Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Hi,
I would like to wish all readers and followers of my blog a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!. May God continue to bless you in 2009. The actual significance of Chirstmas is that Jesus was born on this day about 2000 years ago. It is a time of celebration for all Christians in the world.
I actually fell sick two days ago with sore throat and cold. The sore throat is getting better now. My nose is quite blocked still. May see the doctor tomorrow. Need to drink more water and eat more greens and fruits.
This morning, I attended the Gereja Bethel Indonesia (GBI) Christmas service at Taman Anggrek. Communion was part of the service as well. The worship session was good. It suprised me that the song by Chris Tomlin, How Great is Our God is sang here as well. At the end of the service, everyone receives a door gift containing a Breadtalk bread, a 330 ml Danone Aqua Drinking Water and a GBI 2009 Calendar. Of course, it is in Indonesian.
Here are some of the Christmas songs and hymns that we normally sing during Christmas:
- Joy to the World
- Silent Night
- O Holy Night
- O Come All Ye Faithful
- Angels We Have Heard on High (Gloria.....in excelsis Deo)
- Hark the Herald Angels Sing
- The First Noel
- God Rest All Ye Merry Gentlemen
- We Wish You A Merry Christmas
- Jingle Bells
- Let It Snow
- Santa Claus is coming to town

At Jakarta Now
Hi Everyone,
I am at Jakarta now. I can get used to the environment now. I currently live in Taman Anggrek Apartments. Quite a nice place. Just below it, there is the Mal Taman Anggrek, one of the biggest shopping centres in Jakarta.
Been watching a lot of Discovery Channel & Discovery Science recently. The tv channels here are limited. I also attended a church service today at 1700. It is in Indonesian though. Worship is slighly different but it's ok. The message is quite good today. The church is Gereja Bethel Indonesia. They have a two hours service.
I had a gift exchange with my friends here yesterday. I got a vacuum stainless steel flask. Quite a good gift. This is my first vacuum flask. During my cell group's Christmas gathering, I got a water bottle. It is at the right timing because the handle of my previous water bottle broke at that time. Had some food with them too.
Please note that I will post the pictures after my trip back to KL. I will not post any pictures now. Thanks.
That's all.

Bolt
Hi,
I went to GSC Cheras Leisure Mall on Wednesday to watch Disney's latest animation movie, Bolt. It is about a dog named Bolt who is a dog that has superpowers in a TV series. Bolt acted along side a girl called Penny. They were very close together when they acted in the TV series.
The adventure starts when Bolt was obsessed with saving Penny's life went out into the whole world. During this time, he discovered that he did not have any superpowers in the real world. As he journeys to find Penny, he made friends with a hamster named Rhino and a cat named Mittens and they taught Bolt to become a hero in the real world. It is an educational movie. It encourages us not to give up easily and strive to do the best that we can in the things that we do.
Bolt is voiced by John Travolta and Penny is voiced by the star of Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus. I give this show a rating of 8/10.

Christian Living
Hi,
These few days, I tried to find something about holy or christian living. There are a few passages in which I found useful and I aim to have some of these characters:
Colossians 3:5-12
5Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
12Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (NIV)
Galatians 5:19-23
19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. (NIV)
I find these two passages really show me the life that I should live as a Christian. In the Bible, in Matthew, we are called to be the salt and light of the world. (Matthew 5:13-14) Of course, I am not perfect but these are the standards that we should follow.
In Mark 12:30, The Lord told us the greatest commandment of all, Love the Lord Your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all you mind and with all your strength. In Mark 12:31, it says Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than this.
These are some of the Christian virtues and character that we should follow and emulate:
- Love
- Forgiveness
- Joy in knowing God and Jesus as our Lord and Saviour
- Patience
- Kindness
- Generous but not to the point that we suffer in our part. We should be cheerful givers.
- Goodness
- Faithfulness
- Perserverance
- Positive Attitude
- Prayerful Minds
- Gentleness
- Self Control

More Christmas Decorations at The Gardens
Hi,
I went to The Gardens this afternoon by using the KTM Komuter. It is only 10 minutes away from Tasik Selatan. It links to the North Court 1st Floor of Mid Valley Megamall. Very convenient. KTM Komuter has done a good job here enabling people to get to Mid Valley easier.
These are some of the pictures taken when I was at The Gardens this afternoon:
