Counting Down...

Woohoo!2008 will be here in approximately 1 day .Are you excited?Well,I don't know how I am feeling.I am excited at the prospects of learning new things,encountering new challenges and doing more crazy stuffs and just spend the year with lots of fun and at the same time,hoping for it to be a fruitful one.However,I really don't know if I am up for the challenges that lies ahead.Contradicting with myself..again..Haha.

Well,this year has had its share of ups and downs.I have had really fun times,not forgetting troubled ones.Hm,I do hope I have grown quite abit after all this and grow out of all these.After all,life is about moving forward and improving,right?Well well well..yet another is going to pass.How many more before the time is up?Hehe..

Holidays is officially coming to an end.Next thurs I will be back in sch,donning STK's uniform once more for the very last year.Holidays has been fun,I had quite a number of trips,some short,some long.Somehow things just seems different.Perhaps the previous holidays was way too long.All in all,this whole journey of 2007 has left me with a lot of discoveries,and not to leave out..lots of memories,regardless of sweet or bitter ones.:)

So,TZH here gonna wish you all an early HAPPY NEW YEAR and enjoy your life!To everyone,gambette ne and let's make 2008 yet another year to remember as we strolled down memories lane in the future!

Adios!

Time..

It just occurred to me that time seems to be flying really,really fast.Just yesterday I was counting down to Christmas Day with the rest of the youth at John's place and now Christmas is a day over.I just think that sometimes we are not allowed to slow down and walk at our own pace like we wished because the clock just keep ticking away.So responsible yet cruel.So many things to do with so little time.What exactly lies ahead?I dont know..I really dont..Will I have enough time to accomplish things I wish to accomplish?Will I be able to live out my life to the fullest?All these questions seemed to continue popping up as each day passes by.How many more Christmas will I be able to spend?I wish as many as possible..Haha..Well,I guess all I can do is continue to march forward to find out what's expecting me..and to make the best use of the time I am being allocated with..

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Well,Christmas is today and in a matter of 3 hours time,it will be over.I've always agreed that the end of something marks the beginning of something new.The end of Christmas indicates that the year is really coming to an end.In another 7 days,we will step into the year of 2008.I went carolling as usual with the yf-ers yesterday from 5.30 pm all the way to midnight.Lotsa jokes and fun as we make our way to different houses,trying to bring some joy to people around us.It was always nice to sing carols and to celebrate the birth of Jesus.We all got out of the traditional suits and tie attire,opting for something simple and casual,a carol t-shirt and jeans.

Christmas is the time where everyone in the famile just spend time together and people caring and bringing happiness to others around them.It's always nice to be in such an ambience.I've been looking forward to Christmas and I sure did enjoyed this year's Christmas.The food at Uncle Jordan's place was fantastic and with 2 buses fulled of energetic youth,we sang our hearts out at 22 different houses!After the service,it's off to movie with friend and National Treasure 2 is fantastic!Watch it and thou will not regret!

The new year is approaching.What's awaiting me?I don't really know.I know I am sitting for my STPM,but am I really prepared for it?I think I had better be.Haha.Well,a new year,a new beginning with new expectations.Looking forward to the new adventures and stories to jot down.Wish all of you a blessed Christmas and a good year ahead!

TZH OUT!

Guilty As Charged!

Well,recently I have been going through some events where I get alot of fingers pointed at me,saying I did stuffs that sort of hurt them.I guess I am at fault and I take the blame totally.I realise I need to stop trying to convinve people I am right,whether in a good or bad way.I admit I have a very bad-tempered and I can just flare it at anyone if they did something that,to me get on my nerves.I like to step up and take charge of things,thinking whatever I do is right,most of the time I get into troubles with many people and of course,throughout the years I have learnt I am actually pretty much wrong on every occassion.It's not the 1st time I have someone saying at me I should control the words that come out from my mouth.I think I have been pretending to be all right with what I said and thinking everything is fine,which in fact,isnt.

I realise sometimes certain actions I do and certain words I said not only affect myself,but people around me as well.It's so true that your mouth can build someone up or tear someone down.Sometimes,just because of words I have said or actions I have taken,it can spark quarrels or worst till,hatred among others.I should not do what that will cause people around me stumble.If I have ever did any of those to you,I sincerely apologised.

I do not like it when I am being reprimanded but I have learnt that when I am at fault,all I need to do is keep quiet and listen.Listen more and TALK LESS is what I need to practice.Building up my character as what Pastor Elijah stressed in the camp is just so true to me as of now.I need to start giving up the rights to be right in every situation,whether I am wrong or not.I believe I can do it and I just want to say I regret for bringing and tearing you guys down sometimes.I hope everyone of us,including myself will be able to practice the Elevator Principle like John Maxwell said and just bring everyone up,not down.

Anyways,Christmas is around the corner.Shouldn't we be joyous and bring some joy to people around us?Btw,TZH is rather broke lately.Anyone willing to bless me with some hard cold cash?:X

Christmas

A season of love and blessing.Christmas is just around the corner.In fact,it's only a week away.How time flies.Well,we have a pre-christmas celebration at the public library on Sunday,16th December and it was pretty fun.This year around,we get to hold the event inside the library and the library actually invited us to do it.I enjoyed the whole event.Nothing beats a smile and the joy children have.It's really priceless.So all of you out there,STOP WORYING SO MUCH and let's be joyous!Christmas is here!Haha..Anyways,here are some pictures for you all..

