连续两次

连续两次，我收到了同样的经文。
连续两次，都对我很有帮助！
连续两次，我都感谢神！！！
一个是昨天，一个是今天。

Matthew 6:28-34 (New International Version)

²⁸"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.

²⁹Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one o these.

³⁰If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

³¹So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'

³²For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

³³But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

³⁴Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

马太福音6:28-34

6:28	何 必 为 衣 裳 忧 虑 呢 。 你 想 野 地 里 的 百 合 花 ， 怎 样 长 起 来 ， 他 也 不 劳 苦 ， 也 不 纺 线 。
6:29	然 而 我 告 诉 你 们 ， 就 是 所 罗 门 极 荣 华 的 时 候 ， 那 他 所 穿 戴 的 ， 还 不 如 这 花 一 朵 呢 。
6:30	你 们 这 小 信 的 人 哪 ， 野 地 的 草 ， 今 天 还 在 ， 明 天 就 丢 在 炉 里 ， 神 还 给 他 这 样 的 妆 饰 ， 何 况 你 们 呢 。
6:31	所 以 不 要 忧 虑 ， 说 ， 吃 什 么 ， 喝 什 么 ， 穿 什 么 。
6:32	这 都 是 外 邦 人 所 求 的 。 你 们 需 用 的 这 一 切 东 西 ， 你 们 的 天 父 是 知 道 的 。
6:33	你 们 要 先 求 他 的 国 ， 和 他 的 义 。 这 些 东 西 都 要 加 给 你 们 了 。
6:34	所 以 不 要 为 明 天 忧 虑 。 因 为 明 天 自 有 明 天 的 忧 虑 。 一 天 的 难 处 一 天 当 就 够 了 。

谢谢你们啦~~

Don't stop dreaming!!!

Susan Boyle reminds me of dreaming. Those things we always hoped for and dreamed about when we were young. Things that you always want to do but got discouraged, or because it's less practical?.

This lady has just recently appeared in a British competition called Britain's Got Talent --- ie everyone who thinks s/he has got talent can enrol for audition.

Do you think she can sing??

Well, most people who was watching the audition in the auditorium thought she was one of those retards, even the judges.. They laughed at her and mocked at her when she said her dream was to become a professional singer like Elaine Paige and guess what, they got a taste of the most brilliant and stunning performance ever! When she started her first bar, nearly everyone in the auditorium stood up and cheered for her. The whole auditorium was literally brought to CLIMAX!!

It took her less than a week to break America! She has now global fans including famous actor and actress, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore.

SO,
who say "STOP DREAMING, WAKE UP!"
who say "Be realistic, you dreams will never gonna feed your stomach."
who say "You should stop dreaming because you failed!"
who say "It's too late, look at me, I'm not those 18, 19 young people out who are there full of dreams."

WELL,
Susan Boyle said it's never too late to dream.
Susan Boyle said it's never too late when your dream comes true..
Susan Boyle dreamed her dream when she was 47!!

Sometimes things turned out very different and circumstances may turn you down, but no matter what, there WILL be one day, that critical moment when light shines and chases away dark clouds. There WILL be this day!!

Remember, the key to success is

Consistency of pursuing, and never give up!

I'm actually feeling better now

What can I say, I am surprised too..

So I slept at 3am last night, I was waken up at 7 something, and I thought it was 9 or 10. Again, I got cheated by my dear little humorous and famous Mr Sun. He wakes up early, and getting earlier everyday. Those strong little light particles beamed through the window, causing my curtain sparkled in the sunlight and glanced as if it's fluorescent. It dazzled me for a while before I managed to grab my phone and realised it's early. Darn, morning can never be so overwhelming. And yes, SPRING IS HERE!

Despite wasting a lot of time putting on many layer of clothes, I dressed up light with a piece of T-shirt and hoodie for top and trek suit trousers for bottom. I was off to school.

