Healer... U're indeed a Healer!

After the United Live concert, I was so engrossed with the song Healer (to be release in July). Joel mention the composer of the song was Mike.
So I wrote an email to Hillsong United on Wed nite to enquire bout the song and which album is it from and I immediately receive their email on Thurs morning. C replied me telling me who is the composer and which album is it in.
To my surprise, Mike is Mike Guglielmucci! Former Planet Shakers! And I asked further bout him... to confirm whether is he the one from Planet Shakers and was he really diagnosed with cancer.
I got C's reply yesterday, CONFIRM! Mike is indeed Mike Guglielmucci from Planet Shakers and he's been with Hillsong for a year and a half. And God is indeed holding back his life, he's at home resting now.
For those who are reading this post now... please say a short prayer for him. Ask God to heal him, cos God is the only ONE who can HEAL.

Here's the song that Mike wrote thats been holding Mike's life (just the chorus) and I'm holding it in my heart as well cos I have a dear friend who is also diagnose with some disease which is quite complicated and his body is not strong enough to undergo bone marrow surgery. Let's BELIEVE that GOD CAN... HE CAN DO ALL THINGS that WE ASK of HIM.

* I BELIEVE that YOU're my HEALER
I BELIEVE YOU are all I Need
I BELIEVE YOU're my portion
I BELIEVE YOU're more than enough for me
JESUS, YOU're ALL I NEED

United Live video

Got this video from a random blogger. I have asked him for permission to add his video to my post.. thanks KH.

His video is alot better than mine... ^_^

Worries? What worries...

Worries makes you Depressed
Worries makes you Stressed
Worries makes you loose FAITH
and STOPS you from BELIEVING who's the ONE we can Trust...

Lord, help us to lay down our worries on Your feet and start carrying the FAITH in Believing that YOU are a POSSIBLE GOD. Amen!

United Live short video

Finally!!! The video can be uploaded on GodTube. Took almost an hour to complete. I've captured a few more songs but I like this song the most.. hehe.. especially the Bridge... So Enjoy!

I Am Willing

Jeremy Camp - I Am Willing from the Animated cartoon The Ten Commandments. Great song, Great movie.

Hillsong United Live @ KL

Manage to reach GTPJ on time. Before I even talk about the concert, I just want to testify one thing.
After our dinner (we had dinner @ Jaya One), then we went off to look for the church cos we took the wrong turning (which we ended up makan first before looking for the church). As we were driving along the same street as GT (in my head I was thinking where to get carpark at this hour & concert is about to start), then I immediately saw a guy press for his car, but by the time I told Cyn she already passed by it and she can't stop the car or even reversed. So I told her to quickly make a U-turn in front of the building. While she was making that U-turn, I claim for that car park to be ours. Guess what... the car haven't even leave his lot! So we waited for awhile while that guy reversed his car and the best thing is, the carpark isn't far from GT entrance, Praise the Lord! Oh and one more thing is to thank God for giving me the opportunity to go for this concert... and thanks to Cyn for not giving up hope to look for the tickets. ^_^

the concert starts

The Pastor mention that there's about 3000++ people packed in the auditorium. Alot of them were standing right in front. We stand behind cos it's bit stuffy to go in front and I think it'll be all sweaty and you know... smelly. haha. They started on time @ 8pm. We stand throughout the concert. It was awesome... presence of God was strong and youths were crazy, jumping up and down, singing and shouting on top of their lungs. haha. I felt refresh after going for it.

not suppose to snap photos or video shoot during the concert but no one seem to listen... lots of people still snapping away

