other state or country. i was away from going online and blogging. haha...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, i left my previous company on 16th feb, had a nice long break during cny, and started my new job on 1st march. ah... everything is so different. from a big company to a small company. from a place that is not so jam to a place that is very jam. the worst thing is the amount of stress and pressure that i have to go thru. my boss is just sitting 5 feet from me. besides, i also dont have many things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;recently i had alot of mistake. i was prepared to be fired by her. thank God that she gave me chance. ai... what a terrible situation i am in. i am not sure how long can i stay in this job. i would say that i do not have a choice. if i were to stay in my previous company, i have to bear the expensive toll and parking. other than that, there is no increment this year also..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i pray God that He will give me another job that is nearby my house, a big company, good pay (at least rm 2k) and a job that i can pick up easily. amen!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

feel it? yes, i begin to feel it already.. as for this year, i think i have fallen for someone. i dont know why, when or how it happened? she is just such a nice gal. many people will agree with me on this. haha.. anyway, it is still not the time yet for me to do anything to persue her. we both have things that we need to persue, especially in career. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;besides, i also believe that now is the time for us to build ourself up, before we get into the lovey-dovey feeling. no doubt that i wanted to have a gf very much this year, to spend time with me, accompany me always, be by my side supporting me, etc. having said all, i am still not ready yet, especially in term of finances. sigh...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;i pray and hope that by next year, i will be already be her close friend, and if God willing, she shall be with me, and i

This verse appears over and over again in my mind since last Saturday...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;January 29, 2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VERSE:   Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.     -- Ephesians 3:20-21     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Ephesians+3:20-21"&gt;http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Ephesians+3:20-21&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THOUGHT:   Sometimes there is nothing left for us to do except praise God! While we may sometimes dream of doing great things for God and His Kingdom, the dreams aren't as big as God's plans. While we may be richly talented, influential, powerful, or rich, these are merely tools in God's hands, not symbols of our sufficiency. "God is able" has to be one of the best and most accurate phrases in the Bible. But this time, it's said about His work in you in me. He is able much more than we imagine to work through and in us. What can we say to that? Hallelujah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PRAYER:   Loving Father, please help me better know and live Your will.

