Intelligent Love

So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover's life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God. (Phil1:9-11, MSG)

Life Book

Two days ago I woke up in the morning and the first thought that I had, I've posted it on FB. I've posted it and just ONE DAY only, I had 12 Likes, which never happened to me before. I believe that it's quite a good thing also. So I just want to share with you what I've posted on FB that day. 

"You cannot tear out the pages of your past, you can only turn the pages over and write a new one. Our past may be a sad one but it reminds us how naive we were and how mature we are now. It also reminds us how good it was, better than what it is now. The new pages to write are the future of hope. Just hold on the pen and keep writing."

I had this thought because I was just reminded about my past. I believe that a lot of us had some bad past which we wouldn't want to turn back. A lot of us would want to erase it. Well this is what I tried to do when I first stepped on the land of Malaysia. Before I left Mauritius 4 years ago, I told myself that it was time to live a new life. By telling myself this, I thought that I would have freedom and would eventually forget about my past. As the time goes by, I realized that I can still remember of my past. It doesn't torment me, but it is just remembered. From that time, I came to my senses that our past can't be erased. 

Our life is like a book. Ever since we were born, we tried to write our life, but it's quite vague. Because as a small kid, we don't even know how to write yet. But as we grow up, we learn how to write. We eventually write down everything in our mind. Therefore here comes the memory. Our memory is the organism that has the ability to store, retain and recall information such as events, pictures, symbols, etc. Some memories are thoughts mixed with feelings, which make us to remember them. In my past, I had a feeling that people around me who didn't appreciate me much for who I am. 

Before I came to Malaysia, I had my farewell done at my house and 60 people were invited that day, which consisted of relatives and friends. I served drinks and some snacks to my guests. It's quite sad to say that some of my friends didn't even greet my parents when they came to my house, which made my mom upset. Most of the time, my friends were just mingling around and the attention was not on me, when I was sitting with them. They were just among themselves, talking among themselves and I didn't even exist. It's quite sad to say that they enjoyed free food from my mom who cooked for the whole day and she was still cooking while the guests came. Well moms are really amazing! They can do everything to make us happy! Well she didn't tell me that she was upset till the end of the farewell party and that we had to clean up. It's crazy how it is after it has ended. We had to do a lot of cleaning up, especially those spilled drinks. I was quite upset also with some if my friends because they didn't even have a respect for my parents. They didn't even greet them nor say thank you for the food. Imagine that your friends go to your house for your party and never greet your parents and never say thank you, wouldn't you think that it's rude??? From that time I knew who were my real friends.

After I left Mauritius for Malaysia, I enjoyed my life here and I would always keep in touch with my friends back home. I would always email and tell them how am I doing. For your info, I wrote personal emails, meaning I wrote to them individually. It's quite sad to say that some replied me a month after where I have already shared my feelings and experience here in Malaysia. So to reply them was a bit outdated because of the fast pace life here. With time, I started to get busier. That's where I started blogging. I blogged about everything that is happening in my life in KL. I've called it The Adventures of Robin in M'sia (My previous blog). Every week I would blog, I would email them at the same time. But I've realized that nobody replied me, and nobody even read my blog posts. I was writing in vain. It's kind of frustrating at times when you email your friends about yourself and you get no reply at all, especially to those closer friends. 

You may wonder why am I blogging about life is a book, then I talk about the past and now I'm talking about friends. Well let me tell you that all these things are related. Well the more friends you have, the more you feel loved and have a sense of insurance. Having very little friends and just being a loner isn't very good for health. Friends make you laugh, friends share good moment and support you in your tough and sad moment. A loner lives life on his/her own without having people around him. Maybe he/she doesn't want to be disturbed. Having lots of friends is not having lots of friends on Facebook! Friends in real life are there for you! It's not those people who just say Hi and Bye to you. Friends are those who are there in good times and bad times, always by your side to always put a smile on our face. Friends are the most essential thing in one's life apart from parents! They always there to listen and support. Friends are the M&Ms of our life. They make your life colorful when it is just black and white. 

Today I must say that I live a good life. Despite of the past hurts, the wrong relationships, the failures of the past, well all that we can do is to move on with life. That's what I did. I'm living a very good life now, having lots of good friends around, having a quite average university and the most happening church in Malaysia. I have no regrets of my past. Past has passed. The present is where we want to live for our future. Life might be tough at time. It doesn't bring out good things all the time but life shapes us to be a better person. We may have a very bad and hurtful past, but now life goes on. Life goes according to what we are going to write in our Life Book.