Joel mentioned a friend of his who is diagnose with cancer 2 and half years ago, written a song bout Faith. The song really touched me alot, especially when I think about JX case, who is still recovering from his sickness at home. Same goes to Joel's friend, Mike, who's suppose to have 6mths to live (which is 2 yrs ago) but he's still alive - resting at home. Guess God is doing some miracles in these lives, not letting them go yet til they finish the race.
When Joel was praying for those people who raised their hands, I prayed for JX too... speaking life into his soul, his body, and his mind. Command the disease to leave his body. I was in tears as I sang along and I just felt God's love so strong.
As I opened my eyes, reading every line of the lyrics, somehow there's a doubt in me. Not doubting the power of God to heal people but the people surrounding me.
A thought came to me (right after the pastor shared a short message and asking for salvation), my mind was asking "How true can these people be in worship? Are they really worshiping or they are just stirring up the atmosphere cos it's "Hillsong = guai lou"?" And thinking that if this concert were in other country (e.g SG), I'm sure there's hundreds of people raised up their hands to accept God. Sad to say, only a handful put up their hands.
I know I'm not suppose to judge or make such comment, for who am I to judge cos God is the only righteous man to do so. All I can say is that whatever seeds that has planted in their life... let it grow on a fine ground and not on rocks.
I took some video shoot of the atmosphere in the concert but sad to say... the loading was very slow and it doesn't seem to work. So will try it in office to load it up, will post it ASAP! Be patience ya!

Disappointments

Felt disappointed when BB said he have to work on June 9th (which is suppose to be a replacement holiday for June 7th - Agong's bday). I was so looking forward to going PG on Friday (June 6th) and I even applied leave, guess I have to cancel it or postponed it to June 20th instead (BB can get his replacement hol on June 23rd).
*sigh* Guess I have to make my own plans now... go for Kungfu Panda maybe.. hehe..

Hillsong United... Here I come!

Ah... finally get to go for Hillsong United Live Concert.
My friend Cyn manage to get 2 tickets from her church friends friend. I was actually lost hope cos it was a last minute thing, until I saw a message from this guy on Facebook that he have only 1 ticket with him. I asked him to reserved it for me till Sunday evening (that's when I need to wait from Cyn side to confirm how many tickets her friend have). That guy was so kind, he really reserved it for me till I said I manage to get 2 tickets from another source. God is indeed good huh!
Well, this is another case dy la.. that I want to Thank God for. First was Celine Dion's concert... and now Hillsong Concert. This shows how much God loves His children, that He will give anything when you ask in His Name... He will give you the desires of your heart. But of course, we need to give all the glory back to God and not take it for granted. Amen!

Sungha Jung playing Your Song

Here's another one of my favourite song called.. Your Song. You'll hear this song in Moulin Rouge.. Oh so nice!!!

Sungha Jung

Here's a more familiar tune and I guess everyone start to play this song at the beginning. More Than Words.. another amazing video!

Trace Bundy playing Backstreet Boys

This is where Sungha learn his guitar skills from... Cool isn't it!

Another God given talent...

Sungha plays 'Canon D Inn' arranged by Trace Bundy.
Amazing guitar skills... really impressed! Maybe can get him to play for weddings huh! ^_^

God given talent...

Segen Max is a 2 year old boy, that rocks the drums. This video was taken at his birthday party. Watch and be amazed.

David vs David

fire vs ice
Both of them were pretty good in this final performance. Each of them sang 3 songs (Clive Davis song choice, New Song & Contestant Choice). I love the song they sang in the second round which is the New Song, both choses a different song (unlike the previous Seasons of Idol, both contestant have to sing the same song).

Impressed that Simon gave a very good comment on Archuleta, I knew he loves ballads more than a rocker but still its all depends on the votes by fellow Americans. Ah!!! I just can't wait to watch tonights finale, its killing me now to know the results before watching it. Damn Yahoo! for releasing the results on the main page. DAMN!

Here are some photos of the two David's during their singing. I have no more words to say cos Yahoo! said it all... *sigh* click here to read more.


