Malaysian Christian Writes

Let's put it this way. I never ever expected to enter the education line at all . I initially wanted to join an NGO right after graduation. However, someone whose value and judgement I very much appreciate said that I was not ready. I trusted her because she knew me well enough. Right after that, the opportunity to lecture in MCKL arose just like that. Someone approached me, asked me whether I was interested, I was thinking sure why not, sent in my CV and got the interview the next day. Long story short I got the job. I was to teach an MPU subject (Which meant it was to be compulsory) tailored only for MCKL. It is called character formation . A subject in which the syllabus is based on 10 core values of MCKL among them is honour God, respect others, cherish relationships and the list goes on. So as a fresh graduate, it really dawned on me the reality of the working world. It was never gonna be easy. I was to lecture 519 students across 3 programmes (A-levels, Ausmat, CAT)...

So I had time to think in the LRT. The question that comes to mind is what is it then when you believe you have found the one? Now when I say that I do not believe in the one as in there is only one person out there in the universe meant for you. But ' the one ' as in he or she fits what a man or woman should be as how God designed us to be. A helper fit for the man. In all the brokeness and sin, in all the muck and mire there is that love for God. Not religousness but the mutual love for God. This is indeed speaking to Christians. What if she is the one but yet feel like it isn't time yet? Or it may not be mutual? My personal response would be to continue to fight for her, and pursue her. I say her so it is easier instead of he and her and he and her and he and her blegh. What do I mean by that ? I do not mean being a nnoyingly persistent when she clearly does not like you. If that is the case, put on your brakes and serve her as a sister in Christ (for Christians).  Bu...

Before I begin on with my second post about church I thought it would be appropriate to start of with what of 2015. Being in Malaysia we are all well aware of what has been going on last year. I need to bring it up. I observe the country's ebb but apparently it is not only Malaysia but some worldwide phenomenon. The world is ebbing if I were to bluntly put it. But while it may seem discouraging it need not be a reason to be in despair. Here is a short short summary of my 2015. It was definitely a year of much preparation for when I leave my life as a university student. I was pushed out of my comfort zone. Stretched more than my body would want to but at the same time being enabled to do so because it was not by my strength but the power of the Holy Spirit who enables. If success ensues I have nothing to boast in but only claim that The Lord was with me . Because it was Him after all. What I would do then is that in my weakness show my dependency on Him and how by abiding in Him...

First of all I am not talking about The Church of Christ in which every one is part of. Second I am a Christian who attends church faithfully although no amount of church attendance will make me a better Christian. Third I am not talking about something new but rather a reminder with attemps to make it more relevant. Finally I am not dissing any church (But if it really really strikes a bad chord in you well....er.... siapa makan cili dia yang rasa pedas lah ya) . Ooh Ooh and another thing, this does not undermine the real reason and true value for having a church and going to one. So I am laying all the disclaimers down. Phew.... Before I continue, I am just sharing my thoughts. I am no expert in church administrating, church building, church growing. With my limited knowledge I decided to write this down because it has been weighing in my heart. I am ready to be corrected and rebuked. Ready to learn.  For the past two weeks I have been encoutering Christians who do not atten...

That is the question ain't it? What is it with uni life? Your cliche " Oh it is the best time of your life ". I would agree and disagree at the same time for me. This will not be some long post. This will just be the summary of it all. Personally for me it is everything. To specify, it is the journey of it all from the minor events to the big picture. The big picture helps you not to lose sight while the minor events aids you in putting the puzzle pieces together that do make up the big picture. For me I could not extract either one of them. Both lenses needed to co-exist to make this life fruitful. All right I am probably confusing you. Haha Let me make it simpler. There were only two things basically for me that mattered. One is the failures and wrong decisions I made. No matter how painful the experience was or how messed up I am. If I had the chance, I would not change a thing. It was those wrong decisions that steered me, with the right attitude to the right di...

Before anything let me put a disclaimer and lay down the picture. My grandfather has returned to the Lord on the 11th of October 2015 and this testimony of mine is in no way trivializing anything . And thank you for all the encouragement from all my friends who constantly journeyed with me along the way.  I miss my grandfather yes. I mourn for him yes. I have regrets wishing I did more when he was around. But the actual fact is, he is no more on this earth.  It has been a hectic 3 weeks for me. Overwhelmed with everything, I knew I quickly needed to find rest. Rest in Him. So I decided to go back to Malacca to be away for awhile and also because my grandfather went through an operation at that time.  Conversing with the Lord, in prayer as I went back to Malacca. Upon arrival, we immediately decided to visit my grandfather. It was not what I had in mind. H e was weak and could barely move. Immediately my brain switched to spend time with him. to try to be t...

I am at a bus stop Waiting for my transport to my next destination. Running in my mind all the preparations. Being all "calm" as I look at my watch and tap my feet Breathing heavily as I clench my fist Growling as I say "where is the bus?!" when it has only been 5 minutes. I am at a bus stop I come here every day, Going back and forth using the same way Sitting on a bench in heat at times in rain Frustrated by the inconvenience, circumstances and delays. Sitting down I start to pray, With an angry heart "God where is the bus?!" I say. I am at the bus stop In the end I have no choice but to wait The world does not revolve around me since GOOOOD is sovereign =/ Suddenly I heard it loud and clear, PAUSE...A voice I heard "Stay silent, stay still, and draw near" What do you mean?! It's hot, I'm sweating, looking at my watch I can't just be waiting. "PAUSE...and trust me, just look at what you're missing....
