A Day trip to Belait District

20th December 2012, 

A day trip to KB with Lily (Shepherd).

Journey

From where I started to where I am today
The journey has been long & tiring
from nothing to some thing I am today
It’s not been an easy journey.

Tried with luck; Tried with hard work
Tried with destiny too
But nothing worked for me.
It’s not been an easy journey.

Found love but lost love too
Found friends but lost them too
Found money, even lost that one too
But the journey continued

Today I stand facing the world
It’s beckoning me to start all over again
While I miss my love
With whom I could start the journey again

I called up my love to join me again
In the journey of life that never concludes
Loser! ! She called me
The lesson of journey never concludes.

I want to move on without my love
Even without my friends & money
As life moves on; I move on with it
To a journey that never concludes

Walking alone on this path
With guts and determination
I want to continue the journey again
A journey where people would remember me
As the man who won million hearts

DO NOT EAT SHRIMP/PRAWN WHEN TAKING 'VITAMIN C'

一名女子突然死亡，意外地从她的耳朵、鼻子、嘴和眼睛发现出血的迹象。
经过初步验尸，诊断她的死亡是由于砷中毒。
那么砷从何而来？

警方展开了深入和广泛的调查。一位医学院教授应邀前来破案。
教授仔细检查。才不过半小时，其中的奥秘就解开了。
教授说：“死者没有自杀，也不是他杀。她的意外死亡是由于她的无知！”
每个人都感到困惑，为什么她会因无知而意外死亡？
教授说：“砒霜是在死者的胃部产生的。”平日死者都有服用‘维生素C’，这本身是没有问题的。
问题是，在晚宴时她吃了很多分量的虾。吃虾是没有问题，因为她的家人同样的也在当晚吃了虾。然而，死者却在吃虾的同时还服食了‘维生素C’，问题就是出在这里！

在美国芝加哥大学的研究人员通过实验发现，如软壳类的食品含有钾砷化合物的浓度要高得很多。

这种新鲜食物本身对人体无任何有毒副作用。

然而，原本的非有毒元素在服用了‘维生素C’产生化学反应后，即变化成有毒元素。

砷中毒的岩浆作用，可能导致小血管瘫痪。因此，一个人死于砷中毒，会从耳、鼻、嘴和眼睛出血的迹象显示。因此，预防措施是：吃虾时不能服用‘维生素C’。

读完这篇报导，请不要吝啬。分享给你的朋友。

A woman suddenly died unexpectedly with signs of bleeding from her ears, nose, mouth & eyes.
After a preliminary autopsy it was diagnosed that death was due to arsenic poisoning.
Where did the arsenic come from?

The police launched an in-depth and extensive investigation. A medical school professor was invited to come to solve the case.
The professor carefully looked at the contents. In less than half an hour, the mystery was solved.
The professor said: 'The deceased did not commit suicide and neither was she murdered, she died of accidental death due to ignorance!'
Everyone was puzzled, why accidental death?
The professor said: 'The arsenic was produced in the stomach of the deceased.' The deceased used to take 'Vitamin C' everyday, which in itself is not a problem.
The problem was that she ate a large portion of shrimp/prawn during dinner. Eating shrimp/prawn is not the problem that's why nothing happened to her family even though they had the same shrimp/prawn. However at the same time the deceased also took 'vitamin C', that is where the problem was!

Researchers at the University of Chicago in the United States , found through experiments, food such as soft-shell contain much higher concentration of five
potassium arsenic compounds.

Such fresh food by itself has no toxic effects on the human body.

However, in taking 'vitamin C', chemical reaction occurs and the original non-toxic elements change to toxic elements.

Arsenic poisoning has magma role and can cause paralysis to the small blood vessels. Therefore, a person who dies of arsenic poisoning will show signs of bleeding from the ears, nose, mouth & eyes. Thus as a precautionary measure,

 DO NOT eat shrimp/prawn when taking 'vitamin C'.'

I found this in my Facebook News Feed - www.facebook.com/willollogy. I thought that this would be a great thing to share with all of you out there for a laugh :D 

Laugh the stress out people! 

