B.U.S.Y

Have you come across with this word? Familiar? Ha! It stands for :
B- Being
U- Under
S- Satan's
Y- Yoke
yup, i had a fruitful discussion on this matter with my Care Group today. Most of us were sharing how we went through our term break. Paradoxically, it's a working holiday. Busy ourselves with our assignments and our own commitments which has subtly took up most our time and sadly, sometimes we had neglected to spend time to our Giver of time. The story that we discussed together reminded me also how the Satan could creatively sabotage our lives by keeping us occupied with loads of things on our mind. It doesnt neccessarily come in an ostensible way everytime. He can tempt you to gossip when you are having spiritual fellowship, letting us to have a conservative lifestyle, letting us to go to church/CF meetings/CG but steal our time hence we cant gain that relationship with Jesus, having excessive recreation that makes us exhausted and restrains us from being reflective to God's wonder in nature and so on and so forth..The most terrible one is that Satan lets you to be involved in soul winning but crowds Christians with so many "good" causes they have no time to seek power from Christ. soon, the Christians will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause..
So are you infected?

Shakespeare On Screen

This evening was a total brand new experience for me. We had our film shooting at Taman Jaya Park. Million thanks to Kim Cheng who called me just before the shooting and reminded me of the Lord would constantly be with me as i was initially rather jittery whenever im in front of the camera.My not-so-demonstrative personality has restricted myself to perform to the best.I dont know why.Most of the first few acts, i was quite stoical, struggling hard to find the suitable expression to say my lines. Beleaguered by worries of the weather, script memorisation, others assignments, presentation had almost made me went out of my mind and caused me hard to focus one thing at a time. Despite the fact that not all these can be settled at once, as long as i learn to rely on God,knowing it's not a kind of insidious process, i will feel much alleviated..Still, i have sleepless nights.hmm..im not indefatigable..just over exhausted i guess..Ya,im the Romeo in the filming that my group are producing.Just dont imagine how do i look like.It's funny though or hideous just as you call it.haha..

say good-bye to my holiday..

Reality is always challenging. Term break is going to end soon. My assignments are still piling up and more to come once the class starts on Monday. I dont know why i dont feel the urge to complete it and i dont even know where to start. Today the past has led me to kneel down and cry out to God. Perhaps, i have been too inquisitive that has caused myself to be overwhelmed by anxieties and fears. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. I wish i'll be mature enough to say to God someday that let all the pain, affliction, struggles that His has willed for me, for the purpose of accomplishing His plan,why not just let it be?..
the usual schedule will begin again on Monday. Let me be strengthened by Him who cares for me, who created me, who formed me, who watches over me, who keeps me so that i can learn to be submissive and dependent on Him every second of my life..

