A time of breakthrough!!!

---
When I see myself in this stretched season, it is for the best reason.
In my limitation, He shall be my expansion.
When I'm stretched, His outstretched hands shall save me such a wretch.
Life can be unfair, but with God I can bear.
When nothing seems to be lucrative, but that's where He makes me to be positive and creative.
Yes!!! I give my best, and He shall take care of the rest,
In this time of breakdown, it's the right time where I'm gonna breakthrough!!!

Lesson for the day

-Lesson for the day-

Men are project-based whereas women are feeling-based.

Men tries to find solution in every single problem. Well it's a good thing but also a bad thing. It's bad towards girls. Guys, never try to give solution when a girl is sharing out her problem. Just simply listen to her. They don't want you to solve their problems but they just need someone to listen to them. They can solve the problem all by themselves, they can seem weak but sometimes they can be stronger than us. Offer your help only if they are asking you to. Women are more feeling-based. They need to feel that you care for them and that you're there for them in times of need. They expect words of encourage to know that they can face these problems by themselves.

It's a very short thing but it's very useful, don't take it for granted guys out there!

UCSI Block A Cafeteria

I am now in Uni blogging. The internet here is very super duper slow and even facebook and ebuddy can't be opened. Well this is how it is now! Today I want to blog about my uni life. I haven't blog about it for quite a while I think. Anyway, let's start now!

Today I went to Uni and I went for lunch in block A Cafeteria. To tell you the truth, I haven't eating there for the past 1 year although that I walk by there everyday. The reason that I haven't been eating there because last time there used to be an aunty who was selling a mixture of economical rice (chak fan), and some western food such as spagetti, macaroni, well some other pastas basically. That's why her corner to sell the food is called Western Delights. UCSI students should know that. So yeah last time I used to eat there everyday because the aunty used to give me discounts and some extra dishes. I'll eat a lot and mostly around RM4-5. Whenever I eat there, my friends would be jealous of me because they take the same thing but it's more expensive for them and they don't get any extras. After some time, the aunty started to lose customers so, she charged me more expensive for a very little food only. :( That was quite sad and I stopped eating there ever since. Guess what happened after some time? She got bankrupt and closed her stall. Awww.... Well it's not my fault if she started to charge me more expensive. She was a bit rascist towards the Nigerian students where she charged them RM8+. So pity of them. Well if she wanted to be successful in her business, she had to be nice to other students also, not to be choosy. Now you can see what happen when someone is choosy. So Don't BE CHOOSY!!! Be equal towards everyone!

After some more time... the stall reopens again and sold the same thing but taken over by the stall next door who were selling drinks only. To be honest the food is good there, but it's too expensive to eat there. Today I went there and I don't know what was the reason. I bought water as water finished in my house and I sat down and drank. Suddenly I was hungry and I went to buy the food at that stall. So knowing that it'll be expensive, I didn't take much, I ate very little and it costed me RM4.50! =/ So expensive!!! If I eat chak fan, I take the same amount that I took today and it'll cost me around RM3 something. Can you believe that??? Ok some of you might think that I'm very stingy but wouldn't you eat something nice and make you full for a cheap price or you prefer to eat something nice and expensive and won't make you full at all? Must buy value for money!! (that's the expression my mum always uses!)

The other thing that I've noticed about the block A Cafeteria, during lunch time I used to see my friends around. But this time, I've seen none of my friends around, not even a single one! So you see, it's not only me who feels like that. My friends also feel that the cafeteria has been selling their food so expensive.

Conclusion, I won't eat there anymore. Not only because it's expensive, but from what I ate today, it was not nice at all! There was a long hair in my food!!! Yerrr....

AWESOMEness!!!

These 2 days, I had awesome days!!!

