I Wish

Star light, star bright,
The first star I see tonight;
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.

Many of us have heard this famous phrase from Disney cartoons all the way to big movies or even story books but not many of us know that this phrase originated from a science-fiction short story book written by Alferd Bester, called "Star Light, Star Bright" but that is not what i really want to write about.

Its funny that many of us never really know what a word means; A wish in dictionary definition means "A Hope or Desire for something". I know I have made many wishes but many yet to come true, but does that mean all hope is gone?

All i know is that we get into the wishing mood on two occasion; One on our birthday; Two is when we are in a really tight spot and need a way out of it. That one wish that can change everything, that one wish that can change our fate, that one wish that can turn things around, that one wish that can make us happier, that one wish that fulfills our hearts desire, that one wish that can meets our wants, that one wish that we are wishing over and over again.


There are many wishes one can made but its only a fantasy, fairy tale or even a Hollywood life to believe they can come true in a blink of an eye or the star will fly down and grant us that one great wish. I am not saying that wishes don't come true but it gives the heart a hope that somewhere someone out there is hearing out for our wishes and prayer.

At the end of the day, everyone has a wish in their heart, that one glimmer of hope that one day it will come true, that one wish that is so precious, its like a piece of heaven to them. So why wish when we can pray?
For He is our all knowing father and He provides as He wills abundantly.



2 Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

Mark 11:24
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Tired?

Tired. Tired. Tired. 'How many times have you heard this word?'
or should I ask 'How many times have you heard yourself say it?'

Tired by dictionary definition refers to 'exhausted by exertion'; 'weary or bored.'

Have you ever seen yourself in this state?


I know I have many a times, being in a state of exhaustion, weary about the day, weary about the things to happen, weary about tomorrow, bored of the same old routine, bored of the same old mistakes that keeps repeating itself.

Exhausted + Weary + Bored of life = Tired of life.

We all face this dilemma once in a blue moon of our precious life, its the routine, the momentum of life, the status-quo and the stagnant life that drives us to this state be it one bad situation, work, family, friends, relationships, wealth, spirituality or self.

For me, I am tired that I am only 20 but working like a mule; I am tired that I am 20 and never had a great birthday bash; I am tired that I am 20 and never had a great birthday present; I am tired that I am 20 and still feel neglected amongst a sea of friends; I am tired that I am 20 but nobody appreciates or gives me recognition for the sacrifices I put in my life to make others happy out of a good heart and kindness but finding an empty space in myself because of that. Nobody helps the helper.

Its the tiredness that finally leads us to Give Up!

"I GIVE UP!" Many people, great or small, have uttered these three simple words over and over again in life due to a failure but not knowing that success was just around the corner, just around the bent with a little more push needed.

So I say, even though I am tired of everything that i have written in this post; friends, family, love, life, work, money, education, future, ambition, faith, church; I don't want to give up so easily because success is just around the corner no matter how big or small, it brings clarity, joy, relief and happyness, just to know all my effort, strength and sacrifices bought a little result. It will not be great, it may even suck but "big success begins with a small step of failures and results".

My hope of the day is that tomorrow is always a new day with new opportunities, no matter how tired you are, you are just taking a break, a step back from life to evaluate and then after that, you are going in with a new energy to breakthrough the day.

Just one touch

Have you ever wonder why people tend to shake hands when they met someone new?

Have you ever wonder why couples always hold each others hand?

Have you ever wonder why babies like to hold their parents hands?

Have you ever wonder why we want to hold hands?

Have you ever wonder why people cling onto hands in desperate and hard times?

Little do we know the power of "Touch" . Its that one little hand shake; that one moment of holdings hands under the beautiful sun and beach that last a romantic memory; that one little touch of hands that spark something in our mind and body. Its that touch that makes us feel connected.

