Continuing from my previous post...

I started radio at the young age of 20 and leaving now at 38.
Started off my career while taking my degree and thinking I will leave after a couple of years and chase journalism but ended up falling in love with radio and TV, production and presenting and then got hooked on it.
Those wonderful years at Caldecott went by in the blink of an eye.

But here comes the time for me to rediscover myself, my life as a mom and wife and to remind myself of the things that I have always wanted to achieve and have held on hold for the longest time.
For now, the digital world has been beckoning me for years and I feel it’s time for me to give it attention as I should.

I will love my radio years in Caldecott forever and a day. And here I am all ready for the next chapter of my life ❤️.
Bismillah semoga Allah swt permudahkan.

Always yours,

Be Open to the Holy Spirit Moving in New Ways!

“When Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him. He held up his father’s hand, to remove it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father; for this is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.” His father refused, and said, “I know, my son, I know. He also will become a people, and he also will be great. However, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his offspring will become a multitude of nations.”” (Genesis‬ ‭48:17-19‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

This is a fresh word from the Holy Spirit.

If God used to do something in your local church or in your life, it does not mean He will always do it the same way.

In the passage above, Joseph was displeased when his father Jacob blessed Ephraim with the firstborn blessing instead of Manasseh who was his firstborn by natural order of birth.

Joseph thought this way because that’s the way it has been done all along. But it doesn’t mean that it’s a rule.

Just because God chose to move a certain way in the past, doesn’t mean He will keep doing it in that style forever.

He does new things. Be open to flowing with the Holy Spirit and don’t be set on old patterns—if not, it’ll just be a useless tradition of man.

When the Holy Spirit has already moved forward and is beckoning you to follow, don’t be stubborn in clinging on to old ways. There’s no power in traditions that are not backed by the Holy Spirit.

When we try and put God into a box, we limit the potential of what He can do in our lives (since He won’t force us against our will).
It will delay progress and take a journey of opening your heart to change.
Why waste the time? We can skip ahead and trust God in whatever way He leads us.

“When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there. Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works? Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers, James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? Aren’t all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?” They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and in his own house.” He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.” (Matthew‬ ‭13:53-58‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When the people of Nazareth saw Jesus again, they were offended by Him because of what they knew about Him in the past.
They still saw Jesus as that ordinary carpenter’s son when He had already stepped forward into a new season of His life as the revealed Messiah.

Their unbelief caused them to miss out on God’s mighty miracles. They couldn’t move on from past ways and past experiences, so they were denied from new ways of breakthroughs.

God’s Word, His nature and principles are unchanging, but He uses different methods to bring His purposes to pass.

In this season, a new appointed time of God, where many people can only attend church services online, let us not despise it. It is still full of God’s power because He is moving through this new medium.

Be expectant to receive fresh breakthroughs in new ways, as the Holy Spirit chooses!

🚣🏾Growing up in the 1990s on Chicago’s violent West Side, Arshay Cooper often had his walk home from school punctuated by the sound of gunfire. To him, “crew” was another word for “gang.” One day in the fall of 1997, a rowing coach with the nonprofit Urban Options who was trying to launch a team at Mr. Cooper’s overwhelmingly African-American high school beckoned him toward a sleek boat and a rowing video display set up in the cafeteria. Mr. Cooper realized that “crew” could mean something else.
Arshay Cooper生長於二十世紀90年代暴力橫行的芝加哥西部，在他從學校返家的歸途經常被槍聲給打斷，對他來說crew就是另一個gang的同義詞。在1997年秋日的某天，非營利組織Urban Options的一名划船教練正試圖在Cooper身處非裔美國人佔多數的高中內組建一支隊伍，當時教練向他招手，示意他來到放在餐廳內一條流線型的船前，同時有著一支划船賽的影片播放著。Cooper這才理解到原來crew這個字也可以代表其他事物。

-punctuate: 打斷、中斷（所以punctuation就是標點、斷句）
-crew: 組員、機組員等，此作為成員的意思
-gang: 幫派成員
-beckon: （向…）招手、示意
-sleek: 平整的；線條流暢的

🏆He wound up joining what would become Manley Crew, the country’s first all-black high school rowing squad. In a new memoir, “A Most Beautiful Thing,” to be published June 30, Mr. Cooper credits the sport with transforming his life and those of his teammates, keeping them away from gang violence, focusing their studies and paving the way toward more promising futures.
他最終加入了後來成為曼利船隊的全美第一支全黑人高中划船隊，在即將於6/30出版的新回憶錄『最美的事』中，Cooper認為划船這項運動改變了他和隊友們的人生，使他們遠離幫派暴力並專注在學業上，並為他們鋪平了通往更好未來的康莊大道。

-wind up: （使自己）陷入、捲入，這邊解為最終自己的狀況…
-memoir: 回憶錄
-credit: 讚許、讚揚（動詞）

未完待續...
划船運動究竟跟黑人的處境有什麼關係呢？

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
長い雨に遠ざかる声　足を止めて町を眺める
煙る空がどこか奇麗で　懐かしい場所に変わって
いつも傍にいてくれたよね　俄雨に立ち尽くす日も
ふいに浮かぶ過ぎた景色と　木陰の下　雨宿り

小さくて幼い　それはまるで
泣き虫な誰かみたいで

四月の雨　濡れた羽
雲雀はまだ　飛べずにいる
浅い春の冷たさに身をすぼめて　時を待ち続ける

日差しの種　淡い夢
羽ばたくまで　唄を添えて
遠い空の切れ間へと　五月の花の名を　今は知らずに

長い影と呼びかける声　時を止めて星を見た夜
眠る前に交わした言葉　失くしたくないものばかり

小さくて幼い　それはいつも
泣いていた　傍にいたくて

失くせないもの増えるたび
暖かさに沈んでゆく
通り雨の冷たさに身をすぼめて　歩き出せずにいる

ゆずれないもの　ひとつだけ
鞄の中　仕舞い込んで
今でもまだ覚えてる右手のぬくもりと　唄を頼りに

遠く響く雷鳴には　春の嵐の手招きの音
いつか　ここで　同じ景色を見てた

四月の雨　風に揺れ
雲雀は今　空を見上げ
浅い春の冷たさに身をゆだねて　羽を広げてゆく

ゆずれないもの　ひとつだけ
鞄の中　仕舞い込んで
遠い空の切れ間へと　花咲く五月へと
傘もささずに

中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
在漫雨中漸漸萬籟俱寂沉靜，我歇下前進的步履，盼向熟悉的城鎮
絲縷雲霧迷濛的天穹傾刻變化綺麗，為這景色添上一絲懷愁牽念
「你總是在身旁陪伴著我呢，即便我們曾佇足紛揚驟雨沐淋的那天也不曾分離。」
腦中不經意追憶起過往點滴——樹蔭下的休憩、雨樓下的回憶

如此渺小稚嫩又青澀天真，那就彷彿——
某個膽小懦弱的愛哭鬼似

四月的連綿細雨，浸濕了的羽翼
盼望再度飛翔的雲雀，仍未能展翅翱翔
伴隨淺春的凜冽寒峭而蜷縮身軀，靜待時間流淌逝去

播灑陽光的種子，流露微淡柔和的夢想
待到能夠再度擺動羽翼之時，我將在一旁與天空伴歌
願歌聲得以高聲向遙遠天穹迴響，即使我們至今仍未聞，五月盛開綻放的花名

向細長淡去的身影遞去的輕聲呼喚，僅為那一夜的璀璨星空，忘卻了時間的流淌
即便是入眠前與你交會傾露出的話語，全都是我不欲失去的、珍貴的點滴

正是因為這份稚嫩與青澀，所以才總是——
總是在哭泣，流著淚渴望你陪伴在身邊

倘若，能獲得更多無法失去的事物
便令人更加無法自拔地沉浸在它的和煦溫暖中
僅因短暫降雨的寒意便蜷縮身軀，動彈不得、更沒有勇氣邁出步伐

無法退讓、畏懼失去的，僅此唯一
緊緊收起、深深地埋藏在，所背負的行囊之中
至今仍舊得以憶起，右手曾包裹住的柔和與溫暖，正藉著奏響的春頌煦煦傳來

遠處嘹亮迴響的雷鳴，宛若在春天的暴風中招手的聲響
曾幾何時，也曾在此處，看見同樣的景色

四月的連綿細雨，隨著清風搖曳紛飛
雲雀現在已能，昂首仰望天空
接受淺春的凜冽寒峭，而任憑身軀，張開翅膀翱翔離去

無法退讓、畏懼失去的，僅此唯一
緊緊收起、深深地埋藏在，所背負的行囊之中
靜待真摯的情感抵達那片天際的盡頭；抵達錦簇繁花盛開綻放的五月時節
也可從此收起，這把度過春雨的傘了

英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
Upon hearing the fading voice in the middle of the rain
I stopped walking to gaze upon the city
The hazy sky is turning into
somewhere beautiful and nostalgic

You have always stayed by my side, you even
stood still on days when the rain pours unceasingly
even as scenery floated past unexpectedly
under the shelter of the trees

The small and young something is just like
someone who cries easily

The lark is still unable to fly
as its wings were drenched by the April Showers
In the cold of early spring
it furls its body, awaiting the passing of time

Just as this dream with subdued colours
is adorned by seeds of sunlight,
I will adorn the lark with poems until its wings could flap again
and it can fly to the distant skies
without knowing the name of the flower in May

A long shadow and a voice calling out to me,
the night I stopped time and saw the stars,
words exchanged before going to sleep,
these are all the things I do not want to lose

The small and young something
is always crying, wanting to stay by my side

When the things you can’t afford to lose ever increases
submerge everything in warmth
In the coldness of the passing rain
it furls its body, and stayed still

The one thing I can’t afford to lose
is buried inside my bag
Even now, as I depend on a song
I can still remember the warmth of your right hand

The distant echo of booming thunder
is the sound of the beckoning spring storm
I will see the same scenery here someday

The April Shower is swayed by the wind
The lark is now looking at the sky
In the cold of early spring
It spreads its wings in abandon

The one thing I can’t afford to lose
is buried inside my bag
I head on to the distant skies and
I head on into the month of May, where flowers bloom
without opening my umbrella
