Life Is A Gift

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He's always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can seeeverything, including her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend asked her, "now that you can see the world, will youmarry me?"

The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend isblind too, and refused to marry him.

Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to hersaying. "Just take care of my eyes dear."

This is how human brain changes when the status changed.

Only few remember what life was before, and who's always been there even in the most painful situations.

Life Is A Gift

Today before you think of saying an unkind word
Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife
Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.

Today before you complain about life
Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Before you complain about your children
Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep
Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job
Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.

Life is a gift
Live it
Enjoy it
Celebrate it
EMBRACE IT
And fulfill it

And while you are at it give love to someone today
Love someone with what you do and the words you say
Love is not meant to be kept locked inside of us and hidden
So give it away "Give Love to someone today

Is That Me?

First of all I would like to say my gratitude to my first cousin Emily for sharing this picture to me and now I can share to all of you. Actually at first I'm not sure whether the boy inside the picture was me (too cute to be me ba...hahaha..adess perasan oh kan....) but.. since my cousin convinced me that it was us (the cute little girl) than I just have to believe it.

During that time to being framed on picture (kena ambil gambar ba) is a great feeling and exicted but it's also one of the nervous moment in my life. Just look at the picture, I just don't know what 'gaya' should I pose (org kg gia) and compare to my cousin (KK girl kunun..) who's so relax and 'begaya' I'm more look like wanted to ran away. Anyway this picture really brought my memory back during my child hood. Sadly I don't remember much of the good times....All that came to my memory is the hardship living as a farmer sons. With no tv, radio and electricity life is so simple. At the age of 5 i have to follow my parents to 'botung' not really to help them working but becouse no body at home to take care of me... than at the age of 6 or 7 helping my parents at work is a must if not...adess...pa lagi kana 'pasut la'... still remember my parents used to be very stirct...(asik kana pasut ja...sampi lari dari rumah....hahahha..adess lucu pula bila di ingat2 skrg...). During my childhood I used to help my parents in planting paddy until it's harvest time. Beside that we have 'kebun koko, kelapa, kopi, ect as a side job. I do had much involve in taking care of our 4 buffolos (or more), pigs (adess... cute betul tu wogs punya baby ohh....), 'ayam daging & telur' (kicil-kicilan ja...) and a small shop (kadai kg...ja).

I would say our life is not that poor during that time. It's maybe hard living but not poor. All thanks to our hard working 'Bapa and Mama'. Because of your hard ship and never give up hope, we all you sons and doughters have this wonderfull life ahead. So.. Thank You so much for every sweats, tears dan bloods that drops just for the shake of giving us a comfortable life. We just cannot redo what ever 'bapa and mama' do for us...so...the only thing that we can do is to pray for you health, happiness and prosperous life ahead....THANK YOU....

p/s... baru ingat...yg paling siok masa kicik2 ialah mandi sungai, main polis pencuri dan panjat pokok jambu di sekolah....selain ada musim2 main getah gelang, buah getah, 'tubau', tapak dll... (mengeleng-geleng ja kepala ni bila ingat....hahahhaahha)

I'm Yours by Jason Mraz

well you done done me and you bet i felt it

i tried to get you but you're so hot that i melted

i fell right through the cracks

and i'm trying to get back

before the cool done run out

nothin's going to stop me but devine intervention

i reckon its again my turn to win some or learn some

i won't hesitate no more

no more it cannot wait, i'm yours
well open up your mind and see like me

open up your plans and damn you're free

look into your heart and you'll find love love love

listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me

its your godforsaken right to be loved love loved love love

so i won't hesitate no more

no more it cannot wait i'm sure

theres no need to complicate

our time is short

this is our fate, i'm yours

i been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror

and bendin over backwards just to try to see it clearer

my breath fogged up the glass

so i drew a new face and laughed

i guess what i'm sayin is there ain't no better reason

to rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons

its what we aim to doo

ur name is our virtue

i won't hesitate no more

no more it cannot wait i'm sure

theres no need to complicate

our time is short

it cannot wait, i'm yours

Bukan Hendak Ku....

