Israel & the World.

With the recent attack on the civilian ships near Gaza. Israel sparked off many comments from various leaders around the globe condemning the attack by the commandos. So how will this issue be resolved? I'm not too sure about that. With this severity of an incident, I doubt this case will not be closed off that easily. What may happen? Surely there will be different explanations from various parties. What sort of action that will be taken? I've no idea about that. It may happen that is a result of perhaps war against Israel as stated in the Bible where different nations will ally together to attack Israel. this situation can lead to that stage. What can be done? I know it has to be come to pass but then to me it seem too soon.

What can we do besides getting ourselves updated via the Internet or newspaper. We have to pray that God's grace and mercy will be upon this situation. Really this case need God's intervention as it don't come through my mind on how the commandos would fire upon civilians. It may be an order from the upper level in the army. But who knows? As of now no one has the answer. Prayer does need to be done so that there would not be another "World War" that could be sparked just by this case or scenario.

The Change.

United States of America, from a humble beginning where the nation grew up with struggles. Struggles if being experienced by other nations who may not survive as the outcome. A superpower nation today with its advance technologies, services, liberation, freedom as well as a nation with diverse cultures. Once before that people were God fearing be it as normal citizens or in the senate or perhaps in the high positions. With the dollar note that writes "In God We Trust". Has the nation gives its 100% trust in God? Or has it gave other percentages to gadgets, law suits or just being in its comfort zone?

Almost 9 years ago since the 9/11 incident that struck the States and around the globe. During that period of time people scramble back into churches and rededicate their lives to God. Down the road after a few years, more or less is back to square one altogether again. Perhaps there are drop outs in church. People tend to stay at home and watch the abundance of television series available. Even though they still have the faint remembrance of the fateful 9/11 incident which did changes their lives a little but to maintain that faith "level" was not that long. And with the recent attempt of the car bomb which utterly failed (probably due to the prayer of the Christians) that the disaster did not take place. Did it ring a bell to the people? From news reports it seems that life is back to usual.

With prophecies looming in that a natural disaster may hit and with prayers withholding the natural disaster form happening people should come to realize that God is in control and the everyday reminder probably best being implemented in their currency, "In God We Trust". Is their trust really being placed in God?

It can very well be a good example for everyone. That really we must not take God's grace for granted. A superpower nation that needs to bow down before God and repent. Before God's blessing and covering is being lifted. We need not need a big impending problem or disaster to wake us up from our slumber towards God instead, we need to take our own initiative to go to God. With the uncertainty of the stability of the earth today, time is indeed ticking on. Ticking till Christ returns. Are we ready? Or are we still "asleep"? It's time for a change. U.S. asked for change but all in all they themselves have to change in their trust in God.

Temptation vs Corruption.

Guess this post will be my first in talking about issues happening around us. For the start, I'll talk about corruption. This action can be considered happening perhaps every minute or hour throughout the day, in the whole nation. Be it in politics or with the law enforcement officers and so on. Malaysia so far for the past few years has been talking to eradicate or to cut down on corruption. Even though with campaigns being launched here and there as well as some arrests of some people. Personally, I don't seem to see much change. Slogans and campaigns that was set up and efforts to curb that is all down into the drain. Easily overrun by these two aspects which is greed and mindset.

To curb corruption is not only the government's job but it is also the citizen's job as well. If the citizens of Malaysia do not put in the effort to even cooperate with the government, whatever government that are being elected for 100% guarantee that the issue will never be solved. Mindset, people nowadays want the easy way out and do not want to have any troubles even though they know very very very well that whatever they are doing is wrong. Let's take the simple case of traffic summons. A speed trap, driver being caught speeding and stopped by police during a roadblock. Police officer asks what can be done driver just offers a sum of money and is being let off the hook. So who's at fault here? Most would say the traffic police who usually hints in wanting cash.

The main problem is that people do not want to acknowledge themselves at the fault which turns out to be the driver in that case. If the driver does not offer the cash to the police and if all drivers being caught for speeding or whatever law they broke they just take the summon as it is to me corruption for that will gradually go down. Is just like to eliminate the population of rats in the house is to block out all food available to the rats and their number will dwindle. If traffic offenders keep bribing the police how do you think that the police will stop asking for money?

