He is just a another faithful person. He had an aggressive cancer. He composed this song "Healer". By faith itself, it is already a great healing. This song is powerful. This song shows how someone who is sick is able to sit down and turn everything to God and worship him as soon as he got home after knowing his cancer. He composed this song at that instant. He wrote over 30 Christian songs, including "Majesty", "Arise", "Don't pass me by", and this one is the most powerful, ever. Originally this song was included in "Saviour of the World" (2007) by Planetshakers, but this was compiled in this new album from Hillsong Music Australia.
He is, Mike Guglielmucci.

You're my everything
Again, another tears-running time. It's just a old video that a friend of mine gave me. You still remember who you are? =)
I've watched it for quite many times, and each was tear-rolling time. Today I watched it again. Today, I cried again. It somehow just spoken to me a lot:
1. How often are we to be lured by various temptations, and most of the times we just simply fall for it, without realizing that all we need to do is to trust and focus on our God and hang on just a little bit longer.
2. How faithful are God to us. Jesus came to die on the cross, taking all of our sins. He sacrificed himself so that we are not harmed badly, despite our stubbornness and block-headness.
3. God is always with me. I am not alone to face difficulties.
4. God loves me, that's why he created me =)
5. He is the provider of my everything. I should give thanks to him for everything.
6. How he so worried when we choose to be disobedience, just because it seems easier to walk. Giving up is easier than hanging on. But we should remind ourselves: what comes after we stand up under it?
There are much more, but let us just enjoy the movie.

Thank you ch33z3 ™ for providing me the link =)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That day my cousin asked me, "how many tears do you have to shed at Germany?"
I laughed.
But I cried, for this:
Truly I respect him. What is my failure in Maths compare to the difficulties that he faced? How little my one problem is compare to his everyday difficulties?
Yet, he stands stronger than me. And his faith and love towards God is stronger than most of people out there, including me.
Tony Melendez, you're my source of inspiration to go on. I want... I can... and I will move forward.
He has nothing. Yet he has everything.

You have to try. You have to do it by yourself.