ESP 6

Hola everyone.I had come back from the ESPlosion 6 camp that is held in Inti College Nilai.To begin with,I was rather excited and at the same time,a little dissatisfied.Well,I was expecting some place that's nice like Bayu Beach for the camp but turns out we are going to Inti where we are to stay in hostel and used a common toilet,no air-con too!Before I left for camp,I have written down a few things I sorta expected at the camp.I wasnt feeling very good,both physically and emotionally throughout the camp.So as a kickstart,I decided to help out as much as possible during camp and occupied myself with works so as to keep my mind focus.I think I over-exhausted myself cause I got a very terrible sore throat by 2nd day of camp.Haha.

Well,the speaker Pastor Elijah was cool.His messages were very straight forward and short and based alot on the bible.I thought the messages were nice.I mean,long messages actually drove me to dreamland.Hehe..Well,on the 1st night he spoke on character and that God is always watching us no matter what we do.I have been guilty of feeling it's all right to do certain things when I know I aint supposed to do so.So,yea..that got into me and a 2 days before the camp,someone came up to me to tell me that he thinks I should work more on building my character.Ok,now is that a coincidence?Leave that to u to decide.

He also said that it's not the speaker that matters,nor does the PA and all.It's the word of God that matters.Often,we are so indulged into getting good PA systems,good speakers then only the messages will be good.But that really does knock us all on our head hard.One very important thing was this too.IF YOU HAVE FAITH,GOD WILL PROVIDE.Many a times,we are just so scared to try something and always saying,I aint good enough.Truth is,we are good enough.Just that we are denying our own abilities that God has given us.It's not that life is unfair.WE ARE BEING UNFAIR TO OURSELVES!

Well,I somehow enjoyed being alone more during the camp.I wasnt exactly a loner and I enjoyed companionship.But during the camp,I tend to to just wanna be alone and I did that on several occassions,just quieting down myself and seek the Lord,which helps and I think I have sort of gotten the answers to my expectations in the camp.I got to know alot more people in this year's camp too.Btw,the food was nice but way too spicy.4 days of indian food and my throat is still sore!HELP!!!!

Fairytale VS Reality..

Well,I have just watched a movie called Enchanted.It's a movie by Disney's that mixed up all the fairytales we have ever known into one story.The story was funny,the song was nice and seriously it's a fantastic movie.Wait..Am I here to talk about the movie?Of course not.Well,it's just that this movie got me pondering over a question.I guess my title says it all.FAIRYTALE VS REALITY.

Do you all believed in fairytales?believed in dreams coming true?believed that everything will have a happy ending?Well,I do.Doesn't everyone of us does?When we were young,I believe most of us would be indulging into stories like Cindrella,Sleeping Beauty,The Mermaid,Aladdin and so much more.Disney's has just mesmerised each and everyone of us since young.Since when did we lose that belief that there is a happy ending for every story?As we grow older,we tend to be influenced by the world and just really focus on things that are so-called important.Fame,status,materials and wealth is what we believed will bring us a happy ending in our life.Think again,does it all really matter?Can you really bring those with you when you leave this world?I'll leave that for you to ponder.

For the past 2 days,I have been involved in the soul survivor camp.It was great and I don't deny I was having an emotional breakdown these couple of days.Pastor Mike spoke of someone who really made me realise how naive I was.That person is none other than someone called Hilda Bachelor(I hope it's correct!).She always seems to have time for everyone and cared about everyone around her.People would tend to think she's a nuisance but think of it,if you have a bad day and someone just comes up to you with a smile,doesn't that just bring a little warmth?I realised no matter how busy we are going after things,even in terms of serving God,we always have time for others,just to care for one another.So I really encouraged all of you out there to just take a steps slower and look at people around you.There's always time for everything.

It's pretty hard to just say such things and not living it out.It's kinda like hypocriscy and I don't deny I am pretty much TALK THE TALK but rarely WALK THE WALK.So,here I am trying to really just learn how to build my character and be a better person,a blessing to everyone around me.What has this got to do with happy ending?As Christian,we are told that if we accept Christ as our personal saviour and obey His words,we would be in heaven by end of our life and we would received His blessings abundantly.So,think of it..isnt this some sort of like a happy ending we are all seeking for?I myself was seeking for something and when I could not get it,I would be like.."Man,the world is coming to an end..".Of course,nothing comes easy.In order to achieve the fairytale ending we all dreamt of,we need to really work on our relationship not just with God but with people around us too.

So,yea.Ladies and gentleman,let's all just take things slowly and who knows,things will change for the better when we thought it's a nightmare instead of a fairytale?

p/s:TZH is currently looking for his fairytale princess.Anyone willing to be one?:P

Soul Survivor...

Soul Survivor Camp is held in Kluang this year.I missed the previous one as I was having my SPM examinations when the camp was held.Before the camp began,I sorta like have no expectations or whatsoever from camps this year.Then,that got me pondering and I decided to just list down a few things I expect to learn this year.So I did.I have been to Christian camps since 2005 so I know a little on how the sessions are like..and to tell you all the truth,I was like..ok..serious time but I wasnt prepared or anything for the camp earlier.But you know what?God is great!He just totally amazed me tonight..once again I felt His presence and the message preached by Pastor Pilavachi just struck me so hard and somehow answered a question I jotted down yesterday.If that was not amazing enough,try this..Midway through the prayers,Pastor Mike Pilavachi asked if someone's left leg was not feeling good and that person is me!Truth is..nobody knows about the pain except me!How amazing God is.I am really looking forward to tomorrow and also the upcoming ESP camp.Thank you Lord for You are an amazing God!
