God loves you. do the same thing back...

iLove?

Hi,

This day, Friday. Everyone is all busy and hype out about spring break especially all the Americans. So fortunate that these Americans can go back to their hometowns. We internationals, can't really go any where beside going to DC or New York or Florida or Atlanta. I kinda expensive to go alone but in groups will surely be cheap. But knowing me so well that i won't go to these places. Even though much wantingness to go to those places. Oh well, if God provides me with the money then i might go.

I won't be traveling anywhere for these spring break that is going to happen in one week time. Staying here with the internationals students to eat, play, sleep, study and sleep.

Anyway, at school everything is alright, usual stuff. Oh today at convocation was really exciting. Today the worship team presents us with their choir. The choir is the same size as our church choir. I'm serious. except the church i went here. They did a new version of the Lord we lift up your name(don't really know the title). It was like jazzy and it was really well done. Very catchy and the words of the song can just get stuck to your head. Awesome stuff. Then the preacher today was pretty good. The sermon is about the spiritual amour.

Then classes were alright. After that went to Tilley center or student center to play basketball. I flopping played basketball for 4 hours. Crazy right. at the same time went to the gym to jog, cycle and a bit of light weights. Man, i was super crazily tired to the max. I couldn't run and play properly at the end. My body just say to me just quit now and go home and sleep please. So i stop at 1130pm.

Now back home, shower and type this post out and ready to be knock out by my tiredness. So nighty night.

iMug,

Got you at my scopes. One shot one kill

Black Night Opts

Hey,

Today was alright too. Pretty fine. Classes today okay too. So you know what I'm going to say, the usual stuff.

Besides the usual stuff, i went at night to the girl's basketball practice. Just to see my friend work in the team. Is a he that is working in the basketball team. Anyway, the basketball team work a lot. And seeing their training is just reminds me of my school years. Yea...and the coach was kind enough to train with them. So it was fun and all. Sorry though no picture.

Anyway, I'm back home and ready to sleep. So till then nighty night

At my scope,

All in a days job.

Times It!!!

Hello,

Today things seems pretty alright. Usual stuff. I just can't wait for nintendo DSi to come out. Wishing it was here already. =) anyway, that is all. nighty night.

WEE!!!,

Give Your Best Shot

Such A Blow Out!!

Hi there,

Today seems happy and sad. First the happy, well classes today ended early and on time and it seems that I'm getting the hang of studying. Is like habit already, and my body knows it. There is a drive in me to keep on pushing myself to do better. So you guys know this, the usual for me. in and out of class and study and homework. Done.

The sad. Today was our home basketball game. And this match is the big one or the boom or the tough one. Cause this match determines who will get 2nd place. Yes, you guys must be tired of hearing that we hardly lose and keep on winning. Well our school that good, we are 3rd in the Big South.

Anyway, the match today was just a blow out. We lost. It was hard for us cause we weren't playing our full squad. So is tough. We were just over powered by them. If we meet them again with our full squad, we will going to mess them up properly.

here are some pictures...
this is our half time show. Seeing small kids play.
they were really funny to watch and cute also. hehe
Our team(in gray) was trying very hard to put in some buckets but couldn't find the answer. They try every approach to score and can't find it.
long discussion in our branch. the couch was getting upset and was pretty quite the whole evening.
All smiles here. This team was killing us with steals, shooting beyond the arc and quite tough defense

the end result, we lost. badly. Is just to embarrassing to put the score up here in my blog.

Well, we are still 3rd, we are going to play in NCAA. Hope will be the winners for our conference. =)

Anyway, i got to really sleep now. Tired. And tomorrow is just a lot of things to do. So see you later.

nighty night

@#$%!,

Be careful who you dealing with. On guard.

Long Haul.

Hi,

Busy Monday. Monday Blues. The usual for me. Study, homework, rest, basketball/workout, rest, study, homework and sleep. Nothing big happen today. Now I'm starting to wish for things to happen or praying about it. Well seeing so many rich and average and poor people here and still studying is amazing that life still go on.

It is still winter here till i think end of March or mid-March. The weather some times can get really crazy and at times just nice(like room temperature). Winter is nice and all but there is a downside. There is a 70% chance that you touch people or stuff that you will get static shock. Yea, static shock. Is unavoidable. Morning i wake up, go to bathroom, get shock. Go out of the room, get shock. Shake hands with someone, get shock. I don't know how the conduct is coming from but is a sure shock. hehe. No wonder that many people die during this time, due to static shock. I can't wait to see spring, cause i want to see the flowers, life to spring out. There is another 2 weeks more to spring break(i don't know why, but is actually still in winter but this school call it spring break).

