My internet connection is down. And it still is.
It's been a great week. Sure has been. Though I cannot remember the events that occur. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that I can rejoice. I am glad.
Don't we all have things in our lifes that distracts us? Don't we have things in our lifes that draws us away? Don't we have complications that no one else can't understand? Don't we have pain? Sometimes it's just quite hard to understand all this, especially when the projection is upon someone else. We try in our own ways to understand things with our own human mind, and we don't. So most things I do not understand.
It is only when I admit that I do not know, only then understanding will come. This is humility. You will be amazed at what humility brings along, for even I am amazed.
I prayed something yesterday, and for some unknown reason, it felt different. I have been praying this same prayer for quite a while now, but it just felt different yesterday. I cannot describe that feeling. Even right now, I stumped thinking about that feeling. Of course I would not say what I'm praying for over here. Don't expect to know much about me from my blog, you won't. This is how my blog turns out as I'm typing. I have no idea why too.
If you ever want to know, all you do is gotta ask.
Anyway, this blog is never meant to be a sermon of any sort. It is just a platform where I can state the opinions that are in my mind. There are in no way political in any sense. I've seen a number of blogs and I donno why but this how my posts turn out to be. That's it.
Be blessed, you who are reading this post.

understanding
Yes indeed, there's so much that I do not understand. For example, I do not know how to make my blog interesting. And yet, I do not apologise to those who find this blog boring. If you would just listen to me, I can tell you much more things.
I realised that my blog does not state my emotions and feelings. It tells little of my personal life. I will not pour out my emotions over here. But yes, I would like to have lunch/dinner with you. To get to understand you a little better.
There's always so much to understand and so little time. We want to know this and that. We like to stick our noses into everything.
My blog is very vague. The points I touch on does not make much sense. If you can understand what I am writing, I applaud you. You have saw what I couldn't see.
THERE ARE JUST SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE. EACH COMES WITH DIFFERENT PERSONALITY. To understand them all is simply impossible! It's almost impossible to completely understand a SINGLE person.
And I would say, inasmuch as I try, I can never understand a person completely. Well, there's still one person who knows us completely. Look to your creator. And I'm thankful that there's someone who I can fall back on.
I do not have anything to say. My mind is in a state of blank. I have no words. However, I rejoice knowing that my Joy can be found in God.
Oh yes, God restores.

Deep
There's just a deeper meaning to what deep is. Draw me deeper. There's just something more to find whenever you delve deeper. The richest of minerals are usually found in the deepest part of the earth. There's just treasures to be found when you go deeper.
The same goes for God. There's just mysteries, treasures and intimacy that God wants to share with you whenever you delve deeper. God desires you more than you desire Him. I'm not confucious. I'm do not know everything. There's so much more that I do not know. There are others who can speak and plays instruments better than I do. There are others who can do what I am doing better than I do.
But it's just simply ridiculous if I give up because someone is more capable than me. We are all created differently and uniquely. Even though others may do your job better than you, always remember that there is only one of you. God only creates one of you. There is no replica of you. You are unique and special. Remember this.
Listen to this. No one can do exactly what you are doing.
So just go deeper. Just seek further. I assure you that you won't not be disappointed at the end of the day. Even though the journey may be ardous, even though there will be sacrifice, even though disappointment may come, it's all worth it at the end of the day.
So be encouraged. Do your job well. Do it with excellence. This is something that I am trying to work out in my own personal life too. I'm trying. Again at times I fail, but I still go and ahead and try again. So don't give up, no matter how hard the journey is. This life is called for excellence. I need Grace. and the one who gives Grace is faithful to the end.
Be blessed you who are reading this post. I am in this together with with. Let's delve deeper and strive for excellence.

Superhero
Don't we just love to have a superhero in our lives? I saw a poster today and it said "Superhero doesn't exist in real life".
That is indeed true. Superheros does not exist in real life. However what takes the places of superheros are heros. We all have heros in my life. We all have someone we look up to.
Perhaps you, reading this may disagree with me. You argue that you do not have anyone you can look up to. Well then I say to you, I would like to be your friend.
Heros impact our lives. I have a few heros in my life. What about you? Don't look away. I'm talking about you. Who is your hero? Do you have someone you can trust? Do you have someone you can talk to? Do you have someone to share your heart with? Again, if you do not have someone, I would like to be your friend. I am serious.
Heros come in many shape and sizes. I would like to be a hero to someone. I would like to extend a helping hand whenever possible. At times I may feel reluctant, but I would just like to help someone. This means giving up your seat on the bus/train. This means helping that old lady buy a packet of tissue. This means going the extra mile for someone. This means waking up at 9am to attend your friend's baptism.
We all can be a hero to someone. It really isn't that hard. We just need to extend our hand. Yes. Just reach out your hand towards them. I do not care how rich/poor, blessed/wretched you are; you still can be a hero to someone. Heros touch the life of others.
You are VERY capable of blessing someone. Would you, because you've read this passage of mine, go and bless someone? Go. Let's do this together,
At times we feel inadequate. But let's just try. I'm in this together with you. You are not alone.

