contemptuous
The bright yellow ball shone it's light throughout the island this afternoon.Temperature that could be able to allow droplets of sweat roll down to our eye lids.Chinese New Year comes yearly.That's obvious. However this year, though it may not be a galmourous event but it encapulate much secret treasure that i was emanate with joy.Reuion with personal in house family this year would left a deep recession in my heart.It is about three prawns.Though they might look dead, but when they are out of their orange harden shell and gollap their way to my plate, it simply blows me off.Three prawns gave me such a unspeakable ravished.Love nestled around me while i was at the dinner table.Sometimes asians find it that damn tough to honestly confess their love internally.BUt their very deeds has painted a wondeful picture of a butterfly that is in a garden and submerge with strong smell of aroma.The afterwhich Chinatown was a curiosty that i had to feed myself with.There came along Melvin and Yk. We endeavour to get through the crowds however we were stil slowed down.The craving was met through some walks where we might have ended up at certain wrong places.We bump into esther and her cousion with her mum too.Fearless was a movie i caught after that around 11 plus with darly, Brandon, Bruce, melvin and wei song.My comments of the movie is such that it has great action packs. I mean GREAT fights.If you are enthralled by fightings or stuff do place your bottom onto a seat.I won't have any thing much to say about it as it did not leave me with much thoughts still hovering around.After which, i went to melvin house to overnight. =) Next came what we term as TODAY.Today was indeed a fruitful day. =)I will cut the whole long story to a short one.I was on a ecstatic when i found out that my cousion is a beliver in chirst too.He's also on the ball in serving the Lord. I'm truly encouraged by those two messages he sent me.Thank you, God that you have let me know once again that i'm not alone in this. God is moving. Indeed.Soon after house visition i made my way down to town to catch i'm not stupid too with many people. In particular, ong, melvin(again), wei song, jess, yenli, chee sun, joshua and elise.I hope i did not miss out anyone.My school of thoughts of that movie:The zenith part of this move is that it has teh ability to instill trepidation and laughter to one's heart. The show is able to draw that emotion that is not a dream but realistic. Those languages they used kept many enthralled. I went agape after reflecting upon that movie. The plot was great because it did not make us think that humans are impeccable but weak.Basically i think that this movie objective is also to cause a revberating thought that sounds aloud in the minds of humans. In my opinon, i am certain that there will be few people that teared. Why? This is too real and it's happening in many youth lives today. The thought can be seen through a spectrum that made this movie pinnalce.Take for example one question that might go loud in our minds,'When was the last time you praise someone?'To certain extend i believe that it has a biblcal message to put across to the scope of fishes.I believe that many youths who have caught this movie hope there parents could have watched it too thus they could take a stop check on how their parents have related to them. =)Sometimes i wished familes would be as the ending of the show.The penultimate usually always is not something galmours.In short i have a pool of thougths about this movie. This is one movie that's so real as i'm able to think like the actors and it challenges one thought.One thing that also have vividly been imprinted in the walls of my brain is the discrimination to normal technical students. I do not beg to differ with what was shown as it's true. But i'm also certain that the education system is helping them to develop their potential but not at a rapid speed. If a teacher were to catch this movie, i belived it will cause they teacher to do certain restructing to the way he/she conducts classes. The world is such a place that sometimes people do not wished to be in as it's too competieve. Can we learn to take a stop and appreciate things happening arround us? Why do we have to treat cretain people in a special way? Just because they are special? Let's take everyone with love. Evaulate our actions to certain people. Does chirst reflects out in those relationship we have? Everyone deserve chances to be accepted into this society. Will we take them?Think about it.Answer to oursleves.HE ACCEPTED US.The movie has made a deep depression in my heart and mind.Thoughts of how at times we do certain things and how we treat some people brings a great dawn to me.I do not really care how smart ass or dumb one can get but too me i love everyone as who they are and not what they can do.See to it that no one gets ONLY special attention from you.guys think abt it: Why do you treat certain sisters so special from others? care alone. I beg to differ.Everyone should haev a chanced to be loved and love and this fathom only happens when we all start to accept each other.Apparently i'm done with my post for today.It's hideously long but still it brings great delight to voice out.conflate all the thoughts to this point now.Where shall we go?The key to someone heart.Let's open it.find the right key for the key hole.David

