Trip to Kuala Lumpur and Medan!

2008-06-05T12:45:00.015+07:00

These are some pictures from the trip to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and Medan in Indonesia. My friends, Wi, Nan, Kong and I went to visit some of Wi's friends in Medan so we decided to stop over in Kuala Lumpur for a day and then travelled to Medan and stayed there for 2 days.

It was a fun trip actually and we have experienced a lot of new things there. One thing that we can't forget is that when the flight that we were supposed to be on from Medan to Kuala Lumpur was cancelled. It was scheduled to leave at 1040am. We needed to be on this flight because we had connecting flight back to Bangkok in KL. They offered us the flight at 2000pm which was very late and they didn't provide us any hotel in Kuala Lumpur because we would miss the flight. We decided to buy four new tickets from Medan to KL to catch the flight to Bangkok and it was supposed to depart at 3pm BUT!!!! one airplne from another airlines was broken in the midst of the runway so the airport was closed until 6pm. Then the flight that we just bought was also delayed to depart at 730pm so we needed to change flight from KL to Bangkok to the last flight out. We ran to the immigration in KL(we actually asked the officer at the immigration to go through the line of Malaysina passport, the officer said to me "okay you took your friends overthere, you talked a lot hahaha!!) then we took the taxi to the low-cost airlines terminal which is located about 10kms from the KL International terminal...the check-in counter was closed by the time we arrived there.. BUT!! They had to let us in because we told them that their flight was cancelled then we need to buy new tickets then they let us checked-in. It was a good experience actually. By the way, we got the refund for the original ticket by the help of our friends in Medan (the ticket was actually non-refundable) Thanks God for helping us get through all of those situations.. Here are some pics from the trip. sorry again that I took a long time to update this blog... hope you all enjoy the pics

Isaiah!!

2008-02-13T16:56:00.002+07:00

Isaiah, my nephew, now has grown up a lot since I saw him last year. He is growing up in a non-christian family. Please continue praying for him and his family that they will get to know Christ. Please also pray for my family too since they are not Christians. God has big plans for them I believe. Here are some pics of my nephew. It took a while till he remebered me since he was very young when I saw him last time hahaha!

a short story worth your read!

The Blind Horse

Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it. From a distance, each looks like every other horse. But if you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something quite amazing.

Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that he is blind His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has made a good home for him.

This alone is amazing.

If nearby and listening, you will hear the sound of a bell. Looking around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the smaller horse in the field. Attached to her halter is a small bell. It lets her blind friend know where she is, so he can follow her.

As you stand and watch these two friends, you'll see how she is always checking on him, and that he will listen for her bell and then slowly walk to where she is, trusting that she will not lead him astray. When she returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, she stops occasionally and looks back, making sure her friend isn't too far behind to hear the bell.

Like the owners of these two horses, God does not throw us away just because we are not perfect or because we have problems or challenges. He watches over us and even brings others into our lives to help us when we
are in need.

Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by the little ringing bell of those who God places in our lives. Other times we are the guide horse, helping others see.

Good friends are like this ...... ... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there.

Please listen for my bell and I'll listen for yours.

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly.... leave the rest to God.

Resurrection??

2006-12-16T08:47:00.000+07:00

My friend, Mike, emailed this sermon to me and I just wanted to post it for all of you. Hope you are built up by this.

Question : What does the resurrection of Jesus mean to me?????

ANSWER: That HE is ALIVE TODAY!!!!! Right here, right now, with me. This is why we MUST do everything for the Glory of Christ our Lord.

What does this mean to us? Paul says in Romans 6:8 : "Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him." So if you know you are going to live forever, how will this change your thinking?

If you know you are going to live forever:

1. You are not going to worry frantically or excessively about your health. Not to say you shouldnt look after yourself, eat healthy, or exercise - for our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit - But you will not be crazy with fear about remaining healthy. You will not be overly concerned with aging, or fear disease, or even death. For after this life, we shall receive a heavenly body, that WILL live forever.

2. You will not grieve the death of Loved ones, as those who have no hope. You will have hope that in the coming of our Lord Jesus you shall meet them again.
3. You will endure troubles with Patience. James says "Consider it pure joy my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverence. Perseverence must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

4. You will resist temptation. You will not strive to gain for yourself all your earthly desires. You will refuse the temptation because you are looking forward to walking on streets paved with Gold.

5. You wont be desparate to enjoy yourself NOW. You wont measure your lives by the pleasure you endulge in. Whether that is a: vacation, new clothes, partying, or anything done out of vain conceit or selfish ambition. Remember, the best is yet to be.

6. Give yourselves FULLY to the work of the Lord. Seek first HIS kingdom and HIS righteousness, and all these shall be added unto you. You will want to serve Him and to give yourselves as living sacrifices unto Him.

Wealth

2006-12-09T12:25:00.000+07:00

Subject: wealth

One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

" It was great, Dad."

"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.

"Oh yeah," said the son.

"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.

The son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."

The boy's father was speechless.

Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."

Isn't perspective a wonderful thing?

Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have instead of worrying about what we don't have. Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!

My first nephew: Isaiah

2006-09-01T10:50:00.000+07:00

hey all! sorry for not updated my blog for so long time. hope you all are doing well. This is a pic of my nephew, Isaiah. He is my first nephew and I got to name him too so I named him Isaiah which comes from the bible and it means 'Salvation of God'. It's amazing because my brother and my sister in-law like this name and they also know the meaning of this name and that it comes from the Bible. Please pray for God work in him and his parents since they are not Christians. God bless you all.
