Farm Day

Last Saturday , we went to check out the new rabbit farm plot which Jun's dad rented in Broga , about 15 minutes away from the current farm. The farm is near the current Nottingham University campus in Broga and also the Broga village. It's a large plot enough for a petting area , a cafe and also a place to rear rabbits. The land was a fruit orchard - it has got pineapple plants, a nangka tree , durian trees and also petai tree though I don't see any petai. The land owner is an old uncle who's probably too tired taking care of this land now. The fruit trees are matured so it creates a great canopy of shade.

Now it's time to plan for beautification of the farm! The plot has a slope which has great potential for some outdoor activities although it's all in the planning stage. I'm going there again this coming Sunday to take some pictures of the farm to document the growth of it. Would be fun :)

Got it changed!

OK, I can't stand pink much longer ~ Got it changed. The above was how it looked like before the change.

Once upon a Love Story~

It is Christmas time, and FGA always holds a Christmas presentation as a way to reach out and to spread the Gospel since it's the only time when non-believers are more receptive when invited to come to church. This year , the Youth Church is performing a story about Joseph and Mary , rather than the birth of Jesus per se. Nope, you don't get to see the Baby in the crib. It's the Prequel to the birth of Jesus Christ.

Anyway, after that a pastor delivered a message of Christmas in my church yesterday about Jesus Christ who was born to save us while we are yet sinners. He spoke about how he sent his wife an SMS to wish her on their wedding anniversary , and how he waited and waited but no message came back from his wife. When he got home and asked his wife why she did not reply him with a message, she simply said this "Words no use, I want to see the heart." Reminds me of this verse :

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
(1 John 3:18)

I'm thankful for this particular verse which he shared :

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.(Romans 5:8)

Notice the verse ; the word is "demonstrates" , rather than "demonstrated" which means it's still happening today! God demonstrates His Love to us 2000 years ago by crucifying His own Son, and He is still doing that today because Jesus also died for my sins which I commit 2000 years after his sacrifice. Isn't that beautiful love?

I'm a Pinky!

Too bored with the frosty white and blue ; I've decided to change my blog's color to PINK. Wonder if you would see the pink color. Oh well, it's time to change after a year right? Ok, maybe it's just a little too pinkish??

The worst thing about changing the template must be the fact that it has deleted all my best links and also my links to all my friends' blogs! Now that sucks. How do I find them again??

Daniel Lee - Mimpi (Malaysian Idol single)

Mimpi

Composed and written: Pot Amir

Inginku lukiskan nota-nota
Laguku mengikut rentak gitar
Dengarkan suara mimpiku bertemakan
Namamu senantiasa selalu selalu

Sedalam tinggi, seluas jauh
Begitulah cita-citaku
Sekiranya kau ingin tahu
Selama ini, hingga ke akhirnya
Suka duka senyum selalu
Kita bersama punya satu
Mimpi

Dengarkan suara mimpiku bertemakan
Namamu selalu namamu selalu

Sedalam tinggi, seluas jauh
Begitulah cita-citaku
Sekiranya kau ingin tahu
Selama ini, hingga ke akhirnya
Suka duka senyum selalu
Kita bersama punya satu
Mimpi

Kita bersama punya satu mimpi

Can't help it , I love the song so much I've decided to learn how to sing it. Sing along people!

我知道 世界忽然已改变 Wo zhi dao Shi jie hu ran yi gai bian

流过泪 无所谓 Liu guo lei Wu suo wei
(Having shed tears, It doesn’t matter)
有遗憾 也是美 You yi han Ye shi mei
(Having regret is also a kind of beauty)
算吧 遗憾 无所谓 Suan ba Yi han Wu suo wei
(Let it be, Regret, nevermind)
我的梦 呜~ 没有结尾 Wo de meng hmm… Mei you jie wei
(My dream hmm… Never ends)

勇敢往前飞 梦不枯萎 Yong gan wang qian fei Meng bu ku wei
(Fly ahead bravely, Dream never dies)
梦的巨人 无形的包围 Meng de ju ren Wu xing de bao wei
(The giant of dream is surrounding me invisibly)
不管多累 我要全力追 Bu guan duo lei wo yao quan li zhui
(No matter how tired, I’ll try my best going after my dream)
勇敢往前飞 偶尔苦偶尔也累 Yong gan wang qian fei Ou er ku ou er ye lei
(Fly ahead bravely, Sometimes it’s bitter sometimes it’s tiring)
梦的巨人 无形的渴望 Meng de ju ren Wu xing de ke wang
(The giant of dream, The desire)
给我梦想 给我了力量 飞翔 Gei wo meng xiang Gei le wo li liang fei xiang
(It gives me dream, Gives me strength to fly)

流过泪 无所谓 Liu guo lei Wu suo wei

Daniel Lee , the champion of Malaysian Idol II is out with his latest album of ten songs! I still prefer him singing 'live' but it's OK, the CD doesn't sound too bad. His MIMPI song is in both the Malay and the Mandarin version ; I must say I like the Mandarin version more ever since I haerd it over 988 radio station ! Maybe it's the accent , maybe he just sounded better there even though some people may disagree with me. If you like the Malay version, it would be a joy to listen to because this is a perfect version, unlike the 'live' version where there's some out-of-tune parts during his performance in the Finals.

Dad has been wanting to listen to his songs, and now that I have a copy of it , he'd be delighted to listen to it . Not a bad one, check it out! Oh yeah... they even have an official website. One 11-year old boy actually wrote an email to complain about the rampant piracy of his idol's CD. Poor boy doesn't understand that piracy is one problem which is very difficult to tackle.

Interesting webbie - Person of the Year

Was listening to the radio this morning and heard something very cute indeed : You know it's the end of the year, and you know that around this time, there will be many publications nominating the events of the year and stuffs like that ; and TIME Magazine is no different; they are famous for the "Person of the Year" vote. You know how it is - each year they'd be voting for famous people like Bush(why does he ALWAYS get to be voted in- cos of the destructions he's done??) , Blair, famous heroes and heroines like Mother Teresa or the Pope .. ra ra ra... boring ? Ever wonder why you're never the "Person of the Year" despite endless toils you've made to the world? *Ok, maybe they need someone who impacts the world instead, but thats beside the point right?* Wonder no more....

This year there's a T W I S T because you can put yourself (yes , your beautiful face!) as the front cover of the TIME mag and vote for yourself!!! Want to know more? Check this out : http://impoy.com. Just too bad that I can't add captions to the magazine cover... hehehe...
