thought of the day
we must return to the source to crucify our problem
this is the ony way to spare us of the vicious cycle
for those who are once again tormented by the same issue
what are you going to do now?
matthew 6:26
look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. are you not of more value than they? which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

Father, why do christians backslide?
why do christians turn their back from you?
have they forgotten everything You have done for them at their worst time?
or have they sinned so badly and are ashame to face you?
but Father, we know you will forgive, as long as we come back to you
for you will rejoice over a lost sheep and a lost coin
how much more precious is a lost-again son, who once found love in you
bless them God, and forgive them
give them the courage to come back to you

dear Father,
it has been such a long time since my last letter. it has also been a long time since You came to chat with me. i miss you dearly and those dry days are terrible to bear. why have you left me in crete? why am i here to suffer? the constant pressure from both side. terrible.
Father, you know i am not here to complain. i am here to show you my difficulties. "give all your problems to God," they told me. yes, but when my burden is given by You, do i give them back to you?
i know i am weak and You know i am. i do not try to be strong because i know i am not. i am thankful that i am blessed with gifts, so that i may be strong. just a mortal here, waiting to serve and not to be served.
i am thankful for the friends you have positioned in my life.
i am sorry if i sow seed of hatred to my friends. i am sorry if i gossip behind my friends' back. all i want is to show the truth.

love and misses,
your son.

second shock from the test and more.....

history of western architecture
a totally traumatic experience
written in the instruction heading, "choose the correct word to fill in the blanks".
"erm.. professor? where are the helping words?"
wrong choice of word i guess but when he say choose during the class, naturally we thought there should be a box with lots of helping words for use to choose to fill in the blank. i guess we are all wrong.

a contradictory experience
western history is an easy test because it is set in format that requires pure memorisation
but because it is a pure test of memorisation, it is so difficult.

the last and finally horrific experience ( i hope )
it is construction management test
we are all given an a3 size paper to write our answer on.
at the header there are boxes for us to fill in our names, date, subject paper no etc.
but, there are all in korean!

21.10.05

conversation in the library

minho (korean), yuxun and me studied in the school library our mid term test.
the atmosphere was tensed as we tried to mug through our indivdual modules.
minho sticked out of his reading divider to catch my attention.

"kenrus..?"
"yes"
"why is yuxun always sleeping? i always see him sleeping...???"
"i don't know, he is just beside you, why don't you ask him?"
"i know but i can't."
"why"
"because he is now asleep (again)!"

the falling asleep habit is getting bad.
most of the time we found ourselves becoming victim of the curse.


to win the sleeping war, we must know our enemy.

i have come up with a list of reasons

1) change of season - dry and cold at time, too nice to study.

2) cold weather - inability to do outdoor sports. freeze to death in those skimmy wear.

3) hot sun - autumn is a hot environment frequently visited by piercing chill wind. i think heat plays a part in this sleeping phenomenon.

4) absence of air con system - cool environment yes, ventilation no!

5) absence of large opening - for obvious reason, to keep out the cold (and oxygen too).

6) too much fabric - clothings do play a part, these comfortable cotton sweaters and scarfs which resemble pyjamas and blankets are also responsible!

7) too much carbo intake - rice, their staple food, too much carbo makes one tired.

8) coffee not strong - strong coffee please!

9) bad lighting - do you know that there is report on korean subway lighting? apparently the bad light quality are responsible for making their passenger tired.

10) working overnight - the whole idea of working overnight does not make sense to me, so are you telling me you are working hard on both day and night, without sleeping? in most cases, i've observed people struggling after midnight and sleeping when the clock struck 6am in the morning. so at the end of the day - limited work done. come on. night is for sleeping!

the list is not complete. there should be more.
take care! time to study. yawn~

i waited and waited and waited and i finally met him
not God this time but a friend
benjamin, a brother in christ
he has chatted to some of us over the msn but when is my turn? i wondered
until finally he turned up today
and he gave me 2 verses

2 corinthains 12:9-10
"and He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." .... for when i am weak, then i am strong

1 corinthains 15:58
therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

i love you benjamin,
and
God, i love you even more
staying up through the night for project still doesn't make sense
night is for sleeping
i repeat, night is for sleeping!!

He will hold you responsible if you spread hatred instead of love among His children. His children are all created differently and if you cannot get along, so be it. why is there a need to voice your opinion so that you can pull 'friends' over to you side? you, the selfish one, who is responsible for polluting the whole atmosphere of friendship. you, the cunning one who deceit everyone of the truth. you, the spoil one, who draws the spirit of gossip and falsehood and warth and unforgiveness.

He will make you pay if you do not repent!

The point here is not about judgment but love, bless, and forgiveness regardless of differences.

"you have heard that it was said, 'you shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.' but I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. for if you love those who love you, what reward have you? do not even the tax collectors do the same? and if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? do not even the tax collectors do so? therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect." - matthew 5:43-48

"whose side are you on? her side or ours. choose!"

i am seriously shocked to death to be asked this question.
i am unapologetic to reveal this to all because i am terribly disappointed of the source of where this question comes from. from not an ordinary gentile but one that is not.

i did not know what to answer then but i know now,

"His side! whatever is good in His eyes will be good, similarly whatever that is bad will be bad."

having said all these, i still love the one who posed this question.
God delivers him from the prison of hatred.

10.10.05

my trip to the salon is an exciting one. not for the fact that i cannot understand or explain the style i want but for the fact that seung hwan is there to constantly take picture of my hair cutting process!

the feeling is weird: to have korean hairdresser washing your hair in a korean salon and at the same time being photographed by a korean friend.

the all time favourite: ok i promised her that i will tell my Singaporean friends that hair cut in korean is safe, great and cheap. wash and cut for only 5000 won, about $8

location: gyeongbokgung palace
revelation

1) it is more important to worship God then to read a lot of bible. anyone can read a bible, even satan read the bible but only a true believer worship Him.

2) "So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen." - matt 20:16

3) God is an awesome God, some prayer answered. God's plan revealed.