Music
I will be associated with the piano. That is how my life would be like.
What is music? Sometimes I do not understand music at all. A few simple vibrations of strings can produce such wondrous melody. This is cannot comprehend.
However, music captivates. I wrote this quote a long time ago. "music, if not given for the worship of God, is just sound." This is my own personal philosophy. This means one thing, that yes, everyone is able to create music.
I strongly believe that the most captivating instrument of all is the piano. No instrument can compare to the expressive range of the piano. The piano is my instrument. But many a times I cannot comprehend it. I do not know how to work it. I do not know the steps and sequences behind it. I just sit, and play.
I let music work its own way. Indeed it is easier to worship God with music beautifying the entire environment. But at the end of the day, it's still the heart that God is looking for. Let my heart be one with my music.
Let my fingers be trained. Let my fingers dance. Let my fingers sing.
There are certain people who functions EXTREMLY well on the piano. Playing music is like child's play to them. There's just one significant trait among them. They love Jesus.
The best music can be found among worship. My tutor once asked me what is my favourite genre of music. I replied "my favourite music is my own playing on the piano." Indeed this is so very true. I enjoyed my own playing much more than listening to others. There's just something about your music when you attribute it to God. It becomes WORSHIP.
Perhaps one day I will write a book. And I assure you TAN CHOON KIAT, that it will not end up at the jokes' section. (:

Believe
This would be my first entry. My title is simple, it's "believe". Would you believe in someone? Sometimes believing in someone may be the hardest thing to do. But still, would you believe in someone because someone believed in you?
To those who are reading this, I just want to let you know that I believe in you, no matter who you are. I had my differences with many people previously, but still, God has bought me to a long long way. Still His Grace is sufficient and his faithfulness never fail.
You may even be a stranger to me, but if you need someone to believe in you, I Will. Then again you may ask, why do you choose to believe in others so easily? Sure indeed I have faced disappointment. Sure indeed I have believed in people and they failed me. Sure. Sure Sure SURE. But still, I would believe in you because God believes in me.
Usually, we often would take the easy way out. Often we think that there are people who will perform better than us. We think "what's the point? Someone else will just do it". I'm not confronting these mindset, I just want to say I believe in you.
Time and again we may fail, but I say to you that I still would believe in you. If you're reading this, I want to know your name. I just want to hear you say your name. I treasure the moment when someone tells me their name, this is when a relationship began to bossom and bloom.
Treasure the ones that you have in your life. God has placed specific people in our life to guard us, to protect us, to watch over us, to give us guidance, to teach us etc. In short, God has placed people who loves us in our life. And again I say to you, I just want to know your name.
To you who are reading this, I just want to let you know that you are indeed beautiful. I can imagine you reading my post and I would just like to tell you that you're beautiful. God has created us perfectly in his perfection. Believe in yourself. Believe in what you have been blessed with. Indeed you are blessed abundantly.
I strongly believe that love is what that is going to change this generation. Love, faith and hope are indeed important elements of our foundation, but the greatest of this is love. Love overcomes a multitude of sins. Love is patient, love is kind. Love nevers fails.
But still, many a time we cannot comprehend Love. We do not know what love is. We take the word "love" so lightly. Many people would not hesistate to say "I love you" to their girlfriends/boyfriends but only to end up in a broken relationship.
We do not understand what Love is.
We cannot comprehend love.
We shun love.
However today, love seeks you. Most assuredly I say to you, someone loves you. His name is Jesus Christ. He himself is the embodiment of love. He was love sacrificed for the sins of man. He is the one that would so believe in you when everyone condemns you.
There. I've said it. Would you let yourself be loved then? Would you let yourself know that you are loved? Be blessed my friend, as you are reading this.
Though I do not comprehend you completely, I believe in you.
Would you take time to listen to me? I still have a lot of things to share with you. If you are still reading this, our paths does not end here. There is still room for me to impact your life. And I'm waiting for you to touch mine.
Be blessed. For I, ChienKwokSengDaniel would so believe in you.
