Job, you smart fella
[ 3:36 am ] I know I should be sleeping at this time, but somehow I just don’t want to. I don’t know. I think it’s such a waste of time … I mean, I feel like time is wasted when you’re sleeping. Nah kidding, I love sleeping :) I was busy playing desktop defender on facebook … my latest weekend time sink. Don’t think Yee See will be pleased to know what I’ve been up to :-X I’m quite excited about the latest project we’re doing with a certain mobile manufacturer. I thank God for the ability to visualise designs in my head while driving … showering … sleeping … spacing out … yes, I do have an active mind. Things usually just fall into place and I don’t have to conceptualise too much. I believe He has put these things in me, so I guess it’s not my work, but His. I got 3 designs in my head that’s just waiting to have a label on it! Ok, enough about work. We should be receiving our loot tomorrow … and I need to clear off all my debts. Whatever that’s left, hopefully should last me a couple of more months. I’ve not taken Yee See out for a long time now. Ugh … the intricate art of balancing work and relationship. I’m not good at it. I think I’ll buy my family dinner, or maybe they’ll just have to sit through my experimental recipes. My mom is doing ok and will be discharged later this afternoon. Almost felt like she was out vacationing somewhere for the whole week. I hope she’s able to adjust … hmm … nevermind. I love bananas. I’ve not drank Ovaltine for a long time now. Not sure if you still can find it anymore … btw, there’s this show on TV, Willy’s Chocolate Factory … or was it Willy Wonky’s Chocolate Factory … hmm … anyways, this guy cooks with chocolate. Savoury dishes with chocolate. I know there’s a restaurant somewhere that does savoury chocolate. Can’t recall the name now, I’ll check with Kanmani when I see her … if I see her. Speaking of chocolates, my sister ate ALL my chocolates when we were young. Sometimes I do get bitter about it partly because of my grandpa’s favouritism towards granddaughters. I don’t have a single good memory of him. That’s odd right? I can’t seem to recall any, really. Most of them were quite nasty. It’s funny how people remember the bad things a lot more than the good. I wonder why? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any animosity against him, just that I don’t have any good memories of him. My grandma on the other hand, there’s way too many :) I wonder what happens when you microwave a banana. I was watching “The Fourth Kind” earlier this afternoon. It’s a docudrama/movie about … alien abductions. Particularly in the town of Nome, Alaska. I got fooled by the authenticity of the whole movie. The video footages looked very very real. If you’ve watch Blair Witch Project, you’d know what I meant. If you’re interested, go have a look, just don’t get freaked out. A part of me want to believe that aliens do exist, and the other part tells me they weren’t part of God’s creation. This collection of creation science books is really challenging the way I think about this world. Can I really accept and be ridiculed for believing the Earth is actually 6000 years old instead of what evolutionist claim to be billions of years old? It’s a very long debate that I don’t want to get into right now. But the bible holds so many scientific truths that were only discovered last century. Read the book of Job, and you’ll know what I mean. The book of Job is the oldest book in the bible … predating Genesis. Lemme look up a verse … Job 38:4-7 4 “ Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?Look at verse 7. Singing stars? Most people would think that it’s something poetic … but there’s a truth in it. The Hebrew word for sang is “renan”; it just means the emitting of a loud shrill, piercing sound. So what this verse tells us is basically, the stars were emitting loud piercing sound. What? You didn’t know stars emit sounds? This was only discovered in the late 1940s when scientists were testing radar equipments and they picked up some extremely high pitch noises that were so intense that the equipments could not work properly … which leads us to the discovery of radio telescopes. Job 28:25 25 To establish a weight for the wind,Yeah, everyone today knows air/wind has weight, but this wasn’t discovered until 300 years ago. It was written in the bible thousands of years but why it took the science community to acknowledge it? Job 26:7 7 He spreads out the northern skies over empty space;How did Job knew the Earth of suspended in space by the gravity of the sun? Or even the existence of space? How did he know the Earth of suspended over nothing? Nothing = space. This wasn’t an accepted truth until the 17th century, it was brought up and ridiculed in the 15th century. I guess people back then prefer to believe the world rested on a giant tortoise or on Atlas’s shoulders. Actually, there’s a lot more … but I’ll leave it to another day. Creation science and apologetics is very very interesting. I’ll share more the next time, it’s time for bed. 2 comments Friday, January 15, 2010
Life goes on.
[ 1:22 am ] My mom has cancer. It took a while for the reality to sink in. Any normal person would start asking a million and one question asking why this is happening, life is not fair, God is not fair, etc. I don’t think I’ve even at one point blamed God or was angry at Him. I still find no reason to be angry at Him … I find it silly actually. We repeat this in church almost every week, “God is good all the time and all the time God is good”. This is a truth. Despite whatever overwhelming circumstances we face in life, we still have a God that’s good. And because He is good, I know He’s there to make things right when everything seems wrong. Some simple logic la … you don’t need feelings to tell you that. Bad things do happen to good people and even as believers we do go through rough patches, these are parts and parcel of life. The wonderful thing about this is, it’s not from God. I don’t believe cancer is from God, it never was, it’s caused by sin (based on the creation science book I’ve been reading) when man first disobeyed God. Sickness was never part of creation. Anyways, bad things only happen because God permitted it. Why? I don’t know, maybe to refine us? Sometimes we might not see His hand in the situations we are in, but we know His heart. That’s where we place our trust in, because we ‘know’ God, His character. Thinking about it, God was in this all along if we open our eyes wider. She has been carrying that ‘thing’ for 2 years now. If not for that doctor to urge her to do an ultrasound, things could have been worse. I don’t think my mom wants that many people to know about the things she’s going through; I don’t see the problem in it. The more people know, then the more people should keep her in prayers. She’s been in the hospital since Monday now, and she’s doing quite fine. Doesn’t look like any cancer patient I know. She’s probably the only cheerful person in the ward … that’s my mom for you. A change from the person I knew before she accepted Jesus. Ok, I did tell God, He took my dad, so let’s make a deal, keep my mom around longer. She needs to be there to see her son get married, be a grandma and babysit the kids, ok? Hahahaha HUKM is one big hospital … Yee See and I was lost finding our way out last Monday. We ended up walking through the back of the hospital, pass the hostel, power generator, morgue, garbage bins, laundry area … we walked for 15 minutes till we got back to the front of the hospital. Well, that’s a little update from me. Life still goes on. I’m down to RM79, that’s all I have. Client promised us the money will be banked in next week. I certainly hope so. 2 comments Archives nothing |
