autumn’s beauty

Here’s more pictures..ok, this pic below, i believe is the best picture that we took. Well, if not the best, it’s one of the best. It’s really natural and very beautiful! haha..love autumn, it’s really beautiful.

This one is Andrew, Niny and me. An impromtu one, coz I just  jumped into the picture while both of them are supposed to take, dont know if I became the light bulb or not..aha…but we’re all friends so…it’s ok (i guess)… :lol:

This is a nice pic we took sitting on the ground, lovely isnt it? Kelvin, the one of the most left is trying to make some effect with the leaves, throwing it up so that it’ll have the effect of like leaves falling down on us! ahaha…it didnt work but i feel the pic is really nice! Anyway, today is Kelvin’s birthday, so, Happy Birthday Kelvin!!!! We do have another pictures of the whole group lying on the ground, haven seen the pictures yet but I have a feeling it’s going to be nice.. :lol:

ok, now this picture everyone is trying make the effect of leaves falling down on us but kinda not ‘natural’. :razz: But we all looked happy, so I am happy! ahaha…

More pictures coming up, haven collect the rest from other camera!

I dont really want to talk about my week…even though I feel I’m supposed to mention about something…well, I feel I’m gaining weight! Not good!!! I want to eat and eat and eat. I’m always hungry! BAD!!

Anyway, Federer will be playing today, later tonight…it’s going to be his first match after the US Open. I dont know what I’m feeling about it..wish I could watch it instead of following the live scores.

Autumn Collection

it’s AUTUMN!!! Yay…the leaves are turning golden and it’s beautiful. There is no words to describe it, just amazed because of the beauty of what God has made. My group - Group 4, decided to have a photoshot - a day out to take pictures. =p Reason was that we wanted to take 4-season pictures of everyone together siince it’s our final year.

Here, we are preparing….go to the park, great camera by Johnny. OK, my picure quality is very small and might not be as sharp but trust me, it’s amazing quality! And then the server today is a bit de-crack, so i can’t upload anything…but manage to get the pics from Johnny in Facebook. So, when the server is better, in the future, I promise, more pictures!

Of course we did lots of ‘lame’ action in front of the camera. It took me a while to convince them to take ‘jumping pictures’! :razz: Some commented that it was VERY LAME but I love jumping pictures and now with a great camera, of course we should take it, right? We had it on auto, taking a series of a few but still, we weren’t really jumping at the same rate but I’m sure we all had lots of fun!

Then, we decided to take some famous shots…ok, too much of influence from TV Series, we decided to take one of everyone’s favourite - Heroes.

Not really the same but you get the idea!!! Dont you? :grin: It’s like posing for a poster or album cover! ahaha…reli cool….do click the image so it’s bigger and clearer! :lol:

Next was Moonlight Resonance - 家好月圓. But we didnt really manage too coz the weather was too cold and eveyrone was getting a bit tired. But I found this picture, I think it sort of is similar to the Japanese drama - Hero by Takuya Kimura.

Here is the picture. Sort of resembles? ahaha…just the colour of the trees are not the same! :grin:

Ok, fine..here is a more normal picture of the group in front of this big batu. It’s where we first gathered when we first arrived in Kursk. Taking this picture is just to remember the time we once were here abt 5 and half years ago. :wink: time flies!

Please click on the pictures for bigger version and more clear..i feel terrible that it’s at such a low quality… :oops:

powerful thursday

how to sum up today? with one word…ok, maybe 2 - It’s TOTALLY GOD!!!!!

ok, firstly, a great news from sis - her appeal has been appoved!!! All glory to the big guy up there - GOD!!! All praise to Him! You know, God is just so amazing, He really gives you the desires of your heart!!! Amazing God!!

Next, I went to visit another cell group in PolyTech, another university, well it’s actually it’s a PolyTech, not sure what it is called, we just call it PolyTech. I am so blessed after visiting them. I went with my pastor and we had a group of more than 10 cell group members. All of them are from Africa - ok, different parts like Nigeria, Zambia and so on. I’m not sure myself. Anyway, it’s not my first time seeing them but it’s my first time visiting them. As I was sharing about God, God just reminded me of so many things He has done in my life, His promises and my dreams that He made come true…and looking back, God was preparing me and teaching me things these few years here.

