Making a Decision to be Joyful.. At least I trying..
Hmm.. Recently.. I feel a sense of negative energy around me..
NO!!!
It's not me.. It's the people around me.. Surprising.. But true..
Recently, everywhere I go I heard people talking about unhappy stuff and blogging about stuff that really frustrates them.. I can't help but think.. Hey.. Since the incident had already made you so frustrated, why meditate on it by bringing it back up by talking or blogging about it right?
Isn't it kind of stupid.. Giving yourselves a way to remind you of something that really pisses you off? You get stressed by it, and in time, you get white hair and grow either too skinny or too fat..
If I were them, I'd talk or blog about something happy, rather then giving myself a way to remind myself of the crappy things.. At least I'm trying my best to do that now..
I told this to some people, and their responses to me is that I'm running away from the problem.. Well, you can put it that way.. But isn't it way better to lead a happy and joyful life and take up the problems in stride.. Making oneself miserable over something that has gone and past isn't going to make it better anyway.. I had to learn that myself too..
So.. Relax.. The world would be a better place if we could all be like this little feller..

A Interesting Little "Bin"..
Along the way to Astons, we passed by this rubbish bin outside TCC which really caught my attention..
I mean.. Look at it.. A shiny little "bin" thats so shiny it almost look holy-looking.. To add on to the effects, it was all alone in the middle of nowhere and a beam of light is just beating down at it..
Something very small, but something that really amused us..

The Difference between Being Child-Like and Being Childish..
Yo..! I'm back..!
Recently, I being quite preoccupied with a lot many different things, ranging from stressing over my business finance coursework grades(by God's grace I at least got a D rather than a F), to some issues I have with certain things that I doing..
But.. This post is gonna be about happy things.. I'm not going to sob here.. Haha..
I want to talk about this incident that I encountered on Wednesday whiles going to care group.. It goes like this.. As I was walking to the bus-stop to take 27 to Tampines, I came across this little boy no more than 6 years old.. This little boy, a Christian little boy(I identified him by the cross he was wearing on his neck), ran towards me and grabbed me by the hand..
At first, I was stunned.. Who wouldn't be right? Then I was thinking.. What I do sia? Jia Lat, what happen to this little boy?
Then the boy opened his mouth and said "Hello", smile smile at me and ran off. I was like what the.. Then suddenly, the "what the.." feeling was being overwhelmed by a warm and fuzzy feeling of "OMG.. So Sweet!!!"
I kept thinking about what the little boy's action, and thought, woah, the world is actually still quite a nice place to live in sometimes lehzz.. All the way I was like smiling to myself, all the way till I got sprayed by the sprinkler when I was walking through the gate by the bus-stop.. The water was freezing cold lor.. And got a hint of fertilizer smell to it..
Anyways.. I think that the little "Hello" by that little boy would be what we call a child-like faith ba.. A child-like faith that believe that you can make someone's day by just saying a simple "Hello" and smiling a bit.. You know.. Sometimes I feel that we more often than not try too hard to please people, or God for that matter.. We come out with COMPLEX IDEAS and BIG PLANS to try and achieve the BEST RESULTS.. But we often forget this.. That it is the SMALL THINGS THAT MEANS THE MOST..
I have this simple analogy for you!
"Small things moves farther, Big slows you down and don't allow you to move really far"
Simple and yet meaning.. Think about it yar?
However, childishness sets in when we allow this child-likeness to take over too much of us.. So much so till the extend where we act like a little kids and fool around all the time without thinking about the consequences.. It may be a hell lot of fun to fool around like a kid, but more often than not, it affects the people around you, and you get "SCOLDED" by some people above you.. That isn't very nice.. I say this cause I guilty of it sometimes too.. Sometimes, the mouth and body shoots much faster than the brain can react.. So got to practice hard to control this yar.. People.. Be very careful yar? Watch yourselves.. (Yes.. In this case we use "yourselves" rather than "yourself" as it is used to describe many people)

Preach It Brother!!!
The Word Of God
To some, it may be a sensitive topic to talk about, to others, you hear them talking about it all day..
For me, I seem to be talking a lot more about it this days..
For example, this morning when I saw Samantha in school.. I went over and sat down beside her..
As I started talking, and the conversation went along.. Suddenly, she ask me am I going to preach again?
I did not had that intention.. So I was wondering what made her say that..
Apparently to her, I've being talking about a lot of what God want us to do this and that..
I believe it could help people, but I'm afraid I will scare people away from talking to me too..
What should I do? Hmm.. I guess since I did not harm anyone, so its no harm then..

A New Habit?
During one of the recent QT I've done, I think God really spoke to me with this idea..
It is said that if God is for us, who could be against us.. We all know that..
But I really feel that God is trying to tell me this, if in everything I do, I were to do my best and leave the rest up to Him, he will be on my side, he will have my back, and he will watch over me.
So with this conviction right, now I find myself praying to Him before doing anything that mean something.. Be it a actual prayer, or just a quiet prayer in the heart.. Don't know how to describe that feeling lehzz.. Just feels shiok when you just let go and let God take over.. Well, maybe shiok isn't the best word to describe it, but I'm at a lost for words..
