Fasting with no comsumption of meat and only water

Welcome blog viewers again to my blog, thank you for taking your time to read my post for the day.
God bless you the weeks ahead.

I have made a commitment to fast, yup you heard me i am going to fast and pray, for this whole or month or maybe even next month, i will not take in any meat at all, not even fish or duck or chicken or pork, anything that is meat is a no to me, so i will only be taking in vegetables and water.

Why you say i am doing this? Using Daniel chapter 1 as my reference, if you have a bible, you may flip to Daniel chapter 1 and read it as i will not write anything out here in the post, its too long.

I want to follow what this man of God did, he purposed his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's delicacies, which i think in olden times would be calf's, pork,deer,chicken, fish meat, many more and lots and lots of wine. So what did Daniel do, he instead as the steward to give them vegetables and water to drink for ten days and then he challenge the steward to compare the appearance of Daniel and the other three to be examined and compared to the rest of the young men who ate the portions of the king's delicacies.

And lo and behold at the end of the ten days Daniel and his friends feature appeared better and more leng chai, hoiyoo maybe more handsome than tom cruise, haha.

So the reason why they look better and leng chai was of course very practical, rubbish in rubbish out. It is so straight forward, ask yourself consuming vegetables and drinking water is more healthy or wine and meat is better, of course the vegetables and water is healthier and of course with God's good grace, they look fantastic.

I hope that by fasting without meat and taking in vegetables and drinking water only, i might be the same like Daniel also, haha, leng chai and also to lose some of my weight as now i am more health conscious and of course to impresses a girl, ahem.

So please do pray for me and my fasting that i might be self disciplined and persevere to finish this period of fasting. Your prayers will all be much appreciated. God bless you and thank you again.

Hugs,
Kenneth Wong

Never expect things to go your way

Hello blog viewers, it is me again and today with an interesting post.

Many of you do not know but i have this crush on this girl(wont go saying names), she is by far the sweetest and prettiest girl i have ever met even though we have not know each other yet, the reason i like her is because she is the only that ever smiles to me, the smile is like the "i kinda like you kind of smile" and not i smile as a thank you, i feel that the smile is an IOI (indicator of interest) but i wont jump into conclusion by saying she likes me but we will see how things go as i get to know her bit by bit.

There is just something about her that is different, this love i have for her is not just the lustful type of love but this is the first time i felt true love in my heart for a girl, its the kind of love that i want to spend a life time with her, a kind of love that i wanna share with her, to embrace her in hard times and to share the happy times.

So today was kokurikulum day and usually i would see her there, so i prepared myself the night before, shaving and making sure i look good to give her a good first impression.

But i felt confused and lost as to whether i am doing the right thing? so i was thinking very hard, so i seek the help of my friend Albert and after asking me a few questions, yes i felt i was ready to get a relationship and yes maybe i am doing the right thing. Then i went on to seek an older and exprienced friends help, also after a few questions, yes i am ready and willing to form a relationship but will still manage my time, waoo i felt happy and good.

Later that night i seek God about the crush i have over this girl and whether or not i should get to know her as God's permission will only do, so i prayed and said that if it is his will for me to get to know this girl, please prepare me for her, if its not, please guide me.

So i prayed a prayer for the girl(she is a Christian by the way) and went to sleep.

Next morning came, got myself ready, had breakfast and went to school about 7.50 as the kokurikulum starts at 8.00.

I went in, sat down, took a look around me, and NO she was not there. I looked at my watch and told myself maybe it is still early, so i waited patiently and eager to met her. Time went by and the kokurikulum started, still no sight of the girl, and told myself she is not coming, while we were in our platoon, there were some late comers, while my leader was speaking, i will now and then look at the late comers when they came in to see whether the girl would come but no she did not.

One part of me was sad that i did not have a chance to talk to her and get to now her but thank God for his loving grace, mercy and guidance, he told me to not worry as there is still the week to come to see her, get to know her.

So lesson learned well, I've learned that you cant expect anything to go your way but cling onto God as he is full of surprises and wonders.

Gods blessings happen when you never expect it to.

Relief for people in hard times.

Hello and welcome to my blog again, nice to see that at least someone is visiting my blog, although i hear many people say my blog is too emo or boring, i am very sorry as this is my type of blog that i want as my title is "Blog to release thoughts" i will try my best to brighten up my blog, meanwhile please be patient. Thank you and God bless.

Well as the title suggest, i was hearing this song sung by rob thomas with his former band Macthbox twenty which is titled "These hard times" wow fantastic song. This song is about the hard times we go through in life, the pain, the stress and the past that we keep holding on, the failures we've gone through, disappointments, not having life like me, the lonely nights crying alone but it tells us to just let go and say goodbye to this hard times because we cant keep holding on to the past, we dont feel it but we keep holding on when all we really need is just relief. Maybe a hug, a kiss, a crying shoulder...

This song is so true, all we need is just relief from this hard times in life, a time to feel free, a time to live again, a time where we can smile and laugh, a time were we can kiss, hug and share the night together.

