I am a Collector

Today is 9th July 2011, marked the history of Malaysia. There was the BERSIH rally today and many were arrested, but in a nutshell, it was a successful rally. Usually I have no interest in this kind of news, but today I purposely online today to check the news, and also to blog.

There was roadblock everywhere in the Klang Valley today and I had no where to go. I woke up early at about 08:40 and after washing my face and had a scoop of protein, all of sudden I started to clean up my study room. I did not have this thought at all, as I wanted to workout this morning. Nonetheless, I have 80 percent completed the spring cleaning process ~ Praise the Lord =)

I found out more about myself today. I notice that I am a collector. I collect bags, papers, paper bags, boxes, and most of all, I collect memory. I used to pen down my feelings in a diary and I have been doing it for many years until some time ago, I stopped and changed to blogging instead. Perhaps it is more convenient to blog, but the significance of writing it down in a diary is a different feeling all together.

My last entry was on 28th January 2010, on my birthday. It was just a brief description on what I did on the day before, whereby a friend celebrated with me at Alexis, Bangsar. I found my entries from September 2003 onwards and read some of it.

I found out that I touch the diary whenever I feel unhappy, as such, there were a lot of negative feelings in my diary. It was more like a letter from me to God; each time I feel sad, I will choose to tell God and then bury my feelings deep down.

Of course, I do pen down happy moments too, especially those that I would want to remember. I still do it now, just that I blog it instead of writing it down in my diary. Hm, it has been quite some time since I last blog in my secret blog, perhaps it is time to do so again...

Okay, it is quite late now and I am getting tired, will continue tomorrow if I have the time to online.

Good night =)

Greatest Act of Love

Greatest Act of Love

It used to amaze me what people really think about you, with all the time invested in them and other things you do. The listening, the caring, and the encouragement you give them every day; those things are not always appreciated in any kind of way. The overtures of friendship offered and the ear you give to their woes; they still can turn out to be your most awful foes. Instead of returning your non-judgmental stance, you discover that they have been judging you unfairly quite by chance. You discover there has been murmuring about some mistake they think you have made; when all throughout their life history, their mistakes do not fade. Yet you fail to stop to their level because you know it is not right, It is still hard to accept that ones you thought were your friends were only ships passing you by night. So through my experience, I've learned to take heed, That the greatest friend I have is Jesus, indeed. “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8). Could God have done any better? What more could He have done? Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" (John 15:13). Hours after He said this, He did it. He laid down His life for His friends, His enemies, you and me. If you ever begin to doubt God's love for you, ever wonder if He really knows and cares about you, remember the cross. There has never been a greater act of love.

No Words

No Words? Hm, yea, there are a lot of feelings in me right now, and yet I could not find any words to describe any of them. I just feel like blogging, but had no idea what to share about right now. Perhaps, spontaneity will kick in again as I type on.

Today I went to IOI Boulevard with SY, planning to do massage but too bad the centre was full :( We had a good time chatting and sharing our stories.

Story, everyone of us has a story; some are happy, some are sad, some are encouraging, some are disappointing, some are confusing, some are complicated, and the list goes on. Today, I wanted a quote on simplicity badly, and found this:-

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”

~Confucius ~

Life is like a bus journey. I wanted to pen down my feelings few days ago but did not have the time to do so, perhaps not in the mood to do so. Situation A is like this, situation B is also like this, and the list goes on. I wonder why people like to make things complicated. There are a lot of things we can just view it from a simpler perspective.

A friend told me, each and everyone of us is different and therefore, we are unique. This is very familiar, and this is what I like to quote too. Due to our imperfectness, we learn to bear with each other. Hm, this reminds me of the sermon I listened last Sunday but today I am not planning to share it, perhaps some time soon.

To me, seven [7] is a perfect number, and therefore I would usually rate seven [7] in most situations. The other three [3] is our imperfect nature, so there is room for improvement. However, each one of us has our own way of rating things. In short, we are all different.

Respect and trust are important in any relationship, because we are not the same, so we need to respect each other. Sometimes, we tend to forget that the people around us are different from us and take this for granted. We would assume that other people will react the same as us. There is a song which says life is a drama, and it is interesting because of God. Is my life interesting? I hope I can say yes. LOL.

I am a very simple person who prefer things to be as simple as possible. At the same time, I find that I can be complicated too. Hm, I used to describe myself as "simple yet complicated". I guess I am still the same. LOL.

People say, we should enjoy our lives. Today I bought the European Cheese (Plain) from RT Pastry. Yummy =) I always like cheese and suddenly have a craving for it today. Yea, sometimes we must enjoy life and do what we want.

All right, I know this post is quite random; jumping from one topic to another. Well, at least I am expressing myself now. Hope my next post will be more organised =p

Till then, God bless =)
