I was doing some thinking for myself and i came back to the thought that i had a few years ago. Why do people say they feel bored?
Why do we feel bored when we have Jesus who says to give us life and life abundantly? In fact we Christians should enjoy life to the full, because Jesus is our life. And in Him there is fullness of joy!
Therefore i'm about to take a big risk in my life : "Never to say or feel bored."
Because Jesus is the source of life who gives life abundantly and in Him there is fullness of joy!

European Delight
The wait is finally over. We all now know who the King of European football is. It was a night of remembrance for The Rossoneri as they killed off Liverpool's European dream by giving them a tasty 2-1 defeat.
Rossoneri has been always the team that i admired. Although i support Chelsea now because of Shevchenko (hope he goes back to Milan so i can safely support Milan, LoL). Rossoneri, although quite aged in years, with many players over 30 years of age, but they still play really good football. With flair and great vision, plus their technical ability and years of footall experience, they can certainly triumph at any stage of football.
I saw this in Soccernet, "At the end Kaka slumped to his knees in the centre circle and prayed to the heavens while Inzaghi was enveloped in a sea of white shirts." Now that's a faith that is worth commending. Kaka has been a strong Protestant since young. With great faith and moral stature, he sets a good example of a Christian sportsman. He lifts both his hands up to heaven and give God the praise everytime he scores a goal. While giving glory back to God after winning the Champions League, in front of approximately 90,000 people, will certainly let them know that in Christ we can have victory!

Bravo Chelsea
Hail the FA Champions! It was really a satisfying match. Not just because Chelsea beat Manchester United, but seeing Chelsea played their game well was already comforting. Becoming the first winner at the New Wembley was fantastic.
Well i don't have much thoughts on this, so i'll just end it by saying, Bravo Chelsea!

My Contemporary Thought : Psalm 1
Psalm 1 :
1 - Favour is upon him who does not follow what the wicked says, or make himself a green light to the works of sinners, or say to mockers: we're a family!
2 - But he holds tight to the safety jacket while swimming, and wouldn't want to let go even if he spends the whole day and night in the sea.
3 - He will be like living in his dreams, where he does not need to worry about survival, food, or shelter. Everything he touches turns to gold.
4 - But the wicked are like the dust, which people blow and wipe away.
5 - Saddam Hussein, though he was rich and powerful, but in the end he had nothing.
6 - While Billy Graham, God gave him a life that was influential and impactful not only to the kingdom of God, but also to people in the world.

A Lesson in a Day
It has been happening since a long time. Even when i was very young it happened. And it still happens now.....
I was in a MetroBus, on my way home from KLCC. Man, that was one heck of a ride. A roller coaster bus ride. First, the driver drove as if he was blindfolded. Second, the driver drove as if he was deaf which he couldn't hear the honk! Third, it was as if there were no other passengers in the whole of Malaysia.
Recklessness is now becoming more famous among bus drivers. Their attitudes of driving are really a pain in the heart. Sitting in that kind of situation is really not a very good cup of tea. Although buses are big size, i know, but that doesn't make you the "tai ko" of the road. Please show some respect to other drivers.
On the other hand, everytime when buses reach a bus-stop, they always want to fight for passengers with other buses. They would even scold you when you don't get up their buses. That showed me one thing. Transportation businesses are now even more competitive. That's true. With so many more public infrastructure companies coming into this silly market, fighting for passengers is like fighting for a breath of life.
It's just so scary to me, being a person that wishes to succeed in the world of business. I repeat, WISHES. So the future is not for me to decide. But honestly, i feel afraid. Even the bus business is so competitive, imagine other markets.
It all doesn't matter, some trust in chariots and horses, but the name of the Lord is what i will trust if i were to go into the business world.

Endurance of Wait
Waiting, is a torture,
Period of waiting, is a torment.
But joy and gladness they both arise,
When what has been waiting for comes alive.
Hence, to wait or not to wait,
Or should we leave it to fate.
To endure the pain of time,
Which is as sour as a lime.
What drives us to wait?
A faith that believes in miracle,
A hope that sees the invisible,
A love that conquers the impossible.

A Mother's Love
A MOTHER'S LOVE
A Mother's love is something that no one can explain,
It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain,
It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may.
For nothing can destroy it or take that love away,
It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking,
And it never fails or falters even though the heart is breaking .
It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns,
And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems .
It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation,
And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation .
A many splendoured miracle man cannot understand,
And another wondrous evidence of God's tender guiding hand.
~Helen Steiner Rice~
I can say proudly and confidently that my mother is one of the most precious gifts that God gave to me. Putting me into this family with a great mother like my mom is a joy and blessing that is beyond description.
My mom has done many things for me. Sacrificed even her own benefits for the sake of this silly child...me. But what can i say, besides God's love, no other love can compare to a mother's love. Putting me into the best education, bringing me up with tender loving care. It will take such a long list to contain the love and deeds that my mom gave to me. But above all deeds, one that i can never thank her enough is...disciplining me in the direction of God, bringing me up in the fear of God, and teaching me to trust in the love of God.
May God bless you mum. May God give you good health. May God enrich you in every possible way so that you may be doing greater things for the kingdom of God. May i, your only child, bring you much joy and happiness in life, as God continues to direct me in His righteous path.
I love you Mummy!

Keep in touch, wish you the very best in your future undertakings. Hope to see you soon and may God bless you.
Your dear classmate,

Love and Marriage
A student asked a teacher, "What is love?". The teacher said, " In order to answer your question, go to the wheat field and choose the biggest wheat and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick.".
The student went to the field, went through first row, he saw one big wheat, but he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later. Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger one waiting for him. Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he started to realise that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he knew he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted. So, he ended up going back to the teacher empty handed. The teacher told him, " This is love... you keep looking for better ones, but when later you realise, you have already missed the person...."
"What is marriage then?" the student asked. The teacher said, " In order to answer your question, go to the corn field and choose the biggest corn and come back. But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back to pick." The student went to the corn field, this time he was careful not to repeat the previous mistake, when he reached the middle of the field, he picked one medium sized corn that he felt satisfied, and came back to the teacher. The teacher told him, " This time you bring back a corn.... you look for one that is just nice, and you have faith and believe this is the best one you get.... this is marriage."
* Marriage is not a one day or two day thing...choose your right partner and don't regret later. Take your time and get what you really want, and when you are in the marriage, stay in it and don't compromise. Understand each other and go through life together *

Does Evil Exist?
I got this email from a friend. It goes like this:
One day, a professor of a university decided to defy his pupils.
He asked:" Did God create everything that exists?"
A student answered bravely:" Yes He did!"
"Everything?", asked the professor
"Yes everything" was the reply of that student
"In this case, God also created evil, correct? Because evil exists" said the professor.
To that, the student had no answer and remained in silence. The professor was delighted at the opportunity to prove one more time that faith was only a myth.
Suddenly, another student raised his hand and asked:" May I ask you a question, professor?"
" Of course", was the answer.
" Does cold exist?" the student asked
" Of couse, did you never feel cold?" answered the professor.
The student replied:"Actually sir, cold does not exist. According to studies in Physics, cold is the total and complete absence of heat. An object can only be studied if it has and transmits energy and it is the heat of an object that transmits its energy. Without heat, the objects are inert, incapable to react. But cold does not exist. We created the term cold to explain the lack of heat"
" And darkness?", continues the student
" It exists ", replied the professor
" Again you're wrong sir. Darkness is the total absence of light. You can study light and brightness, but not darkness. The prism of Nichols shows the variety of different colours in which the light can be decomposed according to the longitude of the waves. Darkness is the term we created to explain the total absence of light "
And finally, the student asked: " And evil, sir, does evil exist? God did not create evil. Evil is the absence of God in people's hearts. It is the absence of love, humanity, and faith. Love and faith are like heat and light. They exist. Their absence lead to evil "
Then it was the professor's turn to remain silent.
The name of the student was : Albert Einstein

The Fight Began in the Beginning, but...
...now is the end of the Premiership title race. Everything was made settled at Emirates Stadium. Manchester United, the Champions for 2006/07.
Blue is the colour, football is the game.
We're all together and winning is our aim.
So cheer us on through the sun and rain,
Cos Chelsea, Chelsea is our name!
Nevertheless, Chelsea's goal is not finished yet. There is still next season to regain what was lost this season. My thought is this: Chelsea are not as strong as they used to be last season and two seasons ago. They really saw a landslide drop of form, especially when they had limited players to choose from this season. Hope next season will be better. But no matter what,
Blue is the colour, football is the game.
We're all together and winning is our aim.
So cheer us on through the sun and rain,
Cos Chelsea, Chelsea is our name!

