just read an e-mail... another reminder to be constantly thankful for our circumstances...
Living in Singapore itself is a blessing...
We complain about the books we have to study... but others don't even have a chance to read... others crave for this chance to equip themselves with this knowledge so as to improve their living standards...
We complain about the things we have... but others don't even have many things...
Rah...
I feel so selfish...
Lord... break me down from my selfish wants... and allow me to pursue your Kingdom's needs...

I recommend every christian to watch the show Facing the Giants...
I've never cried for so long... it's a really touching show... or maybe it's just because the state I'm at right now...
So many times we say we can't... but God can... we serve a big God... and He is there for us...
I'm really touched when I see the wife... who continues to have faith in God... who continues to love God... even when God din seem to answer her prayers to have children... even when the odds were against her... she still said "I will still love you..."
It's an amazing show.... amazing... and we have an amazing God...
"What's impossible with God? Nothing..."
Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

Contemplation
I just met Ailing today... and she was like telling me about being sensitive to God's signals... or his signs... like why did this thing happen at this time... what's the significance... and what is the thing to be inferred...
She was talking about another issue... but interestingly enough... after she mentioned this concept of sensitivity... I realized that I was placed with an issue at hand... and it seems as though... the events that have unraveled... points me to one direction...
I do not want to be the one to hurt someone else...again... I want to be a man that stands up to what he says... for he has felt the downside of it himself... A man that does not want others to experience what he has so painfully experienced himself...
I guess it's time... for the love of another... and for reasons greater than myself... to make the decision... and be firm with it... (:
Lord... I hope this is what you want... and I hope I can do it....

It's been very long since I've last posted...
I no longer know what to write anymore...
Yeah... I just had a terrific trip to Perth... but it seems like... there are so many questions left unanswered in my head...
And sometimes... when you bask in the serene suburbs... plenty of thoughts fill your mind... It's almost intimidating... It's almost... wistful...
Yeah... been exposed to a new community recently... PUA...an acronym they coin themselves ... it is short for Pick-up Artists... how i got this exposure? through non other than the international bestseller titled "THE GAME", written by Neil Strauss.
Well... it was the book that kept me preoccupied during empty moments of the trip... for example... on the coach, late at night, on the plane, and so on... it was quite interesting... the way he picked up this form of 'art'... and how he made it of his own... i couldn't really take the way they worked their artform... and thus skipped all the way to the back... because I heard of people saying that there's some sort of a disappointing twist in the end...
but to me... it wasn't disappointing... I got to see that he actually ended up with a girl that he developed feelings for... that it wasn't just all about picking up women for the sake of it... or worse still... just for the joy of physical intimacy... Thankfully for the ending... I'm willing to read through the whole book... to further understand the kind of impact that it had on his life... that this man was willing to give up... the kind of authority over most women he met... that he could have nearly whoever he wanted... (One of the PUAs even picked up Paris Hilton) and yet he gave it all up for the love of one woman...
Okay... just some thoughts from reading that book... I hope I can finish that book by tomorrow... but I highly doubt it... anyway... this leads me perfectly into listing out the goals I have for my holidays... well... I've decided to finish up 3 fiction books... "The Game" (even though they say it's non-fiction) , "To kill a Mocking Bird", and "Tuesdays with Morrie"... I also want to finish 3 non-fiction books... still undecided on the books though...
Hmmm... yeah... there are still many things on my mind... and it's bugging me... owell... got to overcome them slowly i guess... rah... will blog about it next time... have a happy holidays everyone...