trepidation
the schemes of colours used in timely blogging seems to be always changing.There were many moments we spend with personal encounter with God.Those moments seems to be the zenith of it.Of those times which were nadir, we seem to be able to see the speck of light entering through the key hole.Yet, however, some will vividly be imprinted in the walls of my mind that always rustle about.Reflecting at those moments makes me agape.Simply put, no amount of sun through the crystal blue ocean will be always to reflect those times away.It seems to be moving with the currents of the sea yet unlost though at times been divergent by the boulders of the sea.The currents of oceans never seem to die off. Never.The boudaries of the blue innocent ocean has nowhere to be found. i'm impressed by the thoughts that remains that move like the currents. =)Infact i've been in west for more than a month.At times i felt apprehensive about things that will happened.Yet i learn to simply keep those moments of stillness and trust.Knowing the surpeme hand will sustain all life within me. =) Indeed he never fails. Never.I'm always living in agape for what he has done.Simply put, i'm awestruck by his grace in my care group.We broke our goal of 9 people and God gave us 11 care group members. =)Aren't you thunderstruck?What amazes me was what he could tell me something in a peculiar manner. TRUST. this has been something i'm still always growing after my foot landed into the land of fruitfulnes. =)I've have an adour that the group will grow big time by every week now.Father, now i asked of you to not let any new belivers fall off and show yourself real God. =)I'll trust you. =) God would you please let fruitfulness be the name of everyone of my care group members. I'm anticipating for 2 care groups real soon. =) The whole conflation of all his goodness simple points us to his Love.Serving with a group of people that loves God never fails to add a dosage of strenght to me as i continue to battle things out at time.I'm doing a stop for the blogging today as i would like to go and submerge myself in gaming nw. chinese new year is not something i wait in excitment.Maybe it's just the holidays.TIES is build daily. =)haha.david hoe.your child.

the human brain seems to be an interesting object given by the creator.maybe it was spell binded. however as innocent it looks, it has the power to do much such as reverse physcology. (sp)it can be manipulated easily just by playing with few words or actions.That's how amazing our brain can work that amazes me.It ability to think in instant spilt seconds and always being made used off.i'm not sure why this thought just flows along with my blood this moment even as i typed.maybe it's the brain again.Maybe because God knows about human brains and that finite and weak thus he always asked us to renew our minds. Then we will be able to see his perfect will. =) Indeed. =) A day of harvesting in process that i have landed my foot onto.Indeed i'm glad to have serve the lord with my faithful team members in my care goup.his faithfulness seems like sheets of rain that splashes over our lives daily. =)They are a wonderful family that i am serving the Lord with. =) Add encourage to me greatly.

Melvin asked me to go cut hair with him.I was contemplating if i should go and in the end i was on the same bus with him to far east.haha. as much as i might not really like the idea of it, i must say i do really enjoy time spend with friends that God has given.Personally, level doesn't matters that much.Well. it might. but just a geniue friendship. =) level is never a hinderance to my walk with the Lord by building strong and bibcal friends?In failures and succes you will be serving him.i was touched by this statement today after rereading some cards in math lesson.okay. speak of math i have a test tomorrow. eh. i am not in a frantic. =xhaha. oh yah. i just finishe 43 questions of physics. =sless homework now. left with geo. it's piling up.if i have one rose left to give, who shall i give too?david

