MERDEKA MERDEKA MERDEKA!!!

So our beloved country, Malaysia, turns 52 tomorrow with the government bringing in the 1Malaysia concept. Do we really need this? All of us has grown up in a multi-racial environment and why are racial tensions still there? Is it the influences from school, public, government or family that causes this? So with all the diversity on the outside but the racial tensions on the inside, does the slogan 'Malaysia, Truely Asia' fits? Just a little thought as we celebrate another year of independence.

On a lighter note, being out of the country gave me the opportunity of what people think about us. You'll only know if we're good or bad when others comment on us. Just a few of it below. This are real comments and not something that I've made up to make us look good.

1. 'Malaysians are really neat and tidy in their dressings' - HOD of the physio department

2. 'I really admire the hygine and cleanliness of Malaysians' - a patient (wait till he goes to the streets of Chee Cheong Kai,lol)

3. 'Malaysian food is really really awesome!!!'- a local student who has been to Malaysia

4. 'Malaysians are really friendly and polite'- from patients and local people

There was alo this few local students whom I think will win the best comment so far. So my friends and I were chatting over a meal together with them. The conversation follows below:

Me: 'Speaking in english with one of the others'

Local dude: Hey, why don't you all speak to each other in your language?

Me: Local language? What local language?

Local dude: Yeah man, like Malaysian language.

Me: LOL!!!

Yeap...after awhile I finally realised what he meant was Bahasa Malaysia as the 'Malaysian language'. So I had to explain to him that BM was only our official language on paper and we speak any other languages with each other. Another thing is the locals really do think I'm from either China or Tibet. Really have to explain to them that I'm a Malaysian-Chinese and a pure Malaysian, nothing to do with China.

To just a few that I've experienced here, on the outside people do see us as one. So are we like this on the inside also? Blessed Merdeka all!!!

INTO THE FUTURE

Arloe arloe!!! So another week has just gone by, loads of drama going on recently. Oh well, it just adds to the fun =). So our final cas presentations has already started and everyone is on call, not knowing when is their time to present. Damn...how I wish mine would come faster, so I can like not think about it anymore...hehe.

Hrmmm...loads has been going on recently, work wise and on the personal aspect. Developments has been going on and its really exciting but as the same time scary and confusing, So once again everything is commited to God who is the only one who knows what the future brings. Once I'm back in Malaysia then there will be another few more months and I'm done with my diploma, time to think about what's next. So that's the work side. On the personal side, that's another matter to say next time...hehe. Ahhh...the great unknown future...exciting isn't it? =)

I know my future's in Your hand,
All of my hopes and dreams and plans
You give me strength to live,
And faith to succeed
I believe in You,
Because You believe in me.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105

PS...going for buffet lunch in awhile, thanks Uncle Lim!!!...woohoo!!! =)

I'M 22!!! =S

So here I stand at the treshhold of another year older. So much has happend the pass 2 years till now and still so much has been happening. Felt like I've been pulled out from my comfort zone into some kind of wilderness and left there for me to search out the answers and a way out. Those were much trobled times and much pain searching for answers, but what I know is there's someone there with me, walking me through it and towards that light at the end of the tunnel. So as I grow older this year, the one main thought I will take with me from what I've learned speaks out from this song.

VOICE OF TRUTH by CASTING CROWNS

Oh,what I would do to have the kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is,
And he's holding out his hand

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me time and time again
"Boy, you'll never win, you'll never win."

But the Voice of truth tells me a different story
the Voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the Voice of truth says "this is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth

Oh, what I would do to have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant with just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me time and time again
"Boy you'll never win, you'll never win."

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
the Voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
and the Voice of truth says "this is for My glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth

But the stone was just the right size to put the giant on the ground
and the waves they don't seem so high from on top of them looking down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
when I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
singing over me