My thoughts Part 2 - My cry, my struggle
..::*+ Small Talk +*::..
Sorry to everyone, but I insisted to start with number 5. This is not the actual 5th topic that I want to write, but it just fitted in perfectly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today, is just a day after my birthday. I was thinking of blogging something about my birthday celebration, when the thing just happened. It took me 30 minutes to cool down. It took nearly my whole strength to hold back the tears. "As said by Amy, man shouldn't cry," I told myself.
Nevertheless, it was something far more painful than being thrown into a boiling pot, or being pierced by the sharpest sword direct at your heart, both literally and metaphorically. Just imagine, when there's a day, the question that you ask yourself but you do not know the answer is not "when will I die?", instead it is "Why is it that things that you really don't want it to happen happened?"
What will you do? What will you say?
For me, I learned this lesson today. I learned this unanswered-question lesson. Today, is the day when the thing that I really don't want it to happened happened. I'll skip the details. Speculate as much as you want. But, one thing for sure: it did not happen in the past and I was very confident it would never happen, not until today. How do you feel, when one day, the pillar that makes you stand s-h-a-t-t-e-r-e-d?
I had that once, last year. You know what am I talking about. And I never expect it to happen so soon. I was about to finish recovering from the "earthquake", when it happened. I wished it would not happen. But, how cruel it was, it happened.
**
Today, I learned a lot:
1. I learned that every decision that I made will affect the future, whether it can be seen tomorrow, 6 DAYS LATER, a week later,a month later, a year, a decade, etc. I am still thinking the reason behind this cruelty. But one thing for sure. This is the fact. The fact that this is what I get if I don't think wisely before making any decisions. If the decision that you made is wrong, it could even take away your precious element in your life, just like my case now. Tears are dancing in my eyeframe. This is what you get for what you have done, they screamed. It is a wake-up call for me though. To wake me up that I shouldn't remain naíve in my thinking. There is no such thing as "it will be fine" in this world. I must be conscious, ALWAYS, of what I am doing. Everyone has only 24 hours a day. When you allocate some time for something, you lose the time for another. It's cruel, but it's a fact. I'm letting you know this fact, accept it before you regret in the future. Therefore, learn to manage time wisely. You might think you are still young to taste the consequences of failure in time management, but it affects your future.
2. I learned that things are never one-sided. The effort ratio, in percentage, between ourselves and God in daily lives is not 100-0, nor 0-100, nor 50-50. It is 100-100. I know it doesn't satisfy any conservation laws in physics. It never is. Albert Einstein proved that Newton's Laws of Motion are not always true through his special relativity theory. I proved it now that this 200%-effort thing is also true. Think these ways:
a. if you put 100% to study and without God, you could fail your exam. You might sick or something during exam.
b. if you put 100% to God and without study, youcould might fail your exam. Need explanation?
c. if you put 50% to study and 50% to God, you could also fail your exam.
d. if you put 100% to study and 100% to God, you are guaranteed to pass.
You can validate these statement. Prove me I'm wrong. But think again, what does this 200% thing really means?
It means, you surrender 100% to God that he will fight the battle together with you. If you do so, do not be doubted, God gives always 100% to us. What left now is from ourselves. If you want to excel, 100% effort is the requirement. You want to have best result, you need your own effort. Saying "God will work things out for me" is an excuse, if you do nothing. Christianity lifestyle is an active lifestyle, not a passive one.
3. You are who you are. No matter what your surrounding is, you remain you. If you are ugly, no matter if your friends areDena? pretty, handsome or not, you are still the ugly. Does this sounds like Amy? Don't think if people around you are smart, you are also one. NO! Everyone has their own elements that define themselves. Seniors are good. It doesn't mean that you are good too. Seniors think Mathe is KACANG, doesn't mean it will be KACANG for you too.
4. Don't be overconfident. It does not happen before does not mean it will not happen. If you never fail Mathe before in your entire past, it doesn't give the definition and assurance that you will surely pass this time. I need to learn to be humble, and not to overconfident about anything. Playing games during exam time? Give me a break. Laugh around during exam week? Give me a break. Say the word "kacang" as I like? Give me a SLAP.
Time to get serious in everything. 20 years old. Yes, old. The sentence in the book saying "you are already 19. Grow up please," could be modified to 20. It is not just a laugh-out-loud joke. Time to move on. Wipe away the tears, and move on. Time to make some changes. Not to remain as 19. Time to do what I have said and vowed, not just making broken promises, like those people living on the earth, promising this and that, but in the end, fulfill none of them.
I don't want to be like this anymore. You should, by now, know what am I talking about.

Birthday 20th
I bathed 30minutes before.
Then my watch ticked.
My laptop clock blinked.
My ice-cream placed in front of me.
I give a 5 minutes prayer to God. Taking up my tea spoon, crunch a bite of Langnese's (Wall's, in Malaysia) Cremissimo. Mmm. Vanilla flavor with cherry sause and white chocolate chips as topping is indeed tasty =D
Love 20. My good 20.
Promises made, once again, to God.
Ice-Cream, my only element in my night.
Sweeeeeeeeet, sweet 20.
The Plan, let's start, ok? =)
Don't know. Just feel a little different.
A different to say, "happy 20th Birthday" or "zum Geburtstag viel Glück" or "생일 축하합니다" or "bon anniversaire" or "aniversário feliz" or "生日快乐" to myself.
I waited, for I know I'm waiting for nothing.
But I smiled, for I know He is smiling at me.
Again, happy birthday, to me.

alive..
How much strength does it need to keep me going on what I am doing now?
An exam mixture of tears and joys.
Half way, and I'm distorted. Putting every effort gripping in His grace. Chinese call this "用尽九牛二虎之力，紧握你的双手"..
Coming up posts that I currently have in mind:
1. Love - getting a better view
2. Actio - reactio / self-control / denying Newton's 3rd Law of Motion
3. Gentleness - strength in control
4. My humorous God =)
5. My thoughts part 2 - My cry, my struggle
Wonder which one should be granted green light first. Exam now. 2 down, 5 to go.