Tomorrow will be a exciting day cause our school team is coming back home from the road to play at home. There is a match tomorrow and it is a big match. Cause this is the fight for 2nd place. And we are sought of fighting our second rival. I think is going to be a really tough match and crazily exciting match. After this match is NCAA tournament that they will enter in. Cause now all the teams from all over the US state are competing in their own conferences. Like Big South, Big East, Big West, etc then the top teams(i think top 10 from each conferences) will play in the NCAA.

So big day tomorrow. Do continue to keep me in your prayers. God bless, keep strong in the faith and be the light to this dark world.

Nighty night. bye bye

Immense,

Hard Days Work

Hey,

Sunday is great. Church is great. After church i stay in rest and study and sleep. Now sleeping more to get ready for school tomorrow.

That all. Oh continue to pray for me. =) as i also am praying for you. =)

nighty night.

Easy life,

Incomplete Move...

Hi,

Saturday, fun day, great day. hehe. Today i sleep-in and it was great. Even though now I'm super awake. Sleep till 11am went out for basketball with my dorm friends. Yea, our dorms have competition every Saturday just against each other. Fun stuff. So today was basketball, we usually play other stuff or hang out. Anyway, it was fun then went for lunch.

i came back home after that, shower, and sleep again. Till 4pm. Do some studying and homework. Rest again. And again study and homework.

Now going to watch a movie then sleep for tomorrow. Sunday, Church day. So see you guys another 10 months = 44 weeks = 308 days = 7392 hours = 443520 minutes = 26611200 seconds till i get back. Actually is less by two weeks i think cause the day i come back is in December or earlier. >.< so grow in Faith, grow in Love, grow in Unity, grow as a Family and grow as people spiritual powered by God. (i sound like Paul in the Bible, hehe) keep the teaching of God close to you. Encourage and Love one another.

bye bye, nighty night.

1 Corinthians 14

1 Corinthians 14

Gifts of Prophecy and Tongues

¹Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. ²For anyone who speaks in a tongue^[a] does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit.^{[b] 3}But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort. ⁴He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. ⁵I would like every one of you to speak in tongues,^[c] but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues,^[d] unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified.

⁶Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction? ⁷Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? ⁸Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? ⁹So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. ¹⁰Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. ¹¹If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me. ¹²So it is with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.

¹³For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says. ¹⁴For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. ¹⁵So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind. ¹⁶If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand^[e] say "Amen" to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying? ¹⁷You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified.

¹⁸I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. ¹⁹But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.

²⁰Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults. ²¹In the Law it is written:
"Through men of strange tongues
and through the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people,
but even then they will not listen to me,"^[f] says the Lord.

²²Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers. ²³So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who do not understand^[g] or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind? ²⁴But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand^[h]comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all, ²⁵and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, "God is really among you!"

Orderly Worship

²⁶What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church. ²⁷If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. ²⁸If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God.

²⁹Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. ³⁰And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. ³¹For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. ³²The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. ³³For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.
As in all the congregations of the saints, ³⁴women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. ³⁵If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

³⁶Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? ³⁷If anybody thinks he is a prophet or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord's command. ³⁸If he ignores this, he himself will be ignored.^[i]

³⁹Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. ⁴⁰But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.

Hey,

Today is just a day that i want to sleep. My roommate was sought of up all night, playing some Chinese Online Game that he needs to finish. Is getting crazy, non-stop clicking here and there. The worse thing he tends to speak very loud. OMG!!! can't take it but by the Grace of God, i shall be patient and pray for him to change. Everyday non-stop playing that game. I don't know what is it called but for sure is not WoW.

That is just the downside of him. The good-side, he is willing to help me out in things. Like supper, he is from China, and Chinese people like their noodles. So he has like a hidden treasure filled with instant noodles. So he allows me to take as much as I'm hungry.

Anyway, so i woke up at 7am in the morning, went to school to eat breakfast. It was alright, not like other days. Later, i went to the computer lab to check emails and hang around till my 9am class starts. Here my day just get worse and better. First i check my school email and to find out that both my morning classes are cancel because both the teachers have to go back to hometown for some reason. Which i got piss cause i woke up for no reason so. That means i have to check my emails before i go to school. I was flopping tired and sleep cause roommate. HIAZ!!!

