There are.

There are times when we want to say somethings out loud, to confess, haha I've got plenty which I still won't tell to anyone 'cept GOD. Well, He knows it before I confess, so I don't confess my thoughts. Only admit them. Admit and confess are two different things.

It's something to which one hopes it would be certain before telling out it's thoughts. Days will always pass on, and yes, it's silly to say remind others that the days pass by quickly or slowly. Time always goes on, no matter whether you want it to slow down or fasten up.

Some take their time to speak up. So what can one do to speed things up? What I really want to say is that, SOME THINGS HAVE TO BE BELIEVED SO THAT THEY CAN BE SEEN. I've said this over and over again I believe. Learnt that from the author of Many Waters. Don't really bother to remember the spelling of her name. I guess in whatever you want, you wait for GOD's signal.

I've always.

I've always been thinking, don't get it wrong, other than sleeping. Even when I drift off to sleep. GOD's really marvelous. How should I put it? I think of the really weird stuff, how things would be like whenever I could have changed directions from a turning point or crossroad. There were and will always be times when I wished I said something better to others when having conversations. Of how I could say so much more things but I don't know why I restrained them sometimes; what I wanted to say turned out a different way. Like how you want to apologise to someone and then you think (you cannot stop) of how you're going to say it, probably in the most touching and sincere way (sometimes dramatic too). Funny how it can turn out when you suddenly lose your presumed say and sputter only phrases.
There will always be many possibilities and many turns. However, we create unchangeable life stories on the spot to which there will be consequences. Action, reaction. It's indeed good to daydream sometimes (would want to say at an appropriate timing?), letting your mind wander off and find a tinge of inspiration. Every day is neither a lucky nor an unlucky day. Every day is a blessed day to which has plenty of chances and possibilities. Opportunities come! Oh, and we will do our very BEST in whatever we do which is GOD's way too! SO THERE!

Dedications to my dear friends!

I know, I know. This Blog shouldn't be too personal, BUT! This is a testimony of mine about my Sec 2 friendship life and I want to declare it! Partly because my dear friends had both written dedications to me and the other. And Cheryl Yeo! I won't forget you, though I must admit I've been so lazy as to take out a pen and write letters or even email you. Sorry if you are reading this man (I'll make one for you one day, a really special one, won't forget this promise I make)! LOVE YOU GALS ALWAYS! Right, let's start!

Firstly, Alicia Tan!
Man! You weren't my type of friend
I wanted to hang out with in Primary School.
We were of 2 different worlds!
But let's not talk of the silly past
as no one's perfect!
Dude! I don't know!
But when I was in Sec 1 and
we were in different classed then,
you changed because of GOOD Priscilla Lim!
Love her for changing your ways!
LOVE you for what and who you really are!
Even though you can be clumsy and
such a health and clean dear old freak!
I love a friend who's like that you know!
It makes me think twice of whether to eat
rice which dropped on the table!
Tee hee! You just make me learn how to be
CHILDISH and RELAXED at times!
I never imagined I would
actually talk babyish in front of you gals
and be crazy and lame and full of laughter!
You are my MISS CURIOUS!!!
And Miss blur too!
Whenever you have a book in
your hands,
I always wonder how long you'll take to finish it!
HAHA! But I know and believe that you always take the
time to read such good books!
And lady!
Don't keep changing your
Blog add. 'k?
Got to relink you time and time again!
Funny you!
Will always love your Blog though!
Sorry whenever I make a fuss
out of something small and
you got to pacify me
as though I'm a baby!
You are one miracle girl!

Secondly, KATELYN!!!

My dear Kit-kat!
A dear friend whom I first talked to in Sec 1!
Someone whom I barely know!
Actually became my funny and dearest friend!
I know that I've been crazy sometimes,
upsetting you,
makin' you cry such that
you won't talk to me...
*Sigh*
BUT! You will always return to normal
just as a kettle would cool down somehow!
I know that you know you have been
a temperamental and sensitive child
AND YET! I can SEE that
you have changed!
You know what!
Although there are times when we argue over silly stuff,
you COOL DOWN DARN FAST!
I'm sincerely sorry
for what I've done
be it my fault or yours
or even both
even though I've done them over and over
last time and even now...
TEE HEE!
Every time I see both of you gals in Choir,
I know I will survive even though I'm
in Alto and you in Sops!
I feel sad sometimes that you gals
aren't with me during sectionals.
HAHA! Whenever I'm stuck
in my work
You Katelyn, the smarty-pants,
will help me!
Oh LADY!
How FUNNY and RIDICULOUS (yet make sense)
you can be at times when
I ought to relax and
take things easy!
You'll tell me that!
All of us can be childish people at times
when it's okay!
And of course
when you glare
I feel scared, haha!
Don't know if you mean it sometimes
but things always return to norm.
Thanks for always CHEERING ME UP!
YET ANOTHER MIRACLE IN MY LIFE!!!

