Got to get things back in line.Speaking of which, was driving and thinking about straight lines.Using a Ruler, we draw a straight line on a paper and say its straight.Then we take up the paper, and bend it. Is the line still Straight?We pick up the Ruler, and we look at it and say its straight.We take a strong magnifying glass, look at the edges of the ruler, and see its jagged. Is the Ruler

I had this dream on Sunday night (now it is Thursday morning) when I was thinking of some things, and it was kinda weird, but touching dream (though it probably doesn't sound touching in the least here). Of course, dream details get fuzzier over time, but some details stick, and I guess I'll just try to relate what it was about in here so that I don't forget what it was about.Anyway, on to the

Well this weekend is our Arise & Build weekend. Give and it shall be given unto you, sow and you shall reap, seedtime and harvest, he who sows in tears shall reap in joy. Amen to all that.In all this, let us remember that Arise & Build is not a one-time event. Nor is it even a "church-only" event - it is a Christian event.Let's see. The components of Arise & Build are very spiritual in nature.

This has been a most hectic week for me :) But oh well no harm reviewing it... was great fun! haha, though there were times I was so irate I think I could have busted something (or more likely, busted my fingers on something)Wednesday was interesting. Was rushing an assignment that was due on Thursday, and counted on having time in the office to do it during working hours, just touch up a few

A rather interesting day, if disappointing. And thanks to Sarah I'm about to blog again... well here's to productive use of my time ;) but then again she'd probably argue that keeping Sarah in the loop of things is a very productive use of time. Yeah...Morning was a little irritating. Drove to Jurong and back for effectively very little in the way of a meeting for an assignment. I think Benjamin

It's funny... but shame is really a very personal, internal thing. It does not exist in a pure heart - there is no such concept. Imposition of social pressures can generate internal shame, but it is only a factor - the root of shame is internal. It is totally an individual choice. Funny... how things come about to remind me of this. First was service. Then last night when the family dropped by,

Well.. how interesting. This night after I posted my All Alone post, I had a dream. It was a strange dream, I was in so many parts of the world, going through so many situations, difficulties and obstacles. And through it all, there were people helping me.. brothers. People who encouraged me... who I found out were believers in the course of the my dream. Each reacted differently.There was this

Well.. I guess it's time that at the end of my 2 years in Christ, I take a look around me and acknowledge to myself that hey, at the end of the day, I'm still alone. There's 3 fellas around me - I, me and myself. Cellgroup, looking around.. at everyone in the room. Maybe my CGL might have an inkling.. but I don't know about the rest. It's like there's something inside me, just struggling, crying

Here's a reply I gave Nigel on a question I forgot, basically I just remember it as "Should Right & Wrong be Determined by God's Will?" The answer turned out a little longer than expected though, heh.===========From a Christian viewpoint, the above statement is certainly true. The concept is that there is a God who loves you and loves everyone else as well, and has a "perfect" will, ie. a will

It's been lots of stuff and very busy and yeah lots of stuff. Basically, this is how I would sum things up -I very badly need a hug. Or at least I thought I did.. now that I've done my quiet time I feel so much better... heh. Praise the Lord!Still a hug would be very extremely appreciated... yeah.

It's been a strange day, and Sister Glordia had me lead praise and worship for the children today. Was very interesting experience to say the least, and encouraging as well. God made use of this time to bless me with confidence and also to use Sister Glordia to tell me how to lead the children. One of the most interesting notes was that of the nature of Praise and Worship. It's not how well you

Well actually I had a much longer blog to put up so far for this week, but I didn't get down to finishing it. In meantime there are more pressing matters on hand, heh, so anyway... Anyway I fell pretty badly sick last week and missed 3 full days of school, with lots of lectures and tutorials, last week. It wasn't exactly helpful that I only have 4 days of school a week, lol.

Well the blog is finally back up again, I guess the Stairway to Heaven thing is gone for good since even the original template fails to work when loaded. However, this blog template will only be temporary, I see if I can restore it somehow, manually.

Yeah just taking a break now and though to post up this overdue blog, from last week's combined CG on Thursday night. Meantime will be here eating fried rice, hehe. Off another side note, I'm wondering if I should join the NUS Dive Club. I think I'll find out more about them first, before I

Well just got back from Tioman over the weekend ;) Despite the shortness of this trip over National Day weekend, it was surprisingly fun and fruitful. Went diving, it has been a while and I think this time I came that much closer to neutral buoyancy. Wondering if I should devote a little bit of time to take up Advanced Diving.. but as Yibin noted, it will mean freedom to do almost anything i like

Is kinda weird when things happen and you feel like hey, God told me about it before but yeah I wasn't sure about it then.. Well I'm sure about it now, that Pst Sun will have a child next year. Feels funny... after the Missions thing was over and we hit the 100,000 souls saved mark, I just felt like.. God is going to reward them with what they want, that Pst Sun will have a child next year.