After that everything was alright. So my first class of the day was at 1235pm. So i hang around the computer lab, surf here and there. Chat with new people. And was dieing slowly, sleep of course. Class finish, i went to dinner then play basketball. I know i was tired but i need to play. Is like a addiction now. I nearly play everyday. Some how staying here, the muscles in my body are not aching or in pain. Everyday i feel fresh. Must be the weather, talking about weather, it was blazing windy man that means super cold. Is still winter, spring is coming in March.

In March there is spring break, YEA!!!, will miss the cold weather. Back on track, basketball today is awesome. i'm starting to have level of play like i play in Malaysia but better. Playing full court here is simple awesome. Loving it every moment i play here. People here at the basketball courts are beginning to recognize me and letting me play more of my game. So is good.

Going to bed now. Just crazyly tired from school and basketball. I was awake from 7am to now which is 11pm. So must sleep. Good night.

Hi,

My day seems alright. Is really cold today. Is not in the negative but like 2°c-4°c today with wind. Cold!!!

Same old routine. Besides that, i have been here for 2 months already. Well, I'm settling in quite alright, make friends by the day or weeks, got to know my surroundings pretty well, wishing for supper most of the time, and church is awesome. How I am? cold, thinking to much, devotion is strong as ever and missing home already.

So i got another 10 months to go. Spring break is coming in 2 weeks time, Yes finally a holiday. Man, this Americans hardly has any holiday unlike Malaysia. Malaysia has like every month such so kind holiday, prophet holiday, king holiday, school holiday and etc.

Hmm...I'm missing the food in Malaysia already, Chinese food, Indian food, Malay food, Mix culture food, and food. Here has some sought of Chinese food but it taste like American Chinese. No real taste, not even close to Malaysian food. Well, have to go through it.

i guess many of you are thinking now. How does Joel look like there now, bigger, taller, big and tall, fat, thin, skinny, stronger? i look the same, maybe i have growed taller. But i think I'm more stronger, faster, quicker, handsome?(no self-image, hehe) than last time.

For those playing basketball in Malaysia. Wondering whether i can touch rim. I'm there already. But can't dunk yet. Even many Americans here can't dunk here, some only some. To my amazement many Americans are shorter or same height than me. But playing with them is a whole different level. they are more accurate, teamwork, fast, and flying(some). Yes, i can touch rim effortlessly. So i got another 10 months to go to dunk.

Once I'm back, i'll be flying, bring on the alley-hoop. And maybe play with some outsiders. hehe crashing time. hehe.

Well, i got to go to bed now. Tomorrow is a friday. Weekend is coming. YEA!!!. Oh do continue to pray for me. Most important thing to me now is financial. I'm looking around for scholarships and is hard to get. Pray for me to get it. Pray for the financial situation that is happening in US, hope that they can resolve it.

(i try to take a picture of myself to judge for yourself). till then nighty night.

Awaken,

Hi,

Today is a long day for me. Waking up at 7am till now is long. And no naps in between. Gosh I'm sleepy typing this post out.

Anyway, today was quite good, being to be recognize by the American people. They are beginning to talk to me and share stuff. Classes today are more relax too cause today as i woke up and outside was a snow blazer. It was crazy. Snow and Rain combine makes super dangerous weather. People all falling down here and there. So well i was quite wet end of the day. The rain was on and off. The snow, it snow for the whole morning and it stop by afternoon the snow are cleared. But the sun didn't come out though.

After school which is about 4pm. Had to go to a friends place. Yeap. This friend is a Malaysian and his whole family is down here living with him, so i can't stay with him. =( Anyway, i went to his house with other Malaysians to make food. Why make food? As you remember that this week is Missions week, so on of the days which is today that all the internationals students from each country must made their own food from their own country. hehe. So what did we Malaysians make. We made curry puff and fried meehoon. So today we were making the curry puff as we were making, we all also talk about Malaysian food.

Here some pictures that of the food we made...
mee
curry puff

Both the dishes were made by my friend's mom. Both of the dishes were awesome and tasty. YUMMY!!!.

So this event is call the taste of nations. Where we get to eat other food. So me and my friends went to all the tables to try out. All seems nice and tasty but can't compare to Malaysian food. hehe. It was a good event but i think it was set on the wrong date.

Now I'm going to sleep in Jesus. Get most needed rest for tomorrow. Another note that Nintendo announces a New Nintendo DSi is coming soon. Which I'm getting it. So my birthday present is coming later in the year by April 5, 2009. Have to wait. The specs on this is great. Here is a look, click here

Here is a picture of it...
It has a build-in camera, one inside and outside. But this doesn't support the old games from GBA, so a bit sad. I'm still getting this. Birthday present.

