Piss off with some people

Piss off with some people... Keep reminding me of this verse: "When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise. (Proverbs 10:18-20) "

Just some thoughts

If there is no examiner, then there is no need to study and sit for examination. Similarly, if the Judge of all the earth does not exist, then it is not necessary to be good!! Morality is nothing but just a worthless sets of principles created by man. There is no need to be good to anyone as I don't owe them anything... and the world will become cold. But the truth is: In the end, we will be all be judged that day..... and our consciences also bearing witness, and our thoughts now accusing, now even defending if what we are doing are right....

Jokes and Humour Forum

Jokes and Humour Forum is a forum I set up 1 - 2 years ago. Originally, the name of the forum is just jokes forum but later I changed it to the current name to make it sound nice and attractive to people. In the beginning, I received a poor response from readers (or rather forumers) as I was seen as fighting for readership in the jokes threads in other forums. Nevertheless, I put in effort to try to make people feel that this is a worthy forum. It did not really get recognized until quite recently, about a few months ago, when people started to post a lot of jokes (sometimes dirty jokes :S) and comment on each jokes. This month, the ranking of my forum is in the top 20 - number 17th! Wow, that is a long way, and its ranking kept climbing slowly and slowly in the past. I am happy with the response. Nowadays, I don't have much time to read all the jokes and monitor the threads and I leave it to the other moderators and forumers to decide for themselves the type of jokes they want. I do monitor the forum but not as frequently as in the past after I graduated.

The "success" (can I say that? :p) of my forum takes 1 - 2 years for people to finally recognize my intention but how much harder and longer will it takes for people to finally recognize the Truth? God has given us a life time but that does not mean we can take it for granted for He has set aside our life expectancy - we never know when we will "expire".

Although I am not a very holy believer of God, I do hope that people would believe what I say about God and His plan - and stop putting on their blue lens to view me as a holy people for I am human like you and prone to submit to worldly stuffs. That is, being a Christian is really a struggle as in we have to wage a spiritual war everyday.

Faith and relationship in God (rather than what the world would categorize as religion) is not a joke. It is a serious matter and it would affect your eternal destiny like what you decide for your education affect your future career(s). It is worth the time to put on your thinking cap and think about it. Either conform to the world - currently run by the ancient serpent - now and pay the consequence later or conform to the One who is the ultimate truth to life now. I would rather choose the latter and the road is not always straight. "There's always a choice."

The time will come when the mystery of God will be finished. And it is not that far from now, I believe.

A trip to chinese/japanese garden

A couple of weeks after the start of semester 2, I went to visit chinese and japanese garden. I had not gone to this garden for a long time since young and also I heard that the admission is free. So I decided to pay it a visit. I asked debu and yang guo to come along but they were not interested. Nevertheless, this did not stop me from going there. I had taken some shots as proof. :p No la, I took them because there are nice sceneries. Take a look at these photos and give feedbacks on my photography skills too. :D (The camera I used has only 4.1 Mega pixels.)

Chinese Garden



Japanese Garden



The garden is renovating. Looking forward to visit in its new look. :D

Snails mating

A day before our last examination period in NTU, KF, JR and I went home quite late together heading towards the bus-stop at communication studies building there. Then we chanced upon a couple - snail - mating by the side of the pathway. As most of the time I brought camera with me to school in case I need it for my FYP, I was able to capture the copulation of the snail.







However, the following photo shows the real copulation:


So, it seems that the couple snails we came across are just at the stage before mating...

The Five Love Languages Quiz

Thanks Catherine for sending me this link. :D Yup, I read this book before but never done this quiz. And it really helpful in my future. If only I read the book and my rib doesn't, then it is only me filling the tank ... It should be both sided - it is important that my the other half read this book as well so that we can speak the same language and help each other achieve a common goal in the relationship and also to help build up each other character in the long run ..


1st try:

The Five Love Languages

My primary love language is probably
Physical Touch
with a secondary love language being
Quality Time.

Complete set of results

Physical Touch:
9
Quality Time:
8
Acts of Service:
6
Words of Affirmation:
5
Receiving Gifts:
2


Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz

Conclusion from the 3 sets of results in order of importance/priority:

1) Quality time
2) Physical touch
3) Acts of service
4) Receiving gifts
5) Words of affirmation

However, I think receving gifts should be the last one and words of affirmation should be number four.

Before doing the quiz, in the past after reading this book, I thought mine is:

1) Quality time or physical touch
2) Quality time or physical touch
3) Words of affirmation
4) Acts of service
5) Receiving gifts

The photo above shows the amount of reading materials (most journals are two pages onto one and double pages while some journals I did not print it out) I had for my FYP!! I doubt the professor has read so much about the topics of my project. =p

Intelligent Design Conference (Singapore 21st - 25th May 2007)

On 22 May 2007, I went school to collect my hard bound report and submited whatever things I need to to my professors. There was this NTU e-mail that invited us to a talk on whether if there are any E-T in the universe. I found this topic interesting and so I decided to go and listen to the talk in LT2A at 7.30pm. The speaker was an ang mo and he spoke in such a way that made me didn't understand what he was talking most of the time. Furthermore, I expected some discoveries about traces of E-T but the speaker lectured a lot about theories of the requirements for a habitable planet. I almost Zzzz .... At the end of the lecture, I became aware that the talk was part of the ID conference. So I went home and checked the website given. There were another 2 more talks. I only went to the 24th May as it was a panel discussion, I expected some debates between the audiences and the panels. The venue was in St Andrew Cathedral and this was the first time I went to this cathedral - the underground worship hall - to listen to talks. :D

Not to my suprise, there were indeed some challenging questions from skeptics. As usual, such kind of debates are never ending so it is all up to individual to decide. Overall, the talks by the four experts were interesting and I did gain some knowledge and new thoughts and insights.