Keep writing! :)

3 miracles in 3 days!!!

Here I am back to KL after a very long and tiring trip but all AWESOME!!! I will post about it in my next post. Today I want to share about something great beside back to classes. Well I have to post about that also anyway. hehehe... Ok back to the main topic, 3 miracles in 3 days!!!

DAY 1

Monday, the first day I went back to school after 2 months of holidays, my wardrobe was locked for many days. So when I came back, I had to open it. Once I put the key in, the lock broke!!! I tried to open it so many times but in vain. Then I got an idea. Since my wardrobe was not completely screwed, so I seperated it into half so that I can open the lock from inside. But unfortunately I couldn't find my screwdriver. Then I realised that I borrowed to Linet last time. So I had to ask somebody else who stays nearby. So I asked Caleb instead. As I got the screwdriver, I had to screw the lock out from inside. As I did it, it didn't come out. I don't know why it didn't come out. I tried all my best but in vain. :( Now read this properly! I prayed and made a simple prayer, "God, help me to open this wardrobe's lock in Jesus' Name!" Then I pushed the lock inside, pushed again and I heard a 'click' sound! I pushed it again and it came out!!! Wow!!! PRAISE GOD!!! :D

DAY 2

During the whole day I was doing well. Good weather and I eat properly. That morning I even did my big business in the WC and I could digest all well. That afternoon as I came back from school, I don't know what happened that I had a stomach ache and I got diarrhea within seconds. Okay I know it's disgusting but keep reading first. My stomach was so pain and I was suffering terribly. Then I prayed, "God, help me, take away this pain from me!" Few seconds later, the pain was gone, totally gone!!! Can you believe that? I had no more pain! PRAISE GOD!!! :D

DAY 3

Today, I went to Giant to buy some stuffs for breakfast. Then I saw the Corn Flakes and I wanted to buy. But the problem is that on one shelf it's RM9.36 and on another shelf it's RM8.99. How can it be? Usually if my mum was there, she'll complain and everything. Well I got confused myself, should I buy or not buy? I checked at the price machine and it was RM9.36. Hmm... how can it be? They said got BIG DISCOUNT there. I was still walking by and taking other stuffs and I don't know how but I walked nearby the cashier where there's the manager counter. So I walk by that counter and said to the guy there, "How much is this?" Then he checked and said that it was RM9.36. Weird right? Then I told him that there it's written RM8.99. So he went and check and I went together with him to show him. Then he told me, "Take the price tag and show to the cashier, I give you discount!" Wow!!! Praise GOD!!! :D Then I got the discount with any problem! AWESOME!!!

Well guys and girls out there, God does listen to prayers. I really praise God for 3 consecutive days there was a miracle in my life after I prayed. Well for the manager counter encounter, I really didn't expect it. I didn't even know this was even there. But I believe God led me to walk there! :) I've learned a great thing today, although I'm faithful in praising God in those small things, God will continue to be faithful in the greater things that is yet to come! All glory to GOD! :)

Yes!!! I'm Single!!!

Recently I've updated my facebook profile. Well I don't usually update my profile. Actually I haven't fully update all my profile. So I decided to change my profile picture because some people are being jealous of seeing me eating ice cream every time they come to my profile.

This is something very unusual that had ever happened to me. Updating profile is very simple and easy. I've put my relationship status as Single. Little did I know that after few mins, a lot of comments already popped up!!! Here it goes.... (it's quite small I hope you can read)

Started with Viry with her funny comment!!!

Yeah and here comes Hazel, my choir leader, promoting the Choir Ministry through my singleness!! hahaha!!!



Yeah my facebook has indeed become a chat room for everyone to comment.



And Hazel keeps bullying me. She wants to put me into trouble! haha!! In the end I promoted her also! haha!!!



Here comes Jessie also! Haya! Why Jessie need to come and give such comments about me looking for pretty girls again. After that Hazel chatted with me on msn, "So Robin, what is this that you're looking for pretty girls AGAIN??? Faster Repent!!!" Haha!!!



This guy, his name is Kevin Rimas. A very famous guy who like to bully people in every single occassion. He was so happy for me that he started to promote me!!! Hahaha!!! This is very funny!!!



Here it continues with new people... very kepo these ppl! hahaha!!!



Wow!!! Still got more to go man!!!



I still wonder why Hazel still commenting here!!! haha!!! Viry gave up already!!



Some people thinks that all those people comment has no life, so they ask them to get a life somewhere!!! hahaha!!! Then Lowen is confirming that i'm a hot product!!!



That's all!!! :)
But I think still got more to come, every day I'm having more and more comments just because I'm single. Can you believe it?

By the way for just 1 status I got 55 COMMENTS!!!

This is very interesting to know that there's a lot of kepo people on Facebook!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Mamma Mia & Carl's Jr

This week, Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd were two days I had for public holiday here in Malaysia. It's called Hari Raya! It's the Muslims Festival, some sort of new year after their one month of fasting. Well I admire those muslims who really fast for one whole month. :)

As the title says it all, Mamma Mia is the movie that I've watched recently. Not only that, I've watched it 2 times in the space of one week. Wow!!! Although that I've watched it twice, I laughed again and enjoyed the movie though. Usually when I watch a movie, I won't go and watch again, but this one, it's a MUST-WATCH-MOVIE!!!

Monday is the first day of the week and I went to watch with Hazel with the company of Crystal and Andrew. I went to meet Hazel and her gang in Midvalley at around 8PM. I had my dinner with the gang and soon Crystal and Andrew came along. After fulfilling my stomach's need, we rushed for the movie. All the trailers had already started and we had to walk in the dark to find our seats. Seats found! So we watched and laughed like crazy at this movie. After the movie ended, I was so blessed to have Andrew to drive me home and for Hazel to bless me with the movie ticket. I was really blessed.

Wednesday is another day where it was public holiday and Ray called me to get ready to go to Midvalley. At first I thought that he just wanted to buy something there but he wanted to watch movie with Edi. On the other hand, Edi told me that he was going "dating" so he cannot go out with me, but I ended up with him anyway. Well I didn't want to disturb him in his "date", so Ray and I bought another ticket to watch Mamma Mia, since other movie is too late to watch. Then we went in another movie hall whereas Edi and *ahem* went to another movie hall. Since Ray and I haven't taken our breakfast nor our lunch, at 2PM we decided to go and eat the most delicious and the best huge burger that we can ever see in town! Well you have guess it right! It's Carl's Jr Burger!!!

This is the only burger and French fries that you will not be deceived by the size they put in the newspapers or magazines or ads. I think the burger is even bigger than the ads itself. That's why it says in the ads, "When you go to Carl's Jr, you get yourself embarrassed by asking a small burger because that doesn't exist in Carl's Jr!" Well what they say it's true. Even you try to order the smallest burger there, it's bigger than one BigMac in McD!!!

Back to the movie!!! I like the songs inside the movie, although they are old but it brings back your childhood somehow. I pretty amazed by how they can relate all these songs into this one movie! Since I've studied Film & Arts Appreciation, my perspective of watching a movie is totally different now. I like how they made this plot into life. Another thing that I like is about the actors and actress, they can ask really good. I think that I'd prefer Mammia Mia compared to High School Musical. Although HSM has original songs, but the acting in Mammia Mia is the best, somehow you can relate. Whereas in HSM, it's just fake, nothing you can relate to your actual life. It's kind of fairy tale musical. Sorry for all HSM fans if I offended you, especially those back in Mauritius.

To end this post, I just want to share with you, real commercials of Carl's Jr burgers. Enjoy!!! :)

An attitude of excellence and of a conquerer!

This is the first thought that I had on Monday morning. I was thinking that a lot of people in life, when problems come their way, they find it too difficult to cope. They somehow see a big mountain (Rong- don't make fun of me, k?) in front of them and they feel discouraged. They thought that this is the dead end so they make a U-turn and go back to the same routine. But let me tell you something, I am not like that!

Why do people give up so easily? What are they afraid of? Is there any solution? Well let me tell you what I think. A lot of people see the big mountain as a problem that is so big and so huge that they think that it's impossible to climb. I see this big mountain as a opportunity to breakthrough. I see every problem as a challenge to overcome. We ought to see every problem as an opportunity else we can't move any further.

I saw and met a lot of people having difficulties in their lives and they are just negative thinkers. They cannot overcome their big mountains. Somehow you must spoon-feed them so that they can move on. But when you don't do anything about it, then they are stuck there. Ok you may not understand what I'm talking about. Let me give you an example. I have this friend that I'm training how to sing, so I'll tell the guy, "Hey I know you can do it, just give your best." He will tell me, "Ok boss, I will do it but every time I keep trying I can't do it." I really really really hate people who has this kind of mindset. If you want to do something that you have to overcome, you must come with an attitude of excellence. Don't come to me and say that you will do it but... blah blah blah... I hate the word BUT when you got to overcome something in your life. If you ever someone tells me that he can do it BUT something something something..., then I'll kick his butt!!! Sorry for the expression but it just make me feel that I'm wasting my time. Well I'm not being bad here. I'm just saying that people tend to forget that they have the ability to overcome and become a conquerer. It's just that a lot of people they don't see their potential to be one, which is pretty sad to hear that.

Well for all the losers and give-upers out there, my point here is that you all have a potential to overcome and become a conquerer. Once you become one, you're being this attitude of excellence within you. See every problem as an opportunity to breakthrough! Don't stay as a newcomer, now it's time for you to be an overcomer!

Passion World Tour - Kuala Lumpur

Hello people!!!! You have here a new Robin!!! If you knew the old Robin, well you better get to know the new one!!! He is no longer the same as he used to be! If you knew him as a quiet guy or maybe talkative, well let me tell you something, THIS GUY IS NO LONGER THE SAME!!!! He's more talkative than before, he's more passionate than before and not only that, he's crazier than before!!! Why why why??? It's all because of....

THE PASSION WORLD TOUR CONFERENCE!!!!


PASSION!!!

PASSION!!!

PASSION!!!

(taken from 268blog.com)

Yeah Robin went to Passion World Tour Conference!!!

Yesterday night was the passion conference and it was a blast!!! It was beyond my imagination. Yes I met Chris Tomlin and Charlie Hall for the first time! Guys, this conference is life changing man! Guess what? There were 4000 over people attending this conference and not only that, they were college students!!! I'm overwhelmed myself! 4000 students from KL universities gathered here in Sunway Convention Center. I tell you the hall was packed and all the tickets were SOLD OUT!!! Can you hear that? SOLD OUT!!! I've never heard of this before! If you go to any famous celebrity concert, I don't think that the tickets will be sold out! I even remembered last time I went for Backstreet Boys Concert, I didn't have to pay for it as I received a pair of free tickets. Recently Chris Daughtry came to Malaysia for a concert and free tickets were given out also. Why were they giving out free tickets? Well because there were not a lot of people buying and to come and attend the concerts. That is indeed the truth.

CROWD DURING PASSION CONFERENCE

Well Passion conference was indeed AWESOME!!! If you really want to know how awesome it is, actually it's INDESCRIBABLE! You should have come for this conference and experience it yourself. From the beginning till the end, it's just wonderful of how we all as one worship God in this place. They had a Fantastic Band which was absolutely marvelous! Wow!!! Since when my vocabulary has improved? :P From Awesome to Marvelous, well just imagine how GREAT this event was!!!

Passion World Tour KL - taken by me

On my arrival to Sunway Pyramid, I had to wait for this bunch of people from CF to come so that we can go together. Well it was worth waiting, I was enjoying those little girls ice skating. I've always enjoyed ice skating because there's a lot of agility and grace. Anyway it's going off topic already! So afterwards I met my bunch of friends and we ate at Wendy's! The burger is NICE!!! It's big and nice! Better than McD! Sorry McD, I was never your faithful customer anyway since you opened yourself in Mauritius! Alright after eating in Wendy's, we went to queue up from 4PM as the event starts at 6PM. Well being conscious that the 4000 tickets were sold out, I urged them to go early. But still there were some lazy bump! Anyway as we went to queue up, I went to buy the Passion CD+DVD(RM35) and the Tshirt(RM60). Ok to some people it's super expensive, but I don't really care 'cause I won't get to go to Passion so soon. I don't think that there'll be any promotion either. Well it doesn't mean that I'm a rich guy or whatever but just imagine, if you were in my place, there's no other Tshirt like that you will find and it's the last stock and that's the only price and this Tshirt is super duper nice, wouldn't you be like me and buy it??? Well I bought it and I'm happy about it! Sorry for all the losers who didn't buy! I will wear it proudly in college!!! MUAHAHAHA!!!