never will I forsake you." -- Hebrews 13:5 &lt;a href="http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Hebrews+13:5"&gt;http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Hebrews+13:5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;THOUGHT: We have two choices for our lives. We can either live by faithor by sight. We can trust in God's abiding presence and power or wecan depend upon our own resources. But wealth -- like health, status, and reputation -- is subject to decay and disappearance.Only one Source is always there for us and we know we can depend upon him, because he has been there for so many who have come before us. Never is forever and this one "never" I cherish: "Never will I forsake you!"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;PRAYER: Holy Father, the Great I Am, thank you for being there tomorrow before I arrive there. Thank you for being there in my past when all others forsook me. Thank you for being there when I was unaware of your presence until I looked back and saw the evidences of your grace. Please give me courage to truly believe your promises, especially this one about your always being there. Your promise hasmade "never" a very important word for me today! Thank you. In the name of your loving Son, Jesus, I pray. Amen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/933579862841843246-9000813988040279296?l=mikechaow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/feeds/9000813988040279296/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=933579862841843246&amp;postID=9000813988040279296' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/9000813988040279296'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/9000813988040279296'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/2007/01/never-will-i-leave-you-never-will-i.html' title='Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'/><author><name>'mike.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11151123028616194099</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/R3m9KjkqDiI/AAAAAAAAAB8/5JwRZ9VvDcc/S220/DSC01936.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/RZxzvwD_6KI/AAAAAAAAAAw/WlXk0OxNM2U/s72-c/never_will_i_leave_you.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933579862841843246.post-5630525486963941036</id><published>2006-12-22T09:49:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-22T10:06:43.876+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Merry Christmas!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/RYs73roQtDI/AAAAAAAAAAk/j31wsHqJT_U/s1600-h/christmas.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5011164838170244146" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/RYs73roQtDI/AAAAAAAAAAk/j31wsHqJT_U/s320/christmas.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;Merry Christmas! Ho ho ho! Christmas is definately one of the most beautiful seasons. I like Christmas very much and enjoy its beauty. I always wish that I could go to places like America, United Kingdom or even just Singapore to enjoy Christmas there. But so far, I still haven't get the chance to do so. Let me target next year, to spend Christmas at least in my neighbouring country, Singapore. Haha.. Orchard road will be nice. The environment is just so different from Malaysia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;Anyway, one of the most precious things i learnt about Christmas is that the God of love, King of the universe sent His only begotten Son to earth to restore the relationship between Father God and His children, which are us. God wants to fellowship with us. He got no other way to do so because we humans are sinners, but He is holy. The only way for us to go back to His embrace is by making our sins wash away, forgiven. How?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;He had to find someone who is sinless to take away our sins. As a result, He sent Jesus Christ to come among mankind, and finally to die on the cross to take away our sins. Whoever believes in Jesus, their sins are forgiven. I am glad that I know Jesus Christ. Come! Come and know the loving Saviour of the world, the Lord Jesus Christ...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6666;"&gt;Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I thank you for this time of Christmas. I know that more than 2,000 years ago, You came to earth, to live among mankind. I thank you for Your love that You are willing to suffer and die on the cross for me. Right now I commit myself to You, asking You to forgive me of all my sins. I receive You into my life as my Lord and Saviour. Please lead me and guide me from this day onwards. This is definately my most meaningful Christmas. Thank you Lord, in Your name I pray, Amen!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/933579862841843246-5630525486963941036?l=mikechaow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/feeds/5630525486963941036/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=933579862841843246&amp;postID=5630525486963941036' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/5630525486963941036'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/5630525486963941036'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/2006/12/merry-christmas.html' title='Merry Christmas!'/><author><name>'mike.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11151123028616194099</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/R3m9KjkqDiI/AAAAAAAAAB8/5JwRZ9VvDcc/S220/DSC01936.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/RYs73roQtDI/AAAAAAAAAAk/j31wsHqJT_U/s72-c/christmas.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933579862841843246.post-4512029018696190957</id><published>2006-12-19T13:35:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-19T13:36:56.076+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food for thought'/><title type='text'>time</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/RYd6aboQtCI/AAAAAAAAAAY/4FX89AGnf58/s1600-h/time.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5010107704984777762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/RYd6aboQtCI/AAAAAAAAAAY/4FX89AGnf58/s320/time.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/933579862841843246-4512029018696190957?l=mikechaow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/feeds/4512029018696190957/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=933579862841843246&amp;postID=4512029018696190957' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/4512029018696190957'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/4512029018696190957'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/2006/12/time.html' title='time'/><author><name>'mike.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11151123028616194099</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/R3m9KjkqDiI/AAAAAAAAAB8/5JwRZ9VvDcc/S220/DSC01936.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/RYd6aboQtCI/AAAAAAAAAAY/4FX89AGnf58/s72-c/time.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933579862841843246.post-2670774190239449371</id><published>2006-12-13T10:30:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-12-13T10:47:25.221+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='myself'/><title type='text'>it has been awhile...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/RX9pPxRrLiI/AAAAAAAAAAM/VmwSAp8gVQM/s1600-h/christmas-lights-16.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5007837030305705506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/RX9pPxRrLiI/AAAAAAAAAAM/VmwSAp8gVQM/s320/christmas-lights-16.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcccc;"&gt;it has been awhile since i last post. i was thinking to myself, how come? i found out that i was a little lazy and did not have much ideas of what to post. anyway, things around me had been great for the past few weeks. in church, we had conference with pastor robb. we had so much fun dancing with doctor dennis, and i learnt a number of things from pastor robb.