Unforgiveness is Wickedness

Today's sermon at CHC was kinda touching.

Pastor Kong Hee talked about the topic Forgiveness.

Forgiveness seems to be a general topic that we hear but some how the way he preached, it feels so different. There are 5 points that he focused on which are :-
#1 - do not curse it
#2 - don't rehearse it
#3 - don't nurse it
#4 - disperse it
#5 - let God reverse it

What he meant was live each day with no grudge in your heart. Learn to forgive. In the bible there was a parable in Mathew 18:21-24

There Peter asked how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Jesus said seventy seven times which in olden times it means unlimited.

Then goes the story of a guy who owed the master a huge amount of money then the servant A who owes him begged him as he is unable to pay. The master took pity and cancelled the debt. This servant A then went out and found his fellow servant B who owed him a small amount and grabbed him as well as choked him for it.

The fellow servant B begged but the servant A showed no mercy. He threw the Servant B into prison till he is able to pay his debt. The other servants told the master and the master called servant A and turned him to the jailers to be tortured until he paid back what he owed.

Therefore this is what is important from the sermon. Our Heavenly Father will treat each of us the same way unless we learn and forgive our brothers and sisters from our heart.

Therefore summary comes in the 5 steps. Don't find reasons to be angry at someone. Release all grudges and let God handle them personally with those responsible. Learn the power of forgiveness =)

There is always something in the way

There's always something
In the way
There's always something
Getting through
But it's not me
it's You

Sometime's ignorance
Rings true
But hope is not in
What I know
Not in me
It's in You

It's all I know

And I find peace
When I'm confused
I find hope when
I'm let down
Not in me
But in You

I hope to lose myself
For good
I hope to find it in the end
Not in me
It's You
It's all I know


This week I had problems with MOM (ministry of manpower) suppose to collect my card but I didn't have my SPM cert with me. Currently waiting for the courier to arrive on monday from my mom. Fridays here are like holidays in work. Cross fingers =) going to have a badminton friendly match competition on sunday lets hope our team Badminton Buddies kick some ass. Manage to catch a movie yesterday called Date Night. Was quite interesting in terms of how the storyline goes. The actor's expression was really good that we laughed till our stomachs ache.

See ya for now.

Hey from SG

I am in Singapore. Things here are good.

Highlights of the week:

-Meet nice ppl at work
-played badminton for 4 hours
- watched Clash of Titans on Thursday
- went to City Harvest Church Easter service

Work here is pretty much fun despite all the talks about here being very stressful. The thing is actually they have high expectations of your work here. That should be the phrase people should say instead of the latter.

Not many here actually know much about Malaysia. They are pretty much like us under a nut shell.

Clash of Titans was so generic. Nothing special just the common generic Greek Mythology. In my opinion it is almost like the game God of War that you play on the ps3 n psp. The most fun part was the journey to watch the movie. The MRT station was already closed at that time so we had to walk from Admiralty station to Woodlands. So we had a fun run =)

Badminton wise here the courts are much better maintained. Imagine a court with nice flooring, nice clean toilets and air conditioned. Yes most of the courts in Malaysia are air conditioned but wait till you see the courts here. I can hardly sweat in the courts here unless I really exert myself. Oh shuttlecocks here are way way EX!!

Yesterday it was my first time at City Harvest Church. The service was HUGE !!! They have a newspaper for a bulletin lol. Pastor Kong Hee was talking about the new location. He made it CLEAR that if any case you wish not to contribute you can do so. He also apologised that he didn't reveal much to the public on the matter due to the non-disclosure agreement which was stated in the shareholders agreement otherwise they will lose the deal to the location. The decision made for the location was made in the Extraordinary General Meeting by voting members of CHC.

I have to say that their presentation for Easter was something really different. They did a modern personification of how God died for us. They sang lady gaga's Bad romance but changed the lyrics into Jesus terms haha. All thanks goes to Jason for the invitation and extremely VIP seats.

Tata for now.

If you are calling from Malaysia my mobile number is 0291419443

Things to do later:
1) open a DBS bank account
2) go for badminton at 12 and 7
3) catch the Man U vs Chelsea Match (really looking forward to some thrashing -Best man wins)
4) finish up my research for my work
