The Shulamite I am dark, but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, Like the tents of Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon. Do not look upon me, because I am dark, Because the sun has tanned me. The Beloved If you do not know, O fairest among women, Follow in the footsteps of the flock, And feed your little goats Beside the shepherds’ tents. (Song of Solomon 1:5-8) Certainly God speaks to me. Just as I was feeling very conscious of myself due to my specs and also I began to feel annoyed when there was a black man that accidentally knocked my shoulders on my way to church. I was so surprised and guilty of my reaction cause it has been years since I last felt so annoyed. Like usually I am not bothered about small things like that. Then I just felt so condemned that I reacted in such a nasty manner. And certainly, Pastor Prince preached about the Song of Solomon where the bride is speaking to the bridegroom. We are the bride and Jesus is the bridegroom. In this verse, the bride was saying that she is dark like the tents of Kedar (Kedar's tent are like black in colour) yet she is lovely as the curtains of Solomon (which is really beautiful). Yet, she is more conscious of the fact that she is dark as seen from the verses behind. All along, it was her that is speaking, but when she asked the bridegroom where He feed the flock and rest them, He replied for the first time," If you do not know, O fairest among women...". Notice in this verse, Despite the fact that she thinks she is dark, yet He calls her fairest among women (most beautiful among all women in NIV). Just as we are the bride, we are the fairest in His eyes and we ought to be conscious of that. I ought not be conscious of my specs or whatsoever, but be conscious of His glory and beauty in me. And also the fact that I felt annoyed sometimes, its just because I am living in this fallen world, and am in flesh. Though my bad habits have been taken away through the cross, yet there is inclinations that exist just because I live in this world. Just like how our ears still hear the rings of a bell even though the bell stops ringing, so are our bad habits. Yet do not feel condemn, but know that God is our righteousness. And we are His righteousness. There is no condemnation in Christ. And when I know that, I just am not bothered about small things like these again.

Yes, it is when we take MRT. When the announcement of the yellow line (music) starts and the door opens, all will rush into the empty train and snatch to sit on the seats. Those who do not snatch will have to stand which is their forfeit. Well, just an interesting observation I always wanted to express.

This thought still lingers in my mind. It was actually told by my trainer yesterday as I was sitting behind and preparing for some stuff. Its meant to be a joke but I find it particularly meaningful. There was someone who ask another person why God did not answer his prayer. The other person replied,"Who says God never answer your prayer, maybe God's answer is No?" And the reason why it is no is because we are not prepared. We want to be somewhere, but then again, our character, our strengths, our endurance are not built, if God had allowed what we want to happen, it might just overwhelm us. So the time might not be right for now. For all things has its season.
Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.(1 Timonthy 4:12-14). Many a times, we let our age determine what we should do and what we should not. Many times, there are things I want to do like giving talks but always something just stopped me making me think that I am too young, who will want to listen? Also I wanted to draw and publish a book. But then again, something just stop me again, making me feel that I am too young, who will want to read such a young author's book? Yet, this message just spoke to my heart. All I need is the word (bible) for all encouragement and answers come from there and not from man. Do not neglect my gift. My gift of drawing and speech. Do not belittle them for it is of the Lord. I should persevere in them and therefore others shall see my progress. What does this means? It means I need to do something just as little as given, and not idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossops and busybodies, saying things which they ought not (1 Timonthy 5:13) (well, I do not like gossips and busybodies)

Met up with June for dinner. As we are chatting, she shared this verse with me. If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God: I too, want to have these blessings. But I always wonder how? I can't possibly follow all the laws in the bible. Then she said:"I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds (Hebrews 10:16)." Oh yes... just by following my heart, I have fulfilled God's commandent! Amen. She also shared about the verse that said that what little we have, when we make use of it, God will multiply it more. I have the talent of drawing, if I were to make use of the little talent I have, God will certainly multiply more. This just gives me faith to continue drawing.