Round One!
(Clive Davis song choice)

David Cook start the first round
followed by David Archuleta
Round Two!
(New Song)
look at how cool he is... killing people with his style
archie still looking good... love the second song he sang. though the lyrics bit cheezy
Round Three!
(Contestant Choice)
cook being emotional at the end of his song... awesome!
archuleta choses one of his best performance Imagine (John Lennon)Although Archuleta didn't win the American Idol... I'm sure he has won the hearts of many people supporting him and contracts waiting for him behind the stage. Anyway, all the best to both David's in their future in this industry of making more good songs!
This gonna sound funny... but what the heck... WE LOVE YOU!!! ^_^

Movie mania

BB came down to PJ on Sat and he brought durians on this short trip. Durians were yummy! Thank You BB...
For once my mom ate up all the durians that we save up for her. haha. Usually she eat less than 10 seeds, I think there's more than 10 inside the container. BB just know how to buy the future mother-in-laws heart. ^_^
It was just a short trip le... he went back on Monday afternoon. So we made plans to watch movies on Sat & Sun cos we didn't catch any movie on my last trip to PG (although I did reserved IronMan @ Queensbay Mall on early May) but we didn't went for it.
So I treat BB to IronMan @ 1U GSC, and BB treat me to Narnia: Prince Caspian @ Cathay (I manage to reserved these tickets early which I thank God for) It was quite crowded at Cineleisure on Sunday, guess everyone is queing for Narnia that day.For the first time, we went cinema with shorts... imagine how hot the weather is. Movie was good, just that I realise Prince Caspian (Ben Barnes) isn't a good actor, doesn't portray himself as king. And as for King Peter, he's the same old Peter you see on the first series... very 'degil'. Cannot tahan his character... like very soft. I like King Edward (Skandar Keynes), he has that dark feature in this movie... mature looking kid.
Overall... it was an ok movie la. I think I prefer watching IronMan. haha. It's hilarious and amazingly cool.. especially his suit-hot red.

Plans... What plans?!?!

The same thing being asked over and over again... What are my plans???
Why is it so hard to come out with decisions, sitting and jotting them down or even start to do some planning first?
It makes me feel alittle frustrated cos most of it comes out from my side and nothing has been firm up. All I can say is just this much of my planning but I don't seem to see the overall picture.
"HOW leh???" I asked myself again and again. No reply from my inner mind or from God. I'm trying to get myself out of some stuff, and not holding anything on too tight.. but there I seem to put myself with more work and more task seem to be on my job scope.
"How?" I asked myself again. "What should I do and when can I start planning?"
Maybe I'm afraid to make those plannings and those changes! Maybe its in my nature... being a piscean. Try to find reasons. ^_^
Argh! I felt its like driving me crazy at times... giving myself unnecessary pressure. Sigh! Don't care la...

Your Joy is my strength

Last week was a busy week (May 7-9). Since we're working 4 days job (our Mondays are officially off days), and I was on MC on Tues. So that leaves me with 3 days to complete all my work load for the week. Moreover L.A was away for seminar that week and I have to do Puchong bulletin myself which I made all the changes e.g announcements and the duty roster, was just waiting for the article which I thank God that I don't have to search it myself (follow Main Church article).
And I have tons, TONS of DVDs & CDs to duplicate (ISOM & our Armour Bearer Seminar). I thank God that Uncle C helped me to do the inserts for the bulletin on Friday, if not I wouldn't be able to finish everything. And also thank God for His strength that I can finish everything and organised my work properly but I still work till 10:30pm on Friday (duplicating the CDs). Those really took alot of my time, convert the DVDs to Mp3s and burn into Audio CDs, not only that, I need to cut some of the sessions into two parts cos the CDs couldn't fit more than 1 hr & 10mins. Which means 3 of the sessions is more than 1 hr & 20mins. More work la. Still able to sustain cos its God's strength not my own. I hang around till 12am cos some of the youths was still around in church helping out with the balloons for Mother's Day deco and I helped them to stick double sided tape onto those cut-out heart shapes for the childrens & youths to write their messages and paste it onto a wall.
I was physically tired cos of the long hours of working and staring at computers and walking up and down.
Well, I just want to give God all the glory la for giving me the strength to finish off my work. Thank You Lord!!!