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcccc;"&gt;then the following week, we had another conference with pastor pat mesiti. wow! this pastor is really funny.. and he is a very down to earth kind of man. haha.. what i learnt? dream + action, and always carry a good and godly attitude/character. last week, we had pastor mike connell and on sunday nite, we had our thanksgiving nite! woo hoo... so many exciting programs were line up for us. i saw one of the best fashion show ever, and also the hair design and make up competition. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcccc;"&gt;er hmm... 'someone' was in the competition, and i took picture with her for the first time. hehe... i must admit that i was abit nervous, and so i didnt smile much in the picture. anyway, the picture is nice :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcccc;"&gt;now come this week.. nothing much exciting, but i am looking forward to christmas and hopefully that i can take a week leave off. i am really getting sick and tired of working for people already... God, help me out of the rat race!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffcccc;"&gt;i think that's all for now... till next time... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/933579862841843246-2670774190239449371?l=mikechaow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/feeds/2670774190239449371/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=933579862841843246&amp;postID=2670774190239449371' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/2670774190239449371'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/2670774190239449371'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/2006/12/it-has-been-awhile.html' title='it has been awhile...'/><author><name>'mike.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11151123028616194099</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/R3m9KjkqDiI/AAAAAAAAAB8/5JwRZ9VvDcc/S220/DSC01936.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/RX9pPxRrLiI/AAAAAAAAAAM/VmwSAp8gVQM/s72-c/christmas-lights-16.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933579862841843246.post-8630707782257292303</id><published>2006-11-28T09:35:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-28T09:39:07.128+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food for thought'/><title type='text'>piority</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/7726/113962385600810/1600/piority.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/7726/113962385600810/400/piority.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/933579862841843246-8630707782257292303?l=mikechaow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/feeds/8630707782257292303/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=933579862841843246&amp;postID=8630707782257292303' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/8630707782257292303'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/8630707782257292303'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/2006/11/piority.html' title='piority'/><author><name>'mike.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11151123028616194099</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/R3m9KjkqDiI/AAAAAAAAAB8/5JwRZ9VvDcc/S220/DSC01936.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933579862841843246.post-5654656685794233658</id><published>2006-11-24T09:26:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-24T09:57:15.142+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='myself'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love'/><title type='text'>i object!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/7726/113962385600810/1600/689407/wedding_photo.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/7726/113962385600810/320/828730/wedding_photo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;there was a thought that crossed my mind lately. anyone who been to a christian wedding will know that the pastor would ask the congregration if anyone object the marriage or not. i been to quite a number of christian weddings, but i have not seen anybody objecting the marriage before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;i wonder what will the consequences be after a person stand up and say he/she objects! let me tell my story now. i like a gal in church very much. i wish to marry this gal, but the problem is we seldom get to communicate with one another. she is a cell group leader and always busy with stuffs. i only see her once a week in church, how close can we be? besides, she is not a malaysian.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;so, this thought came to me. if she ever gonna stay in malaysia and settle down here, and eventually marry another guy, i may stand up and object on her wedding day! this is because i love her and not willing to loose her. however i dont know what the consequences will be. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;just imagine this. everyone is happily preparing for the wedding. the parents, family members, relatives and friends of the couple are in church. everyone is happy for them because they finally get married! in the midst of the ceremony, it is time for pastor to ask the question. and then i stand up and say: "i object! i love this gal very much. i am not willing to loose her. i wish to marry her!" for a moment, i may feel and look like a hero, and some people may even respect me of what i do, the kind of courage i have. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;but on the other hand, i may just make a fool of myself. the gal may say to me: "mike, dont be crazy! today is my wedding. we hardly know each other, and i love my husband dearly. we went thru alot and finally get together. why do you treat me like this? do you think you have shown love towards me thru your action?!"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;now.. last nite, the Lord rebuked me. "what you think is not from Me. do you really love her? do you love her as much as I love the people in the world? do you know that I can make all men bow down before Me and worship Me alone and no other god? I love them so much, and yet I give them a free will to choose whether they want to follow me or not. if you really love her, you should be happy for her and pray for them. why do you wanna ruin the whole thing?" said the Lord.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;at that moment, i repented. i was too childish, unwise. but now i thank God that He alerted me and taught me. i commit my love life unto the Lord. if there is a gal the Lord has prepared for me, she will appear one day. if she does not appear, praise God. as paul said it is more blessed to be single and serve the Lord as he was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;to conclude, to love some body is meant to let them be free being. as long as they are happy, you should be happy for them... i know it is tough to do, but Jesus says: "you trust in God, trust also in Me..." you can do it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/933579862841843246-5654656685794233658?l=mikechaow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/feeds/5654656685794233658/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=933579862841843246&amp;postID=5654656685794233658' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/5654656685794233658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/5654656685794233658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/2006/11/i-object.html' title='i object!'/><author><name>'mike.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11151123028616194099</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/R3m9KjkqDiI/AAAAAAAAAB8/5JwRZ9VvDcc/S220/DSC01936.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933579862841843246.post-1017631017879317392</id><published>2006-11-24T09:22:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-24T09:26:34.942+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food for thought'/><title type='text'>true strength</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/7726/113962385600810/1600/628236/true%20strength.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block;

