最近这些日子应该是我准备踏入人生另一个阶段的时候。我,期待着大学生活。一个人人都说是毕生难忘的大学生活。或许这是真的吧,鲁莽叛逆的青少年期慢慢进入成熟稳重的成人期。

很多时候,我都会想象我未来的生活,想象我的大学生活,到底会是什么样子的。中五毕业后,我还是飘浮着。待在新加坡一段日子后有返回马来西亚就读A水准。岁月不留人,我快就要二十岁了。据说,此时正是人生的高潮,正是我们为自己未来打拼的时候。

前些日子,我对于我的未来还是一片迷茫,完全看不到一个清楚的画面。不是没有付出,只是追求着的目标似乎越追,它就显得越遥远。 三个月里,的确发生了很多事情。。。

~贻宽,也慢慢康复,准备向他的未来前进。也获得了A水准的奖学金。
~我已不再玩Cabal了。
~我也多多少少学会了一些印度的语言,不算是白白度过了这一些日子。
~弟弟拿到SPM成绩,也就读AIMST大学了。
~被几所大学拒绝了我的Application。
~被港大录取了。
~认识的几位老师朋友,不幸去世了。


还有很多很多琐琐碎碎的事情。。。。

2012年四月了,离开了中学生涯两年多的我,很快的就要离开双溪大年,离开一个跟我一起长大的小镇。这一次的离别,将会是长达五年六年。

闭上眼睛,想象六年后。。。

毕业了,成为一名医生,或者是牙医。

弟弟们,长大;父母婆婆,变老。

时不时都会收到朋友们寄来的结婚请帖,红鸡蛋。

踏入工作,踏入社会。


上一个星期日,教堂的牧师说,

“人们说梦寐以求的事物,现实生活中往往都不会得到。”

六年后,我的人生到底会是什么样子的呢?
人生充满着抉择,而所做的抉择,就是决定一个人人生的终点。同一个目的地,将会有不一样的去路,有漫长的,有精彩的。

我已锁定的我的目标,我的方向。锁定了目标,我会全力以赴迈向那一个方向前进。当视线被云雾遮挡了,我都会一直提醒自己,困难挫折只是短暂的。挫折跟云雾一样,被风一吹什么都没有了。而最后的目标,最终的目的地才是最重要的。

为了迈向那一个方向,就会是我的指南针。。。

I've been rotting at home, doing nothing besides reading and reading. And guess what I finished another book, entitled " When God Doesn't Make Sense"
It was quite interesting and addictive.
This is a really good question to ask, "Does God really make sense?"
I have a friend that told me that religious belief is merely a kind of psychological effect that somewhat bring calmness and assurance to the mind. Is it true?
Is religion real? Or is it just another successful propaganda which lasted for centuries?

And if God really does exist, why are there countless catastrophes, disasters and wars happening throughout the globe?
Why are there sickness, death, divorce, suffering?
Does religion make sense when you're looking from this perspective?
Why do good people suffer, while the evil one prevail and live long?

It's really quite contradicting to the promises of God and the Scriptures, isn't it?
Proverbs 28 : 25 says, He who trust in the Lord will prosper. But many are suffering, many are dying, and there are many more who are in between.

Is it time for us to question God, and come to Him with all sorts of questions, demanding complete and reasonable explanations from Him? Many have done so, many have been blaming God, questioning Him when something is their lives started to go out of control.

I've seen many injustice in this world,  or should I say the world around me.

A good friend of mine. Filial, hardworking, health-concious, diligent, selfless, and handsome of course. But out of nowhere, and without any satisfying explanations from any specialist, life took a slightly wrong turn, and he had kidney failure. And yeah, both kidneys. Life isn't fair, right?
"Why me?", is one of the first few thoughts that came into his mind. "It is not Fair!". We do realize that this fallen world is full of injustice, and yet we still get disappointed with God whenever adversity strikes.

My childhood pastor, Pastor Rueben, was a good man. A decent man. He brought me to Christ by praying the sinner's prayer. I was quite mischievous at that age and yet he did not complain a bit about me. And yeah, all of sudden, the Hepatitis disease that he had all the while became acute liver cancer. And at that time, all he had was at most 6 months to live. And of course, he is with the Lord now, leaving behind his wife and a son. But the point is, why him? Why a decent man who serves the Lord with all his heart, with all his soul?

Can anyone come out with a good explanation?

I'm pretty sure that as Christians, we all knew that life as a Christian are full of persecutions. Christians are killed, beheaded, stoned to death or tortured in some of the places around the world, even when human race are stepping into the thirteenth year of the 21st century.

But when we started to get involved in the big picture, playing the roles as Christian soldiers, can we still hold on to our faith? Can we still be "Still, and acknowledge that He is God", that He is in control no matter in what circumstances? Even when we're in the most adverse situation, we are ought to know that He will never put us in a situation where we can't handle. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. ~1 Corinthians 10 : 13 .


