He's Such An Inspiration


I used to attend St Ann's Church in Padawan and I loved this particular priest, Fr.Joseph Goh. 

The way he is, how he talks and gives his sermon is soooo different from other priest. Some priest, when they preach, is right out of the textbook or biblish, so condescending that you can't help but feel your place is in hell.

Another priest that I always love is Fr.Terry Burke. I always always love his sermons. Very inspiring. 

Fr. Joseph Goh is very soft spoken, down to earth, humble, inspiring and most of all, non-judgemental. He is the perfect example of how you can be religious but not judgmental. 

To me, he felt more like a wise brother than a priest. Someone who guide you religiously and yet understand your human struggles. I always look forward to attend the mass, just to hear his sermons. 

In fact when my father passed away, he was the priest who celebrated the funeral mass. He was the one who came over to the house for blessings and prayer when my dad was sick. He is one of the best priest I've ever met.

I was sad when a few years back he left the church to pursue his interest.

And then one day, while at work, a customer walked in. I couldn't recognised him at first. But when he chatted to my colleague, the way he talks and his voice sounded familiar. But it didn't ring any bell yet.

Not until he walked out of the store. 

Look up his name and yes, he is now Dr. Joseph Nicholas Goh (he is a Phd graduate). Googled his name and came across his page and I couldn't be more inspired by this person!

"I try to see God present in a human person even before I ask him or her what his or her religious beliefs are, or even if he or she has no religious beliefs. I am more than eager to learn from people’s notions of life and faith, and I am convinced that those notions will help me to become a better human person."  - excerpt from his blog

If I would remember him there and then, I would tell him that he inspires me to become a better Christian, but most of all, to become a better human being.

Sunlight Suite: Introvert's Heaven In Cameron Highland

 Sunlight Suite: Introvert's Heaven In Cameron Highland I told myself I'll not revisit Cameron Highlands since it became so crowded, busy, and overdeveloped in recent years. I might have changed my mind after I found this beautiful hidden gem. Honestly, it really is challenging to find a place that ticks all the boxes for an ideal introvert's getaway in a touristy place like Cameron Highlands. With lots of research, you can and for me, that place is Sunlight Suite . Going on a long weekend, I already mentally prepared myself for the infamous non-moving weekend traffic jam in Cameron Highlands.  "Going to Cameron on a long weekend?! You crazy ahh?!" my friend said.  But to my surprise, the traffic was pretty smooth. It also helps that I departed quite late from KL (3pm-ish) via Tapah route and reached Sunlight Suite around 7pm.  Little English Cottage In The Tropics Moonlight Bungalow Picture credit to https://www.sunlightsuite.com/moonlight-bungalow/   Sunlight...

Superfruit Avocado - Resipi Mudah

Bertuah anak-anak zaman modern sekarang sebab umo 6 bulan lagi mak dorang dah kasi makan avocado. Iols pun baru belajar makan avocado ni 5 tahun lepas. Itu pun sebab minum jus avocado. Wakakaka. Hari tu ternampaklah ada sorang hakak ni post dalam group MAHN (Masak Apa Hari Ni). Ceritanya baru beli avocado tapi "macam mana nak makan eh benda ni?" Okay.

Avocado ni unik. Kebanyakkan buah-buahan kaya karbohidrat tetapi avocado kaya dengan lemak yang baik. Seba...

Harmony Valley Retreat Di Janda Baik: Weekend Getaway Yang Mendamaikan

Harmony Valley Retreat Di Janda Baik: Weekend Getaway In Lush Misty Mountain This staycation was what, late last year? Somewhere in November I think, during Deepavali long weekend. Vacation yilek, staycation pun jadilah sis.  Personally, I find that staycation is much more relaxing because you don't have to go through the hassle of planning your itinerary. Most of all, you don't have to go through the stress of traveling. Urghhh, few hours to & fro airport, waiting at the airport, the stress and anxiety of going through immigration and such. Just thinking about it makes me tired. #sisaging So anyway, back to Harmony Valley Retreat. You know la, sis ni suka tempat yang aman, back to nature, nyaman sejuk-sejuk. Untuk lari daripada hiruk pikuk kota metropolitan. And Harmony Valley Retreat is just the perfect place to rejuvenate, recharge & relax. Admittedly, the thing that cemented my decision was this review from a customer "So serene & you can hea...
