(last minute) 2013 Kaleidoscope

21:58

2013 has been the most rock n roll year in my life. It all started when my mother diagnosed with cancer in January *BUMMER* My world was really falling apart -It's just something you least expected to hear from the doctor. My mom was doing both chemo and radiation to kill the cancer cell for months in Singapore. (And there, I visiting Singapore a lot). Everyday my sister & I accompanied my mom to do the radiation & once a week for the chemo. There, I observed & learned so many thing about life. And also how tough my mom was to fight for her life. And it was such a relieved that MY MOM IS CANCER-FREE by the august 2013 -no 2nd cycle of chemo needed *pheeew*. I witnessed myself that God is SOOOOO GREAT all the time, that we can't do anything to pay it back. 

But then my mom's cancer was not the only big thing happened in my life during 2013. There was this girl who "accidentally" checked on one of my social account and claimed that I offended her (and the whole family). From that day on, I  dealt with so many thing about her. Somehow she was soooo negative that I felt like i need to fight her back to prove my point. We did some kinda "twit war" a lot. Until then one day, I directly talked to her and made things clear. This might sounds such a no big deal for you, but I learned so many things from it.

I learned that it's not about how ppl disturb, mock, or whatever it is; it's about how we respond to those ppl. It's our attitude towards problems. You guys might have seen the quote about it many times, but trust me, it's not as easy as it sounds. However, I'm happy now that i can finally nailed it! I've won the battle with the negative stuff.

Beside all two probs i mentioned before, there were many things happened that really make me understand about many thing; that tested my patience and all that: being gossiped, getting for granted, fake friends, backstabber, struggle with Mandarin 😜. You might have read me been talking about problem, but somehow there is one BIG thing that i gained from these probs: BE PATIENT!

I've issue about patience -patient toward many things. I've been asking God so that i could me a bit more patient, but then that was all that i got: probs that really annoys me. Then i realized that that's the thing that I should experienced in order to become a more patient (and humble) person. Not just patient and humble, but at the top of all, to worship God for all that have done happening in my life especially 2013.


It's the last day of 2013, I've made myself some list of my 2014 resolution. I hope that in 2014, I could achieve more and more things in my life....not just for me, but to glorify my Almighty God: Jesus Christ!

A Little Note For Me

21:33

10 reminders worth remembering today:

1) Treat yourself the way you want others to treat you!
2) The biggest obstacles in your life are the barriers your mind creates.
3) Sometimes to get where you want to go, you have to do what you are afraid to do.
4) You must find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible.
5) You don’t have to see the whole staircase, you just have to take the first step.
6)  No matter how many times you revisit the past, there’s nothing new to see.
7) No matter how difficult things were yesterday, you are armed with the ability and choice to do better today.
8) Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.
9) You can only be yourself, and other people can only be themselves.
and 10.) Sometimes it’s okay if the only thing you’re doing is breathing.

Don't Let Hatred Ruin Your Kindness

23:38


“People are often reasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you’re kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motive. Be kind anyway.
If you’re honest, people may cheat on you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it’s between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway”
—Mother Teresa

TAKE TIME TO READ. It's worth reading it. Trust me :)


Professor: You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

*Student was silent*

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

*Student did not answer*

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

*Student had no answer*

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

*The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events*

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

*There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater*

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

*The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going*
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

*The class was in uproar*
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

*The class broke out into laughter*
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

*The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.*

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.



P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?

Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.

By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.
