Had a good chat with Sok.
Been sleeping in class.
Just want to blog about what I saw. On the way home, a youth, looked here and there and grabbed food to eat. The food was used to offer the ghosts. And his mum immediately pulled him away, without scolding him though and she went on to search for things in the rubbish bin. Along with them, there was a big bag of cans.
For goodness, for once I wanted to swear not to eat snacks or buy things I don't need.
It hit me so much that, here I am, wasting things I have yet on the outside, there are people who are desperate and...
You know what I am trying to say here...
I wanted to offer the remaining $8 I had, but was wondering I could have helped them to look for job or something. Whatever it is, I have all words and no actions. but they seem healthy just, poor.
Oh ya haha, SOK, I didn't realise what I said you kept it all the way till now. I am, damn happy! =)
And well, someday we should go there again and wait for my boyfriend to appear. LOL. Sighs. I should drive car and grab is attention. Right, only you and I know what this mean.
Insecurity strikes at every chances to distract and disturb. dann it.
'Let me explain the problem science has with Jesus Christ.' The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'
'Yes sir,' the student says.
'So you believe in God?'
'Absolutely.'
'Is God good?'
'Sure! God's good.'
'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'
'Yes.'
'Are you good or evil?’
'The Bible says I'm evil.'
The professor grins knowingly. 'Aha! The Bible!' He considers for a moment.
'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?'
'Yes sir, I would.'
'So you're good!'
'I wouldn't say that.'
'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't.'
The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?'
The student remains silent.
'No, you can't, can you?' the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.
'Let's start again, young fellow, is God good?'
'Er...yes,' the student says.'Is Satan good?'
The student doesn't hesitate on this one. 'No.'
'Then where does Satan come from?'
The student: 'From...God...'
'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?'
'Yes, sir.'
'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?'
'Yes.'
'So who created evil?' The professor continued, 'If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.'
Without allowing the student to answer, the professor continues. 'Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?'
The student: 'Yes.'
'So who created them?'
The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. 'Who created them?’ There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized.
'Tell me,' he continues onto another student. 'Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?'
The student's voice is confident: 'Yes, professor, I do.'
The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?'
'No sir. I've never seen Him'
'Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?'
'No, sir, I have not.'
'Have you ever actually felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?'
'No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.'
'Yet you still believe in him?'
'Yes.'
'According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?'
'Nothing,' the student replies. 'I only have my faith.'
'Yes, faith,' the professor repeats. 'And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.'
The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of his own. 'Professor, is there such thing as heat?'
'Yes,' the professor replies. 'There's heat.'
'And is there such a thing as cold?'
'Yes, son, there's cold too.'
'No sir, there isn't.'
The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain.
'You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees.
Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat.
You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.'
Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.
'What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?'
'Yes,' the professor replies without hesitation. 'What is night if it isn't darkness?'
'You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it?That's the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?'
The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him.
This will be a good semester. 'So what point are you making, young man?'
'Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.'
The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time.
'Flawed? Can you explain how?'
'You are working on the premise of duality,' the student explains.
'You argue that there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it.'
'Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?'
'If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do.'
'Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?'
The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.
'Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?'
The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the Commotion has subsided.
'To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean.'
The student looks around the room. 'Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?' The class breaks out into laughter.
'Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, touched or smelled the professor's brain? No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due respect, sir. So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?'
Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable.
Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. 'I guess you'll have to take them on faith.'
'Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life,' the student continues.
'Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?'
Now uncertain, the professor responds, 'Of course, there is. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man.
It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.'
To this the student replied, 'Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God.
It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God.
God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart.
It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.'
The professor sat down.
WOOHOO!
the 239th post
oh finally

the blue is from RACH and purple from DONA!