Falling in love it already to much.
I got the games i want. Is just the buying now.

Anyway, Joel needs sleep. So good night.

Drools.

Hope tomorrow was good weather.

Yo,

Well my day is well routine. Things going according to how it should be. Going classes, studying and workout. Been here almost more than 2 months already. It is almost like i know everyone in campus. Faces of people are so similar and everyone is your friend but not close friend. I guess that is college life.

This is where everyone tells me that you get your best friends here or closes friends here. Well, it all depends on the person. I'm talking nonsense cause I'm typing this is the night went I'm super tired.

Going to sleep has been better every time. So catch me tomorrow. nighty night.

Hi,

Today was such a day that is just long and just super long. Today in my school there is event this whole week. This week event is missions week. Yea, my school has something on for God every week. So this week theme is missions. So they invited all the top missionaries around the world. Some came from China, India, Iraq, and other hot zones.

So during convocation, we had a missionary that went into Afghanistan, she was all over the news. Her name is Heather Mercer. She was captured for preaching about Jesus in public and at homes. This "crime" is sentences to death by gunning down or by hanging. But she and other missionaries were imprisoned for 104-106 days, i think. By the grace of God and God's power, He sends the US Marines to save them from their death.

During her time there or before she was capture. Many people got to know Jesus through watching a video or by her talking about Jesus. is amazing what God can do to protect his people.

So this whole week we got many seminars on how to reach out to people through different ways. And also we internationals have to prepare a dish from our country. Here comes Malaysia in the picture, food. I can only think Malaysia is good with food. No other world can come close except you are super rich to afford those high class food. We(as in 5 of us, Malaysians here) still in the don't what to prepare cause we have to much variety of food. But thank God is on Wednesday. So we have time to think and prepare it. =) God be with us. hehe

Other then that, my day today. Is alright. Except during my last class. The teach was banging on us and hitting us hard. That we should not neglect God word and so on. He told us 5 things but for now i can only remember 4 things. There are Pray, Read, Write, Do and ? i not sure of the last one. Will find out ;p

Now I'm at home. Going to sleep soon. Do continue to keep me in prayer. Pray that i'll learn as fast as possible and finish quickly. I'm in a decision on doing a minor, in youth ministry or sound engineering, pray that God will grant me His will to direction on this. Pray for my financial here, help find scholarships, or someone that can sponsor me, or help me financially. Pray for protection, even though here is quite a safe but as I'm alone here. Pray for my spiritual health that i stay focus on God and meditate on His Word daily. I think i have covered the areas i need prayer in. i have also been praying for you guys too.

It is good to pray for everyone. Today also i learn something new. PRAYER has a acronym.

P is Praise, praise God with all your heart.
R is Repentance, we all must always repent to God daily, even though you think you didn't sin.
A is Ask, ask God what you/others need. NEED not a WANT, there is a different.
Y is Yield. To tell you the truth, you don't know how selfish you are. Just listen to your prayer.
E is Expectation. This is hard but expect that God will do something in your life or friends life. Just be patient.
R is Rejoice. rejoice cause you Jesus in your life. He has set you free from sin. Rejoice for your friends.

Well got to sleep now. Tried from today. Must get ready for a great day ahead of me. God bless my day and the all my friends day and family. Grant them the energy they need to do what they need to do. Be their guide and wisdom. Amen

nighty night.

Hello,

Sunday, great day. God's day. Today in America people are celebrating Darwin's birthday. It crazy to here this that a country used to claim they are a Christian Country. The ironic about this celebration also is that it is also Abraham Lincoln birthday too and no one is celebrating his birthday. See how the world has change so much in the past few years. And is a sad thing.

Church today really hit hard in people's heart. The message is so powerful that it got me thinking. The preach today is one of the powerful speaks that are fighting against all the scientist of the world. Fighting about? creation and evolution. The preach told us that England and America and other big countries are falling apart from God. Especially England, where it use to be a Christian country has die down into a atheism country. Many churches there have and had been closed because people have no interest in God. America is also becoming now.

Think, about 80% is England have already stop going to church and is creeping in America. Christians are dieing in the west. But in the east or Asia we are growing in Faith and Wanting to know God more. Why is this happening? Well people like answers and answers that they can see. Which end's up people liking atheism cause is all around us. Television, radio, and the crazy facts that atheist scientist are giving. Simply Crazy.

I thank God that i found my truth in Him. And i will defend my faith all my life till I can see Jesus again and be with Him forever. To simply put it, people can't handle the truth. It burns their ears and cause guilt in their hearts. Is true that people like to think highly of themselves, think they are gods. To tell you the truth you are just a nothing to God. God see you and me as nothing and yet God loves you and me.

