This is a wonderful community i've joined so far.

The founder Arnold Dela Cruz a.k.a. StandUp4Design is a man by his word. He share his valuable point of view to the newbie to the design world like me. He shares almost everything he knew and his concern to the community. Some other new designer friends like Christina, Bruce, George and many more also willing to share their knowledge and view points in there. They're all awesome people - like you.

The internet nowadays is full of informations. There are too many places for us to look for. It's like restaurants, they never stop open new restaurants. Everyone have their new recipes to serve but the bottom line is, to serve those who hunger for food. Everyone wants to serve good food, they claims to serve good stuff, and then nice atmosphere, and so on and so forth. Consumers are all confused, so they started to gain a new behavior which i literally named it - 'THE JUMPER BEHAVIOR'. (Ever watch that movie - JUMPER?) They go here and there and never settle down. It's tiring though but everyone seems to enjoy the chase. (I just can't understand it, maybe that's why i'm a noob. lol)

Knowledge sharing is a passion if you may ask. It's generous. Like Graham Smith for example, he shares, he add values, he helps creating awareness to the importance of being genuine and reliable. David Airey too, his passion towards logo design is undoubtedly strong (just look at his hard work in Logo Design Love ).

I'm not a real designer at all. After joining DD(short name for Design Democracy), then i realize how little i know about what is design. I really wish to learn more about it. Am 34 this year already, and still a noob in design. How long it would take me to at least to know more basics? i don't know, but one thing for sure is through the recommendation from these pros in the internet i literally know. I will be able to reach more resources than to learn and find it all by myself for sure.

How i wish to see more and more active members like you would come and join us and share more of your opinions and anything you want to share about designs in DD.

Ciao.

i have not read any news about Obama's campaign and just recently find out He wins! haha... i knew he would. he looks Confident, Ambitious. I like him.

Unfortunately i'm not living in that kind of country. i'm in a country that teaches us to be stay cool in our current situation. Don't simply make changes if you are not ready. Is that what our live is all about?

Man! I mean, when are you going to make sure you are ready if you are not sure that you are not ready? Changes happens everyday, every-hour, every-minutes, and every-seconds. We change everyday! The Americans are really good at that and they always realise that. That's why they always ahead of many of us. Although they are the first to face the consequences but they have the chance to learn how to solve it first! Being the first is not that bad afterall if your people are ready for you anytime and anywhere!

When can we get there? When our leaders can grow like them? Curious.

GOD BLESS ME

This is the fifth month.

I have not continue my bible study for 5 consecutive month.

I'm hopeless. My life is hopeless. I don't do regular prayer morning and night because i don't get use to that. I tried but God knows why. He knows I'm too weak to do so. I turn Him down.

Satan and his followers are still trying very hard to attack me and influence me to switch my attention. They've succeed in some ways. I know their existance while others don't.

I will try my best to keep on to the path. May God be with me.

This is a funny site. (That's the way i saw it.lol)

I forgot when i joined but i do remember why i joined - they pay for their survey. I thought it might be wonderful to have a Malaysian Paid Survey Site here~! Wo0hoo~! 20 cent, 30cent, 40 cent, 70 cent, 1 ringgit more sometimes(once in a blue moon) well i think it's because they pay according to the sponsor's budget. I just got a few ringgit in my account only and hahaha... it's funny that you are going for the survey for such an amount, but most of all - a support to these young entrepreneurs. They are energetic, talented, ambitious, have courage, dare to change. It's a good sign. These are the peoples we wanted to encourage them to dream big - think deep - act fast.

Most youngster around me is ambitious, and dream big as well but just with their big mouth to do big talk. No actions were taken. No efforts were spent. So, usually my answer to their vision of success is just a simple word, "Good!" Nothing much to say as their ego has blind their eyes and cover their ears. Time will have them to pay for what they believe, don't you agree?

So, to all those who work hard and think smart in the youthsays.com - Keep up the great work! You will be big, REAL BIG~! "youthsays-international" someday? or maybe "youthsays alliance network"? lol... Adios amigo~!

