The one perspective, the right perspective...


Song of the moment: Lifehouse - We'll Never Know

Failure is the only way to learn till you've come undone
The rest we'll never find out what they might have been

And we're not gonna live forever
Can you tell me is it now or never
I'm not gonna make up your mind
I don't wanna live without you and I don't wanna live a lie
We'll never know till we try
Yeah we'll never know till we try
We'll Never Know by Lifehouse

Last Saturday's FFW had Pastor Lek as speaker and his sermon about learning and growing from our disappointments really hit the spot for me (and probably for a lot of my friends too, we're they there on that day). It got me thinking about everything that has happened to me and those around me in the past 12 months. There will be times when we will be disappointed in God when things don't turn out the way we want them. The only way that we can truly move on from these hurts is when we look at things from God's perspective and realize that when we feel hurt, God feels hurt too. We always have to remember to trust in God's plans to give us a hope and a future. Even though we always think we know better, we have to remember that his plans are to prosper and not to harm us. When it seems so hard to live...we must have faith...
(As a side note, the powerpoint slide for worship went smoothly save for a slight delay when they started singing 'Give us Clean Hands'... ^_^)

Industrial Attachment is starting to get really busy now. My supervisor wants our group to start on the CBT(Computer Based Training) program for the project. While we won't be doing the actual programming of the project, we'll still be doing the storyboards for it. Then, there's still photocopying, binding and the cutting of training materials and data sheets to be done and the HTML pages for Alex. I CAN'T wait for 30th September (End of IA)....

There wasn't any cell last Friday because it was a sort of briefing session for Sunday's prayer walk. Everything went alright, though Sandar was a little late. Sunday's prayer walk had a slight complication when it came to the pairings because quite a few people didn't come. My pairing switched from Yue Seng to Agnes then to Sandar then to Pauline before strangely ending up once again with Yue Seng when it came to the actual flyer distribution/prayer walk. God's plan, perhaps? Anyways, things went well throughout the prayer walk/flyer distribution, though the weather was a little(well actually it wasn't just 'a little', it was rather warm) on the warm side (seeing that it was around 12 noon when we reached our assigned blocks, it was kind of expected...).

FIVE QUEER HABITS

Now, you all might think, "What 'FIVE QUEER HABITS'?" or "Gasp...do you mean you are QUEER(gay)?". Honestly, this is due to my good friend Natalie selecting for this rather interesting 'survey' of sorts. Since I am too lazy to write my own instructions, I'll just 'borrow' them from Nat's blog.
Nat: (ps: Just in case any of you don't understand, this is what you should do(in order). 1. Explain in your entry why you are doing this. 2. Blog down your 5 queer habits. 3. Choose your 5 victims and then tag your victims with "You Have Been Picked!" in their blogs.)
This got me thinking, do I have any queer habits to speak of? Honestly, I've always thought everything I did was normal (There will of course be people who dispute this statement...). Nonetheless, I shall entertain my 'fans' and write down whatever comes to my hopefully intellectually superior mind (LoL)...

1) I am absolutely not photogenic.
Well, is this considered a habit? I don't think Nat's 'I have sixth sense' is considered a habit so I'll just put this down. Anyways, I notice that I look ugly in like 80% of the photos which I am in. Somehow cameras just can't project my good side...(of course, I have a good side! Bleah!) Maybe I just think too much because....

2) I am a bit of a paranoid person.
No, Nat, I am not copying your 'Sixth sense'. Just mentioning the truth. This is probably due to an embarrassing event which happened to me a couple of years ago which, of course, I WILL NOT MENTION. I am very self-conscious about how I project myself in public and this leads to....

3) I will never leave the house until I consider my hair to be perfectly styled.
I just feel that the hair is the most important thing when it comes to projecting yourself in public, even ahead of what clothes I wear outside. Most likely due to this hairstyle which I keep...and that I am usually too lazy to bother to go and cut it. (PS: No hair is a BIG NO NO! So don't bother asking me to shave it or keep it short)

4) I always look out for good formatting.
Just as Nat always looks out for other people's spelling and tenses, I look out for paragraphing. I absolutely CANNOT bear to read a block of words, no matter how well written it is, if it's not paragraphed properly. So please, paragraph your text with precision and accuracy...

5) I am a indecisive/picky person.
Everytime, before I buy anything worth above $40, I would have at least done a bit of research on the thing which I am about to purchase. Still, due to variety of choices available and aggressive marketing techniques, I still find myself unsure of my purchasing decisions. Since I am a somewhat impatient person when it comes to certain things, I tend to just buy it just to get it over with. This sometimes leads to me regretting what I just bought when I finally get home and take a closer look at the product.

There, done! 5 (Queer/Not so queer/normal/those are not habits!) habits. Hope you guys are happy now...BLEAH!

Now the five people I've gladly chosen to continue this somewhat irrelevant and boring activity are (You know, I suddenly realized how so many of my blog friends have no #%$*% tag board)...
1) Cari Ann
2) Hue Min
3) Jia Wei
4) Kenneth the Kow
5) Ming Jing


Soon, you people will receive a highly irrelevant message on your tag boards informing you that you are chosen for this highly irrelevant activity...
