Tired~~~

Leicester Choir

I was just came back from Leicester...The status of my body now is just left 20% energy and I think after I wrote this blog, its 10% left...

Starting from this morning, Leicester Church is now having a Spiritual and Evangelistic Convocation/Meeting for 3 days onward...For sure, I attended it today, actually I had been to Leicester yesterday to attend the sabbath service and the fellowship which were leaded by Elder. Ho from Taiwan, and he will be there for the convocation...After the fellowship, I stayed back at Bro.Kwok house with a Taiwan truthseeker, John Lin. For me, I just stayed a night there because Monday I have class at 9am, but, John will stay there 2 night, means that now he is at Bro.Kwok house...Haha..Its very difficult to the members from Taiwan and China because they dont understand Cantonese and for most of the UK churches are using Cantonese as their main language, so sometimes, they dont know what the Decon or Preacher said...Normally at Leicester Church, they just use Cantonese and English....

Today morning, I woke out about 9am, then I cleaned up myself, waiting for Bro.Kwok prepare to go to church because we had to follow him to church...When I reached the church, quite many people there and Dn.Luke was having a sermon...Then, the programmes went on until 740pm...During the speakers giving sermon, I was very tired, dont know why I felt so tired, maybe I had a long time dint attend any spiritual meeting...For sermon sessions, it just have 7 hours only in a day, same like Malaysia, but why I will feel so tired and cant concentrate at the sermon?

After the lunch, there was Leicester Choir presentation, quite good especially the last hymn they sang, Hymn 198...I had touched by that hymn...Ermm, I hope I can join their choir, but normally the choir practise is on Sunday and I just go to Leicester on Saturday, means that if I want to join them, I have to go to Leicester the next day or stay at a church member house...In UK, we cant stay at church, because church is a public place or a religion assembly place, so if there are people stay at the church, the church has to pay land tax...Thats why I cant join them...Hoping here is Malaysia...haha...Miss the Kajang Choir la...

After having dinner, I rushed to the railway station to go back to Birmingham, fortunately, I got it in time, however...Haiz...there was no train anymore, but I thought that still have it, actually the ticket I bought from the counter is a coach ticket...Walao, I had waited at the railway platform for a few minutes until I missed the coach...ZzzZ...The next coach was after an hour, so I had to wait for an hour...During the hour, I was blaming God that why I still met this kind of situation? Because of I attended the spiritual meeting, I went back late...I was also thinking that next time, if there is a convocation like this, should I attend again? Is it worth? These thinkings just appeared in my mind in sudden, but I tried to stop thinking of it...Pray in heart, asking God to stop these thinkings...Its worth, because I had learned a lot of things about the truth and the words of God...The wisdom from God is better than the wisdom from world....

After an hour, the coach came and I aboarded it...Inside the coach, there was a toilet there, very good facilities right? The journey from Leicester-Nuneaton-Birmingham, took me about 1hour and 40minutes...I was very tired that time and I was worrying whether there are still buses to my hostel...Thanks God, still have it...

We have to thank God for everything...Because of his guidance, I am here, come back safety and healthy...When we are in trouble, we have to think about God, and also when we are in normal situation....Today sermons are mostly talking about human need to listen to the words of God so that they will not be hungry, for members, we have to keep our faith and our heart, because our heart are the Temple of God, keep it firmly and dont let it fall down...Please refer to 1 Kings Chap. 6 and 7.....These 2 chapters are the things I learned the most....

Recent Life @ Birmingham~~~

Last week, I went to Birmingham City Centre alone to go around the city and "shun bian" bought bus ticket for a year...In the city centre, sure, got a lot of people there, but the most crowded is at a coffee shop (dont know what its name), as a human being, I sure went near the shop and had a look...Rupa-rupanya, there was a book author was having a sign-book activity, and many people were quiet up there to let her (I think) to sign on their book...Now only I remembered that many book author like to have these kind of activity at book store or coffee houses, but I never saw this activity held at coffee shop in Malaysia...Maybe had, but I never see it before...In Malaysia, normally the book authors will have this activity in book store such as Popular, Bolder and etc...They wont go to coffee shop which also called "Kopitiam" to have it...

