Friday is crazy day

Why is it frowned upon to overspiritualize stuff ?? I don't get it !Honestly, isn't God creator of the freaking universe !? Haven't we said all our lives how awesome he is and how he deserves everything because we didn't deserve it in the first place ? Then why doesn't He deserve to have a place in our daily conversations ? Everyone always steers away from religion and God and stuff and thats not only with non christian friends but with fellow believers.

Are we ashamed of the one who created us ? The one who gave us life? The one who knows US the most ? The one we sing and clap and jump and shout as being worthy ?The one we call Lord.

"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?Luke 6:45-47

He sacrificed his only son for us screwed up people. And Jesus out of the love he had for us, did as he was told eventhough he knew the pain he had to endure.He paid the FULL price so we did not have to .As Pastor .Jeremy said ,sometimes as asians we always try to find the bargain in things so we don't have to pay the full price .We try to make lame excuses so that things don't have to be so hard. But think about it ,what if Jesus DID NOT pay the FULL price ? How much in a hole would we be in .

Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."Matthew 26:38-40

I mean Jesus is royalty ! He is the SON OF GOD . There is no higher authority .Name above all names as we say, sitting on the right hand of the Fathers throne .

Unfortunately, all of us fall into this wave of peer pressure and culture of what is 'appropriate' and 'inappropriate' and because everyone is afraid to step up, we just hide in the shadows and float. Blarghh ...

PHEWW... long one ahead folks !


Because I wanted to and not because Hannah wanted me to .
I will always be your 'babi'
;)


As usual I found myself down in Melbourne again last weekend and yes it actually is 'down' in Melbourne cause I found out yesterday that Melbourne is actually about 600m lower then Ballarat geographically .How cool is that .

Ok, well .The weekend was great as usual ,very eventful which makes it even better cause you feel like time is passing really fast but it really doesnt and you're left satisfied in the end. Thats a really nice feeling. After an hour ride down from oh Ballarat Grammar we arrived in the Pillai house where I also just found out yesterday that Pradesh, Preman and ... errr Ken something is their indian name and Jer, Ben and Ken is their christian name ! Weird, I always thought the names were their surnames and I always got confused .I am enlightened . Anyway ,had an awesome bowl of SUP KAMBING and coriander and random roast chicken with the Pillai's and then later greeted by the Chans and Ong for 'impact'.

After enduring a journey long conversation in the car by the boys about football and football and what more, FOOTBALL (its a wonder how u laster so long last year Jo, seriously) we arrived. Laughing with Jo and catching up on 'matters' followed by punching of Ian before worship is always fun and so relieving .I can't exactly 'geram' punch my dad/mum .I only throw 'sam' at them. Doesn't do much I tell you. Worship was good refreshing, recharging. How great is our God . Props go to Jem for the inspiring sermon , straight to the point and purposeful, wish I brought my notebook and pen ,really .This is a really long post I should summarize , as I have only covered day 0.5 of weekend.
Next day arrived with a confortable quilt over me which is the most conforting thing to wake up to .Watched 'Why so serious ?' with John john and half of the time the Joker was on screen my eyes were closed ,his freaky voice doesnt make anything better .My name is Jane, I am a whimp . Heath Ledger did a brilliant job. CAPTAINBALL was next followed by a lot of trigger happy photos by yours truly with the beautiful 'Haley' and 24 snaps later I ran out of film .Oh the tragedy !! The cons of going old school .If you think I already had an eventful day, you're wrong .'Manifest' was next on the list .('Manifest' is like 'Hillsong' minimized) With such vague directions of the 'big buildings', 'trees' and 'Burke rd and 'Cotham rd' how can anyone get lost !? really ! Grrrr... I guess my bad sense of direction in the city was a contributor as well .Long story short ,I was an hour too late and missed worship .mmmh. Day 1.5 end.

A bowl of beef noodle soup was there to save my day the next morning as I have recently been converted into a 'not morning person' .Thank you dear cow who died unwillingly for me. If it means anything ,You were delicious (sorry Milo XD) Finally we were only late for church by 10 mins which isn't bad compared to our past records .Awesome worship, items (good job girls) and sermons done. Here comes big finale .FOOD GALOREE ... coupled with some Joanne and Ida and Ian and Ida and people time. Ofcourse with a dash of Simon YOW'S interestingly disturbing curiosity and humour .Eeeh, the tissue episode haunts me.
Things involved:-

Carlson's snot filled tissue

Carlson's snot filled tissue wrapped in clean tissue in Simon's hands

Simon Yow and his curiousity

and a

mortified crowd after snot is discovered by Simon

even after ALOT of persuasion to do otherwise.


Day 2 END

Sexy Vegan Factor : 5 CARROTS


MILO VENTIMIGLIA : He’s starring in one of the biggest shows on television, he doesn’t smoke or drink alcohol and he’s a lifelong vegetarian. Is the Heroes actor too good to be true? It sure sounds like it. But Milo, who came in third in last year’s sexiest male vegetarian celebrity poll, said he still has to make a conscious effort to take care of himself. “You can be a vegetarian and still eat pizza every day,” he said. “For the first time, I started to really pay attention to what I was putting into my body.”

wei wei !


So, i'm back after 16 days of nonstop action, events and awesomeness. So much has happened over the past 2 weeks, and so much to say where do I start ?! Ok, I'll tell you the truth, I reckon this is the 8th time I've tried to post about the past 16 days but nothing seemed to come up to its standards so I have come to a conclusion that I shall just blab. Brace yourselves !! Here we gooo...


Malaysia was all I expected it to be ,hot, humid, polluted, dirty, ugly, with non stop rain and non stop shine, smelly drains and disgusting toilets. Doesn't sound like much eh ? but lets not stop there ! in the midst of all things foul there it was nasi lemak, otai burgers, milo kosong ais, kai fan, keropok lekorr !!!! aaaaaaahhhhhh.... heaven ! but how can I forget the most important factor, the people who knew me the most, they were there and I couldnt feel any better. I belonged again.

THe 10 days was used to its fullest, shopping, visits, makan, dinners, suppers, breakfasts( although I usually slept through most of them), lunches, gg marathons, movies and ofcourse random bum times.... It was much fun. These things could not have been accomplished if it wasnt for you incredible people who allowed me to kacau you and create havoc in your homes for that period of time, thank you Tans and Wongs especially . Thank you very very much and it was MY pleasure ;P
