We will be in a nationwide total lockdown on 1st June for 2 weeks to halt the rising COVID-19 infections in Malaysia. We have gone through the state of emergency, movement controls, partial lockdown and total lockdown.
Stay home and stay safe. Adhere to strict SOP if you are outside. Stay active and healthy at home. Keep in touch with your loved ones. Look out for your well-being and mental health. If you need someone to talk to, please send me a message, and hope to support what I can.
This pandemic has caused many disruptions, impacted many livelihoods, and lives nationwide and worldwide. The frontliners are also battling every day without fail and we need to highly appreciate their sacrifices and hard work by being more responsible.
We have been living with COVID-19 for the last 1+ year and COVID-19 may be here to stay for long as more new infectious variants of concern may drive a new wave of cases. This is the new norm and we need to live with it.
We need to try and do all we could to protect ourselves, loved ones and everyone in general and that start with us. One of the most crucial things we can do is to take the available vaccines that are offered.
There is vast scientific growing evidence that vaccines are effective and likely to reduce transmission considerably. Just remember that there are viruses that exist before and still exist now but the likelihood for us to get them is low because we have been vaccinated before.
It is nerve-racking for some when we talk about vaccinations because of the unknown, impacts and effects they might occur. It is fair to think a lot and think ahead. However, conduct your analysis and always obtain facts from credible sources, don't listen to hearsay. Understand the advantages it can bring and help to save yourself and the people around you.
We are born to die. Scary as it may sound but this is a fact. Talk about death, if we afraid that we might die because of the vaccine, we might die because of COVID-19 too. If we survive this pandemic, we might die because of something else, death is still the unknown for us.
The vaccine is to help keep you from getting seriously ill even if you get COVID-19. Getting vaccinated may also protect people around you. Let's not just think about ourselves and start to think about others too as vaccination will be an important tool to help stop the pandemic.
Be a hero to yourself and your loved ones. Even if there's a possibility of dying, we die as a hero. Death is certain. Be courageous in doing something meaningful for the greater good.
Take care, stay safe. ❤

Learning from the Destruction of Sodom
“and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly; and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked (for that righteous man dwelling among them, was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds):” (2 Peter 2:6-8 WEB)
The apostle Peter wrote that Abraham’s nephew, Lot, was righteous. By this, we know that he is saved and that he got saved because he had faith in Yahweh.
However, Lot’s end was tragic. He escaped from Sodom with no possessions except for the clothes on his back, his wife, and his two daughters.
On the way out of the city, his wife turned back after being told not to, and was turned into a pillar of salt.
Afterwards, Lot settled in a cave because of fear.
“When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived. Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters. The firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth. Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.” They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose. It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine again, tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line. ” They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up. Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.” (Genesis 19:29-36 WEB)
Seeing the scale of destruction, Lot’s two daughters thought that the whole world was destroyed and that there were no other men left, so they proceeded to make Lot drunk with alcohol, and slept with him to bear children. After that traumatic experience, all they could think about was sleeping with a man!
This was a righteous man’s ending because he chose to live a worldly life.
This all began because Lot decided to walk by sight. Abraham and Lot’s flocks had grown so much that they could not live together anymore. When Abraham asked Lot to choose where to separate himself to, Lot chose based on what he saw, without praying to ask for God’s counsel—he was walking by sight.
“Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar. So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.” (Genesis 13:10-11 WEB)
We learn from the Book of Proverbs that there is a way that seems right to a man, but it only leads to death.
“There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” (Proverbs 14:12 WEB)
From then on, righteous Lot was tormented in his soul (mind, will, and emotions) every day from seeing and hearing the wickedness of the people in Sodom.
Not only him, but his family was exposed to this worldliness daily as well.
We who are born-again will feel this tormented soul state even more so than Lot because we have the Holy Spirit inside us. Our born-again spirit hates what is evil and loves what is good.
This is why if genuine Christians fall into sin, they will hate it and want to be delivered from sinful habits and lifestyles.
Lot’s wife turned back to Sodom because her heart was full of the world. Her treasures were in that city. When she looked back after the angels told her not to, it revealed that she was not really saved (she had no faith in Yahweh).
The wicked ways of Sodom had also rubbed off on Lot’s daughters. They learned to make their father drunk and do something as vile as committing incest with their father.
All these tragedies happened because Lot chose to put himself and his family in a worldly environment, without leaving Sodom before its destruction. He failed as the head of the house.
Worldliness will ruin Christians and cause them to live defeated lives. They stop reading God’s word and praying, and instead use all their time and effort to pursue what the world runs after, only rushing towards their destruction. Unnecessary hurts and suffering are sure to come.
What example are you setting for your family? Are your daily habits leading them closer to God’s ways, or drawing them away from His ways and towards the world instead?
“Now he who plants and he who waters are the same, but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor...For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ. But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble; each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is. If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward. If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.” (1 Corinthians 3:8, 11-15 WEB)
Are you focusing on earthly things like “gold, silver, costly stones”, or is your heart on the things of God which are heavenly?
When the time comes for you to stand before Jesus’ throne, don’t be like Lot who escaped with nothing but his life. Lot’s works were all burnt up, and he got out of the city with nothing, like he lived his whole live in vain.
When the day comes for your eternal rewards to be measured, I hope that you will be happy with the way you invested your time in this life. When you build your life upon the foundation of Jesus Christ, with the Gospel and its advancement as your chief goal, there is no way you will be shortchanged on ‘awards day’.
What is the point of chasing foolish things in this lifetime only to end up with nothing that lasts forever, as if you are saved through fire with all your works burnt up? Be wise—walk by faith, not by sight. God’s word is true.
Judgment day for Christians is nothing to be afraid of. In fact, it is a day for receiving eternal rewards. How do you maximize your rewards, identify your God-given calling in life, and step into that to enjoy a worthy life? I share a whole book about that in “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”.
This was the first book I wrote, and it is full of revelation about our eternal rewards which are hardly taught about in pulpits today (I’ve never heard anyone preaching this): http://bit.ly/sandcastlesdontlastforever
We’ve all done things in the past we’re not proud of. The best way for us to heal is to accept ourselves- every flaw and moment we’ve been ashamed of to learn to let go of those emotions to truly be happy.
Everyone has a story of their own & this one’s mine. I went through a lot as a child from learning how to cope with the death of my brother, sleeping in cars because we were either homeless or moving from place to place, and leaving my parents to have a better life.
I’ve learned that life moves on, either with or without you - so learn to live life happily, wholeheartedly. Work on yourself and learn to really love yourself by accepting who you were born to be.
Thank you for supporting me and my journey.
XoXo,
Rose
Lyrics:
My Story - Rose Mun
Lyrics:
Look -
Let me tell my story
Grew up in a small town
Everybody knew me
Mom, Dad, Brother, Brother, Sister, then Me
I guess you could call that a family
10 yea old left mom & dad
Didn’t even know that life was bad
17, and the brothers passed
Cries every night with the thought of that
There’s days where we’ve gone cold, gone cold
& days where we’ve just had no home
Slept in the car like it was nothing
Woke up went to school
Tryna be something
Tryna make my family proud
Tryna get that bag, cause I wanna get out
Rap:
So you can call me crazy
Yeah I’m crazy on life
I said puff puff pass
Now I’m a little high
Thinkin’ bout the times
How it flew by
How much I’ve grown to love myself
Man it feels nice
You should try it sometimes
Instead of shittin’ on people
Karma is a mf’ bitch
Man that shit is lethal
Escape this damn reality
And just be me
I just wanna live my dreams
Let my soul be free
I was lost for a minute
But now I’m back
Trusting the Universe
The Angels got my back
I’m seeing all the signs
Right before my eyes
I’m following my heart
And ignoring my mind
I came from a broken home
And that’s okay
My parents weren’t in my life
I accepted all the pain
I learned to accept my life for what it is
Blessed for all the moments
I’m glad I got no kids.
Serial dated
As if I was a killer
The only person dying
Was the one inside
A sinner
Didn’t know my worth
Let myself get used
Dated the wrong people
I even got abused
Man I learned my lesson
Even though it was the hard way
Cheated on my exes
And now karma paid it my way
Fucked up many times
Thought I learned my lesson
I was just a kid
Playing games and messin’
With things I didn’t understand
Loving people wrong
Hurting them in the end
Made mistakes
And grew from that shit
Learned to let go
Release, and that’s it.
Life moves on
Either with or without you
It’s your choice to
Make up what you will do
So take this time just to sit back
Listen to your heart, really listen to that
Stop playing games
And silence your mind
Meditate & grow
Baby, let me see you thrive
Clear your energy
Throw in some good vibes
2021 - the greatest time to be alive
"If you're alive, we are always having a deepest desire in our mind that is a silent space making us oxygen and breathing, which can present as narrow and limited corner. We chasing, run away from the reality, and struggling in our whole life, cause we do not want to face the fear and laid heavy burden on in our heart.
However, we truly understand we can't run away from all of fear the world, which life is like a cycling, and non-stop whirling.
Therefore, people believe religion is a strongly conviction and loyalty way to protect there self even it just making s piece of the silence freedom imaging in their mind.
"If we losing any religions, which looks like we do not have freedom anymore, indeed that is the last wishes."
Could you telling me what is the different between human being and the death. Free from a body, people still trying to evade the reality, but back inside to the middle of heart, the religion is continuing slowly growing up and building it. Even feeble pulse, and the sounds grew fainter, I still telling myself, I believe I won't give up for my life.
In the end, what about the most important hearts? Are you feeling alive or death?"

「只要活著，我們總是渴望在僅有狹隘的空間裡找到一塊得以呼吸喘息的角落。你想逃離你所害怕以及內心負擔的恐懼，因此這一生我們不斷的在兩者追尋、逃避與掙扎。
但是你卻又明白你的恐懼是永遠逃不開的，像個無線迴圈不斷循環，因此我們冀望於信仰，我們替自己內心建構一個自我得以感到安全感的信仰，僅僅希望從中獲得一點點也好的自由，
『失去信仰如同失去自由,因為信仰是最後的希望了。』
那麼生命活著又和死著有什麼差別？你的軀殼在尋找逃避，內心不斷在建構信仰，你靠著一點微弱意志，告訴自己：我還可以。
那麼最重要的心呢？是活著還是死著？」
