investments.

15Jan12

over the course of life under the sun
we have the tendency to downplay eternity.

juggling between work, social life, family, and what not.
i’m seeing a lack of spirituality in the society i’m in right now.

we pay little regard to what’s going on beyond our timeline and field of physics.

is living the good life, being kind to one another, abstaining from criminal acts,
donating to the unfortunate, taking a few empathizing photos with orphans

really enough to fill the spiritual gap in our lives?

it’s undeniable that we all have a spirit, sure science cannot prove it.
but science could not disprove it as well.

else we’d be like any beast in the field. indiscriminate.

so what are we feeding it with?

we work out and eat right, physical.
we solve problems, mental/intellectual.
we listen to music, emotional.
we communicate, social.

but what are we doing with what is arguably the most important constituent of life?

in high school when we still had to learn Pendidikan Jasmani dan Kesihatan
one of the major facets of life that balances life itself includes the rohani(spirit).

the Chinese radio station:

“modern life is a little like this:
we have a house 屋, no family 家.
we have entertainment 娱乐, no joy 快乐.
we have…..”

forgot the rest of it, but basically it says that we have the materials to
create or hold something far more profound than a house, or entertainment in itself.
like joy, and love.

but ironically(hello, fel)
it seems that we’re more caught up with the materials than
what it’s originally created for.

my own interpretation.

if we view life relative to eternity, we learn that life here is
but a dress rehearsal for the next.

invest in the right things.

uniformity.

04Jan12

uniforms here I come!

school starts tomorrow, it’s a brand new beginning.
at the same time it’s just a continuation from the year before.

i can’t just throw the ‘past baggage’ out my window,
some things stick to you till you resolve them.

like past exam grades (got to work hard on this),
assignments, projects, r & d…

… and so it begins >:)

/game face.
/self-motivation.

anyway, on a happier note.
we celebrated Mun Keong…
or should I say Pastor Soo’s 31st [?] birthday at Bangsar on New Year’s Eve.

it was also his 1 year anniversary since he chose to go full time,
quitting his well-paid job as an engineer to become a pastor.

since then he has been our very own, long-awaited Youth Pastor in CBC!

great character, good heart, kind and generous.
nice house, has a great supportive spouse,
unfaltering faith and knowledge of God.

i believe as he grows with experience, he’ll be able to do a lot more
this year, especially with us youths.

i sincerely hope that G.I.G. will not be a waste of anyone’s time,
but become a fruitful, faithful, strong generation for the gospel.

on a random note,
Mr. Hot Electric Guitarist here passed his driving test today!
winning the bet against Mark Chang(whom have already lost on countless occasions).

congratulations, have a great first year of college.
hope to see that you grow even stronger in character and faith.

300+ days to STPM, here we go!

p/s: thinking of moving my postcards page here to my wordpress, what do you think?