THANKS ALWAYS FOR BEING WITH ME THROUGH THICK AND THIN AS A GOOD BESTIE FRIEND!!! YOU ARE ALL ANGELS WHOM GOD SENT!!! YOU KNOW I CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU GALS!!! I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN EVER HAVE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS IN THE WORLD!

AND READERS OUT THERE! I CHOOSE TO SHOW OFF THESE TWO FRIENDS OF MINE TO THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD AS A GOOD TESTIMONY!

Do I sound strange?

Just wondering- A short testimony.

Different from what I thought about things last year... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... yeah ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ever since the Encounter... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... guess what?! I paid my tithes 'cause it's actually a sin not to... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... I got pocket money right? That's considered as my pay... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... been thinking about it ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... my life has been so much better! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... I don't know why ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... but it gets better and better every moment ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... of my life!

Let's see...

I wonder if anyone can give me answers to these questions I'm asking:

  1. What happened to those people who died before Jesus came down to Earth and became our bridge to Heaven?
  2. What about babies which didn't survive?
  3. Who created GOD? Can he just be there already as the Bible said that He is the Alpha and the Omega? I guess it's just that simple. Trust Him anyways.
  4. If we are eternally with GOD in Heaven, then will we ever get bored as time goes on and on? Will there be a cycle, something like a reincarnation? No, there won't 'cause the Bible says so. I pray that GOD will give us the unexpected.
  5. Why did GOD create us? How can one say that He loves us so he created us? How can one love something before creating it? Perhaps the idea of creating one. I must have heard wrongly or the person must've interpreted wrongly. Anyway, all I need to know is that He loves us above all. He's the only one you can totally rely on and be proud to show off!
  6. Outside this space, outside this galaxy and outside this universe, what else has GOD created?
  7. Does GOD actually know the future? NO, I guess not. Fate does not exist in Him. We are the ones making the future. We cannot see the future, only predict it. What's past is past. The present becomes the past too, so does the future. If future was possible, there should be visitors from the future. Then some reasons could be that we can't see and touch them or even hear them.
  8. Should there be real ghosts? NO, there are only Satan's followers and himself deceiving us. Those who claim to see ghosts are mistaken. We don't linger on Earth, we either go up to Heaven or down to Hell eternally.
  9. In whatever we do, sins or not, there will always be consequences to follow only in the one life we have now. There is no hell for us after death for a short while.
  10. There are no big sins nor small sins. A person lying is as sinful as a person murdering another. So why give death sentences? Then, will the consequences be the same for all our sins?
  11. Will there be a NEW HEAVEN and a NEW WORLD when this present world ends?
  12. Can Satan ever change and return to GOD? Can everyone eventually return to GOD? Or is the word "Satan" just a word for the absence of GOD's love? Or is Satan actually one person? Isn't it sad that Satan can't return to GOD? This is also one proof that GOD allows you to control your own life. He only loves you, provides for you and guides you.

In concl.

In all these questions I ask everyone who reads this post, I still and will always believe in GOD no matter what happens soon. Put all our trust in GOD and follow his flow. There are times when we have to believe to be able to see.

