Nick Vujicic - "Something More"

We always have the thoughts of : "Why is this happened to me?", "Why am I not accepted by my friends?", "Why am I not happy despite I have all the money in the world?"

We dwell on these 'unfortunate' events and hoping there will be an alleviation from God. What would you do if there's no answer or miracle by God? Grumbling and cursing will not solve the problem.

Nick contemplated on these questions, and revelation he got is :" If you don't get a miracle.... BECOME ONE!" He use his life-story to encourage millions of young people.

He don't want us to draw console by comparing his sorrows with ours. He wants us to overcome the negative side of whatever thoughts that comes in our mind.

Jesus went up into the hill country and called those He wanted

Today, the Gospel considers the theology of Christian vocation: «The Lord called those he wanted to be with him and send them to be apostles» (cf. Mk 3:13-14). First, He calls them: For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy (cf. Eph 1:4). God loves us, shaping us in Christ, encouraging us to develop the characteristics necessary for us to become his children. These qualities are best understood when we consider them from a vocational perspective; vocation is the “role” in life that God's plan of redemption has allotted us so that we can fulfill our part in his work of redemption. Only by discovering your God-given vocation —the true reasons for your life— and by fulfilling it on his terms, will you come to know yourself as God knows you.

And what does God require of those He calls? He asks us to live close to him as we serve him, and in return, He promises to stay close to us. Yet, God speaks to each one of us individually and specifically. «One day perhaps an ordinary Christian, just like you, opened your eyes to horizons both deep and new, yet as old as the Gospel. He suggested to you the prospect of following Christ earnestly, seriously, of becoming an apostle of apostles. Perhaps you lost your balance then and didn't recover it. Your complacency wasn't quite replaced by true peace until you freely said “yes” to God, because you wanted to, which is the most supernatural of reasons. And in its wake came a strong, constant joy, which disappears only when you abandon him» (Saint Josemaria Escrivá de Balaguer).

It is a blessing, but it is a blessing that can only be fully realized when we become holy through our willingness to serve, through prayer, and through the blessed sacraments. «All faithful Christians, of any kind and condition, are called to the plenitude of Christian life and to the perfection of charity; a sanctity that, also in our earthly society, contributes to humanize our way of life» (Vatican Council II).

This is how we learn of our apostolic mission of taking Christ to others. First, having him ourselves so that we can share him. Today, and every day, we must meditate upon the true nature of our call to vocation, answering his call with an increased love, born of our increased understanding of what He calls us to do and to be.

Happy Chinese New Year

A Great Lesson To Learn

A Great Lesson To Learn

A Young Couple Moves Into A New Neighorhood The Next Morning While They Are Eating Breakfast, The Young Women Sees Her Neighbor Hanging The Wash Outside. " The Laundry Is Not Very Clean " She Said  " She Dosnt Know How To Wash Correctly Perhaps She Needs Better Laundry Saops " Her Husband Looked On But Remained Silent. Every time Her Neighbour Would Hang Her Wash To Dry, The Young Women Would Make The Same Comments. About One Month Later, The Women Was Surprised To See A Nice Clean Wash On The Line And Said To Her Husband : " Look, She Has Learned How To Wash Correctly. I Wonder Who Taught Her This " The Husband Said : I Got Up Early This Morning And Cleaned Our Windows. " And So it is With Life. What We See When Watching Others Depends On The Purity Of The Window Through Which We Look!!!

Stay away from anger.... It hurts .... Only You!!!!

Stay away from Anger... It hurts ...

Only You!!!

The Wise man explained how to handle insult and maintain compassion. One day the wise man was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him. "You have no right teaching others, he shouted." You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake."

The wise man was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man "Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?"

The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, "It would belong to me, because I bought the gift."



The wise man smiled and said, "That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself."

"If you want to stop hurting yourself, you must get rid of your anger and become loving instead. When you hate others, you yourself become unhappy. But when you love others, everyone is happy."

The young man listened closely to these wise words of the Wise man. "You are right,  "he said. "Please teach me the path of love. I wish to become your follower."

