Oh Holy Night!

Today is 24th December 2010!

O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.

Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming,
Here came the wise men from Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus in lowly manger,
In all our trials born to be our friend!

P/s: Christmas is not about new shirt or dress, or maybe fashion. But, its all about celebrating and thanks giving for the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ! Let us pray for peace, faith, hope and love! Not forgotten to pray for those who are suffering from war, poverty and starvation. Happy Blessed Christmas guys!

Christmas Call

I'm singing solo for Gospel (Alleluia) at Church tomorrow night.

This will be my first time singing during Holy Mass (Liturgy)!

Actually, they have already asked me to sing long time ago. But I refused to do so. Because I am afraid and not confident! But for now, for Christmas, I'll take it as a challenge: stepping out from my comfort zone, and receiving THE CALL!

This is not the real photo of my church. Just try to 'picturize' it!

P/s: A bit worry because I'm not used to it. Performing on stage and in Church is totally two different situation. But I was thinking, if mother Mary (without hesitation) received the power of the holy spirit to give birth to Jesus, why we can't even do a simply thing (by singing) as a call and blessing?  

But still: God, help me!

Towards Christmas: We Are The Reason

Christmas is coming. Advent?

How is your preparation towards Christmas this year?

Not much words, just a song I would like to share with you guys:

WE ARE THE REASON

As little children
We would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys
We knew we’d find
But we never realized
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift
Of our lives

We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the year went by
We learned more about gift
The giving of ourselves
And what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
A man Hug crying in the rain
All because of love
All because of love

I’ve finally found the reason for living
It’s in giving every part of my heart to Him
In all that I do every word that I say
I’ll be giving my all just for Him, for Him

"Have a wonderful Advent towards your Blessed Coming Christmas!!!
 God Bless."

Ujian Undang-undang Komputer

I made it!

Yeah, I got 49/50! Huh. If only I can get 50/50???

Never mind la. 1 mistake only. Still, thanks God!

And, there is something that I wanna share here. I went to RILEK Donggongon (the place where I took the computer test). I sat on Computer Number 8. (Kira di hujung-hujung sudah!). And, there is a guy sitting at Computer 7.

I started the test with Ujian Buta Warna: Yes, Lulus! Then, Ujian Nombor-nombor; again: Yes, Lulus! But when I started Ujian Undang-undang, the guy at Computer 7 was nervous and kept on saying:

"Kenapa tidak bergerak ne? Geng, tulung geng!"

I was confused either to help him or just ignore him. Because, there is a camera there! And  it was strictly reminded that we can't communicate!

But still, I looked at him and told him:

"Masukkan nombor IC dan untuk status: Klik pada Orang Awam Malaysia" 

(Suara dengan nada pekerja kaunter!)

Then, I focused back on my test. Gosh, I wasted my time. Huh.

But, he kept on saying "Kenapa ni? Kenapa ni?" 

I helped him. But until the third time, I can't concentrate on my test, so calmly I told him,

"Lebih baik encik berjumpa dengan kakak di kaunter tu ya". But actually, I was stressed that time because I can't really focus and wasted my time. There is few more minutes left!

Huh. He went and met her. Actually, that guy do not know how to use computer. I wonder whether he pass the test or not.

Kasihan jugalah tengok lelaki tu! I wanted to help him, but I can't! At the same time, I was concentrating on my own test.

But really thanks God, I got 49/50!

Beating my elder brother and sister: They got 48/50 and 47/50 last time!

Haha.

P/S: Some people out there need our help. Sometimes, we got angry! But, be professional. And, try your best first to help him. Need to be reminded also that, we can't help everyone. And, we can't solve everything. There is something that we need to left behind. BUT, always asked yourself: if you in that kind of situation (the guy), how do you feel if people ignored you? 

That is how they will fill too.

Adios. 

God Bless.

Painting!

Currently, I'm busy with few stuff:

Meeting (For 31 December 2010 Event)

As usual, they chose me to be the emcee. And, I am also one of the Event Coordinator. This is not a youth activity. This is a big event, involving the whole 'kampung'. I haven't yet do my Kertas Kerja! 
Tomorrow will be the meeting.

Carols By Candlelight

This year song will be 'Bethlehem Doiti Jesus'. We want to make it awesome this year. So, most of the night, we'll be having practice. 
And, tonight is our first practice.

Driving Licence

Going to sit for my Computer Test next week.

Painting My House

Busy helping my dad to paint and renovate our house.
 

