Woah, this year's thanksgiving dinner so deep wohh! Naise! :D
The following are my thoughts about the issues mentioned today.

Hallelujah! Appreciate the little wonders around you..
then you can truly sing praise. You'd be emitting an aura that can touch and change the hearts of people.
But, face reality..
with crushed dreams, broken hearts, lost souls, poverty, confusion..
can you praise the Lord when everything just collapses in front of you?

"What is the key?" he questioned.

One replied: "Believe that it is part of his plan!"
"Count your blessings" said another.
"Live through the holy spirit"

He was still waiting for the right answer.
However, after realizing that further prompts were fruitless,
he left us to search the key ourselves.
Bleah. D: and so.. I thought hard..
searched deep down my heart for the reason why I praise him.

The reason why I praise him is because
I know that I've experienced him.
Whether big or small, good or bad events that happened in life,
praise god because you're experiencing his presence.
You cannot literally, concretely see, hear, touch, smell or taste God.
However, in any event in your life he is interacting with you.
God is omnipresent.
All these experiences are little coins that you add into your faith piggy bank.
Thank him! for he has given you more pocket money! :D

You really ought to tear your clothes, dust your head, kneel and weep if God has forsaken you.
I'm not sure if I'm correct or not, shall ask Pastor James. :D

We DO NOT need to speak in tongues, heal or whtsoever, all we need is a heart full of spirit and praise. He concluded.
(pardon me if i quoted wrongly, this is based on memory ><" but the idea is there la..)


Like everyone else, I hold a firm stand that having a non Christian partner was alright; until today.
"I'm sure I can convert my spouse to be a true Christian!!"
"hmm..? Think again."
I can't really find something concrete in the bible that opposes the marriage of a Christian and Non-christian. But i found this:
2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
Since Marriage is a sacred covenant that joins two people together in one flesh, being married to an unbeliever can be one of the most difficult challenges in a Christian's life. Can these two people with different beliefs harmonize and go through all trails and temptations that come their way?
One out of ten loh. :P



Anyway, It really gets on your nerve when someone jokes about something you hold so dear.

My dear Beloved bp,

This is my first letter to you. Sadly, it's also the last. I've already lost count how long we've been together. WHY? Why did you leave without saying goodbye. No matter where you are, I'm sure u can hear my screams of sorrow.

You kept my memories, without you I couldn't dream anymore. I lay in bed at night, staring blankly into space.

You have no idea how much I missed you! My arms missed holding you. My eyes missed your smile. I missed your smell. Missed snuggling close to you under the blanket in a cold rainy day.
Missed your company when we watched movies at home. Missed telling you those silly dé·jà vu that you claimed to foresee. Missed your comforting arms around me when I cry. Missed the soft spot on toe I love to take advantage of. Missed sliding my arms under ur back in the middle of the night. I missed you.

In one's moment of grief, sometimes it is difficult to come up with appropriate words to say.
There will always be a place in my heart that you'll be fondly, fondly remembered. But now it's time for me to seek my own future.

With all my love,
Kenneth T

What are memories?
Biogically explained: Scientists have found that memories involve many regions of the brain that work together. First, information is acquired from our senses and these information is processed and finally it is "stored" as a memory.Long story short, memories are the stimulation of information stored in the connections between neurons.

That's why first impression counts I guess?
Once you are associated with something, you'd be bounded and clumped to that particular neuron connection.
For example, if I see someone dig his nose -> memory pathway established -> links eww disgusting fella!
But changing this first impression is not impossible. and might not be as difficult as everyone think it is.
hmm..
What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word 'RED'?
I thought of blue.. (I think red in my brain is registered under the colour-neuron, since I was first exposed to this word when I was taught colours by mumzie..)
Then.. what's the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word "BALLS"?
Such an innocent word.. yet you think of..

Certain things does trigger certain memories.
Recently, I've been chancing upon many 11:11s.
Someone once told me that when you unexpectedly see 11:11,
it means someone is missing you.
But when i do see them, I do not wonder who could be missing me.
Instead, it makes me think about that person.
What's she doing now? *listing out possiblilties* ...
(O.O!)
Could she be missing me too?

Hey! don't 想歪歪 ah!!

Memories are one of the many wonderful gifts God has given to us. *Praise!*