Water and Sun
There is a tendency for humans to use too much water, especially girls. Don't be surprised that some guys take a long time in the shower too. My question is this: What do they do in the shower? Ok let's not go into details about that. My blog is a good clean blog. LoL
But come to think of it, I really do want to know what do people normally do in the shower. Why are they taking such a long time in it? Water levels are becoming lower and lower. Thanks to global warming, this is made worse.
Okay let me divert a little bit. Nowadays, countries are taking steps towards controlling global warming. Climate is changing. Apparently, people believe that 90% of global warming resulted from the acts of human. Probably excessive users like factories and manufacturing industries contribute the most. Now we non-excessive users also contribute in a small way, so don't blame it all on other people.
There are steps that are being taken by some organizations to counter global warming. But this is my thought : Can they really counter global warming? Can we really stop the change of climate? I don't think so. Nations are developing. Trees are being cut down. Concrete buildings are coming up. Businesses are getting more competitive. Manufacturers compete by cutting down the cost, and raising more quantities. All these will contribute more to global warming.
I appreciate organizations who are aware of this issue. I'm grateful that at least they're doing their part in controlling global warming. But as far as I'm concerned, with all due respect, they might not succeed in doing so. Unless they re-create a new earth, with nice thick layers of ozone. Which I think is impossible lah!

This is for you Spitters!
Have you ever experienced when you were stuck in a traffic jam, and the driver in front of you opened the door and spitted? Okay I'm not against spitting, but I just don't like how people spit in public, and what's worse, spitting in front of you!
There was this time when I was in the car, got caught in a jam. And this taxi driver in front of me opened his door. "Okay, what is he up to? Wanna scold the drivers in front of him ah?" I thought. "ggggkkkk...pui!!". He spitted!! And in my heart I thought : "Argh you disgusting fellow!! You think your father's road ah? Suka-suka spit!". And the worst part is, I was behind him and I had to try to avoid his phlegm so my car won't get his germs!
Come on, Malaysia keeps boasting about its great culture and how 'hospitable and friendly' Malaysians are. When foreigners or tourists come and see that kind of manners (spitting in public), what kind of image will they form about Malaysia? Think man think.

The Italian Job
Oh my goodness! That was probably the best display I've ever seen by AC Milan! Manchester United were thrashed 3-0 by the Italian giants. I stayed up to watch the match. Ohkay, at least it didnt disappoint me. It was a game worth watching.
Now, previously the pundits were comparing who was the better player, Cristiano Ronaldo or Ricardo Kaka. Okay I've seen both players play many times. Internationally and domestically. No offense to Man Utd or Ronaldo fans, but I think Kaka is better. In terms of pace and techniques, they have both. But, Kaka is more consistent in his play. More focused. So, that's what I think.
Champions League finals will be on the 23rd of May. I'm going to watch that no matter what! Okay, I support AC Milan for that match. Tata

Funny Stuff
I was flipping through my friend's bible and I saw these two funny riddles:
Question 1 : Why didnt Noah go fishing?
Answer : Because he only had two worms (male and female)
Question 2 : Who was the biggest sinner?
Answer : Moses, because he broke all the Ten Commandments.
Cant stop giggling. And those were taken from...ZondervanKids! Bible.

Champions League Terror
What a game! and what a despair! Champions League is always a curse for Chelsea isn't it? 3 out of 4 seasons they got kicked out in the semi's! It's the Champions League curse. Ergh!
But both teams played well. A hard fought game which any of both teams might turn out to be the winner. Liverpool were of course at a better position,playing on their home ground, with their crazy and ever-loyal fans, cheering for Liverpool, and of course, jeering at Chelsea.
I have to agree with what Jose Mourinho said, Chelsea were indeed the better team. Not many teams can play that well in an away match. Maybe Chelsea needed a little bit more luck.
So cheer us on through the sun and rain, coz Chelsea, Chelsea is our name!
A Word from the Ownaarrrr!!
This is my first post. Well everything has a beginning. You just need to take the guts to start. What I'm going to post are all my thoughts and feelings about myself, friends, things, and basically anything that has something to do with me. Maybe things that have nothing to do with me also. Coz I just like to spend (waste) my time thinking, about them. God bless.
