Brand new day

By -
Finally, a brand new day starts. What will happen now, with so many exciting things waiting for me to do??? I know deep down in the core of my life, something will not change. The only thing that will change is the way I operate my life.

I was planning my timetable in the morning, discussed with XY and Ken about our timetable and what subjects we wanna take together. It seems that I'm going to meet up with Ken most of the time, since we are taking 4 modules together. But I do feel that my timetable is fairly good, considering I managed to free up my Wednesday and Friday. I think I'll stick with it for the time being, unless something crop up during my bidding. Wanted to cheat a bit and take LAJ1201, a japanese lang module but then it's a choice between doing an UE and doing a GEM, which this case is GEK1505, living with mathematics. I'm still thinking what breadth modules to take... maybe math modules, since I'm fairly good in math. Must start planning my route to the history major now, since I think time is not enough to finish exploring all the history modules, while I have to satisfy all my graduation requirements.

Even so, I know, deep down in my heart, it'll not just be a uni life. I'll have other committments and stuffs, planning for my future.... planning for my family... planning for the ones I loved. It'll be a tough route, but I hope that I'll make it. In fact, if other people could, why can't I? As long as I dun give up, I'll never fail. One of my guiding principle: Failure is when you give up, one of my favourite lines, learnt it from someone who actually gave up...quite ironic. But I must prove it to them that they are wrong to give up. Who are they to say they cannot make when they only sorta do it for a while. Is that right? Is it right to judge things based on what you think you know? Is it right to give up after a few rejections? If so, then I should have given up a long time ago. I think they never gave themselves a chance to understand things as problems come along.

Woot, I ought to start working on everything now. It's a brand new day, and everyday's a brand new start.

I just realise that I have been posting everyday since I changed my blog designs...lolx, but then I think I like my new layout a lot. The meaning of the layout also fits me: The shadow becomes darker as the light get nearers.... But people, dun be afraid of the light, cos it's in the law of nature that it's the darkest before dawn. The shadow will be gone once the you reach the light... so dun be afraid....

Parable of the 'Good Samaritan'

By -
Once there was this man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among thorns, and the thorns spring up and choked him. And as he went on, he didn’t have money, and he met the Queen of Sheba, and she gave him 1,000 talents of gold and 100 changes of raiment. And he got into a chariot and drove furiously, and when he was driving under a big juniper tree, his hair caught on a limb of that tree, and he hung there many days, and the ravens brought him food to eat and water to drink, and he ate 5,000 loaves of bread and two fishes. One night when he was hanging there asleep, his wife Delilah came along and cut off his hair, and he dropped, and fell on stony ground. But he got up and went on, and it began to rain, and it rained forty days and forty nights, and he hid himself in a cave, and he lived on locust and wild honey. Then he went on ‘til he met a servant who said, “Come, take supper at my house.” And he made an excuse and said, “No, I won’t. I have married a wife, and I c

Of Teaching and Learning

Over the past two weeks, I was invited to attend a block class on "Learning to Teach." After two weeks of class, here are some reflections that I have. We thank God Bro Casey is a pretty humane teacher... :P  Firstly, teaching needs to meet the changing challenges of the 21st century. This is especially pertinent with all the advancements in technology as well as the worldview changes with the generation today. There is simply no room for the teacher to remain stagnant and not be able to keep up with times so as to engage their students and to facilitate learning. Applying to theological education and Bible school, we have to consider what kind of ministers we are training for the churches in the 21st century. If we are training ministers who are able to engage today’s generation, then we need to review the current methods of teaching and train ministers to be savvy in social media and technology and be able to make use of them in their ministries.

Of Exegesis, Wedding Preparation and the Whole Lot of Things: Another Reflection

By -

To those who know what happened, the past months since the start of 2016 had been very stressful to me. In the preparation to my impending wedding this coming October, my future father-in-law decided to throw a few spanners into the wedding preparation by declaring that he was not comfortable with me as a life partner to his daughter because I am a full time Christian worker and more importantly because I come from a different family background from her.  The latter means that there are certain practices in my own family which are unthinkable in his worldview on how a family should function. This led to intense tensions between Angelina and myself. To compound the stress, NT Exegesis class was not that easy also and the stress of meeting the deadlines mean that I sometimes did not have the time to reflect deeper into the situations I was facing in my relationship.  However, studying the text of Philemon 15-20 reminded me of the way we should conduct our relationship in Christ
