what's the most loving attitude towards one another?

Even though, you may feel disregarded by someone, should you do likewise? Well, the answer is NO of course but human tendency is to react similarly to the treatment you get. I felt this way recently or maybe it's the sensitivity that got in the way. Anyway, the immediate tot within is to disregard that person as well. It's a self defensive mode and also to address injustice. As i was thinking abt it today, i realised that is totally unchristian. What was i thinking?

BUT it's tough man. Somehow it will affect how you see and treat the person. Loving is something everyone keeps struggling with. Not everyone is adorable and not everyone has the same level of humor or frequency. That's when you are put to test.

Need to really stay focus on Jesus to get the right perspective of how to treat people lovingly.

The start of the camping season

Camping season officially starts tomorrow. 2 camps almost back to back. I even have to plan what clothes to wear. The excitement of camps are not as strong before, unlike the first time in which i can get to know more people. Now it's more of, ok it's camping time. Perhaps this comes with age. Or maybe not... *shrugs*

This time round, both camps are covering OT books. Good! I'm looking forward to that. Has been doing NT books most of the time. So, this would expose a lot of us as to how read the OT books. :)

Talking about excitement level, the degree has gone down pretty much this time round. Be it camps, going out, planning for the hols or other stuff. Perhaps it's just one of the times in which it's just do it lor mode. Or it's probably of the fatigue within. Whatever it is, i'm hopeful that this will go away soon.

ok, joshua and zechariah, here i come to dissect you.

Expectations vs. Disappointments

Blogging is addictive, for now i guess, since it's still something new to me. Perhaps it's really a form of medium to air my views with no one reading and knowing it for now.
Life is always full of ups and downs. The emotions are running faster than i tot it could. This reminds me of my NPD class in which the prof taught us about emotions and even drew out the curve, showing it going up and down. These movements can be tiring. Very tiring.

Was very excited about the show and the meet-up, looking forward to it but it seems that even before the meeting, somehow the outcome was predicted. i wonder why.
I'm not an advocate of expectations because with expectations comes the possibility of disappointment. However at times, the sub-conscious mind forms the expectations. Disappointment came last nite. It's tiring to go through this. Sometimes, i wish i had care less then perhaps it's not that bad.

Read up a newspaper article just now which put me to total disgust. Incest and pain these 2 grown-ups have brought to their own family. Yucks! I really feel sad for the victims. Something is really wrong with this world. Oh God, mankind really needs you for we have already degraded to such an extent. It pains my heart to even read about this, and what about Him who created the world with the intent of a perfect kingdom. Lord, how we have fallen short of U!
This article pulls me away from the disappointment in my life and reminded me that there are more unfortunate people out there who had faced much greater and worse disappointment in their lives. I should be glad that i have Lord in my life whom i can turn to. So i pray that i can look unto Jesus and not focus so much on this self. Easy to say but hard to do. Still, i pray...

Birth of SKETCHES OF LIFE!

It's the end of exams but it sure doesn't feel like it. Perhaps it was the long break in between each paper that creates this illusion that i was already having holidays then, with shopping, catching up with friends, and just watching the tv. :)
An end always leads to a new beginning... For now, it's the holidays but for the next semester, it's something else. Nah, i shan't even go into that for now. I'm just glad that the workload has come to a standstill for now.
I don't know why i am even starting a blog. It's so unusual of me to do something so public. But with the advancement of technology, i find it hard to even write on paper now. It seems too tedious. Heh...
Writing, sometimes is a form of venting or letting things out. Sometimes there's the mood to write. But the manual way kills the enthusiatic level. I guess now, with this, it's much easier and faster. :)