Youth Revolution

I came out with this idea after 1.5years staying and experiencing the greatest love in Campus Revolution which caused a great revolution inside me. Preparing 'Kertas Kerja' for KBP too. Dear my CF Friends, do pray for me so that I can make it here! Well, honestly speaking, this is my 'real world' challenge. And, it is not easy. I'm very sure, you guys understand and can imagine how.

P/S: So, please do forgive me if I can't join any other event after outside. Meeting with friends? Next time ya. When everything is settled, then I will surely meet with you guys. I still have many days left for holiday. God Bless.

Di Antara Seribu Bintang (Buat Maegyvear)

Last night, I can't really sleep. Then, I sat on my table inside my room, and played my beloved keyboard. I don't know what to do next. So, I looked at my book shelf and saw my SASILA's Collection.

I opened back SASILA SMESH year 2008.

And, found something that waken me up! I read on page 81.

I was so touched after I read the poem that was written by my teacher; Cikgu Datu Ramlee, for me during my last and final year in SMESH.

Di Antara Seribu Bintang (Buat Maegyvear)

Dia di antara seribu bintang

Bersilau indah di taman angkasa

Bersinar menyinari alam maya

Di antara sejuta hamparan cinta

Hidupnya alpa penuh sederhana

Langkah bersahaja tuturnya berbahasa

Pahit getir bisa digalasnya

Demi ibu dan ayah tercinta

Berbanggalah ibu yang melahirkan

Bersyukurlah ayah yang membesarkan

Hadirnya menyeri sebuah kehidupan

Penyambung generasi citra keunggulan

Berkilaulah engkau wahai bintangku

Bertekad cemerlang menimba ilmu

Perjuangan gigihmu diiringi restu

Kemenanganmu pastinya ditunggu

Ikhlas dari seorang pendidik

-DR-

Thank you so much teacher. I really thank you for what you have done to me, since I was in form 1. I realised that, without the presence of you in SMESH, my life will be harder then. May God bless you, your health, and your life! One important thing that you need to know: I will always appreciate my teachers, no matter what people told me badly about them. Because, the thing that I count is the good things you did and the blessings you gave in my life! God Bless.


P/S: Nothing much I can do to show how much I appreciate you. But I hope with this post, it can shows that I really do appreciate you, and all my teachers.

Thinking of getting a Girlfriend?

Surprised?

Haha.
Writing this post just to fill in my free time.

I'm not saying that I desperately need one. Oh please!

But, I just want to share few ideas with you guys, readers.

We heard a lot of thing about this matter, kan?

Cinta Monyet? I believe most of us have experienced it before, at least one in a life time! MOST. Not everyone. Paling kurang pun, pernah bercinta dengan monyet la. Hehe. Kidding!

I'm not saying that this is wrong or not appropriate. Because it depends on how you handle this matter actually.

But there is one interesting thing that have opened my eyes long time ago after being told by someone:

"Kalau tak bersedia untuk memikul komitmen, jangan ghairah nak berkomitmen."

And for me, there are 3 things that a guy should have/get before they plan to be in a relationship.

Having a stable job/career

By hook or by crook, you have to get a job! How you want to support yourself, your partner, and in the future, your family?

Get your own money, please! 

Takkan lah nak bercinta pun masih lagi nak minta duit mak bapak, memalukan! And sometimes (most of the time), burdening them.

 

Can drive a car!

Some of you might think that this is not important. But for me, it is one of the MUST in list. So that you can bring her for traveling, dating, or even to fetch her from somewhere.

P/S: Counting the days left towards 2020. Apabila tercapainya My Wawasan 2020.

Weekends (04.12.10-05.12.10 ) Journal

KURSUS PENDIDIKAN PEMANDU (KPP)

This is the day I've been waiting for! Don't ask me why. So, I followed my dad and reached at KMK around 7.40am. It supposed to start at 8.30am! Thanks God, I'm not alone. Got few people there, and I guess they are also a learner.

I looked around: huh, no one I know! Because I'm so pendiam & pemalu, so I chose to sat down alone, and waiting for any of them to go and say "hi" to me. Yes, got 1! A guy. Huh. I went registered and thus my Rm666 is now gone.

8.30am; I entered Dewan C as what the KMK Staff told me to go. 8.30am-8.45am was for Ujian Buta Warna. And, I've finished within 5 minutes only! With tremendously awesome results, I got 100% correct.

Then, I don't know what should I do, because next is a ceramah yang sungguh menghiburkan. I went to canteen because that Ceramah will only start at 9.30am. I bought a bottle of mineral water with tuna sandwich which cost me Rm2.50. For breakfast? No, just for me to fatten myself.

