Inspiration from a dog. Hachiko

2011-07-18T23:46:00.000+08:00

Hachiko, a dog that was from Japan, always sits in front of the train station awaiting for its master's return from work. The show, Hachi was an inspiring one and watching it many times over it never get me bored.

What inspire me most from the show is this: eventhough Hachi is a dog, his loyalty towards his master never goes. Even when his master did not return to the station 9 years after his death, he still wait at the entrance until the day he die. What show of love. Of respect. Of loyalty and care. As humans, is it not that we're suppose to be better than them, as in the animals? We know we must be loyal. We should love each other and respect one another regardless of skin, language and religion. Still, we're seeing things like having an affair, ignorance to people in need and racism. All the saying but not doing. Hachi did what most people fail to do. That is his obedience and love towards his master.

Still, apart from that, Hachi reminds me about myself in christian walks. Just think of us as Hachi's master. When we're off to work, he will wait for us. When we return, he rejoices. But the time comes when he did not come back. Hachi could have just carry on with life, but he waits patiently at the entrance. God is the same. We may go where ever we like and do many things, but He's there waiting for us. When we did something wrong, He's always there for us, looking and watching over us.

Its a great lesson to learn. Hachi, salute u!!

Glee stories

2011-04-04T00:38:00.000+08:00

Yes, for the first time I'm going to relate Glee to us. Us includes myself, my friends in school and also the teachers nevertheless the parents.

All these while I thought that Glee was a musical show that is just like any other musicals, just plain music with some acting and drama and dance and so on. But I was wrong. Glee wasn't like that, its more, sensitive, not to mention related to our society today as well.

First off, Glee is a group, a form of school's club. In it, consist of so-not-popular people like a fat girl, a big nose girl, a gay with crazy high but yet beautiful voice, a kid on a wheelchair and more. But that changed when a football player, Finn Hudson, joined the club. He was a quarterback, a leader in the football team. Joining Glee, is like joining the losers. Anyways, that's when the whole drama begins. Watch the show if you want to know more.

What I wanted to relate is Glee and the St.Paul's Christian Fellowship (SPICF). No, we're not musically inclined, nor do we need to be actors. But the lives in it is all that counts. See, people in Glee is students who are not accepted by the society. For example, a wheelchair guy. Who wants them? A fat yet bossy girl, please... Rachel, a born talented singer but too high self-esteem. Who wants to be with them? Glee is the answer. People in Glee accepts them who they are, regardless color, history, background, personality, age. Whatever. The main thing is do things together and have fun together.

What hits me the most was about Quinn, Finn's girlfriend. See, she got pregnant, and her ignorant cheer coach just kick her off the team after knowing she's pregnant. All the glory, fame, gone! Humility strikes in, what more, joining Glee club. She got rejected everywhere else, but accepted in Glee and she felt at home and safe there.

This is what SPICF should be all about, making it a place where students feel safe and at home when they're not accepted outside, where the world shuts doors at them. We as Christians should instead open doors for them and let them in, covering them with love and compassion and let God touch their lives, securing them. It's our mission to be for the society, not to be there for the show. We should be reaching out, giving care and love just as Christ did for us. See, many things can happen to a student such as in Glee. For example, pregnancies, humiliation, annihilation, drugs, political, its all around us. They need somewhere to belong to, and honestly in this world of darkness, who else can shine the light except us who accepted Christ? Lets shine it all for Him and let people follow that light to come home.

Education to the limit

2011-03-21T23:15:00.000+08:00

Going through the Form 6 life is no easy thing. Technically speaking, everyday there'd be homeworks, papers, activities by the school, and more homeworks. Its a general routing for all Form sixes...

Having a good education is necessary in life, but not every person is able to take it all. We're not Einstein you know...After 9 months, it finally dawns to me that the lessons to learn in Form 6 is more than bearable to me. Most of my friends too saying its hard and too much. Many seniors just said its normal, just go through with it and you'll be out in no time. Yes, but its a long way to go.

Teachers are doing their best to instill their knowledge in us. I acknowledge them for what they do. Imagine, so many things to do in a year and a half, its like making the twin tower in two years. Rush, pack and tension not to mention the stress level. No wonder the adrenaline level is rushing like crazy...

Its only March now...so got to endure it more. Hope to make it and reach the sweet taste of the reward later.

The end of days

2011-03-13T00:24:00.000+08:00

Every religion talks about the end of days, the day of judgement, the day the Earth is in chaos and so on. It is undeniable that the day is upon us. It is nearing as we speak. Nothing can prevent that, not even the mightiest or the most intelligent of man can ever stop that from happening. Still, there is hope.

Revelation is a scary book to read, especially for the new Christians. It is the last book in the bible, talking about the future of man and the things that is to come. Natural disasters, wars, the labels, its all here. War in Libya, riot in Egypt, protesters in the Arabian countries, natural disasters happening globally, the latest is the earthquake in the eastern coast of Japan, near Tokyo. Many lives were taken just like that, and expected more as the Richter scale is reading more and more earthquakes everywhere.

There are many proof we're in the times of revelation. Its time to get ready for what is to come. The mentioning of the mark of the beast and so fort is already here. Examples? Most of our price tags are believed to have the markings of the number. Microchips as small as a dot of the pen is already created, inserted into the people to track their ware abouts and maybe in the future use for buying and selling. Many churches are sleeping like in the last church, the church of Laodicea, where Christians are lukeworm. Its time to get up!

We as teenagers can do our part by praying for the better of everyone. Its time to let the light shine in this dark times, to take the journey to walk with God, to bring revival to the land, to take the lead and help the lost. Its our mission, our goal, to encounter, equip and evangelize.

Friends

2010-10-22T00:12:00.000+08:00

In school we were talking about how friends influence us in our daily lives. How true it is. Our character, actions, thoughts and so much more are mostly influenced by our friends rather than family (for our age circle).

It suddenly hit me, what am I doing to influence my friends? Have I been a good example, a modal perhaps, or just a walking pain? Noting that, I reflect on what I did and well, its not as I hoped for. Time to change and its something that needs to be done, especially when we want to shine for God and also to be a disciple to others.

back in the show

2010-07-23T00:14:00.001+08:00

Been MIA for a very long time...so I guess I'm back.

Will probably update once a week or so. anyways, updates.

Studying in St.Paul Institution for Form 6, yea, the same school again and the same teachers again. Alright, maybe one new teacher but still. Subjects hard like one of a kind and homeworks, wow...no words can describe. Mountain top.