Birds started chirping; Flowers and tree began to blossom; Squirrel started feeding on nuts and seeds.
AHhhh~ ~ everything became so lively. *Smile* =)

I could see different colours on the street. There's no more dark and dull wearing, but a lot of vivid muti-coloured shirts. There's no more moaning about too cold, but cheering about the nice and perfect weather. Very soon there will be no more lectures, but revision and exams and then SUMMER HOLIDAY.

Till then~
Man I'm feeling great :D

I got it !

So, regarding the last post...

I WON THE ELECTION !!!!

UCL Union 2009-10, Services Committee Member..

Vote for Me !!

Following one month of my blog recession, I have finally managed to get on with some crisis and here I am, with a little update about my life.

February has been refreshing with awful lot of interesting happenings. The most notable is the UCL Union spring election I am running for. It was hard to make up my mind before I turned myself in but thanks to God and my very supportive friends, I got myself nominated.

Campaigning was fun! All you need to do is to grab some good friends to promote you. I never thought that publicising myself could be so difficult, one seriously needs a lot of courage to go public. And I did it!
I had the flyers made with my picture on it, and posted wherever seem visible to people. Handed out flyers to people and networking a lot to get their votes. Well, I hope I will get some pay back seriously. Have a glance at my flyers..

(blogger is kind of crappy atm so will get it posted asap)

墨菲定律是一套对生活观察的定律，它似乎有实际经验作为基础，因而更有份量。你可能听过这一条：「如果事情会出错，就一定会出错。」还有「你所做的每件事都不是孤立的，所有的事都存在着因果关系。」

我自己的经验似乎也印证了许多条墨菲定律，我特别把上述的第二条挂在墙上作为座右铭。错误的决定会导致一连串后果，如果有人的生活只顾追求享乐，他们的子 子孙孙都会受到牵连（出埃及记20章4-5节）。假使你偏离了上帝的道路，你的孩子可能也会走上同样的道路，即使后来你回转归向上帝，他们却可能仍不回 返。

但是，这条定律也有其好的一面。如果有人凭着信心活在上帝面前，也会对子子孙孙带来深远的影响。如果他们活得够长，就能亲眼看到信心对后代子孙所产生的影响。对年长的人来说，看到子孙为基督而活，是多么令人满足的一件事！

墨菲定律和圣经一致认同这一观点：「你所做的每件事都不是孤立的，所有的事都存在着因果关系。」HWR

散播败坏的种子，
收割罪恶的浆果；
散播正义的种子，
得到祝福的收获。Sper

Murphy’s Laws are observations about life that seem to have the weight of experience behind them. You’ve probably heard this one: “If anything can go wrong, it will.” Here’s another one: “You can’t do just one thing; everything has its consequences.”

My own experience seems to confirm many of Murphy’s Laws, but it’s that second one that I would hang on the wall as a motto. Wrong choices have their consequences. For example, if we choose to live for pleasure, that will affect our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren (Ex. 20:4-5). If we walk away from God, we may discover that our children have taken that trip with us. Later, even if we return to Him, they may not.

But there is also good news. Devotion to the Lord has its consequences too. Men and women who live in faith before God can have a strong influence on their children and their children’s children. If they live a long life, they can witness the effect their faith has had on several generations. What satisfaction it brings to older people to see their posterity living for Christ!

Murphy and the Bible agree on this point: “Everything has its consequences.” — Haddon W. Robinson

If you sow seeds of wickedness,
Sin’s harvest you will reap;
But scattered seeds of righteousness
Yield blessings you can keep. —Sper

People who follow Christ lead others in the right direction.

1st Feb

1st Feb. On the very first day of February, Britain welcomes the heavy snow. It is said to be the heaviest or worst snow ever since January 2003. As Britain is undergoing the coldest winter over the past 30 years, we are not surprised to see 20cm of snow by tomorrow morning. I am very sorry to those who are in Australia enjoying the worst summer ever, and here I am to express my condolence, we have having the coldest winter too.

