Just Keep Me Where The Light Is

Humility

Humility is perfect quietness of heart, It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. It is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and above is trouble.

Humour gets people through life sane =D

Frustrations.

2009-11-22T09:00:00.000-08:00

Frustrated.Frustrating.

That's basically how my definition of our existence here(RIGHT NOW)

I want to do right thing, i want to read my bible daily, i want my time with my God, i want to help people.

I'm sick of not doing what im suppose to be doing.Are you sick of it? Many of us feel the same don't we?

Sometimes i feel tired of being human,i want to not feel weak,i want to not be able to sin.

Sometimes i think one more encounter with God might change me for good.But then i know that's rubbish.Even if I saw with my own eyes the parting of the Red Sea,I probably would still remain in this stubborn state.To know that there is a God and to still continues sinning,only a human is capable of this feat.

Change me,so that i may be of worth to you.

Here's a scripture that brightened my mood.

Joel 2:32

Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall saved.

It doesn't say maybe saved,it says shall or in other words will be saved.Finally some hope huh? XD

I wont say too much,just that the answers to everything is in the Bible.If you'v looked at this post and don't want to remember a thing,just remember Bible has the answers.And this isn't me trying to sound holy,its me who's frustrated and hurt and tired,a typical human,so trust your fellow human.It doesn't hurt.No,seriously =P

PS. If anyone needs help of any sort,im available since im so free and all =D Free help

Calvin: "Do you believe in the devil? You know, a supreme evil being dedicated to the temptation, corruption, and destruction of man?"
Hobbes: "I'm not sure that man needs the help."

(Too True!)

Tears in Heaven by Masa Sumide

2009-06-23T03:01:00.000-07:00

Check this version of Tears in Heaven originally by Eric Clapton.Its really really good,made me feel so emo.heh. Trying to play this song by the end of this week.Its really really nice.Do take time to watch it,please :D

Anyways yea WATCH IT!hahaha.And don't ask me why he's so happy at the end.
Cheerio.

Bali Trip = )

2009-06-22T08:38:00.000-07:00

I know i haven't been posting lately,cause well,i have been guilty of being super lazy after exams were over.

Anyways right after my exams,i did however managed to go to Bali with my family.At first i thought it wouldn't be that interesting,cause well how different can Malaysia be from Indonesia right?Well WRONG! Everything in Bali was so different,from the natural scenery to the pork satays and mainly the people there-The Balinese people i refer to of course,they were great and really really friendly people.

Besides that our tour guide,Mr Thomas was uber cool as well,he was so so patient even when we wanted to shop till late at night,and he got us lotsa discounts all over the place.Two thumbs up to him and the tour agency.

Anyways just in case you didn't believe me bout the scenery and the FOOD.Here's proof.

The view from Uluwatu Temple
Simply Breathtaking :D

Stupid monkeys who steals stuff by jumping on us humans

The Kechak Dance

Dinner at Jimbaran Beach

Which was amazing XD

Would you like a live band with that dinner on the beach?

The friendly and talented balinese people

This was where we ate

That was basically the first day in Bali.Those monkeys were pretty disturbing,there were like hundreds of them.And they attack humans.Saw it right in front of me,this monkey jumped from a tree and stole a guys hat.Bad monkeys.Besides that,everything else was amazing,the dinner was on the beach!Now why can't they do that in Malaysia?And it was cheap as well,all that seafood for 70 bucks,for all 3 of us.

The woodcarving place,strange carvings,i know.

Buffet lunch on Mount Kintamani,those are pork satays*drools*

Again amazing scenery

Me and Mom

Luwak Coffee beans

Free coffee

Heehee

Umm,some really gorgeous temple with lotsa lakes

Tanah Lot Temple,supposedly the temple on water but its low tide so yea

Sunset at Tanah Lot

And this is how they plant paddy

AC|DC

The guitar used by the King himself :D

Base used by the Beatles

Dunno why i took a picture of Tom Petty's guitar but whatever i guess

Our dinner,haha.

Ajay,Tour guide Tony and ME

Mount Kintamani was really really cool,literally i mean.And the view from our restaurant was the volcano Mt Batur.Those pork satays were yummy as well.We also went snorkelling later on and we visited another temple.Funny thing though,their temples weren't full of idols,more of nature and lakes.And it was built like way back,1000 years back.Oh and your not allowed to wear short pants,hence the sarong wearing.Another highlight would be the coffee farm,and the infamous Luwak Coffee seen in the movie bucketlist starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.Its the most expensive coffee and supposedly the best as well.Truth was it was really good but made from the poop of some animal called Luwak.I was about to buy some back when i realized its 200 bloody Malaysian for a small box.Grrrrrr.