It spoke to me alot and if there is anyone out there having a hardtime and thinking that you are gonna go through this alone, please always remember you've got friends and maybe who knows a "special someone" to talk to.

Please by all means dont go through what i went through alone, its painful and if you see me with a free hug sign that i am holding onto everyday, please dont hesitate to hug me as i hope it can help.

God bless the sufferers,
God bless the down and out,
God bless the lonely hearts,
God bless the weak,
God bless the poor,
God bless the trouble hearts.

As the mountain is high,
the achievement at the end is higher,
The lesson learn are painful but meaningful,
The pain is too much but he is there.

God Loves u no matter who you are,
I was once blind but now I see.

Hugs,
Kenneth Wong.

Church camp is over, sob' =(

OH NO church camp is over, to my horror today was my last day of church camp, its back to civilization again, its out of the jungle and back to the big city but i have to say by far this is the best church camp i have ever been to in my life.

This camp was very special to me because I found inner peace, love and joy in that camp, in that camp it was just me, my church family and God. The world behind, the cross before me. This camp made us all felt out first love for God again, we were reminded of the first love we have for God, our spirits were revived once again, the church have been lifted up again.

But never a doubt i will always have this after camp blues kind of thing, i feel very sad because i just don't see anything good to look forward to after the camp, i look back at the camp during the bus ride home and it struck me and i cant bear the truth that camp is over and i will be back to the same routines i will always be doing, i feel depressed cause i feel that there is nothing i can look forward, i cant see my nice church friends at a daily basis and most of all i cant feel the loving atmosphere that i exprienced in the camp and its to back to the cold harsh world again.

I am glad tough that i have God by my side, without his love, i could not have change, i could not have been a better servant for him, i really thank God for predestining me to go for this camp, i thank God that i found a change in my view of the world, I thank God he mend my broken heart and soul and made it whole and refresh again for him.

I regretted not spending the time in the camp to the fullest, i really wish i could turn back time and enjoy the camp just once more but like we all say "You can never too good of a thing" haha

All in all this camp changed my life and i hope i can cope with this camp blues, Praise to God for changing me, Praise to God i am one with him again.

I can finally breath lighter air, is it true?

OHHH i can finally breath lighter air cause my exams are finally coming to an end, i though yes its done, i can finally relax, can chill, can sleep, haha

But to my horror when i sat down and started to plan for the month ahead, i got quite a wake up call, i am in form 5 now and there will be more exams to go, this terms exam is merely a part of the training for the real deal, me heart went from jumping hopping mad crazy happy to a dead beat, not only i have a short holiday but i have tuition on my holidays and it calls for me to study even harder for the next term of exams, ohh boy........

I always think i can do it and yes i can but when you see other people walking freely and relaxing, you feel tempted to just take a break and chill, its like you have been running all this while why not just take it slow a bit and take a breeze walk.

But a excellent tutor of mine, she is by far the best chem teacher i have, with her i manage to pass my chem paper like that, with her i felt more prepared than ever, i remember yesterday when i was in her tuition, she was hurrying us to finish what she wanted to teach but then one of my friends:"Teacher chill lah teacher", to my amazement she said:" there is no time to chill anymore, you should have done that yesteryear, your in form 5 now, buck up, time to accelerate, your momentum now is going up, in the holidays, it should go up even higher."

what she said was very true and its correct that i should take my studies more serious now, no more fooling around, so to my band mates if you are reading this, sorry i did not allow jaming for us this few weeks as you see i have a great mission to accomplish.

I can breath lighter air, yes its true, once you have accomplish one great mission and its just on to the next time, what make a difference is that we have God to give us a push behind, just like a ball who needs us to kick it if it wants to move forward.

For all those who feel that your going to die anytime soon of a burden or exams or anything else you find difficult, just remember through HARD WORK, SACRIFICE and PAIN come REWARDS, GLORY UNTO THE FATHER and A EASIER TASK TO HANDLE and
A LIGHTER AIR TO BREATHE

When are we "REALLY" ready for a relationship?

Seeing on this topic, many people tell me that relationship can be made anytime even right before spm and major exam,well i am here to say that there is a guideline to follow to see whether you and your partner are ready for a relationship.

In order for a guy to see whether he is ready for a relationship, he first must look at himself:
1) If the guy is as emo as me, don't hope on getting a relationship, WHY you ask?

Well think of this, if you are just hoping to take from your girlfriend in terms of feelings and emotions, you are gonna suck her dry and you will be pressuring her into just giving when you just take, this is BAD! Never do this, your will constantly fight, believe me i know

2) Are you ready to sacrifice in terms of time, effort, emotional needs and etc for your partner?

That almost tells you everything, if you are not ready then you will be just stressing each other out.

3) Follow God's timing, its the upmost accurate timing and person to be with.

Well God said he is the alpha and omega, so he created time and human, so he should know best who is for us.

This is the summary that i can think off, till the next time, this is all i have.
