Investment

Hello!

There are kinds of stress wandering in my life now. I feel busy but yet, I manage to take my time out writing this post. Okay, actually I'm just wanna be lazy...

Well, the older you grow the more problems you get. This is kind of fact. You know, now the world is struggling about money problems. Just two days before, the street beside my house got a drama on. There was a couple walking on the street and suddenly they were robbed. The girl shouted loudly and the guy was crying for help. Obviously, I don't think there is a need to help them since I can't even run fast... Back to words, they were helpless and just about 3 seconds after that, robber drove his motorbike away with a loud noise.

Think about this, the couple was shouting because there was someone taking away their property. I'm sure that the robber was struggling about money problem. This shows how important that money is in the world.

As what I've named my post- Investment, I'm thinking about the balance between God and Money and also Life. These three things are able to change a life of a human. So, dear readers, think about what is important to you? Your life? Your God? or your Money?

Let's talk about my view. To be honest, humans can't be what they want and most of the humans do not like having a responsibility on their shoulders. However, we tend to control the things that we can control and we can't. That's why money and life are things that people value the most.

I believe that a life which is full of colours is a meaningful life. But life is short. Too short for us to do things that we want, we like. As I say life is short. This means that life is not everlasting? Yea. I guess so. Our body can't last that long.

So, yea. What I'm trying to do right now is that I wish to invest my life to learn about God's words and world. I use money to invest books so that I can read them. Besides, I take up a lot of hobbies. Is that what God wants our life be? Hmm.... I'm still thinking about.

Dear readers, if you have some thoughts on this topic and you wanna let me know, please comment this post. I'll be really happy to see your comment!

The World became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

- John 1:14

Felicity

Hi guys!

I'm so happy today. Not to say happy but I'm not sad, so I'm happy. Thinking about I can do many things at the age of 17, I'm happy. The joy and all that come to me.

While thinking about happiness, I think about the sad things that have happened to me and the people around me. I know this doesn't link well, but I think it links.

My tears fell down from my eyes on my cheeks before. I'm known as the person who cries a lot in my family. Dear readers, I know if you know me well enough, you know that I like crying. Well, crying makes me feel better. Crying makes me not to fear about the things around me but to concentrate on crying. You know, sometimes when we have bad feelings, we'll try to do something that actually makes us stop having negative feelings. That's it!

This year, I've cried before. Yea. I cried about the world. I cried about the evil world. I can't stand so many things. I can't stand people who are proud of themselves and the liars. I've no such power to say these words and judge people. So, may God help me in this way that I won't hate people but love them. Okay, back to my topic. Crying. As I said I cried about people who are being very proud of themselves and trying to control others. Others can have their own thoughts. ( This makes me feel like I'm sinning while writing this post ).

So, yea. Then, you might ask, 'What make you happy? '. I''m telling you now. Learning things makes me feel happy. The happiness is a thing that I can't write it in word. Learning musical instruments, learning something from the books and the bible or some more things make me feel joyful. I feel that God really loves me in the way that I'm able to do things and learn. That's amazing.

Well, sometimes I feel like I have a lot of hatred towards the people around me. This is the thing that I should change now. So, if you can help me, help me by prayers. Because it helps a lot.

Having hatred actually makes people feel unhappy and angry. Sometimes, it is worst. So, why don't we just forget how people show their black faces to you? Instead think that they actually feel that the black faces are their most beautiful. That's why they show them to you!

Recently I've been listening to this guy's youtube songs. The songs he played are fantastic. I guess you know who he is. He is Sungha Jung! Okay. I'm not promoting him to you, but sharing good things with you. I get my blog post idea from one of his songs' titles.

Here you go!

Old

Hi there. I have a sudden feeling to write a blog post. The deep deep feeling. I don't know if you've got bored of my blog contents. Some were about my stupid life, my thoughts and my stupid everyday routine. 

I've too many fun in my life. My life is full of colour. You are right, I'm trying to make my life a meaningful life and a life with no regrets. That's why I'm still learning piano and studying my textbooks (-.-). There is only way to change your life status, which is by studying. Okay. This sentence is quoted from my form 4 history book, who I can't remember (at least I can still remember there is such sentence, gotta work hard on my history). I'm sure that he was a Chinese. If every Chinese has got this thought, then I'm a half Chinese. I don't really think that studying helps in all the way by changing your life status, indeed the most important is a person's attitude and character. Attidute of a person builds his life? Haha. Ok. I think first of all, we should believe in God. 

So, yea! Taking up too many hobbies make me feel stress out sometimes. These hobbies make me feel like I still have something to do. This makes my life more colorful. One of these is that playing piano. Here is a history of my piano lessons.

I've learnt piano since I was young, like the age 5. You might be thinking that I'm in a high grade now. However, you are wrong. Totally wrong. I stopped at the age 8 and retook it last year. So, I pressured myself a lot in playing it. I want to be zero errors. But if I can play a piece of music without errors, I'm no longer Elisa Jean. Then I'll be Elizabeth Jean or Elisa Samuel or Patrick or Richard. Yea, you know, things are not pefect with me. What to do? I've to accept it since human is not perfect and we have to ask strength from God! 

So, yea. Piano makes me think of how old I'm. "It is not special that I learn very fast, but it is because I'm too old to learn while others've been learning since young", here is the real meaning of mine. Okay, tell you this is another quote from a book that I borrowed from library. It is a Melayu language book ( I forced myself to read something like that and I slowly have some favour on it). This sentence is so inspiring. Ok. And the condition that I'm facing, I definetely wanna surrender. I feel like I'm so old in everything. However...

"Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that sufferings produces perseverance; perseverance, character; character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because god has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. "

Yea. This is another quotation from the bible (Roman 5: 3-5).
These are the words that make me feel like it is worth to do something that I don't like. You know, go against the lusts and desires. 

Thanks for spending your time reading this bad English blog post.
Apologizes are being made to you if you really think that I should study more English then only write a post. I'm really sorry to pollute your eyes, waste your time, dirty your brain and make you angry.

I Won't Give Up On Us

Hi there! I've not been posting since last week. Now, I'm not free, but busy, which mean now, I'm being lazy. You see, every Thursday is a busy and lazy day. There is a thing that I should be grateful of, which is I'm still alive.

Yea. During this week, I've done many things. Things like studying and sleeping. I must mention here, I don't study a lot, but sleep a lot. Not saying that I've wasted my time, I actually have wasted my life. Time = Life. Don't waste your time because you only have one life.

There are many things happened in this week. I don't wanna list all of them out, because that will be pretty boring. I'll just talk about special things.

I have my science lessons nearly every week day. My science teachers are pretty good in teaching. Ok, maybe is that I've changed my attitude. During the lessons, I paid my attention on them. Like physics, I wasn't like last year. Now, I'm able to concentrate on the lessons. Thanks God. My bio and chem, I'll work hard on them, I'm having tests next month and this Saturday.

I experience how great God is. Really. Like now, I'm no more afraid of people and being more sociable, I guess. Besides, I've started to get rid my lazy bugs from my body. That's pretty good. And well done, Elisa. And I'll not give up on being a better person and having better character.

I've been telling you ( my readers ) about how obsess that I'm on music. Seriously, throughout this week, nearly everyday I'm listening to this person's guitar music. I'm pretty amazed about him. He is Sungha Jung. He is only 18 ( older than me one year). And he is so famous ( at least I know who he is ). I believe that this fellow is hardworking and determined in music. So, yea, I'm learning these things which is- being hardworking and determined. It's hard for me to change, since I've had the bad habits since don't know when.

DETERMINED AND HARDWORKING.


Felicity :D

Ok. :D

Connection

Hey yo! It's not a good time to write a blog post now. This is due to the fact that the weather is too hot, it hasn't been raining for 3 weeks, I think. Other than that, my time management is really a failure. This statement is totally disagree the statement before it. Therefore, I'm able to let my time out and eagerly write this post in front of this computer.

