Just want to post this, a really nice song, Here Without You by 3 Doors Down.
I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me, yeah
I think the meaning of the lyrics is about missing your love ones, not too sure, not an expert in interpreting lyrics.
But still an amazing song. I'm not sure what I will do now, but surely God will lead the way.

Life In Singapore 2011
It's been so long since I post something on this blog, been really busy with studies, sports and stuffs. Thinking back the first year, in Ngee Ann Poly, everything seems to pass by so fast, that I realised that I had missed out alot of things, made a lot of right and wrong choices. I can't really say that stay in Biomedical Sciences is a good choice or went into Biomedical Lab Technology is a wrong choice, both gave me different experience, and different exposure of life. If I had stay in BMS, then I will missed out some important lessons, and lead a different kind of life than what I'm having now, though I really want to stay in BMS if I had a second chance, but I feel content with what I have now.
I remembered a friend of mine told me this, we are humans and we will make mistakes whether we like it or not. But there are some mistakes that we can avoid and there are some mistakes that are irreversible.But if really we made such mistakes, take it as a lesson of life, and move on and never ever repeat the mistake again.
When he told me this, I was like, who will ever make such serious mistakes, and soon enough I realized that I made a really big mistake that nearly destroy myself and my future. You won't know until you did it, and the truth is always painful, but that's when we start to grow,mentally and emotionally.
God really help me to get through this entire situation. I may suffered more if I didn't listen to God, I may not even finish my studies. No matter how many times I fail, God will always be there to lift me up again. Live by faith and not by sight. God will always be with us.

Because You Loved Me
This song reminds me of you, you were my strength when I was weak, you were my voices when I couldn't speak, you were my eyes when I couldn't see, you were the one that held me up and never let me fall, you gave me faith because you believed, I'm everything I am now, because you loved me.

Club
I had a great holiday back in Malaysia, and I'm glad that my family is still doing well. My parents looked more energetic than before, my brother learnt tattooing, kinda cool when I looked at his tattooes, he's cool anyway. Visited my sister back in KL and looks like her slimming plan works well, nephews were so active that I can't handle them at all, after that went back to my hometown for another couple of weeks and took a flight back to Singapore.
I was dead tired after landing, head back to my apartment straight away and hit the sack. Then I went out to meet my friend, after we had dinner we went to drink. It's been like almost half a year since I drink, was really busy back then, and now I finally got time to go for a drink. The club was as crowded as ever. We hop around the clubs and met this weird guy starting to talk to us and I met someone from my hometown too, suprising. Well we had fun that night, at least I get to have fun for awhile cause I'm looking for a job now, hope I'll get one soon. Well everything starts from scratch, and since I'm a fresh graduate, wasn't really expecting any high salary, as long as can cover my expenses that's enough, I think. Wondering how long can I last if I ever get a job... well anyways God has His plans, I believe I'll get one that really suits me.

NAPFA and Blood Donation
I had Napfa test on last Thursday, was very nervous and excited. I managed to complete the 5 stations, pull-up, sit-up, standing board jump, shuttle run, sit-and-reach, and managed to get 23 points for gold. But the last station, which I hated the most, 2.4km running. I'm not a regular runner, and I didn't train much for it. So I probably won't be able to finish within 11mins, which is grade C to achieve gold. But anyway, my aim is to get Napfa jacket, which looks nice to me, and I finished 2.4 km within 12mins, grade D which the overall grade is silver. I actually didn't train much for Napfa, especially standing board jump and 2.4km running, but I know that there's certain someone will help me through.
I was thrown with alot of thoughts during my 2.4km running, and I had a cramp during the last lap. There are thoughts that asked me to give up, but there are thoughts that encouraged me to press on and move forward. The thoughts the devil gave me are filled with fear, but when the thoughts of God came into my mind, they're peaceful, and He asked me to endure, just a little longer, then I will get my reward. So, instead of stopping down, I sprinted and crossed the finishing line. After that, I fall on the ground, and gasping for air, but I know that I had achieved my goal, even though I never get a gold and get silver instead, but that doesn't matter, because all I want is just that jacket.
After Napfa, I went to donate blood, which I promised myself that I will do it after Napfa. I had this newbie nurse to do for me, I noticed that she was very nervous, because her was hand shivering when she was holding the needle. But I tried to calm her down, and keep smiling. She inserted the needle into my arm, and I guessed she missed the vein, and pierced my muscle. It was painful at first, but after that it felt like my arm was burning. She was panic, and luckily the head nurse was there, she adjusted the needle and hit the vein, then my blood started to flow out into the bag.
Well, of course that was very painful, even now I still can feel the stinging pain when I pressed my bicep. But the most important thing is, she learnt something from it. Nobody is perfect, everyone starts from scratch, so there is no point to blame her for poor techniques or anything. I just hope that she is able to improve after that :D
God bless