I'm So So Happy

Went to 1Utama on Sat (May 10) with Cyn & little Isaac.

Isn't he cute in his new sunshade?
Bring them to see some hamsters which Cyn thought of buying for her son and herself. Well, I told her that hamsters in Penang are so much cheaper. PJ/KL price are rm15 and above wherelse PG price are rm7 for the normal hamsters. So rm15 can buy a pair of hamsters liau.
As we were walking towards old wing, walked pass Jusco supermarket, guess what I saw... TULIPS!I was so excited bout it... and I bought 3 stalks (rm4.99/stalk) and I MMS the pictures to BB. He asked me how much it cost per stalk.. then he asked me to buy 2 more stalks la.. he buy for me. Later we went for late lunch, my sis and her kids meet with us at the makan place. Know what happen, my niece was holding my tulips and I asked her to give me back. One of my tulips bud broke. I was so angry and sad.

My nephew in Isaac's sunshade.
Later after 6pm, I teman Cyn back to her car and also to take my sunshade which I left it there. I walked back to meet my sis and I told her I want to go back to Jusco to buy another stalk of tulip, since BB buying them for me. hehe. As I walk towards the stall, a malay lady saw my tulip bud broke and she asked me where I bought it. I told her from that stall lor and she's so kind, she change it for me. At that moment I felt so blessed and I bought another 3 more stalks, 1 stalk I asked my niece to give it to her mom as Mother's Day.

this is the additional tulips which I bought later.this one blooms like an orchid

Well, I did thought of using tulip as bridal bouquet but I think it'll be expensive lor. Sigh! I wish la.

Sick.. Sick.. Sick..

I've said it all on my title...
I'm SICK, on medical leave today.
Well, I just went to see the doctor la @ Mediviron @ Seapark. No choice cos that's the nearest panel clinic from my company's list. Today's GP look very leng chai leh... didn't manage to check on his name tag. shucks!
I've been having flu for bout 3 weeks but wasn't that bad. My flu got worst when I went to PG on Fri last week, nose block til can't breathe and slight cough. This nose block and coughing comes during sleeping time (maybe due to the air-cond).
But then... last night was worst ever. The weather was so hot when I reach PJ and my room feels like a warming up sauna, PG wasn't this hot. So I turn on the air-cond temporary to cool down the room and hoping to have a good sleep. Nope. Half my nose was block and the other was like partially block, so I was using my mouth to breathe instead. Not only that, I started coughing cos of the flu cos sucking all the mucus into my throat and that causes my throat to itch.
Was trying hard to sleep, and my eyes started to itch too, so I rub my eyes alittle and squeezing some of the Optrex eye lotion. The next morning (which is this morning), both my eyes was swollen (outer part was affected abit), the swollen was at the side of the cornea (like there's a layer of stuff at the side). It makes your eyes itchy and makes you wanna rub it. So this morning both my eyes were like couldn't open til I wash it with water. Guess I don't have to elaborate so much...
Didn't do much stuff at home. Cleaning my hermit crab's aquarium in the morning and I found a bigger aquarium (used to be my fish tank) thought wanna put them in a bigger space but my room no space for it, so I'll hold it till they gets bigger. Want to go buy a few more new shells for them, I'm yet to see them change their new shell (though I've watched it on YouTube but it's not as exciting as seeing your own hermit change shell).
So the whole day were like helping my mom to take care of my nephew awhile, watch dvd (Gabriel) and went online. That's all I did, can't go back to sleep cos its darn hot... sweaty.
I was checking a few stuff on the net, browsing thru my frens blogs and comparing air fare price (air asia, fire flyz & mas). I realise that Air Asia still has the lowest price among the others but compare to distance, Fire Flyz is nearer la. Still thinking on the flight cos need to see my sister whether she's interested or not. She want to bring her 2 kids to sit plane.
Ok. Adios! My eyes are getting sleepy and I'm rubbing my eyes again.. oh no!

