Things changed because God remained faithful

How can it be,
That You were the one on the cross, lifted for all our shame?
How can it be,
The scars on Your hands are for me?

Hillsong United, More Than Life.

BUT God,
who is rich in mercy,
because of His great love with which He loved us,
even when we were dead in trespasses,
made us alive together with Christ,
and raised us up together,
and made us sit together in the heavenly places
in Christ Jesus,
that in the ages to come
He might show
the exceeding riches of His grace
in His kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:4-7 (NKJV).

Ceeli

I realized how silly I was this past week;

1. While watching the TV, there was a big fat fly around the living room. We got slightly frustrated so I decided to hunt it down.

With the electrical mosquito swat (I'm sure you've seen those before, the made-in-China ones; if not, can go pasar malam and you'll find plenty there!), I thought I did a pretty good job at killing the big fat fly. There were about 3 electric shocks given to kill the fly. I picked up the fly and threw it into the rubbish bin.

Minutes later, another big fat fly was in our living room.

But... it wasn't another fly. It was the same fly that I didn't properly kill!! I checked the rubbish bin and confirmed there was no fly inside. It was the return of the flying fly. =.=


2. I think I watched too much of Commonwealth. Especially the aquatics events. Decided to go for a swim yesterday afternoon after class. Followed my dad to Rahman Putra. But the swimming pool was closed on Mondays and I didn't know... Was stuck there for 2 hrs. =/


3. This one is Chian Hui's sillyness. Hahaha, getting the phonecall from her, she said she mistaken Aileen and Li Yen for being the same person! She made me laugh.

Please feel free to share your sillyness with me. It'll make me feel a little less silly!

Usian Bolt could have joined the Commonwealth Games

This year's Commonwealth Games is pretty under the radar, no?

Currently, Malaysia has bagged 3 gold medals. Namely by Amirul Hamizan Ibrahim (56kg Weightlifting), Acricco Jumitih (62kg Weightlifting), and Josiah Ng (Men's Keiren - a cycling event).

I didn't watch the weightlifting prize-giving ceremony but I watched the prize-giving ceremony for Men's Keiren.


When Josiah's name was announced, this man leaped off of the ground to the podium. One could tell how sincerely happy and proud he was. Next up, the national anthem. My heart went oh-oh, how is it going to be ar? (Sorry, I've never heard our national anthem being played after ceremonies like this before. Never. And to see our national flag being raised(slightly higher), in between two countries...)

Josiah Ng sang the national anthem and I almost wanted to stand in front of the television. Next, he did the unthinkable (well it was to me), he shed tears. By this point, I felt my vision sorta blurring away.

I admired him for his love towards Malaysia. God, let there be more people who love the country like he does! I want to love this country more as well, inspite of its weaknesses. Inspite of its people's weaknesses.
