Times when…
Posted by: 2161aneres on: July 12, 2009
There will be times when I have to admit that I’ve been really stupid and dumb.
There will be times when I would be in the stage of denial.
But when the truth is accepted, I am really set free. 
Then, I will see that actually, it is not that worthy to be sad about it anyway. shrugs.
Most of the times…

I prefer the one I love to have a better life…. without me, after analyzing everything.
I began to understand more about my abilities and drives to do the things that I want to set out to do… It cannot be stopped. The drive cannot be halted. An unexplainable drive that propels against all fear and the unknown. It is like a default already set. It is even stronger than the fear of being alone. And it keeps getting stronger. That is what I will set out to do……
There’s one less thing to trouble me now. And the rest is just to focus on what I should do for the future ahead.
I just thank God for all my friends, and the time I have spent with them. Each one of them is so unique and cute. All have their special ways. I do hope God will watch over them and guide them and bless them all…It will all be cherished for a long long time, kept in memories. Taken with me to the furthest corner of the world, one day looking back, I’ll still smile when thinking of them. All of them. None forgotten
Learnt important lessons from Uncle Chris today. Something new I’ve learnt regarding the Holy Spirit. “Why do we have to allow the Holy Spirit to get stronger in us when it is already all strong?” Uncle Chris replied, “Because the Holy Spirit cannot force itself onto anyone, as it is a gentle spirit. Read the Bible and Pray more……… . . . . . . “
I have to be more proactive and stop being passive about the important things in life.
Even though this year I’ve really been tested on my faith, again and again… I’m learning new things each time, even now, my faith is still being tested, by friends’ questions and thoughts.. Those different and alternative views are definitely good questions, and I will try my best to find those answers and land the verdict once again, upon the throne of faith. Soon.
Ode to Michael..
Posted by: 2161aneres on: July 8, 2009
I just have to blog about this man. The King of Pop died during my generation… that will be well remembered. I managed to watch a little bit of his funeral service late last night live on Channel 5….
When I was just 3 or 4, my cousin brother and I, of whom we live together, were already dancing to his songs, and my cousin really had idolized him then, of which I’m also influenced. My cousin would always challenge me to the moonwalk and the dance steps then. And seeing Michael will always remind me a shadow of my cousin, as he follows his actions very well..
Michael has always been the coolest thing around on the earth, ever since the bad stuff about him emerges.
To think that he practically had no childhood, being beaten often by his dad, and that is why he can dance so well, as he had been dancing all of his life.
I remembered the chapter in the bible in John 8. When an adulteress was caught in the action, and brought to Jesus: (From John 8:3-11-NIV)
3The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?”6They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.“ 8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11“No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
Even Jesus, the King of Kings did not condemn the woman, but asked her to leave her life of sin. I’m sure, we should stop condemning Michael no matter what.. as we are with sin as well…… But he was found not guilty at the final verdict due to insufficient evidence…. Even though he has a lot of fame, wealth..etc, but his life was definitely not an easy one.
This is my strong sentiment about his death. He is one cool guy, and I do hope he is right now in Heaven, even though I have no way of knowing…..
Here’s my favorite song from him- Billie Jean (this song was always played in the mornings in my old office):
One touch

I used to listen to music whenever I’m feeling down, as it makes me feel better. Ten years ago, that was going to HMV, and staying hours there. But now, it’s more of searching for songs on youtube and praying too.
Passed by this song, called One Touch by Nicole Mullen. I am refreshed by how she tells the story of the woman in Luke 8:40-48, from that woman’s perspective, who reached out to touch Jesus’s cloak hem, in her faith to be healed of her bleeding disease of twelve years, of which, she had spent everything she had on it.
This song made me feel better, more of it, is the message in it.
Oh Happy Day!

Sometimes, when people made us angry or very annoyed or rude…etc, we should keep our peace, go to a quiet place, pray to God about it, and then forgive them.
This song above is very nice. I like the lyrics. Meaningful.
Oh happy day (oh happy day)
Oh happy day (oh happy day)
When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed)
When Jesus washed (when Jesus washed)
Jesus washed (when Jesus washed)
Washed my sins away (oh happy day)

(La, la, la, la, la)
La, la, la, la, la
Oh happy day (oh happy day)

Sing it like you mean it, oh….

What a day.
Met LH and her friends.
The OC in Orchard is really beautiful, the escalators are really high… and scary when looking down, so is the Ion at Orchard. I think they look nicer than the esplanade. hehe. Slightly more artistic and more advanced technology I think.
Realised that I will miss her so much. Nearly cried while waiting for her at the mrt just now.
Carpe Diem

Lots of things for today.
Make it mine:
A happy day
Posted by: 2161aneres on: July 1, 2009
It is rare that it was such a happy day today. At least to me.
Woohoo! Happy! (hyuk hyuk)
So relieved and so happy!!
Nowadays, I’ve been asking myself a lot about things in life, like what is love. What is marriage…etc. I’ve realised that there’s only one thing that I need to know…. These topics are now seen with a new perspective, which I have never thought of before. Maybe I’m finally getting more sensible. hehehe.
Infused with a sense of purpose
Nobody, nobody but You!
Th. Finally!

I’m just so elated after fixing my two front teeth at the dentist today, ever since a bicycle accident 5 years ago, leaving the two broken front teeth chipped and zig-zagged, the filling done then had already eroded over the last 2 years, becoming shorter than how it used to be, making me look weird and not being able to pronounce some sounds. And I was surprised that it is actually called filling and not crowning, not that expensive as I thought it would be.
I can finally return back to my normal speech ability of pronoucing the resonants “th” and “sh” properly. I need to speak well for my speaking IELTS test next month. So happy!! Thank God! I feel like I’m a new creation. Seriously. Nothing beats being able to pronounce those words properly.
A few mm.s increase in the length of the two front teeth can actually make so much difference. Goes back to how I look like before the bicycle accident, but those two teeth, looked better than then. Guess things happen for a reason.
And several other good things happened today.
Definitions of…
Posted by: 2161aneres on: June 29, 2009
Define, if you can, of these words below. You may find that each of them holds a different meaning to each individual, and being controversial too.
-Extreme
-Normal
-Abnormal
-Best
You may discover that you need a standard to measure these with. The answer lies with what kind of standard you use…
There are still infinite things that I don’t know much or understand much of. I don’t know if these can be explained as a natural instinct or something inbuilt.
I’ve started questioning myself about a lot of things in life. Of which, I do see that God’s words and His Ways are there to protect us. Nothing too extreme to be doing something that is the most beneficial to oneself.
I can choose not to trust a lot of things. But I have to trust His ways, His timing, His promises and His commands…..