Too bad, it starts snowing at the south-east of England. That means Kent & London get to be the first to see the snow. Fortunately (only to meifen), it will covers the whole Britain tomorrow. Poor meifen is finally going to see her very first moment of snow.. I am so happy for you, dude!

Again, I took quite a number of photos.

Very Very Very heavy snow!

I thought it was too cold to do this outside and I didn't want to feel like a freak doing this alone out there so I made an indoor snow man!!

I know, not a good one but I will improve.. Treat it as indoor snow tower or whatever you like..

=)

Happy Snowing!!!!

someone really needs to grow up.

Early this morning, before the usual time I normally wake up, phone was ringing non-stop. I tended to ignore it for the first/second call but the third call caught me up. I thought it would be an urgent call with something important, deep inside my heart, I was expecting mum to call me to ask if I still need anything (cause aunt is coming back soon). But things are normally not so wonderful when you set your expectation too high.

I went down the stairs, I was still partially in my dream. I picked up the phone,
"Hello, is this Edd?"
"Yes." *yawning*
"Hi, this is aunty alice (my legendary guest SHE IS NOT MY AUNT!!! you call everyone Aunty at home!She is just my aunt's 20 years ago churchmates in London), I am calling from Sibu, just want to say hi and happy new year. I met your aunt in Kuching...... ...... ....."
"Ok, thank you. I'm good. How are you?"
"....."
"....."
"Richard (her son) will be going to London this evening and maybe he will ask you out for new year celebration with his friend."
"Oh, ok.. but I don't think I am free tonight. Thanks anyway."
(the worst thing are always at the end)
"Oh. ic.. You see, he is going with his friend and all of them are couples. I'm wondering if he could stay at your place for the weekend and he will go back on monday? He will arrive tonight at 12."
(OMG.. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!)
"errr.. I am not sure, but I will go out tonight and I am not sure what time I will be back. In fact, I will be very busy this weekend cause my cousin is here and we may go out together. Plus, I have early dental appointment tomorrow and I need to leave home early."
(I was trying to hint her that I DO NOT WANT him to destroy my weekend, but she didn't seem to realise and kept asking me if I have time, if he could stay. bla bla bla.. all the bullshit!)
"Maybe I will ask Richard to text you when he is on the train."
(That is absolutely inappropriate! I am not prepared and will not be prepared to accomodate someone here when I really need my rest with family and friends after a dreadful week..NOT with someone I don't know and I don't want to worry about things being destroyed again!!! NOT THIS TIME)
"Ok~~ (whatever, I will say no anyway) "
"Bye."

I wonder if he wants to stay here why couldn't he call me or text me himself? His mom has to call me from Sibu to let me know the news??? That is absolute ridiculous!! This simply shows that he does not appreciate the stay and being very rude.. If she calls, I will let her know the truth and I will definitely teach her a lesson. I was just too sleepy to defend myself.
Seriously, can you just someone and say you are coming to stay for a weekend and expect you can move in? Especially for someone I barely know... I do not feel comfortable with this. It's not that I'm being unfriendly but this is just not the right time and the way you call just make the whole situation even worse.

THEY seriously need to grow up!!!!

DAMN, Why.... totally destroyed my lovely morning!

Eye Test

前几天去检查眼睛，因为这里的NHS服务很好，我们如果可以申请到NHS Help with health cost, 很多东西都是免费。包括Free prescriptions, free dental treatment, free sight test, free glasses and contact lenses, free wigs and fabric supports & travel to receive NHS treatment. 当然，我们学生就很容易请到咯。

那我上星期六就闲着没事做，就带着我的NHS Certificate到一家眼镜行。一进去那里，我就被安排到那里排队等。结果到我的时候，那个人要我把我的Contact lens脱掉，然后就坐在一个机器那里（有检查过眼睛的人都懂这个机器）。之后，那个机器还会喷药的，不懂为什么还要喷我的眼睛，蛮奇怪的。

