He's a Gift from God

He is a gift from God to us. Back in 2009, it was the period of time when I actually really get to know him. He is my cell leader, a leader who is very very responsible and reliable. He is a very shy and introvert person but due to our talkativeness, he started to talk and joke with us in the car whenever we went out for dinner after cell. Connie and Chin Eng always gave him some lame jokes and he picked up from there.. starting to be super "fei" too. It was indeed a joyful period of time until Connie's accident happened.

Her accident brought our relationship closer like a family. Whenever we have difficulties, he is the first person to help and always say yes to our request. Although he's young but being the eldest son in his family, it created his good and reliable characteristics which earned him a lot of admiration and respects. He was the one and only person who directly offered me help during that incident. Coming all the way from Puchong to Tmn Melati in the middle of the night to fetch me to the hospital. Staying overnight with me in the hospital underground level, waiting for the completion of operation, accompanying us to wait for the reports..slept for 1 hour only for that 2 days.. proved that he is a Good Man.

He is very talented in directing skills. He once told me that he is interested in pursuing Cinematography. He directed a lot of dramas in our church. The biggest and latest production was 4320. We're proud of him and the CPM team. He was restless and stressed but he neither complaint nor scold his team for being late sometimes. He was sick at that period of time but he did not take off day from his work. He is definitely not a workaholic but due to his working environment, he was forced to even work on public holiday.

When I was sad and stress over my house issues, exams, ministry, he is the one who cheered me up and gave me advice. I wanted to do the same for him now. I knew he is feeling down when I talked to him. He sound low in spirit.

He was recently diagnosed with Familial Colon Cancer and recent report stated that it is in stage IV and had metastasized to liver. I've seek advice from Dr. Lim a special researcher in cancer field. When she heard about his condition, all I heard was gasping. I knew it in my mind that it has gone to a serious stage. Dr. Lim adviced to get treatments asap and to cut out the colon. If he really wanted to opt for cyberknife, seek advice from the specialist asap and weight the benefits of both treatments (colectomy and cyberknife). Doctors will normally give the solutions where they are more specialised in and have more confident (cos of higher success rate he had done in prev patient).

Oh God, he is a humble man of yours and he is still very young. He directed dramas, the calling that you've planted in his life. Let him continue to testify you, Lord, in both ways.. in health and in drama production. I believe in You! You are the Way, the Truth and the Light. In You, we found the path to salvation.. In you, we found miracles.. In You, we believe all extraordinary things will happen. He is a GIFT from you to us. A friend who cherish us, a friend who makes our lives different, a brother whom we love so much. Heal him, O Lord. You are Jehovah Rapha, God who heal.. We want miracles to happen. We pray to you, O Lord, hear our prayers and our sincerity. We believe all the treatments are beneficial in prolonging his life and you will use him to testify your name and power to the whole world until the day you come again to save us. O Lord, answer our prayers, answer my prayer.

If you wish to help him or buy him some foods like I do, buy the list of food or nutrients listed below (this is the food that help inhibits/prevents cancer cell):

• Foods/drinks that increase blood circulation or help build cell/tissue.

Phobia

Every time, when I happened to bump into thief, I may have a sudden energy in me to get me brave enough to chase after or to scold them. I may look tough but honestly, I'm getting the feeling of insecurity after each incident. The first one, after the snatch theft, I've stop myself from stepping into amusement park (where you have a lot of ding dong games). The second incident, the brave thief who climbed up to my condo window at 13th floor, I've been super alert, getting insomnia, and kept on peeping at my window for any sign of shadow... it has been a restless night for few months. The third one, thieves broke into my house, stealing my lappie, cash, golds, and my pictures are making me feeling more and more insecure. I did not realize my pictures were gone until I started to clean up my things and re-arrange the items. This is bad... I don't feel secure at all. I used to love to be alone at home but now... I don't dare at all. Are they maniac?? Oh God, will you please help me? I need the feeling of security.. I need your protection. I'm scared (although I hate to admit it) =( . 

I wanna move out asap.... I don't want to be alone at home, I don't want to go out alone anymore... all sorts of crazy thoughts, please go away.... Looking at my partially mess up room now is very disturbing. All of my CNY mood is gone. Get rid of my phobia pls.... 

I want Blessings!!

Last year on the 2nd day of CNY, my elder sister's hp was stolen by a thief coming in to my house on broad daylight and stole the phone without anyone noticing. Sympathize with sis, I sacrifice my Sony Ericsson hp to her (cos I hv 2 hp that time). Stuck for 1 hp with one mobile number for a year till now.... wanting to get a new hp but still considering which brand is okay.. 