Spreading this:

Science and God. An interesting article

The DIFFERENCE
'Science and God'

Let me explain the problem science has with Jesus Christ. The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.
'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'
'Yes sir,' the student says.
'So you believe in God?'
'Absolutely.'
'Is God good?'
'Sure! God's good.'
'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'
'Yes.'
'Are you good or evil?'
'The Bible says I'm evil.'
The professor grins knowingly.
'Aha! The Bible!' He considers for a moment. 'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?'
'Yes sir, I would.'
'So you're good...!'
'I wouldn't say that.'
'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't.'
The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?' The student remains silent. 'No, you can't, can you?' the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.
'Let's start again, young fella Is God good?'
'Er...yes,' the student says.
'Is Satan good?'
The student doesn't hesitate on this one. 'No.'
'Then where does Satan come from?'
The student : 'From...God...'
'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?'
'Yes, sir.'
'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything,correct?'
'Yes.'
'So who created evil?' The professor continued, 'If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according tothe principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.'
Without allowing the student to answer, the professor continues:'Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?'
The student: 'Yes.'
'So who created them?'
The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. 'Who created them?'
There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized.
'Tell me,' he continues onto another student.
'Do you believe inJesus Christ, son?'
The student's voice is confident: 'Yes, professor, I do.'
The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?'
'No sir. I've never seen Him'
'Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?'
'No, sir, I have not.'
'Have you ever actually felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of JesusChrist, or God for that matter?'
'No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.'
'Yet you still believe in him?'
'Yes.'
'According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?'
'Nothing,' the student replies. 'I only have my faith.'
'Yes, faith,' the professor repeats. 'And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.'
The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of his own. 'Professor, is there such thing as heat?'
'Yes,' the professor replies. 'There's heat.'
'And is there such a thing as cold?'
'Yes, son, there's cold too.'
'No sir, there isn't.'
The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain. 'You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees belowzero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat.You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.'
Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.
'What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?'
'Yes,' the professor replies without hesitation. 'What is night if it isn't darkness?'
'You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is theabsence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?'
The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him.This will be a good semester. 'So what point are you making, young man?'
'Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.'
The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time.'Flawed? Can you explain how?'
'You are working on the premise of duality,' the student explains. 'You argue that there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it. Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?'
'If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do'
'Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?'
The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as here realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.
'Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but apreacher?' The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the Commotion has subsided. 'To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean.' The student looks around the room. 'Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?' The class breaks out into laughter. 'Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, touched or smelled the professor's brain? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due respect, sir. So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?'
Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable. Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. 'I guess you'll have to take them on faith.'
'Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life,' the student continues. 'Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?'
Now uncertain, the professor responds, 'Of course, there is. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil. ' To this the student replied, 'Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.' The professor sat down. Pass this on if you have faith in God. If not, still pass it on for it's a good story!-- I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. - C. S. Lewis

Our Hearts.

People like to say that once our hearts are broken by something, it can be bandaged but there will always be the scar to prove that the matter hasn't been entirely forgotten. Just like splintered wood, just like torn paper, just like broken glass, just like time cannot be rewind. BUT I say! Hack care about all these things! Our hearts aren't splintered wood, not even torn paper or broken glass! Haven't you heard of recycled paper? Don't you also know that broken glass can be melted back to a liquid and moulded into another piece of glass? We, however are not supposed to think that we are like any other Earth materials. We are souls encased in bodies, souls which follow GOD. So trust GOD to make you reborned! Like water and Holy batisms! Remeber that the LORD forgets your sinful deeds; He doesn't keep records of them, He loves you. Your so called enemies who are people weren't born to annoy you in the first place. It doesn't matter who started the hate game first. Loving and accepting them is way easier in the end, though they may turn you down. You may lose your face...heh.

A Tad Bit Too Personal.

If anyone passes this Blog, one can notice how much I've changed (or rather, I see the change), I used to write more about my personal life in here when I first started out. Didn't realise how late I've been in the ways of technology if you know what I mean deeply, but that's another story. Reading my past posts makes me feel queasy as I've been less mature back then. I felt like deleting them. I decided not to, so whenever I look back I'll know how much I've progressed or even regressed.




I must still say I'm not yet as wise as I want to be. Life have trial and errors; people fall to pick up themselves. And yes, I'm only a few light years, I have a long road ahead. I realise people think differently and yet similarly from me. What I think about and do is not understandable to the rest and yet they accept me. Vice Versa.



We are all equally different and special and yet the same. We are all human beings, created by GOD, we have feelings, we have life stories to tell, we have consciences which cannot be taken over entirely, it will be returned eventually. We control our lives and minds, others can fill you with fear and threats, they could perhaps physically control you but not for long even if you die. We are the ones making the decisions on how we lead our lives.