After that, I went to Chinatown to look for corn flour and tom-yam paste...I like tom-yam very much but...because of the price, I gave up to buy it...I bought sesame oil and dark soya sauce at the chinatown...After I paid these things, I asked the shopkeeper that whether they had "yellow noodle" or "oily noodles", then they showed me the way, I was regret to see it because it really very expansive than I thought...1 small pack cost nearly about 2 pounds...Walaoooooo.....then nearby, I saw meatball and fishballs, lagi mahal...(-.-)'''

I walked out the shop and went around the place to have a look like that...Another "shun bian", I looked at the job advertisement..They are listed in Mandarin, for sure, cause it is at Chinatown what...Most of the job are waiters, kitchen helpers and even got babysister...Last time, I saw an advertisement, a woman or girl wanted to find a man who suit to her requirement to be her husband or boyfriend...when I saw it, the only thing I can say is...GENG!!! So open-minded society...

Then, I went to indoor market where is near the chinatown, inside the indoor market, got many stalls selling different things such as meat, fishes, veges and etc...Therefore, I just walked around the market to see the prices of their things so that I can compare it with the supermarket...If cheaper than the supermarket, I will buy it from here next time because all the meat nad fishes there are fresh...I dint buy anything from there...haha...

Then, I went to CD shop to help Wei Lun to find his idol CD, Westlife, but sorry dude, I cant find it, dont know why...Then I went back to my hostel...Quite boring ler, this blog....Nothing to write but have to write somethings, so that my friend wont complain that I am inactive my blog...Haha...Just kidding ba...

PS: Wanna move out from my hostel because all my friends stay outside except me...but no housemates to share a house...haiz...just waiting the time to come...haha...

Duty~~~Footprints~~~

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ5IlwWu5fs

I will keep my promise, do my duty....

This is not the song played in this flash but is another song that I learned at my church....very touching....this clip make me felt that I am so sinful, I dint preach gospel to other people and ask them to come to church...I also think that can I stand firmly until the God come....this is very good clip....

There are somemore flash video which are same people made this clip...www.honghaeng.net

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=X3JS6mer34A

This clip is call "Footprint"..It make me think a song sound like this:

《海边的脚印》

以为一生都是独自走过，却不知主就在身边

以为一生都是孤单寂寞，却不知主随时帮助

主啊，求你带领我的一生，像那海边的脚印

哦，主啊，求你带领我的一生，像那海边的脚印

This footprint has its story:

One day, a man walked at a beach. At first, Jesus was walking with him, therefore, there are two persons' footprints at the beach. After a while, when the man looked back, he just saw a person footprints behind him, therefore he asked Jesus, "Why you leave me alone and let me walking alone?" Then Jesus answered him, "Look downward...", so the man did so. Then the man realised that Jesus was carrying him along the way, the footprints behind him were not his footprints, but was Jesus...

This story tell me that, Jesus is always abide with us, He wont leave us alone and He will guide us until the end...When we meet problems, He will help us and when we fall down, He will support us with His hand....Thanks God, I had experienced it all....

Life @ Birmingham~~~

An Old Church in the Birmingham City Centre

My Campus (TIC)

My class had started yesterday and I was very tired every time I came back from my campus...This is because my campus is far from my hostel, I need to take bus to there about 10 minutes (if fast) and need to walk about 10 minutes then only reach my campus...Its quite tired and freezing you know...But during the lecuture, I was not feeling tired, just sleepy (just now), because I had to concentrate on what the lecture taught since I am still not very used to listen to Britist accent...However, now what they taught me are what I had learned in NIUC (my previous college) such as Macauley equations and the most subject I hated, Themodynamics...haiz...boh huat, have to study also de la..hehe....

Birmingham City Centre

Last two weeks, I went to my campus to do my enrolment, but hor...when I wanted to find out my Nilai transcript, I realised that I forgot to bring it and I left it at my Malaysia house...Then I started to pray in heart, hope that the officer can let me study at this campus...When it was my turn to enrol, I just told them the truth that I forgot to bring it...Fortunately, the officer, Simon, told me no need to worry first and then he will help me to see whether he can help me or not...Then I waited him to finish the other enrolments, and he went into an office to check whether they got the copy of my transcript...Unfortunately, after a few minutes, he told me that he needed to see the original transcript, maybe because the transcript they had is not completed...But still he let me enrol first, just halfly enrol me....Then I paid all the tuition fees and they gave me my pass and student ID and etc....When I went back to my hostel, I phoned back to my house asking my brother went to my room to check that my transcript is in my room or not...Firstly, my younger brother checked it and he said no, then my third brother check, he said yes, then I quickly asked my 2nd brother's girlfriend went to nearest CC to online so that I can send th address here to her....haiz...Thanks God, my transcript was here now....

Train to Leicester

Last weekend, I went to Leicester Church by train with a brother....Ermm....the train here is very high class and faster than KTM...Its also come on-time and leave on-time...The journey to LEicester took us 1 hour, in the train, I found out that there is toilet and the toilet can also be used by handicap or oldman who have disability...Actually, the people here is very good to the people who have disability...Everywhere in UK, you can see a special door which is for them and there is many road that can be used by them....

Street Actors

Just now, when I wanted to cross the road, the driver let me to cross first eventhough it is green light...But in Malaysia, you will only see that in small town but not in big city...haha....

Thats all for today....PS: Selamat Hari Raya to my Malay friends....Dont know how many of them are my friends...haha...Happy Holiday to my friends...haha....

Now, 7.05pm, I am at Flat 1, Room 2, Rowan House, The Coppice, Hall Residence of BCU, Perry Bar, Birmingham, just after looking at my friend, Jason Wong's (usually I call him "wo-wo" means doggy) blog, I had some strong feeling that reminding me back the time I was in Nilai International University College. The time there, now only I realised that, I took quite less photo which my classmates or friends there. However, the memories are still in my mind...Something is very good and happy, but something which make me very sad...

While looking at his blog, I was looking for my name in his blog and wanted to see what things that he will describe me...Actually I shouldn't so care about his description about me, but...This is because he was my very good friend from Sem 1 to Sem 3 or Sem 4, after that, he was slowly changed his attitude...Slowly he left us and join other groups...At that time, I haven't realise that he started to leave us and change his attitude toward us...Because, I was believe in him...After 1 day, my friends told me that he had changed, he was a person that using friends as one of his tool (finally he admitted it in his blog)...However, I was very naive that time, I still keep on advising him that although you have new friends, you shouldn't neglect your old friends, but I think that time, he was not listen to me (who I am, I just a tool for him)...

After the day I know about him, the time in NIUC was very painful and very difficult to go through....Thinking too much become my disease...I felt that every friends that I believe in, betray me, left me alone there, try to isolate me from them...But in front of me, they acted like very closed to me...I was very sad that time but who gonna come and understand me....No one....However, now the pain is cured but they let me learn 1 thing, that is, believe in yourself more than your friends...Thinking of yourself before thinking of friends...

During my last semester at NIUC, I had learned to become a "don't care" of everything about my friends there...What they had done to me, I don't care...They isolated me, I also don't care...Now I am at UK, trying to start new life here...

Although there was many thing making me very unhappy during my college life, there was still have something that made me very happy, that is I had drived car from my hometown to Nilai, with it, I can join most of the ativities that organised by my church...This made me closed to Kajang Church youths...They don't have intention to be my friend...Thanks God...God wouldn't betray us but just we will betray God...

Anyway, if you are one of my ex-college friends, I am sorry to write this feeling down, but this is what Namewee (the author of "Negarakuku") said, "tetapi ini ialah aku punya betul feeling"...However, now I don't angry with you all already, because you all had taught me a lot og things, good thing or bad things also, it will be 1 of my good memories....

1st day in Birmingham

I have nothing to say about the first week here at Birmingham because I just attend a few activities which arranged by the staff for international students. However I will try to write as many as possible. When I reached Birmingham Airport, actually I was very scare because I saw other students who passed the immigration officer will showed out their letter and I thought it was unconditional letter. Because of I dint have the unconditional letter, so I started to pray in heart, asking God to guide me. Finally its my turn, I showed him my passport and he asked me to show out my letter, so I told him that I just got conditional letter, surprisingly, he said that was what he wanted to see. Thanks God...After that, I went to take my luggages and went out the airport.

After a few minutes I walked out, a black skin girl came to talk to me, asking me whether I am student of BCU(my university name) while showing me a board written 2 names. So I answered her that I am but not one of the name on the board, and explaining that I had missed the Meet & Greet session. However, the girl said if I would like to wait for a few hours, then they will come back again to meet me. That time, I thought its too long for me, so I decided to take taxi to my hostel. Walao, the taxi took me 27 pounds, equal to RM140++...haiz...Boh huat la...haha...

When I reached my hostel, I did not know how to collect my room key so I asked a family where can I collect my key, and fortunately, the family was very friendly to me, they told me how to go but I told them that its looked very far away from my hostel. Suddenly, the daughter said she will ask her father to bring me there by car and they will look after my luggages until I came back from accommodation office. After collected, the father sent me back to my hostel and I said thank to them and they went back. I thought, this must be God who guide me, make my way going smoothly...When I am in my room, I unpacked my luggages and started looking around my flat whether there is some facilities that I can use. When I wanted to online, unfortunately, I cant online because of I dint know how to set some option...Haiz...Until tuesday night, I asked my new friend helping me to do so...

