Are Your Savings Enough To Last A Lifetime?

2011-06-10T07:25:00.000-07:00

Maintain a comfortable lifestyle well into the future.

Young people nowadays are more concerned with living life luxuriously in the present than saving for their future needs.

However, the unexpected can happen at any time. Our jobs, families, and even physical health can present us with problems that we are not financially prepared for. That is when we will need to rely on our savings.

Everyone has to plan their budget and save at different stages of their lives. Savings can be used for a rainy day, tiding through times of illnesses, getting married, or even for the bigger things in life like tending to our children’s education needs, buying new home, and retirement.

According to recent survey, only 34% of Malaysians are putting aside money regularly for their retirement funds, much less their other future needs. *They seek material satisfaction instead of deferring their spending and fail to plan for wealth accumulation. Such a lifestyle will leave people ill-prepared for inflation and rising medical costs.

Inflation itself can be another intimidating factor. Today, three meals will cost someone RM20 a day, but in 20 years’ time, with inflation rate of 6% a year, those same three meals can cost up to RM64.** While this figure is suggested by our government to be 3,2% to 4.8%, wealth advisors have found that the figure can go up to 6% in urban areas.

EPF alone is not enough to tide most through retirement years.

In a recent EPF finding, it is reported that 60% of those withdrew all their contributions at 55 spent all of it within 3 years, leaving them destitute. With the life expectancy of men being 71 and women being 76, the average man now can go through the last 16 years of his life without income.***

But what can we do to avoid such a fate? The solution is simple: Start saving early. It is possible to plan our lifestyles in such a way where we can have what we want and still strengthen the bank account. From daily efforts like cutting back on our expenditure, and paying attention to our unnecessary splurging, we can plan our financial futures.

What Is Your Plan For Managing Your Finances?
Don’t put it off. The earlier you start, the more you stand to gain.

Kaka

2009-06-03T01:10:00.000-07:00

Kaka? Who is him?

Haha.. Presently, Kaka is one of the best footballer in the world together with Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. However in my perceptions and opinions, he is the best simply with one reason. He is a very devoted Christian! He always let everyone know he is the son of God through many ways during and just after a football matches in the stadium. Most of the matches are telecasted to almost every part of the world. The saddess part is he is still not a Manchester United's player which I hope he is.

Below are description on Kaka relationship with the real and creator of this universe, Heavenly Father which I quote from wikipedia.

Kaka

Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite (Portuguese pronunciation: [xiˈkaɾdʊ iˈzɛksõᵑ dʊs‿ˈsɐ̃ᵑtʊs ˈleɪ̯t͡ʃɪ]; born April 22, 1982), known as Kaká, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as forward and midfielder for Italian Serie A club Milan and the Brazilian national team. He was the recipient of both the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards in 2007, and was named in the 2008 Time 100. As of February 2009, Kaká along with Internazionale's Zlatan Ibrahimović are the highest salaried football players in the world.

Early life

Kaká was born in Brasilia to Simone Cristina Santos Leite and Bosco Izecson Pereira Leite (a civil engineer). Although most Brazilian footballers come from poor families, there are exceptions and Kaká is one of them as he was born in a relatively rich family that encouraged him to focus on both school and football at the same time. His younger brother, Rodrigo (known as Digão), is also a professional footballer.

When he was seven, his family moved to São Paulo. His school had arranged him in a local youth club called "Alphaville," who qualified to the final in a local tournament. There he was discovered by Brazilian side São Paulo, who offered an assignment.

At the age of fifteen, Kaká suffered a career-threatening and possibly paralysis-inducing spinal fracture as a result of a swimming pool accident , but remarkably made a full recovery. He attributes his recovery to God and has since tithed his income to his church.

Personal Life and Religion

A devout evangelical Christian, Kaká became engrossed in religion at twelve: "I learnt that it is faith that decides whether something will happen or not." He removed his jersey to reveal an "I Belong to Jesus" T-shirt and openly engaged in prayer moments after the final whistle of Brazil's 2002 World Cup, and Milan's 2004 Scudetto and 2007 Champions League triumphs. He also had the same phrase, along with "God Is Faithful" stitched onto the tongues of his boots. During the postmatch celebration following Brazil's 4–1 win over Argentina in the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup final, he and several of his teammates wore T-shirts that read "Jesus Loves You" in various languages.