Just When You're about to give up...

JUST WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO GIVE UP, REMEMBER WHY YOU HELD ON FOR SO LONG...

At some point in the various journeys we embark on in our lives, we get to a part where we feel like giving up. Sometimes we give up before we even start and other times we give up just before we are about to make that huge break-through that we have been putting so much effort in to achieve.

I have created this list of 22 reasons why you should never give up and I hope that you will find it before you give up, so that I can inspire you to keep going!

1- As Long As You Are Alive Anything Is Possible
The only valid excuse you have to give up is if you are dead. As long as you are alive (and healthy and free) you have the choice to keep trying until you finally succeed.

2- Be Realistic
The chance of mastering something the first time you do it is almost non-existent. Everything takes time to learn and you will make mistakes. Learn from them.

3- Michael Jordan
Arguably the best basketball player of all time. He attributes his success to all his failures. He just never gave up even when he knew he had missed over 300 shots and had missed the winning shot of the game many times. Every time he got knocked down he got back up again.

4- Lance Armstrong
Lance was diagnosed with serious cancer that had spread throughout his entire body. He had cancer cells the size of golf balls in his lungs. Despite all odds he overcame the cancer and set out to win the Tour de France 6 Consecutive years in a row.

5- Muhammad Ali
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”. Muhammad Ali is one of the best boxers the world has ever known. He suffered only 5 losses while having 56 wins and was the first boxer to win the lineal heavyweight championship three times. This is a guy who literally knows how to get knocked down and get back up.

6- The Man Who Created The Marathon
Very long ago an Athenian herald was sent to Sparta to get help when the Persians landed in Greece. It was said that he ran 240km in 2 days and after that he ran 40km to announce the victory of the Greeks only to collapse and die on the spot from exhaustion. If you ever feel like things are difficult, imagine what it would be like to run 240km in 2 days. (Don’t try that because you might die from it, but use it as an inspiration).

7- Chris Gardner – The Pursuit of Happiness
Have you seen the movie “The Pursuit of Happiness”? It is based on the life story of Chris Gardener, a man who went for the lowest of the lows in an environment where most people would give up (no money, no job) to the highest of the highs (A millionaire with his own investment firm). If you ever think about giving up, watch this movie!

8- Kanye West
I’m pretty sure you have heard of the rapper Kanye West. Read his story. He is a big inspiration for me and proves that you can go from having very little to being among the most famous and respected people in the world.

9- Nelson Mandela
Campaigned for justice and freedom in his South Africa. Spent 20 years in jail for his opposition to apartheid. On release he healed the wounds of apartheid by his magnanimous attitude toward his former political enemies.

10- You Are Strong
You are stronger than you think. One little setback is not enough to stop you from achieving your goals. Neither are 10 or 100 or 1000 setbacks.

11- Prove Yourself
You don’t want to be known as someone that is weak and gives up. Go out there and prove yourself to the world and to yourself. You CAN and WILL achieve what you set out to do. The only time you fail is when you give up.

12- Has It Been Done Before?
If someone else can do it then so can you. Even if it is only one other person in the world that has achieved what you have set out to achieve, that should be reason enough for you to never give up.

13- Believe In Your Dreams
Don’t sell yourself short. In life there are going to be many people who will try to bring you down and tell you what you want to achieve is not possible. Don’t let anyone destroy your dreams.

14- Your Family and Friends.
Let the people you love and who mean the world to you be your inspiration to persist and persevere. Maybe you need to try a different angle, study more or practice more but don’t give up!

15- Because I Tell You To.
Not that I am any sort of guru or Godly figure, but if you want to give up then don’t. Just because I’m telling you not to.

16- There Are People Worse-Off
Right now there are many people who are in a worse situation and environment than you are right now. Are you thinking about giving up running 5 miles a week? Think about the people who are unable to even walk and how much they would give to be able to run 5 miles every day.

17- Improve Our World
When you achieve whatever you set out to achieve you can use your success to make a difference to the world or other peoples lives.

18- Get Rich or Die Trying
 Like Fiddy (50 cent) says, “Get rich or die trying”. 50 Cent is rich, he made it (although he did get shot 9 times). Face your fears and don't take the easy way out by giving up.

19- Let The Haters Hate
There will always be haters. There will always be plenty of naysayers and people who try to tear you down. Don’t pay attention to them and don’t take what they say to heart. Let the haters hate and you keep believing in yourself.

20- You Deserve To Be Happy
Don’t ever let anybody tell you otherwise. You deserve to be happy and you deserve to have success. Keep that mindset and never give up until you reach your destination!

21- Inspire Others
Be an inspiration to others by refusing to give up. Who knows what someone else can achieve because you never gave up and in turn inspired them not to give up.

22- You Are So Close
Often when you feel like you want to give up and you are about to give up you are so close to making a huge break-thru. Seth Godin has written an awesome book about this called “The Dip” – a riveting read that teaches that at any given time you are always just a heartbeat away from success.

P.S. NEVER GIVE UP!

Something came up by us!

The moment you realize you have a Shepherd who will always be there for you :D

Everything came out very randomly. At first was thinking of just going out to photocopy ('print' as stated by my dear shepherd xP) then we ended up going for my brunch at Easy way.. just when we were right infront of her house.. we decided to visit a friend's house but ended up going further to look around Lambak area. At that very moment, I came out with an idea of going for a visit to my ex sixth form centre. Just at that very moment, thought of going to the beach came up and this is how all these things came up~ Brunei map became dinosaur~ Borneo map became Chicken~ HAHAAA~Anyhow.. i Had a great day! I hope my shepherd did too~ :D

Jesus's Prayer 耶稣的祷告

Speaker: Bro. Tan Kah Yu
Bible verse: John 17: 1-26

John 17 is God's prayer

1St: What did God said and did before God  said this prayer? (John 13,14,15,16)

Chapter 13: Wash the disciples feet
Jesus shows us that we have to serve each other - especially the leaders

Chapter 14: Gave the new Commanment - Love others like you love yourselves
Dont Give up! Trust in God! Do not fear!

Chapter 15: There is a relationship between us and God
The Vine and the Branch. If we are with him, then we will bear fruit. If we are not with him, we will not bear fruit
®Pepare thr world to hate you --> coz you are not like them --> coz you don't belong ro them
®Christian are like light. Once youre among the non believers and expose the things that they've done, this will make rhem uncomfortable. Which then they hate you

Chapter 16: Work of Holy spirirt in Believer's life and the Father's Love
Reminds you when you do wrong and show us how unrighteous ae are when we are in front of the righteous God

So Jesus is telling us: the world hate us is fine. But the Holy spirit will come and protect us and tells us what to do

Chapter 17: Enough of sharing. Enough of Teaching. PRAYER TIME(:

©What is Eternal Life?
It's not only coming to church. But to know the Father. The Jews can't even call Him Father. They call Him Yahweh, Jehovah,etc
BUT...
We have honor to call him Father thru Lord Jesus Christ which other religion dont have the opportunity as they don't believe Jesus Christ as the Son of God.

We can be assured that we are safe in God's hand if we believe in Jesus, practice Jesus's teaching and trust Jesus whole-heartedly

Jesus wants said we are already united spiritually thru the same Lord to the same Father

Keep The Commands of Christ紧记主的命令

Speaker: Bro Meng
Bible Verses: John 14:15&21

What does it mean?
It is NOT optional. It is so essential in order for us to live a successful Christian Life!

There will be times when we might be confused of our direction in our Christian life. So we need to use Christ commands to get back on track as He is our guide. So we need to be familiar with His commands and His words (bearings on our compass direction) - Deutronomy 11:18-20; Matthew 28:18-19

Jesus command to His disciples before He went back to Heaven: To make disciples of Nations "God's commandments should be more desired than Gold, more precious than Silver" If we follow God's commands,

God promise to reward us: °Our lives with Love (John 14:23) °Jesus will love us and revealing Himself to us (John 14:21) [Greatest Reward]

°Our prayers would be answered (1John 3:22, John 15:11) "OBEY First; UNDERSTAND Later" Eg: Prophet Elijah - Water in Desert™