Met new friends in school, guess can say good buddies now. Lithia, Rahmat, Anthony, Rachna and Esther. The closest buds I ever have since Form 1. Fun being with them.

Yeap, I'm still in scouts, the Assistant Scout Leader (ASL) now, still in karate, the class monitor, planning to join the editorial board, and still in Christian Fellowship. Nothing much have changed besides the positions and all. All else same old same old.

Hillsong concert coming up...can't wait. August 11th.

Aspirers 2010

2010-03-09T11:47:00.000+08:00

Let it Shine!

That's the theme for the year 2010. And how beautiful the theme is. Shining the light God gave us to others. Share the light so that others will receive it and share it with others, and the process goes on.

Aspirers camp this year was held on the 26th-28th February in Golden Straits Villa in Port Dickson. Speaker was Rev.Gidion Lee. Not really the kind of person into the whole spiritual thing, but more into self submission to God. Second night alter call was amazing. People started crying and surrendering their hearts to God, making the commitment to shine for God where ever they go. Many rededicated their lives, many accepted Christ. Indeed God is good.

Will be hoping for more of these to come in the coming Aspirers activities. Its time to shine and let this light of ours to shine brighter and brighter everyday. Amen.

This little light of mine

I'm gonna let it shine

This little light og mine

I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine

Let it shine

Deepavali-Festival of lights

2009-10-18T17:49:00.000+08:00

Happy Deepavali to all my indian friends. Lateness...suppose to be yesterday. What to do, reached home at 2. Sure want to sleep what lolx.

Whole day was bored yesterday. Can't do anything because I got no car plus my parents. Shan't go further. Anyways, enjoyed going to Malveen's open house. Lets see if I can remember who was there...
Malveen(duh..),Jason Chan and Yip, Yappie, Xiong, Jaryd, Pang, Lim Lee Haur, Calvin Wong, uncle Quah, Teh Yu Heng, Carmen Tan, Charmain, Sim Lim, small brother (Yun Yan). Many more but can't remember le *blek*

Went there, of cause, dinner. What else? Spicy mutton, chicken, rice and some indian delicacies. Malau's mother baked cake. Delicious...especially the chocolate cake. Lucky Shawn wasn't there...if not there goes the cake lolx.

Well, the outcome from the visit was good. Finally got to meet with mysterious Charmain. *Mysterious because only knew her by sms lolx* Met Carmen again after first meeting with her in Bukit Mewah school.

Jason Chan was hype in a way...not the usual. But, biasa lar lolx. Worst is the names they started to call......can't believe they said that...

Hope can go there again. Next year...malau must invite lolx.

ps.Carmen...don't trust rumours please. That is not mine. :)

Coincidence?

2009-10-04T23:07:00.000+08:00

Yes, its hard when we want something...in other words expecting something to happen but it didn't, well not the way we want it to be right. All I can say is God is in control. Only He knows our path and He'll lead us into it.

Meeting people. Many people thinks that the people they meet, whether friends, colleagues, family members etc, are all just a normal thing that is done on Earth. Well, think again. Every person we know, or get to know, have a purpose. I believe God place these people in our lives for a reason. And most of it for our own good. It may seem bad, but when we look to another point of view...its a good thing.

For example, love. Hah. Something familiar to all of us. Wonder why we can get in love with someone? Not just anyone, but that one person? And what about break ups? Is it all there just for being there, or is there something behind it? If we're in love with someone, then fine. Go ahead. If its for you, then great. But if you break up, is that a bad thing? I mean yea we do get hurt and yes takes years to heal the pain getting dump after giving our heart to that other party. But who knows? God is so mysterious. He works in ways we cannot see nor understand. Maybe through that experience we grow stronger, more patience. Isn't it positive?

I don't think that all things are a coincidence. Everything happens for a reason, whether we like it or not. Its not up to us to say, but its a matter of life. It was quoted; "Life is 10% of what happens to us. The other 90% is how we react to it". So, its all us. Are we positive, or are we negative? Its our choice.

God is so great. His works are so marvelous. Indescribable. That is the word. Guess, life isn't about us after all. Its all about Him. Amen.

Study

2009-10-03T21:10:00.000+08:00

First time, I've studied like crazy and longest time ever...just fo SPM...can't believe it. It wasn't because of God, I wouldn't have make it. And also, thanks to big sis for encouragement, support and motivation.=D

All I can say that God is faithful and wonderful. Studying is one of the things I dislike if its not up to my interest. But He placed big sis in my life to change me. And guess it did.

Hope can get good grades in SPM. Not wanting much. Just at least credits the lowest and not Ds. Thank you God. Thanks sis.

23.9.2009

2009-09-23T23:01:00.000+08:00

Yea, spent time with sis *Lee Wern today. Misses her dearly, but can't spent longer time with her because she is tired. Can't blame her. haha. Still I'm glad she continued and see me.

Went to Central by KTM. Then took LRT and Monorail to the Time Square. First record, 5 trains in a day and 3 kinds of train at a go. haha. Anyways, the experience was yet again a good thing.

Walked in Time Square the whole day. Haha, yes of course she mention leg hurts, she cannot walk long distance. Haha. Well, different people different things. That's beside the point. Went walking, chatting and walking and waiting and walking and looking around and walking and joking. Lolx. But really REALLY really appreciate the time in that restaurant. Really brings me some good things besides taking my hunger out. Sadly the service kinda poor, not to mention the *if not mistaken manager* actually shouted in front of his customers at his workers. Pity wei.

Well, came home and tired le. But really glad for the trip. Thanks jie. Hope again yea in Dec lolx...when you come back la.

Heart of compassion

2009-09-04T23:33:00.000+08:00

A heart of compassion

What is it?

Love? Care? Forgiveness?

Merciful? Kindness? Humble?

A person who has a heart of compassion is all of above, and more than that.

Its more about our actions, the more milage we're taking.

Someone may be helpful,

or maybe caring,

or maybe forgiving.

Is that enough?

We will help those we know,

those we care,

those who are important to us.

But, what about those we don't know,

those we hate,

those who is so and so to us?

Are we giving the same care and love and forgiveness to them?

Its time we do so.

When we see someone who is unknown,

car was down and at the side of the road,

will we just watch and drive/walk along,

or lend a helping hand?

A heart of compassion is someone

who loves everyone

without asking for returns,

without looking at race, religion, backround.

