Petty things we argue and fight, while there are people out there who could be losing what is precious to them most. We who have fathers, mothers and siblings, who are still alive and beside us, tend to take them for granted. Is it necessary for everyone to go through what these people went through in order to know how much our family can mean to us?
Why do we have to have war? Everyone is bound to have someone they love and cherish. Sometimes because of our selfishness, there are people out there hurt and at loss because their love ones are no longer around them. Then there are also those that are praying that their love ones return safely. Take just 10 minutes to view this video. If you have a heart, you sure won't regret it.

Teaching
Anyone who ever thought of becoming a teacher, please do check if you have anger management problem and if your patient enough to deal with not so very smart students. Whenever you propose to teach someone or even agree to teach someone, please be aware that its possible not EVERYONE thinks like you.
I realized one of the reason why students or younger children stop asking adults or teachers questions anymore. If they don't understand things, why do they not ask? True, sometimes it could be because the students or children don't wanna look stupid or less smarter than the rest of the kids. But wanna know another reason I found?
The ones that agrees to teach, or even the people that proposes to teach the student/kid, sometimes forgot to watch their anger and start sayin very discouraging things to the child. (E.g. Why you cannot understand such simple things? Whats so hard bout this?) To be honest, I realize that its becoming a trend. That friends are even speaking to their friends the same way when teaching. Or even older siblings to younger siblings.
And to think many adults wonder why students don't ask questions if they don't understand. You want the child to ask what he/she don't understand. You want them to be really clear they understand. But, if they r still confuse, you go discourage them. How does that help? By discouragin them you make them feel stupider, which was exactly what they wanted to avoid.
But to the youths, we can't always blame the adults. Even in work, a mistake was done in the office, some boss' do discourage their employees when not satisfied with the work. Doing so, the adults could release the anger out on the child.
But you know what, I believe why the adults are like tht in the first place, well, number one the scolding person wanna look smart, wanna feel good and well, show you that they are smarter and higher standard than you. Number two, they just got it while they were a kid themself. What environment you're in, what experience you had, all this shapes you to how you will respond, react and think.
So yea, if only we stop discouraging ppl that are slower to understand, we probably make a difference. I admit, sometimes I myself have discouraged my sister telling her like "How can you not get tht? Its tht easy..". Reason? It felt good. Also, I was running out of patience.
So ppl, if you ever wanna teach. Please don't discourage. Also, check your patience level. Avoid teaching if you can, unless you're really sure you won't destroy the person's confidence level.
Thats it.

A New Chapter
The book of Hebrews is what I have decided to read next. Not sure why but may God leads. As I have put out the verse, Hebrews 2: 14-15. It is somewhat similar to John 3:16. However it explains what He was doing on the cross. The very unconditional love that no one can ever fathom. He loves you, He loves me, and He loves everyone no matter who you are. No matter whether you accept Him or reject Him. He just loves you.

Challenge?
40 Days Fast and Prayer has started!! Everyone is praying for all over the world to be in peace and harmony. Everyone is hoping to have a brighter future where there is no war. Every youth and child is wondering what their future will be like. So ppl, are you prepared to join us to pray for our nation? For your children's future?
Even as I pray and fast, I wondered what God will challenge me. I wondered if I should do something extra besides praying only. So far I've got 2. Which I hope is enough =P.
When God challenges, I know He doesn't expect me to fulfill it. God never forces, but He does provide you opportunity to experience His amazing-ness. A Spiritual encounter. A relationship deeper than anything in this world.
So yea, here are my 2 challenges, feel free to encourage me, cause no matter how easy it seems to some, its quite challenging for me =P.
1. To post up different verse(s) everyday as encouragement or meaning.
2. To bring this one friend I have in mind to Christ or remember Christ.
Lol!! Friends, dun be offended ^^. I only want you to experience the joy I feel when I experience Him. There is surely a reason why I would like u to join me =).
Thats all for now.

You Alone
Truly Lord You alone are my strength and reason I smile each and every day. Without You I probably would not find as much strength to stand against the new day that comes.
Lyrics:
Who, oh Lord, could save themselves,
Their own soul could heal?
Our shame was deeper than the sea
Your grace is deeper still
You alone can rescue, You alone can save
You alone can lift us from the grave
You came down to find us, led us out of death
To You alone belongs the highest praise
You, oh Lord, have made a way
The great divide You heal
For when our hearts were far away
Your love went further still
Yes, your love goes further still
You alone can rescue, You alone can save
You alone can lift us from the grave
You came down to find us, led us out of death
To You alone belongs the highest praise
We lift up our eyes, lift up our eyes
You’re the Giver of Life
We lift up our eyes, lift up our eyes
You’re the Giver of Life
<3 ~

Everyday I laugh and chat with you, it seems almost we're like so close. However each new day I see your face, I get the feeling of how far behind I am from you. We walk side by side but in my mind u walk ahead. I don't get your thoughts, I don't understand how you think. Sometimes I think your words holds an empty vacuum. Words without meaning. You may not seem competitive, but you yearn to be higher than all of us do you not? Sometimes thinking of a certain thing makes me think of you. Lesser than friends? Rivals? Words words words... Everything seems so complicated. Or maybe its just me =)..

Over The Limit
Cant believe my instinct to get sick was actually correct. During the hols I've just been up and about, gettin sick, tanned, lazy and etc. Sick not once but twice. Even so, I've a tendency to always ignore my health, meaning I would still go out as if I'm fine when I'm not.
Uni just started and I got sick again. Unlike being at home in your comfy room, I was stuck in class, listening to not very interesting lectures and tryin to ignore my sickness.
To top it off, went lunch with friends after lectures and started to be drowsy. Its like you are going deaf, not everything ur friends say seems to be intercepting, ur head just aches and you just wanna go home n SLP.
By the time we got back to uni n I was driving home, my mind just seem to go blank. Dangerous to drive at a time like tht ppl!! Trust me. My mind was like just set on gettin home to bed, "almost" not caring who was on the road and how curv-y the road was.
But gettin better now. Thank God I have a day off frm uni today. No classes so far on thurs, I'm so happy!! Fever and sore throat, bad combo and not a nice feeling when ur tryin to slp. Ok, I'm off to bed soon. Still feeling slpy. Tomoro I'm off to uni again. Ta-ta~
