When the Rain Comes, Will Sunshine Trails Behind Too?

A child holds an umbrella under the heavy rain looking towards the long road he has traveled to find his father in the farm. His father was no where seen, but he knows his father is around. All he has to do is to continue walking, and maybe he will find his father somewhere down the road working to shoo the cattle into their shed. The heavy rain makes the road muddy and difficult to tread, and yes, there seems to be lightning and thunder too. There is fear in the child's eyes, there is a heart pumping way too fast. Tears stream down his tiny cheek onto his already soaked shirt. And then comes his father, running in the rain for his little child. He picks the child up and gives him a warm embrace. And the child feels safe and comforted once again.

2010 FIFA World Cup Finals

This is the first time I'm blogging using Opera Mini browser on my E71. Seems pretty interesting. For once in history, I'm actually interested in watching the FIFA finals, but many of my friends are opting out because it's a school/work day and yes, their teams had lost earlier on. Haha. As for me, I started off late... Took me the match between Germany and Argentina to finally find meaning of '22 men running around the field chasing a tiny ball of black and white'. It was worthwhile to understand the whole emotion-filled situations one sees during the whole 90 odd minutes of one's time.

Hopefully a friend of mine will join me in watching the match in McD later. It kinda scares me to go there alone. Haha. I probably will pretend I'm buying late night supper if there are a large crowd later..

I gotta sleep now.. I hope you also will enjoy the finals of 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa! It's definitely a once in a lifetime experience!

Regain Connectivity

I haven't written a single post which is counted significant since ages ago. Apologies to my blog readers. There are many good things happening in my life, mainly of work and ministry. And yeah, no progress on human relationship though. Being single is something worth celebrating definitely. Many are called to vocation as married couples, as for myself, it is yet to be revealed. And I'm glad I'm taking time to be single. Haha.

I got myself a new baby middle last month - a smart phone, Nokia E71. And yes, I love it to bits! Especially its wifi and 3G function which enables me to go online whenever I want to, provided there's wireless access point! I have yet to explore the means of blogging online. Not forgetting its QWERTY keypad. Although it's not a touch screen phone, I'm totally at ease with it. I'm not exactly a touch-screen phone person, so I'm alright with it. However, due to the fact that I spent a sum of my money on this new baby, I have no choice but to postpone my plan of getting another laptop to aid my ailing a-gong laptop which has been my faithful companion for the past 8 years.

Something happened end of last month which cost me the old modem, and my LAN on the laptop. So I bought a new modem today. Haha. I have to "ikat perut" this month, because of the sudden death of the modem. And I have yet to solve some of my laptop's issues... Including the password-encrypted network which my network card doesn't seem to be able to connect to. Hopefully next week there will be some divine intervention.

I shall update more soon. I want to wake up at 2 plus for FIFA Finals later. Haha. To think that I actually watch football? I never thought I would, but I AM! Maybe I should watch "The Blindside" by Sandra Bullock during dinner, and then sleep early about 8pm. Hopefully my weird housemate is not parking his car behind mine, if not I shall knock his door until he gets pissed off with me. Haha. It's as though he isn't already pissed with me. I'm constantly testing his patience, as if he doesn't test mine! Sigh! If only I have a higher salary which entitles me to get my own tiny place to stay!!!

Matt Maher: Adoration

This weekend is the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ. It is also the start of the 40-hour adoration in Sacred Heart Cathedral, Kota Kinabalu. All faithful are encouraged to spend time in the Blessed Sacrament with our Lord Jesus who is truly and really present in the Eucharist. He, indeed, is the Lord of all.

All glory and honour and praise to the King of kings, Priest of priests, and the Saviour of all.

Josh Wilson: Before the Morning

Do you wonder why you have to

Feel the things that hurt you?

If there's a God who loves you, where is He now?

Maybe there are things you can't see

And all those things are happening

To bring a better ending

Someday somehow you'll see, you'll see

Chorus:

Would you dare, would you dare, to believe?

That you still have a reason to sing

'Cause the pain that you've been feeling

It can't compare to the joy that's coming

So hold on, you gotta wait for the light

Press on, and just fight the good fight

Cause the pain that you've been feeling

It's just the dark before the morning

My friend, you know how this all ends

You know where you're going

You just don't know how you'll get there

So say a prayer

And hold on, 'cause there's good for those who love God

But life is not a snapshot

It might take a little time but you'll see the bigger picture

Once you feel the weight of glory

All your pain will fade to memory

It's just the hurt before the healing

Oh the pain that you've been feeling

It's just the dark before the morning

Finally, END of the 5-day Break

The whole of Sabah is celebrating Kaamatan Festival (Harvest Festival) on 30th and 31st May annually. This year Wesak Day fell on a Friday, while Kaamatan started on a Sunday, hence an additional day on Tuesday. It's a super long break - all the way from Friday to Tuesday. I never really planned what to do, hence the BOREDOM set in by Sunday. This is indeed the worst break I've ever had since I started working so far. Like I said, I should have planned ahead of time. But I can't cry over spilled milk, can I?

Phew. Finally my friends are here. I've been anticipating the meet up with them since like forever!!~~~ Haha. We're in Upper Star Lintas, the latest hang out place for lovely food here.