Later that night we went shopping in Kuta.Before that we also managed to buy really cheap billabong and quiksilver stuff from the Factory Outlets.The surf shops there were really GIGANTIC.Billabong was like 4 storeys or something.Anyway Kuta was much like Malaysia,price wise anyways.Buildings in Bali are made so that it can't be taller than a coconut tree,pretty cool way of preserving nature.After walking around i managed to find a shop which sold Dolce and Gabana,Armani and Versace clothes for super low prices.I got a few shirts and D&G jeans,altogether came up to like 200 Malaysian.That pretty much made my day :D

On the third day,we had Balinese massage and Spa.I only can tell you that it was really good to be pampered.After that we went back to the airport and flew back all the way here.In the plane i sat next to this white couple who were making out and doing things that i shouldn't mention here XD Made me sick eventhough im not airsick.

Anyway thats about it for my Bali Trip.Those who want a super cool tour guide,i have just the right person,so contact me =)

It was somewhat weird yet good to see a quote by beatles in Bali,one of my greatest influences in music.Anyways it gave me a good way to end my post.

-In the end, the love we take equals to the love we make-

So make more love :D I mean show more love people!
Cheers.

The study mood is back baby =D (For now)

2009-05-30T03:13:00.001-07:00

Well its been almost 24 hours of not doing much,being upset bout maths and guitar playing to distract myself.After all that i figured i still could get an A for maths if the standard for an A drops,plus chem and physics might turn out to be a paper(I hope).

Also here's some pictures of Hera,which i took when i stayed over at Sean's place on wednesday.I thought she was really really cute,has a great personality.Hobbies include,licking human feet(wonder how that tastes like) and getting excited for no reason,which is really amusing to me,since im dogless.

Anyways gotta get back to my date with chem and physics,got a wedding later as well.Will updat after the BIG exam.

Thank God Friday is Over !

2009-05-30T02:49:00.000-07:00

Sorry for not updating,still doing my finals.

Anyways,MathsP3 turned out to be a bummer. Having studied for it for hours(even though last minute),it was nothing like the pasts years,was completely different from any other paper,it was bloody demoralizing.Felt like giving up after that paper.

At least everyone agreed as well,most people were feeling the same way i did.
The worst is still to come,double dose of physics and chem next wednesday is leaving me without sleep.

On a brighter note,i finally got the cd that i was dying for,John Mayer,live in L.A.And surprise surprise,i got to indulge myself with nasi kerabu(traditional kelantanese dish with fish and many many malay stuff things)yum yum =D Since my grandma was down from kelantan for the wedding.Thats all for now,cheers.

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You better know that in the end
It’s better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say again.

Songwriting talent i'd pay for.Amazing song,watch the movie,really really meaningful show.
Enjoy! =D
Cheers.
(Ps. I know all my videos are on john mayer,so im sorry to those who dont like him :P)

Finally Letting Go.

2009-05-17T08:00:00.000-07:00

Here comes the pain.

2009-05-17T04:37:00.000-07:00

A2 Finals start tomorrow!arghhh.

And i am not where i pictured myself a month ago.I told myself,Arwin,you have 30 days more,you cant afford to slip up.Then here i am now,in the same situation again.Its like Deja Vu,just that this isn't SPM,its A levels,and that makes it harder.I was lucky the last time.No wait,not luck,it was due to God's grace and prayers that i did well the last time.

And well this time,i need another miracle,study harder for this last 3 weeks,and do my best.Hope its enough this time round.

Well heres a favour to those who read this,pray for me.If i get 2A's or 3 i promise a treat to those who prayed =DDinner or lunch or a drink,on me.

Wish me luck,oops not luck,just well wish me well i mean.Adios for now =D

Slow dancing in a burning room.

2009-05-16T10:24:00.000-07:00

Here's another favourite of mine.Pretty much sums up my mood at the moment.To who this song maybe related to:we are slow dancing in a burning room,maybe i'm not really dancing,since i don't dance.But still,yea implications still there.

Enjoy =D
Oh yea check Psalm 103:11-12(those who have a bible)Randomness.

Look up,say cheese,the rest is history.

2009-05-16T07:45:00.000-07:00

First of all congrats again to Manchester United for winning the title.And all credit to them(Just not to their fans)haha.No offense meant.

As for us Arsenal(me) and Liverpool fans
It spells another disappointing season,more for arsenal i guess.

We all go through disappointment,some more,some less.This past week has been pretty hard,exams are close and well, i'm far from where i had hoped to be.And i lost something\someone very dear to my heart.

At the end of this week im left wondering if im gonna do well,or even pass the finals.Felt as if disappointment sank its claws right into my back and started dragging me down into this downward spiral of endless guilt for not studying hard enough.Then *click* someone turned the lights back on,it makes sense that its the worse disappointment can ever do,it can bruise u emotionally,but it only gives you this delusion that your worthless,the rest is just well,in your head.

Time to look up,say cheese and smile,cause well,as much as disappointment may laugh at us,it cant hurt us if we are determined to beat the drop.Here's to disappointment!May you plague us with many more brutal encounters,for we will always look up and smile away those problems that seem bigger than life.

So as for today,it may be wasted but hey,there's tomorrow.So 6 papers of mechanics and 1 paper of physics tomorrow.No more gloom and despair.