16 Jan 2011 Masks
I woke up late this morning, but still able to reach the church before the pastor starts the sermon. I brought a friend with me to the church, and he likes the church. I'm very glad about it, because he is finally going 'home', going back to God. Today's sermon was about hypocrisy, and as the pastor was explaining what is hypocrisy, he mentioned that christian hypocrisy was the main reason why there's atheism. I was shocked at first, but when I think about it, its quite true, because when we declared ourselves as christians, our actions and speeches reflected God, that's the reason why Jesus dislike hypocrites so much, the Pharisees. Indeed, the Pharisees always talk about being clean and pure, and urge the public to be clean and pure while they themselves are unable to practice what they preach.
In Luke 11:37-52, it talks about what is hypocrisy, and the first to be mentioned is Outward Purity. It is not what you eat makes you unclean but it is what you say that makes you unclean. If you only cares about outward purity, but inside you are full of filth, lust, greed, hatred, do you still consider yourself as clean? What makes a man clean is what is inside him.
Meticulous Giving, sometimes we are so particular about how much we give, what we give, and forget about the meaning behind it. in Luke 11, we give not because of praise, we give because of our love and faith to God. Giving is important but we do not force others to give while we are unable to give, if we do so we are hypocrites.
Self Importance, in Luke 11:43,"Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and greetings in the market places." As we know that Pharisees were known to have high social status in the society, and they enjoyed themselves being praised, being greeted, being well treated, by the society, while they are not helping the society. "For whoever exalts himself will be humbled and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." Matthew 23:12 Yes, we maybe rich, we maybe clever, we maybe some big shots in the society, but we have to be humble, and not to condemn others, but to spur others up, and help others to achieve what we are able to achieve, not just make fun of them, and feel proud of yourself.
Religious Piety, in v46, the Pharisees were angry at Jesus because of what he said to them, and they thought that Jesus was insulting them, because they think that what they're doing, being hypocrites is correct, they are the experts of Law, but they're not allow to follow the Law and expect the people to follow them, which giving them a heaven burden. Like I mentioned above, do not expect others to do the same if you yourself are unable to do it, and even if you're able to do it, be humble, and help others to fulfill it too.
Hypocrites, to tell the truth, I will be hypocritical sometime, I have to remind myself not to be a hypocrite.

Solomon Kane
I watched Solomon Kane last night, interesting movie, and I learnt something from the movie. Well let me briefly explains what this movie is about.
Solomon Kane, a brutal and cruel, blood lusting and fill with greed, that had conquered a lot of cities, and was the son of a feudal lord. He kills without feeling remorse, and to him, he felt that battlefield is home. In a battle in North Africa, he slaughtered all the pagans, and raided the throne room. But when he was enjoying his victory, his companions were killed by demons, and a devil messenger appeared, and wanted to claim his soul, because his father sold his soul to the devil in exchange with his brother's soul. He escaped from the messenger that was about to behead him, and he found sanctuary in a church.
But after a year, the pastor wanted him to leave the place, to search for his own purposes, of what God wants him to do, or what God wants him to learn. He said this:" these symbols, this church, these prayers keep me from the devil's nightmare, this place is a sanctuary to me."
God protects you not only in the church, God protects you wherever you go, no matter where. When he was crucified on the cross by the possessed, his nail wounds were recovered without a trace of scars, because when he was in agony and screamed for God's mercy, and God helped him. Even when he's in the battle, he wasn't really wounded despite being surrounded by a large number of possessed.
When he was in despair, God showed him hope, when he was on the cross, he lost all hope of saving the girl that will redeem himself. But at that moment, that girl appeared in the cart when the possessed transporting her to the castle. When you're in despair, God will give you hope. And also, he had killed so many, but God only asked him to save one girl, to redeem himself. God is a Just and merciful God, He will punish you, and He will forgive you when you learn your lesson.
Solomon Kane doesn't have any faith in God, but through his journey, he learnt to be faithful, he learnt to be a peaceful man, he learnt to be not to condemn people, and he always put God's work at first, that is save that girl. Even though the enemy is strong, but he stands in faith, and with God's strength, he overcomes the enemy, and gained victory.
