water

i realized that ppl are like rivers of water... just like water takes the path of least resistance, so also we prefer living life in the way of least problems and "resistance"... so we go thru life trying to "invoke" as little problems as possible, think about bad stuff as little as possible... but then i realized that as christians we shouldn't avoid problems bcos' it's only thru trials and problems that we grow... and if we're not growing you're falling backwards...
heh, i realized this cos' there're 3 frens whom i see "falling backwards" cos' they're choosing the "easy" way out... hmm... pray hard for those who're falling out of our faith bcos' they don't wanna take the harder way...

no more money

well... it was fun while it lasted... the thought of getting money for nothing...
but well... seems like the site died... now when i try to access my account at gpromote.com, i get directed to some other site... well, it was fun while it lasted.... too bad...
haha... thanks to all those who went and clicked my link to contribute that 0.5 cents per click :P... haha, not that i have it anymore... but it's the thought that counts...
so i now know who i can depend on to click to save my life :P...

new skin

hey... this is actually a blogspot template skin... but i think it looks kinda nice anyway, although i seriously think it makes this blog look "standard"... on the other hand... actually this is a pretty "standard" blog... so... haha, let's join the "standard" blog club...
well... enjoy the standard look... it'll probably be around for a couple of days, unless i forget to change it b4 i go off diving on wednesday... which would mean it would stick for a week or more...

oh ya... that means no chat box... hmm... shud i twiddle wif the template to insert it... feels abit mafan-lah...

re: sunday school songs

heh... ashley posted an reply to the previous post which i thought would be interesting to reply here instead of the small little box for normal replies...

Ashley:
i get the feel of 'coolness' singing this song while being sent to prison...but...prison??? sailling home?? PRISON??

zhiyong:
haha... my sunday school student... this is where the coolness just begins... if you're in prison and singing this song, you're no longer sailing home to a home on earth, but a Heavenly home :)

yay!! sunday school songs rox :P

sunday school songs

haha... i suddenly feel like singing sunday school songs...
sunday school songs are fun~! and if you actually read the words, they're quite meaningful...
but for now... sunday school songs are fun~! :P

With Christ in the vessel
we can smile at the storm
Smile at the storm
Smile at the storm

With Christ in the vessel
we can smile at the storm
As we go sailing home...homehomehome

Say-sailingsailing-ling, say-sailingsailing-ling home
Say-sailingsailing-ling, say-sailingsailing-ling home
With Christ in the vessel we can smile at the storm
AS WE GO SAILING HOME~!

haha...fun, but meaningful too... with christ in the vessel we can smile at the storm as we go sailing HOME :) this would be a cool song to sing if you like get sent to prison or something :P

inspirational stuff

lately i've read and heard quite some inspirational and thought provoking stuff lately...
juliang's blog makes you think again of God's reality in everyday life, siewlian's new blog has this piece on Jesus' crucifixion, yesterday my dad read out isaiah 1 which is about how Israel keeps on hurting herself by rejecting God... its good to read and think about God outside of quiet time... reminds me of where i actually stand wif God not just on a daily basis, but on an hourly or minute-ly basis...

i've realized that during holidays, it's actually harder for me to focus on God cos' i'm so busy trying to find stuff to do to occupy myself, trying to find pleasure for my ownself...
whereas during exams strangely because i'm so busy, that i have to find time for God, that i find myself actually closer to God, because i'm trying to find pleasure for God...

it's actually a bit frightening that i take God's presence for granted so easily... i wonder sometimes what he thinks of me... losing sight of the path not because the going get's tough, but because the going got easy... heh, so maybe satan's greatest weapon isn't to force me off the path to heaven, but to lure me away...

gpromote

heh... okay, let me mention first off that i'm not an advocator of internet spam or internet cash making sites... in fact, i detest them... it just happens that i'm free, and jenern introduced me to this site which supposedly let's you make money just by clicking on them sites... well, i don't know how true it is... but well.... it's free and i'm free, so with time to spare i thought why not...
so well, to share the fun...and the cash:P, click here... and join... so that YOU... can help ME... make some money out of thin air...
with my fingers crossed i promise to share "some" of the money (if it does materialize) with you, with you DO click... come-lah... click and join... then you will be known as my downline :) and anyway... the ppl who read this blog are pretty free ppl rite? haha....

back....

i'm back....after a whole week away....
haha... travelling round crashing in on ppl's houses all over rox man...
in muar stayed over in jenern's house(managed to play 1 dotA game online:P)
in seremban stayed in callista's house... woah, her house is like.. major big... as big as stephen's house... it's like... big enuff to have a pond in the house... then got like 3 or 4 guest rooms, maid get one room, each family member got one room... and the rooms are so big they make the beds look small.. and those are queen and king size beds...

i'm fat now i tell u... i've never eaten so much over such a long period...
my pants can barely fit me... i'm so going to cut down on food...

muar

haha... i'm posting from muar :)....
muar is.... heh, empty would be saying it nicely...
we went round muar yesterday, and actually besides doing nothing, there's nothing to do...
it's kinda like travelling for 2 and a half hours to go to sri petaling... lol..
it's fun though... cos' i'm on holiday...