然后呢，我就被安排到另一边等。我就问他我在等什么，他就说：“你必须等另一个部门来带你去做另外一项检查”。我就LL坐在那里看报纸。结果等了很久，终于到我了，我就进去检查咯。这个检查很让我心跳加速的说。不只是那种带不懂度数的眼镜（机器）来看数字，她还要用很多莫名其妙的东西来照我的眼睛。还靠我很近！我的眼睛都被那些光线照到很痛。。。

OK, eye test 完毕。他说我要做眼睛的话他马上可以帮我做。我就问他我可以做Contact Lens吗，她说如果你要做Contact Lens, 我必须see the contact lens consultant， to carry out the contact lens test. You have to bring all your things here including your specs, contact lens, and your solution before we can do anything for you.
我就有一点swt. 做一个眼镜这么麻烦。之后她就加一句。
It's not like Malaysia. The regulation here is very strict. We need to make sure every process is done before we can make any prescriptions. =.=

结果她跟我说，Contact lens examination is not covered by NHS, you have to pay £20. 我当时就没钱，结果我就跟他说我该次book appointment后再来。我就这样花了一个小时在做这个sight test.

我现在还在想，我到底是不是不如去malaysia买contact lens就好，然后在那里做一幅designer glasses就好呢？那样我就不用花£20 leh......

It has been long since i posted... let me see... exactly half a month! What the heck was going on.. and this is my first post in 2009... I must be really busy I guess..

So, things turned out really bad in the first week of the new term. The first few days were absolutely 'amazing'. I was almost getting breathless and my brain was drained! It's all about last minute working on assignments and a test going on yesterday. Some people might say we were given a month holiday to do all this but guess what,
the first week we needed to rest
the second week was christmas
the third week was new year
the last week was the only time we can do out work + study.. BUT, I have two really interesting guests, remember? ??

I was gonna write about my guests few days ago just right after they went back, but I had to do my work. 2 essays in which 1 of them required 2000 words and the other 1500. I was just totally overwhelmed with the amount of articles/journals/books I'd read in the past weeks and writing 3500 words was just an impossible job for me !!!! However, I managed all that and I'm all done now!!
(Not to mention that there is this group of people that I'm having my tutorial with were bribing each other for not doing this piece of work simply because we didn't have time to do it, and so that we were able to speak the same word to the professor. And now we have our deadline extended! Good Job Guys!!! *grin*)

I still want to write something about my experience with these two amazing guests I had over the holidays. They were supposed to move out to the hotel as my sister was coming to London but the mom insisted to stay and so I had to spend my new year with them. We ended up in a local club for a private party of my aunt's friend.

The one on the left is obviously the mum, and the son is the one in black. Those two are very sweet couple from Hong Kong. I had a very very memorable experience about the mom&son fight at & after the party.. I just don't know how to put it in words.. It's just the mom was being 'closed minded' and was mad about the son being 'too sociable' cause he talked to this couple whom are known as ''STRANGERS" to the mom.. I was a victim being 'ordered'/dragged by the mom to participate in the conversation to help 'spying' on the son and report to the mom, while she was watching at us from a distance!!! She couldn't stand it eventually and joined in which created a very very very awkward situation. That's how the photo was taken, with the mum inside!

Anyway, after they left, there're couple of damages were made in my aunt's flat!!
1st, remember the son has to spend an hour at least for shower? and he showers twice a day?? This is how the bathroom became. He didn't even say a word after he came out and showed no atonement!
2nd, my aunty got a lot of chocolate over the christmas and she was keeping it to bring back to Kuching during CNY but most of the good ones were left opened by the son, without asking...!!!
I seriously had no idea that GUEST have the right to do those things, until the lectures I had from my guests.. I wonder how they manage to live in their own world....... a 19-year-old and a 60-ish..
LEGEND !!!!!!