(taken from 268blog.com)

Queuing up for 2hrs is not fun to tell you the truth but it's worthwhile! There was a very large crowd queuing up and it was getting hot and we couldn't feel the air con anymore. I bought a Wendy's Burger early, so I ate it there while queuing up. Some people really envy my burger and I didn't really care. They thought that I would be disgusted by their envy for my burger. Well this doesn't work on me, sorry guys, when I have something to eat, I can eat it like nobody's business! :)

(taken from 268blog.com)

After 2hrs of queuing up, the doors finally opened!!! Guess what? If you don't move together as the crowd is moving in, I think you can die. Why am I saying that? Well as soon as the doors were opened, the crowd ran into the convention center! Everyone wanted to go and and get a seat in front of the stage in the middle! Everyone was running like crazy and I got push and bang by few kids! Hey wait! Kids???? How come there were kids in this event? I thought it was only for university students!!! I tell you, these kids pushed me and hit me like nobody's business, rushing to get a seat in the front. I tell you, if I was the father of this kid that pushed me, I would hit me and be punished for months!!! Haha!! Why am I talking like a father now???

I also ran like crazy anyway! I wanted to get a seat and I'm very super satisfied with my seat! Just imagine, I was sitting on the 5th row in front of the stage and I had a very super nice view man!!!! I got to reserve seats for my friends and then Michelle, Jacklyn, Li-Anne and Nally came to sit with me. So we started to take pictures and a lot of pictures!!!

Soon the lights were off and the band started to come on stage and this is their intro!




Intro of Passion

Chris Tomlin - taken by me!

The Band really brought the atmosphere and the presence of God into this place. Everyone was singing, although most of the songs were new to us but we just sang new song to Jesus! After that Louis came on stage and started to share the message of God. I tell you, I was so impacted that I've never ever heard this kind of message before. It was so positive, simple and powerful! He said that as university students we should make the name of Jesus famous in our campus, in our city. Then we sang the song God of this City. Louis, then continued this message after the song and he shared about the story of a girl named Ashley - a girl who like partying like crazy! She wrote in her diary of how she was before and how her life was messing up. This is how it started to change when she met a girl who became her housemate Christa she called her Fruitcake. In her diary, she shared how Fruitcake loved and cared for her and how she was different from other Christians that she has met before. Well in brief, after knowing her housemate Fruitcake for 7days, she became a Christian. Ashley was about to graduate from the university of Florida in January until she passed away. Yeah the story was quite sad, but the story behind it, is that Jesus became famous in her life and even her divorced parents saw the changes of her life. What I learned from this story, we ought to be like Fruitcake and make Jesus famous in our campus and in our city. This is what passion is all about.


P A S S I O N

Well guys and girls reading my blog, after this conference, my life has changed. I even cried during this conference because it was so impact. From now on, as I've said in the beginning, this Robin is not the same anymore as you have known him. He is not only crazy but crazier about Jesus!!! :)

Favorite song during Passion - Sing, Sing, Sing & God of this City

What do you blog for???

Yeah the question is "What do you blog for?" Recently I've noticed on Innit, that most people will go and see your post if there's something related to Sex!!! Well does this Cyber World circle around sexuality only? Once you see 18SX, nude picture, sexy pictures, etc... That's where a lot of people will click on it and that's where they will get a lot of traffic on their blog so that they can earn money from Nuffnang. Well of course those people blog to get money no matter what, but does your post really reflects you? That was the question that I asked Cherish today during lunch time in college.

Recently I've seen her posts were about sexy pictures of ladies. At first I thought that she was suffering from a low self esteem. But she told me, "No it's so that I can get a lot of people on Innit to visit my blog, 'cause most of them when see sexy pictures, then they will click." Well Nuffnagers, are you such a pervert? I've also noticed that I've got a lot of people visiting my blog recently when I posted on my Sexuality Test. According to the statistics, I've received 272 people reading my post in one day!!! It was my record of all my posts. Of course I was really happy to see a lot of people visiting my blog during that week. But just recently I've realized that if I continue to write my blog like that, it's not reflecting me anymore. That was not the main purpose for me to write blog. My main purpose to write in this blog, is to keep in touch with my friends because I can't email everyone one by one, especially those in my hometown. So I simply ask them to read my blog on all what is happening in my life.

My blog is about my life and this life is where I'm sharing to all of you. All these happening things in my life, it's where I learned from mistakes or learned new things to develop myself to be a better me. I'm blogging to share experiences and to inspire people. Of course if I saw something interesting or funny, I will post it out, so that my friends and other people might read and laugh about it too. I just want to make them feel what I feel!

