Recently, went to Marcus and Wanhua's ROM. If you have read my previous blogs, the girl that I am referring to is this couple. Guess that I should move on le.. Anyway, no pictures of me and them yet. But I have taken with Marcus. He looks so cool. Haha... Guess that marriage doesn't only beautify a girl but it coolifies a guy too... haha...
Hayato returned back on a Monday morning at 1 am. I think I would miss him and Hiroshi and the rest of the Japanese SOT students lots... My time which has been used for translation has been gone too.. My role in cg seems to have diminished too. If I really do have a chance to go to Japan, I would. If there is a job there, I definitely would. But I think I consider myself to be a lazy person bah. To learn japanese on my own is very tough. Excuses and more excuses. Unless I am once more motivated by 12 years ago "the motivation force", I think to learn Japanese, it would take quite a while.
What do I mean by the motivation force? 12 years ago, when I was in Sec 3, I suddenly went crazy and studied really very hard for my mathematics because I got 50 plus for my maths and science in Sec 2. Because of the fact that I went to art class. None of the people I know went to art class with me. And also I cannot take the fact that I got A* for PSLE and yet I got so little. That is cause I was still playing computer games at that time. Quite cocky. I was so so so motivated by this that throughout the 2 years, I was doing mathematics constantly. 3 E maths textbook and 1 A maths textbook. It is crazy. But I think that it is worth the effort bah.

And right now, busy finishing up all the Mid year papers of 2008 school papers to give my students the extra practice for their O level...

I really never would have thought I would have this part of the entry. But I think I cannot forget this... Today, Melvin preached on integrity. It might not be much. cause integrity is not based on knowledge but based on who that person is. Only a person with integrity can preach a message on integrity. Because this topic is based on the inner side of man.

However, what impresses me today is of a powerful revelation I have gotten from Melvin. My mind is completely washed away by the currents and torrents of this revelation. To link Arminian and Calvinistic approach with integrity is a bit strange. But he linked it very well. And I would never have thought that these two approaches on looking at God CAN be linked with integrity.

Ok, what is the Calvinistic approach? It is an approach whereby theologians believed that God has planned everything for us, and we are walking along this path without the choice of deviating from this path. If we are saved, it is because God has planned it to be. If we are not saved, that is also cause God has planned it to be.

For Arminian approach, theologians believed that God know who is saved. People has the free will to get themselves saved, and God will allow that choice to happen.

For a person of no integrity, he can say that he is meant not to be saved according to the Calvinistic approach. So he sees no point of changing for the better. Or he can say that he has the free will whether to change anot and God will follow his choice according to Arminian approach. That is a dangerous mindset.

God is of two approaches. He is not Calvinistic nor Arminian. He is God. Thus, to think in this dangerous mindset is placing all responsibilities on God instead and places no desire to change. This is a powerful revelation. Thank you, Melvin for all that you have shared.

Today I just finished the birthday card for a particular someone in the cell group. Tough sia, especially when the standard of birthday cards in our cell group is super high. Here are the pictures.

Recently, I watched this drama. "1 litre of tears" . It is only the second episode but my eyes are watery le... Because it is so saddening to see the actress dying as time goes by. This is a real life story.. The disease is spinocerebellar degeneration disease. You can check using Wikipedia. The person I am referring to is a girl called Aya. 15 years old. Sigh!

Yesterday night went out with Fiona, Eujean, Ying, William, Kay Boon, Eunice, her bf and Hayato. It is a night of celebration, I guess. Drank much but of course we are not drunk. I drank Asahi, apple martini and 5 bottles of Heineken. I was drowsy but still sober on the taxi. Sent Fiona and Eujean back. They are too tired le... AFter sending them back, I went home, thinking a lot. But these thoughts will be penned down in a later time. So a moment after I went to bed, I vomitted. Shucks... First time vomit after drinking beer... The feeling is hmm... not that kind of feeling I thought I would have... hangover or anything... dont have... It is just a normal biological reaction to the beer I have been drinking... Guess that I am not suitable to drink... haha...
