Coincidence?


A friend of mine recently posted about the art class she attended when she was much younger. The topic then got us all talking about the teacher, who seems to have tutored all of us, or rather most if not all of us went for his art class before. One friend even said we might all be classmates last time round. We never know, do we?


It was the same case too in school. Several classmates and schoolmates of mine used to be primary school friends but did not have much contact ever since enrolling into respective secondary school. In STK, they found a place to reunite once more. I remembered when I first attended YF, Paulus was shocked because I perpetually tormented his life for 2 years in tuition. Neither of us thought we would be meeting each other again, not under such a condition I guessed.


Well, I did not know Daniel Eh's sister and my sister were real good friends when I entered STK and I never expected to meet a friend from another school who attended the same kindergarten as me, perhaps even classmate and to find out the niece of my mum's friend is actually my former childhood playmate. Boy o Boy, is Kluang too small or that I did come into contact with many people?


Is this what we called COINCIDENCE? However, I believe there's more to these than just pure coincidence. I think the BIG GUY up there had this all planned out. People don't just come into our lifes. They entered for a purpose and someone once said, each and every1 enriched our life when we allow them to. Hm, true yet in a way debatable, which I wont do it here. Haha. Well, I wonder who will come into my life next?


Yesterday is HISTORY, Tomorrow is MYSTERY, Today is a GIFT. I want to make the best out of every friendship the Lord has blessed me with!You with me?

So Long..

Kai Xian and Engina
Cheng Yee
King Chai
Yet another emotional weekend for most,if not all of us. Another batch of seniors will be leaving to pursue their tertiary education at respective universities comes tomorrow. It's goodbye yet again to these people, people who have bits by bits filled up certain part of my life. Well, let me just talked about a couple of them here ( I cant possibly name each and every senior, so pardon me! ).
First up, there's Kai Xian. I have known her since my primary school days in tuition. She's been a nice senior and she came to know the Lord about the same time as I am ( I think! ). Come to think of it, I forgot where exactly is she going! Sorry!
Next up, Engina. In her, I found a really nice and caring senior who took care of me ever since primary school. Of course, she and my "sis" Erin is like Twins, somehow inseparable. Haha. I seriously do miss the Leo working days. Well, she will be doing Nursing in Sunway University College. She's the one who will actually be going to the city. ( Most local U are located in pretty ulu places..Oppss)
Then, we have Lim Cheng Yee who will be doing music in UPM. Future artiste, do not be shocked if you happen to see his album! Haha. Well, I first knew of Cheng Yee as a lame guy, he still is! But his jokes do somehow bring a little joy into one's life and it's nice to be cold once in a while. Well, we certainly are going to miss his jokes, or not.By the way, he's a very very good guitarist!
Last but not least is King Chai a.k.a Ah Boon. A leader who's good with both words and people. He happened to be my senior from primary school too and somehow took care of me while I was in STK too, along with all the sarcasm and stuffs, making high school life less mundane. He's quite a girl's hearthrob I would say ( This is based on actual facts! ). Well, good at magic and playing the bass too. He's doing Political Science in UKM. I have not much of an idea about the course he's pursuing but well, I will know in time to come I guess.
Many other seniors are leaving too and I just want to wish them all the best in their uni lifes, yet another chapter in their lives. I want to say BYE BYE but as someone once said SEE YOU SOUNDS BETTER THAN BYE BYE and I know I will be seeing these people, who had made an impact in my life, one way or another very soon. Therefore, so long all my seniors!

Lessons

It all started out when I decided to check my junk mail and somehow a mail from Uncle Kwan ended up there,titled AID ON LECTIONARY READING.Even till now,I got no idea why I would received such a mail.So,out of curiousity I opened and read it.

It talked about the current world,where there are two types of people,the predator and the prey.There is this group of people who try to victimize others,the strong ones,dominating and getting the best out of situation while there is another group or weaklings who succumb to the doings of the strong ones and can do nothing about it.Jesus mixed with both these type of people yet at the same time not scandalizing one another.No matter what people said or do,Jesus mixed around and shared the gospel with these people.

Many a times,people like to come out with their own set of values,own set of rules.We always look at certain things and people with our own perspective.For instance, we tend to judge certain group of people with our set of values and then we might try avoiding them. Worst of it all,we might badmouth about them.Sounds familiar?It's like an everyday scenario I guess.It's always human nature and our inabilities to swallow our pride that causes misunderstanding,which leads to hatred.We always think if people treat me badly,I should do the same or Why should I try to be better?It's like a cycle,never stopping and the cycle grows only bigger and bigger,unless we want to resolve it.

