God of Creation
''For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse. " - Romans 1:20
God has placed irrefutable proof of His existence in Creation. All of Creation proclaims the existence of God. The Bible says that heaven and earth praise the Lord. Wherever our eye wanders—from majestic mountain peaks to tranquil forests, from glittering lakes to the peaceful lulling of the ocean—we intuitively know that someone created all this. From the star-studded macro cosmos, with its billions of stars and nebula, to the unseen chemical reactions in our nervous system, we see the hand of our Creator, everywhere.
The order of nature is so intricately thought-out that a double somersault of denial is required to explain away a Master’s hand, a divine artist’s genius, a loving Creator’s originality. Yet the Bible says all of creation is subjected to futility as a result of the Fall. Animals eat other animals. People die of starvation. Hurricanes rage, rains refuse to fall, deserts expand and groundwater is destroyed. All of Creation sighs and groans under its enslavement.
Corruption reigns. But Creation longs for its freedom. What freedom? The day when God’s children will be free, restored and set free from everything that binds them. Once man, the crown of Creation, receives a share of the fullness of salvation, the rest of Creation will follow and receive its freedom, as well. Even now, in the midst of corruption, Creation shines beautifully, speaks impressively and assures every person that, “God exists for you, and He is good to you.”

Swollen Face!
I woke up on Tues morn to find the left side of my face swollen, no thanks to the infection that I got. The first thing that doc said when he saw me was, "What happened to you again?". LOL. He was the same doc I saw for my eye infection earlier this month. Well, my experience tells me that he is liberal with giving many days of MC and he likes to pre-warn (is there such a word?) you about the possibility of having to go through operation! The last time he really scared me by saying that I might have to go for operation for my eye infection when I thought it was simply a minor prob. In the end I was fine lah. (Aiyo, tupid doc scare me only, haha)
This time, he gave me 4 days of MC (not like I really need it since I dun have classes, but I just take lah). I couldn't really eat properly the the last 2 days cos my wound would hurt when I open my mouth slightly wider. Thank God it's less painful now and I could eat properly today! =) And thanks so much dear friends for your concern and for praying for me. I am loved. =)
Pls continue to keep me in your prayers cos my face is still swollen and the antibiotics that doc gave me is a killer. It gives me gastric pain and heart burns but I have to take it.
Daddy, no matter what happens, I still know that You are good. Whatever can be shaken, will be shaken. You are still the best to me. Other people may hurt me from time to time, but You? You will never ever hurt me. I love You. =)

Focus
FOCUS
' A compass is narrow minded - it always points north.' - Billy Graham
If the compass deviated, a thousand mishaps would occur in the air, at sea and on land.
People everywhere are depending upon that undeviating compass to give clear direction.
What we focus on is what we get.
If you're on the plane to Hong Kong, that's where you'll arrive, even if you really want to go to London.
If your highest desire is for your organisation to grow but you focus on writing books, speaking at conferences, recording albums etcetera (I finally know how this word is spelled in full! =) It means so on and so forth. Etc. in short. ;) ) that's your true direction.
The things that we mentally, emotionally and spiritually focus on will determine where we will arrive.
Stepping out with you,
Phil Pringle

Pet Peeves
Hello, if you are my friend and you treasure me and our friendship, kindly take note of these pet peeves that will affect how I view you and our friendship. If you dun already know, 'a pet peeve (or pet hate) is a minor annoyance that can instill great frustration in an individual (Wikipedia) .'
Everybody has their pet peeves, I'm telling you mine. It's not cos I'm angry or still angry with you for it, I just want to inform you so that you would understand and hopefully not allow such things to happen again.
Pet Peeve #1: Not reply my sms (of course those that requires a response from you).
If I ever send an sms or share my prob with you or tell you that I'm sad or something relatively important and you don't reply? Oh my gosh, I will be even more sad I tell you. It doesn't matter if you are too busy to reply (which is really a stupid excuse, c'mon lah, how long does it take for you to send u an sms? 3 mins the most!) or that you have to reply late as long as you DO reply. NOT REPLYING IS EQUIVALENT TO IGNORING ME AND WHAT KIND OF REAL FRIENDS DO THAT? And if you dun reply becos u want to save 5 cents? I say keep your money and dun ever sms me again. Is not our friendship worth more than 5 cents? Am I not worth your 5 cents?
Pet Peeve #2: SAY I'll CALL YOU BACK AND THEN NOT CALL BACK!!!!
Zah............ At least 3 persons have done this to me. When you said, "I'll call you back", you meant it right!!??? If you didn't, can you not say it!? Pls for goodness sake becos I will take you for your word when you say that. I know some people say it out of habit... very subconsciously... but I hope you will change this habit becos when you say "I'll call you back", I'm taking it that you WILL call me back. If you dun actually have any intention of calling me back, just dun say it!!! I quote from Phil Pringle, " Our credibility rests on our words coming to pass. Those we lead trust us in large measure on the basis of what we said will happen actually happening."
Pet Peeve # 3: Hurl vulgarities at me. [This shouldn't even be classified as a pet peeve to begin with becos it is not just a minor annoyance, it is blatant inconsideration, an outright weapon.]
Pls dun ever "f**k" or "what the hell!!" me even when you are angry with me. IT IS GOING TO HURT. Being angry doesn't give you the right to hurl vulgarities at me. If some random acquaintance hurls those words at me, it wouldn't really matter becos they dun mean anything to me but if I treasure you and you use those words at me?? Man, it is really going to hurt.
"Right words heal, but cutting words wound people deeply . . . Even though we may think that "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me, " this is not so. Hurtful words leave deep wounds in the soul . . . Successful people understand the power of the tongue and use it to heal and build, not to wound and destroy. (Phil Pringle) " Enufff said already!
It's the little things in life that makes a big difference. How you treat me tells me a lot about how much I actually matter to you. I hope you know that.
And if I ever do the above pet peeves to you when you are my friend???I give you permission to come slap me, seriously, becos I can't imagine myself doing that to you.
And if you are reading this and you have committed the above "crimes" , I forgive you and I still love you ok? Just dun do it again pls. *Hugs*

Brandtson - Escapist lyrics
And this one is certainly
An interesting story.
It starts with an ending
And we're both characters in play.
On the same stage
But on a different page
You'll go on to become
The queen of some kingdom.
And I'll be that monster of myth
Off in some forest, mire or filth.
This time around
I'll meet you halfway
And I won't spend my life
Lying awake at night.
And they'll say
I'm the emerald
Missing from your crown.
The greatest escapist
The world has ever known.
Now it's so clear to me.
We should have seen this coming
Back at the beginning.
We both chose to take this road
To the same place
But at a different pace.
This time around
I'll meet you halfway
And I won't spend my life
Lying awake at night
And I'll say I'm the fabled
One that let you down.
The greatest escapist
The world has ever known.
And this one is certainly
An interesting story.
It starts with an ending
And we're both characters in play.
On the same stage
But on a different page
You'll go on to become
The queen of some kingdom.
And I'll be that monster of myth
Off in some forest, mire or filth.
This time around
I'll meet you halfway
And I won't spend my life
Lying awake at night.
And they'll say
I'm the emerald
Missing from your crown.
The greatest escapist
The world has ever known.
Now it's so clear to me.
We should have seen this coming
Back at the beginning.
We both chose to take this road
To the same place
But at a different pace.
This time around
I'll meet you halfway
And I won't spend my life
Lying awake at night
And I'll say I'm the fabled
One that let you down.
The greatest escapist
The world has ever known.