Its something that seems small but

it can change the big,

busy,

messy,

irritating world

into a world of love and compassion.

Typical

2009-08-23T19:03:00.000+08:00

Must be wondering right...why I can still come online doing these stuff including writing this. Answer is simple I guess...not studying now le...hais...trials is really bugging me wei...its all the same thing...study, study, study.
Can't get it off me leh.

Most of my friends had left for church camp d in Genting View. Cannot forget that place when we went last year for Aspirers Retreat. Haha...espetially Pastor Willard. He rox. XD

Truely, what is this feeling in me..? Its so complicated...lonelyness, missing those feelings came crashing down upon me...Whats up with me???

Anywayz, life so far ok. Got two weeks of trials left. Hope I can get good results le. Of cause don't expect all A's but I just hope to get at most credit le and pass Add Math. Killer paper hehe.

Writing off. Till then

Lifestyle

2009-08-04T23:20:00.000+08:00

Thinking about all the time...God has been faithful to me and still am...just that I'm the one who will not be faithful...Really sometimes I think to myself...why God loves me when I sinned against Him? But thank Him for loving me.

Love is something that is hard to handle. For me, I know. Really. Just that its really irritating sometimes not getting things into your own ways right. Love is something like that. You want to love that someone and maybe be with that person...but well due to somethings it cannot happen and we've got to give it up. God's love is way different from us. His's is everlasting and will not end no matter what. Even when we fail He will rise us up again. That is the God who loves us.

School, work, home, all the same. You are always you. Can never change that. Lifestyle is something that we go through daily as if its a daily routine. We wake up...eat...work...talk...etc. Well, its how we live out the lifestyle, right?

Its time to live a meaningful lifestyle. Love everyone..not just a specific person cause that specific person wont make your life full. You need friends, families and of cause God. Lets live that life to be a better person in this corrupted world.

King Scout Orientation camp

2009-04-26T14:32:00.000+08:00

King Scout Ori camp held on the 24th April 2009. Crazy 3 days 2 nights camp. What can I say? Its all for the King Scout badge right.

We, that is Pang Chin Kiat, Ng Zi Yang, Goh Jia Syer and myself from St.Paul Institution Scouts joined the camp. The 4 of us are the only Non-Malay in the camp. Chan Jun Ren joined us later in the last day of camp due to exams and all.

As usual the camp was done by Tuan Shamsuddin and his teammates. All explanation was made to prepare us for the camp. Our team was considered the good one, not perfect but good and better in a way because majority of the King Scout trainees are weak in scouting knowledge etc.

Thank God no mosquitoes this time. Haha. The days were sooooo hot!!! Sweating as if just finished bathing and didnt dry ourselves. At night only allowed to return to our campsite at 1.00AM. First day of cause sleep early. Second day sleep at 3 because we had a mini fire. Was kinda nice because we got to lite fire on wet grass and cook something.

Hope can complete all logbooks and learn more things for the King Scout camp. To all scouts, all the best in obtaining the King Scout Badge.

Easter 2009

2009-04-20T16:32:00.000+08:00

Sorry for posting this up late hehe. Was busy lately with work and so on.

Agape Gospel Assembly hosted another drama for Easter this year. The drama was entitled "Who did it". With guidence from Aunt Jenny, Aunt Cynthea and Uncle Jeremy, the whole drama turned out fantastic. The whole drama team was awesome too.

Drama team have practised for more than a month for this show, just 21 minutes or so for the actual thing. They really put up a lot of effort to make it successful. A good work and job well done drama team. :P

The video recorded is not really good in quality due to my camera quality. Sorry ah hehe. But I do hope you will enjoy it :) The recording was too big so its divided into 3 parts kie.

Friendship

2009-03-17T11:17:00.000+08:00

Thank God for all the friends I have and relatives too. I mean, without them I will feel lonely and lost in a way. Same for the others right?

At times I feel left out when I'm with my friends. Why? Well, sometimes they don't talk to you, just a hi and bye, etc. Just feelings but yea... its very hard to not have those feelings. Friendship to me is not a pact with someone that says 'Hey, lets be friends.' and nothing happens. Ever felt or happened to you someone said he/she is your friend but they don't keep in touch or make you feel like a total stranger? Think about it. How are we making our friends feel when we are with them?

My best friend is no doubt my God sister. Whenever I need someone to talk to or just express feelings I will turn to her. Not only she understands and listens, but advises also. When being with her its like... one of the nicest moments ever. She is the kind of friend that a person wants, someone who listens, spend time and also care for her friends. Don't all agree?

Friends are someone who is second to family. We turn to them when we are happy or sad. Instead of being alone or whatsoever, we intend to stick with them. Imagine a person who have no friends, no one to turn to, no shoulder to cry on, no partnership, nothing. Bad right. Just think about it.

Many of my friends have migrated to other countries for further educations. I thank God that we can still keep in touch and update with them through e-mails. This way not only increase our friendship and strenghtens relationships, but also tell the person on the other side that there is someone who cares here.

I do hope all will join hands with me and make this world a better place by caring for friends and relatives. People fight or have war because of high in greed and low in love and care. Things can change, and we can start the change now.

2008

2009-01-04T22:03:00.000+08:00

A beautiful, wonderfull, maraculous, fantastic, blessed, joyful, excellent, tremendus year to be said. 2008 is indeed another blessing for me by God. I can tell that the past year 2008 was a good year for me.

As all knows, it's a year where I am 16 (finally sweet 16 lolx). Many things can happen to a 16 year old. To cut the story short, I just want to say the things that is really a blessing to me.

Early the year, Aspirers Retreat entitled Live, with us Pastor Willard, a cool young guy who not only is funny, but also a heart touching one. During the altar night I was touched and really am glad to know that after all I've done, God still loves me. A sinner, not worty of anything, still God promised me that He will walk with me and reach out together. Thank God for His neve ending mercies.

Then, school's concert entitled "The Colours of Life". This was the first time I got a band, at first consisting of only three players, Azriel, Matthew and myself. Thank GOd we added two more and what a day. They are Cheok and Edmen. We practised, played, and had fun together. People was pleased and well, its a win win situation. To put all in, our band got a good repo with the teachers and were selected to play for the OPA dinner mentioned in the older post. Then we also got selected for the form 6 farewell dinner. God really blessed our team. GO FLAME!!!

Later, church camp entitled "His presence my passion", conducted by Rev.Irvin Rutherford. Great camp, got connected and met new friends. A camp not to be missed lolx.