THE Camp v.2

Let it not be just another camp. Let me be rebuked and disciplined with what has drawing me away from my Heavenly Father, the one who cares me not only my needs but to broaden my sight not to look but see the needs of the His people. Broken as i am now, He never failed to pick up the pieces and patches through the rough path for me. Clearing misconception and breaking the walls of barriers to enable me to cross culture as how Jesus has crossed from heaven to earth to show the way. He humbled himself in obedience because of the overwhelming and unconditional love for us that has led Him to the cross by taking all my sin and shame, to build a bridge, bringing me back to God. Apparently everyone shared their problems living and studying with friends from different ethnic groups in campus. Im not exceptional in this case. Perhaps, i have been treating this issue lightly without giving much contemplation how will the next generation be if my laid back attitude perpetuates in this issue "to build bridges and to cross culture". A thought that really struck me was what kind of environment were we trying to shape for our next generation to live in and to grow as a christian in this country? I seldom talk to friends from other races nor am i trying to create an opportunity for them to come to know God personally. I have been giving myself excuses of having no time for these group of people. Aren't they too part of God's creation?I started to wonder, is God's concern, my concern?Is what i am doing now reflects what is God's will for my life?Many other non believers too have a perception that Christianity is a westernized religion, which doesnt make sense to them culturally. Do i even care to make the effort to clear all misconception in them?How could i care less now?On the other hand,there are a lot more people who thirst for the gospel and it's sad to see that the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. The situation was similarly what i witnessed myself during our visitation to this Orang Asli kampung which was not far from our camp site. A lot of christians there and but the lack of manpower was part of the major issue to train up the next generation to lead the community there. Families suffer poverty and insufficient of food supply. The schooling children were often being mistreated by the teachers in school. They were pinched and slapped for doing minor mistakes. Their friends from other races bullied them, yet justice was not served but in return they were being pinched on the face for complaining. My heart was broken the moment i listened to their stories. Well, of course i would still admire them for their simplicity in life, being contented with what they have and the hospitality that they offered during our visitation. I observed no unfriendliness among them expect for those who were shy. One thing i brought back with me was that if we were to bring changes to their life, where should we start?We saw the living condition, which was comparatively far behind of what we could enjoy today but are they ready for the adaptation for better lifestyle and convenience to access to resources that they need as their revenue to support their lives?do they really need that or is it just a compulsive urge in us to build bridges and crossing culture in order to help them? Despite language barriers, i could still manage to talk with an adult there, knowing more about her family..Those little kids were memorable because of the infectous joy in them.
Many issues has been exposed by KimCheng during the first night session where she helped us to see what was God's plan written in the bible(Gen11:1-9, Tower of Babel) and reminded us of PKV's vision. Apart from being, there's a need to see our pride, prejudice, fears, a predictable "tic tac toe" where we could predict where the chinese will end up to or the indians in the country we are living. A multiracial country indeed but the unity is almost out of the picture compare to what happened in the history when our forefathers were united because they were fighting the same enemies for the purpose of reaching independence. But what happen to the racial segregation now?hmm...I acknowledge my fears too. it's not easy opening up myself to get to know them(friends from other race) better because of my history too..haih..
Then the second night session was a tough one too, Brother Keepers. Each of us are accountable for our own brothers and sisters no matter what colour your skin is because we are one family in Christ's name as how God has the cultures being redeemed(Acts2:1-13) and a great multitude is to be brought before the throne(Rev.5:9-10;7:9). This reminded me of my resposibility to cheer each other up to continue the race no matter how tough it was until we finish the journey.In the process of keeping each other up, i might get hurt but i needed to learn to trust and became interdependent on our brothers and sisters in Christ. The worst part was to rebuke each other in a loving way..sometimes, to knowing the truth can be painful..
ya, i think thats what i feel to share and encourage you for this entry. Hopefully i can learn to be still in His presence no matter how furious the raging storm is..

hey ya..im back..

this is really a tiring and time consuming journey. But the process of going up and down the was a deja-vu.It happens annually. Moreover, it's good to be back to Cameron Highlands once in a while and many memories came back as i passed by a number of places, retrospecting the events and tracing back the sound of laughter, the blissful moment i had in some particular place especially the Lakeview camp site, Yong Teng Cafe, T Cafe, Hong Kong steamboat shop and the list goes on...it's a pleasant journey especially my spiritual walk is once again renewed by God. Probably i should share it in my upcoming blog entry..
well, my mind is shutting off now. Hope to get back here to piece together what i've learned recently from my own CF camp..

leaving soon..

Another 8 more hours to go..i packed my bags and im uncertain whether am i ready to go again.Riding on a spiritual path, anticipating for the Spirit to renew me once again and hopefully it'll be a new chapter of my life..May the Father continue to plant new thoughts and visions to break me and empty me to be used as His vessel. Anxiety seems overwhelming. Worries flooded in. Perhaps the reluctance to let go of the unfinished work behind and go for the camp. Is it a lesson for me to learn to let it go into the hands of God?Is all these unnecessary baggage for me to take up to the hill?well, God has called us not to live a comfortable after all..it's the process of character development..it all depends the way i think that shapes my thought and also the most important is that how much my thinking can relate back to biblical teaching.I find my knowledge about God is superficial. Therefore, i thank God for creating hunger in each of us and so that we will look for food like how we wanted so much to look out for the righteous path, seeking after Him.
So, i will end this entry here,praying that God will still be with me in whatever i do and think..

End of the beginning

Well, friends..im not negligent or trying to be ignorant or indifferent with what i have started off..finally, the blog entry starts all over again here. The beginning has just ended and phew!!thank God that this time the recreating of another blog account wasn't really time-consuming.
Thanks to my dear sis, Jiahui. She has taught me how to use the blog and stuff..frankly im not blog-savvy, but still managable.
Nothing much has been done today. Here went the discussion again for the film making which is one of my subjects this term. Tonnes of tedious work and requires much effort and time to do a meticulous planning especially to get the appropriate customes, props, music, physical setting, etc..to be ready for the shooting..The shooting will commence this coming wednesday.However much i complain of not being prepared sufficiently to do it, i know have to settle it sooner or later.Sad to realize too..that..oh!!i havent memorize my script yet..for all you know, i was assigned to be one of the casts..ROMEO..haha..compared to Bahz Luhrman's romeo and juliet..im much more lousier..x1000unpreposessing...x1000000inefficient,untalented...
Ok, friends if you have read this, please do pray for me that God will strengthen me in all my weaknesses to be able to trust Him that i will learn something ultimately..