Blogging ain't about copying and pasting from an article and claim as if it's yours. Although that you put the source out there, it still doesn't mean that you have to copy exactly and make it yours. At least you can read it and use your creativity to rewrite in your own words and comment about it. Nowadays in the field of employment, people seek for creativity. So since you are still young at there, maybe in heart also, USE YOUR CREATIVITY lah!!! You can make this cyber life a life a routine. People seek for art, passion, life and most of all creativity. At first I always told myself that I have no creativity but I have no skill in drawing. But creativity doesn't come from drawing only. It's something that inspires you to create something. That's creativity is all about! :)

Well I hope from this post, a new born spirit that stirs you up to be inspired to create something and write something creative. Let's blog with passion in our hearts!!! :)

Starbucks Vs Petrol

Last time I went for prayer meeting and Pastor Kevin was comparing Starbucks and Petrol. Starbucks coffee is one of the best coffee maker in the world. He asked us who likes to drink Starbucks, I raised up my hand like many of us. I love Starbucks! I always go and order on Tall/Grande Java Chip Ice blended coffee cause I think it's nice and the chocolate chip is eatable when you're drinking it! hehe... Mmmmm!!!!

DELICIOUS JAVA CHIP ICE BLENDED!!!

He then said, the largest size of the coffee you can get is the Venti. The venti is 24Oz which is about 0.71 litres. One venti costs around RM16-18. So let's put it 18 bucks! As a result 1 litre of starbucks coffee costs RM25.35. Then how about the petrol in Malaysia?

A lot of people has been complaining about the rise in petrol in Malaysia. Did you know that the price of petrol in Mauritius is twice the price as yours? And you're still complaining? Haha anyway, that's not my point for today. So the price of petrol in Malaysia is now RM2.70 per litre.

Since the rise of the petrol, most of the people travel by public transport such as:

LRT

OR/&

Bus

All these public transport are very slow and you have to wake up earlier to go to work or college and it takes hours to reach your destination.

So what are you waiting for??? You still don't get it??? I'm talking to all Starbucks lovers here. If you love to drink starbucks, why do you still complain about the rise of petrol and you can afford to drive your car?

GO AND DRINK PETROL!!! IT'S CHEAPER MAN!!!

A day of a new beginning!

Yesterday I went to church like any other weekends. This time it was not a usual weekend. My life started to transform and it's a day of a new beginning. I've never experienced such thing before. It was so powerful and indescribable literally. Sunday is not a usual day for me to go to church. I usually go on Saturdays but this Sunday I went because I really couldn't make it and I missed my cell members at that time. But I think God has a reason for me to go on a Sunday.

Throughout the beginning of the service, I keep thinking of my hometown, my church and my youth ministry there, which I don't know why at this particular time only I think of such things. When I was in the van on the way to church, I didn't have a single thought about it. It all started the service started.

Pastor Kevin was preaching on Unleashing Your Potential. It was indeed a very good peaching. While I was listening to it, it seems that every word that is being said, it is directly related to me. I felt like God was talking to me directly! Even during the preaching, I don't know why I'm having this thought about my church back home and about the youths there. Every time when Pastor was stating out his point, a new revelation started to come to me! Suddenly the dream that I had before I come to Malaysia started to rise up! This is dream is, deep inside of me, I just want to go back to Mauritius after my studies and bless my land. God revealed me that I should do Psychology in Malaysia. I didn't know why but I just obeyed as I know God has a plan for me.

Back to the preaching. The greatest tragedy in life is not failure but failing to see the potential on the inside of us - that one dare not even try! This is how the preaching started and while listening this reveal me something. In the past I used to be a failure, a failure in my studies. I was really weak in my studies in my secondary school. I would fail and repeat the class again. The greatest failure for me was my A Levels. A lot of people don't know about it, but now you know it. I was really depressed of this failure. I had a choice, either to repeat or find a work, but to find a work it's very difficult if I don't have a minimum of A Levels. My parents were putting the pressure of me. So I went to think, and I felt like fasting and praying for 1 week. After 1 week of fasting, God started to reveal to me that I should go to Malaysia. Then here I am in Malaysia, God has given me another chance to prove myself worth. I was trying to go through shortcuts of doing a degree directly but it was impossible for me, no matter how I try to get out of it. God wanted to build my character, especially in my studies. So I did the foundation in UCSI and I don't regret it.