Kaká is a member of the organization Atletas de Cristo ("Athletes of Christ"). His goal celebration consists of him pointing to the sky as a gesture of thanks to God. Kaká's favourite music is gospel, and his favourite book is the Bible. Since November 2004, he has served as an Ambassador Against Hunger for the United Nations' World Food Programme, the youngest to do so at the time of his appointment.

Kaká was sworn in as an Italian citizen on 12 February 2007. He features prominently in Adidas advertising and also has a modeling contract with Armani, the latter preventing him from appearing in a photo collection alongside his Milan teammates that was published by Dolce & Gabbana in early 2007.

He married his childhood sweetheart Caroline Celico on 23 December 2005 at the evangelical Reborn in Christ Church in São Paulo. Their first child, Luca Celico Leite, was born in São Paulo on June 10, 2008.

Haha.. and according to Kaka.. after retire, he may consider to become a Pastor in Brazil! Glory to God!

26 Hour 30 Minute to go...

2009-05-15T03:41:00.000-07:00

Time is just running too slow... Can't wait to see this celebration from Man Utd... This time it would be more special and meaningful than previous 17 top flight league titles... Coz Man Utd will be equaling the 18 most top flight league titles currently holding by Man Utd's arch rival Liverpool...

Liverpool has been holding this record for 19 years... And I am strongly believe tomorrow Man Utd will share the record with them... Benitez, Captain Gerrard and co will becoming Liverpool first ever manager and players to see Man Utd equalling their long and proud record... What a shame that this has to happen on Steven Gerrard!!!

Back to Man Utd!!! After the match against Arsenal, you will becoming the best club in England together with Liverpool!!! Hahaha... Hopefully 19th will be coming next year...

Too bad, I am going to miss the celebration but then I will be looking forward to Liverpool's game on Sunday... I would love to see the faces of the Scousers!!! Sure very funny and exciting...

26 Hour 30 Minute to go...

Can't wait to watch this match later... and and... I really wish the broadcaster can show live picture on the faces of the Liverpool fans when Manchester United defeated Wigan Athletic... Hohoho..

The scientists have warned you and us... the signals are very clear out there... and yet you assume nothing is going to happen... I can only say "YOU ARE VERY STUBBORN AND STUPID WHEN COME TO THE GLOBAL WARMING ISSUE!!!" because of your stubborn!!! we have to suffer!!! So 13th May should be remember as a day to condemn these leaders!!!

什么是豬流感（H1N1)？

2009-04-28T00:51:00.000-07:00

‧是一種奇特的混合體

‧包含人流感病毒、禽流感病毒和豬流感病毒的基因片段

‧染病者最初出現類似普通流感症狀，包括發燒、咳嗽、喉嚨痛、氣促、肌肉和關節疼痛，在5天內會惡化成嚴重呼吸道疾病

‧主要受感染者是年輕人

‧暫時不清楚病毒為何會人傳人，專家呼吁民眾儘量避免到人多地方；切勿與人握手、親嘴或搭地鐵

‧美國CDC證實特敏福及樂感清可有效對抗病毒。不過，由於H1N1人流感對特敏福的抗藥性很高，若新病毒與人類或豬隻混合，可能會對特敏福產生抗藥性

‧目前仍未能確定流感疫苗能否抵禦這種新豬流感病毒，須再作進一步研究，但當局強調吃豬肉製品不會感染豬流感

H1N1 Swine Flu FAQ

2009-04-28T00:44:00.000-07:00

What is swine influenza?

It is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A strains of the influenza virus. It regularly causes high flu outbreaks in pigs but with low death rates. There are four main sub-types of the virus, but the most recent isolated influenza viruses from pigs have been H1N1 viruses.

How does it spread?

Swine flu viruses do not typically infect humans though they do occur through close proximity or contact with infected pigs or contaminated areas. Cases of human-to-human spread have been documented.

What are the symptoms?

The symptoms are similar to those of regular flu:
- Fever
- Lethargy
- Runny nose
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Lack of appetite
- Vomiting and diarrhoea in some cases.

How common is swine flu infection in humans?

In the past reports of about one human swine flu virus infection had been received every one to two years in the United States. From December 2005 till February 2009, 12 cases have been reported.

Has this strain of flu been seen before?

No. Flu mutates constantly, so it is common for new strains to emerge. Pigs can also be infected with both human and avian influenza, and the current circulating swine flu strain appears to contain genetic elements from all three.