Saya dalam perjalanan balik dari pejabat semasa menerima sms dari kawan yang berbunyi "Bah mari isi minyak kc penuh sblum tgah mlm..mau naik sudah pg rm2.70 per liter.." Saya pada mulanya menyangka kawan ini hanya berjenaka sb baru dua hari lepas dalam news paper mengatakan yang harga petrol akan naik bulan Ogos dan ini yg saya katakan kepada kawan saya... Namun setelah kawan itu mengatakan sudah diumumkan di TV dan meminta saya untuk melihat sendiri di nstonline maka saya tahu yg ini bukan lagi guraun..

Kenaikan minyak petrol memang sudah dijangkan memandangkan harga minyak mentah dunia telah mencapai harga yg sukar dipercayai namun begitu kenaikan sebanyak rm0.78 sen untuk petrol dan rm1.00 tuk diesel benar2 mengejutkan dan lebih tepat lagi amat sukar dipercayai. Lebih2 lagi setelah kerajaan BN baru menang dalam pilihraya baru2 ini. Saya tidak pasti jika begini kah caranya kerajaan BN berterima kasih kepada rakyat yang selama ini setia dan taat menyokong dan berdiri dibelakang BN. Terus terangan saya katakan inilah pilihanraya pertama yang mana saya berkesempatan untuk turun mengundi (DUN N5-Tandek, Sabah) kerana 2 pilihanraya sebelum ini saya masih belajar di semenanjung (dan sehingga sekarang bekerja). Dan dengan penuh kepercayan dan bangga saya memberikan sokongan saya kepada kerajaan kerana percaya hanya kerajaan BN yang mampu membawa pembangunan dan kemajuan di tempat saya dan ternyata tidak sia2 kerana BN menang di kawasan saya walaupun diletakkan muka baru untuk kerusi DUN.

Namun begitu kemenangan BN itu DIPANDANG RINGAN oleh sesetengah pihak dan yang sangat memalukan dari orang2 BN sendiri sehingga sanggup menyuarahkan agar PM meletak jawatan. Tetapi pujian diberikan kepada PM kerana beliau berani dan sanggup berhadapan dengan semua tentangan dan dugaan yang datang mengulung bagaikan badai. Namun begitu.. semua keyakinan dan kepercayaan saya terhadap kepimpinan PM mula goyah setelah pengumuman kenaikan harga petrol kemarin..... kenaikan sehinggan rm2.70 adalah benar2 INSANE. Kerana di saat ini rakyat masih berperang dengan kenaikan harga makan dan barangan lain. Apa yang saya tidak faham kenapa kenaikan ini begitu mendadak dan begitu tinggi. Tidak kah kerajaan sedar ini hanya menunjukkan KELEMAHAN kerajaan ketika ini. Dimanakah para penganalisis yang mengangap diri mereka bijaksana dan arif dalam membuat kajian untuk menetukan hala tuju ekonomi negara...? Dan dimanakan individu2 yg telah diberikan kepercayaan oleh rakyat dalam membuat keputusan penting untuk kepentingan rakyat? Dimanakah janji mereka untuk membawa rakyat menjauhi kemiskinan?

Saya teringat bagaimanakah nanti ibubapa saya dan orang2 kampung yang lain menghadapi gelombang kenaikan harga minyak ini. Kos untuk membajak sawah dan menuai padi tentu akan meningkat berlipat kali ganda... pendapatan yang selama ini hanya cukup2 untuk menampung kehidupan keluarga dan anak2 yang seramai 4 orang yang masih bersekolah di Univ dan Kolej sudah tentu tidak lagi mencukupi lagi. Yang herannya harga jualan padi masih pada kadar yang sama sedangkan harga beras telah naik hampir 100%. Dimanakah keadilannya? Pernahkah para pemimpin sekarang merasa peritnya membanting tulang 4 kerat di bawah panas terik matahari hanya untuk mendapatkan beberapa ringgit?... TENTU TIDAK... sebab itu mereka tidak teragak-agak dalam membuat keputusan sedemikian.

