Beyond comprehension

July 30, 2008

I just felt compelled to post these pictures.
For all that I rebuke India for its uncleaniness, chaos and dirty politics, I all the more respect and appreciate it for its distinct features, beauty and culture (Although I still think certain aspects of its tradition and culture is ridiculous)
This is the Taj Mahal, a man’s greatest [...]

My Confession

July 27, 2008

I have been blind, unwilling to see
The true love you’re giving.
I have ignored every blessing.
I’m on my knees confessing
That I feel myself surrender
Each time I see your face.
I am captured by your beauty,
Your unassuming grace.
And I feel my heart is turning,
Falling into place.
I can’t hide it
Now hear my confession.
I have been wrong about you.
Thought [...]

Yours truly, in the news

Kampung days:

FOR three days, Kamaruzzaman Mahat, 14, has been packing dinner home — not because his mother does not cook, but because the taps at home have run dry.
Water supply to his block at Jurong West Avenue 5 had [...]

To you my darling sister

July 22, 2008

She hands me a paper unevenly torn around the edges with the following words scribbled on it:
Always remember this Joy:
Always believe that a man’s finest hour, his greatest fulfillment of all he holds dear, is the moment he’s worked his heart out in good cause, and lies exhausted on the field of battle, VICTORIOUS!
– From: [...]

‘No Air’? Nah, ‘No water’

July 21, 2008

The pipe that transports water to my block: BUSTED
For crying out loud man!
I had to bathe with cold water, something I am very very pissed about. Cos I hate, or rather can’t bathe with cold water.
But its all quite eye opening. I didn’t know I used soooooo much water in a day. Never occurred to [...]

“It is Done”

July 20, 2008

Today, the choir was recruiting.
And I heard my twin (hehe) elder sister sing for the very first time. As in, I heard her voice and all.
Praise God! I can’t thank Him enough for whatever He’s done in our lives so that we grow closer. Its amazing. What an awesome God we have. I love you [...]

I’m a Shipwreck

July 16, 2008

I’m sick of doing what I’ve been doing for the past 12 years of my life.
When I enrolled into primary school, I remember having no clue things would turn out as they are today.
Boy, was I young and fearless!
I’m going to be facilitating the devotional tomorrow and I pray that I won’t be ministering to [...]

In Him

July 15, 2008

Its about time things change around here.
Everything is spinning out of control
and I feel caught in the whirpool of emotion.
Deadlines, decisions, dead ends,
Fear in my eyes.
But My God is a good God,
My refuge, He will deliver me.
My Saviour, He will never abandon me.
My Father, He will look out for me.
In Him, I place my trust.

Psalm 5

July 13, 2008

1 Give ear to my words, O LORD,
consider my sighing.
2 Listen to my cry for help,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.
3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait in expectation.
4 You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil;
with you [...]

To you, my friends

July 8, 2008

Sometimes life feels like its worth giving up.
Its cold and stinging,
your heart aches,
your stomach gives you that wierd feeling of life passing by you in a flash.
It is then that I will step in, remind you
that its all worth fighting for,
that there is light at the end of the tunnel,
that I will be there to [...]