Yesterday I was supposed to meet John, my friend from Mauritius, in KL. But I couldn't reach him and he couldn't reach me. So I didn't get to meet him. Then Zoey called me and asked me if I wanna go for movie. So I went for movie and watched 7 Pounds with her together with Jet, Kricia and Li Hui. Basically yesterday we started a conversation on AWESOMEness. As a result, we are known as the AWESOMEness gang! hahaha! Indeed everything went awesome when I started to hang out with them. It was great. I learned a new expression called AWESOMEness. There's no such word in the dictionary but according to Jet's definition, it's the most awesome thing ever, it's greater than the word awesome in itself. I don't know how but it's just like that! :P hehe... Anyway we watched an awesome movie where at first I didn't get it at all... but have to watch until the very end then I understood the awesomeness of the movie! :D

Last night I received a phone call from John. He could finally reached me and I was so impatient upon his call. Anyway, so we planned to meet up today and so we did. I went to meet him up at Times Square and we had Starbucks!!! Wow it was awesome!!! The last time I had starbucks was in Taiwan at Taipei 101. Wow I can still remember that! My memory is still good! hahaha! So yeah I had my usual Jaya Chip Ice blended and it tasted so good and so long that I haven't had it! Awesome taste! Then afterwards we went to KLCC petronas twin towers. John got the tickets to go up there. Wow!!! AWESOMEness!!! After looking at the view from top there, we went to Pasar Seni, where we went to the Central Market. Before heading to the central market, we both didn't had our lunch and it was 4 something. So we went to a chinese stall nearby in Pasar Seni and guess what we ate? CHAR KUEY TEOW!!!! It was an awesome one! He loved it so much. Not only it was cheap but it was the nicest thing that he has ever eaten for that price. Then he kept saying that KL is very good place to eat. Everywhere he walks, can find a place to eat. The awesome thing I did when I ordered the Char Kuey Teow, I spoke Chinese to the uncle!!! Isn't it awesome??? LOL! As soon as we finished, we headed to the Central Market. Bought some souvenirs there and some indoor games such as brain teaser games. :P He loves those games a lot! Afterwards we went to eat at OldTown Coffee shop and he has never eaten Kaya before. For him Kaya is a singer like Bob Marley. We used to have a Mauritian famous reggee/sega singer called Kaya. But he was assasinated a few years ago. Then he was saying, "huh Kaya is still alive? I thought he died very long time ago!" Then I had to tell him that Kaya is something like peanut butter. hehe... Oh before the OldTown, I brought him to fish SPA! hahaha!!! It was fun to see him laughing at it once he put his feet inside the basin! hahaha! It was awesome, that's what he said! :)

Well that's how the malaysianized Robin showed this Mauritian friend around in KL. And oh... I just bought my TouchNGo card!!! Finally I got it! :D I had to buy it before I get criticized by my friend to rush coz the train is here already. Last time we missed the train because of me, I didn't have the TouchNGo card. Well that's another story, I'll keep it for next time. It's not so awesome story to share anyway. I just wanted to share how awesome was these 2 days! So have I reached the AWESOMEness yet???

I want something new in my blog!!!

Alright! I'm back to blogging again... but I'm not sure for how long... coz I'm planning to shift blog coz I really need to change my blog's layout... I think that it's too dull. I'm the type of person who can't always look at the same plain color all the time. I like something new and creative. Something fresh that will come out and when people look at it, they will say WOW!!! Well the feeling of making something new it's since I started to do my cell group bulletin. Ok if you don't know what is a bulletin, it's basically a sheet of paper where all the info about what is happening in our church and our cell group. We also have the songs and the sermon outline where u just fill in the blanks.

I've been designing my cell group bulletin for a year now and I've changed a lot in my skill of doing those. I always thought that I'm not a creative person because I'm not very good in arts as in drawing. I grew up with people knowing arts in terms of drawing and painting but I was a zero in that. The thing that made think that I was just a dummy guy, made me be a dummy guy! Pat Mesiti said this, "If you want to change things in your life, you got to change the way you think! Change your mindset!" From that day onwards, my life has changed. I became a person who strive for a better things. More of creativity in my life, thinking out of the box all the time and make people happy all around me. That's what creativity is all about. Since I've joined City Harvest Church, my life has changed tremediously! I was very naive to think that I can't be creative. But creativity is not only about drawing. It can be anything, as far as you change the way you used to think and think out of the box and make things happen. To be creative comes from the word create. So it's to create something new! Pastor Kong challenged us during the last Emerge 08, to be creative because God is a creative God. How to know that? Look in the first book of the Bible and the first verse itself, it says, "In the beginning, God CREATED the heavens and the earth!" In the very beginning of our existence, God created, that proves that He is a creative God and so we should do so as well. That word really striked me and from that time, my life was never the same again. I always strive to be more creative and skillful.

I AM BORN TO BE A CREATIVE PERSON! :)