Today my post is about connection. I'm actually thinking about how people should have connection with each other. And that obviously, we need communication and interaction. In this modern generation, most of us are able to socialize with people without thinking that it is an awkward thing. However, there are many of them who feel uncomfortable when interacting with people.

Most of us know how to talk. However, some of us are shy to talk to people. The bravery has never been in that sort of person before. Unable to socialize with people is a disadvantage while we are working with people. This cannot socialize character should be unwanted. I have seen so many of them not willing to talk to people in class. Not that they are not willing to do so, but they refuse to let people know they are there. Their presents are not felt. ( My headmaster always says : MAKE YOUR PRESENT FELT ). So, we should actually be brave to stand up.

The most important thing is not that the connection within people and people but people and God. The Rukun Negara of Malaysia emphasized on having faith in God ( KEPERCAYAAN KEPADA TUHAN ). This statement was placed on the first of the whole thing. Here, we can see how important it is to stay close with God and we actually believe in Him. Every Monday morning, the whole school read about ' to have faith in God'. Though we read this and remember this, do we practise this? So, if your answer is no, then, I hope you can be a good citizen by practising this.

We are not able to do things without Him. Hey Yo! This is a true fact. You may ask me why is it so? So, here I wanna tell you. You can't deny that the world is created by God. Everything is made by someone. For example, your iPhone. You iPhone is designed by someone and manufactured by some companies. The companies have got CEOs. You can simply think about anything. And the anything must be created by someone. Maybe you don't know who the person is, but it is a fact that the person has created the thing.

Back to the topic, how do we have connection with God? It's easy. You can read His words and pray to Him. That's connection and interaction. Obviously, to show your respond to His words, you should do what He wants you to do. I'm trying to practise that, may God help me.

I'm gonna end my post here. But I'm not satisfied with this post, because I still have many more to say. I wish that those who have questions with this post, you can make a comment here. I don't mind.

God bless you :D

Now

I've been celebrating Chinese New Year in my hometown. There are a lot of things have changed there, including people. People who have visited there might think about the living cost there is low. I agree with that. I miss the time when I was young. I miss the time when I was there, studying there and living there. Although I didn't really have the best moment there, I guess my hometown was where I thought about easy life. Here, I've always been thinking about my future, the future that is full of hardship. I'm scared that there will be one day, people here eat me and gallop me into their stomach. And I'll never be back. Oh man. What am I talking about. Here, I need to apologize my bad English again. English is a tough job for me.

Last year I was so eager about having many activities in my daily routine. Now, I'm sitting here, with a thankful heart that today I've no activities. Thanks God. Life has been hard with activities, though I enjoyed learning something new.

Recently, I've been thinking about my future. I'm sure some of you know my ambition. Well, I don't care much about that. I'm not mature to think about that because I'm too childish. 

I'm looking forward to the life that I get good results in many ways. However, there is only day dreaming but not actual work. So, it's time for me to wake up from the dreams. The feeling after Chinese New Year that I have is energetic and stressful. No stress, no achievement. Therefore, I have set goals for my academic. I'm not going to write here because it is going to be boring. As a blogger, I don't like making my readers to feel bored.

Quote from Luwig Van Beethoven 

To play without passion is inexcusable. 

I'm putting much of my passion into my study ( most of the time I force myself, that happens everyday ). Besides, I build my passion in music. Music makes my days. It is such a bless that I get to play music, though it is actually noise. I don't care much about my family members who are listening to what I play. If I think I'm making them mad, I probably lock myself in the room and start playing that. It is really true that I really want to make my teacher be amazed with the practices that I've done. Well, sometimes I do things for teachers. I wanna make them happy? Haha. Teachers = Stress. I'm a bit mad with that. Ok. I'm just kidding. Laugh haha and stop.

I'm so happy that at least one of my new year resolution is achieved. It is reading the Bible everyday. Sometimes I'm lazy to read but sometimes, I get to read like twice a day. There is a good start for me though ( maybe you are thinking that I'm dull ).

Ok. Time up. I need to end this now.
Till I blog again.
