Joyful Christmas Carolling of Hope Family! - Happy

Oooopppssss............ here to be continue with my recent updates >> Hope Christmas Carolling 2009! It's been a long time, I did not experience the atmosphere of Christmas Caroling and Jingles..... now, once again the feelings are back here in my heart..... the feelings of peace, warmth, lovely and joyful....... really likes it very much!

Last two weeks, we had our Christmas Caroling at different houses of our friends in Westlake and Harvard area. Each and everyone of us were very excited to wait till the day of Christmas Caroling, all of us were very very excited and joyful where we seems very keen in singing the Christmas songs to all people.... well it's been a very new experience for me to sing Christmas songs from houses to houses or street to street..... and that day, it was very enjoyable!

Along the way in singing Caroling, we had also share the life testimony of us and the meaning of Merry Christmas to all of the friends. The life testimony sharing regarding how God transform their life from previous into now...... the miracles that God perform in their life were amazing.... and indeed very true! Most of us being touch by the testimony and the work that God has done in them... Praise the Lord! Briefly, Christmas represents the day where Jesus Christ was born. Christ means Jesus Christ.... and Mas means celebration, so it is Christ + mas= Christmas! And then, Jesus Christ was given the name "Immanuel" which means "PEACE".....

After our christmas caroling at our friends' houses, finally.... we went to the lake to sang Christmas songs along the way we walked from one group of people to another..... It was unexpected and fun! At the end, we end up with a prayer and a photo taking session ..... here all of us ..... starts to be crazy and overexcited! I'm being the lead for the act of debaichilization .... once we came to post our photo pose! I indeed learn it from a stupid and funny..... video that posted by people in facebook.... the name called "Gag Jie"...

Let's join us in next year Christmas Caroling.... maybe, I'll be the one who will going to form another "Debachilization" Club....wait for miracles happen =)

MERRY CHRISTMAS! =O

The Prophesy - It's True

Last two weeks, I went for the movie "2012" in Ipoh & Teluk Intan. It's so mind-boggling and real! I can't help goose fleshing for many times, seem as I'm the one who witness the unprecedented terrifying disaster of the world

Please open the time line above in new tab for a clearer view.

I have been continuously astounded by numerous serious disasters that occur through out the 21st century. What's on EARTH are those killing disaster?! Since the catastrophe has come one by one, prophecy of end time no longer seems to be ridiculous to many people. Regrettably, people in the course of nature lives by sight but not by faith.

Thank God, Malaysia is still safe! At the same time, several reports has come out, insisting that Malaysia would be struck by natural disaster as well soon. In fact, we are way too enjoying ourselves in the indeed comfort zone. After watching the movie "2012", I'm inspired, well, perhaps warned is the more suitable word to use. Friends, can you see anything going wrong on earth?

Let's see. At the time a one world government will be portrayed as a solution to all our problems, and the leaders will fool the world that it will bring peace. It will bring false peace for a short while, but it will be followed by tribulation. The most likely cause of a one world government would be a worldwide crisis to cause panic. This could be something like a natural disaster, war, terrorist attack, financial crises, or a supernatural event. One of these things could be deliberately engineered by people wanting to take over the world so they can gain power.

Nevertheless, the order and magnitude of events during the tribulation is foretold in the Bible. During the first half initially there will be the following sequence of events (Revelation 6, 8:1-5) :

1. An agreement of false peace.
2. War.
   
3. Famine.
   
4. Death to 1/4 of the earth's population due to famine, war and wild animals.
   
5. Christians being martyred for their beliefs.
   
6. A great earthquake where the moon turns red and sun goes black. The sky appears to roll up with falling stars. Every mountain and island moves from its place, with people so afraid that they hide themselves in caves and amongst rocks from God.
   
7. Noises, thunderings, lightnings and an earthquake.

The book of Revelation is the last book in bible which was written by apostle John approximately 1914 years ago. How could a person of ancient know such thing if he was not being inspired by God? War and famine already happen nowadays. Add on, many earthquakes have shaken the earth from time to time. Anyway, I could never figure out the one earthquake mentioned in the book of Revelation.

The following happen towards the end of the tribulation (Revelation 16) :

1. A severe sore comes upon people, with the mark of the Antichrist needed to buy or sell.
   
2. The sea becomes as blood and every living creature in the sea dies.
   
3. Rivers and springs become blood.
   
4. The sun scorches people.
   
5. There is darkness in the Antichrist's kingdom and people gnawed their tongues due to their pain. They blaspheme God and do not repent.
   
6. The Euphrates River dries up and paves a way for the kings of the east, which gather, along with others from the whole world, for the battle of Armageddon.
   
7. The greatest earthquake ever causes all the islands and mountains to disappear, and Jerusalem to be split into three parts.
   

Resources and reference: Bible, Richard Hole - End Time Bible Prophecy

Sigh... I'm somehow sad when come to know the prophesies about the destruction of the entire world. Most probably, I couldn't have the heart to see the earth that was originally made perfectly by God has to be gone. Everything would have come to a past. What else can I hold on to? Money? Properties? Glory? Career? Study?

No way... Even the impressive knowledge contributed by the ancient wise men, including Buddha, Confucius, Albert Einstein, etc can't help me escape from death. Samsara aka reincarnation which is preached by Buddhism will be gone as there will have no next generation if it ever existed. I can hold on to nothing but just the faith toward God as well as the Lord Jesus!

My friends, do you believe in Heaven and Hell? Let's me do a reasonable analysis.

John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

John 14:1-3 Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me(Jesus). In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

Act 4:11-12 He(Jesus) is " 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.' Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

Philippians 3:20-21 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

As the bible says, as we believe in Jesus, we shall not perish but have eternal life in heaven. In short, the bible tells us that when we put out faith on God as well as Jesus, we can enter heaven. So, let me go ahead with the analysis.

AFTER DEATH

If heaven and hell exist,
Believe in God & Jesus ----> Go to heaven! =D
Not believe in God & Jesus ----> Not going to heaven = going to hell!

T____T

If heaven and hell do not exist,
Believe in God & Jesus ----> Not going anywhere, die means die la!

= . =lll

Not believie in God & Jesus ----> Not going anywhere also~ = \

Heheh! Believe in God & Jesus is always the smarter choice! In fact, smarter than using DiGi!

That's why I say, we should put our faith on God! By God's grace, we would discuss more about salvation next time. =)

Salvation means being saved from spending eternity in torment after death. It means our sins are forgiven by God and we have received His gift of eternal life in heaven.

Glory To God Forever, AMEN

One Day Trip For 2012 In Ipoh & Teluk Intan - Happy

Hihi! Last two weeks, we had went to watch a movie so called "2012" where this movie tells about what will happen during the end time? This movie was act according to the geologists and researchers prophecies in future. It was a highly recommended movie to watch, if you haven't watch.

After I had watched this movie, I indeed feel very sad and nervous because it was so real, once I saw the each and every scenes of people crying, shouting, struggling, hooking and so on..... I indeed feel the sadness, pain and there's only hopeless moments at that time.

Here, I would like to share with you the truth according to God's word in Bible. It has been true that our world will one day collapse where we called it as "THE END TIME". As to Christians, we believe that when the end time has come, it represents the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ to earth to took all believers back together to heaven with Him.

My dear friends, the end time is very real and true, it is not a fake incident, in order to save your lives and set yourself to have freedom and eternal life in heaven, here I would like to tell you that only Jesus Christ who is the only one that can gives a new eternal life by forgiving our sins.Jesus Christ had the compassion heart to save each and everyone of us by coming to earth as the form of human and received the punishment of sins on behalf of us. So, today I would like to advise all of you who yet has not come to know Christ, please let your heart be open to receive this gift of salvation, it is the most precious gift that nothing in the world can compares.He is the only way to eternal life!

I'm indeed very happy on behalf of Sze Rou and Ah Mok because they had made their most precious decision which were to come to know Jesus Christ. Indeed, I knew both of them were being save by God's grace and mercy.... At last, we will meet together in heaven when the end time has come!

AH MOK & SZE ROU, WELCOME TO HOPE KAMPAR, FAMILY OF GOD! =)

Hope Kampar Family!

Congratulations to Ah Mok & Sze Rou for accepted Christ! Praise the Lord! =)
Continue to "JIA YOU" in life and shine forth for God!

Pulau Pangkor, One Day Trip - Happy & Enjoy

Hihi, everyone! it's me here again to share with you my life ups and downs. Indeed, recently I seems very very busy in many areas and also because of this, sometimes I felt very tired and unhappy. But, don't worry about me, everything has its solution! I'll just live with the principle "Don't Worry, Be Happy" where I know God is always with me along the way I walk....