Even if people that you aren't a leader or any sort of community or group, you should know and remember that you're a leader of your lives, otherwise, why would people say that you lead your life? Your life is the most important responsibility you have. If you don't be a leader of your life, how can you even be a leader for something else? There is no such thing as FATE. There is only our DESTINIES to which we can choose and lead.

Just confirming myself, taking away misunderstandings.

Things to confirm...I guess this is personal opinion...not very much related to GOD's word.

1st point!

People are not what they really seem to be when you go near them even if you see their attitudes from the way they interact with you. So, geeks! Goody-goody-two-shoes! Don't think that "those popular people" are bimbos, and etc...



In fact people change! Yeah! I have a friend who used to hang out in the wrong crowd such that she broke school rules and so on. LOVE her always! She's so special and different from what she used to be. I never want to blame her then friends nor she herself! They are all people! Whatever their thoughts were back then are definitely different from mine, I don't understand why they would want to do some things that I won't do BUT you can't blame them! We teenagers are young! This is the stage where we make mistakes (and yes! They are truly mistakes) and learn from them! Even if we repeat them!



And seeing other schoolmates' Blogs, they don't write bad stuff, or they try not to. Oh boy! Can't wait to catch someone doing such a bad thing...uh huh! Just don't comment, if not, you are adding salt to the wounds...can you imagine how cruel it is to write something bad even if it's true about the person? Accept them for who they are naturally! People commit suicide because of misunderstanding! So if people better think more than 4 times whether they should add anything or not. Let's think and act in GOD's way people!



You know, some Bloggers like to say that they are a Child Of God in their profile, and in their posts, they say things which aren't reflecting their "Child Of GOD" description. They probably think it's nice to add that phrase...ironic huh? Pray that they will be one, one day! On the brighter side, some Bloggers are really Children Of GOD!!! Not saying myself by the way, I don't write that I'm a "Child Of GOD".



2nd point!

We should not only live our lives at the fullest but also overflowingly. We don't just get a good education, a good job, a good salary, a good family, good health, peace and happiness do we?! This way, everything would be so boring, after accomplishing your goals, what else do you want to do? Something else? You will probably want to resign or retire and watch your family grow up and bigger? Go out shopping, eating, reading, surfing the 'net, doing hobbies and picking new ones, Blogging, travelling? It's even worse for those without kin. I realised that the best jobs or work or whatever you call it are these:


  • Teachers! Because of teachers, we have presidents, because of teachers, we have doctors, because of teachers, we even have criminals...not a good thought but, it's the teachers who bring us into the adult world so that we can decide, be it on their influences or not, for ourselves on what we want. Teachers are also humans, some teach rather poorly and ought to learn from other teachers, perhaps, their teachers were poor in teaching them, thus they have become what their teachers were like. Teachers are like tides and students are like boats, the former can push the latter forward or backward.

  • Doctors! Basically they save lives.

  • One thing better than doctors are Biomedical scientists! They find the cures and make the medcine dude! People should thank these scientists too but they are often forgotten...prove me wrong then!

  • Missionaries and Pastors!!! This is one of the most fulfiling jobs on the Earth! GOD works through them and miracles happen every moment! Being one, you get to see miracles happening and lives touched by GOD's love and words. Whether you stay in China, Africa or even Vienna, there are people everywhere who needs Jesus and wants Him in their lives! This is truly one good example of living your life, changing the atmosphere in others' lives! Got it?!

3rd point!

Don't think that after live there is only Heaven, I personally believe that GOD gives us a better and a very unexpected yet simple surprise! Even with I what I teach myself about expecting the unexpected, I can only expect GOD to give me a way better future, especially when the World is going to end soon, very soon such that I may not even have the chance to get hitched and have a family. I don't think I'll even be able to graduate! Teehee!

So some may ask this, "Then why should we bother to aim for our goals such as getting the top for so-and-so when the World is going to end soon anyway?". I shall gladly respond that you don't ever aim for the TOP, you just do your very BEST in everything that's right and pleasing in GOD's eyes and for yourself too.

Listen good! Even if you know the world ends tomorrow and you're having a mini spelling test today, you still do your very BEST and give all glory, honours and praise filled with lots of love to GOD! This is for all He has done in your life, carrying you through your burdens though some of us may forget sometimes.

And people! Although I'm talking in general, I'm serious here. In all that I think and believe may not be right or pleasing to your minds so pardon me.
