261 days to Cambodia Medical Mission (GMC)

304 days left 4 me to meet the person


What else are there to countdown? This is fun...and scary too...hmm....

I'm feeling rather tired lately...could it be the sign of "old" age? ...haha... *sigh*

Partly it was because....

The haze in Miri is back....and according to one of my friend's blog, the BURNING WAS LEGAL!!
THEY HAVE LICENSE TO BURN!!!
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT???? Ini betul-betul MALAYSIA BOLEH!

I could hardly breathe...both ways, with and without mask. This is craziness!

....and.....

I'm working "overtime"...arriving school at 6:15am....going back home by 3:30pm.

....and....

too many things on my brain and I'm in the process of completing each one of them ... 5 different sets of exam papers, Sekolah Minggu in Tudan starting this Sunday and nothing prepared yet, my car servicing is one month over due, a report almost forgotten, individualised education plan for 15 students due end of March, holiday and BK....

But I have nothing to complain....this shows that I am alive and well...and I'm loving every second of it no matter how tired I am. Even if I am not satisfied, I don't have the right to complain at all for the fact that....I DON'T EVEN DESERVE THIS LIFE I AM LIVING AND I SHOULD BE DEAD LONG LONG TIME AGO!

Who could imagine what life was for me? ....haha.... but look, now...I'm happy and free...whee!

I'm simply touched by His love, goodness and faithfulness; and amazed by His glory, grace and majesty.

This life is not only to be treasured but to be shared with everyone.

I'm still believing that this is the year of having and sharing LOVE, JOY and PEACE....

Di antara lautan, kehidupan manusia
Ku hanyalah bagaikan sebutir pasir sahaja
Namun Kau mengenalku, Engkau tahu namaku
Bahkan sebelum aku dilahirkan
Kau pilihku, Kau panggilku
Kau bentukku sempurna
Indah pada waktunya
Walau sakit, namun senang akhirnya
Sebutir pasir pun menjadi mutiara.

It's March...arghh....2 months just flew past me.

Just a reminder to me myself and you, it's the Lent Season...a time to "extra" reflect on the cross and be ready to face Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Lately, "HOME" became a topic and something which I've learned.

One said... "Home is where we are at any God appointed destination."

Another said.... "Home is where the heart is. Where is your heart?"

Both really made me think....

"Can I called Miri my "home"? Where is my heart?"

All these while I've known 3 homes... one,my final "Home"...Heaven. Two, Padang Midin, and third, C3.

I've never ever thought of Miri as my "home", I've known it as a familiar place where my mission field is situated...a place where God had sent me to carry out His work. A place where God taught me many things about life and such...a place where I've grown...a place simply so different from Penisular....the people, the culture. Now I have another "home" if I were to agree with 1st statement which I do agree, Miri is my second "home".

I've never know where exactly my heart is. My heart is so torn in between so many places. My heart is in Sarawak but my heart is also in Penisular and my heart is also in Cambodia. So, where is it exactly?

South China Sea!!!

Hmm....

Who cares??? I'll be back "home" soon...whichever "home", it does not matter, I'm just simply happy for all except to be stuck in Miri.

Like Eagle

I am reminded of the height from which I have fallen and how deep God went to bring me out and how high He had brought me up.

I was dirt filthy but He received me with arms wide opened and He cleansed me, gave me new clothes, and said nothing, except, "Do not worry. I am here with you."

As far as the east is from the west and as high as the heavens are from the earth, that's how far He had thrown away my sins from me.

I should have been dead long time ago....I do not deserved anything I had been blessed with now but yet, He chose me, and called me His beloved.

Why should I be proud? Why should I complain about anything? Why should I be angry and upset?

This life I do not deserved, this life I might not be living it now, but He let me live.

This life, I owe it all unto Him.

I am given this 2nd chance to live, I will definitely not waste it.

This life I live, I am living solely for Him who had brought me out of the darkness of my own shadow.

No one would understand except Him, of the "height" which I have fallen, deep down into the pit, that's where He went to bring me out and like an eagle, that's how high He had brought me.

I owe You every single life of mine, Lord!

Thank You!