Since I started my degree after my foundation, I joined choir ministry and I started to get lots of responsibilities in cell group. I'm kind of being promoted in my cell group. From arranging the transportation for my cell members, I do more than this now. I prepare the bulletin for our cell group every week and I do games and warmth time. For me it's a very challenging thing for me because I've never done the cell group bulletin before. It was Edi who was doing it and the job was passed to me. I had to use my creativity and originality to make this bulletin better than Edi's. So I started to do something new. Now each of the bulletin that I design is different from week to week and it's getting better and better.

So Pastor was also sharing that our Potential is realized within God's appointed leaders. Hendra is my cell leader and Kristy is my subzone leader. I learned a lot of things from them. They taught me and I obeyed them. If I want to prosper and have the anointing of God to keep increasing in my life, I have to position myself in the presence of God's anointed leaders and serve the man and woman of God with a pure heart! Until now I don't regret that I joined City Harvest Church and I have great leaders above me to serve them.

When the service is almost ending, God started to awake this dream that I have deep inside of me again. I started to feel different. Pastor then made an altar call to all those people who wanted to position themselves to unleash their potential. I wanted God to use my potential, all that I can do, I just wanted to do more than what I'm doing now. At the same time this big dream of my heart is bursting up! So I went forward for the altar call. Ok what I'm going to tell you is very freaky! So prepare your heart and get ready. Once I stepped forward I was paralyzed but at the same time I was trembling!!! Don't ask me how, I don't know how to explain that to you! I felt the Holy Spirit touch me from head to toe. It's like a mixture of hot and cold plus being electrocuted. Maybe that explained why I was paralyzed!!! Then pastor was praying for everyone when suddenly he stopped at me and gave me a word of prophesy. He said that since the beginning of the service that he felt that God is gonna use my potential and just to let Him to take control. From that time I couldn't hold myself and started to cry.

From that time the dream that I had came to me so true when Pastor prophesied on me. If since the beginning of the service he felt that, it means that God gonna use me back in Mauritius. But now it's only the beginning. Now I have new strength and I feel my potential unleashed and it's time to get ready to face new challenges ahead of me! This is just the beginning of the revival in me! :)

I'm having a critical mindset!!!

I'm feeling myself a bit weird these days. I think it started since the beginning of the semester and it has only been alive these few days. I'm having a critical mindset!!! I've been thinking of so many things critically. Is it because of my psychology class of last few days?

Recently I had to do a debate in class with my fellow classmates! We had a topic on morality - what is right or wrong? Well I've strongly been debating against my opponent team. Haha to be specific, against Joanna and Carmen. :P I seriously enjoyed this debate! :)

Is Critical Thinking good or bad? Critical Thinking is the process of objectively evaluating, comparing, analyzing, and synthesizing information. Yeah this is the kind of mindset that I'm having right now.

Please comment on this post. I want to see how many critical thinker is there in this world! I want to get your feedbacks! I want anybody to comment!!!

It's all about Love, Love, Love!!!

Today's post will be all about love, love, love. Yeah I'm gonna talk about love, love, love!
This is what I think love is all about.

Yesterday before I went for my CF evaluation meeting, I was being interviewed by one of my seniors. I don't want to mention about her name now, because she hasn't passed up the work yet. So anyway, I hope that she can get good marks on that! :)

The main question I was asked is, "What is the meaning of love for you?" To tell you the truth, a lot of people will say that it's too broad topic. Yes it's true. It's a very large and broad topic. Actually I describe love differently for different people.

1. Love my parents
2. Love my siblings
3. Love my friends
4. Love my life-partner

I had to describe how I would love each of these in my life. Well it took more than 1 hour to just talk about love. It's a very interesting topic because many people sees love in a different aspect. While she was interviewing me, she was deeply moved by my aspect of love. Somehow love is all about how to treat others and how you want them to treat you in the same way. It's like an exchange but this is called a love exchange.

When I'm talking about love, it's not about SEX! Many people nowadays, especially guys which is very shameful to say, think that love equals to sex! How can you think of something physical if you inner-self is not being controlled by you? Your values counts. Most girls actually doesn't seek for sex in a relationship. They seek for care, respect and devotion to them. So guys, control yourselves!!!

Let me elaborate on different way I expresses my love to people.

