Ex-Colleagues


This was my last jungle tracking with my ex-colleague..... we were looking wild forest durians despite of jungle tracking. Unfortunately not even bearing any fruits as we had found the durian trees. We found clear river water and huge rocks all around though....

Stress Management from Jesus


Jesus Christ was constantly under pressure. There were high demands on His time; He rarely had any personal privacy. He was constantly interrupted; people repeatedly misunderstood him, criticized Him, and ridiculed Him. He had enormous stress which would have caused any of us to cave in, shut ourselves down, depression, out bust of anger, killing someone or even consider to suicide.


But as we look at the life of Christ we quickly discover that He remained at peace under pressure. He was never in a hurry. He was always at ease. He had calmness about His life that enable Him to handle enormous amounts of stress. How did He do this so successfully? He based His life on sound principles of stress management. If we understand and apply these principles in our lives. I think we'll experience less pressure and more peace of mind. Thank you Jesus for showing us on earth to model it out. He's truly Hero.

Number 1 : Identity!!! Know Who You Are
See what Jesus has to offer and still saying the same Powerful Words to us
Jesus said, “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12) “I am the Door” (10:9); “I am the Way and the truth and the Life”(14:6) “I am the Good Shepherd” (10:11); “I am God's Son” (10:36). Christ knew who He was!


Friend, The first principle for handling stress in our life is this: Know who you are. It is the principle of identification. Jesus said, “I know who I am. I testify to Myself” this is critically important in stress management because if we don't know who we are, somebody else may try to tell us who he thinks we are. If we don't know who we are, we will let other people manipulate us and pressure us into being somebody we aren't. That's suck!!!

A lot of stress in life results from our wearing masks, being unreal with others, living double lives, or trying to be somebody we're not. Insecurity always produces pressure in our lives, and when we're insecure we feel pressured to perform and also to conform. Trying to please everyone. We set unrealistic standards for our lives, and even though we work, work, work, we can't meet those unrealistic standards. Tension and pressure naturally occur as a result. Again that's suck!!!

The number 1 way to balance stress in life is to get an internal balance of who I am. And I know who I am by knowing whose I am. I am a child of God. I was put on earth not by accident but for a purpose. I am deeply loved by God. I am accepted by Him. He has a plan for my life, and because He put me here I am significant, worthy, a purpose and destinied!!! This is way Cool !!!

And because He put us here, we are significant. To handle stress we gotta know who we are. Until we handle this issue. We'll be pressured by insecurity. Not a fun feeling to cope with.

If you don't know Jesus? Say a prayer of invitation of Jesus to come into your life. Jesus is real, He's more than willing to take your stress away. You know what? He actually taken it all away for us on the cross He died.


Give your stress to Christ. You will never enjoy complete peace of mind until you have a relationship with the Prince of Peace. Jesus says," Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle an humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light"

Jesus never did say "Come to Me and I will give you more guilt, more burdens, more stress and more worries" But I still listening Him says" I want to give you rest. I am the Stress-Reliever. when you get in hormony with Me, I will give you inner strength" Chirst can transform your lifestyle from stressful to satistified.

What do you need? If we never committed our life Christ, we need a transformation. Give our life with all its stresses to Him and say, " Lord, please give me a new life. Replace pressure i feel with the peace You offer. Help me follow Your principles of stress management." Amen!!!

Another hair cut


Just had a new haircut back in Miri. Initially planed to visit and get a hair cut from my aunt in a beauty saloon. Unfortunately to find out that day her saloon is not open for business.
Well later just drove a few block away to walk into another hair saloon.
As usual, i have to wait for my turn to get a hair cut. Browsing through ladies magazines *only magazine available* Where are all the Cars magazine? I thought this is a Unisex Saloon?
What the heck~ grab anything to read though.
+_x shockingly to find out a ladies handbags would cost RM3k plus and some even RM5k. Come to think of it. Not much figures ,even functions and values added worth. The only purpose of keeping goodies in it. It can't do e-mail, watch DVD, play mp3, make coffee, warm up food, take photos, can't plant flowers, no automatic bag open/close, can't help you to organise putting stuff in it, no LCD, no time telling figure, no security lock, no thumb recognition, cooling system and so much more.... sigh~
I wonder any ladies would to buy it and doubting them to have any sense of financial/simple economic intelligence or not. It's not a worth the value of well spenting it. Rather use the money to buy school bags and books for the poor children later in their grown up life would give it back to the societies.

