Toys and stuff

I used to be crazy over toys, especially McFarlane's toys and also other toys that has to do with games and anime and also kamen rider. I used to spend a lot of money on these collectible figures. I went all over Penang just to look for a figure which has captured my attention. I didn't know that I have spent a lot of money on these items untill it was too late. I just didn't mind when I want something. I just buy and don't think about the consequences that my actions would cause. I really thank the Lord for opening my eyes as to what I have been doing and put a hold onto my spending habits. Thank you Lord for reminding me about all the other things that I could do with the money that I earn instead of spending it on toys. It could be an investment for some people but when I come to think about it, I should use the money that I earn to build and expand the kingdom of God instead of wasting it away on toys. I really acknowledge the wonders that God has made in this world that we live in. It is so wonderful to experience His wonder everyday and I am still amazed and awed at the wonders that the Lord has created in this world. Praise the Lord and all His wonders. Let us all experience each new day in wonder and amazement at the Glory of the Lord. Peace to all who are in Christ and Grace be with all of you.

My favourite game from the past


I still remember the first time I laid my eye on this game. It was a time when I am still studying, which meant I have no income to actually get myself a PS(play station). The intro for this game captivated me so much that I made up my mind then and there that I must get myself a PS and get this game.
That was how Final Fantasy 7 got me into the world of PS and into the interest of playing all Final Fantasy games. It is not to say that I am a good gamer since I am so interested in games and I also cannot say that I am a good game reviewer but I can say that I am a person who is interested in epic saga games. I remember the countless hours I spent in playing this game which I could have used for other more benificial work.
My lost my concentration while working due to last hours playing this game and that affected my review and work performance. At that time, I did not mind what happened to me as long as I could get home and spend hours playing this game. It was not beneficial to me at all. As I looked back at my life now at that time, I realized that I should have concentrated more of my time for my work instead of playing games at home. Playing games as a passtime is ok but to make it a part of your life is a waste. I realized now that what I did back then was not beneficial to me in my life.
If I were able to go back to that time in my life, I would have concentrated more of my time for my work and not waste it on games and other non-beneficial things. Well, that is how it is when you grow older. Now that I am in my 30's, these games still have my interest but not as much as it was back during my teenage years and during my 20's. Right now I have more important things to do in my life which is to serve the Lord and to expand His kingdom. As I always hear, we have only but 1 life, how we choose to live it is in our hands. We spend but a moment in this world if compared to eternty that we would spend in Heaven. But, since we still in this world, we have our worldly needs and wants. Worldly things have less a hold of me now if compared to me 10 years ago. I know what I want but what I need is more important that what I want. So, with what I need is more than enough to cover what I want. One day I will be able to let go of all my worldly wants and focus my life into serving the Lord Jesus Christ. But untill that day, I pray that the Lord be patient with a sinner like me. Peace to all who are in Christ and Grace be with all of you. Praise the Lord and God Bless.
