"Shout to the Lord, all the earth!
Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God,
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksigving and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him and praise his name,
for the Lord is good and his love endures forever,
his faithfulness continues through all generation!"

The psalm in my head at this period of "busy-ness" and stress. Never lose sight of what I'm really here for!

Its not about me, or the things I expect but the God that gives me things and God himself.

Watched "Hotel Rwanda" today. Recorded it on Monday on the spur of the moment when I was flipping channels. And in that moment borned moments where I see in vivid pictures how humanity has failed the initial purposes God meant for a world he created. Love.

A movie,based on a true story, where in the words of the main lead's actual persona, "(movie) was a lot less violent than what happened". It was set in the backdrop of the events leading up to and during the Rwanda Genocide of 1994-1995, and made me appreciate how lucky we are here in SG. If shedding tears over a touching love story was forgivable, then tearing at the inhumane loss of lives and limbs, lost of family in front of one's eyes, separation of husband and wife, parents and children, selfless sacrifice for a stranger but a brother of the same race nonetheless, self-shame of being afraid and being powerless at saving the distressed masses....are definitely nothing to be paiseh about.











Separation: a feeling of fear and uncertainity



Abandonment- a feeling of hopelessness and despair
While the scenes in the movie were heartwrenching to watch, I can only imagine how much worse it must have been when it actually happened. This leads me to my main conclusion abeit from the failure of humanity. Our only hope: Jesus Christ, the only one who died for billions in the face of impending death and fear. People say fear makes us human, the inbuilt primate reactions in us of fight or flee comes from fear. But Christ died to show us that "perfect love drives out fear".

In the word of the late MJ, heal the world indeed. Without love, things tend to become more complicated than they really are.

"This is the message you have heard from the BEGINNING: We should love one another" -1 John 3:11

5 more days to exam! OMG so fast...

Went to study at airport today, and sat beside this darn smelly bangla... really quite bad. As in the smell. Usually sit beside stinky people still can get used to it after awhile,but this guy. Whoo man, it was overpowering, in every sense of it. After I get off the bus still can smell, and i actually turned the aircon towards my nose to ward it off... Wow man! But poor guy la, think he has it worse than me. He has to tahan himself til he gets back to wherever. SMRT should consider putting air freshners in their buses.

Anyways, 5 days! Really must get back to mugging now... *xiong* Lost the mugging skill liao...

Singapore must have a lot of inconsiderate middle-aged to greying uncles. Some idiot parked his bicycle next to mine, and when he unlocks his own bike, he lets mine fall to the ground and leaves it. Chain got disconnected and made me waste my time. LKY says S'poreans are too lazy, think he should start a campaign on Old Singapore not equals Current Singapore. The inconsiderate and uncivilised behaviours of old people should not be allowed to contaminate our society, just as much as the young should not stop working to "maintain our fragile national fabric".

Baby boomers means wisdom? Pha... more like small-mindedness and stupidity. No wonder more and more of the younger generation are looking to migrating or even studying overseas if just to escape the "heat from our sunny island".

And got a callup from Mindef in May, in my exam period. How dumb can the gahmen be? Private or local school also means school what. How difficult can that logic be to understand?

Well i try and try. Just like some dumb animal knowing what it wants, yet not knowing exactly how about to get to it. But im not a dumb animal, Im a God-breathed intelligent creature. Ironic how the smart ones sometimes do things the not-so-intelligent way. I'm placing my bets on it being that the smart ones find themselves in too much things to handle than they think they actually can.

"Pace yourself" Old words but new everyday, these are. Well, the path has been chosen. "Merger!" cried the city bells. And so it shall be. Another cry, less certain but a cry nontheless rings too. "Merdeka?" Time will tell.