Can swine flu be treated with antiviral drugs and flu vaccine?

The swine flu is resistant to two common drugs – Amantadine and Rimantadine. The H1N1 swine flu viruses are very different from human H1N1 viruses. Therefore, vaccines for human seasonal flu would not provide protection. However, a “seed vaccine” has been specifically tailored to this swine flu and will be manufactured if officials deem it necessary.

Can people catch swine flu by eating pork?

No. Swine influenza viruses are not transmitted by food. Eating properly handled and cooked pork and pork products is safe. Cooking pork to an internal temperature of 70ºC and above kills the swine flu virus.

How long is someone with swine flu considered contagious?

People with swine influenza virus infection should be considered potentially contagious as long as they are symptomatic; possibly for up to seven days following the onset of the illness. Children, especially younger children, might potentially be contagious for longer periods.

What can I do to protect myself from the swine flu?

There is no vaccine available right now to protect against the swine flu.

However, you can help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses like influenza by:

- Covering your nose and mouth with a disposable tissue or handkerchief when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the waste basket after you use it.

- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also helpful

- Try to avoid close contact with sick people. - If you get sick with influenza, stay at home and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.

- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

- Consult your nearest healthcare facility if you think you have any of the symptoms.

Which countries have had cases of the swine flu?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has confirmed human cases of swine flu in Mexico, the United States, Canada and Spain. Only Mexico has reported deaths from the new strain.

Are there any travel restrictions or advisories for Malaysians?

The Health Ministry on April 27 advised Malaysians against travelling to certain places in the United States, Mexico and Canada which have been affected by the swine flu.

What precautions are in place in Malaysia?

- The Health Ministry’s operations room in Putrajaya has started a 24-hour monitoring of the situation. The public can call 03-8881 0200/300 for enquiries.

- Those returning from Latin American countries and found to have flu-like symptoms will be quarantined.

- Health Ministry officials are conducting health screenings on passengers arriving from the United States.

- Thermal scanners will be placed at international airports to speed up the screening process for swine flu.

- Public and private medical practitioners have been instructed to report to the district health office any patient with influenza-like illnesses or severe pneumonia symptoms and who had travelled to the affected countries after April 17.

- Owners of the 797 pig farms nationwide have been ordered to immediately contact the nearest Veterinary Services Department office or the Animal Disease Control Centre if their workers or animals show symptoms linked to the swine flu.

Where can I get more information?

For more information, go to the Health Ministry (www.moh.gov.my) or call the Ministry's hotline at (03) 8881-0200/300.

Kuching 30-Hour Famine 2009

2009-03-23T07:38:00.000-07:00

Simulator game challenge...

Quizzes time with Malaysia Idol Winner, Danell Lee

Talented kid performing 'face changing' skill

All the performing artist singing the 30-Hour Famine Official Song

My group members...

My group members during the last few hours of the camp...

Closing ceremony and countdown to the end of 30-Hour Famine by singing the official song

Posing after the closing ceremony with our certs...

This is our foods to break fast..

I've got the power!!!

That's sum up my participation in last Saturday and Sunday 30-Hour Famine held in Kuching for the first time... My participation in this meaningful charity and awareness event has shown that I've got the ability, strength (physically and mentally)and desire to complete the requirement in this event. That is to fast for 30 hours which in fact I have fasted for 32 hours because of my last meal which was 2 hours before the official fasting time begun.

During the 30 hours fasting... I have been arranged to experience the hunger experience by the peoples in war zone, natural disaster, poverty countries in a well designed activities that really brought us to the real situation... the activities for first day included ice breaking to bring me to better know my group members, introduction to World Vision, simulator game challenge, quizzes, concert. Then the next day, second day, the activities included yoga exercise (shocking), sunday worship (conducted by District Pastor, Rev Ting and his Ching Kwong Methodist Church's brothers and sisters), introduction to Kuching's local charity organizations (Breakthrough, Habitats and can't remember the 3rd organization), simulator game challenge 2, watching an Iraqian-Iranian's award winning movie (Turtle Can Fly), drama presentation, sharing by World Vision's volunteers, and lastly closing ceremony and countdown to the end of 30-Hour Famine.

There were many activities were designed for me and those participants to involve in, but those really caught my attention were activities such as simulator games challenge 1 and 2, the movie, the Sunday Service, and of course the process of the whole event la... but i will only describe the simulator games coz it was really the highlight of the events cause it brought us into the real situation in those poverty affected places and countries.