holiday

haha... it's 7:05 in the morning... and just WHAT am i doing up so early at this unearthly hour...
heh, it's been quite a while... but i'm going for holiday :)... bus leaves at 830... so going to the lrt station at 715.... crazy-ah... but for the sake of holiday... even waking up at 530 would be ok...
heh, will be in muar later today... then a couple of days later seremban, then sitiawan, then ipoh... yeah... actually going round the girls houses eating and playing-lah.... hopefully it'll be fun xD... but yeah, holidays ARE fun... bye guys.... enjoy your drudgery of life :P...

new sound system

woah... i just installed a new sound system into my computer... and woah...
wow... huiyoh... walauweh...
it's so good it's giving me goosebumps...
and to think that's its actually not a new sound system:P...
i actually took and ancient mini compo from my room, connected two philips speakers which i used to use for the tv, and plugged it into my comp... and woah...
suddenly i've got altec lansing quality sound coming out...
i rox man...
haha, this is so majorly cool... for the first time i can hear the bass for all my mp3s... and the sound's as clear as glass...
woah... this rox man...
i should have done this wayyyy earlier...
ironically, i know i'll start taking this for granted within a couple of days...
haha... but for now... woah, i'm gonna run thru all my mp3s...
this rox man...
haha, i wonder what starcraft sounds like now...
haha, i'm still in awe that i can hear the bass from my comp...
this is already one of the better days of my hols.. :P

achievements

yay... i'm proud to say that today i woke up early :)... 7 o'clock sommor-ah...
wah... went jogging just now and came back after an hour... wah... so proud...
heh, well... so much for that... now the rest of the day is gonna be spent playing computer and umm... finding stuff to do...

on another note... yesterday was an almost perfect sunday...
the skies were blue, the birds were singing... i woke up early (again)...
didn't have sunday school lesson to prepare... had great worship in church... didn't fall asleep during sermon... scored a couple of goals during futsal... heh.. yeah, great day yesterday...

strange isn't it how dependent our happiness is on stuff we can't control...

haih... so bored... nothing to do or look forward to....

chinese new year and obligations

hi, happy chinese new year to all :)...
haha, you know that a webpage is dying when new year greetings start getting short and posting begins to feel like an obligation :P
but, for now... HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!! :)

all for love

All for love

All for love a Father gave
For only love could make a way
All for love heavens cried
For love was crucfied

Oh how many times have I broken Your heart
But still You forgive
If only I ask
And how many times have You heard me pray
Draw near to me

Everything I need is You
My beginning, my forever
Everything I need is You

Let me sing all for love
I will join the angel song
Ever holy is the Lord
King of Glory
King of all

All for a love a Saviour prayed
Abba Father have Your way
Though they know not what they do
Let the Cross draw man to You

Shout unto God

The enemy has been defeated
And death couldn't hold You down
We're gonna lift our voice in victory
We're gonna make Your praises loud

Shout unto God with a voice of triumph
Shout unto God with a voice of praise
Shout unto God with a voice of triumph
We lift Your name up
We lift Your name up

was just listening to this... normally wouldn't have posted this post, but then again... i've really nothing much to do and i was listening to this...
on the other hand i remember a time when i used to post about "spiritual" stuff... heh, can't remember the last time i did... i think i'm in a decline spiritually though i'm on holiday... or maybe it IS because i'm on holiday... hmm... is it still all for love?

not much ado about nothing

hmm... i kinda expecting it would end up like this..
but here i am... nth much to do... nth much i wanna do...
hmm... wat to do.. wat to do...
oh well... the boredom is only for a while... hopefully-lah...
bored...

addicted to mediocrity

i feel strongly that malaysians are addicted to mediocrity...
of course... this comment is coming after i've just watched the malaysian doubles pair lose AGAIN in the finals of some badminton final...
heh... and i heard the malaysian commentator say something like, at least we got to the finals... okay, so maybe he didn't say something like that... but he certainly implied it everytime we started losing...
or maybe it's just the sucky commentary... my mum is convinced that malaysia will start winning stuff if only the commentary would improve...

my wrong

hmm...this week has been really fun... not to mention expensive, but that's for another post...
i've been spending the whole week enjoying myself:)... it's fun, but this morning when i woke up i realized that i'd forgotten tons of stuff that i had to do...
yibing reminded me that there was no devotion prepared for this saturday,
sunday school lesson is still half baked... i suddenly remembered that i was supposed to call my youth class for TU... okay, so it wasn't suddenly remembered... i had been reminded of it the entire week, but kept on procrastinating... i suppose that's the story of this entire week...
have kept on pushing on stuff i could do to the future so i could enjoy the present...

hmm... my fault...

insults

yesterday i was kinda out the whole day...
lunch with the girls and then dotA and dinner with the guys...heh, maybe it's just me... but i noticed that when i hanging out with guys... conversation almost inevitably swerves towards someone getting insulted or to put it nicely... criticized...yeah, maybe it's all as a joke... but, wonder why guys get so much "kick" out of making fun of someone not as good as they are... whether be it in speech, dressing, dotA or any abilities whatsoever... hmm... not that girls don't make fun of other girls or guys... but... conversations tend to put ppl down less... hmm... or maybe its just me:P

free

haha... it's so cool to be able to wake up in the morning and have.... NOTHING to do :P
