PAUSE

Life is going at such a frantic pace
I just want to opt out of this race
PAUSE
II

>
I want to just go slow
Cos' I have nothing to show
I don't need to look better
I just want to grow older
PAUSE
II

>
Hey, I look up the sky today
Looks like rain is coming our way
Good, the grass sure need watering
And the trees just another good drink
PAUSE
II

>
I just need to PAUSE & STOP
It's time I needed to take stock
God, would you give me a thorough check-up
To see the many things that I've neglected

PAUSE
II

Do not fast forward
Do not just rewind
press play or maybe slow motion
Better still, just PAUSE
II

Like a drop in the ocean , You’re SIGNIFICANT!

Like a drop in the ocean…

It does not matter much…

Insignificant? I’ll say NOT!!!

You’re like a drop in the ocean,

You’re SIGNIFICANT!!!

If only we see, and measure to with minute accuracy,

Drop by drop, water soon fills up a whole glass

Ah… quenches my thirst…

Rain drop, and rain drops…

How severe a flood they would cause

if they just don’t stop

Drop by drop,

and again drops by drops,

turning a gentle stream into

ferocious mighty river

Pause!

Drop! Drop! Drop!

Forming a puddle,

forming a river

Like a drop,

what you do really matters

Say this, rap it with funk…

I am me, I’ve got value,

and GOD don’t make no junk!

Look into the mirror,

You wish you could look a little bit better…

But know this, GOD really loves you,

And that’s what really matters

Say this, rap it with funk…

I am me, I’ve got value,

and GOD don’t make no junk!

Like a drop in the ocean,

You’re SIGNIFICANT!

Celebrate Ignorance

CURIOSITY killed the CAT?
If the cat's name is BOREDOM... then YES!

And also if the cats' names are Doldrums, Dullness, Monotony, YAWN...

To some life sucks...
all because there is nothing new under the sun.
We have come so far... we seem to know all that is to know.
We have done so much... that there is nothing new to be done.
We are no longer finding life exciting or fun.

But mind you, there is so much that we have yet to KNOW and to ENJOY.

We need to have the humility to ACCEPT or maybe
CELEBRATE our IGNORANCE...

I don't mind being ignorant...

That is when I would want to KNOW and LEARN more.

CURIOSITY may just be the spark that ignites the desire to EXPLORE and LEARN.

Hey, it is good to be curious... you get to know and maybe find out first hand the answers for the questions you were asking...

Maybe a playful approach towards our mundane task would bring about novelty and get us interested again.

Look at things around you, look again, and again as if it's the first time you see it.
Maybe you will find something new that's interesting.

Look at the people around you, look again, and again as if it's the first time you see them.
Maybe there is something nice or novel that you will discover.

Look at your life as if you've just came back alive from being pronounced dead.
Be ALIVE again!

You won't die from being curious or ignorant.

Don't be STUPID, be IGNORANT!

Life is so GOOD that I don’t mind dying

This is my post EASTER post…










I was having lunch today with Jenny & Daphne,
when Christina & her husband Larry joined us…

Christina has came to deliver the Omega Fish Oil that Jenny has ordered.

Larry is a very enterprising man…
Now he is now a wholesaler for Omega Fish Oil, Barley Green and Wheatgerm.

In other words, he sells health food supplements…
All these supplements help one live longer, gain youthfulness, etc…

I don’t usually take health food supplements…
(I do not have the discipline to pop pills everyday)



In the midst of our conversation, I said
I live naturally, I eat naturally, and it’s only natural that I die naturally.

This may sound morbid to you as a subject over lunch, but I really don’t mind dying.
Christina asked if it’s because life is too stressful/painful for me, that I don’t mind dying.
I reply" NO". So, I just said Life is so good, that I don’t mind dying.


If the life that God has given us in this temporal world is so good;

and because He has promised that He has gone to prepare a place for us, and will come back for us;

Life must be even better after death… that is eternal Life with GOD.

Jesus said “…I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”



First, let's take a look at the word "life". In the Greek it is "Zoe" referring to the principle of life in the spirit and soul. Distinguished from "bios", which refers to duration, means, and manner of life.

So we find that the life (zoe) that Jesus referred to are the things of the spirit, the things which are not seen.

Not the things of the flesh or of the world which are seen.
Jesus here is talking about eternal life.
It is not about having good things on this earth, or in abundance, and prosperity in this world.


I have more than my fair share of a good life on earth…
It’s time to lay claim to the “zoe” that GOD has so given…

Do you want to die here and live eternally,

Are you prepared to die without claiming “zoe” that was given to you in abundance…

Response to the new cabinet lineup

Have been hearing a lot of comments on the new cabinet line up the past few days...

So here is my two cents worth...

This is NOT my original idea...


Thanks to Mr Nice Guy...

Rukun Negara ... 1. Kepercayaan kepada Tuhan

Do you subscribe to this... do a deep search

“A nation without God's guidance is a nation without order. Happy are those who keep God's law!” Proverbs 29:18 (Today’s English Version)

In response to : The Malaysian Insider's report Najib chooses BN over Country

“A nation will prosper when its ruler is mature, and its leaders don't party too much.” Ecclesiastes. 10:17 (Contemporary English Version)

The Key word is PARTY... doesn't matters whether the political or the yam seng one... ha ha ha...