1. LOVE MY PARENTS

The way I expresses my love to my parents is by helping them. For example, I help them in doing the chores or if I need to carry some stuffs, I will do so. At first I was not very helpful to my parents and I didn't respect them at all. But with time I realized that they have raised me up since I was born and I should be grateful for them. All these times I was not really grateful at all. I was proud, selfish and arrogant. I won't even say Happy Birthday to my mum at that time. But now I've changed.

The other thing that I realized is that my parents are becoming old and somehow I'm becoming a strong young man. I believe that all these times they have taken care of me since I was young, now it is my duty as their own child to take care of my parents as they grow older. Sooner or later, they won't have strength to carry things, so that's where I will offer them my strength. This is how I love my parents.

2. LOVE MY SIBLINGS

My siblings is another way for me to express my love to them. According to Dr Gary Chapman, he describes 5 love languages that we expresses and feel towards people. Click here for more details. For my brother, although he's younger than me by 1 year, he thinks that he is the eldest. Anyway, my approach in demonstrating my love to him, is by respecting him. If I respect him, he will respect me. Stating one of the 5 love languages, his love language is Words of Affirmation. If I don't praise him or encourage him or cheer him up, he doesn't feel that I love him. But if I do, then he will feel loved. Whereas my sister, her approach is different from my brother. As my love language is Quality time, so I would spend time more with my sister, but it's not her love language. So all these time I had to see what is her love language in a way I can express my love to her. Well her love language is Acts of Service. For example, she likes cooking and she would prefer that I help her to mixing the ingredients and washing the dishes than to praise her and tell her that her food is good. She's that type of person that expects that you'll help her without she asking you.


3. LOVE MY FRIENDS

The way I expresses my love to my friends is by caring. Justify my answer, as my interviewer will always say. Well caring for my friends is something to sacrifice such as my time and money. Somehow Quality Time is very important for me in my friendships. It helps me to know the people I'm friends with and how I can help them and how they can help me. In other terms, I expect something from a friend as I sacrifice my time and money for them. You would say that I'm rich that's why I can sacrifice my money. Actually you see, if one day your friend is in need and don't have money to eat, at least you can help. Although your friend has money but if you bless your friend a meal for example, next time it may not be your friend but somebody will know that you're a generous person. That's where your fame increases and you get to know more friends. Yeah somehow some just come for my money, but in the end, this friendship doesn't last for long because of the wrong intention of the person. Last time I was reading my Bible during my devotion. I came across this verse in, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13, NIV)

4. LOVE MY LIFE-PARTNER

Alright I don't have any partner for the moment but I believe that I'll have one soon!!! :) Anyway this is how I'm going to treat my lovely one. The approach that I'll be giving is about Quality Time again. Yes Quality Time is very important in a couple life. That's my concept. My interviewer asked me if I believe in long distance relationship. Well actually I don't believe that it will work for long. The percentage is very super less that they will still be together for the rest of their lives. I believe that if someone wants to based their relationship on a long distance, it must be based on a very strong foundation of love, commitment, sincerity and understanding. Without these components, I don't think that the long distance relationship will last forever. Love is not something to be played with but something that we live with! Nowadays a lot of young people just try to have a relationship with someone then see if he/she is the right one. I don't advice to try because you might not know what is the other one's feeling especially if it's a girl. It's very bad that you're the guy and you start a relationship with this girl and then you break up with her because she's not your type. Don't you think that the girl will hate you for that and that you've broken her heart where she was hoping on you? The way guys see things and girls see things are completely different. My interviewer continues and asked, "what are you finding in a girl?" Hmm.. it's a very interesting question indeed. A lot of people will look on the physical first but I'm the contrary of that. I look at the attitude, behavior and character. If it doesn't match with me, then I'm so sorry you're not the one. Physical attraction comes second place for me. Of course I'd like to have a pretty girl to be my girlfriend. Let's say the girl is super hot but then she might be dumb! Well most of the time it's like that, there's a lot of sexy and hot babes, but actually they are dumb. Pretty on outside but not on the inside, is equal to a miserable lifetime but pretty on the inside, it will reflect on the outside (coz she's smart), that's where you'll live the best lifetime.
Well that's all about love for today, the interview ended with my senior after 1 hour. I'm happy that I've been able to help her in her assignment. I'm getting tired to typing and having inspirations of writing. Anyway before you all go, I just want to share with you 2 videos that really describe a father's love for her daughter. I hope that this will bless you. Enjoy! :)