Well today had a great time taking care of the kids :) Helena looked so sweet today.. I think she had a haircut... absolutely adorable haircut... haha. Considering restructuring my entire life... timetables and everything come up in place. I'm not making proper use of my time and in fact haven't really been. And I need to run regularly, but at least I'm working out a little now and then.

Just for fun :) =========== A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full? They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He

Here is related the item from last night, that upset me so. Odd time to get it o.O while brushing teeth in the morning. (Rom 8:22-25) We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

Never expect anyone to trouble with yourself, and certainly not with your feelings, especially when it's in the middle of the night and you don't expect much, just a little note, but you're not going to get it especially when there are other very pressing matters on a person's mind. The only one who cares and who matters is God :) Let God be true, and every man a liar.

Background : this was also on the plane, I was tired but I couldn't really sleep... had a long talk with a Christian on the plane about the state of the world, and about God. Was thinking on some things, some of it related to the previous post, and I was considering a certain course of reflection / action. So... here was what I received during prayer, although I only wrote it down about 7 mins

Really odd today.. I dreamt of a few people. Really strange. I dreamt I met with Yibin, and we were sitting at a table in a campus hallway, second storey, with someone down the hall, greeting someone then taking something and moving away. I thought the figure looked familiar and called out to him. Disheng, for that's who he was, came over to greet us, and they got to meet each other. Which is

Man that was a good bath! :) Feel so much refreshed and better.. here's to blogging on a Sunday. And now I suspect I understand better why girls seem to like to bathe so much more than guys do. It's been a nice day and I finally got a good lunch at Branwen's to make up for missing lunch yesterday. Have enough laundry to make it worth my coin now, I guess. Anyway here's an update of over the week.

I still haven't quite got used to the fact that the sun still shines brightly up to 9 pm here. Its weird... I feel like I've only just started to be online before I realise that I've been at the comp for over 5 hours, and not to mention heading to bed just as the sky starts to darken and waking up when it is bright as late morning or afternoon sure feels strange. Today was quite cool ;) managed

(2 Cor 4:17-18) for our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at things which are seen, but at things are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are seen are eternal. In this verse, Paul talks of light afflicton, but interestingly, this affliction is not light at

Well anyway, been interesting so far. Received my Practical assignment, meant for a few days. Got it polished off in one seating of programming, on a programme I never used before. Pretty cool. That being said, I feel sinful. Yeah I do, though I'm not a girl, for ordering a 12" pizza all for myself. In perspective, over here that's about 1 pound or so cheaper than a mcdonald's or burger king's

Praise the Lord! Got my card back, doesn't sound like much, yeah? Well it's about S$150 worth of food. Hallelujah ;) Here's to faith in Him... keep on believing. Prior to that, this morning had a nice long relaxing bath, then prayed, felt much better after that ;) But had to keep up the belief of getting the card back... yeah. It feels great to feel service again, and to sing in worship, even

Today wasn't so good. IT started off well enough, enjoyed my practical as usual, heh. But for some reason my Hospitality card went missing. I remember putting it in my pocket, as my friend also saw me do it. And.. its just not there. So.. praise the Lord, hopefully I'll find it tomorrow. I just all but ran out of water in the room, the same time someone snuck in on my milk, probably by mistake

Yesterday made many many new friends. Lost track of what I did with all of them. Let's see, from the Informatics batch we have Taufiq, Christine, Nick, Stanley, followed by Boonyeong and Limei (who reminds me a lot of Linghong, in mannerisms), then Myint Kay, Yimin and Connie, then 3 guys, Eng Teck, Roy and Tommy.

This evening in Aberystwyth could be considered pretty nasty. I left the train station where the coach dropped us (the rail had malfunctioned or something) and went up the hill, about 1.8 kilometres at about 10 to 15 degrees incline carrying a 20 kg luggage along with my usual backpack, and the luggage handle gave out about one quarter way up (probably a good thing, stopped me from trying to

This London morning wasn't so good. Despite getting sent to King's Cross and then they telling me its Paddington for Wales (halfway across London, which I headed for on foot), it was pretty nice and walking about and looking some parks until my luggage lost a wheel. Not fun.. my hand was trembling as I wrote this into my book. 20 kg luggage bag, or so, grr, no joke. Had a really nice bus driver

Met a pair of New Zealanders, pretty pleasant people. Craig and Emma, though they only got to know each other during the wait for the plane in the lounge. Interesting how people are, though a little hard to understand their english at times. Slept through most of night now... sun high up where we are, though it should only be six?