Man, the preach was good, he hit me very hard. His whole reading was in Genesis 1-12(I'm not to sure about the chapter but i know is taken from there). Is amazing what he told us.

Anyway, that was my day. Going to see now. Till then. bye bye

Hi,

My day seems alright. Had a long rest. woke up around 9am. Did finish up some homework. Feeling great. In the evening, went to eat dinner. And the most wonderful dish ever. Waffles with ice cream and with hot chocolate fudge. To my amazement, many Americans and international think that I'm crazy mixing waffles with ice cream. Cause usually they mix with honey, butter, and strawberries. So it was a first to everyone. So i went they try it. And yes of course they like it. I'm going to see people going to do it. hehe. So a lot of people are starting to know me true this. And they think that this is a Malaysian dish. LOL right? If any of you American see this or Internationals, this dish is from a fast food store that i got. It is from A&W. Yeap, the rootbeer store. So this is not a Malaysian dish.

Then went to basketball. Yea, today was more fun course the really good players are not around. So today was slightly easier to play. After the basketball i went to the gym to work out. And is good. did some cardio and weights. Well actually I'm required to do these things. Cause it is for my class. Yea, it is part of my Kinesiology major. I'm starting to love my major. I know later i have to learn some theories. It is going to be one long journey ahead of me.

I'm going to sleep now. Tomorrow is God's day, i mean it is a Sunday. So will need the rest. Catch me later. nighty night.

Greatness will come,

Hey,

Today things are pretty much great. Classes today were all finish earlier. Because we have more students coming in this year. Yea, this students are the local and across American and Canadian. These group have finish high school and now looking for a University or College. So today at Convo, it was a full house, all the sits and every part of the stadium was pack with people. Crazy, can see even people standing here and there in groups.

During Convocation, the Worship and Word is totally AWESOME and SPIRIT-FILLED. Can just sense the presences of God in the building. The Worship songs today, they played all the songs that we play in church every Sunday today, it is unusual for them because they play their own songs. Yea, Liberty was their own Worship songs and have a team or several teams that go across America to do concerts/gigs. Awesome right. You can get their albums in iTunes also. Under podcast. Great huh?

The Word today. Is strong. It really speck to me. The preach is from our school, one of the many deans we have. He preach his whole sermon from Psalms 27(Che cha, teach Nat this one, make sure she memories this one). It applies to all of us. Read about it. I'm not going to share it here.

I had only two classes today because my morning classes were cancel due to this CFAW(the new American and Canadian kids). Because the LU(Liberty Uni) faculty had to use the classes rooms that i use to go. So class cancel. I had a really great time. Love it.

Later in the day, i played basketball. Man, i love working these American people. You know you guys see me play, i move a lot here and there and some times i just run and run and run till make many of you tried. I did it to some of the American people here. hehe. (think we, Asian people no stamina, or don't know how to play ball. teach you lesson). Is truth, well this guy, only this guy was marking me so tight. So i had to do something to cut him lose. So i did that thing on him. Did to him every time we push court. For 21 points, non-stop. At the end of that game, he was freaking tired, he had to get so water and did come back for 10 minutes later. And they all the American people were shock, they thought i was on drugs or something.

Anyway, i play a good, 2 hours of full-court with non-stop running and moving every where. i love it to see the face of my opponent super tired till is hard for them to make a proper shot or lay-up and worse out of breath. Once my opponent is die tired that i the time i play even worse on him. Will make his team mates scold him for not marking me, that he will start to foul me and all. (this is only if i play like tournament, yea, during school times). Well, you guys know me, i can go on for hours and hours till my work is done.

After that, came home, shower, do a mini workout and check some email and stuff. Now going to sleep. Saturday is coming. Great things are ahead or just homework to be done.

Oh i nearly forgot, today at the dining hall at the Chiense food department. They were serving Char Siew(pork). Yeap, and the is slightly below than our Char Siew in Malaysia. Taste good but below Malaysian standard. I made sure i ate a lot of it. Char Siew man, is so rare here.

So nighty night.

Oh another thing, this school is sponsored by Pepsi and other drinks also. And you know me, hate it. I don't know why, they like Pepsi and Dr. Pepper(i tried it and it taste like cough syrup). So the whole campus or my stay here, i hardly get a drink of coke. I have to buy from outside. So went i get back, stock up my coke. hehe.

Psalms 27

Psalm 27

Of David.

¹ The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?