So, let me say how much I love You
With all my heart I long for You
For I am caught in this passion of knowing
This endless love I've found in You
And the depth of grace
The forgiveness found
To be called a child of God
Just makes me say how much I love You
O my Saviour, my Lord and Friend

School had started once again after the CNY break for one week. For once, I was glad to be "home". For once, I looked forward to going to work and meeting all my students. Though they may be many of them this year, I still do miss each one of them. No matter how they can break my nerve, I still do love them very much. As dear as they are to God, that's how dear they are to me. =)

Another part of me is looking forward to the next holiday, the holiday that I will be back to my another "home"...hmm...I have so many "homes"...cool... A holiday with a difference...a change of digits, a new start, a renewal and a....err...dunno. :P

I've learnt many things lately. One thing that came to my mind as I hear what people are going through in life as Christian is God guided our steps as well as our stops. I've lost or rather neglect my gift as "human scanning machine". I tend to look at people at a glance and think they are just doing fine, because they look fine but I've never look close enough to see through their eyes and their hearts where they are just simply going through many things which we will not see or know unless they tell us.

In ministry, we tend to think that we need to do and do and do and do...and that's our ministry. We soon feel tired and everything seem to go no where, we want to give up. It's all because we failed to realise that sometimes we need to stop and reflect upon Him who is the Master of all ministries. Who are we serving after all? Who's job is it after all?

Can we like...err...work along side with Him rather than work for Him, thinking that we are in control of the whole work and situations and problems?

Praying, resting, waiting, trusting-
These are words that tell a story;
As we wait for God to lead us,
He responds, "Just seek My glory." -Hess

Time is passing fast. Today shall be my last day in the land of "Food Paradise". I'll be off back to my mission field once again. I'm glad and yet I'm sad, but glad as well..haha...confusing statement.

I'm glad that I'll be back to my mission ground, that's where I belong in this world, back to work, seeing my colleagues and students and out of boredom and a place so alien and handicapped; and yet I am sad I'll be leaving my mom behind and spending my final days of holiday where I could wake up whatever time I would like to and sleep whatever time I want to; but glad I'll be back again to my "homeland" in 3 weeks time, a year older.

Again, I was able to get my collection in an almost complete set... I managed to purchase Somebody Else's Kids by Torey Hayden. I still need one more of her books to complete the whole collection...Murphy Boy (I just ordered it from Acmamall.com.my). So, it's complete, yay!

Next, Cathy Glass...my next target author...so far, I've bought and read 2 of her books, Damaged, The Saddest Girl in the World and...this shall be the next for me to read...Cut, with a few more to purchase...Hidden, The Girl in the Mirror, Kids in Care, Eclipse of the Heart and A Dreadful Mistake.


Finally, I managed to get my Garam Masala...here come new recipe...hehe...Chicken Masala, Beef Masala, Vegetable Masala...and everything Masala...hahaha...

2nd Day of CNY

Countdown

Posting post on blog everyday shows how bored I am right now, with nothing much to do. Stuck in the room, stuck in the house...stuck in Penang.

Today is the just the 2nd day of CNY...even so, time seem to be zooming once again. Look at my countdown...it's fast moving. Soon, it shall be the month of March. *sob sob* I'm getting older...so do you, dear readers...haha...

Each day is one step closer to seeing our dear Father. We never know when our life will end but we do know we need not be afraid because we are in His mighty Hands.

Let me quote this by Ryberg (Feb 11, ODB) :

Tomorrow's plans I do not know,
I only know this minute;
But He will say, "This is the way,
By faith now walk ye in it."

In the midst of nothing-to-do, I'm already dreaming of Cambodia. I remembered what I've said to my SG leader. "I do not want to go to Cambodia because it's too expensive., with that RM2000 spending on Cambodia, I could have gone local mission 10 times."

God heard what I've said and proved to me how "useless" my words can be. That year itself, God brought me twice to Cambodia. I have no idea how I finally agreed with it after refusing it at least twice. When God says "Go!"...you can never say, "No!".

As soon as I stepped into the Kingdom of Cambodia, my heart melts and my heart goes all the way for this Kingdom of Cambodia. Being at the Killing Fields, made me hear the cries from the ground. The Genocide Museum, made me see the love that God has for this land. God heard their cries, just like God heard the cries of Abel.

I'm looking forward...by the will of God, to be in this land once again...twice again this year. Shall this be my annual event? If God say, "Go!"...go I shall.

I might not have much to offer but with my limited abilities I shall go, with a BIG and OPEN heart, knowing...."When He calls, He will also equips." The quote that shall bring me far into His ministry and the quote that shall take away my fear and anxiety of knowing not what I should be doing..."He will do what He wants done."

To Him be all glory!
