Lalalala...
today didn't really do much in school.. for you guys out there.. currently in the midst of doing my FYP aka Final Year Project.. pretty cool i must say.. but the lab work is boring really.. imagine preparation of media can take you up to 2.5 hours.. and it's just weighing, dissolving and adjusting to right pH.. then still need to autoclave for another 2 hours and later pour plates. sound boring to ya? well.. can be exciting at times though it's boring. imagine yourself having to deal with problems that arises from such simple steps..
it's interesting to see people like myself getting work up over small little problems, big fuss small fuss over obstacles. but the end result is still the same: job done. Sometimes it's the little things that makes life interesting. HAha.. oh yah.. thank God for my project partner man.. found us so many things to do.. lol.. and his name is Julian. Imagine.. Julian and Junius, Junius and Julian, Julian and Junius......... (sorry.. just laming..)
pretty bored u see.. hahaha.. this Sunday is Friends' Connection!! yay!! invited a few friends but well, they can't make it.. still waiting for one answer though.. think i hit her quite hard.. lol.. you guys know me la.. super extreme de.. Saturday is cell group meeting at rallen's house.. this guy so lucky.. join ministry not too long and he's going to Osaka for performance representing the church. imagine it's an all-expense paid trip including accomodation and per meal allowance of $15!!! it's almost like all you need is to bring shopping money and that's it.. still got money left over somemore!! so envious man.. anyone tempted? lol..
remember to go there and glorify God with your skills k rallen? and dun forget us also.. presents!! Heheeeee..
currently my life all alright.. there are some improvements here and there but not much.. dun really see much positivity in what i'm doing.. somehow can sense that something is missing.. it's like got no mood to do things when you don't feel His presence around.. guess that teached me to constantly have Him in mind because it is Him whom we want to glorify and live for..
seriously when i just reflected on the things i did in the past.. all the relationships and experiences from the past.. can really see the transition of how i used to be and who i am now.. not saying that i'm perfect now but glad to say i was not like in the past when i was so shut off from the world and was super super super innocent. you tell me or talk to me about relationships when i'm in sec 3 ar.. only one response from me.. 'Huh? what are you talking about?' Lol.. it's that bad.. awareness grew stronger.. and no longer that selfish as compared to last time.. because i grew up in a super protective environment when my world is all about me, myself and I that i just become selfish, super selfish. on the contrary, i would be more open and unselfish towards my friends.
always seem to have a weird behaviour. i can place my friends above my family. partly because of the time spent with friends rather than home. sometimes we just fail to see the importance of our family as compared to friends. although we know family is important, we still fail to acknowledge the fact that they are more dear to us than anything else apart from God. hmm.. weird right? many of my friends have such a problem.. what about you? do you experience the same thing as i did?
for my family, it's pretty traditional in a sense we believe in spending quality and quantity time together, but i seem to fail to spend even quality time with my family. somehow just want to change that fact but can't ignore the other commitments i have.. maybe by the time i learn to balance all that i have, more responsibilities will come in. it's always the case.. actually i realise Chrisitian lifestyle and normal lifestyle as non-Christians are about the same, except in different context. for example.. both lifestyles requires commitments; both needs time and effort to work on to make it better; both have it's ups and downs etc.
but got one difference.. a lifestyle as a Christian teaches us to put God first in our life, to share and love others; while a non-Christian lifestyle teaches us to put self as first in our life, at times being selfish. True? Up to you to judge..
Got 2 verses which i want to share..
Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
Matthew 5:16 - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
These 2 verses.. spoke to me on 2 different occasions. but they meant the same thing.. If we do the works of God according to His purpose, He'll never shortchange us for we glorify His name through our works because we love Him. If we can just apply this to serving other people, wouldn't it be great because when we know we go all out to serve people just like how we serve God, people will not only benefit from it, but learn to do the same also. Well, that's how people are touched by kindness, that's why people are doing community services, that's why we have people donating their money for a better cause. It's all for a better cause..
For me, i kind of want to do both. I'm beginning to see the fruits when i start to serve people, when i do community services, i'm beginning to see how people is happy when we are there to care for them. i believe God is the same. When He sees us serving Him to glorify Him through the works according to His purpose, He is happy.
(by the way that's another revelation for myself)
2 occasions recently that make me feel the way according to the revelation i stated above.
One was 2 tuesdays ago when i was in Red Cross Home for Disabled. (for you guys who dunno the group that the Home looks after? they actually takes care of people who are suffering from physical disabilities like muscle deustrophy (dunno how to spell) and celebral palsy etc.) Was having a conversation with one of the residents, name is Christopher. He was telling me about his need, what he does, and a brief idea about his life in RCHD. was so touched really, because despite his disabbilities, he still enjoys the way he is now, and sees life as exciting as some of us does. wanting to go out to see the world and stuff. Was really motivated to organise better programmes so that the residents, at end of day, may enjoy themselves and their life will never be the same again. So wanting to do that, by doing something out of the world, something which i think may be impossible but with God nothing is impossible!!
Second occasion was when i served in Dialect Church last Sunday. Was supposed to help by bringing senior citizens to the Auditorium to listen to dialect service, of which a lot are wheelchair-bound. so alot of manpower was needed then. had the chance to talk to a few of them and amazingly they are very open, very polite also, never fail not to say thank you. and the way they serve God.. really shocking lor.. very enthusiastic even at their age.. amazing.. :P
pretty happy after the whole thing as i view life in a different perspective, totally different. knowing that age isn't a limit to serve God, as long as you have the desire to.
think my entry is long enough le.. later people scold me for writing too long again.. haha..
see ya peeps! *hope it wasn't too windy*
