I think I'm falling ill, with all the frustrating lesson material..
And i'm not up at this time for fun.. I just spent two hours doing one question.

Current events
Hello everyone...
I'm in the midst of fixing stuff (again)...
How do I describe the current situation? I feel like i'm in the eye of the storm.. I definitely know things are raging around me, but I feel oddly calm, and collected.
I have recently been convicted, again, that the crux of the entire matter is back again to they endless cycle of humility, submission and obedience... Of what use is the outward talent and gifts if they are not supported by a very real and strong holiness and intimacy with the Lord?
I don't believe in claiming to be someone I'm not..
So its time for fixing... And perhaps when people give of themselves to the Lord's business, in broken submission, revival is not far off.
Onward.

crawling
So. There are problems in the ministry, my math is getting insane again and I am actually sensing that I'm getting emotional (which is the rarest of all, sadly).
one at a time then.
who knows what will happen next?
onward.

million and one consequences
I've been thinking about a million and one things (again)...
It seems that, in the christian walk, God is always calling out to us and beckoning us to take up the roles and responsibilities that He has called us towards.. And yet it always feels like its so hard to do... but at the end of the day there is this very real and strong hope that God is always providing for us, equipping us. I say hope, but this hope is not a wistful longing, but a powerful confidence that God is who He is.
There is thus no longer any reason to think that we are not worthy, for God himself has defined us to be worthy. Which one of us then has the right to think any lower of ourselves than God does of us, when He is the one who redeemed us.
You were bought at a price.. Don't you think that He would know that price full well, having paid that exorbitant amount for you?
Tremendous consequences.. for words simply cannot describe the full blast I feel when I think of the word 'redeemed'. Funny how we often sing it in songs like My Redeemer Lives, and yet gloss over it..
That hints to me that our mental picture could be extremely myopic. Imagine the raw unharnessed potential of every single believer. But lest we run ourselves in circles, it would do us good to remember that everything has its basis in rock solid humble obedience.
(Joh 14:15) If you love Me, keep My commandments.
---------
Just a reflection more for myself actually... Something I keep having to remind myself about, even though it speaks to clearly to me. Maybe some of you guys can read it, and be encouraged too..
I wanted to post something very nice about circles and triangles that I learnt in my lecture today, but i think it will have to wait... At least until I can find a not-so-boring way to present it...
(Its really cool!)
(really!!)
(i don't think you've seen it before!)
(i'm really tired as you can tell)
I found out recently that I actually consider my room a very protected and secret place.... Its a place where I just shut the door and sit in my fort of a table and work.. However even in the midst of the emotional comfort of my dungeon, I think I will try to surrender all my thoughts to Him.. There's no sense thinking about things that have no real value... Why not focus on Him? (easier said than done but i guess you would understand the motivation for the effort)
So... like so often I've written before...
Onward.

Learning processes
After some deliberation I have decided to blog about how I learn and a bit about how I think. Perhaps this may help some of us.
When I was younger I was kinda pampered and kept in a very safe environment, and things just happened as they did.
When I got to school, however, things came as somewhat of a shock to me, and i had to change my mindset over some time..
Some things I have clarified in my head. The parts in brackets can be read later, as they are a rephrasing of the statements given. This should enhance our reflection.
1) Anyone can be right. (I can be wrong) (So can you)
This is not very evident. We usually dump information from people we dislike. However, we have to clench our teeth sometimes and accept that even people we utterly despise can say something right.
Yes. Any idiot can be right, and if your pride is in the way you will end up looking feeling ashamed or dumping truth.
2) Being right does not mean that people will agree with you. (I may disagree with people who are right)
This is more obvious than statement (1). Many times we KNOW we are right, but some people just don't want to listen. Often, people need to understand why you are right, or 'get' it.
Understanding takes on certain forms.
Some people need logical steps for understanding. Some people are not concerned with logic and are more concerned with emotional support.
It is possible to feel that you 'get it' without actually thinking it through. That means it is possible for everyone to 'get it', agree with you and you can still be wrong. Numbers don't quite matter here.
My point here is to lay out the differences in the way people 'get it'. Not to claim superiority of either one. Equating logic with emotional support, however, can lead to disastrous consequences.
3) Being shown to be wrong does not mean that people can do it right. (Just cause i point out wrong, it doesn't mean it will change)
This has links to (2). Many times when I carry out a task I can see which parts are done wrongly. However, that doesn't mean someone knows how to do it right.
4) Doing things wrong could have some causes, roots and explanations. (There could be underlying causes for my behaviour)
Sow a habit, reap a ........
You get the idea.
5) Doing things right could also have causes, roots and explanations. (There may be things that right someone's behaviour)
Note that (3), (4) and (5) say that if someone shows me that I did something wrong.. it stops there. unless I actually think about why I behave that way and work out the causes for it.
I think this lends clues for our personal growth.
(1) and (2) are very effective when we listen to sermons or talks. Are we taking in the truth?
(3), (4) and (5) are very effective when we have just learnt a lesson. How will that lesson change us?
I hope this makes sense.. My mathematical proofs in school are quite poor, so hopefully it all works out.

