New Start Each Day: November 2007

不是坏事

爸爸今天问我：
“你知道为什么地球是圆的吗？”

我：
“为什么？”
“这样才能有四季？”
“不然人没有勇气发展到另一面？”
“好看？”

*他不停摇头*
然后不理不睬，不当一回事的样子回答：
“因为他不希望人看太远。”
“所以，看不到前面，看不到地球的另一方也不是件坏事。”

我：
“无聊咯。”
*走去房间*

这样的安慰，激励，问候，建议。。。
往往就是我做选择的原则。

Take each day, one at a time...

Char's post set me thinking... About the encouragement, motivation and drive dreams bring to us. Well, my dreams change ALL THE TIME:
4-6yrs old=Teacher.
7-10yrs=Principal/Music teacher.
11-16=Psychologist/Designer/Kindergarten teacher.
17-19=Social worker/ Counselor/ Church worker.
And to date, I have no concrete dream. Ya, ya, ya... Can't you see from the increasing options that I'm growing more helpless and confuse about my future?

BUT! Not having an occupational dream doesn't mean no dream, k! I still have my ideal future, infact, I thought about it everytime! When I'm daydreaming, when I see a cleaner, a high caliber worker, a sales person, when I'm walking, when I'm preparing to sleep. I have my secret name-list, my undisclosed ways to spice up living, my values and concepts about life. So you can't say I don't plan for my future. Just that I can't conclude and cannot warrant the exact place I'll land up.

However, recently I've realised something. Something regarding life's dreams. Something about what will last and what wouldn't. Something about what is worth to hold on to. Sadly, our dreams don't last. You'll be surprise that they don't bring out the lasting satisfaction in us. After we achieved our so-call DREAMS, we will eventually grow tired and understand it's actually nothing worth a mention. Come to think of it, unless we fulfill our reason of our existence, we'll never feel the REAL satisfaction to life.

I've got many motivations, ideal future and wishes to push me continuously living life to its fullest and doing the right thing. But as expected, none of them last. Their zest will finally die. Not until I found the Energizer- Never Say Die- Evangelism. Spreading the Good News is the quench to thirsty throats, the light to darkness, the bread to hunger. It's the key to fulfilling life. To hope. To dreams. To wishes. To the satisfying future anyone will never grow tired of!

If you think YOUR LIFE is about YOU, then you're all wrong. It's about your Creator. It's about His plans, His will. It's about His hope, His wish, His desire that we're living for. This made Him look selfish, but this whole matter is so. What's His, is His. What's ours, is His too.

So.

What worth are our dreams actually?

Depends on how much you involve Him.

中国 - 5。为大自然

The place where Simba was held...

看！大山与人的比例。。。人好渺小哟！

安然知足

Guess what? Heh heh heh... I threw away my polka dot pants. It was still in good condition, so now kind of regret the impulse. But isn't that better?! I can see WJ smiling ear to ear.(I won't be wrong) WJ! Please take care ar! And don't spread the germs to us...

How are you Mel and ZL? I hope the weather is friendly and the trip is safe. Man, when will you all be back? Btw, today we had lots of fun practicing our dance in the room with some ELDERS... But without you both it's still different. Because the youths left zx earliest la... So, YOU MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF DIFFERENCE. 快快回来吧。就算很不想回来，就算非常舍不得，但是还是快回来。。。

Today's lesson:
想念一个人真的好可怕。
若是说到真正的想念，就算在眼前还会想念。
就是想把每一秒记录下吧。

Well, today's joy:
两位中国朋友信主了！
虽然打从心理合不蓉嘴的祝贺他们，但不忘记。。。
人生的考验现在才开始呢。

蔡妈妈居然想念倩男。。。

Wondered Why??

Why are we so weak?
So easily tempted.
So fast to fall.

Why do we break the promises made to You?
So unfaithful.
So forgetful.

Why do we always walk the wrong way?
So distracted.
So helpless.

Why do we replay it in our minds?
Why are we so easily hurt?
Why can't we let it go?
Why do we regret?

But who cares?
MOVE ON...

Looking forward to New Start Each Day!

破茧而出

现在世界人口增加比历史中任何一个时代为快。
倘若教会依然没有完整的方法去装备信徒，教会人口将不停减少。
她不会自然和世界一样人口加增。

中国 - 4。茶道

以上的都是茶叶，除了这杯。这是“红菇”。
（听说非常有营养价值！）

男生正确握茶杯的方式。

女生正确握茶杯的方式。

哦。。。这位是男生吗？

其中最大的收获也是学会了皮毛的品茶。
铁观音就分成：铁观音王、高级铁观音、浓香的、清香的。。。
红茶是全发肖、绿茶是没法肖、乌龙茶是伴发肖。
肉桂茶能减肥。
北京奥运会的金牌冠军的礼物-武夷山一代大红袍。（全世界只剩下六棵大红袍茶树。每年收获不到200克。）
春夏秋冬 - 春茶水好，秋茶香好。
春茶比秋茶高级因为是雨前茶，没碰到雨季茶叶就更好。
还有好多好多的学问。。。

最后，猜个谜。（12/11/07之前猜到有奖！）

傻子只见一个月亮。
普通人见两个。
聪明人见三个。
幸福的人见六个。
请解释。

中国之旅 - 3。积极窝心字条

You can say all these are just to promote Beijing 2008 Olympic Games... But you can't deny that we don't see these signs in Singapore. From a certain point of view, aren't they more civilized? I'm not brain-washed by our govt, are you?

中国，棒！
