new mouse

Ok so my current mouse is failing me. It keeps disconnecting and i am looking for a replacement. Any suggestions. I prefer white but any color will do, just not pink. If possible a wireless mouse but not a logitech wireless mouse, i've had enough of logitech. And not over RM 100. I think i spent too much on this one already.

thanks

all's well...

Hi there. So the semester is almost coming to an end. Tickets have been bought. Assignment due dates are closing. Soon we'll all be sitting for finals. Its been an incredible ride this semester, a lot of troughs and rarefactions haha i remember my physics.

The past few weeks have been really busy, i don't like when the assignments and tests are clustered together so that there's no breathing space. But alas its coming to an end. Another 3 months of break, wondering what i will do with my time seeing that i didn't make the best use of it this time.

God is good :)

there for me

The older we get the harder it becomes to ask for help because everything around us tells us that we should not need help, that we can handle whatever comes our way. Well the older i get, the more i need help and its hard to ask for it.

I think one of the greatest gifts that i have enjoyed in my life is the gift of friendship. I have enjoyed the company of many good, and many great people and their life continues to inspire me, encourage me and shape me. Friendships are a gift from God and its a privilege to enjoy true friendship, one that can keep you up all night because someone needs to talk, one that sits with you in the hospital bed, one that keeps believing you can change, that you have what it takes, that there's more to you life that what you know. True friends are a blessing.

A friend told me once, people need to be reminded more than they need to be instructed. And i think that simple things like letting your friends know that they can trust you, that you will be there for them, actually telling them that goes a long way, does more than we can imagine.

Right now i feel like telling my father how much he means to me. So yeah don't take your friends for granted. Have a great week :)

in my heart

For some reason this piece was in my mind and i didnt know what album it was from, or who wrote it just the tune, so frantic i was trying to find the tune until somehow i kind of figured it has to be yiruma. I'm in the mood for instrumental/sentimental music now. This is my belief by Yiruma and i love it.

bigger than me


"success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as a byproduct of one's surrender to a person other than oneself."

it is well

First off, i want to thank God for the keeping vcf in Curtin University Sarawak campus for 10 years. When i look back at the people who have been at the helm of this great fellowship i feel so small. Of all the presidents, i can say i know three and they are all people i admire and respect for their leadership abilities.

I must say that i went to this celebration with a sour heart. Was actually thinking of all the problems that i have faced. Most of which have been my own making, coming out of my indiscipline and care-free lifestyle. I was thinking about how this fellowship would be better off if i stepped aside. But when i saw how everyone, despite all the frailty came together, whole-heartedly to make this happen, it warmed my heart. It changed something within.

Looking through all the pictures, going through all the words that was sent, thinking of how to present the video, one thing always came up. His love. How as vcf the greatest strength we have is love. Its what everyone who gets in experiences, and its what they miss when they're no longer in miri. This is something of a legacy that has been set from the earliest leaders and something we should uphold, and guard at all cost.

Today God surprised me again, when i feel like walking away, i get that gentle tug saying stay. I almost cried when sharing just before the cake cutting :)

It is well, it is well with my soul.

love is

ditching grace

Was reading about faith and grace in my bible and came to this scary point.

God's grace can be resisted (Hebrew 12.15), received in vain (2 Corinthians 6.1), put out (1 Thess. 5.19), set aside (Galatians 2.21) and abandoned by the believer (Galatians 5.4).

thy word

One of the things i'm forever grateful for is access to good sermons. Sometimes i just don't feel like i want to read the bible. Sometimes i get angry, sometimes i doubt. In those times when my faith is shaky i can sense a longing for the word. 

The bible says the word of God is truth and life. And for those who have put their faith in God, that life is everlasting. More than just knowing the truth, there's also the need to remember it. It gets so familiar that we realise how much we have forgotten when we try to explain it to someone who has no clue.

These are interesting times. Let encourage one another in love and purity not forsaking the gathering of ourselves for His sake. And guarding the mind. Someone said the mind is to the soul what the brain is to the body. And so whatever is noble, pure, is of good report... think of these things. And let the peace of God guard our hearts and minds.

i get lost

Reblogged from kimberly because i like it so much and its true :)

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I am saved"
I'm whispering "I get lost!"
"That is why I chose this way."

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need someone to be my guide.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak
and pray for strength to carry on.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I'm not claiming to be perfect,
my flaws are too visible
but God believes I'm worth it.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartaches
which is why I seek His name.

When I say..."I am a Christian"
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority.
I only know I'm loved.

420

This post could have started a lot differently. Sometimes i just come here and write stuff then half way delete it all.

The choices we make define us, family or job, career or church, they're not the easiest and it takes wisdom to consistently make the right choices. Sometimes we make a terrible choice and bear the consequences of our poor judgement but in the end they are ours to make. And whether good or bad, we have to make them and of course be prepared for what comes next.

On an unrelated note, happy independence day to all nigerians. Proud 49, we have come a long way but the journey continues.

This has been post #419+1, funny huh, numbers.