The simulator game challenge 1 is to put us into a real situation after a 7 richter scale earthquake strike us. The whole game really brought us into the real post-earthquake situation. First, my family need to bring all the family members to a government temporary setup relieve centre to register names to the government and to get US$10 aid, the situation is very tense cause everyone rushing to the place. Pushing and pulling is unavoidable and we have to make sure our family members don't break-up during the pushing and pulling situation. If not, we are not allow to register and get the government US$10. After registered my family members and get the US$10,we need to build to house to accommodate 7 family members. We use newspaper and chair to build our 2 houses. We also need to make sure each house has at least 1 family member to stay inside and take care of the house from destroyed by the enforcement officer which is police. Haha, my family to eager to earn money and getting injection and food till our houses were destroyed by the police. Because we are building house illegally. At the same time, we also need to make sure everyone get an injection to prevent us from contacting with diseases and also to get free food from the government. The queue is very very long. We also need to raise some money in order to survive in this very difficult condition. As a result, apart from the clean and legal businesses and employment opportunities, many illegal businesses existed like drug trafficking, prostitution, child labour... so in order to raise money to feed all the family members, some peoples decided to use the shortest way just for survivor... So the whole game really expose us to experience the real life of a disaster places all over the world trying to survive that we can see from newspaper and TV but never able to really feel and experience it.

As for simulator game challenge 2, the game's objective is to bring us into a real situation in Calcutta, India to really experiencing how difficult it is to earn money to feed our family members in order for survival. The game need us to produce stars and then sold to the businesses and our earning will have to depend on the economic's theory of demand-supply. The price might go up if demand over supply or the price might come down if demand less than supply... and the price is keep fluctuating.. and then sometime when the business owners change their requirement on the size of the stars, it can be very frustrating because of the hardworks put on the stars became useless and need to produce the new stars according to the requirement by the market... the whole game really exposed us to the poverty peoples in the world on how they were very weak and have to allow the market to control their earning by the big and rich business owners...

In the end, the games really allow us to get into the real life of those poverty affected peoples all over the world... I have to say, we are very very lucky to be living in where are now.. we have many things which many poverty affected peoples don't have and yet we never satisfy with it but complain a lot. We really have to feel satisfy to what we have and to thanks God for what we have. At the same time, we must always remember those in needs, those unlucky peoples all over the world by helping in the we can help such as through donation, go to there to help them, telling and spreading love to everyone, touching and influencing our friends and anyone to come out and help those in needs.

So if there is another 30-Hour Famine in Kuching next year or next time... Grab the opportunity to participate the event.. Coz We've Got the Power!!!

I'm OFF again for 30-Hour Famine

2009-03-20T07:24:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow Saturday 12pm til Sunday 6pm, I am going to disconnect myself from the world of Internet again...

This time, I am going to participate in a camp called "30-Hour Famine"... So... I will set to face another important test with Father in Heaven will be greatly helping me go through the whole activities of 30 hours with foods...

Don't worry, i will pass the test without much problem except donno how to sleep.. Hahaha... coz i don have thin mattress to bring... maybe just sleep on the floor...

柠檬水 & Lemon Peng 是不相同

2009-03-16T06:51:00.000-07:00

哈罗！我会来了。。

上星期六我去到了诗巫。。今天中午才会到家。。

在那三天的时间里，我的任务首先是要先做一些的礼貌拜访，然后是到一个地方做宣言。。剩余时间便用在街上走走，吃吃一些当地著名的食物。。当然也会叫一些的饮料。。那么，LEMON PENG @ 柠檬水是我其中的最爱。。可是呢，偏偏就是这LEMON PENG @ 柠檬水出了一些的状况，什么状况呢？

原来，在这地方，当你叫一杯的LEMON PENG的话，你其实是在叫ICE LEMON TEA。。哈哈哈。。更好笑的是，当我的另外一位朋友叫ICE LEMON TEA时，他的确得的就是ICE LEMON TEA！我不服气，所以，我接下来在其他的咖啡店还是叫一杯的LEMON PENG两次。。结果不用多说。。一直到了昨天下午，其中一位的弟兄就一华语叫了柠檬水。。WOW！WHAT A SHOCK！他既然叫的就是我们在古晋所叫的LEMON PENG！！！

