Quest to find Coke.
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.

Given Rights Alright?
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.

SingleColored.
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
80 foot buzzer beater.
Saw this video, insane man. High school, must be one lucky person that day.
Watch it. It's a bit blurry. But watchable

Creation Created
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
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,
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.