surmounted
he always ensure the viable factor in my life that he never fails to convict me. =)Once spoken it penerates through the naked heart. His words are simpy infallible.Simplicity always work in a complicated society nowasdays.Now i shall blog what i have in mind.I was rather convince through what fluster through my mind yesterday and it was simple trurth.The truth keeps reverberating in my head even till this moment.It's just a short word that leaves a recurring impact.HOPE.Why should we be so meticulous about hope one may ask.But why not.Precisely because it's just a simple word and we all overlook it magnificent impact.Let me put it this way,If we agree that salavation consitute of HOPE.Then if hope is removed then isn't it simply good as DEAD?So i keep probing the word hope a little further into my life.Many times haven't i given up hope on things and sometimes i might have kept it to myself without saying it out.Take for example, taking care of sheep or group growth.Sometimes we are susceptible to the HAPPENINGS that we keep quiet and start to give in and thus we dare not DREAM big.Isn't that losing HOPE?Then it's plainly good at dead.Thus i was renewed by the simple word HOPE.The only way as to bring hope back is through his word. Simply put, his word gives us new life right? thus it will renew our HOPE. =)one other lesson that caught me was this:Don't rush to act but ASK for GUIDANCE.Maybe it because we are living in a hectic society that accounts for THE RUSH instead of us. I seek to learnt o wait upon his guidance in my life and not screw things up. =)haha. that's all about my learning.The new spectrum of thoughts just ALWAYS GETS BETTER.i really enjoy such a vital exsistence of my relationship with God.hmmm. apparently i'm home early today. =)well. all thanks to good friend, Melvin wong. shall not mention abt it.still i never fail to count it a blessing of having great friends that God has given.Oh yah. Service today was marvellous. 1000 youths soon and very soon by end of this yr.11 feb is love 111 service.haha. i anticipate to bring my friends there. it's goona be cool with drama and stuffs. cool huh.yeah. okay. time to mug.yeah.david hoe

beautiful scandalous night
we can simply put things in a systematically way today.apparently, i had a relishable day today.Of which, i had my first CL class at ac (b) there and initally i went with a foul mood however a paradox thing happened during the the class and post class period.I must say that the teacher is completely voluble. He nevers STOPS. He goes on and on.I enjoyed the class for the fact that it was not that taxing as i thought it will be.So there goes my every faithful wednesday there.The school's design is in such a way that it will brings such an awe to me as i gazed into each little buildings they had.But what i really enjoyed about the class was the new friends i made today. =)By God's grace they are studying in the west school and it's how far for them to travel down.Jasden, Lance and Hannah are a bunch of interesting people. =)Great that i have known them. =)Lance is a damn interesting guy with wacky ideas that spills all over his head.Still, within everyone they are just simply unquie. =)i look forward to my next meeting up with them may it be through msn or outings. =)apparently, i have seen how God has been moving in the hearts of west in my guys group.I'm indeed strongly encouraged by this few people through their OBEDIENCE to the Lord.Vincent, Sataya, Joel and Keith. =)I'm ver certain that the lord will pour in splendor harvest for them. (",)A gaze into the sky just brings your faithfulness descending like sheets of rain. =)well. i'm buzzing off to slp nw.appraently electostatic could get on my nerves.i mean those question in prelim papers and not in TYS.TYS is easy like ABC. but prelim papers make me PUKE.haha. God please grace me through the static that's hovering round my mind. =)Davidatrocious but grace. =)

Though situations may conflates of both good and bad at times, i have an adour that something good will be reap out of it.As asinine i might sound, the thought of that statement flustered through my mind and recurperated with truth. Indeed impossible to that statment is just like a skeptical way of saying gravity exsist.Many times he confound us as we rely fully on him. The simplicity/complexity of a mind might not be able to comprehend his acts of love thus one become skeptical of those deeds that he will do. Indeed that statement rings truth today in both Joel's and Vincent's life.Dumbdounded am i not?The nestled their life to him with obedience.Joel depicts a whole essence of living out a life that reads his convictions by sharing the gospel to his friend.Vincent paints the whole pictorial of what was done on the cross to his friends. Simply they are man that though situation might conflates but knows how to bring out the best in it.Perspective do come in. Hoever condone what's wrong must be accepted.Once again, the facade of a human mind is not that complex but still it's us who made it.Obedience is such a simple word but when will man understand?Is man in this state because of situations or himself?Nestle around his arms.Better is two then one simply make a statement of friendship. I enjoy meself today with jarvin and melvin together after my ministry.Though as crappy as some can get but still the friendship brings a worth that no gold can ever buy.The intensity of sharing always drill to pit bottom with his word as measuring rod.How i enjoy time spent with Jarvin. =)Though barrier of time might hinder but the exsistent of a great buddy has brought delight to our lives. =)This race will be filled with much and tremendous joy which overflow from his love through each other lives.EGOCENTRIC IS A OFF WORD.hoey moey. crazy. hahah