Be it in normal traffic summons or politics it's the same thing altogether if the people just stop giving money just to get out of trouble. Which in other terms show they are "cowards" and do not want to face the punishment of breaking the law when they had the guts to break it in the first place.

Greed is also another issue which can eventually lead to continuous corruption. In the society today for sure majority feels that they have not enough. Mostly due to being materialistic. Without greed and the carnal nature of wanting more be it cash or some other material things, corruption can also be cut down. Money politics will soon come to an end. All in all it comes to the people in this nation who are willing to stand up to their moral values be it in whatever society or class they are at as long as they have a firm foundation in morality temptation will not come in so easily. The decision is the rakyat to choose. Are we going to stop corrupting each other for a better future?

Back.

Guess this blog has been piled up in a big pile of dust. So it's time for yet another spring cleaning I'd say. But at the same time I think either content wise or just the lack of "publicity" that somehow this blog is pretty quiet since the chat-box is just there for like less than a handful of people to chat. Hmm... Anyway, for the pass four months since the start of January I've been busy with my industrial training also known as internship. During that time I wouldn't be at home as I will be in other people's house to overnight. Interesting experience I'd say. manage to go overseas during my internship which is a rare opportunity that other wouldn't have.

Last week to go then I will be having my break till end of May. Wonder what to do during the period of break. I wonder... Anyhow it would be quite tough to restart back to university engine and get back to the mode of studies since it's going to be like five months ago since i last studied and go for classes. Hopefully it won't be a tough one to handle.

Assignments and tutorials awaits. Not leaving back to service in church where the full swing starts again after a few months of absence although certain times i pop by. Blogger's blogging mind block for now. Will update when new ideas or topic comes running in. Maybe more updates when I finish my internship which I extended due to unfinished project. Perhaps some sensitive topics to blog I guess which I hope i won't get caught for it, depends on how serious is the content also lah... *Shrugs*

Internship So Far.

It's has been almost a whole month since I started my internship cum industrial training. So far so good I'd say. Currently I'm blogging from my office so just hope that no one comes back or else I'm dead. Anyway, internship so far was not bad except most memorable factor is that the video clip I was working on, the computer hard disk where all the data I stalled in crashed and after various people coming to fix it where unable to fix it. Eventually got to buy a new hard disk and start all over again. There goes two weeks work into the bin. Anyhow as I redo the video clip again, the memories of what stuff need to be edited are still quite clear in my head. I mean brain, so this time it took me less than a week to finish up what I did for the previous two weeks which was cool. Thank God for that. Well, I do learn an important lesson which is to back up the files everytime I finish my work at the end of the day. I'm pretty glad that I'm working in a Christian company which gives me the chance to visit other churches as well. Since I know how to play the drums I sort of became the drummer for the band whenever the team are out ministering in other churches.

Besides that, I'm able to travel to overseas as well since end of February there's a church in Medan, Indonesia that invited the team to minister at their church. While beginning of April will be in Singapore for four days and going to five different churches when we are there. Pretty interesting I'd say. I don't think that many of my classmates who are doing their internship elsewhere will be able to travel overseas. Indeed God is faithful. Though at times I do miss my own church Charis Christian Centre and youth group as well as the activities like futsal and so on. Though I can only do it occasionally as before. Now left about three more months till I restart back university life again which I think will be much of a challenging one since I'm now already in my final year.

Talking about final year, I can't even imagine myself graduating soon. All I could think of when I was in secondary school is to just finish SPM and that's about it. Future plans like going to college or university just couldn't register in my head. And now finishing university is like a dream. Well, sort of like a dream cause I didn't picture myself that far of an accomplishment. After university comes working, a career, or a fixed job that I'll do probably the rest of my life that I doubt so I'll be that "loyal" or something. Hmm..... Many things lined up ahead, just got to wait for time to come and pass through those things with God's help of course. All I can do now is hope and pray for the best till my internship ends and then a short break before the final two semesters approaches. Cheers =)