Hmm... it's my turn to get my hair cut d. My mind is tired, no harm taking a nap. Yiaks... only later i found out my hair turn out to be like this look. It also changed the pose of my chin too. Kind of pathetic. Got to wear sunglasses to hide behind it. No eye see ar...

Beauty and the Beast, The Madame Le Prince de Beaumont version



The rich merchant not only has three daughters but also three sons who have little to do with the story. All the girls are good looking, particularly the youngest who becomes known as Little Beauty. The sisters are vain and jealous of Beauty who is by contrast modest and charming and wishes to stay with her father.

All of a sudden the family loses its money and is forced into a poorer lifestyle which makes life more difficult all around and exaggerates the differences between Beauty and her sisters. Beauty and the three brothers throw themselves into working for their new life while the sisters are bored. The father takes a trip in the hopes of regaining his wealth, and the older sisters demand he bring them expensive garments. Beauty asks simply for a rose.

The father is unsuccessful in his attempt to regain his wealth and in despair, wandering in the forest, is trapped in a snow storm. He comes upon a seemingly deserted palace where he finds food and shelter for the night. In the morning he wanders into the garden where he sees the perfect rose for Beauty. Upon plucking it, a hideous Beast appears and says that for his thievery he must die. The father begs for his life and, the Beast agrees to let him go if one of his daughters will take his place. If she refuses, then he must return to die himself. The Beast gives him a chest filled with gold and sends him home. This treasure enables the older daughters to make fashionable marriages. On giving Beauty the rose, her father cannot help but tell her what happened. The brothers offer to slay the Beast but the father knows that they would die in the process. Beauty insists on taking her father’s place, and so she returns with him to the Beast’s palace where he reluctantly leaves her.

In a dream Beauty sees a beautiful lady who thanks her for her sacrifice and says that she will not go unrewarded. The Beast treats her well; all her wishes are met by magic. He visits her every evening for supper and gradually Beauty grows to look forwards to these meetings as a break to the monotony of her life. At the end of each visit the Beast asks Beauty to be his wife, which she refuses although agreeing never to leave the palace. Beauty sees in the magic mirror that her father is desperately missing her and asks that she might return to visit him. The Beast assents on the condition that she return in seven days, lest he die.

The next morning she is at home. Her father is overjoyed to see her but the sisters are once again jealous of Beauty, her newly found happiness and material comfort with the Beast. They persuade Beauty to stay longer, which she does, but on the tenth night she dreams of the Beast who is dying. Wishing herself back with him, she is transported back to the castle where she finds the Beast dying of a broken heart. She realizes that she is desperately in love with the Beast and says that she would gladly marry him. At this the Beast is transformed into a prince, the Father joins them at the palace and the sisters are turned into statues until they own up to their own faults.

The Prince and Beauty live happily ever after because their "contentment is founded on goodness."

Steadfast confidence in Him

Got this sms mesage from a friend this morning.

The richest answers are not the speediest...

A prayer may be all the longer on its voyage because it brings us a heavier freight of blessing.
Delayed answer are not only trials of faith,
but they give us opportunities of honouring God with our steadfast confidence in Him under all circurmtances.

God's answers never come too soon, nor are they too late.
They are always right on time.

Candle Light

Light a candle to shatter all the darkness in the night
Tender light will unshadow every sight
Needless to stand no more in the shadow
The gentle flame will burn bright and guide us on our path
The seasons come and go, and we would be weary from the change
Yet to be complete
For good we keep on walking, knowing it's not the same
But love will always still remain
Oh yes indeed,
We learned the most precious words are left unspoken and better sealed
To leave and awaiting for those precious moments...
Yet to be unfold in a special way
For true love is always stay real

Sunflower
The sun shines on the sunflower
She blossoms and she grows
What makes her shine so bright
Heaven only knows
The storms they try to break her
But they will not succeed
They'll never have her stem
Just carry her beautiful seed
The hail will come to pelt her
To smash her into pieces
But they cannot do damage
To this unique species
She'll hold her golden head high
She'll smile at everyone
She'll dance around her garden
Until her seasons done
Everyone does wonder
What makes her stand apart
She's the tallest golden flower
With the biggest beautiful heart
So when you meet the sunflower
Be honest and be true
She'll put a seed into your hand
Your beauty will shine through
Enough for health and happiness
To last your whole life through
Take her seed and plant it
Watch your dreams come true