As we just surrender our life to God, you can see the great wonders that He is able to do with our life. Amazing things, dreams that we once dreamt of, He is able to bring it to past, desires of the heart, He is able to fulfill it and blessings after blessings just come after you because God is with you!

Also a great post I read about Mercy & Grace. Really encourages me!!!

Btw, Federer is playing in Madrid Open on Monday with lots of other great players - Nadal, Blake, Djokovic and so on. Well, he needs to play really well in these coming few opens, and the Shanghai Cup and he’ll probably get back his No.1 title.

presence of God

wow, I had a great week (last week) with God. You know, it says..

Ps 84:10 NKJV
For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

Many times we think, Your courts or the house of God…is church. Right? I did too, until I decided to write this post that God revealed to me, that it’s not just in church that we have God. We are the temple of God, God lives in us. He dwells in us and therefore - we are carrying His presence wherever we go.

I can say, really, be in God’s presence is so great, one day in His presence is better than a thousand days elsewhere. Last week, I really felt His presence, not that normally God is not with me, but it was extra..maybe cause I choose to acknowledge it. When we acknowledge it, we’ll begin to see the small things that God takes part in and the things God does for us.

Testimony -> Despite the workload, things to finish, preparing for class, the list goes on - I still am able to find time to rest (sleep) and have enough time to finish everything that is needed to be done ON time. And there was rest despite the chaos, peace despite the storm… a very simple explanation - God was in control.

Btw, it’s autumn Picture above taken courtesy of Johnny with his new SLR camera. it’s beautful..hopefully you all can click on the pic and it can be ‘enlarged’ because autumn is beautiful. ** just tried- yup, u can click and it’ll be v large, but when you save it and view in your windows, it’s amazing! beautiful autumn!

I too, went to the park nearby our hostel and I was surprised to see all the trees turning golden…it’s amazing! It’s so beautiful, I do not have words to describe it!!! Just can give all PRAISE to God for His amazing creation!!!I manage to take some last saturday - will blog abt it…the pictures are so beautiful…the sceneries and the person inside too! ahah :lol: Here is a preview….

More pictures - we planning to get a group picture…a collection of 4 seasons Group 4 pictures! ahah.. Sure going to be fun! :razz: Just that last Saturday, the weather was great, and dry, so perfect to take pictrues but since Sunday, it has been raining - wet, muddy…so, hopefully by Saturday it’ll be dry so more pictures can be taken, also group photo! :lol: example..picture below, taken last winter…

All the way my Saviour leads me

Not sure if this is auto play but it’s a beautiful song by Chris Tomlin - All the way my Savior leads me. Ok, I’ve checked it does not auto play, so do take a few minute to relax and listen to this song.. It’ll bless your heart!!

All the way my Savior leads me
Who have I to ask beside
How could I doubt His tender mercy
Who through life has been my guide

All the way my Savior leads me
Cheers each winding path I tread
Gives me grace for every trial
Feeds me with the living Bread

[Chorus:]
You lead me and keep me from falling
You carry me close to Your heart
And surely Your goodness and mercy will follow me

All the way my Savior leads me
O, the fullness of His love
O, the sureness of His promise
In the triumph of His blood
And when my spirit clothed immortal
Wings its flight to realms of day
This my song through endless ages
Jesus led me all the way
Jesus led me all the way

All the way my Savior leads me
All the way my Savior leads me

wu liao

It’s 4 am in the morning, I cant sleep!!!! I think it’s mainly because of a very sweet dessert that ate after diiner. It’s honeydew with icecream, topped with sugar caramel. SWEEEETTT…. Then I drank coffee. Double dose of medicine that keeps me awake. haha…well, actually I went to bed around 10 and woke up by 2am and then by 3 am, I started to use the ‘bonus’ internet - remember? It’s 90% off.

 

I used it to download Chris Tomlin’s latest album - Hello Love. Listening to it now…very nice..found this video…not the latest one but it’s cool!

CHRIS TOMLIN - LIVE FROM AUSTIN

What else? Erm, watch last episode of Code Blue, some youtube videos of Federer. :razz: Btw, he wont be playing in Stockholm Open because he needs more rest to get back his no. 1. hhm…interesting!

Also manage to blog…but I really think I should go back to sleep!

Conclusion -> coffee and high sugar meal is BAD!

p/s : Selamat Hari Raya!!! :oops:
