More than Blessed.



It's really a great honour to study in my school - SMK Batu Lapan. We always felt that our school is the last school that we would ever study. Why? We had unappetizing and limited choice of food in the canteen, problematic teachers/headmistress, inactive co-curricular, etc, compared to others school. Why not give thanks and be contented for the things we have rather than listing down the things we do not have? Is not it better? I was once in the first category until today.

My perspective towards my teachers, school and fellow friends totally changed recently. As I count the days towards the start of my major exam - SPM, I knew that my last days in school are also reaching. I realize that we never sincerely appreciate what we have until it is lose it. Just like an old saying: "we often cry over a spilled milk."

I had a really blessed week today when I came across really helpful and dedicated teachers that really pour out time and effort to support and give me last minute advises. I felt so touched by my teachers and friends having such selfless attitude while many would rather be anguish and be self-concerned.

Throughout this week or should I say, this month, I had learned to be selfless, humble, meek, loving, kind, patient and last but not least, having total faith in God. It is not my might, strength or even my luck to be capable of going through this season. It is not the works of my hands that brought me here today. It is God. It is HE who provides me with wisdom and intellectual skills. It is he that I am successful. God gives, God takes, God names forever be glorified.

I often had a prideful mindset of I could not learn much from weaker or younger individuals. But if only listen twice as much as we speak. The only thing we need to do is to be humble and gentle, swallowing our pride for just ONCE. We will see and learn things we would not expect. I urge you to try it.

Until I blog again,


Walk with God. Walk with love. 


"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
1 corinthians 13:4-9


God bless.