Very unlucky..same thing.., this year 2nd day of CNY it happens to me, thief broke into my house.... the west M'sia house. sigghhh... My laptop gone, my gold necklace with 3 pendants gone... I dunno what else is gone. I know you'll definitely ask, "Why you left your laptop in your house??". Well, firstly... it's about time that laptop need to be formatted and fixed cos the internal clock battery is about to die I think.. it's getting weird; we need to carry 2 laptops back to hometown. So, I was thought it was unnecessary to bring it home as I dont use it at home when I already have another laptop with me (but this laptop does not belongs to me and it cost much more expensive than mine). Thus, very unfortunately, thief got my laptop for free. When we got the call from our neighbour, I was like... Oh gosh, dont tell me our house was broke in and my laptop.... sighhh... 

Neighbour tried to make a police report and supposingly the police need to take pictures but because we're not at home, they said need to wait for us to get back. bla bla bla..... So, all things are on hold now. Oh goshhh.... I really dunno wat to say when I heard it. 

If you ask whether I really feel down and angry, I will say... a little only. I dont really feel sad. I dunno why... I'm sad because I bought my Laptop at RM3600 and it was gone in a snap of finger. But why I dont feel really sad is because I've already planned to buy a new laptop for myself... and planned to lend that old laptop of mine to my sister since she doesnt have one. Very unfortunately, I cant do it anymore... My gold necklace gone..just buy a new one lo... I'm just sad because it's a gift from my mom and aunt. I can't never get that same necklace anymore since it is a 1-month-old-birthday gift.

Well, since things are stolen and cannot be replace... we'll just let go and forget. But how secure will I feel when I get home, I'm not sure... I'll just pray for God's protection and let me sleep soundly at night. Since it's CNY and it's a brand new year.. God, I want double blessings!! My things are stolen...but I believe God will provide better things for me! Provide more than enough for me! 

Malachi 3:10-11 (New International Version, ©2010)

¹⁰ Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. ¹¹ I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the LORD Almighty.

Recently & CNY

Too many things had happened.. I'm not sure where to start with or maybe I've forgotten all about it. @.@

- My laptop need to be hospitalized - diagnose & get treatments.

- Students' new semester started - old and new students.. new students (headache), old students (still the crazy bunch of youngsters - more headache? XD haha~ they'll scold me for sure if they read my post).

- Pervert or too poor to get her own underwear - this is not the first time... it's the 2nd time, got stolen. Luckily this time, not all... but a piece only.

- CPM - started... More productions to come in the future.

- Dancers - Getting more n more closer to me. They are keen to learn more but I have no spare time for them (some of them). Trying hard to guide them, be their advisor/counselor by leading them in their lives. I'm glad that they actually seek for my advice when they have difficulties. I'm glad that they take my words into account - that they will do their very best for their academic. I'm glad that one of them specifically called me and told me that she created a fan dance for me and wanted me to see it...(unfortunately im not in church at that moment - so it's put on hold) - happy that they are putting their creative mind into work. 

- J - I saw his improvement... taking his own initiative to read his bible - mayb a motivation from his discipleship? haha~ anyway, it's a good thing. Last time he used to argue with me when i've thrown him some scriptures- mayb he ate too many twisties that he kept on twisting the words.. hopefully in future, he'll be better... knowing what His will is in his life.

- CNY mood - is it ON or half way ON or OFF? I'm not sure... half way mayb? sigghh... mayb i've been too busy recently that I dont have time to do my shopping, to plan for my CNY visitation or gatherings...

Google translate

Pros and Cons of google translate..

It can be very useful for banana/mango like me who doesn't even know chinese and need to read chinese sentences. Likewise for other languages too. However, it sounds funny cos it is directly translated into the language that you have chosen. So, all the phrases might be upside down and when you read it, it's either:

a) You understand what it wants/telling about;

b) You get a lot of question marks on your head and that sentence does not make sense to you at all.

Try and read this paragraph that I've gotten from a friend of mine who actually use google translate to translate it into english for me (I'm not saying that friend of mine is bla bla bla... I'm just taking it as an example - I knew my friend is very busy and have no time to do the translation cos it's a very urgent stuff and I need it right away to prepare). Here it is:

"That most of the Jews, the Jesus is in the low areas in Singapore when the alien preaching to a group of aliens. Jesus began to affect the work and information on a large number of aliens. Jesus have mercy on the records of non-Jews, and further confirmed Mark's writing the object is Roman."

Sounds funny right? and the sentences don't make any sense to you at all right? You can't even guess it.. Now, you know how I got confused and have a BIG "?" mark on my face and lotsa tiny "?" on my head. 

Although it sounds funny, sometimes google translate does give us some benefits. Actually, we (mango/banana) are able to understand some simples sentences. Eg: "If you think about today, you come to church, you believe in Jesus, accept Jesus for what purpose?" This sounds just nice.... not funny at all and you know what it is exactly! Ta-dang~ A big clap to google!

See, here's the miracle of Google translate.. when you are down, why not translate some sentences and make it funny? Language... ah..languages.