I sat on a table, at the corner of the canteen, alone! Wasting my time by journaling. And preparing module for my younger brothers and sister during their holiday so that they won't waste their time a lot. Get ready for tuition ya adik-adikku.

On interesting part why I stayed at the canteen until 9.30am: they played Church Songs at the canteen. It is like a 'wow'. Then I imagined myself if let say the cafe in my college play the same songs. I will surely become your 'pelanggan setia'.

During the Ceramah, I DIDN'T SLEEP AT ALL! *Clap Clap*. Credit is given to the first speaker who made the talk fun and FUN! And, I managed to become the Peserta Cemerlang as what I've promised before, by not sleeping and actively asked questions! Yes!!! Another *Clap Clap*.

After 5 hours KPP, I followed my dad back to my home, and I drove! Now, I'm not peserta cemerlang anymore for breaking the traffic rules. 

Reached home, played Volleyball with my friends! And, we won! Yeah.

At 7.00pm, I attend a meeting for 31st December event with few Leaders and Youth. As usual, they chose me to become the Emcee.

After meeting, few friends asked me to join them to lepak at Restoran Maimunah Donggongon. At 10.00pm! Then, went back home before 12.00am. Huh. So, tired!

And SUNDAY, after Church, in the evening, few my friends came to my house, and karaoke-ing!!!  Haha. My weekends hobbies!

Stop, read, and think for a while

Well, I learnt a lot nowadays.
(Yes, everyone did too, everyday)!

CONFIDENT:

Different people have different perspective in their life. But I think, one of the thing that can really separate and differentiate human being (socially) is how they 'boast' or be confident of who they are.

Yes, it is all about CONFIDENT!

I like to observe and learn from people around me; though they come from a poor family, not beautiful, ugly, SHORT, fat, or totally not from high-class people, BUT, they are much more OUTSTANDING compared to others. Why? CONFIDENT.

That is how the first class mentality people do.

Look around you. And, observe each and everyone of them: 

How do they talk?

How do they walk?

How do they bring themselves to the middle of the world?

When people sing, though their voice is not that good, but because of their CONFIDENT, people see their performance as something OUTSTANDING.

I watched X-Factor in YouTube. 

And, one of the reason why the panel give them a 'Yes' is because of their CONFIDENT, and thus becoming OUTSTANDING. CONFIDENT is one of the 'X factor' that not everyone has.

Steve Brookstein, the first X-Factor winner that was given a second chance during his audition. Why? At first, he brought not a good image of himself.  He came with just a little confident of himself, his voice and his personality. He is not so outstanding. And I think, if I am the panel, I will too say either 'Yes' for his voice, 'No' for his personality, and it can be 'maybe' too. I like his voice! Especially when he sang Elton John's and Phil Collins' songs. I agreed that he got the voice! But, you can't convince people, or make people believe in you if you yourself lack of confident!

So, how about you?

Are you OUTSTANDING enough?

How CONFIDENT you are in public?

P/S: But remember, being confident doesn't mean that we need to be proud, boast, and do not respect other. Be CONFIDENT, be OUTSTANDING, and at the same time, be HUMBLE and RESPECT others. That is the real meaning of the real 'CONFIDENT' people.

This is just a piece of idea of mine.
Stop, read and think for a while.

God Bless.

Graduation Dinner Class of November 2010 

JPA A-Level Program (Medicine) Kolej Teknologi Timur

BTN

BTN was not boring as what I have expected it to be. It was fun and the most important thing is, I've learn a lot of thing. During Pendidikan Moral, we played Mafia, Angel and Villagers. Guess what, I'm the ANGEL!!! Undeniable, I am an angel! Hehe. 

Well, citizen of Malaysia; I encourage you guys to read and really understand the Perlembagaan Malaysia before you want to make any conclusion or judgement to the government. I'm not under politic here, but let us be bonded in 1Malaysia with peace, joy and love!

FLIGHT MH2608

I set my alarm at 5.45am so that I can continue packing few of my unpacked stuff. BUT, I don't know why, my alarm didn't work! John wake me up at 6.38am because he can't sleep due to mosquitoes bite! (Yes, thanks mosquito!). I randomly packed my stuff, simply put in as much as I can without planning and furthur thinking. I am rushing to airport!!