² When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh, ^a]">[a]
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.

³ Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.

⁴ One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.

⁵ For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.

⁶ Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.

⁷ Hear my voice when I call, O LORD;
be merciful to me and answer me.

⁸ My heart says of you, "Seek his ^b]">[b] face!"
Your face, LORD, I will seek.

⁹ Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
O God my Savior.

¹⁰ Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.

¹¹ Teach me your way, O LORD;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.

¹² Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
breathing out violence.

¹³ I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.

¹⁴ Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.

i think this will apply very well with those and me, who are at overseas now.

Given Rights Alright?

Hey,

Today is one hectic day. So much to do. I had a very big test today. It is my computer assessment test. Yea, as you remember i fail the first test and now this is my second shot at it. Have to know all the Microsoft Office programs, kinda retarded. But i have study hard on it. The whole day i was thinking about it and so worry that i will fail.

The test was at night at 7.30pm. Why? because they have to accommodate all the other students that finish school around 5pm. Then go for dinner at 5pm. Going through the test was rather quite easy. I remember all the formats and things to do. And i pass it. hehe.

So i had a long day today. Going to sleep now. Tomorrow will be good cause the weekend is near. That means fun. hehe. Till then nighty night.

Fall,

SingleColored.

Hey,

Today i was just tired and energetic. Classes today was very relaxing but some are intense. So many things are due, thank God that i got some of them done and already 90% done with all of them. Now is just double checking my work to make sure it is in the prefect paper to present to the teacher.

Basketball for me, on the other hand. I'm have improve, not in vertical but a better player. Since people here like to play full-court. I think i have improve in my stamina, faking, moving without the ball and with the ball and also passes. Yea, people here like to pass a lot till one guy or guys are wide open to make a three or a nice lay-up or a horrific crazy dunk. Either one, everyone will make noise, if he makes it. Over here, the basketball players, they or i should say we hardly dribble anymore, is all passing. Dribble is to bring ball up-court or went your defender is playing loosely. And is more fun. So maybe I'm a different player went i get back or i just be the go-to-guy for scoring. hehe

Anyway, I'm quite tired now, going to sleep now. till then night night

Hi,

Today was slow for me. Everything felt slow too. Must be that I'm a bit tired. @.@ Anyway, school was alright. Played basketball in the night. Even though was not much of a work out. Sad.

Doing some homework. And i'll be done for the day. So nighty night

Big Fish,

Creation Created

Hi,

Hmm...this week is going to be a whole lot busier than other days. Because papers are due and test coming. So study, study and study. Thank God that I'm almost done with all my due papers and just getting ready for test. Well, is good that I'm in study mode. Must be the 2 years of waiting that made me want to study. hehe.

Today was rather light even though i had 5 classes. The teachers were relax and i think they want to teach little today. Everyone today was slow moving from my first class to convocation to more classes. People look a little zombie like. Well must be the gigs or concert that we had during the weekends. I didn't go because being a good boy, i stay at home and study till i sleep. =)

Learning to live in college is hard at me at times. Cause there is so many activities that i can do and go like concerts, seminars, movies, and sports. Every week there is something on especially games, basketball games, American-football games, hockey games, tennis games, and going to have soccer games(oh i wish i had learn soccer, so can join the team =P) Movies here that is shown in schools are all pg-13, so i won't get to 300, kill bill or whatever that is above pg-13. I think the is going to show Dark Knight on Saturday. Yea, get to watch it again. But the graving activity that i want to do is play paintball. Yeap, we have our very own paintball field and all the gear. Is cheap also. I like 25 dollars for the amour, gun(double-trigger) and i think 500 bullets. Awesome right? Another thing i didn't know about this school is that they have the other side of the mountain is a shooting range. Yes, is legal to hold/have a gun here. That is why the story about the Asian dude in Virginia Tech can get a gun so easily. Anyway, yes the school has a shooting range. Will take picture went i get to go there.

Well this school is well supply with fun and entertainment but also having want of the best education system in American. I'm not lying or anyway is all true, and is still growing to be the best school. Even though is still not top rank yet but is climbing itself up there. I believe that God is doing a marvelous blessing to this school even though this year the economic for American is quite bad now but the school is still having students coming in for fall in-take, still giving out scholarships and blessing students with so many things. Is amazing what God is doing to this school.

