The old has gone and the new has come! There's no many many things that I want to do this new year. Never mind the financial constraints because I know that my God will provide. I will never look back at my life ever again. Let the past belong to the past and the future belongs to those who are willing to do something about it. 1 year, 1 dream, 1 destiny. Here I come Lord.

An excerpt from the Harvest Times which I find it beneficial to share:

Going beyond the past hurt

When you think about a past, painful event today, how do you feel? Are there unresolved feelings of bitterness and resentment? You know you have "forgotten" when you can think about that pianful situation today and not feel or controlled by negative emotions such as anger and resentment. Yes, there may always be a trace of unsease and doubt when we remember those times, but if we walk with Jesus, He will heal our hearts over time and empower us to look at the person who has wronged us through His eyes of love and mercy.

In a few days, we will usher in a new year that will bring with it new meanings and new beginnings. But possibly one of the best things we can do for ourselves is to learn to leave behind the experiences of our past and move ahead with confidence in God, knowing that He is always in control of our lives.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" Think of how many people you can influence each day at work and in the home, community and church. Each of us has the opportunity to influence what people believ, and the potential to make a real difference in people's lives...and to contribute to the growth of the Kingdom of heave." Luke 1:37 it says, "With God, nothing is impossible."

Thank you God for bringing me through year 2009. Although it wasn't very smooth-sailing, the thought of knowing that you are always by my side gives me the confidence to tackle life's challenges everyday. In a few moments time, year 2009 will come to an end. And I want to enter Year 2010 with a fresh new dose of faith, because I know that it is very easy to slip back into running my life on feelings and sight rather than faith and the Word of God. Faith comes from only one source and it is the Word of God. I want to lead a life of confidence that is faith-filled because I know that leading a life of confidence stems from knowing that I have the victory in my Lord Jesus Christ, and that I can look forward with the hope that you have given to me.

The end of a year sparks the beginning of a new one. I pray that if my resolutions are in line with your Word, let it be done. Because I know that a good dream is good, but a God dream is even much better.Year 2010 will be a year where I start drawing closer and closer to you, because when I do so, I know you wil l definitely reciprocate in a greater manner. Amen.

I did not believe it initally when the movie critics gave 5 stars for Avatar. However, after watching it, I could not agree lesser that it is a 5 star movie, probably even surpassing that benchmark. A very touching story that offer movie-goers an extreme form of escapism from the harsh reality that they are living in. It even brings awareness to the extent of degradation humankind is creating on the environment. It all boils down to the greed of humankind. We are never contented with what we have and always wanting moreeven if the means to getting what we want brings harm to other species/humans.

On a brighter note, this movie displays the nobility of love. How true love can compel one to do accomplish things that are beyond their wildest imagination. Even if it means forsaking your own race in the name of justice. As much as I wish i could be situated in such a utopian world, the reality seems to pull me back to earth. Watching this movie was definitely worth the 2hr 41mins and the skipping of my night classes. At least I have learnt from this movie that the magnitude of mylove for people pales in comparison to the love displayed by the main lead. After all, we are all living for the audience of one.

Today's service message was one of the best that I have encountered so far. I feel empowered to do even more things for God. People often remarked that Science and Religion disproves one another. But testimonies have shown otherwise. God promised us in the bible that Christians will always be the head and not the tail. Biblical evidence has reflected that more than half of the scientists that have changed the face of the world completely are Christians. Names like Galileo, Issac Newton, Michael Faraday, Blaise Pascal probably ring a bell. They are famous scientists and are also Christians who believed in the Lord Almighty. God is not only the author of all faith but He is also an author of all knowledge. In the book of Proverbs, It is said that Only a fool say in their heart that there is no God. It is so so true.

The reason why we are able to stand strongly to testify for God is because Jesus bore all our infirmities and carried all our diseases on the cross. Even the Devil cannot go beyond the cross because he is afraid of the power in the blood of Christ. When we surrender our lives totally to Christ, a series of miracles will definitely happen. If someone is knocked down by a truck, He will definitely be injured severely. What's more the power of the Almighty God, if he enters your life, and being infinitely more powerful than anything, how can we say that our life will be the same? Satan has come to steal, kill and destroy. He will put you down, discourage you and pull your dreams further away from you. But Jesus came so that we can have life, and have it to the full!

Therefore, we must set big dreams for God because our God is a Big God. We do not need multiple Gods just like our religions do becos our God is able to do everything that is beyond our wildest imagination. If we try to grasp his ways through our human logic, we would not be able to fathom it no matter how high our IQ is. It is because of the fact that our God is unlimited, that is why He gives us dreams that seem impossible to human.

Year 2009 may be a stormy year for me. But i managed to brave the storm and overcome it. However year 2010 will be a completely different year for me. Armed with new resolutions and the Word of God, I'm going to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world.

This Christmas was pretty well spent. Chilling out in the House of God and attending 2 services with 2 different great messages. Getting to know my cell people more too. Went for countlesss trips of shopping, but in the end didn't buy anything for myself except more food and more more food. Watched countless of movies, both online and in the theatre. Had minimal amount of sleep as well. Went for Bball practise and ended up with a swollen finger. But it was all worth it. I really wish this Christmas will last forever. But life has to move on, Year 2010 will be an even exciting year for me. With the upcoming tests and projects due on january and feb, hopefully I still can make time for some form of entertainment in life. Christmas party was awesome ( including the food). Although the place was small yet I felt at home. The next party will be even greater!

Time really flies. It's Christmas's Eve again! On the very same day last year, I was on my comfortable small bed nursing my chicken pox. The feeling of staying at home while every single friends of yours are happily enjoying the festive season outside ain't really marvellous. This year it will be a entirely different feeling. I'll be spending New Year with a different group of friends doing different kind of things, visiting different places. Probably next year it will be another whole new bunch of people again with a whole new different experience altogether. Till then.


Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow ; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me and just be my friend.

Being an entrepreneur means going through a path where no one else went through before. To prove to the rest that the ominous untrodden path can lead you to the fulfilment of your dreams. Taking this path is not easy because you will face many rejections, many discouragements even the loss of your loved ones. The people who are unable to grapple with the idea of you succeeding is not worthy to be called your friend. Yet there is one who never fails to believe in your potential to succeed, to pick you up when you land hard on the ground, to carry you when all the mockery and insults hurled unto you saps the strength out of you. As you try to run away from the malicious crowd, he tells you with the still small voice, "Be Strong, for I am with you. Put on your armour and carry your sword for I will give you victory." His name Is Jesus Christ.
