IHP.
its just the second day and i'm getting really sick of it. why must i wake up at 7am everyday and go to school, in a freezing room and stare at my laptop!?
argh!!
projects have been assigned, but not some areas are not confirmed. i still gotta go for C Programming crash course before i can even attempt programming the integrated software for my project.
so what do i do in the mean time?
listen to songs, play really crap games and chat online.
its so freaking bored and cold in this room that i can't even think!

seems that everything kinda pieced together after service.
pastor tan shared about staying on our course, finishing strong in God. he shared about our destiny, purpose thats linked to our desires, how we trust God in our walk with Him and not allowing disappointments in our lives to bring us down.
he shared an analogy about people boarding the plane to LA, not knowing who the pilot is, and not knowing how the flight plan to LA and obeying simple instructions from the stewardess when the plane hits a turbulance.
with something thats of the norm, pastor tan used it to describe our walk with God.
we KNOW our destination (desires that the Holy Spirit placed in us). but we do not know how we're going to reach that destination. so we trust God to bring us to the right places, best places, that leads us to our destination.
along the way, we may meet problems and rough times, but if we listen and obey the voice of God, we would be safe! God is a good God and He wouldn't harm us!
when the plane hits an turbulance, do you knock on the cabin and instruct the pilot, or do you scramble to your seat and pray hard?
trust God!
God works towards our destination! He already has wonderful plans for everyone of us, but do we want to obey and yield to Him?
like any commerical plane, there's always a risk of being hijacked. disappointments can hijack our "planes" and cause it to go to another destination.
disappointment -> resentment -> bitterness.
bitterness is like poison to the soul. it would never reveal itself until triggered. by then, it would be too late because the damage is already done. once we have the careless, couldn't be bothered, attitude, beware! because bitterness maybe manifesting in you already.
bitterness has the power to overshadow relationships, the value and importance! that is why unresolved problems often leads to arguments, thus bitterness builds up and when it rears its ugly head, people breakup and give up relationships.
forgiveness is the only antidote for bitterness. its not just giving the person a chance to prove that he's really sorry. but its a GIFT, grace! the grace to forgive someone because of the VALUE of the relationship.
God forgives everyone of us because we're all valuable to Him. there's only one of us on this earth! we're all precious to Him!!
when God forgives, He has the FAITH that we would change for the better. likewise when we forgive someone, we must have the faith that he/she will change for the better!!
the bible says that if someone sins against us 7 times in a day and if he asks for forgiveness, we forgive that person 7 times in that day too!! look like how merciful our God is!!
but if we continue with the bitterness of our hearts, we would end up in a place of no repentance, a place where we can't even find God's peace in our hearts because there's just too many hatred in our hearts.
its our duty to forgive.

photos are great memory triggers.
a picture is worth a thousand words and a picture can trigger all sorts of memories kept in our mind.
received 200mb of pictures from sean just now and as i was browsing through the photos, all kinds of memories came flooding into my mind. those bittersweet moments, euphoria and times of celebrations seems like yesterday.
everyone have moved on with their lives, back to what they used to do, but for some, its a life changing event.
treasure moments like this because you'll never know what will tomorrow bring.
friends, for eternity=)