People are born with a very good abilities of words and expressions,or simply said, GREAT MIND. So often if not, I believe we always question one's motive behind something or one's reason for his/her behaviour. We will then doubt this person, dont we? Often giving a negative perception. It's not wrong, I assure you. I believe it's normal for human beings to think like that. However, what matter most is how you deal with it.

I think we should always try to bland in with each and everyone( I am learning..) and then not be influenced by them. Yes, despise them we must not but joining them is even a bigger NO. There are couple of people I have had perceptions over their conducts and even doubt them. I dont deny I still have those thinkings but I will try to give them the benefits of doubts. It's something we should all do I think, to mix with people of all classes, sharing the gospels yet not losing ourselves in the process. Let's all talk the talk, walk the walk, not LOSE THE WAY.

Have you?


Have you ever feel disappointed over certain things or people?Have you ever feel yourself being a bump,just constantly getting into trouble?Have you ever feel inferior of yourself,like everything you do means nothing to people around you?Have you ever feel not appreciated,like 10 words of yours are not even equal to one from some people?Have you ever feel like shouting out of frustration?Have you ever regretted over a decision you made,realising it's too late anyway?Have you ever ask yourself why are you here for?Have you ever wonder where does your faith lies?Have you really discover Him?Have you?

Recent Happenings..

In a glimpse of an eye, yet another week has gone by. It's time for weekends again! It was quite a relaxing first week back into school. This was due to teachers discussing exam papers and no classes throughout the week! I guess CALM BEFORE STORM would be the phrase to describe this past week. Well, a little updates of happenings throughout the week.

The week started out with non other than going back to school. It was a familiar yet strange feeling at the same time. Finally, the juniors are settling in while we, the seniors are left with just approximately 4 months before STPM and out of school we get. A moment everyone is excited, scared yet looking forward to. All the fresh faces and discussion about teachers they got does bring back memories of 2007. Well, it's all history by the way.

It was quite fun on Monday night as we had a surprise party for Jit! I can assure you 1 thing, REVENGE IS SWEET! I am not at any point asking you to get back at anyone, okay? It's just what we did to Jit at his house on his BIRTHDAY. Flour, water and more water was his birthday present. Haha. I still do not know who's the brilliant mastermind behind this but I think everyone enjoyed attacking him that night. I embarassed myself though. Aih~

My classmates enjoyed MAFIA when we have no teacher entering our class. Haha. It was kind of funny to notice how they really indulged themselves in the game, creating really loud noise and perpetually louder noise! It was a case of mixed feelings for my exam results though. Finally, I managed to pass all 4 subjects but with 2 subjects just making the grade. Still, I guess it's a good start although it's rather late. Everyone seem to have gotten a really painful yet efficient wake up call. It seem that every student in class now is more focus and really pushing hard for STPM. Well, PU2F1 class of 08, let's gambatte together!

A good rest is for the sake of walking a longer journey( chinese proverb). Now that I have got mine ( I believe you all had yous too), let's get ready to finish the 2nd half of the year on a high!

Water


I just got back from a trip to Mersing.I wouldnt say it's a bad or a good trip,so I guess OK is the word to describe it.Spent a night over at Ying Zhi's kelong and it was rather a new experience.It's not the fancy kind of holidays most of us would prefer but it certainly does gives me a new perspective on relaxing.The calmness in the day and strong wind at night is really nice.So,thanks Ying Zhi for the hospitality!By the way,the food was great too!


Speaking about sea,I thought of WATER.Water is a very important source in our lives as all of us have learnt in science.We all need water to keep our body functioning and survive.Well,think of it from another perspective,flowing water never can be broken,right?That's just like God's love for us.Continuously running,it will never be broken.It will always be there for us.The love of God keeps us going and by His grace we are safe.Isnt that just like water?


Besides that,have you all ever been by a river?If so,have you noticed how does the river flow?It's always downstream isnt it?Christian life is just like going upstream and not down.We are called to be different and it's never an easy path.We are like going against the flow of the river,which in this case symbolises the world around us.Most of us will be comfortable following it downstream but that should not be the way.


Our lives can be compared to the sea too.The sea is not always calm.There will be waves and maybe even tsunami once in a while.It's just like stages or tests in each and everyone of our lives.At the end of the day,everything will be fine again.Water is something that will never run out,just like God's love for us all.It's up to us to decide if we want to drink water,which is whether we want to accept His love for us.


I guess as people,we are all born with a nature to try to speak our mind on almost everything,especially into our people's life.Mayb sometimes we should just give those people their deserved space and time and I believe God has already or will bring certain people into their lives to resolve those so-called "problems.Do not be tsunami to these people's lives.


Plants need water to survive.Without it,it will withered.Just like our lives,without God we will be going nowhere and withered.Right now,I do feel like a withering plant,needing "water" to rejuvenate myself once more...
