if this is a place you only go to when others are also going then its not your calling.
if this is a thing you only do when others also do so you feel pressured to do it its not your calling.
if this is a deep conviction of your own where people tried to dissuade you but it didnt change your mind.......then IT IS your calling...
On to talking about food.....the latest each-a-cup blend aint as nice as the original one eh? i don't know what they added to it. lol.....:( i have been trying also "agantea" (which is pronounced as ah-gan-tea) and some strange brand near my area. but they have rose pearls and the quality is pretty good.
the only reason i'm writing so much is cos today was uneventful compared to sunday! i was thinking of the idea of "no plans" at all (as if that will work in life). having dinner w karlo and shan again...karlo was talking about how spontaneous is always much better than planned things. i think humans often plans so much there is not much room left for God or others to shape our course in life.....
i think that sunday evening was a little crazy.....running around that place like a kid. i felt totally small. and this was among man-made equipment. then it got me remembering again how much bigger the natural things were. the mountains in taiwan were huge and in huge stretches. was it mountain chains i learnt in geography years ago? yea and when you're driving up a mountain, it feels like that mountain is already so huge. you cant even think of walking to the next mountain. (well u can but it would take a long time). so what more about the greatness of the Being who made all these.

the rest i need for the week
Oh well...at least people still are reading....my blog. but sometimes you just think, if they wanted to read they should also come and talk to you directly, that would be so nice too.
Now i totally understand george clooney's stance in life.
It is so troublesome and annoying and roller coaster and and and...seriously? don't i have better things to do than to worry about someone like 80% of the time. i really don't want that in my life. if you don't believe me watch "the descendants" movie.
Ok on to my argument. there are both sides. if you expect the worst, sometimes you could be happier. if you expect the worst, it also could happen...so....it keeps you prepared? i had a nightmare on wed night but it was spiritual. and i feel i need to pray for this particular person but not in a bad way. my prayers are always for good trust me. but also no ulterior motives. after what happened this whole week? oh man.....what a roller coaster ride...so no way.

things in life
I have two schools of thought that constantly make me wonder.
First is, to have absolute or high confidence in almost everything i choose to do and set my mind to. Because if there's no belief and confidence in my own mind and heart, how can it come to fruition?
The next is this: to have absolutely low/no confidence in everything so that when something good happens you will be happier.
Which would you choose??
I would rather take the first stance than the second because
1) the bible is FULL of hope in words from God/promises
2) man and mankind cannot live without hope
3) why make yourself miserable when one door closed means other greater opportunities? its up to you to see it.

spiritual food. yum
I like my work...lolz.
Finally eh.
Yea both part time and full time ones.
So this is good.
But the problem? Dealing with people changing their moods.
But i love God's word even better.
“[Testing of Your Faith] Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.” James 1:2-3 ESV
21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Romans 1:21
Judges 6:10
And I said to you, ‘I am the LORD your God; you shall not fear the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell.’ But you have not obeyed my voice.”
Genesis 22:12
He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”
Ecclesiastes 3:14
I perceived that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people fear before him.
Hebrews 10:31
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Revelation 19:5
And from the throne came a voice saying, “Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, small and great.”

the game again
I cannot stand guys who want to pursue a girl but are rude when they are chasing her.....so what does he want? ;?
"do you not like this kind of guys because they are not attracted to you?"
"No. its because i don't even like them so i don't even bother if they like me or not."
As for life, other aspects....
I really am checking my motives on things in life.

out of comfort zone! yay!
Out of my distress I called on the LORD; the LORD answered me and set me free. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” Psalm 118:5-6 ESV
It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
Theodore Roosevelt
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Isa 41:10
“for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:26-28 ESV
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—
twenty years from now, I'll regret what i didnt do rather than what i did. - Mark twain
George Verwer's first contact with Christianity was through his neighbor, Dorothea Clapp, who gave him the Gospel of John and also put him on her "Holy Ghost hit list". Amazing! If everyone had a Holy Ghost hit list....many more would be impacted with the truth or love of Christ...

love the unexpected
The place of Breakthroughs AND unexpected ONES.
The Lord seemed to be telling me over and over again through various situations and "feelings" i got not just this journey but throughout the year
"Look I see you differently from how you see yourself.
SEE and EXPERIENCE what I AM doing in YOUR LIFE ESPECIALLY this year.
Am I human? Or am I GOD?"

sabbath
Like Jesus did....we're "supposed" to rest on sundays but whoa.....was mine packed and tiring.
met three groups of people today. one christian group (another group of church friends from IBC...) and some new and old friends at vivo and lastly....evening service at orchard road....what a nice formal way to end the day with hymns and nice architecture.
I was surprised when i was greeted with a friendly greeting (duh) at the evening service. heh....and prob made friends w 2 gal pals over the weekend friendly enough to be travel kaki (probably to rome...lol)
