in every man, there’ll always be a boy
… makes the heart grow fonder
It does. Anyhow, I’m working on an entry, but still have not finished. It’ll be quite a long and hopefully comprehensive one so that’s why it’s taking so long. Plus, I’ve been too physically tired out to concentrate. *yawn
Going back to Penang on Tuesday, after I hand up my assignment. Masami Komatsu’s wedding is on the 6th of May! A bunch of them are coming up, so will be playing host .. can’t wait. Lotsa catching up and fun to be getting to! WOOHOO!

Sorry. Just haven’t found the .. drive or content to post. Somehow, as I sat down to write yesterday night .. all I could conjure up was my feelings for a particular something .. and when I thought about it .. I didn’t have the liberty to write about it. It’s something good, but the time for it has not come. All of within me is ready to burst out, but it’s been suppressed. Have to le. Gah, enough on the vagueness.
On another note, I’m officially going to Sabah! Woohoo! 19 days, starting from 8th till the 29th of June. Looking forward to it very much. Doesn’t show, aye? I just got up lah. :p So … Sabahans, ring the sirens! Raise your flags! I am kambing. I mean, kambeng. I mean … coming.
David[woohoo!]
I will follow, Lord.

I can’t contain it
So much, I gotta give it away
Your love, has thought me to live now
You are .. more than enough for me!
These couple of days has been awesome. I feel lifted in my spirit, and over the weekend .. this song came to me three times. Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
I still have my presentation to prepare for, my final year project hardware to complete, and my assignment [in which the due date has incidently been set a week after the presentation, so I have more time to complete it,woohoo?] to hand up .. but I just couldn’t help but to laze around. Mini-break, I guess. Ehe. Yalah, lazy-bum lah. I admit.
I’m on my quest again, to .. keep my nails unbitten. They were ravaged over the exams from exam stress and all. Poor fingernails. It kinda hurts. When they grow. Sigh. How la. How?
Anyhow, I’ve gotta get cracking on AdobeIllustrator. Design my POSTER! Muahahaha!

For the past 2 hours and 45 minutes, I’ve been writing non-stop. My fingers hurt. The part where the pen rests on my middle finger is red from the excessive pressure from writing, and also BLUE from the ink of my gel ink pen. My eyes are dry, my contacts feel slightly uncomfortable but it’s bearable. I look at my watch. It’s almost time.
A smile exudes.
I stack my papers, pack my stationary and I stand tall. To be frank, it feels taller than usual. I walk out of my exam hall wearing a smile I cannot remove from my face.
There’s just such a sense of relief, having gone through all my papers. I didn’t do exceedingly well, nor did I do exceedingly bad. But by my own terms, I think I did really well. Considering the circumstances I was under, in which all you readers would not have known. Maybe never. We’ll see.
I’ve still got my final year project hardware to finish up for the presentation this coming Tuesday. On top of that, I have an assignment in which the whole class is clueless about. I don’t officially finish Uni before May the 16th, where I will be interviewed by the external uni, Uni of Northumbria for the grading of my final year project.
Take one paper at a time. Don’t lose focus. I have faith in you to be able to finish. I didn’t have faith in myself when I faced my exams, but I placed my faith in the right place .. God. Whatever the outcome, His grace is sufficient for you. His strength is made perfect when you are weak. 2nd Corinthians 12:9. I’m cheering you on!

Listen to it.
The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I don’t know the reason why You brought me here
But just because You love me the way that You do
I’m gonna walk through the valley
If You want me to
Cause I’m not who I was
When I took my first step
And I’m clinging to the promise You’re not through with me yet
So if all of these trials bring me closer to you
Then I will walk through the fire
If You want me to
It may not be the way I would have chosen
When you lead me through a world that’s not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I’d never go alone
So when the whole world turns against me
And I’m all by myself
And I can’t hear You answer my cries for help
I’ll remember the suffering that Your love put You through
And I will walk through the darkness
If You want me to
When I cross over Jordan,
I’m gonna sing, gonna shout
I’m gonna look into Your eyes and see
You never let me down
So take me on the pathway that leads me home to You
And I will walk through the valley
If You want me to
Yes, I will walk through the valley
If You want me to

Take 2 bad eggs, beat them together and leave to mix well. Add 1 part of personal selfishness, 1 part insensitivity and 2 parts of contempt … sprinkle with prejudice and a pinch of deceit. Leave to bake for a couple of months and you’ll have yourself a ..
… cake of mistrust, hurt and broken friendships.
Sorry. I don’t know why I am. Maybe for the way things are today.