那时，在我的脑海里就作了我人生的一个定论！LEMON PENG 和柠檬水是不同的。。我也得到另外一个定论，这定论只在诗巫成立而已！

所以，我能如何呢？就是哈哈哈喽！！！

诗巫十大卫理教会(1)

2009-03-02T07:29:00.000-08:00

2008年平均有1700人崇拜的诗巫卫理教会？这是最多人崇拜的教会也是排第一的。

平均有450人崇拜人的教会呢？在诗巫是排第九或第十的也就是我那将要去拜访和筹款的教会。
这450崇拜人数的教会名字呢？别问我。我也不知道。因为太多名字，一时记不起来。
我只知道上帝安排一个按照上帝旨意当中认为最适合我去筹款的教会。可能是我对天父的信心才让我可以去十大排行榜中最小的教会。真是感谢我的天父。

有人欢喜，当然也有人愁！哈哈哈。。。因为很多弟兄姐妹也有参与的也想去那在名单里最小的一间。我还记得昨晚我说我要去最小的一间，他们的反应是“哪里可以？”但是，刚才就有人就告诉我，我被送去十大最小的一间。那时的感觉是“感谢天父！”。

A Christian

2009-02-24T19:47:00.000-08:00

Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in Houston , Texas . Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, 'You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.' Then he thought, 'Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet.'

When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much change '

The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new preacher in town?'

'Yes' he replied.

'Well, I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I'll see you at church on Sunday.'

When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, 'Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter.'

Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Christians, and will put us to the test! Always be on guard -- and remember -- You carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself 'Christian.'

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a reminder. So, I choose to forward it to you - my friend. God bless you; I hope you are having a wonderful day!

If you don't pass this on to anybody, nothing bad will happen; but, if you do, you will have ministered to someone.

The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not PROTECT you...

Stay FAITHFUL and Be GRATEFUL!

Malaysia Counting Down to Earth Hour

16 Feb 2009

Kuala Lumpur – Imagine a major part of Kuala Lumpur turning its lights out almost simultaneously for one hour. A city in darkness would definitely get the town talking on what all the fuss is about. On 28 March, Malaysia will be taking part in a global movement to stand united with 1000 cities and its peoples for Earth Hour by switching off non-essential lights for one hour. Earth Hour, which will take place on 28 March 2009, 8.30pm to 9.30pm (local time), is aimed at promoting awareness to fight against climate change.

"The act of switching non-essential lights is a simple and effortless step that every person can take that can trigger a huge positive impact against climate change. The message we are trying to give is that every person, by taking a small action such as turning off a light, can make a huge difference in the fight against climate change", said WWF Malaysia Chief Executive Officer, Dato' Dr Dionysius Sharma.

Earth Hour is an initiative started by World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) in 2007 in Sydney , Australia . Last year 50 million people across 35 countries took part in this movement. This year WWF is targeting 1 billion people worldwide - individuals, government and corporations alike and WWF Malaysia is joining the ranks to lead Malaysians to be part of this global action. "Humanity is not in a position to allow our activities to warm up the planet. Much is at stake; biodiversity, our loved ones and ourselves. Let's start with an hour and stop only when we have created hope for planet Earth". Dato' Dr Dionysius Sharma further said.

Todays launch kicks off WWF Malaysia's drive to muster the support and participation of Malaysians, targeting at least 5 million individuals and corporations as well as building owners and the government.

One of Kuala Lumpurs most iconic landmarks, The KL Tower has graciously offered their support to the Earth Hour movement by providing the venue for the launch of Earth Hour today as well as for the Earth Hour event on 28 March. "Menara Kuala Lumpur, under it's Tower of Hope programme, is committed to raise awareness on climate change and being the first monument in Malaysia to participate for this cause, we would like to call upon other buildings in this country to do the same." said Dato' Zulkifli Mohamad, Chief Executive Officer of Menara Kuala Lumpur.

Dato' Dr Dionysius Sharma added "We are ecstatic that KL Tower has pledged their support for Earth Hour and we are hoping to get our world famous KLCC Twin Towers to be involved as well. Other iconic landmarks around the world such as the Taipei 101 tower in Taiwan and Dubai 's Burj Al Arab have already pledged their support for this cause".

