Are you part of the 98%??

This is a cool psychology test.. try it out.. You do not need pen or paper, just answer as you go.. There's no trick or surprise.. Just follow these instructions and answer the questions as quickly as you can one at a time..

Now, arrow down (but not too fast, you might miss something) ...

What is:

1+5

2+4

3+3

4+2

5+1

Now repeat saying the number 6 to yourself as fast as you can for 15 seconds. Then scroll down.

QUICK!!! THINK OF A VEGETABLE! !

Then arrow down.

Again arrow down.

You're thinking of a CARROT, right?

If not, you're among the 2% of the population whose minds are different enough to think of something else. 98% of people will answer with carrot when given this exercise. Freaky, huh?

Not feeling well..

I'm not feeling well today.. My nose is bordering me.. Keep on sneezing the whole day.. Actually I am not sure if it is just a simple cold or the flu, but I feel awful! Felt better after taken the medicine..

If God leads you to walk a way..

I like this hymn..

If God leads you to walk
A way that you know,
It will not benefit you as much as
If He would lead you to take the way
That you do not know.
This forces you to have
Hundreds and thousands of
Conversations with Him,
Resulting in a journey that is an
Everlasting memorial
Between you and Him..

Many times I ain't able to apprehend which one is the right course that God will leads me to journey on.. Which one is the right path? What am I suppose to fulfill? Where should I go? I conceive that, I should not be bother by it.. I just ought to abide in Him, trust in Him, submit under His authority, fellowship with Him and enjoy Him.. Throughout this period of time, the journey and way that I went through, ushered me to be more intimate and closer to Him..

..Right to Left..

I came across this joke..

A disappointed salesman of Coca Cola returns from his Middle East assignment. A friend asked, "Why weren't you successful with the Arabs?" The salesman explained, "When I got posted in the Middle East, I was very confident that I will makes a good sales pitch as Cola is virtually unknown there. But, I had a problem I didn't know to speak Arabic. So, I planned to convey the message through 3 posters.....

First poster, a man crawling through the hot desert sand... Totally exhausted and panting.
Second poster, the man is drinking our Cola and
Third, our man is now totally refreshed.

Then these posters were pasted all over the place.. "That should have worked," said the friend.
The salesman replied, "Well, not only did I not speak Arabic, I also didn't realise that Arabs Read from Right to Left..."

Will Introspection Paralyze Us?

A Christian can never progresses spiritually if he does not know himself. Neither can he progress further if he self-examine or introspect.

The Bible does not command Christians to examine themselves, because introspection is not only unprofitable, but it hinders the progress of our growth. The apostle Paul did not care how others judged him. He did not even judge himself. He said, "Do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and make manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then there will be praise to each from God" (1 Cor. 4:5). Paul knew that only when the Lord shines His light, we know what is right and what is wrong.

If a Christian repeatedly look at himself, he will surely fail. He will either be proud and consider himself better than his companions when he thinks that he has no fault or he will be discouraged when he thinks about his faults. If our self-knowledge comes from the shining of God, then the results will be different.

Here is a fable about a centipede and a frog...
During their conversation the frog asked the centipede. “You have so many feet, how do you walk? When you walk, which of your hundred feet moves first?” So the centipede tried to figure out which foot moved first. No matter how he tried he could not put forth one foot. He became so disgusted that he declared, “I do not care, I am going.” Yet before he could make a move, he was again thinking of which foot moved first. He was thus completely paralyzed. After a while the sunlight broke through the cloud. When he saw the light his heart was so enthralled with it that he just ran after the sunlight. Gone was his concern over the order of his foot movement. He was actually moving forward.

Now this fable can serve as a mirror to our Christian life. Whenever we turn to look at ourselves we are immobilized and cannot advance; but if we look at the light of God, we shall unconsciously move ahead.

Hebrews 12:2 says: "Looking away unto Jesus..."
In order for us to look unto, we must first look away.. We must first look away from what we should not be looking at; then we can look unto what we should. Our spiritual living is based upon looking unto Jesus.

Therefore, we need to look away unto Jesus...

~A little~

There's always ~~

a little truth behind every "JUST KIDDING",
a little knowledge behind every "I DON'T KNOW"
a little emotion behind every "I DON'T CARE" and
a little pain behind every "IT'S OK"

Trip to Bukit Tinggi before CNY

Just two days before CNY holiday, I had a blending trip with some overseas saints to Bukit Tinggi.. While I was considering whether to go or not to go, a brother just mentioned that there is not enough transport and they didn't know the way there .. haha..then I understand that I do not have other choice.. huh! luckily I was on leave that day.

Well, after breakfast together nearby the meeting hall, we headed up to Bukit Tinggi. It took about 1.5 hours before we reached to the destination.

Firstly, we arrived Colmar Tropicale, a French-themed village. It is located 2,600 feet (790m) above sea level on 80 acres of natural forestland. Eventhough it was located high-land but we don't feel cooling at all and the sun was scorching hot. We could only enjoy the fresh breeze..

We started to take picture...

After that, we went to the Japanese Village, which is about 3,500 feet above sea level.. We enjoyed the breathtaking scenery..

..nice scenery..

wondering what are they watching..

After everyone was tired and hungry, we departed for our lunch..
