m.o.u.r.n


My heart mourns, but who would understand?

I have compassion for the lost, those who are in hurt, in need, in bitterness

I pray that one day, you would come to Christ, one day, your whole family be saved

I pray that gospel that I share, the love that I show, would not be said of me, but rather point you to Christ.

This post is dedicated to a aunty I know, she and her husband have gone separate ways,

her 3rd daughter, divorced; 2nd son's marriage in jeopardy; eldest son just married, baby just reached a month old, now they are filing for divorce.

Family curse ?

I do not underestimate the work of the devil, but I know,

I have a Greater God,

God would stomp the devil under His feet, and nothing, no curse can bind anybody,

Because Jesus lives

But I see many in bondage, not because my God is not Great, because we don't want help, we think we can manage our problems on our own.

Do you not hear the cries of those in pain, in sorrow, in bitterness ?

Are you oblivious to the fact because it is not you that is in the situation ?

Do you not care?

My heart weeps and my soul is bitter.

I have done what I can. But unless the Lord builds the house, the builders build in vain (okay, not a good verse)

My point is, human efforts are futile and meaningless unless God intervenes

I pray Lord

SAVE THEM





Kampar, a land of "too many" memories

Reminiscing the past 3 years

gosh, I love this place

somehow or rather, I would say I have not left this place, unchanged

UTAR Library


Yesterday I went to the library to renew the borrowing of a textbook, after scanning the book, the librarian told me that I cannot borrow the book any more


Librarian: Your student ID expires on 23/5/2011, and because each borrowing period is 2 weeks, the book would have passed the 23 if you were to renew it. You have to go DSA and extend/renew (something like that) the date, only then can you borrow the book


Me: But I just need it for my exam 2 days away, Can I un-return it then pay a fine for it after my paper ?


Librarian: No, I'm sorry, I have already scanned the book, you would have to follow the normal procedure, go DSA and get it done


Me: But by the time I did that my exam would be over


Librarian: Sorry, have to follow the rules


On another thought, all these means I would only have less than 2 weeks left in UTAR, I'm going to leave this inefficient, troublesome and highly procedur-ized university


I would miss you, UTAR