My favourite!!!

this is one of my favourite food... "kai keok" (chicken feet). I had it on Saturday night with my BB cos he knows I love it. So we ordered wan tan mee, kai keok & fried oyster. All my favourite but I didn't take picture of the wan tan mee and fried oyster la.. cos its quite common. The sauce for this kai keok is just superb, shouldn't miss this.below is the picture with flash... too dark dy... cannot really see the kai keok. haha..

Thoughts are many...

I've been wanting to pen down a few things on a notebook but words seem to stuck somewhere, can't seem to get them out.
When I was in the bus (was on my way to PG), I brought along my notebook and thought I could either continue my HK series (which left 3 episodes) or I could you know type something out of me cos there's alot of things that I feel like pouring it out. Everyone in the bus is sound asleep and some were even snoring. I don't dare to open my notebook cos it's quite glaring to the people behind me (see how courtesy I am). ^_^
So I decided to listen to my mp3, uploaded a few song and a story on The Quest by Rick Joyner. Its a very old book about him going to Heaven & Hell. I've downloaded it long time ago but never had the time to really listen to it. So I thought I could kill some time listening to it (its bout 4+hrs of story telling).
Its quite interesting to listen to it rather than reading the book cos I think I'll be sleeping after 1 chapter. But well, I did fall asleep in between the story, so its like catching abit of here and there.
Every word that the person read, I'm there trying to imagine how its like to be where he is. Seeing all those demons and angels at war, Christians who are stumble and fall and being fed by the demons which we thought that God is feeding us with His Word. It makes me feel so gross when Rick said he saw Christians are feeding on the vomits of the vultures. All the deceptions and hatred and the pride that Christians often feel when they were high up.
And the story remindered me that we should always put on the cloaked of humility. He talks about eagles, angels and different mountains and even hidden rooms around the mountain side. It takes humbleness to see these rooms so that it'll take you to another level.
An eagle brought him to a room, small tiny entrance. He went in, and he was amazed by the different stones. He was captivated by the blue and green stones, he was refresh by the glory of God. As he was talking bout how wonderful the room is, I was thinking to myself "How I wish I could be there to see it for myself.. and talking to the eagles" And I thought of asking God, I hope to see His glory and His throne. I know what you thinking... its way TOO BIG to ask God for that... haha... how daring!
Well, I didn't finish listening to the story cos my mp3 battery dead. So sad. Will try to finish it by this week. Well, what I've type its not the whole story, its just abit of summary here and there.
Adios amigo... signin off from PG.

I'm a WRITER?!?!

Date: Apr 29, 08

This happen during staff prayer meeting on Tues morning. We have a visiting speaker and this guy was brought by Pr Jeffrey. He shared his testimony on Asian Beacon (march issue) bout his resurrection.
So I was excited to hear bout him and to really listen how and why God took him to heaven. He shorten his testimony during the Staff Prayer and added a few keys points and what God wants him to tell us.
For his full testimony I need to read back from the Asian Beacon... can't remember what he said. ^_^ Will do a short summary on his testimony later.
After his testimony, we prayed and he suddenly called me. He asked "Can I pray for you?" And he even asked pastor for permission. Well, he not only pray, he prophesy on me too. First part of my prophecy wasn't recorded. All I remember was, asked me to start jotting things down, compile all of it and I might release those books for the younger generation. Those books will be an encouragement to them. So I'm thinking to myself at that time... not to doubt the prophecy but having that weird feeling. How am I suppose to do that and I doubt my "england" ^_^ (feeling small).
Then the second part he said that I should start reading the Bible and I'll be reading it in a different way. As if I'm wearing a special glasses to read them. That's all I heard and remembered. I'm still in awe... thinking bout the title of this blog.. Am I gonna be a writer?!?!
Seriously... no idea.