I did find the most magnificent stalk, but did not know if there were any better ones ahead, so I did not pick it.

It was only an ordinary tree.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;His teacher asked, "Why did you chop down such an ordinary tree?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Plato answered, "Because of my previous experience.

sometimes i feel that i am a little straight forward. just like today, i said something that hurted a friend. er hmm... was talking about her past with a guy. things which she told me offline, but i post it online, in her blog. sigh... anyway, thank God that she was able to delete it before others read it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;"&gt;i learnt my lesson. i will be more watchful with my words next time. or should i say the way i presented the message. haha.. besides, she was talking to me about being the real us so that others do not fall in love with us for the fake us. it is easy to pretend to be a nice person when we only meet once in a while for a few hours. but what is going to happen in the future if both get into serious a relationship? can that guy or gal pretend forever? of course not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;"&gt;to anyone who is reading my blog, i wanna tell you that i am who i am. whether i am happy or sad, i will show it to you, no matter if you are the gal i love or trying to persue. it's better to be real than pretend.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff99ff;"&gt;to conclude, be truthful and live a life!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/933579862841843246-5231949037344472571?l=mikechaow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/feeds/5231949037344472571/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=933579862841843246&amp;postID=5231949037344472571' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/5231949037344472571'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/5231949037344472571'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/2006/11/my-mistakes.html' title='my mistakes...'/><author><name>'mike.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11151123028616194099</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/R3m9KjkqDiI/AAAAAAAAAB8/5JwRZ9VvDcc/S220/DSC01936.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933579862841843246.post-7104620417497384335</id><published>2006-11-01T13:42:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-11-01T14:07:25.081+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food for thought'/><title type='text'>believe it or not</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/7726/113962385600810/1600/ripley_poster.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/7726/113962385600810/320/ripley_poster.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;1 If you are right handed, you will tend to chew your food on your right side.

Being too skinny has its drawbacks, so here's how to put on some weight in a healthy way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="Steps"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;Steps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weight train. Don't completely avoid aerobic exercises. You have to experiment to see how they affect your weight gain. A highly recommended book is Championship Bodybuilding by Chris Aceto.&lt;br /&gt;Get more protein. Protein provides the basic building blocks for muscles. It is recommended that you eat your weight in grams. For example, keep your protein between 1-1.5 times your bodyweight. For example, for a 150lb person, he/she would eat between 150g-225g of protein per day. You will not hurt your kidneys by eating this much protein. Unless you have had a kidney removed, your kidneys will not have any problems with this amount.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drink protein shakes. You can also buy protein in powder form. Whey protein is recommended because it is easily absorbed into the body after workouts. Mix it with milk, yogurt, and/or the fruit of your choice. The majority of your protein intake should come from real food, not protein powders.&lt;br /&gt;Eat carbs, especially oatmeal and pasta. Add extra olive oil. While your protein intake will be higher than before, you should consume more carbohydrates than protein. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eat smaller portions of food but more often. Whereas before you may have had 3 meals a day, you could have pseudo-meals in between these. As a general rule, eat every 3 hours. Don't wait till dinner to stuff yourself. Spread out your meal amounts evenly. 6-8 meals per day is feasible. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rid yourself of any preconceived notions that dietary fat is unhealthy. Consume as much unsaturated fat as possible (but avoid saturated and particularly trans fat). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Move a portion of your calorie intake to later in the night, but at least two hours before bedtime.&lt;br /&gt;Drink near a gallon to a gallon and a half of water per day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="Tips"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Tips&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make your calories count. Don't fill your stomach with "empty" calories such as chips, pretzels and other treats. Instead have some sliced turkey, a handful of peanuts, yogurt, etc. Make every calorie a worthwhile calorie. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that some other things such as how much sleep you get and how frequently you get it will affect your metabolism. If you keep a regular sleeping pattern your body will have an easier time storing nutrients as muscle. Also, if you deal with ailments/symptoms such as depression or diabetes, they will affect your ability to gain weight. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay away from fast food! While it will fatten you up, it is usually loaded with harmful trans fat. You should choose foods fried in liquid, nonhydrogenated oil. It is equally fattening, and much healthier.&lt;br /&gt;You can eat lots of sweet potatoes. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the first month of weight training, expect tremendous gains if you are faithful to your schedule. However also expect this to level off after this initiatory period. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beginner weight trainers are often "afflicted" with DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness). This soreness is completely normal and should not prevent one to keep to their weight training schedule. It goes way after a couple days. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who are more extreme, you may need to (if you can) drink vegetable oil. (Non-hydrogenated, of course)If this makes you gag, hyperventilate while holding it in your mouth (very rapid breathing strongly suppresses the gag reflex.) Go and buy some liquid Lecithin (a soybean derived ingredient sold at many health food stores). Mix this with vegetable oil in a proportion of 1 part Lecithin to 10 parts oil by weight. This enhances the digestion and absorption of the oil, allowing you to consume as much as 2000 calories (about one glass) without it "going through" or making you nauseated. Don't drink more than ~2000 calories of oil/lecithin in any 9-hour period. Your digestive system can only absorb fat so fast and any more will either go straight through or make you vomit (in either case, defeating the purpose). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You still need to exercise regularly, as the body will need to adjust to the extra weight, or you will feel tired and out of breath with little or no exertion. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You still need to eat healthy if you want to stay healthy. Too much junk food will make you feel tired and depressed, and take away your energy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="Warnings"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;Warnings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Protein, when used as a source of energy also costs a lot of energy to convert into usable energy.&lt;br /&gt;Avoid salty and greasy foods.&lt;br /&gt;Avoid trans-fats&lt;br /&gt;If you use large amounts of carbohydrate, be careful about your blood sugar.&lt;br /&gt;Be ready for some funny looks, reactions, and possible "interrogation" if you tell people you're trying to gain fat.&lt;br /&gt;Extremely fast weight gain will cause stretch marks and other skin damage. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ffff;"&gt;extract from: wikihow.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/933579862841843246-8324244940098010611?l=mikechaow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/feeds/8324244940098010611/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=933579862841843246&amp;postID=8324244940098010611' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/8324244940098010611'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/8324244940098010611'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-to-gain-weight.html' title='How to Gain Weight'/><author><name>'mike.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11151123028616194099</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/R3m9KjkqDiI/AAAAAAAAAB8/5JwRZ9VvDcc/S220/DSC01936.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933579862841843246.post-4313600913127011026</id><published>2006-10-30T11:15:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-30T11:20:17.137+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food for thought'/><title type='text'>seasons of life</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/7726/113962385600810/1600/seasons%20of%20life.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block;