Today at convocation, was pretty alright. Worship is good, preaching is good but a bit off. The preacher preach a good sermon of repentance but what he ask us to do is, i felt something is up. He ask to take this piece of paper that has a list of sinful things and told us to check those that you have and at your own personal time with God, you seek forgiveness and repentance. But in the paper some of the sinful things are a bit ridiculous. Like listening to rock/rap is a sin? Is crazy cause there are Christian rock/rap and even so some came from this school too. Why are you banging on rock/rap? Well to me i think he is a bit old school and a bit harsh. Anyway, the message is still some what revealing to my heart, seek forgiveness and repentance.

So much things are still going through my head. Thinking to much. I guess i at times worry to much too. So much of having a cheapo mind set. Must cut down on living expenses and school expenses too. God, i pray that you help me. You are my source and my everything.

Do continue to pray for me, going to bed now, so nighty night

Facts to Know

Hi,

Well Sunday, God day, Rest day. Today is good, manage to finish all my homework in time, also have time to study also. =) good on you, Joel.

Well i got a handphone now. The number is i give you through email or msn.

I got so much going through my mind. Moving of campus, car, games, gadgets, "people" and better life. I think I'm going through a slight depression here and well missing home is dear in my heart now. But i made a decision to come here, i have to make the most of it. Need to find ways to be financially secure.

Dear God,

You have place me here for a purpose. That purpose is to study and accomplish my goal for You. I pray that You help me to find or guide or give to be financially secure in studying in Liberty University. God, You are my source of income. I give my whole life to You in all areas in my heart. I want Your desires to be my desires. Cause in this life i got nothing to gain except through You, Jesus. You are the source of my everything. I pray again, help me o Lord, God Almighty. In Jesus Name i pray.

Amen.

i love this school a lot. their system of education is so focus on God's Word and it is the core foundation to it. In all my syllabus, all have Bible verses in it. Which is amazing to see. Is amazing time flies so fast. Is already going to be mid Feb. March is coming. Today's weather was good, it was like 20°C and is getting hotter. Well spring is has to come. I want to see the flowers and birds and butterflies. But hope won't have over load of bugs. hehe

Church today was good. The preach is from our school, more like my professor for evangelism. hehe. He preach a really good sermon on James 5:13-20. Read it and think about it. It seems so harsh and a bit hard to understand. The book of James is a highly debated book. Yeap, there is a lot of debate on it. But to me, there is a lot to learn from it and know it porperly. In school, i have to study this book now. Yea, finish with the gospels already, so reading Acts in parts, reading James now and later Galatians. Yea.

Anyway, i got to sleep already. I know is already 1pm in Malaysia but is 12am here and a day behind you. >.< Do continue to pray for me. Coming here is already a blessing and studying also is so mych a blessing. Now is the continuation of it. Hope to finish everything in 3 years. And maybe have a major or a minor in youth ministry or ministry. Praying about that too. Anyway, have a presant day ahead of you, am going to sleep. Nighty night.

Antimatter Nightmare

Hey,

As I'm here for a more than a month, and spent three weeks of school since it started. What i know about this place and the people. Okay, here it goes, first the place. Here is like a kampung, is not like New York or those big cities, where they have bigger malls, food places, and "people"(get it? here got a lot). Well I'm alright with it cause i got nothing much to buy here, nothing urgent/important/need to buy for myself. Second, the buses or transportation and drivers here; drivers here are slow and friendly, they will/ want you to across first then only they will go their way, jam to them is went they wait for 10 minutes is traffic jam. Buses here, are good, on time and you would know went come unlike Malaysia. But Malaysia bus drives are the ultimate drivers unlike here.

The bus system here doesn't stop anywhere, they stop at the bus stop if you want to get down or up from the bus(which suck). But thank God the stops are all near by the school and the school own the buses, so is free ride to school everyday. Anyway, the drives here are quite bad, they don't no how to slow down, they know how to drive and break hard. Their way of slowing down is buy breaking hard a few times. Okay, now the third thing, the people here look at all Chinese as the same, all come from China. Which is means can't speak and write good English. So they stereotype us. And get the usual shock that Malaysians or other internationals that can speak good English. Also a few of them will mix with "internationals". So it will be hard for me to get "people".

Lastly, there is only five Malaysians here, all Chinese. So how do i grade Virginia, Lynchburg. I give it a 7/10 maybe a 7.5/10 just because of the school, best school. How is my day today, well usual. Nothing to explain here. Going to bed. Do continue to pray for me. Miss you all so dearly much. Is already Feb so which makes 10 more months to go. So good afternoon, Malaysia, have a good big nice lunch as for me, going to sleep, so is nighty night to me.

oh i hear about Markus Ng, it is a sad. 23 years old. I think i might met him through my parents, i don't know him personally, maybe as distant friend. Anyway, Markus Ng you are in a great place now. More of him, check his website.

