If Only They Believe

It takes alot of balls to admit & rectify one's mistakes

Ooh goody goody goody!

Just as promised in their previous statement, the organizers of Energizer Night Race 2011 had fulfilled their obligations by delivering my finishing medal through courier post. I just wanna move on from here & focus on the future. Hopefully we will see a much better event in the following year. Energizer Man, don't let me down again!

This is something random I like to share called faith.


An invincible weapon

What is faith? Google it & you will find the definition of faith to be; firm belief in something for which there may be no tangible proof; complete trust; opposite of doubt. From the Christian context, it is the only the thing that can please God. There are not many things you can do without faith because if your conviction is easily shaken, then everything will seem impossible to you. I myself need to have faith in God for many things like...

Many said that Malaysia is hopeless. Many said that Malaysia can never change. Many chose to run away & will never come back here again. Is there no one who is faithful in this country anymore?


As long there are those like Hannah Yeoh who still believes in change, all hope is not lost ~