Sharper than anydouble-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit,joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of theheart. -- Hebrews 4:12 &lt;a href="http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Hebrews+4:12" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Hebrews+4:12&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;THOUGHT: How often do you let God do major surgery on your spirit as hisSpirit uses the Word to encourage, judge, motivate, convict,instruct, and inspire? With such a great tool so readily at handfor most of us, let's not let a day go by that we don't let God usehis word on hearts. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;PRAYER: Almighty God, your will is my heart's desire. But I realize thatI need to be fed more consistently by your Word revealed inScripture. Give me strength and consistency in my walk with youthrough your Word. Through your Spirit, inspire me to change whatneeds to be changed and to be blessed and encouraged in the areasthat I need it most. I turn to you and trust in your Word to pointme in the way of life. I pray in the name of your ultimate Word,Jesus of Nazareth.

Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with a little water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was how I saw it: "As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, Love will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings. Give and don't expect. Advise, but don't order. Ask, but never demand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/933579862841843246-8354147470763480388?l=mikechaow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/feeds/8354147470763480388/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=933579862841843246&amp;postID=8354147470763480388' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/8354147470763480388'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/8354147470763480388'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/2006/10/symbol-of-love.html' title='symbol of love'/><author><name>'mike.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11151123028616194099</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/R3m9KjkqDiI/AAAAAAAAAB8/5JwRZ9VvDcc/S220/DSC01936.JPG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-933579862841843246.post-4870123045687860109</id><published>2006-10-27T13:23:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-10-27T13:36:53.634+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='love'/><title type='text'>i remember...</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/7726/113962385600810/1600/love.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block;

i started using multiply again when i found out that many of my church members are using it. :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;recently i got to know keng fong. i read some of the her blogs in friendster. when i was talking to her more about her blog, she gave me her url for blogspot, and so i checked it out. later on, she said i must start one because she herself is so into blogging now. haha.. so, i try to blog in here and see how it goes.. ;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;i will be back with more updates!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;'mike.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/933579862841843246-2590778866297749126?l=mikechaow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/feeds/2590778866297749126/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=933579862841843246&amp;postID=2590778866297749126' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/2590778866297749126'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/933579862841843246/posts/default/2590778866297749126'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mikechaow.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-i-started-blogging.html' title='how i started blogging'/><author><name>'mike.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11151123028616194099</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_uViCgzcQkl0/R3m9KjkqDiI/AAAAAAAAAB8/5JwRZ9VvDcc/S220/DSC01936.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
