Year 2008

Just 10 days left before we close 2o08.

2008 has been a remarkable year... Sometimes its so easy to forget what actually happened during the year. And if we do not take a step back, and just to remember on all the things that happened during the past 12 months...its so easy to miss out how good God has been in our lives.

So as I take a step backwards to look through my 2008 goals... there were some achievements and also some disapointments. But I must thank God, that I achieved more than what I actually thought I would ...

So below are my 2008 goals...its quite personal. But its okay, I think personally I want to be more open and a more approachable person. Shall write this in my 2009 goals... =)

Asia Conference

Just back from one of the best conference ever! Held in Singapore Expo, a total of 25,000 people was present in the conference.

It was such a life changing experience, despite having to queue hours before getting a chance to enter the hall. Everyone was willing and this shows how much they really love God.

Such spiritual hunger!...no wonder all the meetings were great.

One thing that impacted me the most, is the fact that the church needs to look outside its 4 walls. Whether it is community work, helping the poor or taking care of the less fortunate...all our contribution shows how much we care for people. Its true that people do not care how much you know, until they know how much you care.

Often action speaks louder than words, often it is just not enough to pray...we need to get our hands dirty and do the work.

There is a passage in the bible that says,

James 2:17 (New Living Translation)

17 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.

KSC Karting

One thing that I'm very sure of, is that I have a passion for racing. I think its in my family blood. I'm quite certain that my dad and uncles all have some genes that revolves around racing. Naturally, we can hop into a car/ go -kart/ bike/ Motorbike...whatever it is with wheels and be able to ride it pretty well.

No one actually thought me about racing lines, braking , trottle control and etc... It just come natural for me <--- cheay!

Now that can be a good and bad thing... The bad thing is that if you develop wrong techniques that you thought was good ...its very hard to unlearn it. The good thing is that, naturally we are better than others no matter how hard they try...LOL.

I think people with natural abilities tend to learn and grasp things faster. Example, I've known people who are naturally good at music...take up a guitar strum the same song...and it sounds so much better that the other person. I call this natural talent.

Then there are those, who are trained to have these 'skill' or talent...but somehow lacks the special something compared to the person with natural talent. But I believe that we all need to continue learning and honing the talents that God has given us. Those with natural talent are ones that I guess God has given a head start. Having said that, if the person with natural talents just sits back and do nothing with it, sooner or later the person who is trained can over take the person with natural talents.

Anyway......few moons ago, I participated in the last KSC endurance race of the year. Here are some pics and will talk more about the race as I show u the pics....

The race started by 'rolling start' meaning everyone must not overtake before crossing the start/finish line. However, things didn't go according to plan some people started overtaking me even before passing the start/finish line.

Me looking good...on turn 1

As the race went by, I was battling for position with Nicholas who is infront of me. This is me sticking to his back as I plan my overtaking manuever exiting the turn...

Ohh yea....in front now.

This is nicholas after the race...see racing is friendly...still friends! haahha

Finished 2nd this time...its weird because we actually crossed the finish line in front of the others. Somethings are hard to explain if you know what I mean.

This is Teck Wei my race partner... He was the fastest man on track that day!

Anyway, was just happy to have won and stand on the podium for 3 times in a row... =)