Being humans as we are; Frail, Fragile, Wonderful, Fearfully and Beautifully created, we all need some kind of connection with other fellow human beings neither gender, age, religion nor color, we all feel the need to connect because isolation drives us crazy, it makes us feel like aliens. That's why when we handshake or touch someone in the appropriate places, we get this sort of comfortable connection, our hostility dies off to become hospitality, we welcome that person because amazingly we connect with that touch.

That's why the power of Touch is so powerful, it builds a connection that just defies our logic thinking and chemicals just race through our bodies. When couples hug or hold hands, they feel connected, they feel like they are one with their partner or when a girl makes contact with a guy like a breeze touch, we feel a connection to bond, it is also through that one touch that we feel secure and not alone, the list can go on forever.

Ever wonder how powerful your handshake or touch can be?

Give it a try today, go out and simply shake someone hand. Of course it also wouldn't hurt to give them a smile.

Its all these simple things in life like a smile, touch or a wave of hands that tells someone i acknowledge you; lets talk, connect and develop something here.

Walk With Me

Love was never on my mind
Till I saw you
Love, I have given up
Till I met you
Love, Was just a word
Till I fell for you

Walk with me
On the beach
We'll leave footprints in the sand
Footprints that will last in memories

Walk with me
In the park
We'll feel the grass and see the blue skies together
Smell and sight that will last in memories

Walk with me
On life's journey
Beauty We'll remember
Ugly we'll forget
Love or hate
Smile or frown
I'll always be there for you
Until we say "I Do" and forevermore

We haven met yet
we haven talk yet
we don't know each other yet

So I'll sing this song
Until the day you'll walk with me

What Happens Next?

Many a times we don't realize we would come upon a cross road in life, very important transition points in life.

One of which would be our education path and this is the time where we would be making BIG DECISIONS in life on where and what we want to study in the future because that would be our occupation in the end of the day.

Yes it is sometime scary and uncertain to know that we Form 6-ers wouldn't know which Uni we would wind up in and what we would be studying but a time of decision would come when we have to call the shoots and apply by faith that where ever we go, we can make it in there and in life.

After working for two months and gaining more experience than i ever have, i come to realize that at the end of the day, results would get you that far only but it is your characters that determines how far you would go because the working world always demands more than what you can do, its always about getting more and profiting more than what you earn at the end of the day but I have to say, the experience is priceless.

Right now, i would be applying for university soon and where ever i end up, I go with faith and believe that where ever i wind up in, I would give my best and shine as bright as i can in that place because its all in His plans.

The though of Uni to me is liberation and freedom, there we are given the chance to be independent and mature but most of all learn to live out of our comfort zone but most of all, a chance to make new and more friends especially for a single guy like me Hehe "XP"

What Happens Next? Life moves on, so must we.

My Heart For The STPM Students

This Speech was written solely for the students, brothers, sisters, friends and individual intelligent beings no matter race, religion, status or lifestyle.

WE! My brothers and sisters will soon be upon a most historical moment in our life's, a moment we all have feared, endured and waited patiently for three years, the moment where our true colors of character, strength, intellectual and fruit of our hard labor will be revealed through a little piece of paper, not worth of value in the market but worth more than gold in our sigh, a paper which will determined where we would step foot upon in the near future.

BUT I SAY TO YOU! brothers and sisters, do not fret, worry, panic, or be disturbed by the announcement of our results but give heart because this is only the beginning of a historical, powerful and deciding moment in our life. One piece of paper and a few words written on it won't dictate our true being but only our intellectual as it does not show the true heart and character YOU! MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS have put in to endure and finish the race of the STPM life.

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, I only stand here today, not as someone special or different, I only stand here today, as A YOUNG MALAYSIAN ADULT who have endured, suffered, persevered, gain, lost, learn, ignored, marginalized, categorized, tested upon and used in our two years of hardship to enter the promise land, a land flowing of milk and honey, that would bring us higher and richer in life from here on into the future. I only stand here today as common as you and as a human being but most of all as a friend and brother,
no less, no more, who have suffered and ran the race of endeavor.

MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, let me end my speech quoting the famous four words by MARTIN LUTHER KING and sharing my same passion of that dream.

"I HAVE A DREAM" that one day, there will be no more racial dispute in our nation
That one day, we can all live in harmony without feeling marginalized or ignored
"I HAVE A DREAM" that we would all have a quality education in University
That we would not be ignored of the reward we deserve for our hard work and sacrifice we paid.
"I HAVE A DREAM" that one day, our generation would stand upon the pinnacle of time and history as a generation who made, brought and revolutionize a change in the country.
That one day, MALAYSIA would stand proud of its new generation of young workforce who from our father, their fathers and forefathers fought so hard to bring independence, be proud of the achievement and change in this country.
"I HAVE A DREAM" that my brothers and sisters of this generation would be the tide of change!

A Working Man

A student wakes up in the morning, sighs at the knowledge of facing school for a day, washes up and putting on his uniform with a sleepy eye and head, taking heavy steps down for breakfast, into the car and off to school. He arrives in school, sit downs in class, takes a few winks after greeting his friends, who joins in the slumber as well, goes for the morning assembly and after that the first bell rings for the start of a new day for him and his friends, having fun in class while trying his best to listen to boring subjects and at the end of the day goes back home to his loving bed and room around lunch time, just in time for another activity in the afternoon. He arrives home for dinner after an exhausting day of school, clubs, sports and a day of socializing with friends, without a worry about money or priorities, he takes his dinner and goes to bed but not before surfing the net, chatting with friends and playing his X-box.
The cycle repeats, with different subjects, different activities and many a new friends to meet.

On the other side of life, 2 years down the road.

A working man wakes up in the morning, washes up, dress up in his attires, neat with tie for the appointments of the day, takes a quick drink for breakfast before walking off to work. He reaches his office, thinking of taking a few quick breaths before starting the day but soon gets bomb down with leftover work and assignments from the day before and new jobs to do for the day. He works very hard to finish the leftover jobs as quick as possible so not to delay the new job too long or else the quota for the day will not be meet, he goes here and there with the speed of lightning, he finishes the old job with only the chance to take a quick deep breath before moving on to the new job. He only has lunch break to look forward to everyday before he is needed in the office again to finish off newer jobs, making the new job he got a first, old and leftover jobs. He arrives home, sweaty, tired, mind filled with priorities, work, family, money, bills and thoughts of tomorrow before eating his dinner and goes to sleep.
The cycle repeats again with a new day, new jobs, old jobs, challenges for the day and weary thoughts.

For those who don't know, i am now currently working part time as client support and operations officer at a training cooperation in atria, its only been two weeks now but work feels like it has been over a month long and now do i truly understand the value of money, how tough it is to even get that sum of money to survive a month, to live for a month. Working life has definitely though me a lot and one of which is to enjoy every single moment i have as a student when i enroll into University, truly none can compare a students life with a working life or vice versa but one things for sure, I learn that working is not so easy as it seems to be and hard work is always needed everyday, your 100% is to be given in that office everyday, if not you wont finish your job fast and on time.

However I am grateful that even though I only hold a spm, stpm and a few co-curriculum certs under my belt that i am able to find a part time job in the office with a reasonable pay. Truly this is God given to mature me once again in life plus learning to be independent and many more which is to come. One of the greatest thing as a christian worker in a non-christian organization is that I learn we work not to please men but to please God, we are always so caught up with pleasing the boss when we forgot the real true master we need to please is God, so no matter what happens at works, we know we have done our best to God and whatever happens is always according to Gods plan.

2 weeks into the job, what are my comments?
I am learning and gaining so much from God, the pay is just a side prize, the real prize is what i gain from this experience and how did I shine as a christian in that work place.

To all my fellow friends working out there, remember to always be who you are and not conform to the pattern of this world.
