God is great! Amen?

Amen to that. Yes. It has been very very long. It has been almost a year. 8 months to be precise. That this blog wasn't updated. Well, what can I say? I was being lazy and sometimes (really!) busy. What had happened for the past 8 months was truly miraculous. I have been brought to church who is now my best friend, Benedict Weerasena. Oh, how I could ever thank him enough. Let's go back all the way back to December 2010.

December 2010, ending of my lower-6. Having my last scout camp as an exco knowingly 2 days after the camp I have a church camp to look forward to. My scout camp ended at 17th of December. A Friday. The next day was a Saturday. That very Saturday, it's a Saturday I will never ever forget. 18th of December. It started with the Saturday night service in Penang Christian Center (PCC). Pastor Kul Bal was the preacher for the night as he will be the preacher for the Fire Camp which was the youth camp I was referring to previously. It was a great night indeed. After a inspiring, fire-hot sermon from Pastor Kul Bal, it was that night, that very moment, where I received our Lord, Jesus Christ, into my life. On that night itself, I was spiritually baptized. There stood Benedict in tears. At that  time, I couldn't understand why. But now, I do, it's such a joy, such happiness to see someone to accept Jesus.

Throughout the Fire Camp, I was very inquisitive, asking myself questions on Christianity. As the camp goes on, there was serenity. It was truly an amazing experience. As life goes on, I start to realize God's work in me, and for me. I became a better person. I actually started studying. Something that I really don't do often for the past few years. God blessed me with an iPhone 4 too. Hah! That was really unexpected. It was truly a gift from God.

Of all times, I could really feel God's presence are during times when I have exams. It is truly amazing. From Form 1 until Form 5, to be honest, I really cared less about my exams. If I end up failing, I would just sweep it all under the rug. Taking things for granted really. But when it came to upper-6, (probably it's because the fear for STPM) but I really believe it's God's will. I would really pick myself up and study day after day after day. I couldn't care less if slept at 3am in the morning, I would wake up the next day, go to school, and if I'm not in class, I would be in the prefects' room studying or doing my homework or some revision. When it comes to the real exam, although I've barely read much, (but I did a little) ideas and possible answers would keep appear in my mind and I would just answer them. It was truly something to behold of. It's rare when you  don't see Teik Min sleeping during exams if you knew me for the past 5 years.

Now I'm having my trials. Oh thank God, that I'm going through it so well, so much better than how I thought I would. Yet again, God is having his way with me. I'm so blessed. This trials made me realize how much the presence of God, the presence of Jesus, had made me so different. Had so much impact on me. I am truly blessed to be a child of God.

God is great! Glory to the Lord! Amen.

A favor for an old friend. :)

Manchester City vs Arsenal (Live on Astro Supersports (817), 24 October 2010, 11.00 P.M)

This weekend, the biggest match for the week in the Barclays Premier League, would be Manchester City vs Arsenal. Arsenal would be travelling to Eastlands facing an in-form Manchester City squad. The Gunners are well in-form themselves as they come into this match after winning 2-1 against Birmingham and the thrashing of Shaktar Donetsk. 

Arsenal will be going into this match without key players, Robin van Persie (Ankle Injury), Thomas Vermaelen (Achilles Injury), Manuel Almunia (Arm Injury) & Aaron Ramsey (Broken Leg). Manchester City has injury problems of their own as Yaya Toure & brother Kolo is out with knee & hamstring injury respectively. New signing Balotelli and Michael Johnson is also out with a knee injury.

This match is crucial for both teams. Arsenal need to win this as they need to catch up to the leaders on top of the table and close the gap on Chelsea which they now are drifted away by 5 points. While City have a chance to top the Premier Table for the 1st time this season provided if Chelsea loses their match against Wolves on Saturday night.

Gunners captain, Cesc Fabregas has issued a statement that he is out to gun for City as Arsenal failed all the 3 attempts of trying to beat City last season. City strikers, Carlos Tevez & Emmanuel Adebayor proves to be clinical in front of goal. Tevez has shown again and again that he can be a match winner & Adebayor will be raring to go after his hat-trick against Lech Poznan in the midweek Europa League clash. City's defense should have an eye on frenchmen Samir Nasri as he had scored 2 goals in 3 matches & he might fire Arsenal to victory.

Key Players to Watch (Arsenal): Cesc Fabregas - Fabregas is out to avenge the lost the Manchester City last season. City defense must be on their best not to let the Gunners talisman too much space as he can pull the strings for Arsenal.

Key Players to Watch (Manchester City): Carlos Tevez - City's main striker is in hot form. He proved to be a match winner over the past few weeks. With Arsenal's defense missing their key defender, Vermaelen, he will be ready to pounce on any mistakes in the back of the Gunner's defense.

Prediction: Both teams come to this match with good form. It's hard to call a win for either team. This will go down in a draw in my books. 1-1.

53rd JOTA & 14th JOTI. 15th - 17th October 2010.

Had not been updating recently, was busy with preparations for Co-curricular Day and Speech Day in my school. And last Friday until Sunday, I went to a the 53rd JOTA & 14th JOTI camp which was held in SMK Zainal Abidin. I went there as a helper as my teacher, Mr. Ong Beng Soon asked me to go and help out the camp. Well, didn't actually expect much from the camp to be honest, but it turned out to be very fun indeed. Met new friends, had random fun. Enjoyed the results. ;) So here are some pictures for you all to enjoy. I do not own these pictures.

Wazzup people. How's your Friday? Mine was okay though. Had school in the morning. Nothing special happened that time. Then went home. Then it got a little hectic, I helped my mom to throw out 2 chairs which is not actually small. Since my mom is at work and my dad unable to help me, so I did it all alone. Fuhhh. That was tiring. Lol. Then I walked all the way to the old Sunshine Farlim shoplots and bought myself a new headphones cause my old one spoiled. Wheeee :DD Cost me 55 bucks though. :& Here is how it look like 

:DD

There you go. And now I'm blasting my music all the way. Wheee. :DD That's all for now. :DD

Music is life.

Down he may be, but watch as he rise back up.

There was once this guy,

He was as free as a fly,

He felt like he could fly,

His energy were never to be drained dry,

He was never shy,

And he thought he could never cry.

He thought he was strong,

Never wrong,

But the journey was still long,

He might be proven wrong,

Will he still say strong?

Then the time came,

That his courage were to be tamed,

He was going to have his face framed,

Onto the wall of a journey lane,

Called the love game.

He traveled down the lane quick,

Without knowing this game was full of tricks,

He was fast and slick,

Too fast that if a branch he would ever flick,

He would break like an ice getting hit from a pick.

Indeed, everything went well,

He was as happy as Christmas' ringing bells,

But only time could tell,

When he should fell,

Into the burning furnace of hell.

Everything well had been broken,

Hell gates had been opened,

He then was beaten and fallen,

Left alone to learn,

The pain of a heart that was broken.

Apart he was teared,

The moment he had feared,

Had finally appeared,

To no one he could've turned,

As he sat alone and teared.

His whole world was shattered,

He had been battered,

His courage was hampered,

His thoughts was bewildered,

He thought the world around him was ended.

But no, he won't stay down,
He will stop the frown,
He will rise back and regain his crown,
No longer to be treated like a clown,
He will again fly off the ground.

Everyone behold,
His hands are no longer cold,
Through his veins his blood flowed,
Determination being showed,
Watch him now, as he move to conquer the world.

In a game called life.