I have read about the reason why but after reading "Nurturing the winner and genius in your child" by Adam Khoo and Gary Lee that sparks of some inspiration to write this entry. This book was loan to be by a colleague at work. Well, actually wanted to just see the illustrations in this book to aid in my comic drawings. However, ended up reading the contents cause it was too interesting. I also found out that although its for parents, I find it applicable even in my life as a student. And also for coaching my students. But I prefer to talk about the reasons why some people are absorbed in their world of virtual games. In actual fact, most of the people who spend most of their time playing games are in the state of denial. Being in a world of intense competition like Singapore where everything and everyone demands the best out of us, it forces us to feel that we are incompete to achieve certain things. However, being in a virtual world where we can control and manipulate characters in just a stroke of buttons, give us a false sense of control. We are able to control the fate of the characters and eventually getting the outcome of what we wanted by becoming super heros in the game. "This prolonged use of computer games could result in the commitment of their nervous system to responding solely to instant gratification and this explain why parents today are finding it harder to motivate their teens to study". However, there is a reason why gamers are able to fully concentrate in the game but not in class. The answer lies in simply the utilization of both the left and right brain. By playing the game, it actually enables gamers to use their logic, analysis, language to interact with other gamers and solve mysteries thereby activating their left rain while the colours, movements, emotions activate their right brain. Therefore, in order to study effectively, one has to make use of both parts of the brain which is elaborated in this book as well as "I am gifted, so are You".

Towards the end of the day, they had a basketball game. Initially I thought since I was going to meet Ash for movie, I thought that it was not good to be late so I rejected the offer to join them for basketball. Actually I so much wanted to see them play basketball. Like looking at people you know playing basketball is a total different experience compared to watching basketball. The only thing was that if all are playing, it only left me who is not playing and only seeing. Somehow, I supposed I really treasure the little time I have over here. When God's favour surrounds me, I always find the place I am in and the people I met so favourable to me. This will make me feel sad if I am leaving. Again, this shall be a place of found memories. Just like the days at SAM. Thank you Jesus, for this wonderful experience.

He embraced Christianity in the mid-1970s and God has blessed him so much since then. God has made him the head and not the tail, above only and never beneath (Deuteronomy 28:13). He will never disappoint those who put their trust in Him. I believe He will also take me to places far beyond what I can ever imagine or think of. Jesus is the solution to everything. He is my creatively, He is my diligence, He is my wisdom, He is lover, He never leave me or forsake me even when I am at my lowest, almost forgotten by the world. Yet, He never leaves me. He knows how I feel and provide me with consolation. As what Tony Blair also said that in a rich world, " without spiritual values, there is an emptiness that cannot be filled by material goods and wealth". I totally agree with that. How often do you feel that even when you have done all entertainment like clubbing, drinking, dancing, movies and yet there is still an emptiness in your heart? The emptiness will cause some people to lose their self and find love in all the wrong places. But there is truly One who really loves you and wants to embrace you with His everlasting love and mercy. Therefore, the question lies in whether you want to be loved by the one who will love unconditionally.

Not really going to share what he said which you can either buy his book or attend his course. He shared something I never hear before about his wife and him. There is this book that read, "The 5 languages of Love". 1) Physical touch 2) Words of affection 3) Gifts 4) Acts of service 5) Quality time Basically different people has different ways of experiencing love. Some people felt love in one or two of the above mentioned ways. He described about the way how differently both of them experienced love but soon found out the strategy to communicate with what each other thinks what love is. Physical touch is for instance need of hugs and kisses, while words of affection are "I love You etc", gifts is giving flowers, chocolates etc, acts of service are like doing little things like fixing things at home etc and lastly quality time is listening attentively to what other party is saying and shopping with her. (description of more to how a female felt love for that last 3 points) To a certain extent, I think its quite true. Actually I felt that all applies to me though some has a bigger impact. Well, don't feel like telling you what is my soft spot. Haha... Anyway, you all can think of which ways makes you feel love. Its quite interesting.