Meanwhile local celebrities have also joined hands together with WWF Malaysia to lend their support to drive this cause to the masses. Among celebrities and personalities who have confirmed their participation for Earth Hour are Zainal Abidin, Alex Yoong, Karamjit Singh, Stephanie Chai, Lina Teoh, Shebby Singh, Daphne Iking, Sharifah Amani, Sarimah, Sazzy Falak, Rina Omar, Aishah Sinclair and Lyn Lim. These celebrities will participate in promotional events leading up to Earth Hour. Malaysia 's very own famous film director, Yasmin Ahmad has been appointed to as the Ambassador of Earth Hour. Her appointment is very appropriate with the movement's theme of unity as her films echoes the same message as well.

Even individuals have come forward to provide rallying assistance. Thanks to the generous effort of one of Malaysia 's corporate leaders – Dato' Johan Raslan President of ICRM, many companies have come forward to pledge their participation in Earth Hour. Dato Johan said, "Supporting Earth Hour by switching off the lights is so simple to do. It is just a small step in the longer journey to raise awareness of climate change. By participating, corporate Malaysia is sending a resounding message that we are serious about sustainability".

On the media front ASTRO, Media Prima and RTM – pledging to provide air time to run Earth Hour commercials and promotions while at the same time dedicating slots in their talk show programs to promote this initiative, with 8TV pledging to halt transmission of all programs for an hour. "8tv is honored to be part of this momentous event. As a leading media company, and more importantly as citizens of the world, it is our responsibility to help raise awareness towards the need to take action against climate change. 8tv is committed to the message of Earth Hour and will take its first step by reducing broadcasting time by one hour starting from the 1st of March 2009. And in support of Earth Hour 2009, for the first time ever in tv broadcasting history, 8tv will shut down tv transmission from 8.30pm – 9.30pm on March 28. This transmission shutdown, done during our peak prime-time hour, will send a strong message to all Malaysians about the need to slow down climate change." said it's 8TV's Chief Executive Officer, En. Ahmad Izham.

Earth Hour has been a huge success – first in Sydney alone in 2007, and then globally last year and it is a testament to show that the simple act of people switching off their lights can make a resounding statement for a worthy cause.

Malaysians from all walks of life are strongly encouraged to be a part of this global movement and make a difference in the world that we live in. Sign up for Earth Hour at www.earthhour.org/malaysia and make a pledge to switch off your lights now.

Happy CNY with God's wonder work to share with all of U

2009-02-05T01:20:00.000-08:00

Hello little brothers and sisters...

First, Happy CNY to all of u, Secondly, about my quiet blog.. sorry ya.. sorry to those always come n check my blog bout found out the update is forever the same... Haiz.. wat to do la.. i am very bz ma.. Hahaha...

So this will be my 1st update for 2009... And would like to share this testimonial i read from English newspaper... It's about God with His merciful work on one of the famous footballer currently playing trade with Arsenal in English Premier League...

His testimonial read like this...

Arsenal forward Emmanuel Adebayor has told how his mother was left praying for divine intervention when her son could not walk at the age of four - and claims it arrived in the form of a football in a church yard.

The Togo international was laying down in the grounds of a church his mother had turned to in her time of crisis when an errant ball landed near him and he was able to raise himself and give chase.

“I did not walk for the first four years of my life," says Adebayor.

“My mum took me to Nigeria, Lagos, Ghana and all the villages in Africa but nothing happened.

“It got to the stage where they took me to a church and told my mum they’d pray for me for a week. They said that, if I did not walk by the end of that week, it meant I would never walk.

“It was a strange thing to say and you can understand why Mum was crying.

“They started praying at midnight on the Sunday. All the week, I’m not walking. By Saturday midnight my mum was all over the place, crying. For her, it was all over. She had taken me everywhere in Africa and nothing had worked.

“Anyway, I was in the church laying down and, around nine or ten o’clock on the Sunday morning, I could hear children playing outside.

“Suddenly somebody kicked a ball into the church. And the first person to stand up and run was me, because I wanted to get that ball.

“My mum was afraid because she had never even seen me walking and suddenly I was running after a ball. And all the people in the church who had been praying for me told my mum, ‘Your son is walking because of football. It must mean the boy has football in his blood.’

“It’s an amazing story. But it is true. My mum has told me about it all my life.”

That pivotal moment in Adebayor's life has left him with a close affinity to the church and he remains a strongly religious man.

“Everything I do in life I put in the hands of God, my creator," says Adebayor.

“He gave me the chance to be where I am today and He’s the one that can take it all away from me. So at the team hotel, I pray before sleeping and I pray again in the morning. There is nothing more important for me than God.”

