Recent thoughts...

Arh... its been a long time since I've updated this blog, ok truth is I was free since 7th November, just been playing too much to updated my blog, or more rather nothing happening....but when nothing happens I will start thinking of a lot of things, and sooooo....here are the a lot of things I've been thinking about....

First off, have any of you noticed if you have totally no idea or no understanding of something and start commenting on it what will you look like.....well, you look like a Fool....it is rather a pity as well, come to think of it, how are you able to tell a Fool that he/she is really a Fool? Hmm...its just like trying to tell a Schizophrenic that he/she is mad...of course Schizophrenics are not really mad, but yah you get my idea.
Secondly, doing things to please others, sound very unfair right? Doing things to please your parents, even though it might make you unhappy; unfair? Before anybody even think if it is unfair, why not think how many things have our parents done to please us. Seriously if you can't be bothered with serving others, why should others be bothered with serving you, if you serve expecting returns; why do you serve in the first place?

Ok these are things just pop-ed up into my mind when I was pissing, as you can really see, sometimes, I just have too much time...

Now for something more relevent, I find it strange though that it is at this time now, that I suddenly start to "regain" contact with all my past poly friends...strange isn't it, when I'm back in Singapore I can't really contact them, or at least most of them, no matter how hard I try, but when I'm not in the country, they just keep poping up non-stop...
Ok I think I'll answer their question in a more direct way(incase any of you are reading my blog), I'll be typing in a 1st person view on it.
The common thing most of you said/asked me was "You've matured a lot all these times..", "I can see you've changed a lot." "What made you change?", the answer I gave all of you was the same, chrisitan life, some believed, some don't because I've been a chrisitan for a rather long time, so why change now?. For those of you who believed well, you can just read on, for those who don't I hope you'll understand after reading this.

The question which I post back is "What makes a chrisitan?" or "What does it mean to be a christian?" The common understanding of a chrisitan is well, goes to church on sunday, read the bible, prays a lot, puts faith in something invisible, or some people will even call chrisitans weirdos. This can be food for thought for chrisitnas as well, going to church, reading the bible, praying, all these are things that even non-christians can do, so what makes us as christians different?
I would say this now, I was never really a chrisitan until, I started to seek God, things like putting God as the main focus, focusing on Godlyness, christ likeness...and it wasn't until like 2 years ago that this started to happen. You see the logic here is "the faith that bring about you salvation should be the same faith the brings about your transformation." otherwise its like saying "I want God/Jesus in my life, but I still want full control over it.", its like saying you want somebody to change your life and you still want things to be the same, which of course pretty much just dosen't add up. So well, as the song goes "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His rightousness and all these things shall be added unto you..."
Hmm of course the logic presented above was a bit more towards the calvinistic stand point and does point to the trinity as well, feel free to clear these 2 points with me as I do feel blogs are not a very good place to lay out doctrine.

I guess there's a lot more to explain and some things I cannot explain as well, but yah this is pretty much it...

Food for thought

This is a story, of course not be me lah, I've not reached the stage where I'm so brillent yet...

A man is walking along a very long road,
this road is very uneven and some times can be very very narrow.
So he finally came along this narrow parth, suddenly he slips and falls...
He knocks onto rocks try despiritly to grab hold of something to hold on to...
Half way through he finally manages to catch hold of a branch, a very strong brunch in fact.
Of course, holding on to the branch is a lot better than falling into something that he dosne't know,
But the man knows that he cannot remain there forever...
So he started to shout for help "Is there anybody UP there?"
Soon enough a voice from above replied..."Yes?" "Is sombody down there?"
The man replied : "Yes, I need help, can you help me?"
The voice : "I can help you, but you must trust me."
The man : "Ok, I'll do Anything, just help me. Tell me what I must do."
The voice : "Let go..."
The man paused for a minute and continued to shout : "Is there anybody else up there?"

Ok end of story, any thoughts, anybody learnt anthing? I'm not turning this into an online discussion, anything send me email or ask me when I get back.....

End of Sem post....

Its the end of sem...I've made it so far...yet not I alone....for I know who watches over me all this time.

So here I am now, crossed between comfort of the house and the air condition of the school, for those of you who don't know why, well its summer now in australia, and its just getting hotter. I guess I choose the school in the end, here I am now sitting here alone in the Mac Lab, listening to my iPod(Rebecca St. James).
I'm not free yet, I still have 4 more assignments to go, I'm just taking a break to allow my parents to feel at ease so they know I'm getting enough rest.

Time spent here in Uni(and in Australia) was and is and will always be time well spent, by saying this phrase I also say it depends on self to know what your here for and to set the objective. Sometimes, its just a matter of going, doing without know the purpose behind the big picture and have faith in whoever is guiding you.
I've gotten to know more people, more friends from not just 1 country. Yes, YES, hot chicks as well....(looks at Jeremy and Joshua), ok lah I know some really cool guys as well lah. Know so much more about multimedia now, learnt so much more about other things, deep down inside me I do wish I could learn evenmore but I'm starting to get home sick, and soon will be the time for me be back in SG. So as much as I am looking forward to go back to Singapore, I am looking forward to come back next sem as well.

Here's a picture of my tutorial group.


I'm sure a lot of people will want to know what I'm thinking or how I'm feeling now, I not used to saying things from my point of view, however there is always somewhere that I can find something that expresses my feelings, so read on and find what I have to say now......

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth
understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. - Proverbs 3:13-14(KJV)

Don't expect anything....

Oi I'm too busy lah, no mood and no time to update my blog...

So this is as much as an update you guys will get for this week...

I'm busy....very busy..

Big problem, not my problem
Small problem, solve it yourself
Anything within my scope, look for my group leader or project partner
Anything not within my scope, don't bother me
If you cannot find me don't bother finding...
If you found my don't bother me....
If you bother to, tell others not to bother me...

Hopefully I'll have the time and mood to update this sometime during the week...

Lets keep each other in prayer, I'm sure I'm not the only busy person now...

Have a nice day.. :)

Holiday is over...

Ok, the holidays are over....Finally...or was I hoping that it would never end....

Cause here comes the projects...I hate to admit it, but deep down inside me I know there is only one way I can work now...

Goodbye Seng....Hello Chol....

My family has came and left already...I look back now and remember the day when I left the airport in Singapore, crying, praying, looking at the people around, sad to leave yet happy as a new chapter of my life starts, now how much longer before I'm back....just slightly more than a months time....so what have I learnt here, what have I done here...seriously I have no idea...
"Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it" Palms 139:6

I guess going to for camps and talks has really changed me again, mixing with christians and remembering how I became what I am today...I won't say its bad at all, in fact I just notice more things get done or I just more comfortable with my dominent character....
The only reason I'm living like that would be due to the fact that I'm in a new place, but getting used to it, I guess I've just made it one of my natural environments as well...
And yet now that I've gotten here I can't say I did it all on my own..it must be whats inside me...once again He working, He pretty much didn't stop working, just that I was too busy caught up with my owe life to notice His works.
"But by the grace of God I am what I am..."1 Cor 15:10....

I find it strange now that I'm quoting the same verses that I quoted before I left...have I fallen that much that I needed such a reminder?