Reflecter of Joy

Hello,

Today was quite alright. Nothing different, classes and homework. Yea. everyday is study and homework. Thank God that i still have time for myself/God/Fun. I think next semester will be more busy. Well, things are getting more busy cause the knowledge is more than few weeks back.

Anyway, at night, went to play basketball. Got shooo off the court. Cause there was intermurals. I didn't join cause no one pick me also because hardly anyone know me yet. So got kick out of the courts. Then i went to another gym in the school. Yea, there is two gyms, this one is a bit run down but people still go. This gym is used for classes, like my kinesiology class. Yea, my class is to play basketball. hehe. i true. not kidding. I have to learn how to play basketball/soccer/volleyball/handball/and others. Is part of my course. So this gym is hardly pack with people. But still had great fun playing with American people. =)

Just wanting to slam dunk. I'm getting there. Need to train even more harder. Most the drills i do is beginning to piato. So work harder. =) Anyway, got to sleep soon. Few checks of my email and some of my work then i'll be done. So till then nighty night.

Raining Snow

Hi,

My day has been quite good. Classes are getting more fun and also more work. ISH!!!. But nothing that i can't really handle. If i can't just ask the teacher. This past few days(2days) has been really cold. Is like almost -2 in the day and at night almost reach -5. Which is crazy.

Anyway, i forgot to post up some pictures of snow. Yea i think it was two days back. That in the night it snowed. It was cool, cause in the day everything was sunny and everywhere was covered by snow. All white. YEA!!! So here is some pictures...

This is was out side my dorm. White.

Overated Human.

Hi,

Monday, most busy day for me. 5 classes is a lot. From morning at 9am to 6pm. One super long day. Thank God that tomorrow, i can rest a little more.

Nothing much happen today. The usual classes and people i meet. Still finding, hoping to find the right one. =)

Got a lot of homework to do. I been reading the Gospel and came across this part of scripture. Which i was shock to see.

1"All this I have told you so that you will not go astray. 2They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. 3They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. 4I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you.

taken from John 16:1-3

Is a real shocker. No wonder the world today is such destruction. People we have to be ever stronger in our faith in Jesus, rise up to opportunity to tell about Jesus to everyone and anyone. We must be bold for Jesus. We have so little time left. And really mean it. Is getting ever scarier and scarier each day. Pray more and more with emotion and wanting/needing to see our family members and friends to come to Christ. The time is near that Jesus is coming again.

Pray, Faith, Bold for Jesus.

On the cliff of time,

Hanging in the February Lounge

Hello,

Feb is here. It is a Sunday. Well, i did some homework. Studied a little. And make sure i hang out. =) I can say that Americans are crazy over super bowl which is American football. Which is starting today i think. I don't know cause i don't really like American football. I don't know the rules and plays and anything American Football.

I know for sure that they are willing to do anything to be able to watch it on time. So today, Sunday. Every thing was set one hour earlier. The night church that suppose to start at 6pm has move to 5pm. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is also set one hour earlier. Man, they really like football. i know one thing for sure that American football has one of the shortest plays ever. Once the ball is throw in the air and catch by another player the game is over then is the next play. One play usually last about or average about 6 seconds. So mostly is quite boring. And all Americans say that you got to watch it "live". I think so to.

I didn't watch it cause i got other priorities to do like homework and church. Church today is great. Getting use to their church style. In my ways they are similar to our church but at the same time super different. For instance worship, they sing 2 songs then a solo singer to sing a solo worship song then they show baptism then some announcements then 1 worship song that doesn't not require you to stand then Word. All done in 2 hours. After Word, no one stays back. Everyone rushes home. But their worship songs are the same as ours except the solo and last song. The 2 last songs are their own make song. Okay, i know our church haven't gone to the stage of making our own songs yet. But can see some similarities? after church we stay back and chit chat and try to find out where to eat lunch. Here, is not, people just rush home, they don't want to know you and whatever. I don't know whether this is a bad thing or a good thing.

I'm looking forward to serve soon in the church or is campus church. I want to. My hands are itch not to serve for God in PA or you guys know, working in the background.

Oh i forgot today's Word is awesome. Is actually for parents. But i think it can apply to all. The preach talk about parenting kids. And this preach is real into it. Wanting these parents to keep their kids save from this world culture. Note to Joel: is time to take down notes during sermon, so can teach some things for the people back home in Malaysia. =)

Anyway, i got to sleep already. Got a super long day tomorrow. Till then, nighty night.

Chill,
