A soft prayer

I was attending my church prayer meeting on the 28-11-2007.

When it came to prayer time, we were all divided into groups. It being one of my first few times in a church prayer meet, I admit that I had reservations about praying aloud. Nevertheless, I told myself that I must find the 'courage'...

Finally, I plucked up the courage to pray aloud just as someone in my group finished praying. I launched into prayer... However, I noticed someone looking at me. Then, the person seated next to me kindly told me that someone else was already praying.

'What? Really? I don't hear anything', I thought, a little embarassed. I listened more keenly and lo and behold... a soft voice floated from the opposite end of the circle I was in. O.o' I could actually hear much better the voices of people praying in other groups.

The other person probably started praying while I was plucking up the courage to pray aloud. Good grief... I shall have to listen carefully before I start praying aloud, next time. XD

November 10th, 2007

Yes. It was the day when 40 000 or more Malaysians of all races marched in the streets of KL, turning them into seas of yellow. The people of Malaysia walked and many cried out, "Democracy". Like Joshua did with his priests and people, Malaysians were crying out, to bring down the walls - of silence that have for so long surrounded Malaysia!

Hundreds of police and the FRU were deployed, chemical laced water was blasted, tear gas was fired. It was war! Not the kind where crude weapons are fired (Well... actually... erm... well it wasn't the marchers that used them *cough cough*).

It was not for the freedom of the slaves but freedom of democracy!

In fact, it was so massive a rally and march that my friends and I coming from Subang Jaya got stuck in a bad traffic jam as soon as we tried to use the Federal Highway on the way to our Youth Group meeting in PJ Section 13. We had to turn back and return home. I felt ecstatic (not that I didn't like my Youth Group). But the march was really working!

DEMOCRACY!!!

A random thought

Have you ever seen your parents (or found yourself) overeating just so that the food does not "go to waste?". Honestly, overfilling yourself with food isn't my idea of 'saving'. No, you won't be saving any money whether you eat it or not, but you WILL grow fat if you do. Sad... =.=