I joined the choir ministry a little while later. I thank aunty Jocelyn for putting me in the team. Not to mention all choir members for their hospitality and help. Mostly to Selwyn, my tenor leader for guiding me all the time.

Christmas Musical 2008, His Story...the story in the old post so no need talk so much yea. Good one and Paise God on High for His blessings and works in the Musical.

The year ended with the coming of 2009. I pray that this year will be an even productive year as its the year for SPM!!! Got to study hard liaw haha. Gambatei.

Chung Ling 18th campfire and 11th skill competition

2008-12-21T21:49:00.000+08:00

This December was really a no free month. In the begining was the Musical, then the campfire. Later something else. Anyhow, I'm here again to talk about the Chung Ling High School, Butterworth's campfire held on the 19th and 20th Dec.

A total of 11 members from the 46th Third Owns Scouts, St.Paul participated in the campfire and competition. In extention we were joined by 3 girl scouts from Tanah Merah school. The competition was about the skills that is found in the scouts and guides activities, such as the backwood's man cooking, modern cooking, mini pioneering, commando and many more.

The competitions was organised by the Chung Ling's scouts themselves. All went well and of cause, there was joy yet tense feeling presented in every one. Scouts and guides shouting, cheering and clapping for their team members as they do their parts in the competition. All in all, the whole school was transformed into a scouts and guides ground.

On the 20th night was the grand campfire itself. Scouts, guides, KRS ( School Youth Cadet), and police cadets joined in the fun. As everyone was waiting for the campfire to start, cheers and shouts was already heard throughout the whole field. During the campfire, all participators watched performances done as part of the competition. After that, as all other campfires have, FREE DANCE!!! The one thing that cannot be missed. Everyone danced and laugh to the joy of the music as if the place was a disco pub. Everyone was so happy that the night flew sooooo fast.

Every good must come to an end right. Well, the last day was a sad day. Yes happy that we (Paulians and maybe other schools) had a wonderfun experiences that cannot be bought with money, but also sad because we are going to miss the school and the dear scouts and guides there. Well, as a representative, I wish to the Chung Ling Scouts and Guides all the best in their upcoming activities and I pray that the next campfire will be even more exciting than ever.

Of cause, during the campfires I got to know new friends, even old ones who I don't really get in touch with such as Chan Jun Ren, Ah Yong, Kim Chai, Ker Lin and Melinda lolx. VIVA LA SCOUTS!!!!!!! ONCE A SCOUT, ALWAYS A SCOUT!!!!!!!

Christmas Musical 2008

2008-12-16T14:45:00.000+08:00

This year's Musical is the whole story. From birth to death to life. Well, what can I say? Agape Gospel Assembly presents... HIS STORY!!!

A musical full of music, dance, and drama. A must to watched. To those who missed it, well, next year. Hahaha. This year I joined the choir and well, I'm glad. Not only new experiences comes to me, but knowledge and friends also increased drastically. Lolx.

Firstly, practises. 4 months. No joke. Enjoyable but tiring. As newbie well I got some teguran lar. But its for my own good right. Also can change ma. But so far still under training stage so called la. Haha. Practises was good and of cause lots of commitments to be present there.

On the first night, the Musical was great. Same goes for the second and third night. Thank God for those who have changed their lives. The musical may be two hours, but when the musical started, it flew as if a dust is being blown by a thypoon. It was so fast unnoticable. Praise God for the work in place.

What else can I say? Can't wait for next year's. But I guess cannot sing because of SPM. Haiz. Anyhow, it was a great start. Thanks a lot to Aunty Jo, Su-Ann, Selwyn and the others for helping and guiding me. And also to Joanne Fong for transportation lolx. (Need to include her if not kena marah, then no transport back lolx).

This is Joanne hahahhaa.

Day in KL (Kuala Lumpur)

2008-12-02T00:19:00.000+08:00

Mood: Sleepy

Where do I begin? It was a beautiful morning when bla bla bla. Haha. To the point, a day in KL with my bestest friend, my God sister, Lee Wern. Took a train from Seremban, leave Seremban, wait for destination, then Central, Kuala Lumpur.

My first experience going to KL alone... by train some more. Given the ticket at the wrong time, have to buy a new ticket... saw her... take a train to Mid Vally, a big hyper market (Which is always crouded and always the bad choice to take train back home through there).

We walked for hours and played pool and watched movie (Bolt, so cuteeeee). Then later went makan then go walking again and then rest and then walk again. Haha. Camera battery died at the wrong time... haiz. Least got a shot of us hyak hyak hyak.

Yet again took a train to Central to Sentul (Mind you, I had never expeienced such a condition in my life. People crouded like angry oxes, pushing and pulling in and out of the train. Thank God I went in the same time as Lee Wern... or else I left alone in the station waiting for the next ride.) Going to her house was another experience. Roads congested, people walking like its their road, dangerous pathways, and a 'great' bus ride.

Her house was nice. Cosy, small yet got a feeling of harmony. Her niece was cute... but afraid of me I guess haha. Her dad was cool, so is the bother. Ate dinner, took a ride back to the train station and balik Seremban. Reached about 10.30 and parents want to eat so went mamak stall and only reached home at 11.30. Bath, chill out and writing this at 12.43 AM.

Finally, I'm done. Want to sleep so, see yea and God bless hyak hyak hyak. And thanks a lot jie. Had a fun day.

NOT Impossible

2008-11-13T18:29:00.000+08:00

I just watched a show entitled "Facing the Giants". My friend borrowed it to me and so I watched it and was really really touch and impress by what God can do to us, humans who sins and who is not worthy. I just want to express what I felt when I watched the show.

The movie is based on a man named Grant Taylor, a football coach in Shiloh Christian Academy. Basically the school's football team was not doing well at all. They've been losing many matches and fell. The student's parents want to change a new coach. At home, Coach Grant Taylor was facing difficulties also. His house smells, his car dies all the time and his wife cannot be pregnent. His life can be said as a huge failure to him.

One day he felt really broken and was really scared of what his life will be. He decided to dedicate his life to Lord Jesus Christ and thats when the whole story change. Things change for the better and all went well. His team got stronger, students became close and many accepted Christ. In his personal life his house became 'clean' again, and he lived a happy life.

His school's team won many matches that time, and as a gift, one of his player's father got him a new truck. To him, life became clearer and clearer that he lives to serve God and not to win football all the time.

The final match was the playoffs at state level, where his team were to play with the Giants, a team from another high school who have been winning the state playoffs 3 years straight. Fear started attacking, but his faith is stronger. In the end, the team won 24-23. It was the greatest victory because the final score was gained by the team's kicker, David, who kicked the ball at a distance of 50 yards. It was indeed a great victory.

What I've learned is that God is on our side. Many times we tried to do things on our own strength. And most of the times it fails. Grant Taylor tried to manage his team on his own strength and it brought him failures. When God is in his life, he gains victory. God wants us to win, but to do that we need to love him and believe that He will bring it. Let all be in his hands.

Coach Taylor asked David this after the game," David, you've just kicked a ball further than what you can do. You wanted to quit but when you trust God He brought you further. Now tell me what is impossible with God?" David replied "Nothing".

Amen. Nothing is impossible with God. He is capable of doing all things. And Amen, God with us.

Commitment

2008-11-10T21:24:00.000+08:00

Been a long time since my last post...and only wrote this when reminded by Zizi (One of my close fren). Nothing to write about actually...lolx. Well, lets talk bout commitment.

Commitment is something that someone will have in their lives whether they want it or not. It is something that we want to do to get something we want. The smallest commitment is eating and sleeping (still commitment) to big stuff like responsibilities etc.

I'm not sure of the big stuff like those in working areas, but I do know of small things like responsibilities towards the society or to an association. Majority want to have a big post in a department for good looking. Yes, it does, but do that person knows that the higher the post comes higher commitments? For example, they got to attends meetings all the time, help out as much as possible, must be on time, never lack anything etc. All big stuff. If that commitment is not there, whats the use?

I want to put myself in this blog for once...lolx. I got a friend who I also accept as my sister (Besides Lee Wern). She is Zizi la... (Zirah). I'm not sure why but I am making a commitment to make her happy and not sad most of the times. See, commitment is like a journey, at the end road is the prize u want to achieve in the future.

Lets all make a commitment that we will do our best in everything so that we will achieve what we want to gain.

Out with my bestest friend

2008-09-29T18:14:00.000+08:00

Lee Wern in the centre

Ever had a friend, who you've not met before? Or someone who you know a lot but have not met face to face? A best friend whose face is not known? Well, I have one. Her name is Ng Lee Wern, and I'm not afraid to say that she is my bestest friend I can ever have.

Yes I know that online friendship is said to be worthless and not worth it. It's almost like seeing something and adore it a while and then forgotten. But I can make that statement false, for me. Lee Wern is the person whom I never regret knowing through the net.

The first time I knew her was during an online game called Mo Siang. She was in my party so I just made friends with her. I then asked for her email add and hp no. some weeks later. At first we were like just talking to kill time. Then later I want to really befriend with her, thats when its all started.

Lee Wern became my God sister (A kind of relationship) one day when I asked her online. She accepted and of course I'm over joyed. I enjoy having conversations with her and building our relationship. I thank God that He gave me the chance to talk to her and that we can increase our relationship.

Today, 29th of September, was the day I finally met her. When I saw her I was thinking, "I must be dreaming cause I''m finally meeting her". We went Jusco and talked and walk around, singing karaoke and played pool. Lolx. Can neve forget the day.

I just pray now that we can meet again soon and that it will be an even memorable one.

"God bless you jie."

OPA Dinner (Old Paulian's Association)

2008-09-22T21:21:00.000+08:00

What can I say? Clear blue sky, the sun shining high in the sky, people all busy here and there, nothing really special but this... OPA Dinner was back again and was held on the 6th September at Hotel Royal Bintang (ex-Royale Adelphy). The place was packed with people, food, and of course, performance. This year, the Flame is performing for the old Paulians after the concert held in July.

The five of us, Edmen, Cheok, Azriel, Matthew Bates and me, Jeremy Fong, was invited to perform by the OPA themselves after seeing us performed at the concert. Others who was selected was the Prefectorial band, the chinese dance team and two indian rappers.

Practises was held months before the day comes. This time we played two extra songs, making it 4 in total. The songs are Better than life-Hillsongs Australia, Leaving on the jet plane and Country roads-John Denver and a special song, Rhimestone cowboys-Glen Campbell. With the help of an old paulian, Mr. Francis Singh, we manage to pull it off as we didn't have enough practises and improvements.

Thank God for His blessings and glory. We played well that night although I made mistakes (confession). Lucky Azriel backed me up. Anyway... we (the 5 of us and the prefects) went to A&W to eat after performance. It was the best feast of the day. A celebration of victory.

Will expect to see Flame on stage again next year. For now, its back to studies and more studies. Cheok may be going to New Zealand next year. Lets hope he will make it.

Till then, this is Jeremy signing off. GO FLAME

Church Camp 2008 (His Presence, My Passion)

On the 17th of August, we had church as usual in the morning. But this day was different. Many of us were excited as the time draws near. Church camp is back...and I'm in it this time. Woohoo.

We left church about 12.45 in the afternoon. Loads of stuff were packed in the bus till we have to put our luggage in the back seats. Pity the girls (Fiona, Larissa, Aleathea, Lynne and Charlene) cause they were in between the bags, plus 2 guitars, mine and Edmen's.

The journey took about 4 hours in total. We reached the hotel safe and sound. To our surprise, we thought the place was just normal shoplots, because the hotel was in front of a number of rows of shops. The internals was good, warming and already excited to get into the rooms.

The food was just fantastic. Buffet and not just that, the food was like...goodness, way too good. The best ever. Mostly the jello and pudding, a.k.a. Jian's stomach. Lolx. Azriel cannot stop himself with the cereals in the morning. Sial man. It's like the only food he can have.

The first night during sermon, God is already there in the hall, in us, in the word. Many were touched, many cried, and most of all, worshiped like never before. Hands lifted up, songs of praise being sang to glorify, and words of the spirit being spoken to praise the Lord. The altar calls were responded in a great way. Many people went out to dedicate themselves to the Lord, making covenent and being blessed with the Holy Spirit.

Pastor Irvin Rutherfort was the speaker for the camp. His topic was about God's presence and our passion to seek Him. Our main character in the bible was Abraham, father of all nations. Pastor Irvin's message is really touching, not to mention funny at times.

