putting faith above all else

one lesson that I have learnt at City Harvest Church KL that really changes my perspective is put our faith above all else. Its like whenever we face problems and challenges, we always plan and do things that we may regret later. We think that we can solve it by ourself. God only exist on Sunday service and on other days, we are on our own. Well that perception of mine had changed.

I have learnt that whenever we face any challeges, first of all, pray to God to help you to solve it. When we pray to God and ask that what ever that we do let it be done according to God's will and plan that He has for us. Sometimes, we find new ideas or ways to solve the problem. At other times, we find the courage and energy to carry on and solve the problem. I had had a very heavy burden for the past few months.

I was kinda afraid to face it rather than hell. But after I prayed, I just had the urge and strength to face it once and for all. I know that what ever outcome it is, it will be done according to God's will. As such, I totally surrender to God to solve it for me. I just sow the seed, but He will ensure that the seed grows or not. And I find an inner peace in it, that I do not have to worry that things will gone awry because I know that whatever happen it happen according to God's will. For if God is for us, who will go against us.

Now I just turn to Yahweh, whenever I have any issues. For I know He will help me. Amen

Independence of Sabah and Sarawak from Malaysia

I first asked this question to my former history school teacher back then. Since Sarawak and Sabah are being ill treated and had to bow down to peninsular's claim all the time, why not we fight for our own independence.

The latest Allah issue really strike me most compared to other issues that Sarawakian had to be subjugated to colonialization by Malaya. Peninsular Malaysia claims that Islam is the religion of the federation. Yes we respect and acknowledge that even with due respect that Sarawak and Sabah are Christian majority states. In Sarawak, Malay Muslim accounts to about one fifth of the population. More than two third are Christians and the rest Buddhist. So can you imagine how much Christians have to give up by becoming part of an Islamic country that follows Islamic rule even though Muslim is not majority in our states.

Since majority rules apply. Sarawak and Sabah do not have to follow Islamic rule at all. And syariah laws cannot be enforced on us instead Christian law should be enforced. We have given up fight against applying Islamic law or not. Now the federal government is trying to even take away our rights to call our God, Allah. Peninsular Malaysia have taken away all our resources like Petroleum, timber (forest), and even hydro electric dam(Bakun). And the native tribes who are the real owner of the land (not Malay people) do not even own their own land. Instead they are being chased out as illegal squatters in the jungle. How much more can we endure under such colonization?

Its time for Sarawakian and Sabahan to unite and fight for indepence from Malaysia. Its is now or never. Today we can't call our God Allah, tomorrow what? Christ Jesus is outlawed in Malaysia?

Health

This week I have been having severe diarrhea and the growth of a wisdom tooth. I must admit that I have been converted into a toilet fan as of late. Having diarrhea is much worse than a nature call. I guess God really answered my prayer for a fit body shape. It is like a punishment for me because of binge eating and partying over the Christmas and New Year countdown. It is suppose to drain off the extra pounds that I have gained over the holidays. Maybe, I should start to sign up for a gym class and having a proper body building protein diet. Over the past month I have been taking in too much food than I have consumed on average over the past few years.

I have discovered that I'm prefer more Western food than Chinese food. I must really congratulate the Chinese people in KL for coming up with a lot of creative food that I would not even ever imagine to have in my whole life. Above that, I have to say that the main reason why I prefer the familiar food is I do not have to suffer shocking taste bud culture. The Chinese food here is too salty with soya sauce. Everything is cooked with soya sauce. I definitely have not taken so much soya sauce ever in my whole life as compared to now. I have even come to a conclusion to ban all Chinese food. Plus I'm sick of rice and noodles. Seriously why Asian like to eat so much of rice and noodles?

The growth of a wisdom tooth signals another mile stone in my life. A transition from being a student to a working adult as an intern for eight months. It is really a change from the old conundrum of the quiet lecture room of an old sulky professor from some middle east country trying to speak English with thick Arabic accent. WTF, I don't understand a single shit of English he is trying to say. Same goes to Indian lecturer with thick Indian accent. Sorry I'm not trying to be racist, but please improve your English before start being a lecturer. It is an insult to my ear to hear broken English being spoken in lecture classes. I will sound rude if I were to correct your English, so better do something about it.