At airport: okay, this is the most risky, challenging and dramatic flight I ever had. Proven by John Lau and Jin Xiang (they sent me to airport). Why? Erm. Firstly, I booked luggage with maximum 20kg ONLY. But guess what, my luggage was around 50kg!!! Before check-in, I know that I need to be emotionally prepared because I will surely need to pay for extra luggage. 1kg extra = Rm15. If, 30 kg extra? (Take your calculator, and calculate yourself!). I prayed! Throughout my way to KLIA, I can't focus and for sure, was really worried!

Now, at the check-in counter: After some discussion, the staff said, I need to find people to share the luggage. And, he suggested me to a chinese lady which is having trip/holiday to Sabah too. I went and met her, asking whether I can share luggage or not. But, she just simply said: NO! John help to me talk with her in Chinese, but still, she said: NO! I give up, and went back to the counter. With my innocent face, the staff then allow 2 of my luggage with 23kg to be brought by cargo. But I still have another 2 extra luggage. If both of them, the weight is around 25kg. John said, "I'll help you to post one of the bag". But I said to them that I try to bring both my bags first, if cannot, then only I'll ask John to help me later.

SURPRISINGLY, they allow me to bring that bags!!!! I reached Sabah with all my luggage without paying any! Really thanks God!!! Every counter I passed is like a thousand heartbeat! I was worried if they said "Adik comel, adik tak boleh bawa beg terlalu banyak".  But I know, God can help me through. Really thanks God. And, to Jin Xiang and John Lau too.

My flight was awesome! I was sitting next to on-holiday-senior-steward. We talked a lot of thing. And I learnt a lot of info regarding Malaysia Airlines, and steward/stewardess. While talking, the 'ketua pramugara' of my flight also came to us, and talk with us. The on-holiday-senior-steward is already 16 years working with MAS. While, the 'ketua pramugara' is working around 14 years already. Totally experienced! I feel like VVIP during that flight though I'm not sitting in the first class/ business class. The best part is when they said, the minimun height requirement to become a steward is 156cm! Yes, I'm in! But, you cannot wear speck. Okay, now I'm out. One new and interesting info I knew that day was: to become a steward, you can't or must not have any scar. They will picture you naked first. Wow!!!! 

Lastly, the 'ketua pramugara' asked me: "How old are you?". And I answered him, "19". Then, he said, "Okay, still young. Still virgin!" Haha. Both of them laugh. Then, the 'ketua pramugara' told me, "you can join me to hotel hayat later if you want to". LoL. This part is really disgusting!

But still, I feel honoured and like VVIP that day, having conversation with 'ketua pramugara' some more. Even, while transit to Labuan, I went out, and the on-holiday-senior-steward follow me, talking with me the whole journey. He kept on saying "Wait me ya, wait me ya" if he went to toilet. Euuww. Thanks God, nothing happened! Haha.

Okay, thanks all for today.

Happy Holiday.

God Bless!

Friday, 19 November 2010

When I saw my friends being very committed and busy preparing for the Graduation Night, I just feel awesome and glad that at least 'oh, I have this kind of friends here'.

YEAH, TOMORROW WE ARE GRADUATING!

It's gonna be an awesome night when everyone is dressing up, putting different fashion of mask and even the performances (can wait to see them). Talking about performance, it terrified me when Miss Aifaa told me that I'm gonna be the last performer. Meaning that, I'm singing before the Graduation Dinner ends. But, I DON'T LIKE IT! It's gonna be a trouble later. Why?

1. For sure, I can't enjoy others performance because I haven't perform yet!
2. I can't eat as much as I can. Later will effect my singing. Arggh. Should I bring a tupperware?
3. Save the best for the last: Can I reach that expectation?
4. I prefer to be the first performer so that I can enjoy the night!
5. If I perform earlier, I can simply shout and scream to support my friends, but because I am the last, I can't do so aggressively. If not, no more voice to sing. Huh.

And yet today I feel so tired. Practicing here and there. I can't 100% memorize the lyrics yet. And, my throat now is overuse a bit already. Ayoyo. Hopefully, tomorrow I can make it.

"Maegyvear, the stage is yours. The microphone is yours. And, the camera is yours"

(My motivation)

I just hope that I can focus singing instead of over-posing. Haha.

P/s: Preparing for rosary tonight! My last rosary in KTT this year. Huhu. See you guys later. God Bless.

I believe, My Saviour God

The songs from Britney Spears, Katy Parry and Lady Gaga is symbolizing (or is written for) Eric Fenandez (according to Melzie's blog). But this song is written based on my journey as a CF President for 2009/2010. 