I have to admit, I don’t know much about this Datuk Chua Jui Meng other than that he speaks Mandarin, English and Malay very well, and that he is/was the Minister of Health in our country. I have the impression that he is this big man who everyone looks to for matters concerning the health of the Malaysian citizens. Indeed, he is.
But what was more surprising to me was the fact that he became a Christian two years ago and has been walking in the same faith as I have. Hearing him share his testimony last Sunday over Easter was absolutely amazing. For the first time in my life, I heard a politician speak [well, first time I ever paid attention], and the first few words that came out of his mouth were words declaring that Jesus is alive, and “Praise God!”
Man, I have to admit that was it awkward .. initially. But as I slowly came to terms with the familliar words that I often hear, I felt such a joy and gratitude for what God has done in this man’s life. Not only in his, but also in the lives of his family members, his children and their families too.
He shared about his deliverance from the oppression that was upon him physically and also the demonization that he was under, sent chills through my whole body. In hearing how one of the leaders of our nation can be demonized is truly an awakening fact that we should cover them in prayer. But the fact that Jesus is able to deliver him from that demonization and cause his whole family to be free of the grip of the devil is EVEN MORE AMAZING!
He went on and on about the miracles that as happened to him and his family, especially the one where his son was supernaturally delivered from the kidnapping incident that happened .. some time ago. The testimony spoke so much of God’s ability to save us from death and dangerous hands of kidnappers, angels around us protecting us constantly, and the amazing revelations that God brings upon His faithful people.
His speech, naturally .. was very well formed though he didn’t speak from notes. Politicians trait? Maybe. But I am convinced that it was divine, as he too admitted to the submitting of the the leading of the Holy Spirit. To hear him quote Scriptures off-hand showed how much he has grown these past 2 years in faith. Brings shame to those who have been Christians for as long as they can remember but cannot speak of Jesus or quote a Bible verse out loud. Hello!
As the service ended, he was busy praying for people and I took the opportunity to shake his hand after. Just told him that I was very encouraged by what he shared. It wasn’t a big deal to him .. and to me .. I suppose .. but some people .. not naming any names here .. but .. yeah .. had to make such a fuss about me shaking the hands of a minister .. Grrr ..
So, in ending .. I’d like to quote what he said in his sharing which relates back to the title of this entry..
In the 9 years I’ve served as the Minister of Health, I’ve been fighting against many diseases, sicknesses and NOT once have I ever heard of a miracle. But in the past 2 years, having known Christ I’ve been able to witness many miracles and divine healing in hospitals.

Though yeah, he’s not the Minister of Health anymore, I think God will raise him up as an evangelist and maybe .. a minister of divine health. Divine minister of health? Minister of health, divine? Ah, what gives.

Just thought I’d share this song, over my sleepless night.
Listen to it!
Setia Pada-Mu
by Jacqlien Celosse from the album Raja Mulia.
Maafkan aku
Ampuni aku
Kadangku tak peka kan suara-Mu
Seringkali ku melayani-Mu
Hanya untuk kepuasanku
Ajarku ‘tuk berjalan sesuai kehendak-Mu
Kemanapun Engkau membawaku
Aku ikut bersama-Mu
Dan apapun jua yang Kau mau
Ku ‘kan turut kehendak-Mu
Kar’naku disini
Penuhi panggilan-Mu
Ajarku ‘tuk setia kepada-Mu

There’s this article on USATODAY.com entitled,”CEOs say how you treat a waiter can predict a lot about character.” I got it from http://waiterrant.net, skimmed through the article and found it largely true. Couldn’t really delve in the article, but one thing that caught my eye was this ..
A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person. - Bill Swanson
I find it so true. I checked myself with waiters I have encountered before and I’m glad to not be of a person such as this. Of course there are exceptions to when the waiter is rude, or does something totally off. Not to be boasting or anything like that, ya?
Anyhow, that’s today’s update. Back to my state diagrams and mealy machines.