On to the activities, we had swimming, telewalk, gym, cave exploring, makan, pictionary on the street(no choice). Haha. All was good. The cave exploring was great. Got to see weird stuff... girl's leg, fish, goat, cow, Sadam Hussein, etc. All weird stuff. Swimming was fun. Jian cannot float...can you believe that? Joyce got pushed into the pool two days straight. Haha. Azriel even better, he got thrown into the pool.

The camp was altogether fun, exciting and enjoyable, but too fast. When we went home, we already miss the camp. Praise God for His presence in us and lets join hands to share His presence with others. HALLELUJAH.

Blessed

2008-08-02T21:07:00.000+08:00

Months ago my school had a concert entitled "Colours of life". Its a concert full of dance, music and drama. Praise God for the number of people who came for the concert..(1200++ came). Personally this was the best performance given so far by my team and me. We played 'Better than life' by Hillsong Australia and 'Leaving on the jet plane' by John Denver (for all the uncles and aunties).

We were rated one of the best during the concert. All glory goes to God. I know that if it wasn't for Him to bless us, we wouldn't have reached this far.

Recently, one of my team member, Edmen was informed by the principle of SMK.ST.PAUL that we are to play again, this time during the OPA (Old Paulian Association) dinner. This news brings us 2 sub-news. One, we are given the chance to play again in a hotel during an important event for every Paulian. Two...many aunties and uncles...means lotsa oldies!!!

Besides all these blessings, God also given me many things in school. Most of the societies and Uniform units that I joined put me in a post. Its good as it helps me in my co-curricular marks. I'm now the Troop tresurer (TT) for our scouts 46th Troop. Then, I'm chosen as the worship coordinator in the Christian Fellowship, which is good as I like music. Last but not least, I've just been elected as president for Karate-do. Thank God.

Well, I'd say God is the best of the best. He is always there and will always bless and provide. Thank Him also for giving me the chance to go for the church camp for the 1st time. WOOHOO!!!

God's grace

2008-06-07T23:27:00.000+08:00

Well, Azriel reminded me of God's grace towards us during our activities and stuffs. Just want to note some of what God had done and given me in the past that moved me.

Firstly in my PMR (Penilaian Menengah Rendah) exam on 2007. Before the exams my mind was in a bad state. I actually regreted because I didn't study really hard and, actually play more than study. Eventually I did only last LAST minute study. I was actually worried that I will fail the paper. Thank God He kept me in a stable condition. haha. I even had dream of failing my papers. Thank God, when I got my results in December 2007, I cannot believe I got 4A's 3B's. I know only God can do this, and thank Him fo that.

Then, there is the Aspirers retreat. On the second night pastor Willard had the prayer session. At that time I was thinking that I may be like usual just worship God and all. I confess that I did sins in the past that I cannot forgive myself. When pastor ask all of us to come out to the altar one by one, I follow the line. He started talking and God was speaking through him. When I hear what God said and that He was willing to forgive me, I was over joyed and so happy that He forgave me. Thank God that He was willing to pardon me. I cried of joy that day.

Thirdly, the school's concert. I asked Matthew Bates and Azriel Paul to join me in the concert as a band. We got 2 guitarist (Azriel and me) and a keyboardist (Matthew). Thats all we have. No vocalist, no drummer, no bass guitarist and no electric guitar. Just the three of us, both singing and playing. We've been through 2 auditions, and for each audition, we only had 1 practise. Not to say that we are good, its just that we didn't meet often to practise. Other teams they've got electric guitars and all the stuff needed, and I'm sure they have a lot of practise. During the audition, we sang 'Better than life' by Hillsong Australia and the second audition we added an oldie, 'Leaving on a jet plane' by John Denver.

We didn't really think we can pull it off as we were singing a worship song and an oldie. But the expressions and comments given by the teachers were beyond our expectations. We were one of the best groups and that they like the songs very much. When my friends heard us playing during the audition they were giving good comments too. I'm confident and sure that this wont happen if it wasn't for the grace of God. All this was possible because he worked in us and He helped us to pass the audition. Not only pass, but taken as one of the best. What an awsome God He is.

I hope that through the 'Better than life' song we can not only do it to help the school's funding, but also as a way to reach out to non-believers. And I also hope that through this concert the 3 of us will have a testimony to tell to others about the Great and Almighty God we are worshipping.

P.S.-The concert will be held at SMK.Saint Paul's Institution, Seremban on the 4th and 5th of July. Tickets will be sold as part of the charity program. The tickets are Rm10, 30, 50, 100 and 200++. Your participation in this concert is very much appreciated. Before I end, I want to say thanks first. Viva Paulian.

Aspirers Anniversary 2008

2008-06-05T00:49:00.000+08:00

Heyall...Aspirers just celebrated its 25th Anniversary on the 1st of June 2008. What a celebration. The people, the songs, the dances, the acts, all fantastic. Something shouldn't be missed.

The celebration was held in the evening, started at 4pm. Every member of the Aspirers were ancious about the celebration. Many have prepared sketches, dances and loads of stuff. The preparation was all good.

First and foremost this was my 1st time ever attending the Aspirers anniversary due to some reasons. Thank God for he gave me a chance to attend the celebration. I got to meet some of my seniors too because of this celeb.

A few weeks ago some people yet again remimded me about the anniversary, hoping I will come because I have been missing from the events in the past. Well, thank God He gave me the chance this time, and thank all Aspirers who reminded me about the celeb (thx Ale and Arthur Tan).

Some of my friends told me the event was a good event and they liked it. Most of them liked the games, songs and most of all, drama. "Watch the Lamb" by Azriel and his team was a good hit, not to mention our church's drama team, who played a meaningful sketch specially for the celebration.

Worship was best. Long time I've not jump with the beat during worship, and what a joy doing so. Not because its fun, but its also great to know that we are actually dancing with joy for our Lord. His presence was with all of us during that time. And all glory goes to Him, for all our prayers were answered.

Conclusion? Not to miss the Aspirers anniversary in the future. Just like the retreats, the anniversaries may be short, but still will impact. Again, all glory goes to God.

Aspirers-Aspire to inspire before we expire

SMK.St.Paul's Sports Day 2008

2008-04-26T15:59:00.000+08:00

Our school held a sports day on the 25th of April,2008...Raptai on the 24th and 25th. I am writing this as what happened to us, the Third Owns Scouts.

24rd- Morning-We had footdrill raptai. About 1 hours or so...tired and ached all parts. The members were not disciplined, not to mention attitude. The teachers was giving all sorts of comments...and well of cause, complains. The field was wet due to the heavy rain the day before, and yep, our shoes were brown completely. One look at it, you wont believe it's a school shoe.

