Life of a small boar

I used to think that love is a choice. But today, Pastor Jaeson Ma taught me that love is not just a choice. It's far and much more than that.

Pastor Jaeson Ma became a rapper at the age of 13, had a radical encounter with God at the age of 16 and was later called to surrender his dreams in the entertainment world to become a pastor. His talent in music however, enabled him to also be a gospel messenger in the entertainment industry. Entertainers such as Vanness Wu had come to know God through Jaeson Ma.

Last year, Jaeson Ma started on a 365days love mission, to show at least one act of love each day. His journey of learning and discovering love is recorded in his blog. Click here for the original post and link to his blog.

Today, the hydrangea in my house reminded me again why it's my favorite flower. Its color had changed, from last week's blueish-purple to maroon-green.

Since I'm on the topic, second in line on my favorite list would be the plumeria. Used to be my favorite back in high school, before I came to know of hydrangea.

Simply let your 'yes' be 'yes' and your 'no','no'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. Matthew 5:37

Although vows and oaths are common, Jesus taught that our words alone should be enough if we are known as persons of our word. Truthfulness seems rare nowadays that we feel we must end our statements with 'I promise.' However, if we tell the truth at all times, we wouldn't feel the need to back our our words with oaths.

Above all, my brothers, do not swear - not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your 'yes' be 'yes' and your 'no', 'no' or you will be condemned. James 5:12

Some may say that truth is often the sharpest dagger,
and lies at most times are kindness....

I want my simple words to be believable.
I will choose truth.

Similarly,
I wish I can always believe you

During the prayer service this week;

Pastor: So let's now break into pairs and pray for each others' prayer needs. Husbands and wives separated,k?

Mum: Okay, so what prayer needs you have? Fyp? Job placements?

Me(sheepishly): I want a car......

Mum(sweat look): You telling me or telling God?

Me: ermm... both?

hehehe...... my mum is quite cute sometimes =P

對這個世界如果你有太多的抱怨
dui zhe ge shi jie ru guo ni you tai duo de bao yuan

跌倒了就不敢繼續往前走
die dao le jiu bu gan ji xu wang qian zhou

為什麼人要這麼的脆弱 墮落
wei she me ren yao zhe me de cui ruo duo luo

請你打開電視看看
qing ni da kai dian shi kan kan

多少人為生命在努力勇敢的走下去
duo shao ren wei sheng ming zai nu li yong gan de zhou xia qu

我們是不是該知足
wo men shi bu shi gai zhi zu

珍惜一切 就算沒有擁有
zhen xi yi qie jiu xuan mei you yong you

When you harbor endless whines and complains towards the world
When you fall and loose the guts to move forwards
Why are human such weak creatures?
Would you please on the television
and see how many are fighting courageously to move forward in life?
Shouldn't we be contented?
Appreciate everything even if you think you don't have much

While news of animal testing lab is all hyped, when every other day we hear of pets abandoned, doggies put to sleep just because of mild injuries, when we can't help but question human hearts nowadays, a picture like this reminds me that someone cares and the world is not yet hopeless.

Life goes on for this brown darling. It doesn't look depressed. In fact, it's far from depressed. *what don't breaks us makes us stronger* It's an amazing sight =)

ps. if only our community cares just s much for these adorable creatures.

Why are human so quick to judge?
Do we get satisfaction or a sense of righteous at listing others' wrong?
Do we feel superior by labeling others a level lower to us?

How often though, have we wailed
That no one seems to understand us?
That people mistreat us?
That people spread nasty gossips unfair to us?
That some friends turned backstabber?
That we felt so alone?
Well, have we ever thought that the same girl/boy we're bitching about might be going through the same thing?
I wonder

She's right.
We know only her name, and perhaps a little of what we see with our eyes. How much more sides to her life is there that we know not of? What gives us the right to tell her she's wrong?

She's right.
We are not her. We'll never know what she went through and why she made this decision. We can encourage or advise, but who are we to decide for her? Who are we to say what she should and should not do? She has her reasons, and if she choose not to share, what right do we have to squeeze it out of her?

He's right.
Just because he's a generally nice person does not make him a saint! Emotion is a part of human being, and just because he lost his temper ONCE, does not make him a bad tempered person with no sportsmanship.

He's right.
Just because he's young and successful at young age, does not mean he's from a well off family, fed off from gold spoon since day one on Earth. Btw, what if he is? Why the bother? Why are human so bitter about others' success, determine to find loophole that he did not make the money himself? If one's so eager to comment, then please search thoroughly on his childhood before doing so.

She's right.
Kind and generous does not equals to a doormate, and not helping people on every request presented to her does not mean she's not kind.

And there are these about her, her, him, them, her, him and many more.
We do not know what happened in their lives. Do not add salt to their wound. If we have no good things to say, and be content with our mouths shut!

Especially on relationships, be it friends or couples. If we are not a party involved, then we will NEVER know for sure what exactly happen. I wouldn't go so far as to say there's o right and wrong. I believe there IS right and wrong in a relationship, but we shall never know for sure, who's right and who's wrong. If our friend is involved, it's natural to be one sided, however, be a comfort, but not a a decision maker. It's not our decision to make.

I'm definitely no better than anyone else. When juicy gossip turns my way, hard to resist isn't it? ;P This post serves as a reminder to me and anyone else who reads, I guess =)

Song Title:梦开始的原点


一步一步和自己追逐
没有极限的路途
终点在不远处
时间已开始倒数
记分牌上清楚的写着
我得到的分数
我不得不承认
我已付出了全部
Step by step I race against myself
on an endless route
destination is somewhere within grasp
the countdown has started
the scoreboard shows clearly
scores I've made so far
I have to admit
I've give it my all


就让我的心回到
梦开始的原点
有多少白天黑夜
忍着眼泪流着汗水
我坚持走到今天
我愿用生命表演
成败与得失之间
告诉自己坦然面对
就算我最后只能带着微笑流着泪水
我已经尽力而为
我可以无怨无悔
Let me return to the time
when dream was first found
countless days and nights of
resisting the flows of tears with my sweats
I've come this far
willing now to perform with my life

win and defeat, gain and loss
i told myself to face it take it as it is
even if at the end I can only smile with tears flowing
I have tried my best
I have no regrets


已经忘了桌上的日历
翻过多少辛苦
对自己说我不在乎
不到最后我不认输
记分牌上清楚的写着
我完成的记录
我不得不承认
我以付出了全部
I have forgotten the calender on the desk
how much records of hardship it bears
I told myself 'it's alright'
that I fight till the end
the scoreboard shows clearly
records of my past journeys
I have to admit
I have give it my all


这一刻我让记忆回到梦开始的原点
有多少白天黑夜
忍着伤痛流着汗水
就怕输赢的关键
我还是差了一点
成败与得失之间
告诉自己坦然面对
就算我最后只能带着微笑流下泪水
感动已装满心田
我早已无怨无悔
At this moment, let me return
to when dream was first found
countless of days and nights
resisting tears flowing with my sweats

Fear that the thin line between victory and defeat
I needed just that lil bit more in me
between gain and loss
I told myself to face it as it is
even if I have to smile with tears in the end
Hearts have been touched
I have no more regrets

我早已无怨无悔
I have no more regrets

How many of us can actually say, we have no regrets?