What about the PM and all the PM's men(and women alike)

“When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily; but with honest, sensible leaders there is stability.” Proverbs 28:2 (The Living Bible)

I don't mind if...

“Leadership gains authority and respect when the voiceless poor are treated fairly.” Proverbs 29:14 (The Message Translation)

We wish that...

“When good people run things, everyone is glad.” Proverbs 29:2 (The Message Translation)

I always believe this should be our response...

Do we? Can we? Will we?

“Makes Jesus your Lord proud of you by being good citizens. Respect the authorities, whatever their level; they are God's emissaries for keeping order. It is God's will that by doing good, you might cure the ignorance of fools... Exercise your freedom by serving God, not by breaking the rules. Treat everyone you meet with dignity. Love your spiritual family. Revere God. Respect the government.” 1 Peter 2:13-17 (The Message Translation)

Our CALL to ACTION...

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chron. 7:14 (New International Version)

Hammer & Screw... You CAN be PERFECT!

We always hear this...

Nobody's perfect...
Only GOD is perfect...
While we are still on earth, we are all not perfect...

Well, today I'll say YOU CAN BE PERFECT!

My perception of being perfect is like this...
When you need to get a nail into the wall,
a hammer is the perfect tool...

Then the hammer is PERFECT no matter how ulgy or stained it is.
It doesn't matter if it is a $2.00 hammer, old hammer or a $1,000/- state of the art NASA hammer.

On the other hand, if you use a screwdriver to whack it in,
it may work but that's just NOT perfect.

Need another example?

A philip head screwdriver is PERFECT when you need to fasten a cross head screw.
And now if you use a hammer, even though you may force the screw in, it's just NOT perfect!

Hey, let me tell you a story...

Malathi is a school teacher in a suburb...
She teaches Biology...
It is not every year that Malathi gets to be a class teacher for the better classes...

Sometimes she gets students who are from the poorer background...
students who are academically challenged...
and all the sorts that a normal teacher would just give up as hopeless...

Malathi would call the parents, talk and counsel them...
offers solutions that would not necessary be that from a teacher...

She goes beyond her normal call of duty,
so that her students who have no hope to do well academically,
would find a place to do well in society...
She has recommended many to vocational studies,
helped solved their problems at home, etc...

Just recently, Malathi shared this with me...

There was a boy in her class many years ago...
To protect his identity, let's call him Roy.

Roy has difficulty passing most of his subjects in class...
One day, Malathi took him aside...
she asked Roy what he wants to do, what does he wants to be when he finishes school...
Roy replied " I want to be a policeman"
Malathi said " Why don't you find out what does it takes to be a policeman. What are the subjects that you need to pass in order to be a policeman"
Roy went to the career counsellor, and came back with the information.
Malathi advised "Now just concentrate to pass these few subjects, forget about the rest."

Just recently, (a few years later) Malathi met Roy again...
This time it is police constable Roy...

Malathi, not just teach... she reaches out and INSPIRES her students...
I know of many other stories about Malathi that could be compiled into a book...

Malathi, YOU ARE PERFECT!
Just as what God has called you to be...

I believe if we just do what we are suppose to be doing...
doing it right...
doing what we are called to do...

then we can be PERFECT!

I salute you ... PERFECT mothers...
I salute you ... PERFECT fathers...
I salute you... PERFECT clerks, teachers, waiters, managers, pastors,
Most of all, I salute you... PERFECT children...
Just be who you are, and do right whatever it is you doing...

YOU are just PERFECT, my friends!

How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator? Reality Check

You are a hunter in an African jungle.
But you don't kill animals...
One day, you caught an elephant. Now...
How do you put the elephant into a refrigerator? Answer : Easy, open the door, put elephant in, close the door.
It's a simple and uncomplicated way of solving a problem.

Then you caught a giraffe...
How do you put the giraffe into the refrigerator?


Since this is a well known riddle...
You would probably answer: Open the door, take the elephant out, put the giraffe in & close the door.

Sorry... You just can't do that
I don't think you can put the elephant into the refrigerator in the first place...
Life is not that simple... You just cannot fit the elephant into the refrigerator...
Now you've got a second problem... the giraffe...

OK... OK...
Let's move on...
There is an animal conference in the jungle. All the animals attend... except one.
Which animal does not attend?

The well known answer is : The giraffe... Ha! Ha! everybody knows that... The giraffe is in the refrigerator...

Think again... in the first place... you can't fit the elephant into the refrigerator...
Now what about the giraffe... It's much taller... and I don't really think it'll fit into the refrigerator either...
So you would probably have to let them go... (Remember you don't kill animals)

So, all the animals would be there... Ha! Ha! LOL!

Fourth question... No not the river with crocodiles...

Now fourth question...
During the conference, at tea break... did they have cold or hot drinks?

Think.... think....
and think again...

COLD? with ice...

HOT? ....

The answer... the answer is...

They have neither cold nor hot drinks...

THEY DID NOT HAVE A TEA BREAK!

What??? cut budget... you may say...

NO! NO!

WAKE UP...
Stop dreaming...

There is no such thing as a conference in the jungle...
You are not a hunter in Africa...

Ring!!! Ring!!!

The alarm clock sounded!
I woke up...
got out of bed...
and wrote this in the blog!!!
