Hi Everyone, I thought I want to inform you guys that I would like to permanently close this blog as I can't keep up with having 2 online game account + expenses to keep up + blogging to do in spite of my very tight schedule..
So, i will maintain only 1 blog from now onwards, and it will be accessible from: http://lessonsilearntinlife.blogspot.com
Enjoy!
The Uncertain Future
Am wondering what's God's plans for me now. Got to be more on the edge, or stay in where I am.
Things that are holding me back from going to China:
1) April, what should i do?
2) Housing in SG, I want to buy a house
3) Celia, who'll take care of things?
4) Barang Barang for Indo
5) Spirituality
6) BIS, the work that I am doing
7) Christians and my friends
Things that compels me to go China:
1) Helping my parents, fulfill my duty as eldest son
2) Excelling in the business of my Father
3) Lead a better future (possibly)
4) Reach out to my siblings and parents
I really wonder what I need to do... On one hand, I felt obligated to go. On the other, I felt really reluctant. Somehow, everyone's advise is to do otherwise.
God, God, what are you trying to teach me in this lesson of yours...

GF Requests.. and conversations with God
I was wondering when i should ever update it, and i thought its a good thing to get real and start working on a focus for this blog.
As a friend told me, who's an internet Marketer, i thought i should follow his style and find a purpose for my blog...
After much thought, why not dedicate this again to how i can help others pray better!!!
One of my favourite 'stance' for prayer is when i go home... while walking home, i will use the time to reflect and ask God for revelations on what i have done.
it slowly became my 'conversation with God' kind of session... Where i will think deeply and take it as if God is around, what would i be speaking with Him about.
Oft I ask:
1) What do you think of "certain events today"?
2) What is my purpose in that event?
3) How did your name get glorifed in the situation/event?
Try that when you can!
Sometimes...
Sometimes I wonder where I will fly to.
Sometimes I wonder what I can dream for.
Sometimes I wonder how I can achieve.
Sometimes I wonder who I am made to be.
Sometimes I wonder when I can reach.
More often than not, I wonder where I am standing.
Before or after you, where should I be?
Send me, O send me... Make me ready before thee!

The Living water....
"Come, all you who are thirsty,
come to the waters;
and you who have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without cost.
2 Why spend money on what is not bread,
and your labor on what does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good,
and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.
3 Give ear and come to me;
hear me, that your soul may live.
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
my faithful love promised to David. - Isaiah 55:1 - 3
=======================
He says, "Come, all you who are thirsty."
"Alright, I am thirsty, I will come. But where do I come to quench my thirst?"
"Come to the waters."
"Yes, that makes sense; if I am thirsty I should come to the waters, but where are the waters?"
"Ah, excellent question. 'Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live.'"
Joke, do you see it now? The water is in the Word of God. Drinking comes by listening. The Bible is our source of true refreshment and quenching of our thirst.
====================
the truth is, i am thirsty for water where only God knows can quench my thirst...

Origin of Coffee...
Dedicated to coffee lovers who ain't got time to surf no coffee website of mine..
What is Coffee?
the word "coffee", meaning "the drink", is a modified form of the turkish wordkahveh which, in turn, is derived from the Arabic kahwa (or qahwah).
coffee was initially consumed only as a part of religious ceremony or on the advice of a physician. Coffee was used to treat kidney stones, smallpox, measles and coughs.
How coffee was found, legend has it that in the depths of Abyssinia, today's Etophia, sometime around the middle of the ninth century, there lived a sober goatherd called Khaldi.
One day, his normally lethargic goats pranced home in an agitated state. Curious at their antics, he followed them and discovered that they had been nibbling red berries of an evergreen tree.
Khadi decided to try some himself and was soon in a state euphoria. In his excitement, he dashed off to broadcast his finding and came upon a Muslim Elder who was depressed by his tendency to nod off during prayers.
Khaldi led him to the secret of the red berries and coffee took its first steptowards becoming one of mankind's favourite pick-me-ups.
Being of a more academic frame of mind than the goatherd, the mullah experimented with the beries and eventually hit on the idea of boiling them, turning the raw fruit of the coffee tree into a fragrant and delicious beverage.
Coffee was then regarded as a wonder drug and was only consumed in Yemen and Arabia on the advice of a doctor. However, Coffee was too exciting to be restricted to medical use for long. The Arabs were jealous of their discovery and refused to allow fertile coffee seed to leave their country; all seeds had to be perched and boiled. However, late in the 15th century, a Muslim pilgrim called Baba Budan bounded 7 seeds to his torso and smuggled them out of Arabia to be planted at his hermitage near Chikamalagur in South India. It is said that all the world`s coffee flowed from these seven seeds.
There are basically two principle species. The Arabica which originated from the middle east and the most widely cultivated around the world. The Robusta which originated from Congo. Robusta trees are hardier and can withstand greater extremes of climate than arabicas. robusta coffee beans are the principal beans used in many instant coffees.
It doesn't take long since then for coffee to spread in the world. The Dutch were the first Europeans to enter the coffee trade. From India, they brought the seeds to Indonesia and the rest of their colonies. And soon, widespread of coffee was made known to the rest of the world...
