Good day! I'm all smiles as I read back my very first testimony. Back then, I was like what's testimony? I knew about God's ninth commandment - "Do not give false testimonies". It means don't lie, but never thought twice about the word 'testimony' alone. My senior explained to me briefly that it was about writing down my personal experience with God, of how God had spoken to me. I was afraid, knowing I was assigned to share my testimonies to my fellow friends in christian fellowship. I spend a huge amount of time, correcting my passage, praying constantly that it'll be good. I handed in my testimony to my president and what's real unexpected was she actually praise that it was so good. And everyone else in the group was snatching to get a peek at it. I kept beaming and my confidence level just shoot the sky. Well, the thing about christian testimonies, it's not like essays, you don't have to try and capture a human heart by your words, God's action just blew them all. Even when your testimonies seems to be a cliche, it's still all the more amazing as a set of reminder. So here it is:
The first time I heard about Meta Camp, it was a 'no' for me. Finding for excuses trying to reject this offer. But then, thinking of all the double chores I have to do, I changed my mind and said 'YES'! Spending my holidays with God might be a good idea! I'm always very antisocial and as a normal Christian, I attend church every Sunday, join bible study and maybe some activities from youth. I only serve God when my church members told me to do so. God's love and grace for me was just that level. After listening to Pastor Rudy's experience on healing  people from demon-possessed, raising the death & etc by the power of God. It really opens up my eyes and I want to see more of God's miracle. Serve God willingly, be in God's level, not asking God to lower down Himself to our level. In our lives, we'll often be involve in fights and arguments. Get really furious and angry with someone, and the anger inside of us make us hate them. But we should forgive and forget, reborn and repent. Whenever we heard the word 'REPENT', we often think it as a bad thing and feel sorry for ourselves. But no, the bible called it the good news and that we should be happy that we repented. We must also promise ourselves that we'll never turn back to our old sins. Although it may be hard to forgive someone you really hate, and satan would be pulling you backwards. Pray to God, do your part and leave the rest into God's hand.
'For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.' Mark 10 : 45 
So let us learn how to serve, and in our lives enthrone Him. Each other needs to prefer for it is Christ we're serving. 
Of course, testimonies don't just come in the form of written passage. It comes through pictures, music or even how you live. But don't keep it to yourself, God wants you to share it. May His name continue to be lifted up and be glorified!

I never pretty much explored or lived life as a real girl. The maximum length of hair I kept was barely around my shoulders. I cut it every single time because I was annoyed, it never been similar to a shampoo advertising model. Or perhaps I didn't know how to take care of it, never knew how to tight even the simplest pattern of plaits. Too lazy to wake up early in the morning to comb it. My nails are virgin, couldn't figure out how to paint it. It never was that striking pink, or crimson red, calm blue nahhh. I never had one, my toenails are always well protected under my canvas or covered flats. It got no reason to be shown, not like anyone would pay attention to. Latest fashions or trends? I'm a loser. Outdated and unattractive. Never knew how to mix and match, putting different pieces of clothes together into an elegant outfit. Never wore high heels because I'm afraid of losing my balance, shy of all the sound it made walking on hard grounds. That ...

So, it's been 8 months of disappearance. To be honest, there is no solid reasons why I had been away. All I can say is I had been busy. Yes, busy busy busy. And sometimes, I couldn't figure out what I'm actually doing all the time, what steals my precious time away? With a blink of an eye, an hour just passed and all that I could remember is I had been doing nothing. But I do sensed that I'd been carried away and spending more that necessary time on the social networks and aah, editing photos. Urgh, the whole point is, I stopped blogging. After a few times of pushing me to write more, my friends just stopped doing so, it all dies down. Perhaps they didn't want to annoy me, or there are more articles out there which is more worth reading and maybe, they just gave up waiting for me. With the silence, I forgotten there is still one person, who is still so persistent, very determined on having me on the writings again. He is the main ...

The memory of my first experience in the Orang Asli Mission still shines vividly in my mind. It was a few days before Christmas, in 2009, the year before last year. The journey was exhilarating as everyone was in high spirits. I  remembered we was going crazy with Jason Mraz's hitz, getting amused by a passing rainbow and recording a video of us singing in the car.  Stepping down as we reached our destination, I knew I was in a different corner of this universe, to a land more impoverished than mine. I stunned when a few OA children waved and spoke to me, I couldn't able to respond properly as I hastily surfed through my brain for a BM translation to my English words. Soon, they all ran away probably thinking I'm unfriendly, disappointment swelled within me. I could not gave much help due to the same problem. But yet, a great motivation struck me - the best serving is showing love, and that's where I ...