Saya percaya dan rakyat percaya kenaikan ini tidak dapat dielakkan. Tetapi yang membuatkan kami rakyat tidak percaya....KESANGGUPAN kerajaan menaikkan harga pada kadar yang terlalu tinggi dan pada masa yang sangat singkat. Tidak boleh kah kerajaan berbelas kasihan dengan menaikkan harga pada kadar yang boleh dikira logik dan pada masa yang logik?... ini tidak....seperti dipaksa berhenti makan sedangkan baru sesuap nasi masuk ke mulut... dimanakah letaknya kewarasan dan belas kasihan?.... Rakyat telah mengangkat anda sehingga anda mendapat kehidupan yang senang seperti sekarang dan bukan anda sahaja tapi anak cucu anda juga mendapat tempias kesenangan ini..... Adakah anda boleh hidup bahagia dan senang tetapi rakyat yang menyokong dan mengangkat anda terkorban dan teraniayah???

BUKAN HENDAK KU mengeruhkan lagi suasana yang keruh...tetapi cuba la lihat dan duduk sebaris dengan kami yang dibawah......... Dan anda pasti memahami....

Now make a wish

Bopsy

The 26-year-old mother stared down at her son who was daying of terminal leukemia. Although her heart was filled wiht sadness, she also had a strong feeling of determination. Like any parent she wanted her son to grow up and fulfill all his dreams. Now that was no longer possible. The leukemia would see to that. But she sill wanted her son's dreams to come true.

She took her son's hand and asked, "Bopsy, did you ever think about what you wanted to be when you grew up? Did you ever dream and wish about what you would do with your life?"

"Mommy, I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up." Mom smiled back and said, "Let's see if we can make your wish come true." later that day she went to her local fire department in Phoenix, Arizona, where she met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as Phoenix. She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her six-year-old son a ride around the block on a fire engine.

Fireman Bob said. "Look, we can do better than that. If you'll have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make him an honorary fireman for the whole day. He can come down to the fire station, eat with us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards! And, if you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform made for him, with a real fire halt - not a toy one - with the emblem of the Phoenix Fire Department on it, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots. They're all manufactured right here in Phoenix, so we can get them fast."

Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Bopsy, dressed him in his fire uniform and escorted him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck. Bopsy got to sit up on the back of the truck and help steer it back to the fire station. He was in heave.

There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day and Bopsy got to go out on all three calls, He rode in the different fire engines, the paramedics' van and even the fire chief's car. He was also videotaped for the local news program.

Having his dream come true, with all the love and attention that was lavished upon him, so deeply touched Bopsy that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible.

One nite all of his vital signs begin to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed in the Hospice concept that no one should die alone, began to call the family members to the hospital. Then she remembered the day Bopsy had spent as a fireman, so she called the fire chief and asked if it would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Bopsy as he made his transition. The chief replied. "We can do better than that. We'll be there in five minutes. Will you please do me a favor? When you hear the sirens screaming and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that there is not a fire? It's just the fire department coming to see one of its finest members one more time. And will you open the window to his room? Thanks."

About five minuts later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital, extended its ladder up to Bopsy's third floor open window and 14 firemen and two fire-women climbed upo the ladder into Bopsy's room. With his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how much they loved him.

With his daying breath, Bopsy looked up at the fire chief and said,

"Chief, am I really a fireman now?"

"Bopsy, you are, " the chief said.

With those words, Bopsy smiled and closed his eyes for the last time.

John 3:16

A little boy was selling newspapers on the corner, the people were in and out of the cold. The little boy was so cold that he wasn't trying to sell many papers. He walked up to a policeman and said, "Mister, you wouldn't happen to know where a poor boy could find a warm place to sleep tonight would you? You see, I sleep in a box up around the corner there and down the alley and it's awful cold in there for tonight. Sure would be nice to have a warm place to stay."

The policeman looked down at the little boy and said, "You go down the street to that big white house and you knock on the door. When they come out the door you just say John 3:16, and they will let you in." So he did. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door, and a lady answered. He looked up and said, "John 3:16." The lady said, "Come on in, Son." She took him in and she sat him down in a split bottom rocker in front of a great big old fireplace, and she went off. The boy sat there for a while and thought to himself: John 3:16...I don't understand it, but it sure makes a cold boy warm.

Later she came back and asked him "Are you hungry? " He said, "Well, just a little. I haven't eaten in a couple of days, and I guess I could stand a little bit of food," The lady took him in the kitchen and sat him down to a table full of wonderful food. He ate and ate until he couldn't eat any more. Then he thought to himself: John 3:16...Boy, I sure don't understand it but it sure makes a hungry boy full.