The Wise man answered kindly, "Of course. I teach anyone who truly wants to learn. Come with me."

Beautiful Quotes

If you are right then there is no need to get angry, And if you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry.


Patience with family is love,
Patience with others is respect,
Patience with self is confidence and
Patience with GOD is faith.







Never Think Hard about PAST, It brings Tears...
Don't Think more about FUTURE, It brings Fears...
Live this Moment with a Smile, It brings Cheers.!!!!


Every test in our life makes us bitter or better,
Every problem comes to make us or break us,
Choice is our whether we become victim or victorious !!!

Do you know, why God created gaps between fingers? So that someone who is special to you, comes and fills those gaps by holding your hands forever.

(This is the New Year message which was to be delivered by Bishop Datuk Ng 
Moon Hing, chairman of the Christian Federation of Malaysia, as an expression 
of CFM’s concerns to the Honourable Prime Minister of Malaysia at a lunch 
hosted by the Prime Minister on 4 January 2012. However, Bishop Datuk Ng 
was not given the opportunity to present this formally at the lunch.)    

YAB Perdana Menteri Dato’ Sri Hj. Mohd. Najib bin Tun Razak,  Tan Sri-Tan Sri,
Datuk-Datuk and distinguished guests.
Happy New Year! Greetings and Best Wishes to all who are present. We thank
you for extending your kind hospitality to us in organising this lunch.
Christians have been experiencing a roller coaster year since 2010 that has
been fraught with both blessings and painful encounters. This meeting at your
invitation has given us an opportunity to reflect over the past events and
especially the Christmas Hi-Tea of 2010 where you graced our function with
your presence and the luncheon in May of last year where you played gracious
host to us.

We thank you for always encouraging us to be frank with you. We welcome
more opportunities for constructive and open dialogue on a regular basis and
not just in times of crisis only. Our counterparts from Sabah and Sarawak have
also reminded us of the meaningful meetings that they had with you.
There has been a passage of time since our last meeting.  I would like to take
this opportunity to reiterate some of the points which we had raised with you.
However, due to the constraints of time today, we will only refer to the
relevant memoranda that had been submitted previously and highlight some
recent developments in the past year.

The issues that concern all non-Muslims including Christians which have been
raised over the years are summarised in the following documents:

1. Malaysian Consultative Council of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, 
Sikhism and Taoism (MCCBCHST) memorandum entitled “RESPECT THE
RIGHT TO PROFESS AND PRACTICE ONE’S RELIGION dated 25  October
2005 and revised in a document entitled “UNITY THREATENED BY
CONTINUING INFRINGEMENTS OF RELIGIOUS FREEDOM” dated 15 June
2007. The issues mentioned here include –
1.1. The refusal of civil courts to adjudicate cases where the Islamic
ingredient is present.
1.2. Conversion cases that cause hardships to families.
1.3. Land for places of worship and burial grounds.
1.4. Lack of consultation on issues which affect non-Muslims.

2. Christian Federation of Malaysia’s memorandum via a letter dated 21
December 2010 handed to you at the Christmas Hi-Tea in 2010 which
include the following issues:
2.1. Standard policy for places of worship, land for worship, cemetery,
foreign religious workers, etc.
2.2. Standard policy for schools and education policy. (In this regard, we
want our mission schools to maintain its character and the
management and operations should be under our control).
2.3. Tax exemption status for religious organisations and charities,
welfare centres and homes.
2.4. To have a Minister in charge of religious affairs (in particular for
religions other than Islam)
2.5. Freedom of publications and usage of religious / Scripture books of
each religion.
2.6. The lifting of the ban on the usage of the word 'Allah' in the whole
nation. (In particular, the lack of resolution of the Herald, Jill Ireland
and SIB Sabah court cases).

Whilst some issues have been attended to after decades of having been
repeatedly raised, there seems to be an inertia in resolving all remaining issues
constructively and expeditiously.