潔白的木槿花

2008-10-11T22:54:00.001-07:00

潔白的木槿花

~好溫馨感人的故事 ~

一到夏天，院子裡的木槿就開花。 母親一見潔白的木槿花，就會眼含淚水， 哆嗦著說：「我那時好糊塗，好糊塗啊。」

我 5歲那年，右腿忽然青腫了一塊，痛得我成天哭喊。 母親見我熬不過，就背著我去廖醫生家。 廖醫生是個老中醫，退休後在家裡開了個小診所。他醫術好，心也善良。

廖醫生看了我的腿，責怪我母親：「再晚來兩天，右腿就廢了。這是骨髓炎，嚴重了就得截肢 !」母親不敢出聲，眼眶卻紅了。

其實不能怪母親，父親去世後，母親終日為3餐發愁．哪有閒錢給我治腿?母親擔心地問能否治好，得到廖醫生的肯定回答後，臉色晴朗了許多，可片刻後，又一臉的陰雲。

廖醫生給我敷了草藥，又交給母親兩帖中藥，說兩天後再來換藥。母親顫聲問要付多少錢，廖醫生說5塊錢，母親的臉紅了，母親借不到錢，但我的腿不能不治。母親只好揣著八個雞蛋去廖醫生家。那時雞蛋很便宜，幾分錢一個。廖醫生不肯收，母親鼻子一酸，眼淚就掉下來了 ?廖醫生的眼睛也濕了， 安慰母親：「好，我收下。錢的事，不要說起。」 看了幾次腿，母親已欠廖醫生 28塊錢了，這在當時不是一個小數目。

再去廖醫生家，母親帶上了家裡惟一的母雞。廖醫生死活不肯收，母親哽咽著再三哀求。

廖醫生拗不過，說：「好，就算我買你的，10塊錢，好嗎 ?」說著 ，硬塞給母親十塊錢。那時一隻雞最多賣 4、 5塊錢。母親說啥也不肯接錢 。

回到家裡，母親發現中藥紙包裡有 10塊錢，當晚就去了廖醫生家，把錢從門縫裡塞進去了。

兩天後，又該去換藥，可母親不敢去，只默默地流淚。不料廖醫生找上門來了。談話間，廖醫生驚喜地發現了院子裡的木槿花，說：「木槿花是上好的中藥， 一兩值 2塊錢呢 !摘了賣給我，好嗎? 」母親驚喜萬分，連忙摘木槿花。廖醫生拿秤一稱，竟有 1斤。他說：「這下好了，你再也不用欠我錢了。」

此後，去廖醫生家治腿，母親就帶點木槿花去。母親不用欠廖醫生錢，廖醫生反而每次給母親一點錢。不久，我的腿治好了。

第 2年，廖醫生竟去世了。母親十分傷心，去廖醫生家弔唁。母親從他家屬口裡知道了一個天大的秘密：木槿花是不能做中藥的。母親哇的一聲嚎哭起來：「恩人呀 ……」

朋友們，要把握機會幫助人；

但要記得：

也要讓受助者有尊嚴。

Time's Running Out!

2008-09-12T22:27:00.000-07:00

I've got a call two days ago from an old friend back from my hometown. A Jehovah Witness who's been teaching me about the Words of God.

All these days my prayer has come true AGAIN! Yes. Jehovah has not forgotten me. He still love me as who I am. He knows my limitation. He knows that if he is not besides me i am easily be attack by the "You Know Who"(this is how i call His opposer :P later ill call him in short as the -ykw- ). He knows that if i keep on by not studying bible continuosly i'll be vulnerable. With his angels i will be well protected from the -ykw-'s harm.

What i have to do now is to get ready to continue my bible study with a Jehovah Witness again and attend the meetings as soon as possible to gain faith and be strong to say no to anything which will draw me far from God. I have to be faithful to Him because He is the ONLY GOD in this world. The time is near and i have to be ready for His kingdom's arrival.

May God bless us all.

It's been three weeks i have been looking for my watch.

This watch used to belongs to my dad and he has gave it to me few years ago. By the time he gave me this watch he told me that this brand has no longer exist. I've tried to find it on the seb but it seems that it has no longer exist here while i'm not sure it really does varnished or not haha. So i took it and take really great care of it and treat it like a precious from my dad.

Three weeks ago as usual i am doing my routine work in the supermarket, i leave my watch somehow do not know where and i'm not sure where actually i've put it while at that time i have really not concious about it.(i am really an absent minded person i must confess :P) By the time i got home i still not aware of this! When on the next day i was to off to work then i realize it's not there. "OMG!" i thought. "Where's my watch?" I've tried to find it all over my room but just can't find it. When i was at office i try to find it everywhere i could have left my watch but just can't find it.

