November 08

Time flies and i remember welcoming the year 2008 and now 2009 is just around the corner. 2010 is just slightly over a year away. 2010 always seems to be like in the distant future. When i was a kid, i always thought we did have robots doing all our work and travelling by space ships by 2010. hee hee!

Its been 3 months since i left SIM. I have made new friends here and settled down as well. But i still prefer the education industry. Maybe because it reminds me of my time in the university. Maybe i just miss my friends at SIM.

I feel people are always making things hard for themselves and for others. We set rules, guidelines and expectations and then try hard to keep them and fulfill them. There are some people who cannot eat fish without a fish knife, no matter how hungry. Yes, strange as it is, these people will look at the plate of fish and say , " i can't eat this without a fish knife". Then there are some people who look at the plate of fish and say "This fish looks delicious." Then, they will use any cultery available and eat the fish so that at the end of the day, the fish is eaten and they are no longer hungry.

Sometimes, i am on the fence when it comes to these 2 kinds of people. On one hand, there is a proper way to eat fish and the right cultery to use. But then, its all about eating the fish so we can be full. I mean, isn't that what the real purpose is? So, why complicate matters? Some would of course argue that its their choice. Others would say that it is their personal preferences.

Well, perhaps our pride has a part to play. Our egos maybe? Or perhaps we are just not humble enough.

I pray that we will always remain humble and always put God first in all that we do. All of us are in the same bus ride in this journey we call life. Let's not focus all our energy and attention on striving to get the fish knife when what we really should be doing is to eat the fish and be full.

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
And His Righteous
And all these things will be added unto you.

Praise The Lord!

Amen.