We wish to express the frustration of our churches and all Christians in having
to deal with lengthy bureaucratic red tape and ever-changing goal posts. We
have exhausted meetings at the highest ministerial level and have made
attempts to dialogue at various levels and yet we often find the most effective
means for action to be taken is when the issues are raised in the public sphere.
Apart from the above, additional problems have arisen in the past year that
have added to the pain and disappointment of Christians. We have witnessed
unprecedented incidences where Christians have been made victims of
unwarranted and unfounded accusations, vilifications, insults, even police
reports and have indeed been made to suffer because of certain actions.
We would have expected our political leaders and the relevant authorities
including the police to have contained and refuted the allegations in the
interest of national harmony and unity and yet their silence seems to be
acquiescence and further condemnation of our Christian community. What
more we see the official organs of government including government controlled
media being used for this purpose with impunity.

We also note that many of the past as well as present issues are based on a
selective reading of the Federal Constitution that is intentionally used to
legitimise discriminatory laws and practices which favours one community over
another. We reiterate that the Federal Constitution guarantees equal rights for
all Malaysians. In particular, there should not be a denial of public space nor an
encroachment of religious freedom.

Given the enormity of the issues facing non-Muslims, together with our
partners in MCCBCHST, we reiterate our proposal for the setting up of a
Ministry of Non-Islamic Affairs to safeguard and protect the interests and
rights of the non-Muslims. This is merely a first step as we are not naïve to
assume that all issues can be resolved by this single Ministry.  It requires the
commitment and collaboration of all other Ministries and organs of
government.  We hope that there will be maximum consultation in respect of
the structure and operations of the Ministry.

The Government should respect the High Court decision in the Herald case
with regard to the use of the word Allah and begin the process of dismantling
laws, regulations, policies, guidelines and directives which restrict and prohibit
other religions from the use of the word Allah and other words.

We thank you for making the time and effort to meet with us.  We would,
however, like to see substantial breakthroughs achieved during the term of
your office in particular in the areas that we have highlighted above and also in
the widening of public space for freedom of expression, a fair electoral process
and the continuous eradication of corruption.

Our Christian churches have often kept your administration and the
Government in our prayers. We always pray that our leaders will be rightly
guided by Almighty God to administer and govern with righteousness, fairness,
justice and wisdom.

There is a very wide and alarming disconnect between  what you intend to
happen and what is happening on the ground.  The policy of moderation which
you uphold does not seem to have filtered down to all levels of government.
If left unchecked, it would be murdering and destroying your own vision of
moderation and goodwill among Malaysians which you have espoused.
We are pained by those ugly manifestations which trample upon moderation.
We Christians would like to work with the Government for the sake of our
beloved Malaysia. In the spirit of Muhibbah we would like to bring the gift of
peace to this country.

May God bless you and the country for the well-being of all Malaysians!

Bishop Datuk Ng Moon Hing
Chairman and the Executive Committee,
Christian Federation of Malaysia

2012 - It's a year for spiritual renewal.

We had celebrated the coming of year 2012. There are a lot of ‘happening’ events taking place, eg. count down concerts, parties, shopping spree. That day also a very important for us especially for Christians, it is also the one-week old Jesus in your life. Do we take the time off to go for thanksgiving mass on the last day of the year? Do we examine ourselves for what good has been done? What wrongs that need to rectify with other people or God? Asking for pardon for what can not be undone, and give praise and glory to God for what has been accomplished through us.

Every human from the very beginning, was made In the image and likeness of God. However, the values and practices of the society made us ignorant to the needs and kindness towards others. We are promoting individualism, materialism. For example, we are so into accumulating wealth that sometimes, we do not care for the consequences of our selfishness. We turn on air-conditioner in the hotel rooms day and night just because ‘we paid for it’. However, we keep on complaining the intolerable heat outdoor. It is by someway caused by the excessive greenhouse gases release by power producers which run on fossil fuel.

Regardless of the genuineness of the myth of ‘2012’, we are to live our life as what has been exhorted by Christ – to be the salt and light of the world. St. Paul in his letters continually foretold “the time is near”, but the people then was living their life with hope till today. There’s no need for unnecessary fear of the judgment day. If we are well-prepared spiritually, we will be celebrating rather than fearing the coming of the Kings of Kings and Lords of Lords.