Haha, drawn by SU W,ANNE and RHONDA!
DAJIE's hand! by me! HAHA
happy things first.
TAO LI IS IN OLYMPIC SWIMMING FINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARH!!! TAO LI! WOOH! HA!
My idol! Alright, wrong word, just somebody I like and admire, pretty much. HA
WOOH!
I am so proud for her! Last year she just won herself a gold medal in ASEAN games and this time she was 1st in heats4, and not to forget breaking ASEAN record with 57 + seconds and came in 3rd in semi-finals and broke her another record. so cool!
And of course, Bryan Tay, showed his power too by breaking ASEAN record by 1.28seconds!
Great job!
ARH, and Xing AiYing, the 19-year old badminton player, (world no24) won matches against world 12 and world no.8 but lose to world no 47. Too pressurised. still, there is still a long way to go! ALL the way!
And there is ronald sisilo tomorrow against Lee Chong Wei (world 2nd). ARH. badminton. at 10am tml.
so excited!
especially for Tao Li! WOO!
Oh and this Korean Swimmer Park Hae-hwan (if I am not wrong) won a gold in 400m. MAN. I was pissed. Haha, because last year, he won ASEAN swimming when our swimmers were in too! EE! lol. but Park is really cute. LOL. alright.
I am really curious, how does it feels winning in your school, then nationals, then ASEAN, and then Olmpics... All Tao Li can say it's amazing.
Indeed.
Oh ya and I thought their medals are made of jade, it was reported on news what! unless they changed or something?! hmm.
After celebration of National Day in SA, SFC had a short rehersal and went for lunch. I am so glad I joined them. We were sharing about what exactly is fear of the Lord, or rather how do you differenciate fears that we experience. HA, and it all started because Shane wanted to talk about horrible ghost stories. LOL.
And I want to thank Chesed for sending me this application where a bible is in your phone! SO COOL! lol
Alright then I had fun at east coast! I ran to Sidah and hugged her. How dramatic?!
crazy ppl. We couldn't stop laughing. Oh like when SM rode and knocked a tree?! ha, not really that bad la huh. and don't know who ran into who. And SM and I was chatting so we tried to ride side by side. She was so funny la! Once there were a few people and she shouted something which I can't remember.
And I kept souring WS. She wanted my help in suggesting what Chinese food to prepare so I came out with those she had to make it (which she can't) and I told her she should be thankful that I think so highly of her. HA!
oh gosh and we met this Uncle with 2 beautiful dogs! Oh dear, both are of the same breeds, same dad different mum. Oh well, dog affair. And one is older by 5 days but the difference in size is great! Moreover, they are only 5 months old, and Kiki is 9 months old but kiki is so much smaller. Ha, diff breed anyway.
The older is Favour (because want to gain favour in God's eyes) and another is Ab (short for Abrahim). Intersting don't you think so? Naming dogs in this way. I mean, it shows me how... on is this Uncle for God, and I like that.
And man, how I admire this man whose 2 daughters are in Austrailia (or?) and one is a horse tainer, another is also a dog trainer. Gosh. And he is hiring trainers, an employer I suppose.
Favour is gentle and elegant while Ab is very active and definitely friendly. (good kisser. JK)
I miss those 2 dogs, especially Favour when it laid down beside me and rest. orrghh, lol.


This is Ab
Favour, Ab (5days make great diff) and snoopy
Ab
man I miss BELL! That girl... never fails to make everyone's day joyful! Miss ya BELL!
and the sad moments... ha.
I had dinner at Lot 1 and this man was.. urgg. He was before me at this Yong Taufoo store and he picked ingredients such as Vege and Hotdogs while I picked all beancurds stuff. He wanted soup and beehoon while I wanted noodle and dry one. The vendors gave him soup, beehoon with MY ingredients and the man gladly took it, colouring the the whole bowl with sweet sauce and back to his seat. And I realised that when the bowl Auntie wanted to gave me was filled with Vege.
They began to have a small discussion about who shall eat the wrong bowl and forgot my presence. Well then asked me to re-pick the ingredients while the man was enjoying the food.
And, to my ulmost irritation (is this a word?), that man sat beside me.
can't help staring at him eating my ingredients. lol
wonder how is Rach's Black&White camp, must be great cus God is there! haha
if things are meant to be, it will be. I trust in Him, and He assured in the bible in Jeremiah that His plans are for us to prosper and not to harm us, so,
let go and let God.
It's ugly as quoted from LYNN. In fact she made my life happier. LOL. It's the same as her will not let herself fall in love from someone who is poor, even if that person is really marvellous. (LYNN cam't survive with no money)
I LOVE LYNN! and FISH helps alot! THANKS!
oh well, I lost my flow in this post long long time ago.
Love should have no boundaries, but love can turn ugly if .. are beginning to appear.
Let's be happy and back to the last times!
poor language. oh well, happy birthday to Jon Cham!
