Thank You on this Special Day

This song always remind me of you...

Thank You (for giving to the Lord)
by Ray Boltz

I dreamed I went to heaven
And you were there with me;
We walked upon the streets of gold
Beside the crystal sea.
We heard the angels singing
Then someone called your name.
We turned and saw a young man running
And he was smiling as he came.

And he said, "Friend you may not know me now."
And then he said, "But wait,
You used to teach my Sunday School
When I was only eight.
And every week you would say a prayer
Before the class would start.
And one day when you said that prayer,
I asked Jesus in my heart."

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.

Then another man stood before you
And said, "Remember the time
A missionary came to your church
And his pictures made you cry.
You didn't have much money,
But you gave it anyway.
Jesus took the gift you gave
And that's why I'm here today."

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.

One by one they came
Far as the eye could see.
Each life somehow touched
By your generosity.
Little things that you had done,
Sacrifices made,
Unnoticed on the earth
In heaven, now proclaimed.

And I know up in heaven
You're not supposed to cry
But I am almost sure
There were tears in your eyes.
As Jesus took your hand
And you stood before the Lord.
He said, "My child, look around you.
Great is your reward."

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.

Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am a life that was changed.
Thank you for giving to the Lord.
I am so glad you gave.


How are you? I miss you dearly =)

Dirty Car

Finally, I am thankful for being a Malaysian car owner after I read this from Wiki:

Believe it or not, but it's actually illegal to drive around in a dirty car in Oman. You may get stopped by the police who can fine you OMR5, although they are more likely to just tell you to wash your ride.

I will really get fine weekly if I own a car at Oman...

Christmas, isn't Christmas

Christmas, isn’t Christmas
Till it happened in your heart
Somewhere deep inside you
Is where Christmas really starts...

Blessed Christmas =)

The Rose

Heard this song on the radio on my way to work today, the lyrics indeed cut to my heart, and I love it immediately...

THE ROSE
(by Bette Midler)

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, its only seed

It's the heart, afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream, afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dying
That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed
That with the sun's love, in the spring
Becomes the rose

730

已经过了730天...
I still miss you dearly

I'm just not sure enough

Things change, plans fail
You look for love on a grander scale
Storms rise, hopes fade
And you place your bets on another day
When the going gets tough
When the rides too rough
When you're just not sure enough

Time flies, hearts turn
A little bit wiser from lessons learned
But sometimes, weakness wins
And you lose your foothold once again
When the going gets tough
When the rides too rough
When you're just not sure enough

I AM SO TORN BETWEEN

Do you have enough nice pictures?

Have you ever wonder what will happen to you after your passing to the afterlife? Is there really a new world at the other side of the rainbow?

I have been thinking over this question lately, wondering if my times is up...
I always have this thought whenever the pain came back and haunt me, silly me.

Somehow, at the midst of my grey grey world, some light shed upon me through a movie & a song.

"Like you come to the island and had a holiday. Sun didn't burn you red-red, just brown. You sleep and no mosquito bite you. But the truth is, it bound to happen if you stay long enough. So take that nice picture you got in your head home with you, but don't be fooled... If we're lucky, maybe, we got some nice pictures to take with us."

Yes, how true... Every face we see and meet is a memory.
In life we are bound to have our ups and downs, therefore each picture may not be a perfect memory. But the important bit is, we can choose to remember the good part, the beautiful moment of everyone you've come across.

If this is the last moment of your life, do you have enough nice pictures with you?
For that matter, did YOU and ME have our nice picture taken together? I hope we did =)
Don't wait until it's too late.

Do bear in mind, some of the details were edited by the editor & chief editor, could be a lil exaggerate, but not too far from the truth ;)

In love with Jacaranda

I am so thankful to be here at the right time to see the blooming Jacaranda trees everywhere at Brisbane!
So I went around following the trace of Jacaranda trees, I am just so in love with it! =)

Fiji Day 20: Pergi Mana

Okay, I was wrong... I manage to take a look at the nicer part of the Island ^.^
Went to the west of Fiji Island - Nadi to stay for a day.
Must thanks Richard for the recommendation and Vodafone for the good rate, I check-in to Hilton resort and went out for a splendid day cruise to Mana Island.

Everything excites me at the west side of Fiji - the sun, the sea, the sandy beaches, the resort, etc...

Some misadventures happened, but for good!
I end up having some VIP treatment in a BMW, from "entah mana is this Mana Island" to "I'm glad I pergi Mana" =p , met a cute baby girl and her pretty mother while sun bathing, and so on...

Everything seems so good at my last day at Fiji, except it would have been better, if I have a company by my side =)

Fiji Day 19: One last glance of Suva

Today is my 19th day at Suva, Fiji.

Time flies; still can remember during the first week when I am here & the miserable period after Adam left, can't stop thinking about home and seriously wanna leave this place asap.
And finally, I will be leaving here in 3.5 hours from now; will be going to the Nausori airport at 5.30am to catch my flight to Nadi at 7:05am. Maybe some of you will still be awake by that time ;)

Some people might think that it's a waste that I leave Fiji without having a glimpse of how beautiful the coast line is around the island, didn't went to the native village to see their performance, didn't have a chance to taste their famous Kava, and perhaps some others must do/see thingy.

But, I have seen the other side of Fiji, the very local one. Not those that you can see from the advertisement - of sea, sandy beaches, island, paradise, etc...
But isn't that what I always wanted? To experience the real local life at different part of the world... This is really one of the good memories I have in my lifetime. And I have bring home so many precious friendships =)

So, I am thankful, and count myself blessed =) Espeacially for His protection and provision along the way.

And yes, like I said earlier, I'll be flying to Nadi tomorrow, stop for a day, to see the nicer part of the island as a compensation for my extension and missing out the Raya holidays ^.^
Then flying to Brisbane, pay Jee Aik a visit, stay for a day. Will be flying back home on Monday night, and finally reach KL on Tuesday morning.

Knowing that you'll be one step closer to home day by day, is SIMPLY GREAT!! =)

Fiji Day 13: Bathing with Fishes & Sun

After loooong 13 days at Fiji, finally I get to soak myself in the sea & sunshine. Unbelievable huh? But it's true... So near yet so far... That's exactly the situation at Suva.

So took a 45min bus ride to Pacific Harbour this morning. Kinda scary, only me alone get down from the bus at the Pearl Resort.

Missed the shark dive... But nevermind, don't think I am ready for it too. As I have never swim in sea water for more than 2 yrs already, since my last diving course at Lang Tengah...
Enjoyed a short snorkel at the Comb Reef nearby, swimming with fishes!
Took a nap on the hammock, with the rain & sunshine taking alternate shift every 15min...
After lunch, the weather got better, no more rain. So I walk around. Swim at the pool. Then air dry myself at the hammock again.
Ended the day with some sun bathing session at the pool side. Now I am 2 shade darker, look even more like Indon maid...

Oh! And I got to know the resort GM too, he said will give me a good room next time, but I doubt there will be any next time thou...

A good day trip. I must thank God for keeping me safe so far.

And the last update from Suva today is - I got sunburn, cos didn't reapply sunblock... Now look like Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer @.@