Just saw a short clip on models, didn't put on headset but still can make sense. Model life really not easy, see all the other Europeans wear so much in the cold snow landscape, but the models need take off and pose. Especially got one model, wear only bikini still need pose and then later LIE on the snow for photo shoot. Sheesh... but at least scenery nice. Bangkok looks really nice from the

Cell group meeting was nice. At first I was disappointed inside of me, but then.. something about the prayer and coming together really helped and after being ministered to by the Holy Spirit, I felt much better. Although I was a little upset I didn't have my verse ready, but I liked the sharing and the encouragement. I pray for the retention of friends, and the strength of the fellowship. In

I had a *wonderful* night out with Audrey, she is still as pretty and lovely as ever. Her smile was absolutely radiant as ever, and though she laughed less than she used to, its still a lot more than almost anyone else I know. Did some catching up, who would have thought after 4 years not having seen or heard from each other, that we would spend so much time together? It was great.. she even

Today went to my auntie's house and my brother and I sat down to have a talk about the spiritual state of our extended family. The situation is quite tense, I am reminded of the spiritual warfare that goes on in our family, as the Marikari group, perhaps influenced by the spirit of their beliefs, constantly sets persecution up against our Christian relatives. For me I feel that unity in prayer

Quite a separate note apart from "conventional wisdom" on responsibility, here's an interesting note that I received from a seminar not so long ago, on Thursday 2 weeks ago. Not the exact quote though... "Responsibility is to be able to obtain a Response." Sounds strange? That doesn't sound very responsible... indeed by itself this definition holds very little substance, but it is only when

Odd. My mood seems to be taking a plunge for some reason. I suspect I know why. It will clear itself up soon, I believe. It's irritating how weak I have become, to let some person, either intentionally or unintentionally wreck my mood in such a fashion. Perhaps I need to fix myself back up to be as before.. sigh.

This is way overdue, it was a new revelation from about 3 weeks ago, but it does me good to really find some time to set this down in writing on my laptop on my way home from a paper.

You know when people lose something close to them, they go all to bits, and get all upset and crummy? Well very few people actually look carefully and think if they are actually made all the better for it. And heh frankly, I'm not one of those people. I got clobbered over the head with it.

It is not night but you cannot see as the mist draws around you. The sound of the gravel under your feet is the only indication of what you are standing on. It seems to be getting dimmer you cannot see very much now as everything is obscured in that hazy, darkening grey. Uncertainty and fear freezes your footsteps.

I regret seeking such. There is no such thing for a person by another. Only for God, is there greater love with greater knowledge. The rest are m00t. Most people want friends only so they can have some attention. Or to help them and to make use of them in some way or another. Initiative Deadline extended to 1 Apr 2004.

Behind you are mountains, in a ring, mountains you have crossed, mountains that are real and solid and whose crevices you can see, whose peak you can look up to. A path leads to the lake. By its edge you stand, and it stands calm and still before you, stretching out towards the horizons. You cannot see the other end, but you must go over to the other side. There is no boat in sight.

I was reflecting to myself about a certain friend of mine, immediately after my cell group on a lesson about tongues. In the light of that lesson, I understand why it is very important for the very first manifestation of the Holy Spirit in our lives to be on our tongue. Even as Jesus said, it is what comes out of a man that makes him unclean, rather than what goes into him (Mk 7:18-23), and as

Here's a brief (well not so) reminder on what it means to be in Debt in Christ. (Rom 13:8) Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellow man has fulfilled the law. So the only debt due to Christians is essentially to love, and love one another. This is not always easy, and what exactly is love? What are some characteristics of it?

It's not about relying in self that we walk in Christ. In Christ is our refuge (Psa 142:6) and our strong tower (Psa 61:3), and this earthly shell is merely a vessel, a jar of clay to show that this power is from God and not from us (2

Here's my posting on the forum of my GEM Philosopy module to remind me what people really stand for :) Was in response to some "challenge", so I gather. 1) What is Man's fascination with the battle of good and evil? I believe that man's fascination comes from wanting to know which one he stands for, knowing himself. From knowing himself he wants to be consistent with what he knows himself to be.