I BELIEVE, MY SAVIOUR GOD

There's a time to be born

And, there's a time to die

There's a time to cry

And, there's a time to laugh

There's a time you fall

And, there's a time you bounce back

Cause Jesus, my Saviour God

Chorus:

I believe in You, I believe in You

I believe in You, I believe in You

I believe in You, I believe in You

My Saviour God, my Saviour God

Trust the Lord, my Jesus Christ

The blood, the cross, the everlasting love

Don't be surprised for the trials you'll go through

As if something strange is happening around

And His love is more that what we've thought

Is greater than what we have caught and fought

And, His plans are greater than our dreams

I believe, my Saviour God

 

P/S: It is not completely telling you the whole journey. Because everything here is completely complicated. I composed this song during my last week AS Exams around June, 2010. And actually, planning to sing it  by tonight (17 November 2010), during our CF Farewell for seniors. But, I don't feel like I want to sing it tonight. But, my promise, when I come back KI (Amen!), I'll surely sing this and bring this as a part of my testimony; I believe, My Saviour God!

Thanks to all my friends, my seniors, and all those people who have walked with me throughout my year here. Not forgotten, the juniors! AND, special honor to my CF Committee 2009/2010! You guys did really teach me a lot, and my experience of becoming CF President was tremendously awesome and memorable. I learnt more about the real meaning of life as a Christian.

Though I'm not perfect, but God really provides me everything!

God Bless.

Countdown

4 more days before I finish my A-level Examination,

8 more days before Graduation Night,

15 more days before going back Sabah.

Time flies so fast!

That's all what I can say now

Pride VS Humility

One of the sins we find hardest to confess is the sin of pride? We are ready to confess our other sins- anger, unforgiveness, lying, beating our children, scolding others – but find it hard to confess our pride. Pride has a way of hiding itself. We hide many things from others because we think that if they came to know about it, they would no longer respect us or like us. That’s pride. Pride means that we do not want to lose face. So we lie, we exaggerate, we make fun of others, we become jealous of others, we criticize others.

I think that many of us would not want to pray like the Pharisee in today’s gospel. So we often criticize our own achievements and try to humble ourselves before others. We will say things like: “No, I’m not clever. Actually I am very stupid.” Or when others praise us, we will try and say things like: “no it was just luck.” We try to be polite. When we serve food that we have cooked to others, we will often say that it is common and simple food although we may have spent the whole morning and afternoon trying to make the most delicious dish to impress our friends. Very often our own self-criticism is an attempt at soliciting greater praises from others. Rather than true humility, every time when we brush off a compliment from someone else, it is an indication of our pride. We actually want them to praise us more.

What is true humility? It isn’t self-criticism, as I had explained. True humility is the ability to recognize both my weaknesses and my strengths. True humility is about knowing oneself. True humility is recognizing that we are nothing without God and that all that we have received comes from God alone. When we criticize ourselves we are criticizing God –we are saying that He has made a mistake with us. That’s not humility but pride! A truly humble person is able to receive compliments and recognize his own strength because he knows that this is a gift from God.

In the second reading, St. Paul appears to be boasting about himself when he says: “I have fought the good fight to the end; I have run the race to the finish; I have kept the faith …” But St. Paul is not blowing his own trumpet. He is actually giving praise to God. He knows that he would not be able to do it alone. He knows that he is able to do all these things only with the power of God. If we read the second part of the second reading, we will see this. He writes: “But the Lord stood by me and gave me power, so that through me the whole message might be proclaimed for all the pagans to hear … The Lord will rescue me from all evil attempts on me, and bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever.”

That’s true humility. To be able to speak of all the blessings that we have received from God and give him glory. We are not praising our own achievements when we speak of them. We are not boasting when we speak about how God has blessed us. Rather, it is God who is praised and glorified. Without God nothing is possible. We need to give testimony to God’s blessings. False humility hides the glory of God. False humility is actually pride that seeks praises for oneself. 

P/S: Truly an inspirational nourishment from Fr. Micheal Chua. Thanks, Father. God Bless you.

Babai Sabah!

I'm coming back to college tomorrow;

My flight is at 6.05am!!!

I had so much fun during this holiday.

But sometimes, feel sad and worry too.

I'm not sure whether I'm wasting my time,

or I should do so before I start back my battle!

2 weeks holiday is not enough for me;

to spend my time with my family and friends.

But, 2 weeks holiday is killing me too.
Final exam is exactly 40 more days!
Think positive, everything gonna be fine.

What should I say about my holiday?