“Eight years ago I was earning pennies. I know what it is to have nothing. I know where I came from and will always remember that.”

Wow! Glories to God in Heaven!!!

My Day

2008-12-20T21:21:00.000-08:00

Today is 21st Dec 2008...

And so far so good.. Especially last night..

Before that, it was totally a wet wet day.. Not just for last night.. the days before that, it were raining too.. from morning to evening and from evening to morning in the next day.. until 20th Dec 2008.. If we do proper analysis based on last 3-4 days weather condition.. It is an easy conclusion to conclude that last night will surely raining.. Thus, the Kuching District Christmas Parade will either be cancelled or held in wet evening.. However it didn't happened..

I guess many Christians must have done a collective prayers everywhere and anytime from morning to the last second before the parade started, during and also after the parade.. And i am one of the prayer and i even sms my friends asking them to pray for the Christmas Parade.. Hahaha.. Of course there were influences behind it.. First one is surely the HolY Spirit, second one is my friend Sharon (You know who you are), and brother from my own church.. Because of this 3 influences, i've decided praying is the most powerful tool.. and i even asked Sharon to pary and sms my sms to her friends... hahaha..

In the end... What can i say? God is always listening and He accepted our prayers and He granted us what a clear and peaceful weather.. although when i have reached the Cats Statue near to the Holiday Inn.. It was started to rain again.. but then i heard a sister suddenly pray to the God asking God to continue give us fine weather which i later also followed her act by praying to the God.. and yet another prayers granted by God.. The rain was stopped... and the rain stop until midnite before it started to fall down again which by that time... everyone is zzz at home... Hahaha...

What a micracle God has done for us which totally felt and experienced by me and many brothers n sisters from churches in Kuching... Glory Glory to God!!!

And to Sharon, shocking ler? suddenly i decided to blog about my experince in life... Hahaha.. so temporary don't have fact related info to share.. Hahaha..

And to my honourable readers, presently i still recovering from flu and coagh... and i believe God will cure me in time for me to be able to help the choir sing a Christmas song for the God in Heaven... Hahaha.. Pray pray pray...

Ohya, i will offline from msn for 30 hours +++.. coz i will be goin to Asajaya around 3pm later...
and to friends from Meng En Methodist Church.. going to meet u peoples soon... Hahahaha...

So till then...

Happy Dongzhi!!!

Dear Friends,

Pls up-date new Christmas song

for this coming new year 2009.

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry

You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town.

It's hitting you once,
It's hitting you twice
It doesn't care if you've been careful and wise
Recession is coming to town

It's worthless if you've got shares
It's worthless if you've got bonds
It's safe when you've got cash in hand
So keep cash for goodness sake, HEY
You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town!

Finance products are confusing
Finance products are so vague
The banks make you bear the cost of risk

So keep out for goodness sake,OH
You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry
You'd better keep cash
I'm telling you why:
Recession is coming to town.

You'd better watch out
You'd better not cry

Toyota

2008-11-03T06:08:00.001-08:00

Toyota!!!

Hate this name at least for this coming days or weeks... Lousy Toyota is what I can mention here... Sorry Toyota owners!!! Toyota is really lousy... Just 2 more corners, and yet the popular Toyota in Malaysia can't defend their 5th position from Lewis Hamilton's Mclaren Mercedes... Before the weekend, I am very optimistic as Felipe Massa that he will win the Brazilian GP and Hamilton will once again condemn in last GP of the year which was the World Championship decider GP... This belief was almost realise during the last 2 laps when Vettel of Toro Rosso if Im not wrong suddenly able to overtake Hamilton to become 5th and then he overtake the Timo Clok of Toyota... But the dream is shattered by the 4th place Toyota which was at 5th place when entered final lap. The Toyota was overtook... No speed at all...

After mentioned so many times about Toyota, this is the toyota i meant...

I can't believe this... I watched until 2:30am and a Toyota damaged my hope and my wish to see Felipe Massa to succeed Airlton Senna as the new F1 World Champions from Brazil. Not only that, the Toyota has shattered the dreams and hopes of the whole Brazillians... After the race was ended just after that stupid last 2 corners, I immediately thought that Toyota is the team that suppose to goes bankrupt and not Honda Super Aguri... Haiz...

Toyota will be in my mind for few more days and weeks to come... Massa is the true World Champions for 2008!!!

SHAME ON YOU, TOYOTA F1 TEAM!!!
