It was 1950hr. I arrived at the bustop few hundread meters away from my camp sweating like a crazily drenched green monster. I wanted to be home ASAP to run some errands and was waiting freaking long for the bus.
So i checked the time and it told me 25 precious minutes were wasted on waiting! I got pissed. (I shouldnt..) Then i kinda got a revelation.
When we dont get things our way we will tend to be anxious and begin complaining. And complaining is a complete waste of time!
Not only will it not help the situation, it exaggerates and prolongs the effect to a certain extend.
It's interesting how i checked the time so that i could begin complaining in my heart and make myself feel worse.
I've concluded that the next time i get anxious, instead of getting pissed off, ill check the time to see how much time i HAVE LEFT to run my errands and use the time to plan things ahead.
Or if there isnt a good reason to check the time, then ill make a conscious effort not to.
If i really really desperately wanna get thigns done badly then the last thing i should do is to complain (about how i cant do it).
The bus fianlly came at 2020! woohoo..
It's getting really humid thses days man. And it's disturbing my sleep nowadays. Not very cool stuff Been bathing more also (bo bian too hot). But today's weather was good haha Remember to drink lots and lots of water yea :)
I think one of the greatest disappointments in life is death (irreversible situations).
I believe He came so that we can live a disappointment free life.
If we're able to believe that He can raise people from the dead. And that He Himself was risen from the dead.
Then shouldn't it be easier for us to believe that our situations (or anything else) can be turned around when things haven't even reached their death?
His story makes it possible that we never stop believing.
Makes it possible that we never never never never never give up.
Makes it possible that we enjoy our every single day.
So that we can be passionate and alive once again and be fruitful.
He's not only able to heal, He's willing
Not only is He willing, He has already done it in advance because He understands, He knew.
I'm on standby duty in camp now.. Praise God for the internet man!
A sudden thought to share my thoughts on my life: Abit of a beginning of something Abit of a going through of something Abit of a ending of something Abit of a everything! I cant find a word to describe 'my life' actually. It doesnt make sense! When i try to make sense out of it, i get disappointed. The more i do it, the worse it gets It's made up of randomnesses and unpredictabilities. Very true, very simple but hard to swallow sia (it's amazing how commonsensical truth is to many, yet not very appetizing) Truth is.. we live by faith and not by sight we have to get comfortable not knowing
"Get use to it!" says He. "Just go ahead and do life the way you've always been envisioning it to be. Stick with Me. Plan it and I'll direct. Go. Just do it!"
We had 'OC Evening' just, back in camp :) I think we pulled it off because the performances were so funny & entertaining. Guitar Hero at the last was good stuff man. I like the stuff i heard. The above was one of them and I'm sure you've heard of it but it's exceptionally nice when played in Guitar Hero i dont know why!

Wasnt very confident at first and when people asked, i was telling them i wasnt aiming for gold but knew the moment the whistle blow ill pia all the way and throw up at the finishing line. So i pia-ed and ma timing was 9min 42sec :D, nearly vomitted but thank God i was alright! Got abit emotional for a minute after i crossed the line knowing my timing as they echoed out loud. it's like "OMG I GOT IT?!!" I encourage everybody to aim for ippt 'Gold' man.. especially those with the constant 'Silver' ;)
Selflessness' only need is to have yours met. If he ever had a selfish desire it would be, to be free. Selflessness is always interested in you. He is passionate and goes the extra mile. He is willing. Selflessness brings joy because joy leaps out of a willing heart. Selflessness does care about results but not the reward. Selflessness is strong because he has to die to self everyday, in every thought, in every decision, in every situation. Get to know him more and be a friend because he is nice & interesting.. ..not because he is unpopular and has little friends