24rd- Afternoon-After school, we had another practise on our own. The Cadets had theirs, so was the St.John Ambulance. As usual, basic routine. Commands, march and lots of complains. The coordination was bad, and footsteps, indescribable.

25th- Morning-Yet again, another Raptai. This raptai was a little better and much more serious than the day before. But still some members were as irritating as usual. They can never stop shaing and looking around...and yes, the field was wet...as usual. Lucky some students filled the wet pit with sand/soil to reduce the water. Some of us had wased the shoes on the 24th, includine me, but now...we see it brown.

25th- Afternoon-Now the real game began. All we could say was "Do your best. Enjoy. Lets end this". We did the whole process, and thank God. All coordinations were right. All in line, all moving in the same motion. And best of all, discipline were much better than the previous raptai's. Only 2 of our members were in bad shape due to the Sun's heat. But all went well, and we only have to wait for the results to come out, as we were doing this not for the sports opening, but also competing the other Uniformed Units.

25th- Evening-Alright...its time for the announcement. First of all of cause the sports men will be announced 1st. Then, its our perbarisan turn. "Bagi pertandingan perbarisan diantara badan beruniform, pemenangnya ialah...Pengakap!!!" What!!?? We won. Goodness, we won. Can you believe it. WE CAN BEAT THE ST.JOHNS. Cool. Cheering and shouting, we were over the moon. Next time, we will win again, if we have the same support from all people. Heheh.

2008 (January till March)

2008-03-03T21:31:00.000+08:00

Mood: Tired, sleepy and bored.

It had been a hectic begining of the year 2008. Ever since January 1st came about, my schedules are quite tight up. What's more, I'm still a teen right. :)

Begining January, school started as usual. Classes, asking about PMR results, wat happened during holidays, all those kind of stuff. Major stuff first of all, school fiece. With all the new laws, the price of the fiece is like, "OMG, RM 200++?". Then, class commitee board. As the AJK, its a responsibility to do all work properly. Sadly.

As for Scouts, as usual, all PLs(Patrol Leaders) are screwed by our very own, TL (Troop Leader) Koon Foo Siong. Every now and then all the PLs are in big trouble, including the innocents (me). Some didn't do work, some didn't follow orders, some are just plain playful. And best of all, we got new patrol members (great, double the trouble).

ASPIRERS RETREAT 2008. WOOHOO. The best ever. Aspirers retreat was so great this will replace the first and second retreat. Held at Genting View resort, this camp is only, I repeat, ONLY for youths. Hahaha. Fun and laughter, and not excluding, God. His presence is so real. And HIS mercies, I will never give it up on anything. Pastor Willard was good in the message, mosly with the pictures. (Will tell more bout this camp in the next post).

February, month of 'ang pau'. Relatives all over came and well, of cause, red packets filled with money. Too bad I got no friends to disturb or trick by putting this note in the packet and pass it to them. The note read "I'm terribly sorry. I forgotten I'm not married".

March, lots of stuff going on. Firstly, I formed a band consist of 2 guitarist (Azriel and me), 1 keyboardist (Matthew Bates), and a vocal/spare keyboardist (Wei Shawn). Lots of stuff going on in this group, from laughter to anger to fustration to excitement and then, entertainment. Secondly, CF's (Christian Fellowship) commitee board is finally filled up. President-Me, Vise president-Ron Backus, Sec-Joel Chong, Treasurer-Calvin Lee, Worship coordinator- Christopher, Program leader-Azriel and Bulletin board leader- Tan Jia Wei (Arthur). Lots of work to do as a president, with no guidence, God help.

Last but not least, Class debate team. Can you believe it? Even with my 'emotions' during the debate test I'm still in. I was like "Not me, not me". But then, its me. Luckily, fast fast say, spare. HAHAHA.

Cross Country 2008

2008-01-18T17:05:00.000+08:00

18Th January 2008

About 7.30 am all Paulians and Paulines gathered at the assembly yard. All got ready for the run. The guys looks double active that day. (Sad to say so cause I'm included)

After putting the bags into our respective classrooms, all gathered at the yard again. Mr.Malai got his 'assistant' to get all participants warmed up. The space was limited so we had to squeeze in. Then Mr.Malai told us to go to the field...

We got into our so called 'groups', made by our very own self. It's purpose was so that we won't be lonely or left behind. We even got our own 'map guy' that was Zeno Jerome. Finished giving all the announcements, the signal was given and all went loose.

It was a very good start. All Form 4 students went first. So my group was like jogging together giving signals and all. Was fun for the time being. All we could see was students running out of school like people released from prison.lol.

Going down the school was easy. No sweat. All we did was jogging down so soft like a feather falling. Sri Raam (my group) asked to stop when we got down of the hill. He was like a cat gasping for air after being chased by a dog. I think he was just pure fat. Lol. No mercy. Continue jogging. 'NO PAIN NO GAIN BROTHER'

I took the lead. The rest follow me like 'follow the leader'. After passing the Petronas station Raam and Zeno was out of breath. Sad to say, Kelvesh and I abandon the team and head on (I was still energetic, surprisingly). We head on straight to Taman Galena.

To go to Taman Galena...we need to go up hill again. This time I'm feeling tired. So...what to do. Walk la. So I stayed back and Kelvesh took the lead. When I got my strength back, I jogged and caught up with Cheok Zhang Ming. Both of us walked together while chatting like never before (We don't have much time to chat, so this is the best time to talk).

During the walk...we talked about tons of stuff :- school, guitar, life etc. When we want to jog, we jogged like crazy. When we walk, we walked like people wore off. During the walk...we entered Mont Jade.

At Mont Jade...we got to go downhill...so it was another easy ride. But the catch was...when we got downhill, we found ourselves at Jalan Tun Dr.Ismail (Templer road). At that time Cheok and I jogged all the way to the templer flats. Then, I abandoned Cheok and joined Wee Soon Yee. (Sorry Cheok).

From Templer flats we jogged between the houses and on towards Chan Wa's field. Soon Yee and I thought that we will be going back to school through the shops in front of the field. Sad to say that instead of turning left, we turned right and there we go, uphill again. And there we go...walking uphill feeling burned out and pain in the leg.

To our surprise, the route brought us back to the way we went to Taman Galena. Happy and tired, Soon Yee and I jogged down hill. He stopped, not sure why. I continued to the traffic light. Aw Kim Wee was there. Time for a challenge.