Talking about faith and trust.
This is another interesting illustration from the book,
"Imagine yourself near the beautiful and dangerous Niagara Falls on the border between Canada and upstate of New York. Suppose a circus performer has strung a rope across the falls with the intention of pushing a wheelbarrow to the other side. If he losses his balance, he will surely drown or be crushed in the churning waters below. Just before stepping on the rope, the stunt man turns to you and says, " Do you think I can accomplish this feat?"
You reply that his reputation has preceded him and that you fully believe he has the ability to walk the tightrope. In the other words,  you have faith that he will succeed.
But then he says, "If you really believe I can do it, how about getting in the wheelbarrow and crossing to the other side with me?" To accept that invitation would be an example of remarkable trust."

There's another example in Matthew 14, when Jesus walked on water. All of us have faith that our Lord can perform miraculous acts, for instance, walking on water. But how many of us, will have the trust in Him, and get of the boat like Peter did, and walk together with Jesus (Though he doubted the Lord and started to fear a bit, that's when he started sinking.)?

We are all human beings, and when adversity strikes, we start to tremble, and our faith will start to shatter. It depends, of course, someone people of great faith still stand still and wait for the deliverance of  our Lord. Our Father in Heaven always give us the allowance of doubt, as long as we turn back to Him in due time. He even forgive us whenever we blamed Him for not being there for us whenever we needed Him.

There are so many examples in the bible, there are even more examples in the world out there when God seems to be millions of miles away, leaving His people on their own to suffer. But, are there any explanations for all of these? Mortals like us are trying to comprehend the act of our own Creator, the Almighty God, isn't that ridiculous?

I guess it's better for us to let God be God. All we can do it to hold on firm to our faith in Him, trust Him with all we have.


If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up. ~ Daniel 3 : 17 - 18


Fellow B.A.S.I.C, stay strong in Him... (:

» Nothing Is Off-Limits For Prayer
Tuesday, January 10, 2012
~ 3:13 PM ~
I've been spending my holidays reading books, besides attending interviews all around the places. And I came across this very interesting story from Dr Haggai's book, "How To Win Over Worry".

"One day my father was replacing a burned-out bulb in the taillight if our old car. While replacing the lens he noticed he had lost a little screw in the tall grass. He had an urgent appointment that night and not much time to spare. He searched and searched for the little screw, but to no avail.


My younger brother, Tom, then five or six years old, was playing next door with  a friend. Finally Dad called him and his friend over to help find the screw. When Dad told them what he wanted, Tom asked, "Have you prayed about it?"


My father replied, " No, I haven't, Tom."Tom said, "Well let's pray, Daddy."


Tom then prayed the following lines: "Heavenly Father, Daddy has lost the screw that he needs for the car. He can't find it and he needs it badly. Help us to find it. Thank you, Jesus. Amen."


Believe it or not, as soon as Tom finished his prayer, Dad put his hand down in the grass and retrieved the screw. Coincidence? Not at all! It was a distinct answer to prayer."


This little story really struck me, and it caused me to think about it over and over again. I've been praying to God for years, asking for a lot of different things. But sometimes I just assumed that somethings are too small, too insignificant to God, and thus decided not to pray about it.

But this Tom really reminded me that nothing is too big or too small for our almighty Father in heaven. He cares even for the smallest of our needs. If you are anxious about the smallest matter in your life, just pray about this very thing that has been bothering you.

I once had a friend who really commit every single worries and problems she faced to God through prayers. Despite being a new christian, she never fail to open my eyes and teach me what Faith really means.

On the other hand, anything big enough to worry is big enough to pray about.That's what I've been doing. Come to the Lord in prayer, and "cast" whatever things that is burdening me unto Him, and yet still feeling anxious about them. I guess its time to really learn to leave it entirely to Him, through prayers.

It says,
"Pray about everything. Pray, and win over worry."

Finally, my life in KTT has come to an end. Finish my last paper, Biology paper 5 two days ago.

Extremely relieved that everything is over and now I'm back home...

Pre-university education is over, but that signifies a brand new chapter of my life.

A transition period before entering university for my tertiary education.

Approximately six months of free time,

Time to get myself ready for a challenging life as a medical student,

Pursuing my dream in becoming a doctor.

I need to learn to drive, cause my younger brother is way better at driving than me... >.<

Need to get fitter... (:

I'm so gonna miss all of you KTTians, that impacted my life, in so many different ways... Friends that shared my laughter, friends that shared my tears. We've spent countless moments studying together, fooling around in each other's apartments.

Although it finally came to an end, these memories will never fade...

All the best in your future endeavors. Hope that all of you will score straight A's ... (:
