Yohanes 14

This is my first post about faith. If you have a bible, turn to that page and you can see that chapter talks about Jesus say that God will send Holy Spirit to people when Jesus goes back. During Alpha course I attend today, the speaker tell us that Jesus promise holy spirit to those who believes Him. That makes me wonder, so how about those who don't believe? They don't have holy spirit?

My dear friends, it's not I'm querying my religion, I'm just asking and wondering. God cannot be understand. If you trying to understand, then stop. You'll be crazy. Our human minds limit us to understand more. Taking examples from the speaker, if you read the bible, there is a chapter which talks about Paulus, who hates God. When Jesus show himself infront of him, he turns blind. Our human nature cannot see the glory of God. That's how awesome our God is. Cool eh? But then, my question about holy spirit is something that can be answered.

When I was baptized, my teacher ask all of his student including me.

"You receive Holy Spirit when you are baptized. How about when you are not yet baptized, does the Holy Spirit is not with you?"

I don't have the answer. Yet in my opinion (just my opinion, it's not teaching. Do not quote), the holy spirit is among us, within us since we're born. I believe that. Correct me if I'm wrong. So back to my question, does the holy spirit is with people who believe only? How about those people who believe that Jesus exist, but not following Him? How about those who don't believe, but follow His teachings? I've got a friend, Muslim, he follow us 'berpuasa' during Lent month. Does the holy spirit with him?

According to the speaker, Christian beliefs cannot be understand using logic. It cannot be compared to other religion, cause we are not the same. So if you want to comment this post, please use bible quote to comment. Don't give your own piece of mind. I don't want to know how you feel or what you are thinking.

Are you 'Melatah'?

(FYI, i dont know what melatah is in English)

Everyone seems to have this symptom nowadays. Including my boyfriend. According to Kamus Dewan Fourth Edition, melatah means:

 Seseorang (biasanya wanita) tidak sedar apa yang dilakukan, mengikut perbuatan atau suruhan orang lain tanpa disedari, mengeluarkan perkataan atau membuat sesuatu secara tidak sengaja kerana terperanjat.

Meanwhile according to American Normal book called Hyperstartle Syndrome, Lawrene Osborne said " If American is popular for its aneroxia, and Nigerians have problems with tired minds, while Malays have 'latah' (hyperstartle syndrome).

The famous Malaysian psychologist/motivator, Dato Dr. Fadzilah Kamsah, once quote;

Only the malays, eskimos, and one or two african that "Melatah."

I wonder if this is true. I mean the melatah thing. I've seen people who pretends to melatah, and it is purely annoying. But then, I've seen some which undoubtedly saying things they don't want to speak, and acting things they don't want to do.

But then, I believe when you melatah, you only say short sentence like,

"Mama ko lapan"

"Opocot ko"

"O mak!"

"Amen!" (This 1 is mine)

Long sentence like,

"menari-nari, terbang-terbang la engkau"

"kepala dia sudah ada empat ditambah empat lagi"

"Saya mau makan KFC banyak-banyak sampai gemuk macam Sanchez"

In my opinion, long sentence like that is not melatah. Sometimes, I saw them acting like they are melatah, and again i want to stress this, I got annoyed. Why do you want to act like that anyway? To be funny? Coz it doesn't seem to entertain me.

I remember a priest prayed for the melatah people during a Christian Camp I attend last year. He pray God bless them so they stop their melatah disease. Notice I bold the word 'disease', he call melatah a disease. Wikipedia define disease as abnormal condition affecting the body of an organism.

So to think about it, why do some people proud of their melatah? It can directly means they are proud of their disease. Like I'm proud I have flu or something. Weird. But anyway, (I wanna say 'sometimes melatah is funny', but  I dont feel like that, so drop it out) try to stop melatah if you can. It makes you tired if you say/do it again and again. And its a disease. If anyone of you out there pretends to melatah, drop it out, it aint cool. Melatah happens to women, not men.

When tsunami come

Tsunami hit Japan. Its a few days ago but i just remember i have a blog to talk about it. Anyway lets be quite for a while to respect them. (SSsshhh..)

I'm confuse about something though. Japan/Jepun is an advance country which mean high technology more advance than other country, and again i want to stress this word again. "Japan is an ADVANCE country". I underline it and capitalize it so you got that i really mean it.

Even such advance country like that couldn't even expect such tragedy like that. I wonder what will happen to Malaysia or Sabah if things like tsunami happen. Sabah may end up like Acheh,dead body everywhere.. (jauh palis..touch wood). Im not saying Acheh is not advance or any negative words okay.

Please Malaysia, and to any state in Malaysia (especially Sabah coz i live in here), do something. We are facing terrible tragedy nowadays. Almost every year we have terrible tsunami or any great disaster. And its because of climate change (tiba-tiba). Anyway, plant more mangrove trees near the beach. It can hold on from tsunami. Plant more trees coz it lowers down the Earth's temperature. People, dont be stupid. Dont put time limit to your life. We all will die, but dont make it faster stupid.