After unpacking, I went to nearest supermarket to see what things are sold there...There are quite many people there buying the perishable things, then I reminded back that my agent told me, when the supermarket wanted to close, all the things will be cheaper...No wonder there are many people buying food...After that, I called Bro.Yun Nor who staying near to my hostel to let him knew that I am here already and he told me that he will come to meet me next day to bring me go around the city like that...I was very happy that time because I am not alone here, except from God who always with me...

That night, I slept very very early, that is 7pm the time here...Perhaps is the jet lag so I slept until 4am the time here...I have nothing to do that time, so just watching some movies that I had been watched last time. Until 10am, I called Bro.Yun Nor and he said that he will come in 5 minutes, so I waited him to come...When I went in his car, he said he will bring me to warehouse to buy something, after that, he will bring me to Leicester Church...After that, I bought all the stuff that I need or he recommend me to need it. The stuff there are very cheap, 1 rice cooker is just 4.50 pounds, equal to RM27 like that...Then we went to another chinese warehouse, at there I bought some instant noodles and something chinese seasoning thing like soy sauces and oyster oil (direct translate from mandarin)....Then, we went to Leicester Church...

Leicester church is very old and big church...Inside the church is quite old but very tidy...It is as same as the old church in the movie...After service, Bro.Yun Nor said that this church actually 100 years old, and our church members bought it to become our TJC church...Then, my mouth was like an octopus..^0^...haha..Then they had tea time for all the members and some cookies to serve us...From that day I know that, the service time of UK are totally different from Malaysia...There is 2 services continuely on Saturday, and also same to Sunday...Saturday, is 1pm to 230pm like that, and 245pm to 4pm...for Sunday, 1pm to 2pm and 215pm to 3pm like that...haha...for their holy communion, they dont have it every month just like Malaysia but they have it once in the time. I dont have any comment to it because this is UK church system...

After that, Bro.Yun Nor brought me to a chinese restaurant to have our dinner, then I felt paiseh was he paid for this dinner...Thanks you, Yun Nor...Then he invited me to stay at his house for a night so that I can call back to my mother through internet and I can online too...So I put all my stuff at my room and Bro.Yun Nor also helping me to arrange my stuff...Haha...very nice la him..

Then I stayed overnight at his house and then it is the next day...

Birmingham Journey~~~

Finally, I can online and log in MSN to see who is online now, but seen now I am at Birmingham so the time between Malaysia and here are different. So all my Malaysia friends sedang tidur...ZZZ...haha...And I saw Shin Jou left me a messages saying that I am inactive my blog, but my reason is I had no time to update because I need to settle my preparation to UK, and until now, only I had time to write this blog.

On my birthday, 12th Sept, last friday, my 2nd brother fetched me from Padang Serai to KLIA, sure every1 will ask why you dint take flight from Penang to KLIA, the reason why I asked my brother to fetch to KLIA by car because, from Penang to KLIA, the flight allow me to bring no more than 20kg bags, while from KLIA to Birmingham, they allow me to bring not more than 30kg, so that means if I flied from Penang to KLIA, I can just take 20kg luggage to Birmingham. Its quite less you know.

The time we reached KLIA was just about 7pm, its too early for my flight because my flight is at 1255am midnight. This is because my brother wanted to go back earlier so he need to go to KLIA more earlier. And then, my mother and younger brother take photo with me, after an hour, my 2nd brother wanted to go, so I just said goodbye to them lor...Haiz, do you think I am crying when I said this word, actually I got a bit nia, really a bit because I saw my mother tearing lor...

Just after they leaving, a "babi hutan" come to find me and accompany me until I departed my

midnight flight, so do Ah Ngi and Han Pei, felt so happy they can come to send me...

After 7 hours flight, I reached to Dubai, at there, got many duty free things but I dint buy it because eventhough it is duty free, but its still very expansive. At there, I need to wait the flight to Birmingham for a few hours, so I just hanging around there, eat some food. I dont bear to sleep because I scare my bags will be stolen by people. At Dubai, I also lost my Mooncake given by Babi Hutan at the toilet...Haha...Paiseh...I forgot to bring it out of toilet after I used it...haiz...

Flight to Birmingham had delayed 1 hour and then to Birmingham. When I reached Birmingham, there is a lot of people queue up at the counters to let the Kastam people stamp approved my passport. Then take my luggages from the collection counter. Once I out of the airport, I felt like go into a air-cond room. So 1st thing I think is its a totally different from Malaysia weather.

Today, I just finished my 1st day orientation and met some Chinese girls from China and Malaysia too. I can online now because of the Malaysian girl help me to set up something, so thank to her. Dont think too much har....Sure you all will say so hiao or what de...Suan liao...haha...
