Blog Revived!

I was planning on writing a cheezily long introduction for the beginning of a revived blog, with a long accent of "SUSHI...LOVE...RICE!!!..." but I guess it is just not appropriate for the matter.

(If there is any clarification needed on the name of this blog, come let me save you some wild guessing. It's not a hidden message for a romantic accord for someone I like, neither has it got anything to do with me having an extraordinary liking for sushi/rice. SUSHILOVERICE simply means.........nothing :p I got a hold of it because it was so catchy to me. Maybe my businesses would be name after this in the future. "SUSHI LOVE RICE COFFEE" or "SUSHI LOVE RICE BOUTIQUE". OK let's not get carried away)

I am writing in here officially to declare, (to anyone else that still reads this blog and especially to me myself) that SUSHILOVERICE shall not be an "antique vase" in the miserable corner of the huge World Wide Web where only random handful of strangers would mis-stumbled into while google-searching other stuff.

I guess it's the hype of facebook and twitter and which-so-ever new social network sites that has swollen the place of blogs for self-expression and story sharing. The tolerance for words has also decrease generally among web-users than a little longer that 5 lines are unbearable to read let alone be understood.

Well I decided to come back to this blog where the entries used to be:

33 entries in a month?? Are you kidding me?

That's more than one a day =.=

Wonder what was going through that teenage world of mine. haha.

And now, an amount more than 5 is a miracle

It's not that life has been less exciting, as if the number of post shows the degree of happenings in life. No not at all. In fact there is more and more great things to share and write, more provoking thoughts that appears and even unexplainable things that I should write!

Hence! I shall not let my thoughts or things I meditate on go down the drain of forgetfulness or ignorance. Will be writing more often from now and so,

I declare the REVIVAL of SUSHILOVERICE!!! ROAR!!!

oh yea btw, I have braces on now :D

HappY HOLYdays EVERYONE!

2012

I was never a big fan of countdowns on new years or any other occasions. The roller-coaster hype is too much to bear compared to the comfort of a chair, in front of a tele with junk food on hand; or the warm-my feeling of spending it with loved ones and God in church and the after-church food-fellowship. It has always been that way, slow and steady, warm and fuzzy :)

So when I got the job for emcee-ing a new year's countdown, in a 5 hour drive from KL, for quite a fair pay, I was puzzled in my own excitement XD

What is New Year to you?

The crowd were mostly families with children running all around. Maybe New Year's to them was a declaration of holidays and spending time together, nothing much like what I've prepared about resolutions and hope for a better year.

A bridge away from where I was, and probably the same all over the world, younger generation party hard to celebrate the passing of the old and the entering of a new and unknown year. Maybe some hadn't had a great year; some may not know what to make up of it; while some may just be overwhelmed with the past 12 months.

Marcel, had to work through the new years. He said he would have been partying as well with everyone else, but he has a family now. That's her lovely young girl whom joined him right before the countdown.

"It only happens once a year, where the hopeless can be romantic; and a resolution can become a revelation. Its about being able to do more, give more, and hope more."

New Year's Eve, The Movie

I am very satisfied with my past one year. Although there were definitely reasons to be unhappy with, the good sight of it all just overshadowed any reason to moan with. The excitement of my last year in college with an unknown future ahead has been really overwhelming, the wonderful people that keeps on being added into my close circle, the people that I've helped and helped me through the year, the miracles that I've came to know and be apart of (legs growing and blind eyes opening!) and of course that irreplaceable relationship with Him that has grown so much.

Its 2012! A year that is going to be filled with unknowns, a year right after 2011 which had the most natural disaster in history, a year which people made movies to tell of the end of the world;

But its gonna be an awesome year for sure! A year filled with surprises, a year to desire more, to hope and dream bigger than ever before, and a year to love more and forgive even more.

2012 is gonna be the bomb! And I mean it in a good way :)

Happy 2012 Everybody!!!

I Really Love You

By: Brian Johnson

C F C

I really love You, I love You tonight/right now (repeat)

The Sun

Growing up as a normal kid in society, I learnt of values and principals through our parents; through the way education groomed me; but at the same time there were many values that I've picked up through the frictions of life unconsciously. And that brings us to the story today:

It's a Saturday. I got up in the morning and did something very unusual, hand-wash my clothes. I'll be having a performance in two days time and I wanted to wear this self-designed shirt which was left in the laundry. So i got up, took the laundry bucket and ran water with detergent over that T-shirt, along with the other few pieces in the bucket, white first then the blacks.

After rinsing them separately, I hooked them on hangers and went to the balcony where the sun was shining through. That place is usually packed out with clothes from everyone else from the same floor as we share only one balcony for the laundry of all the 40 residence. I shifted some hangers not belonging to me aside to find some space for my clothes to be dried.

As I was hanging my clothes, white first then black, I moved them a number of times hoping to get equal portions of the sun rays on all of my clothes so that they can dry evenly. While shifting them here and turning their angles there, I realized a beautiful truth.

The sun was and will always be there, generously pouring out its heat on all of the damp clothes. I wasn't actually making much sense by trying to help make sure the sun shines evenly. Growing up in the world, we are always thought to strive our best, to get good grades and prove ourselves more worthy. We are thought that we can be rank based on our grades, and we get different treatment and care if we are in the first class compared to the last. When we grow out of school, the society thought us to be out-spoken, and to get success means to out-perform others, then comes the reward and favor.

The sun thought me a valuable lesson. Regardless of the color of the clothes, its dampness, its quality of material or how much I like the one more than the other, all of them when placed under the sun would get the same amount of sun-rays. No more no less. It hit me that God is exactly like that too. There is nothing that we need to do to earned more of His love and glory. There is nothing we should do to try and use what society teaches us to get more of God. His love is like the sun, whether we try hard enough, or just lay restfully on the ground, the sun would inevitably shine gently and generously on everyone. The same intensity, the same warmth, the same love.

'There are many values that we picked up through the frictions of life unconsciously', and these values that we hang on to may not always be true. It may be defiant to some that receiving without earning hard enough is a joke. But hey, what's the definition of receiving in the first place? It may be hard to comprehend that God loves everyone the same, irrespective of our efforts and deeds, the murderers as much as the pastors, but that's how amazing He is. And that's exactly how it was meant to be.

I thank God, that all I have to do to know more of Him; to receive more of His blessings; and to grow more in Him, is just to let His love shine on me. No competition, no hard works, no striving.

Sometimes, we just have to let the Sun shine.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow,

I turn my back against the world,

Ignorance, indulgence, you have no root in me,

Distractions, temptation, be cast into the sea!

Tomorrow,

I shall no longer conform to the world,

Old ways of living, I rebuke you!

Arise and shine! For that is God's divine will.

Tomorrow,

I'll wake up a new person.

I will be strong in the Lord, faithful to men.

High up I shall soar, with the Holy Spirit I will reign!

In Jesus' name, Amen!

Poster

Like!

My senior pastor Ps. David will be preaching in TARC CF the following two Tuesdays on God's love in the old and new testament. This is going to be significant!

Revival!

Roar!

May we all fall more in love with God! For He was radically in love with us before creation!