She took him upstairs to a bathroom to a huge bathtub filled with warm water, and he sat there and soaked for a while. As he soaked, he thought to himself: John 3:16... I sure don't understand it, but it sure makes a dirty boy clean. You know, I've not had a bath, a real bath, in my whole life. The only bath I ever had was when I stood in front of that big old fire hydrant as they flushed it out. The lady came in and got him. She took him to a room, tucked him into a big old feather bed, pulled the covers up around his neck, kissed him goodnight and turned out the lights. As he lay in the darkness and looked out the window at the snow coming down on that cold night, he thought to himself: John 3:16...I don't understand it but it sure makes a tired boy rested.

The next morning the lady came back up and took him down again to that same big table full of food. After he ate, she took him back to that same big old split bottom rocker in front of the fireplace and picked up a big old Bible. She sat down in front of him and looked into his young face. "Do you understand John 3:16? " she asked gently. He replied, "No, Ma'am, I don't. The first time I ever heard it was last night when the policeman told me to use it," She opened the Bible to John 3:16 and began to explain to him about Jesus . Right there, in front of that big old fireplace, he gave his heart and life to Jesus. He sat there and thought: John 3:16 -- don't understand it, but it sure makes a lost boy feel safe.

You know, I have to confess I don't understand it either, how God was willing to send His Son to die for me, and how Jesus would agree to do such a thing. I don't understand the agony of the Father and every angel in heaven as they watched Jesus suffer and die. I don't understand the intense love for ME that kept Jesus on the cross till the end. I don't understand it, but it sure does make life worth living.

John 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life".

This will give you the chills...! .....GOOD chills.

A young man had been to Wednesday night Bible Study. The Pastor had shared about listening to God and obeying the Lord's voice. The young man couldn't help but wonder, "Does God still speak to people?"After service he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they discussed the message. Several different ones talked about how God had led them in different ways. It was about ten o'clock when the young man started driving home. Sitting in his car, he just began to pray, "God ... If you still speak to people speak to me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey."

As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strangest thought to stop and buy a gallon of milk. He shook his head and said out loud, "God is that you?" He didn't get a reply and started on toward home. But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk. The young man thought about Samuel and how he didn't recognize the voice of God, and how little Samuel ran to Eli. "Okay, God, in case that is you, I will buy the milk." It didn't seem like too hard a test of obedience. He could always use the milk. He stopped and purchased the gallon of milk and started off toward home.

As he passed Seventh Street , he again felt the urge, "Turn down that street." This is crazy he thought and drove on past the intersection. Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh Street. At the next intersection, he turned back and headed down Seventh. Half jokingly, he said out loud, "Okay, God, I will". He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop. He pulled over to the curb and looked around. He was in semi commercial area of town. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst of neighborhoods either. The businesses were closed and most of the houses looked dark like the people were already in bed.

Again, he sensed something, "Go and give the milk to the people in the house across the street." The young man looked at the house. It was dark and it looked like the people were either gone or they were already asleep. He started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat. "Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are going to be mad and I will look stupid." Again, he felt like he should go and give the milk.

Finally, he opened the door, "Okay God, if this is you, I will go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for something but if they don't answer right away, I am out of here." He walked across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some noise inside. A man's voice yelled out, "Who is it? What do you want?" Then the door opened before the young man could get away. The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. He looked like he just got out of bed. He had a strange look on his face and he didn't seem too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep.

"What is it?" The young man thrust out the gallon of milk, "Here, I brought this to you." The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway. Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the milk toward the kitchen. The man was following her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man had tears streaming down his face. The man began speaking and half crying, "We were just praying. We had some big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn't have any milk for our baby. I was just praying and asking God to show me how to get some milk." His wife in the kitchen yelled out, "I ask him to send an Angel with some. Are you an Angel?" The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on him and put in the man's hand. He turned and walked back toward his car and the tears were streaming down his face. He knew that God still answers prayers.

This is so true. Sometimes it's the simplest things that God asks us to do that cause us, if we are obedient to what He's asking, to be able to hear. His voice more clear than ever. Please listen, and obey! It will bless you(and the world). Phil 4:13
