can a person learn to be uncaring?
or is it 'in him'?
can a person learn to be bo chap?
or is it 'in him?

personally, i think uncaring and bo chap are two traits that are learnt and built up. it depends on the environment where one is brought up. i have learnt my lessons and as such, i will not care anymore. not any more. it's tiring to even try. the heart is aching more with each shouting session.

you have lost the touch. you have lost your patience. you cannot manage it anymore yet you do not know. you think you are still as young and energetic as before and can handle it. final exams are looming yet the environment is not conducive for studying. do i really really need to study late at night? it's just so unfair to me. there's no ground for compromising. you just want to have it your way.

the stupid cycle

Person A always undergoes this cycle:

He sleeps => hungry => wakes up to eat => got energy => talk on the phone with 'so-called' gf => tired => sleeps => wakes up to eat => got energy => wants to go out now => but needs money => tries to borrow money => quarrels with family/friends => angry => gets into trouble => not able to work => no money => borrows again => gets into more trouble and so on and so forth



isn't it a stupid cycle? personally, i call it the stupidity cycle although it's not only limited to stupid people only; the once-upon-a-time-i-was-smart type of people also falls into this stupidity cycle.

how to get out of this stupidity cycle if u r trapped in it? well, your friends/family may do their best to pull/drag/hoist you out of the pit but the most important (and i guess it's the most difficult) thing is you yourself must put in the effort to get out of the cycle yourself. You do not have to look at others from the inside of the stupidity cycle; u can be outside of it as well! always remember, there are no stupid people. there's only those who do not want to work hard i.e. lazy!

Have u left a tip? - Our Daily Bread 280309

The practice of tipping is commonly accepted in many countries. But I wonder: Has this courtesy influenced our attitude toward giving money to the church?

Many Christians regard their financial giving as little more than a goodwill gesture to God for the service He has rendered us. They think that as long as they have given their tithe to God, the rest is theirs to handle as they please. But the Christian life is about so much more than money!

The Bible tells us that our Creator owns “the cattle on a thousand hills” (Ps. 50:10). “The world is Mine,” God says, “and all its fullness” (v.12). Everything comes from Him, and everything we have belongs to Him. God has not only given us every material thing we have, He has also given us His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, who provides our very salvation.

Paul used the Macedonian Christians as an illustration of what our giving should look like in the light of God’s incredible generosity toward us. The Macedonians, who were in “deep poverty,” gave with “liberality” (2 Cor. 8:2). But “they first gave themselves to the Lord” (v.5).

God the Creator of the universe does not need anything from us. He doesn’t want a tip. He wants us! — C. P. Hia

Whatever, Lord, we lend to Thee,
Repaid a thousand-fold will be;
Then gladly will we give to Thee,
Who givest all—who givest all. —C. Wordsworth


No matter how much you give, you can’t outgive God.
____________________________________________________________________________________


This is really speaking about how some Christians feel about tithes! Always remember, God loves a cheerful giver. No matter how big or small the amount is, God will be able to make use of the money. and the last statement is so true; no matter how much you (we) give, you (we) can't outgive God for God has already given us Jesus Christ!

I dun know how u feel, but i feel really appreciated and grateful for this wonderful gift from our God

It's so true.....

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Love

Tech Support: Yes, how can I help you?

Customer: Well, after much consideration, I've decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?

Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer:Well, I'm not very technical, but I think I'm ready- What do I do first?

Tech Support: The first step is to open y our Heart. Have you located your Heart?

Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now.
Is it okay to install Love while they are running?

Tech Support: What programs are running ?

Customer: Let's see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.

Tech Support: No problem. Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off?

Customer: I don't know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been completely erased.

Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, ' Error - Program not run on external components' What should I do?

Tech Support: Don't worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts, but has not yet been run on your Heart.
In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.

Customer: So, what should I do?

Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self; Realize your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.

Customer: Okay, done.

Tech Support: Now, copy them to the 'My Heart' directory. The system will overwrite any conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back

Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?

Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time. So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.

Customer: Thank you, God.

God/Tech Support: You're Welcome, Anytime.

if the teacher does not teach willingly,
will the student learn willingly?
if the teacher is incompetent,
will the student be competent?
it's so damn true.
shouting and wanting the student to do it the teacher's way doesn't always work
how come she doesn't realise it?
it's the same everyday
'a leopard never changes its spots' can be used to describe her!
how stubborn!

the cycle starts again, or rather it never ended? i'm kinda of troubled, pissed and annoyed by it. how come he just won't change? how come he just won't realise his mistake? how come he keeps on running about in circles? that's the sort of questions that were asked with no answers to it. i'm like caught in between, with no one to lean on. with all the troubles, it's somehow affecting me psychologically i think. and there's no one to talk to; no one i can trust. somehow or rather, they view me in the same way as they view him. n i hate that totally. trying to speak only when necessary so as not to speak the wrong things which may need more talking from me which i totally hate. i simply dislike talking about him.

choral fest 2009

I shall attempt to write an entry using the songs that we sung at the choral fest!

All that has breath should give Glory To God for our God is a God Of Grace who never fails to shower His amazing grace on His people. In fact, He is always there for us. O Lord! I Want To Meet You! The sick, acting on his faith, touched The Hem Of Your Robe and was healed immediately. Lord, how majestic is Your name! You, who does wonderful things for sinners like us, is worthy of our praise and Nobody Fills My Heart Like Jesus. You are not a god of clay nor a silent stone. You hold the wind in Your hands and hung the sun and moon in its place. You have authority over all things. Have you not heard? Our God is God!

tmr is the choral fest!
first ever!
so happy that TRBC is part of it
and so happy that my good friends are going to be there
n my parents are going to be there too
so happy!

existence is questioned
in serious doubt over the purpose of existing
cannot take it anymore
the pressure
everything

the worst kind of 'terrorism' one can encounter is when parents do not shower love on their own child, allowing the child to feel unloved, isolated at a young and tender age. don't they feel for the kid? shouldn't they understand what the kid really needs is the love, support from his/her own parents? and as parents, your primary job is to provide for the kid; giving the best of your abilities to your kid without hesitation. and giving the best doesn't mean sending the kid to countless tuition sessions; it also doesn't guarantee the kid will end up with being a president's scholar rite? thousands of kids have come so far without tuition. tender loving care for the kid, understanding from the parents and give-and-take at times might just work. parents, pls understand that your kids are just as miserable as u if they fail to meet your ever-rising-expectations; it's just that they do not know how to react or say it out. by the time when they do know how to react to such situations, be ready, i say, be ready for after-effects that you, will never ever dream about and never ever want to know about. that's the worst kind of 'terrorism'

they say behind a succesful man, there's a woman;
i say there's no need for a man to get married to be successful

memories

looking at the students receiving their A levels results reminds me of the day when i received mine. i received it with a heavy heart because i went to school from the hospital from visiting my late grandma n i had to return there to accompany her. so everything was a blur during the process. i couldn't remember much of what my tutor said to me when i received the cert. i just knew i spent quite little time on that last day in cjc. but today, upon seeing such a scene again, i have this urge to go back n visit the college again and see how the teachers are doing! n i love my college's motto:

Integrity & Service
~in Veritate et Caritate~

certain people are still not aware of their own mistakes
where their mistakes are so obvious
no steps are being taken to rectify them and it's just so annoying
clear your own mess, i would say!
why make others suffer with u?
if u realise your mistakes, n require help, help is always available
but dun ever repeat the same mistakes
i totally hate it
he's just not cut out to be a parent
can someone talk some cow sense into him?