Platonic Relationship: How close is too close?
DEFINITION
Platonic relationship: a pure, spiritual affection, subsisting between persons of opposite sex, unmixed with carnal desires, and regarding the mind only and it excellences.
Best friend: A confidant and support to the other. Someone you feel deeply about and care for.
Biblical best friendship: One that challenges the other towards God and to do more for Him.
Technically, having a best friendship with the opposite sex is not exactly impossible. But the thought of having one can and will be deceiving. For a person to have a best friend of the opposite sex, there must be some value or idea that they base their relationship on, be it spiritual or not (like the same things, etc.) Most of the time, they can and might justify that the reason is spiritual and thus, should not affect anything. But most of the time, we know it as a figment of their imagination that they choose to believe in. They want to create an image that they are in a relationship that is Godly, which may not be the case.
Jer 17:9
“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?”
The fact that one is in such a relationship means he/she is getting something beneficial out of it. The carnal seeks to please itself and when we are in such a relationship, the benefits are suspicious. How does this matter? It matters because the benefits might not be a spiritual origin. We would of course like to look at the positive side that the benefits are truly Godly, but we have to be careful on this lest we deceive ourselves as well. We must also not be naïve to the point that we do not see the negative side of things. For example, a guy could be in a male-female best friendship because the likes and fact that he has a chance to talk to girls, or that a girl likes to talk and confide in him (its partly an ego issue as well). He/she may have a crush on the other party and is enjoying the time they spend together.
I believe if a relationship is truly based on the fact that both parties help each other towards God then it should be all right. But at an age where our hormones are raging and when our hearts can be deceitful at all times, one can never tell. It may start of right but who knows what might happen along the way? One or both parties may start to think otherwise. As the Chinese idiom goes, “The relationship deepens as time is spent on it.” It may start of well, but it might turn out to be disastrous. Close friends maybe, but best friends? Not quite. Even if they are close friends, they must be accountable to someone spiritually more mature in case something unwise develops.
“How close is too close?” Physical contact is a definite “NO”. One must be conscious of this area. But the same principle applies when sharing, be open not naked. Two of them must understand that they might never be able to help with the other party’s problems. In a normal same gender relationship, the two will be able to identify and help. In a male-female relationship, how is the male going to help with a problem that he has never encountered because much less help out. With that in mind, sharing deeps is really tough.
CONCLUSION
I believe for cross gender best friendship to be possible, there must be some guidelines. Age and maturity could be one of the factors too. But whatever the case, we are putting both parties in a vulnerable situation, because no matter how big the age difference, no matter how mature, there is still a possibility of us falling. The results can be devastating.
The most possible cross gender best friendship that I can think of, would be in the case of a marriage. Where the two of them are best friends to each other.
I believe the key question is this, why is there a need to have a cross gender best friendship? It is not as if there are no more friends in church who are of the same gender. Why put our people or ourselves in a vulnerable situation?

proverbial sunrise
regenerate.Making my first post in this very new year of 2006. Time flew pass me in year 2005 and indeed i will say that i enjoy year 2005 and certain that i will even delight in 2006 even much more than 2005.More smiles, frowns, tears, laughter and weird expression will be painted on my face.Through this year of 2005, if i have to use a word to describe my year would be GRACE.It is something that i finally have the ability to comprehend through all the happenings.This is shown through my friendships that i have. It's clear to me as crystal of his grace gracing me through this year.Thank you Jesus.I have really made friends that i treasured a lot.Melvin, bruce, david ong, jun yao, yun kai, darly and more. That's what i can count for this year.i know there are more however due to my laziness i will not type it down.Speak of new year means my birthday have passed.I appreciate of what some people have done for me as they know what i need.Words of affirmation.I seek not cakes and gifts for all those any prebeliever can get for me.Still, the heart may cry out for those creams but it tooples when the wind hits.That's how this year birthday was.But i still like the fact that few people tried to do something for me.These people are, Matthew, Melvin, Darly, Jun yao, Bruce, Brandon and David Ong.Thank you people.Sometimes it's really certain people some humans wished they could spend their time with but due to 'imperative' reasons things head the other way. But still there are humans that still cares.Well it's over now. =) 2006. This one week will be hectic. As promised to God, I will settle those things i have too by end of this week.Thank you, Jesus.David