I walked and jogged to the finishing line. Going up this, yes THIS hill is the most tiring one of all. I was already feeling weak as I was walking towards the pavillian. Then, I saw the finishing line. Out of no reason I got some strength and I jogged to the end. Then, it was done.

After giving the number and took a bottle of water, I sat with friends and felt relieved that the race was done. One think I found out was that during the cross country, I was not feeling anything at all for my legs. When I sat down, suddenly a bad sence of pain came to me. My leg was feeling pain and I could hardly walk well at all. Thank God for substaining me during the race.

And the good news is, I finished below 100. WOOHOO

Christmas Musical

2008-01-03T20:12:00.000+08:00

Never in my life I got the guts to stand on stage acting. I did sing on stage last year, but acting? That's new.

When I went to church one day, one uncle asked me to join the drama team for the musical. My first thought was, "No way I'm going to act. Never will do it." But after a while, I 'surrender' to him and sign the form, but not confirmed joining or not.

After some time, unc. Jeremy say some encouraging words that make me feel 'ok'. Then aunt Jenny also say things to encourage me. So I finally say "I'm in."

Lets cut the crap. The point is, the musical was fun. The practises was enjoyable. I can still remember the first time unc.Rajen put hair hardenner. Cool hair style. Spikeky and matches his face. Hahaha.

The stages was beautifully set up. No doubt that our church members are very talented in many things. Angel Gabriel's wing is so huge that in the waiting room everyone asked him to stand aside, not to mention asking him to watch over the wings, because it can slap people. Sister Janice kena what.

The best part was during the make up. All the cast wore their costumes, got ready to look nice. Mostly us teens (boys) tried to run away from the aunties doing the make up. Too bad in the end we have to do the make up. After dinner, we continued, with the lipstick. To tell the truth, it is really bad on us. Looks ugly. Lol.

After the finalle, all cast, crew, choir and dancers went out to meet the visitors. So many people that we can hardly move. Angel Gabriel took the honour of taking pictures with the visitors. Sure enough they will touch his soft, yet heavy wings.

Now I can't wait to join the choir team...hope my voice is good enough. Hahaha.

Christmas

2007-12-21T19:35:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas to all.Haha.

Christmas is a season celebrated by all on Earth. It is a celebration full of joy and surprises. To some its a day of gifts. Some it may be a day of rest. Some it may just be a holiday. But to many of us,it is a day of blessings, as it represents the day of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Christmas celebrated with carols, games and most of all...PRESENTS!!! Who can forget that? Children desprately get off their warm, cosy beds and run straight to the christmas tree filled with gifts under it. Without waiting for their parents they rip off the presents wrappers to get a look of their gifts.

Later in the evening, friends and relatives will come into the house with huge presents and maybe, a large fat tasty turkey for dinner. When everyone got onto their seats, say their prayers, and start to joke around while eating the delicious food on the table.

Later on they tell stories like "the Christmas Carol" or sit round the fire and joke around some more.

But most of all...we thank God for His mercies and joy He poured onto Earth. For love He sent His son to die for us. But lets just remember the day...He sent His Son to earth. Christmas day. CHRISTmas day.haha.

Songs,Musics

2007-12-17T01:22:00.000+08:00

It's amazing how people can make songs out of something.FOr instance,christmas songs.

Many people have created so many songs just to be funny.And its quite right also.haha.
For example.

Deck the halls:
Fill the school with gasolene.
Tra la la la la la la la la.
Strike a match and throw it in.
Tra la la la la la la la la.
Watch the school burn to ashes.
Tra la la la la la la la la.
Aren't we glad we play with matches.
Tra la la la la la la la la.

Imagine.So many songs like that.It will one day be a memorable joke song.

Earth

2007-11-14T19:33:00.000+08:00

Our world was created good.It had all that we need.All that we can have.All that we can do.But its failing us today. Why?

Resources are all around the world.Oil,petroleum,wood,coal,minerals,etc.All will be gone in a matter of time.Why?

Earth was a life filled planet,with the biggest of mammals to the smallests of insects.With greens from the top of the valley to the bottom of the sea.Why many of them goes extince?Why?

Humans.What are we?Are we no different than all life?Are we no different that we need sources to live?If we are,why are we killing so many jjust for our needs?Why are we harming Earth just for our needs?Why?

Why do we have wars?Is it for money?Is it for power?Is it for fame or pleasure or land?If not,why do we have wars,killing people and hurting the innocence.Is it worth it?

Of all of the above,is it all worth it?Is it worth it to harm mother nature?Is it worth it to harm other living creatures?Is it worth it...to harm ourselves?If not...why do we do it?

Please do put in a comment for me to see your views.

Friends

2007-10-24T22:06:00.000+08:00

Friends are something a person will have;rich,poor,big,small.All have friends.Since we've been born to Earth we have friends.

There are many kind of friends.Friendly friend,quiet friend,noisy friend,romantic friend,smart friend,crazy friend,etc.Each friend are important to that person.

But many people now mix with the wrong friends.These people are those who are doing things like smoking,stealing,drug addict,all negative stuff.These people dont know that they have mixed with the wrong group until someone tells them.

Good friends are those who do the positive stuff.Eventhough they may do wrong,but not as bad as the negative friends.So...these friends are worth it.They are people who normally don't skip schools,accept bad advises,etc.

All we need to know is this,'Friends can influence,either good or bad'.So...we have to pick our friends properly.Remember...once mix with bad friends its hard to turn back.So...are you mixing with bad or good friends?Are you making friends with good or bad people?

Please post a comment to this blog.I want to know your thoughts.Thanks.

Love

Many people say 'I love you'.Some say 'I like you'.But in their hearts its 'I just want you a short time'.

See...many times we follow what our FEELINGS want us to do,not our HEART.The truth is...if your feeling say go for that person,and your heart say stick with only friendship...you prefer your feelings.

When we follow our feelings...we tend to lose what we want.Infact,it will make things worse.

For example...why do many celebrities fail in marriges?One thing...they go for feelings.The person may be handsom/beautiful,but only appreciate it for a while.Not many last long.Max at least 5 years.

But some people,they follow their heart.If that person is right,their marrige can last to end of life.Even better...live a happy life together on Earth till death.

So this is my question.Do you prefer to follow your feelings and let things fall out,or follow your heart to make all things ever lasting?No one can make this choice but you alone.

Please give me your comments so that I will know whats in your mind.Thanks.