My room
At long last I finally got down to doing it..
(sorry mandia)
Its in a total mess as you can see.
My fav part is that the laptop is by the side. This frees up my writing space totally.
On a side note.. I've been thinking very quickly these few days. Its either the massive amount of issues coming along to hit me, or that I'm feeling less stressed and more adjusted.
Perhaps its a mix of both.
School beckons. 5 core mods, 1 gem.

Redang
I didn't say much about this, but I almost lost my phone on my trip!
We woke up at about 7 in the morning after an all-night bus trip, and I groggily followed samson out of the bus, almost tripping on myself, when suddenly I had a mental alarm go off in my head
CRAP!
something's wrong.
what's wrong?
i don't know.
something isn't quite right.
The moment I patted my hands on my side pockets I knew what had happened.. I left my phone on the bus seat..
But to cut a long story short, I had kinda given up on the phone and made up my mind to still have a good time.. We were walking around waiting before checking in when suddenly we spotted one of the guys who was on our bus
"Hey one of you left your phone on the bus right? Yeah its with me wait here.."
whoa. Thats like.. 1 in a million...
I won't spoil the testimony, but I'll just show some pictures.
The wind is amazingly strong on the top deck of the boat, but Calvin's hair is impeccable. Calvin is seriously the coolest man.....
The great naval general Samson inspects his boat.
This one doesn't quite need a caption.
Guys before snorkelling
Girls before snorkelling
The cool guy (Calvin not me) in action again
Chilling at the beach listening to the live band
Estella looking like she's about to be kissed by a toilet brush.
The weirdest ferry ride on the planet, only because of the videos they played during the ride. Yuck. I want to dip my head in dettol.
But all in all it was a great trip.. The sand is really amazing and you'll start to wonder why you even bothered bringing slippers..
If only I stayed in a place like that..

Off to Redang..
Its been a bit hard to pack.. I don't know.. I probably don't need very many things..
Hmn.
Oh well...
Maybe I feel that there's lots to things undone.. Things to accomplish..
Never mind.... I quote Takeshi Kaneshiro in Red Cliff:
'我要冷静一下'
Probably what I need most right now..
Wish me a safe journey!

Everyone makes mistakes
Hello all..
I'm typing this because I was thinking and mulling over something I learnt on Sunday. Basically some people messed up and well, now many people now know they messed up..
As a result of their guilt they have since taken to shying away from everyone, and a lot of us haven't seen them in a long while.. i wanted to say 'As a result of their mistake' but that would be inaccurate. Mistakes don't make you shy away. Guilt and self-pity might be the culprits..
In any disaster there HAS to be an effective way to help. (i believe so, at least) Or at least there are multiple effective ways to help.
(For those of us familiar with the Lagrangian formalism of classical mechanics, this constraint part will sound very similar)
Considering the various circumstances under which the mishap occurred, there are constraints which we have to consider. Perhaps there is a death in the family. Perhaps there is a financial crisis. Perhaps there is a grave illness. Perhaps there is a lack of family ties. The list goes on.
These constraints serve to limit the avenues of approach. Also, they might lend a clue to areas which we have to be sensitive in.
After considering the constraints, we must study the system. What happened?
Is it totally despicably unforgivable?
C.S. Lewis mentions in Mere Christianity that :
'It is a terrible thing that the worst of all the vices can struggle itself into the very centre of our religious life. But you can see why. The other, and less bad, vices come from the devil working on us through our animal nature. But this does not come through our animal nature at all. It comes direct from Hell. It is purely spiritual: consequently it is far more subtle and deadly. For the same reason, Pride can often be used to beat down the simpler vices. Teachers, in fact, often appeal to a boy's Pride, or, as they call it, his self-respect, to make him behave decently: many a man has overcome cowardive, or lust, or ill-temper, by learning to think that they are beneath his dignity - that is, by Pride. The devil laughs. He is perfectly content to see you becoming chaste and brave and self-controlled provided, all the time, he is setting up in you the Dictatorship of Pride - just as he would be quite ontent to see your chilblains cured if he was allowed, in return, to give you cancer. For Pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense'
John Ortberg, in Everybody's Normal Till You Get To Know Them mentions that historically there are two categories for sin. Sins of the flesh and sins of the spirit. Regarding the latter:
'Rarely does a church exercise discipline over one of these sins. If you hear a pastor having to leave a church for "moral reasons," you can be pretty sure it's not pride. Churches in our day are not usually scandalised by sins like arrogance or self-righteousness.'
And afterward he concludes:
'We are most scandalised by sins of the flesh. Jesus was most scandalised by sins of the spirit.'
I don't think I'll further the discussion, because at this point it is first apparent that we can now leave all judgment in God's hands, for we are all in no position to throw stones.
This is the time when we get to show the mercy that was given to us. Free.

