Laziness- where is thy sting?

Now it's less than 336 hours or 14 days or 2 weeks before my exam and seriously, I'm not at all prepared. Over the past 1 or 2 weeks, I've been telling myself I will surelly pass although I'm not so sure. But right now, I think my 'feelings' might be false hope. There are people who think that they are ready, but the real test is different... and the real test here is my finals- I screw this, I believe I will still survive and be successful in life (because God can turn things around) but time is wasted and I will lose blessings... just like Moses who did not enter the promised land. And even if I did survived, I will still struggle when my next exams... Therefore, I have made an effort to study and work hard. No matter what the distractions are...the sleepiness, the temptations... I believe that if I can overcome and go through this 3 weeks, I'll be able to overcome all exams to come.

Finally, this might just be mere words from me and nothing I mentioned might take place..but I can only hope that by end of this year... laziness will be my victim- through God's grace.. For God's glory and to Him be the glory if I succeed.

Worship and Thanksgiving Post

Someone told me the other day that most of my posts on this blog is related to God... and that I am holy. It was not the first time. Indeed "Without holiness, no one can see God", but again I'm not holy, in many sense. But my rationale of me dedicating this blog to the"things of God" is this: Are there any good things in this world that's not given by God? And am I not a child of God and his servant and his soldier? My life is surrendered to Him and therefore what happens in my life has something to do with God...

'Circles, Triangles and Squares'- that was the theme of the CF Camp, of which I was the camp commandant. Believe me or not, Ms Sharon Lim did 90% of the work and I express my credit & appreciation to her. But why the shapes in a christian fellowship camp? To sum it all out, we have different personalities and characters but one God to worship. And at the end of the (third) day, really, it is more of God than our personalities and characters that matters. If my life is surrendered to him, it doesn't matter if I'm violent or angry or sweet, God is the one who is my all. Moses parted the red sea; Abraham was father of a nation; Peter was 'fisher of men'... all were imperfect- but faith saved them all and God exalted them.

I hereby thank God for bringing Chris to the camp to share and minister. I thank God for bringing me through this amazing challenge as camp commandant. I thank God for touching lives of many. I thank Him for the great fellowship with brothers and sisters... and most of all I thank God for giving me freedom as eagle in the sky and the authority and courage to say "Go to HELL , Satan!"

Thank You Jesus, Amen

Boring is only the 'mask' of an amazing life

Today seems to be a boring day. But just 'seem'. Actually to come to think of it, it's really quite an interesting day.. i mean life shouldn't be boring, not just a few friends tell me that 'life is beautiful' or 'life is short, enjoy!' bla bla bla.. and well, to a certain extend, they have their point. My rationale would be:God didn't put me here to feel boring, right?

Enough about life, let's talk about here and now and today. Woke up at 730 this morning to go for a breakfast meet, which turned out to be quite meaningful.. but somehow I had to 'give and take'... I think the Roti Telur I ate turned out to be bad.. and I had food poisoning, which was quite bad, and I can still feel the 'effect' right now. Then I went to the lab with my laptop, planning to do some work but ended up chatting with my friend Jacin (who's enjoying her life in Melbourne). By the time I was done chatting, it was time to promote the CF camp in the booth. Probably the lowest point of my day, I had to endure severe stomachache while "jaga-ing" the booth (since I was alone there) for at least 15-20 minutes - 'God save me' was my response. Later when Ms Angeline came to take over, I had to suffer in the cubicle, the diarrhea was quite bad...

I got out just in time for contract class, and later tort- which nearly made me scream! I wasn't planning to answer the medical tort question and the whole class was entirely about MEDICAL TORT. Well, that's a law student's life in class... i guess. And so, after 1.5 hours of torture, i finally got out and rushed straight to the computer lab to do a learning survey, conducted by none other than the lovely Ms. Magdelene. In a way, it was much of a light part of this episode of Nic Hor's life since I won the 'survey-filling' competition with 2 of my classmates- in God we do have the victory, don't we? Just a wrong application of His Word, HAHA.

And finally, I get to blog here..after a seemingly long day. Mind you, this is not the epilogue for my version of 15th July 2005 yet. There's still a camp committee meeting in 5 minutes. And tonite might just be one of those nights...

This is really the insignificant part of my life. The micro level of it. One by one, these 'episodes' of our lives weaved into one beautiful story that will ups and downs and in-betweens. In the end, I would really hope and is convinced that when we die, we will all live happily ever after, like Cinderella or Beauty and the bees (I spelled this intentionally).

Last but not least, things such as SINS or even food poisoning are bombardments that the evil one seemed to have won. The battle might be lost, but the victory is secured in CHRIST JESUS.

Life's Mercies

It's 11 am now and in 5 minutes time my contract lecturer (Mr. Foong) will be in class and in 4 minutes time I would have to run there with all my might. However, that's not going to stop me from blogging, since I saw jthe girl beside me (in the lab) just happily putting additions into her blog. You can say that it's envyness or even impulsive, haha.

Anyway, I just finished an e-mail notifying Dr Tan Soo Inn (he's the man!), inviting him to talk about Star wars and Christianity in our CF. Well, it's almost certain he would be free to share (considering the fact that we gave him 3 dates to choose from), and I'm delirious that it would be a GREAT experience and insight... Indeed Star Wars has a lot to do with our walk with Christ even though some might not agree with me.

I just went through a hell of a busy week but thanks to GOd's grace, I managed to survive. This week? Gonna be another one of those weeks that I would really say 'Thank God it's Friday'.. assuming I live to see the weekened coming. And if you ask me how's my spiritual walk? I'm growing in maturity, but only at the great mercies that my Heavenly Father had gladly poured. May God draw me and pour His love and Grace abundantly. AMEN.

Busy and busy and...

If you are a frequent to this blog, you must be wondering what the h*** am I doing? or you must be thinking that I've given up on blogging... NO, I'm just too busy. Due to time constrains and the fact that I'm busy, these are some of my life's updates:

1. 2 assignments due this week- Just handed up contract assignment yesterday and Admin law (briefing paper) 2 will be due tomorrow. Talk about being a law student!

2. Went back to Ipoh last week; mum and dad fetched me back. Thanks. Had a great time with my family and friends... at the expense of the time doing my work. But it's ok...

3. Countdown 1 month- before my exam. And this time, it will be a craker. Although I'm optimistic about it, failing this will bring adverse, unimaginable consequences.

4. ...and finally, the blog's 'transformation' is almost done. Enjoy yourself.


Thanks all.
