fascinated

站在交通灯旁的我，
专注的眼神，
凝视着身旁的一些外国劳工在移动一架庞大的机器上一辆lorry。
不知为何我的目光完全的被他们夺走。
连红灯转绿了，我也不晓得。
迎面而来的路人都用奇异的眼神看着我，
我好paisei哦！

人生的小插曲，值得一提，值得一blog.
haha!

i dunno

Why am I blogging when I have so many things to do?
I also don't understand.
Sometimes I just have dozen of things that I feel I won't be able to understand.
Or should I even attempt to understand?

Oh I sound like the Taiwan comic artist Jimmy now.
His works are always filled with a tint of sadness nowadays.
Did something happen to him?
I remember him writing about happy things in his first few books.
But, now, no more.

“大树人越长越高，
有一天他会高过一间小房子，
高过一栋小楼房，
高过一座小山。
但是他的心永远停留在
小时候听莫扎特时那个幸福的时刻。”

The 10 commandments of wedlock

We're getting....

nah... Not married. Haha!

I saw this "10 commandments" at her place and find it funny, but also something not to be taken seriously.

1. Marriages are made in heaven. But so are thunder and lightning.
2. If you want your wife to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.
3. Marriage is grand - and divorce is at least 100 grand!
4. Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbours listen.
5. When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing. Either the car is new or the wife is.
6. Marriage is when a man and woman becomes as one. The trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
7. Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you say. After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish.
8. Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical, and a good cook. But the law allows only one wife.
9. Marriage and love are purely matters of chemistry. That is why a husband thinks that his wife is sweet before marriage and sour after.
10. A man is incomplete until he is married. After that, he is finished.

Genting fun!

I went to Genting last week with some really interesting people!

Today's devotional is beautiful...

Never Say Amen

by Jon Walker

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping.

“Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter.

Matthew 26:40 (NIV)

*** *** *** ***

Today’s guest devotional is provided by Jon Walker

–Read this devotional as a prayer:

Help me, Lord, to develop a strong prayer life.

I know you desire intimacy with me, and you want me to watch with you and pray

(Matthew 26:40).

Yet, I never seem to find the time to pray in a deep, fervent, consistent, persistent way.

What draws me to my knees the most is when I have a problem, when I want something from you, when I need your help.

I’m flipping through my calendar, stressing with commitments, and you just want to hang out – with me.

Help me turn my prayers into conversations with you that keep flowing throughout the day, an on-going communication where I never say “Amen.”

Keep me close to you, no matter what it takes.

I’m not sure I really want to pray that;

I have bruises and scars from “whatever it takes” discipleship,

but, then again, I confess the crush of these moments have taught me to throw myself on the stone before the stone falls on me.

And that has moved me closer to the love that compels my obedience, closer to becoming one with your heart.

So, I’m asking that you change me until my deepest want is to be with you.

With this I pray that you will create me worthy of my calling and that your power will fulfill every good purpose you plan for me and energize everything I do in faith.

My prayer is that your life will emerge in my face and in my hands, in my thoughts and in my words. I know your grace will make it so (paraphrase of 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12, NIV).

And if I manage to recover from this illness, that'll be another TG!

I have been having fever for 4days since friday night. There's muscle ache, fatigue, feeling of vomiting and etc. Thank God there is no rash.

I went to see the doc today and he suspects that it might be Chikungunya Fever (a new mosquito transmitted illness sth like dengue). So he drew my blood for a blood test. It was so scary! He poked the needle in, it felt like an intense pinch, then he twisted it around cuz there was no blood flowing out. So he twisted again and again until the dark red concentrated liquid flows out. Wooo... Scary.

So I've got to wait for the blood test before I know if it's Dengue or Chikungunya or just my body being rebellious at times.

God bless me!
