But above all else, i know that with the proper and clear visions on paper, it will guide me in maximizing my time wisely in achieving the goals that i have.
A quote that reads "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail". Another quote that says, "A man plans at his heart but it is God that leads his path".
Indeed, how true is it.
I would like to bring upon this amazing story to you. I would appreciate much if you can spend 5 minutes to just read this short story and be blessed. May it encourages you in your planning.
A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants.The race began.Honestly, no one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.
You heard statements such as:
"Oh, WAY too difficult!!" "They will NEVER make it to the top." or "Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"
The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one....Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher....The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!" More tiny frogs got tired and gave up....
But ONE continued higher and higher and higher....This one wouldn't give up! At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!
THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it? A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal?
It turned out....
That the winner was DEAF!!!!
Woo. Amazing story yea. The wisdom of this story is: Never listen to other people's tendencies to be negative or pessimistic, because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you -- the ones you have in your heart! Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!
Therefore, above all else, Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!
Always think: God, I can do this!
It is no doubt where everyone is climbing a new mountain in the coming year, but it is your choice to climb a higher mountain. Don't be satisfied of where you are now, challenge yourself for a greater height!!

----------------------------------------------------------I'm hunting for a good furniture shop. Tell me where...where...
Everyone loves this very day.
For sure, many have known that it's Christmas day. But what makes it even more special is the birth of Jesus in the manger, what makes it more significant is the birth of our Lord, our Savior. My Lord, my savior, your Lord and your Savior.
However ...
What do you think?
On the other hand, in the contemporary world, the interpretation of Christmas day has become a commercial occurrence. A time that people treat Christmas as a relaxing day, no workloads to be stressful about. With more sales hoping to be seen in the malls.
What do I think then?
Wow! This season, i happen to stumble upon this song entitled "We are the reason". Its lyrics go well and paint overall of the picture of Christmas, the reason of His coming. Click on it, load it and enjoy listening.
After all, there's no harm and lost of investing 5 minutes of your time to just listening to a song right? Hehe..
Hope this song blesses you.
Let's live Christmas with Christ, not X'mas without Christ. Cheers!
Comments:
Xmas is still Christmas, the X is the abbreviation of Christ in the Greek letter chi. It's not actually removing Christ from Chrrstmas. However since few know this fact I guess many people will use Xmas to exclude Christ from Christmas. (Xmas/Christmas)
Then again, let us consider something more, if we exclude Christ in Christmas then there won't be any reson to celebrate Christmas at all. Just my point of view. Hehe!

----------------------------------------------------------I wish i'm in Singapore now....this season...Christmas season....
It is just so vivid.
Not only that, this is the street that is completely jam packed with throngs of vehicles and humans. Trust me, you will freak out to see how KL people actually "potong kereta". Salute eh.
Something that i have never imagined of.
Posing.
Yea, you know what i mean right?

----------------------------------------------------------Here's the promised post.
So here i am, standing and holding contently of my name tag. Surely, it took determination and commitment of Hope leaders, members and visitors to set aside their one weekend line-up to attend this year's Malaysian National Convention (MNC) with the theme, A Vibrant Community.
PICC
Majestic huh?
Standing at the corridor of the upper building and survey through the entire surrounding of Putrajaya is just so unbelievable. The neighborhood is so wide. I saw tall buildings. I saw lots of government buildings. The best was that i managed to spot on our Prime Minister's structure! His office, of course!
Tertiary group.
Every framework lies inside almost hits the mark of perfection. Really. The seat is perfectly made of leather. The floor is covered up with quality carpet. The wall is coated with thick matting. I believe with such detailed layout, it has surely given a fillip in its acoustics.
Hmmm..... Now, I finally know where do our money actually fly to. Throw that aside, and come back to the actual theme.
"Happiness depends of happening, but joy depends on God!"
Pastor Jeff
"People might reject the gospel, but they can never reject your prayer".
"Excellent glorifies, excellent honors".
The dance team.
The team.
Imagine, 1,600 people shaking the bottles consistently. Wooo.....bring it on, the Olympic spirit yea!
Theme night's Worship Team.
Other than that, i have also successfully planted my footprint on the tip of Putrajaya!
Have you? =P

After a few bite of "Tosai telur", it really tasted like Tosai. I'm serious.
Lesson learned in KL:

----------------------------------------------------------I will be flying over to KL on this Wednesday, which is actually tomorrow. For my church convention and extra four more days lingering around in KL City. Woot!
Shopping? Oh yea!
Behold once more, Johnson is back in rescuing and reviving his forsaken innocent blog. Close to a month of no blogging is so unaccustomed. For those who have been faithfully creeping up on my abandoned blog, this post is then your reward.
My exam is over! Stress freee.....eee......
I shall now declare freedom. Let us shout together as one voice: "Merdeka! Merdeka!". It is always a pressured and stressful month whenever it hits the last few weeks of the semester. Students will be suffocated by stacks of workloads. Merciless lecturers will utilize this opportunity to assassinate us, the victims with venomous lab reports, presentations and assignments. Some who can barely bear with the toxicant will be poisoned to death.
Of course, i am the survivor.
This semester is sightly tougher and laborious for all. More workloads. More sacrificial time is needed. Actually, prior to this semester, i have already presumed that my four subjects will be harder, workloads will be heavier than before. Thus, because of this, i have to abandon my blog for the entire month. Unfaithful me.
Suffering yea?
Thank God, after the extra push to accomplish all of my assignments, i managed to get all things done on Friday. That is the fastest speed that i could go. Nonetheless, my final paper started on the following Monday.
Die. Choy. After Friday night, most of my peeps have decided to camp whole day in the classroom until the end of final exam. From morning until late midnight, we tried to brush up all of the uncovered chapters. It was tired though, when you knew the clock was ticking so fast and many syllabuses were yet to be read.
Exhaustion.
Candidly, i was at times too exhausted. My head was so in pain. Yet, when I see all these as a delight in studying before i officially work, everything was then turning into a pure JOY.
Half dead.
Regardless of the drowsiness and uncomfortable hour that one needs to abide, many had put in extra sacrificial effort for these final papers. I can testify that.
I appreciate it heaps. *wink*
The joy of studying together.
Year 2 Semester 2 is officially over. I am grateful to God for meeting a lot of great peeps in Swinburne. You know who you are. Thank you all for walking together with me for this entire year. You guys are great!
And for now, i will be flying over to KL tomorrow late evening. After that, i need to sit down, pen down, jot down and plan out my three months looooonnnnggggg holiday. Again, "Merdeka! Merdeka!"
Hehe. *grin*