After a few days, i gave up. I thought it might have been taken by somebody else and i wish that he could take great care of it. Maybe it's time to pass it on(haha).

Yesterday - 30th August - Morning. By the time i wake up, as usual i turn all around on my bed again(hehe) there's a familiar touch beside my bed, i slip my hand into the gaps in between the wall and my bed i touch it! Yes! It's my watch! I've found it!!! God Bless Me!

AM I TOO FAR FROM GOD? (PART ONE)

2008-08-19T22:28:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I just wonder if I am drawing myself too far from God.

I make a promise to myself that I would spend the rest of my life in serving Him, but the fact is my decision --- or the choice that I make has drawn me far from Him or should I say, from His protection.

I started my Bible study with a JW (Jehovah Witness) few years ago. I used to call this a coincidence but nothing is coincidence which after I told what I felt to this JW.(We should call him Brother Koh later.)

The first time I met with Brother Koh was about 3 years ago.(Well, since I’m a very absent minded person, that’s why I can’t recall the day I met up with Brother Koh :P) I have my own office at that time and it was a wonderful morning after I has had my breakfast at the coffee shop nearby my office, there’s a guy next to my table dressing properly in long sleeves and with a pleasant and warm smile on his face. When I look at his table I saw this little magazine, I was quite excited (because I love to read books) and smile at him and ask him if I can have one of them? (I saw he got a few of it so I thought I might be free XD haha!) and he say Yes and then he gave me one and ask me if he can pay me a visit so we can discuss on what I have read about. So I agree and arrange a meeting with him at my office after a week (I think).

At that time, I was kind of lost after breaking up with my girl friend months ago. I believe in nothing but money and myself but I still believe in God (whatever they are and wherever they came from). So I started the Bible study in no obligations and with an open mind. I ask Brother Koh plenty of questions about what I have learned from the magazines he had for me from time to time and he was always patient to listen to me and share with me the real teachings of the Bible which is what Jehovah really wants us to know about Him! I was curious at most of the time before I deeply believe in Jehovah’s will and the decision He has made for us and the world. That’s why I always think of lots of questions for brother Koh so I could know more about Lord Jehovah and His beloved son --- Jesus Christ.

Guys, I’m telling you this --- it is joyful to know about Jehovah’s will and I am feeling that I was blessed to know about what He has ready for us. There is no doubt that He is truly a loving and caring Father of ours. The only problem is us. We have chosen not to believe in Him not because people ask us to but the system of the world has made us not to. Fellow Christian (though I’m not consider a Christian yet, but hey, I think I gain more knowledge than those who attend the Sunday service regularly, no offence but for most of those I know whom attended regularly they hardly understand what’s all about the Bible teachings from their churches! I was shock to know that more than 70% of those who go to church admit that they know nothing about the Bible!) I’m not writing this to criticize on anybody but don’t you think that we all deserve the right to know the truth?! What going on in this world? What happens to our lives? Why people today don’t love each other anymore? Why we sick? Why people commit adultery and feel no shame on it? What has gone wrong? Even priest says gay is not against the Bible?!! OMG!!! Can you believe that?! Let’s see how’s the bible says about it.

“...And you must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing.” - Leviticus 18:22

“…and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error." - Romans 1:27

So, as you can see, the bible – which is known as Word of God has already predicted what has and will happen to us. It’s just time to proof that it is right about EVERYTHING! What will happen to these people then? The bible says here:-

“...Although these know full well the righteous decree of God, that those practicing such things are deserving of death, they not only keep on doing them but also consent with those practicing them.” – Romans 1:32

Why doing it? fellow brothers and sisters, hereby i urge you not to do it anymore. If you have friends who are in this case, please let them know about the truth especially if they are Christian. We should be seeing each other in the promise land – the paradise! With the blessings from Lord Jehovah and our King – Jesus Christ, and everyone who is with them! Not to follow the world to its end!

I have done things wrong, but I will do my best with the help and blessing from Jehovah and Jesus Christ and all the angels and JWs to make things right again! The system of the current world is trying to draw me away from Jehovah but they will fail eventually because I have faith in Lord Jehovah and His will .(Guys, forgot to tell you one thing is that my English is just fair ok? Not very good one so I hope you can understand what am I saying here because this is going to be a very long one so it could have part I, II and so on and so on…as long as my studies continues! XD)

(TO BE CONTINUE…)

MAY GOD BE WITH YOU. AMEN.
