A sentence that I recently came across: “Where are the Pauls of this generation that will confront the Peters?”

How true it is….how true….

Instead of confronting, we choose to condone.

Instead of correcting, we choose to justify.

Instead of rebuking, we choose to accept.

Instead of conviction, we choose to be double-minded.

Instead of listening, we choose to ignore.

If only the Pauls knew how to confront in love and grace and if only the Peters knew how to be humble and listen and accept…

If only we were willing to spend more time in understanding and seeking after wisdom….

If only….

I had a dream last night…

I dreamt of some people whom I know…

I dreamt that they were scolding me…

I dreamt that I lost control of myself and I shouted at them, asking “What did I do wrong?”

The answer I received from the mob was shocking….

I cried in the dream…

I woke up from my dream, with tears actually in my eyes…..

Till now, I’m actually still thinking of the answers i received to my question in the dream….cause to some extent, it’s true…but to some extent, it’s also a lie…

But what really amazed me was that the crying in the dream, actually happened as soon as i woke up from the dream….

Had another guitar class on Fri and i must say that learning from kev has been getting more fun and exciting, and of course, challenging! Check out these 2 videos that some of us are trying to learn.

As The Deer

p.s. (pardon his imperfect playing for this song; but it was kinda impromptu for him in front of the camera..haha!)

Waiting For You

So the story goes that the algebra that both my supervisors and i have been working with in the past 12 months is WRONG…so they left me with the arduous task of finding the solution and deriving it correctly this time.

I had no help from them, only textbooks, my brain, paper and pen.

After using close to 30 pages of working and a few days of hard thinking, i finally managed to derive the whole thing on 8 full pages. I’m so proud of my achievement. It seemed an almost impossible thing for me, but i was so amazed that i solved it…well, my supervisors have yet to read it yet, but i’m confident that it’s correct…cause based on this new algebraic codings (aka, the theory), my computer codings (aka the practical side of things) work perfectly!

So if you wanna know what i’ve been doing for the past 2 days..this is the end product…you can imagine the process =)

1st 4 pages

last 4 pages

Now i will have to spend about 1 hour plus to type all these out….zzz..zzz….

TGIF…=D

Think today is a day that I just want to forget….not sure if it’s monday blues or what..but i went to work feeling really lazy and lethargic. And i think i slept well the night before too…hmmz

Mental block was the name of the game today…i had no idea what i was supposed to do or what i had to do….i was on Zomby mode….thank God for ben who called me out for lunch and drove me out of uni…hahaha! had a little breather there…

had a meeting with my supervisors and i actually asked my supervisors to remind me on what I had to do, and we had actually discussed abt it just last friday….and my supervisor jokingly told me to write down things during meetings next time….

Not to mention my disastrous typo errors today when chatting online with ppl….i typed “slept” instead of “slapped” and “fart” instead of “fat”…..if you had seen the context of what i was writing and you saw these mistakes in those sentences, you will LOL….

ok…i know that there are some things bugging me deep down inside…but frankly speaking, i dun wanna think abt it….hehehez….typical guy’s way of dealing with things =)

hahaha! after about 45 mins of trying (i consider myself a slow learner btw..^_^)…this is wat i managed to come up with =) Of course needs some refining..but i’m kinda proud of my achievement..=p

Have been learning guitar plucking from kevin for about 4 months now…I reckon that this is the toughest i have to learn thus far….

Yes, I won’t give up….

It’s important that in life, we know when to advance, and when to retreat….

When we advance, we advance without any excess baggage that should be released…

When we retreat, we seek to remove this excess baggage that we may have been carrying for a while….

Thought I shall just write another post lest i forget what i want to write…

Pretty sure all of us have heard that the only constant thing around us is change…meaning everything changes. Nothing stays the same.

And it’s the same with people. People do change. Relationships do change.

There have been countless occasions whereby I hoped against all odds that my friendships with people over the years can continue to be the way as before. But it all evolves and changes. What worked before cant work today. People grow and their mindsets and attitudes change. Therefore, the way we approach things can no longer be the same.

One thing I hate about growing up is that we know we can never go back to the past, where perhaps, things were simpler, we were more innocent, transparent and open. And in the growing up process, the world has caused us to cocoon ourselves, or perhaps caused us to become less trusting with one another and perhaps more defensive against one another.

There are at least 3 people now with whom I hope that we can actually live out our friendship as in the past….but unfortunately, I know it wun happen. And when that thought comes in, I just sigh and ponder at what could have been and what would have been….
