I am still unable to let go of the fact that my wallet got stolen. Such an annoying thing to happen! I think if I am not a christian, I will bear even more grudges. Haha. I need to learn to forgive and let go and quit thinking about the fact that whoever stole it is spending my hard earned money, depriving me of student meals and depriving me of discounts from Singpost! I hope that when she sees the HOGC privilege card, she will come to HOGC, repent and be saved. I genuinely hope for that. That's the only good thing that can come out of it. Oh well, I must be careful next time. As much as I hope to trust people, there are really despo people around who will kidnap my not so pretty and tattered wallet. Haiya.
And i really really hate last minute things. It takes me some time to adjust to things and its hard to have to change my mentality and prepare for something last minute. Haiya. This is one thing I gotta improve on.
Just had B ZONE CHALET! It was really awesome man! Although i barely slept and is still hanging on before I KO sometime soon. But the food was great, the people are so fun to be with, and the worship was superb! Even in the midst of fun, there must be God. And I enjoyed the cycling along pasir ris park at like 12 plus am. haha. its a rare thing to do for me. So, it was a good week (except for the fact that my wallet has met with such misfortune).
Tml is Pst Sy Rogers! Going to be really awesome! Can't wait to hear about issues of sexual brokeness!

I went to watch Slumdog Millionaire todayyy!!!! Yea, the Oscar winning one. I think its the media la. haha. Without the Oscars and the newspapers, I wont even know that there's such a show. Heh.
The movie was not bad, the casts were good..(can I mention that Dev is really good-looking!), the plot was quite simple, but its weird since like the who wants to be a millionaire show like kind of not so popular anymore. I think if this movie was made during that time when the variety show was a craze, the effect would be so much better? But its cool that thru such a simple plot, they can reveal so much about India and its culture. I am just very into culture. Whenever there's a chance to know more about culture (esp thru shows and movies), I'm in for it man! haha. I always imagine myself in some faraway place learning and understanding the cultures of that place. Its really amazing. Of course, cultures are different from my convictions. =)
The movie that I really really wanna watch now is 'The curious case of Benjamin Button'. I would really like to applaud the media for actually arousing my curiosity and desires in watching this movie (no pun intended). Haha. Or is it just my very easily swayed nature with respect to entertainment? Heh
-Heard that the results are coming out this fri- Im still smiling. =)

I am trying to kind of change my blogskin but as usual, Im just a html idiot. heh.
These few days really changed my life. I am starting to think more and am pondering about what is the thing that really gives me purpose, where is my heart at in the kingdom of God, in this world? Affluence to Influence. I am convicted of that. Riches are tools to reach out, to love, to boost the lives of others. But no matter what pple may say (naysayers) haha, no matter what my parents try to push into my head about the importance of money, I do not ever want to find myself one day living for money instead of using money for a living. True, money's important and I do want to be rich but I do not want to hoard all of it for myself but to give to others.
When I saw videos of how the children, orphans in villages stricken with poverty do have dreams, I am impacted and so touched. Because they are just like anyone of us, filled with dreams and visions and desires for the future, just that their poor cirumstances are obstacles to their acheiving their potential. I want to remove some of these obstacles, to relieve oppression, to extend just a little love. To give what I can give. That, to me, is a life of purpose, a life of significance. (Not any routine, mundane recep job or even meeting targets in careers) There may be satisfaction in my acheivements, but it'll be definitely different from helping others acheive their dreams. God spoke to me before about this, and I kind of know where my passion, where my heart is.
I am gonna use these few months before I go to uni(by faith i proclaim that NUS is mine!) to create days of significance and to create significance in others.
Christianity is radical but its always the radical that do acheive anything substantial in the world. =)
