The reflecting theologian

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6220523.stm This piece of news article reminds me of a miracle God has done in Sarah's womb. If you are not sure what happened, feel free to go and read Genesis and find out what happened. Anyway, age seems not a factor to this woman...

Now for New Year resolutions, here they are: 1) To become a better person, physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually 2) To obtain an average cap of 4.2 - 4.5 3) To expand YP Bukit Panjang Branch and be more involved in YP 4) To expand the YRC, or at least let it grow 5) To make more new friends 6) To be able to help my friends in times they need my help 7) To lose weight 8) To complete half marathon All in all, one sentence to sum up all: I want 2006 to be a more happening year than 2005. Oh, let me list down the things which I dun want myself to be caught doing in 2006: 1) Drinking myself dead drunk and committing a two-piece mistake 2) Slacking and ending up knowing nothing about lecture 3) Got obsessively involved in BGR, though if it comes, I can't help 4) Spend 300 points for a module which cost 1 point for others. I made some reslolutions in the beginning of the year. Now, let's see how much I have achieved. For number 1, I have certainly become a better per...

When a promise is made, it will not be broken.... I went to watch Charlotte's Web yesterday together with the CG. To make the long story short, it's about the struggle of this pig who had made friends in a barn to avoid his slaughter in the smokehouse for Christmas. In the process, he received help from this spider called Charlotte, who promised that she will not allow Wilbur the pig to end up in the dining table. How she exactly did it, I will leave it to you to find out. But it was touching in the end. The ending really reminds me of a friend who will never break his promise, whatever promises that he made. It was very touching. Perhaps the dramatic impact can only be felt when you watch it. Witness the friendship between an unlikely pig and unlikely spider - a friendship which eventually changed the way the people around them live. It's movie that really touched my heart a lot and I'm sure it will touch your heart too. Every Time - by Hillsongs United Jesus, I love Y...

I was checking my grades for the last exam. It was a heart-nerving experience. But anyway, here's what I saw in the sms by NUS: HY2217 B HY2243 A- HY2246 A- MNO1001 A- TR2202 A CAP: 4.23 Quite a surprise. HY2217 was the module which I know has the least chance of getting an A, cos of my project, but it will still remain my fav mod of the sem. TR2202 was a surprise, cos I expected a B+ the most, given my relative quietness in the forum... or maybe if I have been more active, it would have been an A+. The rest was sort of a bonus. I didn't expect an A- for HY2246 too, though HY2243 was quite expected and hoped for. MNO1001 was a difficult one to gauge, cos I didn't really know how I do as compared to the rest. The final paper was a bit of a disaster to me, cos I had a stomachache and I can't concentrate on the paper properly. The score for this sem is 4.4, a 0.1 improvement from last sem, only a difference between a B and B-. Quite sianz could have made it to the Dean...

After everything, maybe it's time to be a bit more sensitive and post something more encouraging: Read this

Well, some of the posts for the past few days had been politically incorrect, or maybe even sounded extreme. And probably, some of you have read it and might get offended by it. Firstly, I have to confess that it is normally not myself to post such politically incorrect comments. Secondly, I would like to say sorry if you are offended. Perhaps even these posts may turn you off from God. It may seem that I am not a good testimony to God. Perhaps so. How can I say that I'm a good testimony to God? Perhaps after a year, I realise that I am still unable to share my joy effectively with the people I want to share that joy with, how can it be a good testimony? For one year plus, my growth can only be observed by myself, God and the brothers and sisters closest to me and not other people, how can that be a good testimony? For one year, people are still avoiding me, and I am still unable to communicate effectively, how can this be a good testimony? Maybe I should repent about it. Actually,...

Today is Christmas Day. It's a day of giving and receiving. But it's the day people find joy more in giving. And of course, Christmas Day is such an appropriate day for giving gift, because it commemorates the coming of a gift larger than life. To start the real Christmas story, I'll go back in time, to about... the beginning. In the beginning, God created everything that we see around us, in 5 days, and He created Man on the 6th day, ie Adam and Eve. And it was all very good. Then sin came in and separated Man away from God. (For more details, please read Genesis 1 - 3) As a result of sin, Man was banished from the Garden of Eden. However, God wanted always to have a personal relationship with man, because man was created precisely to have a personal relationship with God. Because of sin, man can't have a personal relationship with God anymore... until one day... A few millennium after the fall of man, in a little town called Nazareth, there was this virgin girl called...