Cautiously stalking.... planning...... praying...
I just had a long long talk with my mom.. It appears that the storms are looming darker and closer, but I take heart in the fact that the house with foundations laid upon solid rock may be shaken but remains intact. I don't say this with foolish idealism. I say this staring at a whole bunch of crap, in the face.. It could be that things are not that bad. I would however choose to overdo things and do things with paranoid attention to detail.
I know better, however than to get overexcited and act rashly. I already did that once, with probably disastrous results. I stand by what I said, but i should have refined how I did it.
Pondering about that, I realise that this may be an extremely long process. God change our hearts.
Please do keep my family in prayer..
If you realise, I am not writing this stuff because it is a cool way to blog... i can't honestly say I'm a staunch soldier standing tall in the face of all this. I am kinda trembling for the most part, desperately wishing I could hide.. But I sense God's hand in this.. even though I never claim to sense things like that..

Nerve-wrackingly-drained
There are times in your life when you KNOW you can't handle certain things. Some things are beyond your power to comprehend, let alone change.
On the outside you shudder and shake, and you swallow past a parched mouth, and try to stand tall.
On the inside you start to wonder whether its all worth it.
But in your head you you hope. you cling on to what you hear.. that it is all worth it.
I'd like to ask all of you to keep my family and I in prayer, as I probably begin the most craziest project of my life...
I want to make an effort to repair my family.
And I guess that isn't even the right way to phrase it...
I don't know.. Right now I have this insane adrenalin rush, where I want to fix it all with my bare hands. But at the same time this mad amount of grief where i wonder how things could have gone so wrong.
I am afraid. I really am, because I have no idea how this all will turn out.. It will probably be no big event or anything of that sort.. but I pray God changes hearts, hopefully starting from mine..

Powerful sermon
Today, Dr Tan Kim Huat from Trinity Theological College came to speak on Galatians...
Gal 6:7-10 MKJV
(7) Do not be deceived, God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows, that he also will reap.
(8) For he sowing to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh. But he sowing to the Spirit will reap life everlasting from the Spirit.
(9) But we should not lose heart in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not faint.
(10) So then as we have time, let us work good toward all, especially toward those of the household of faith.
Wow.. It was a good lesson and it will probably stick with me for a long time..
I can foresee myself obsessing over this and pondering for a few days haha...

Warning - emo overdose...
I bought the 杨宗伟 CD!
For those of us who don't know, he's a guy who took part in the 绝对 Superstar competition in.. Taiwan i think..
He didn't win cause he quit halfway.. Apparently he lied when he put down his age in the application forms and so he pulled himself out..
But his performance was... well... you can see it for yourself la..

back from the dead
Hello world... Its been a loooong time since i posted.. and yup its the holidays!
So far i'll be brief since its weird to blog after so long..
Things that have happened since my exams ended:
1) I got my results back.. They're just so-so.. I shouldn't be surprised.. The path i chose is an insane one... Lets continue to push the envelope. (SADISTIC SMILE)
2) I have eaten a lot of buffets! Too many, actually.. I should seriously start running often...
3) I have started doing some reading... I now know partially why my grades are like that... Soooo many gaps in my understanding...
4) Gotten slightly moody, and now better again.. Some things come in waves, and i guess longtime readers will know what i'm talking about.. But no worries.. I'm in control.. (well you're not really in control when a mood hits you, but you try to claw out of it and THEN you are in control)
5) Most importantly, gotten rested and relaxed... Maybe too relaxed... I'm starting some simple plans.. Lets see if they take off...

4) Gotten slightly moody, and now better again.. Some things come in waves, and i guess longtime readers will know what i'm talking about.. But no worries.. I'm in control.. (well you're not really in control when a mood hits you, but you try to claw out of it and THEN you are in control)
5) Most importantly, gotten rested and relaxed... Maybe too relaxed... I'm starting some simple plans.. Lets see if they take off...
Onward.

I have a new connection!
After many months of putting up with a crap internet connection I have made the decision to switch to starhub..
And its extremely easy to even set up a wireless connection!
You just set up your router first, and make sure your security settings are done. You just have to set to DHCP automatic configuration (I'm using a Linksys WRT54G). Then just switch it off, and connect it to the cable modem. Switch both on, and everything works!
I should have been on starhub years ago.....

Undead Assault 2
I am half proud to say that I have introduced a game to church people, called Undead Assault 2. Simply put, it involves a team of up to 11 people holding out against a horde of zombie invaders.. Variations in the game include difficulty settings, and there's also a mode called Umbrella mode, where your team (the US Marines) have to try to control the sector despite Umbrella troopers' interference (read that as: kill the troopers and stay alive).
As you play the game you get to save and load, so you retain experience and unlock different classes, so you get to play as a medic, machine gunner, cyborg, forward observer.... the list goes on. So its kinda fun. Choosing the right classes lets you complement your team and succeed in the mission better.
So far its a good story, but the last time I played with CHURCH people, there was swearing going on, and I mean people swearing at each other. This is disgusting. I did not introduce the game so that we could swear at each other. Why is swearing while playing an e-game more acceptable than swearing while playing ping pong?
If i get the same amount of swearing while playing with church people compared with playing with people online, i will just play online. The next time i play on lan, i will leave the moment i hear swearing again.