There is this powerpoint from the website that can be downloaded. I find it interesting and would like to share with you all. I put it in online storage site in case that website is removed. So here it is:

Is Science compatible with Christianity?

I hope you will learn something that may change your thinking which is mostly taught (or "brainwash") by the world.

What are my objectives in Life ????

*_*?? What are my obectives in life? I am soberly clear that my primary objective in life is to save as many souls as possible (by getting people to know the One True God), serve God and worship God. But I am not actively involve in this most important objective which God required from people who already knows Him. I was rather passive. I was not a good "talker"(but I tried) and I only resort to using e-mailing, blogging and etc to reach out to people.

Although I already know the Eternal God who created heaven and earth, why am I still not that happy and feel lost sometimes. What then is my secondary objective in life? ... I don't know. I don't know the future, I don't know what I'm going to do - I have yet given much thought about it and have not taken any action. I am not sure where God wants me to be in. God, God ... tell me ... where should I be heading. My University life is ending. Tomorrow is my last lecture in my entire University life. What are my secondary objectives in life?

I pray that You would give me some signs or answer and give me courage in my primary objective to walk out of my comfort zone. I may face with many obstacles and struggles in life but with You, You gives me the strength to go on with life. May everything I do, every thoughts of mine, every action of mine, every words I speak ... are pleasing to you. If I didn't, forgive me and guide me back to the right way. I commit my entire life, and my coming examinations and after that, FYP presentation into your hand. Amen.

Serendipitous or designed (Testimony)

I would like to share with you a testimony that has both touched me and given me insight into how God works. I understand that each faith has its own testimony that convince people to follow a particular belief. Free thinkers and new agers have their own set of testimony that pull people into their own "organized group". Commercial companies have gathered testimonies to convince people of the effectiveness of their products.

Testimony may not always be useful in getting people to believe in God. Some may brush it away as a fanciful tales. Some may think the witnesses are exaggerating and so on...

In Christianity, some people are convinced by testimony. Some people want to see miracles. Some people are convinced by pure reasonings. Some people are because of certains event in their life that caused them to believe. There are many ways in how the Holy Spirit touches the life of individual fellowers and call upon them to believe. The very same ways are also use by the prince of this world to deceive people to stay away from God and His messages to us.

Thus, I believe going by reasonings are the safest. "Let us reason...say the Lord"

Anyway, it is 2 42a.m now. I have no idea in which direction I should write. Anyway, to all truth finders, may you find the right path!! Only God knows before hand who will eventually be saved.

Below are the testimony. It seems that many things are design by God - God plans it. We the observers may see it another way on earth. Well, He is the Author.. Wondering how He is writing mine life story ....

Fail-safe relationship

I have been thinking about the term "fail-safe relationship" recently. Is it possible? Does it exist? Can it exist? I may write about it when I am free and if I feel like writing this topic and know what to write.

Want to know what does it mean by a fail-safe relationship? Stay tune. (but I can't promise I would write about it.)

Truth in Deuteronomy

I've never tried to be controversial. The truth is controversial enough. - Keith Green


The eventual silence of God and the use of prophets (human) as God's instrument to speak to us [Here Moses relating to the Israel people what God had told him]:
14 The nations you will dispossess listen to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you, the LORD your God has not permitted you to do so. 15 The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him. 16 For this is what you asked of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, "Let us not hear the voice of the LORD our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die."

17 The LORD said to me: "What they say is good. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. 19 If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account. 20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death."

21 You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD ?" 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.
(Deuteronomy 18: 14-22)


Yes, fortune telling, palm reading, other divination ways can be real and exist. Things (not from God) associate with the spiritual world do exist:
1 If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a miraculous sign or wonder, 2 and if the sign or wonder of which he has spoken takes place, and he says, "Let us follow other gods" (gods you have not known) "and let us worship them," 3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. 4 It is the LORD your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him.
(Deuteronomy 13:1-4)


God spoken to Moses, reaffirming in these verses that the whole earth belongs to Him. Who else have the guts to say such a things?
5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, 6 you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites."
(Exodus 19:5-6)



Moses spoken to the Israel community
14 To the LORD your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.
(Deuteronomy 10:14)


Hmmm.... Why isn't China His chosen nation? There are many scholars there leh... China so big, so many people leh... hmmm... :) ) [Israel started as a very small group of people, raised by God, into now a powerful nation. He always use the foolish things - small and depised by us - for His big plan. Although plan I - to use Israel to attract all the other nations to Israel as His kingdom - fails because of Israel "hardness", we are now under plan II. Israel to be dealt with later.]
6 For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.
(Deuteronomy 7:6)


From the very ancient to the very present, the nature is very much worshipped. In these verses, God was speaking to the Israel community.
15
You saw no form of any kind the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully, 16 so that you do not become corrupt and make for yourselves an idol, an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman, 17 or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the air, 18 or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the waters below. 19 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven. 20 But as for you, the LORD took you and brought you out of the iron-smelting furnace, out of Egypt, to be the people of his inheritance, as you now are.
(Deuteronomy 4: 15-20)

Ponderisms

Found the "Ponderisms" in a forum. Feel that it is quite meaningful so decide to share it with whoever is reading my blog:


PONDERISMS


* I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

* Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

* The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

* Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

* There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick and the dead.

* Life is sexually transmitted.

* Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

* The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

* Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.

* Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

* Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?

* Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

* All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

* In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

* Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first.

* How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

* Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"

* Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there? I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its butt."

* Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

* If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

* Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!

* If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that Acme crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?

* If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

* If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

* Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

* Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

* Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

* Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

* Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?
