What does it mean to be a man?

"A man is defined by what he produces and not what he consumes."

Watch and you'll understand the line above.

[You can watch this in HD, go to this YouTube link]

"You wanna marry a guy you want to have babies with, you don't want to marry a guy who's a baby."

"Guys don't take initiative cuz Christian guys don't want to fail, and if they don't try they can't fail, and by definition, that's a failure."

"John (the Baptist) shows us what a real man is. He's filled with the spirit, he humbly prepares the way for Jesus, he's an evangelist who makes it his life's work to introduce others to Jesus. He's a man who, ultimately, is a giver, not a taker. He's a producer, not a consumer."

"You want to be creators and cultivators. If you want to image God, God as a creator and a cultivator:
you create a marriage and you cultivate that woman;
you create a child with her and you cultivate that child;
you create a new family legacy for generations and you cultivate it;
you create a business and you cultivate it;
you create a ministry and you cultivate it.

Want to be a man? You're a creator and a cultivator.
You're a producer, not a consumer. You're a giver, not a taker. You bring life, not death. You're not looking for the path with least resistance, you're looking for the path of greatest glory to God."

A-men!

Job match-making

Lately, JobsDB has been sending me Job Alerts pretty frequently. Is this a sign? *ooooo..* haha..

But look what they have matched me with.



Swimwear designer? Making me wonder: what in the world was my job criteria at that time?

Bear in mind, this was when I was first looking for a job - more than 2 years ago.

Maybe I was ambitious then. Haha.

I love Thee

My Jesus, I love Thee
My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign.
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

I love Thee because Thou has first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree.
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,
And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;
And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

- William Ralph Featherston, 1864


I Love Thee, Lord.

1864 - switch the '8' and '6', flip the '6' upside down, and then you get? 1984!
That's right, I'm 25 years old. And that's okay. =)

Seeing beyond warna

Something got me thinking.

About us seeing beyond our colour.

If the real purpose of 1Malaysia, is for us to be united as a country, and see beyond the colour of our skin...

Then why should seeing a group of Chinese dudes together be a problem? Why would it be considered racial and not 1Malaysia-like?

Why should we say,

"Look, they are not muhibah,"

when we see only a particular ethnic group together?

Because whether the group consisted of

[Ali, Ahmad, Amin] OR [Abu, Muthu, and Ah Chong],

aren't both groups considered MALAYSIAN?

Because if you truly believed in seeing everyone as Malaysian, then your comment of

"Eh, why no 'dan lain-lain' in this blogpost? So not 1Malaysia.."

already proves that you're still seeing through 'coloured lenses'.


*I'd like to know if you think this makes sense. Let's talk this through.