This time....here in my blog I would like to share with you my joyful trip to Pulau Pangkor with a group of my lovely brothers and sisters. First of all, thank you for the efforts of Sushi to organize this trip for us! Indeed, this Pangkor trip had been a joyful memories for me from now on where I really miss the day of our fellowship.

We really had a wonderful time although it was just a day, but we indeed play with our full energy and excitement! All of us seems to put down all sorts of our burden and thoughts aside to really enjoy the beautiful scenery of Pulau Pangkor and spending quality time with brothers and sisters. The smile that you seen within us in each and every photos indeed had symbolize the enlightenment of our life and excitement in us.

On that day, we have 3 cars to fit 14 person. We started our journey early in the morning at 7.45am and arrived at around 9.30am for our first destination where we had our breakfast.... the most famous "hokkien kicap" noodles in Setiawan. It was really delicious and special! The shop was located in a small village where it makes me to recall back the memories of a small chinese village in the olden days.... really peaceful and simple, just like away from the hustle and bustle cities!

After our breakfast, we continue on to jetty and sat on a ferry to Pulau Pangkor. Then, we rented two taxis where it fits 7 person per taxi. It cost about RM10 per person! Expensive right? From the beginning, I also do thought it was very expensive but at the end, you'll never thought about that anymore because the road in Pangkor was really small and even difficult to drive, if you don't have any good driving skills...... don't ever try to challenge o!

Within a few hours, the driver brought us to many places such as the chinese temples, satay factory, historical place and so on! Indeed, we were very happy capturing many photos for each places that we had went to. Lastly, we end up at a mamak stall at the roadside to have our lunch at around 2.30pm. Whoa, this mamak stall was not a normal mamak stall where there was a "abang " that make up his face beautifully there goreng-ing mee goreng!!!! I tell you the truth, the mee goreng and maggi goereng that we ate there were much more delicious than any mamak in Kampar, it's great man!!! If you were had a chance, do come and have a try! Don't miss it!

After we had our fun at the seaside, we had our dinner at a restaurant called "Pekking Restaurant" where it was a standard chinese restaurant with delicious dishes. All of us were out of energy and became exhausted during our dinner, so when the dishes were up to the table, all of us like "Hungry Ghosts"..... just in a few minutes all the dishes were finished!!! Izzit bravo? hehe.....

Let's come and see the excitement and joyful moments of us in Pulau Pangkor! =)

Let's look at the camera ladies ....and says "CHEESE", says Calvin!

Let's play hide hide together! =)

Happy 2nd Anniversary, HOPE KaMpAr ! - Joyful Memories

Time passes just in a twinkle of an eye......

Can't even imagine I had spend my one and the half years in furthering my degree studies in UTAR Kampar and also serving God in Hope Kampar and now come to a year where it was Hope Kampar 2nd Anniversary!

Guys and girls, here would like to say sorry for being late to update my blog. Due to my busyness and short of time in rushing many datelines for a load of church ministry work,assignments and teaching tuition, I was indeed no time to update my daily updates.... very sorry for that!

When I first started my short semester for this quarter, I thought it was very easy, relax and everything may seems go smoothly..... BUT, that was not true. The reality was .... even worse where I'm short of time in everything. In my short semester, the words keep on appear in my mind were "RUSH, BUSY & NOT ENOUGH".....not enough sleep, not enough time, not enough strength, not enough idea, not enough ......!!!

Aside from this, it was just only a short semester, but indeed had happen so many things that were unexpected. Sometimes, I would think why it happens and what can I do? It seems tired for me to think about it anymore because it is not important for me anymore what it is all about now, all I know now is I'm tired and would like to have a rest.......Before this, I thought that I had grow and learn a lot from "NOTHING to SOMETHING and to EVERYTHING but after all, I just realized that I'm actually not that strong, not that courage, not that good, not that clever, not that....indeed, I'm weak, coward, dumb,bad, lousy, worse......

One sentence to describe > > > "I'M NOTHING AT ALL" !

Last week Saturday, 14/11/2009 was our church Hope Kampar 2nd Anniversary. Praise the Lord, on that day, we have about 170 person attend for the anniversary and there were 4 new conversions and 4 re-dedications.... Thank God for the success of this event.
