Collecting Pine

Not long back, i was away for a simple weekend retreat up in the mountains.
One of the evening, i went for a breeze walk along the path where there was pine tree in abundance. Then i had this thought running through my mind, "If Pine = Choices".

There are many pines along the path, and if each of them are decision or choices that we have to make in mind, how would we know which would be the best for our life? The nicest? the prettiest? The fattest? the thinnest? the most bright colour? the darker colour? What if we pick one of it and feel that it is the best, but find other more attractive ones later. Do we throw or abandon our choice/ decision that we have made? do we continue to keep it, but have others as well?

God gave us the freewill to pick and choose what we want most. We are given the freedom of choice in life, it was not set by fate or destiny, it is held in your hands. To know his plan for you (Jeremiah 1:5), you would have to ask for his guidance when face with difficult choices that would make us think for days or even months, which might end up in years of deciding. When we sincerely ask for his generous love and guidance, we can then be more assured of the plan that he has for us.

What would happen if we want something else (the other choices that we are offered), would it offend him and make him angry, which might result in him not guiding us anymore since we have gone against his will, that he has for us. He is a generous and kind heart, slow to anger GOD. He will accept and respect our decisions that we made, but if anything goes wrong, it would be wrong to blame him for the failure, because he didn't create failure, it was OUR own choice, he didn't threaten to take back the life that he has given us despite we not "obeying" his plan. He will still guide us and show us the way for the choice that we have made.

Taking marriage as an example, it is our choice to get married to the person that we have chosen. Therefore divorce should not be happening because it was our own choice and freewill to pick our life partner.

I choose ONE pine during the walk and decided to take that back. After bring it back, i went out for another walk on another path. This path had even more pine, it was even bigger, nicer, and brighter colour. But i have made up my mind of taking only ONE back with me to PJ. So do i take the new choices, or stick with the current pine that i have chosen.

Temptations do come into play when we have many choices, it can come in many forms. I'm sure each and everyone of us has given in to temptations at one time or another.

Chinese proverb has a saying *Flower beside the road r always prettier, but dun simply take it for it might bring harm/ dis-harmony*.

Take your time to chose the right and most suitable, ask for GOD's guidance when the need arise. Be humble and he will show his plans and the best choice for us.

一秒钟遇到一个人,一分钟认识一个人,一小时喜欢一个人,一天爱上一个人,但是要用一辈子去忘记一个人.

如果爱了,却爱在不对的时候,
除了珍藏那一滴心底的泪,无言的走远,又能有什么选择?

在对的时间,遇见对的人,是一种幸福
在对的时间,遇见错的人,是一种悲伤
在错的时间,遇见对的人,是一声叹息
在错的时间,遇见错的人,是一种无奈
〖以前〗☆→伤了→累了→儍了→怕了☆
【如今】☆→伤了→累了→儍了→怕了☆
〖现在〗☆→断了→忘了→分了→算了☆
【学会】☆→忘情→忘爱→忘伤→忘痛☆

你发觉到了吗?

爱的感觉,总是在一开始觉得很甜蜜,总觉得多一个人陪、多一个人帮你分担,你终於不再孤单了,至少有一个人想著你、恋著你,不论做什么事情,只要能一起,就是好的,但是慢慢的,随著彼此的认识愈深,你开始发现了对方的缺点,於是问题一个接著一个发生,你开始烦、累,甚至想要逃避,有人说爱情就像在捡石头,总想捡到一个适合自己的,但是你又如何知道什么时候能够捡到呢?

Children vs Older people

Why some people prefer to look after children rather than older people.
(Responsibility put aside, and i'm not saying that we can abandon people who have watch us grow up, and those who are our elders.)

Children are cuter and more innocent. Older people have gone through life, and have learn valuable experience.

Children just started out, and is still learning. Older people can be said as "Ate more salt, than you eat rice"

Children learn things from us. We learn things from Older people.

Children are easier to teach. Older people is harder to teach due to restriction, we might just offend them. They might tend to feel that they know everything, and we know nothing, harder to teach them new things.

Children generally bring more joy and cheers into our life than Older people do?

Children when we see them, we are happier and let go of our worries. Older people when we see them, we might think of sadness, remorseful, and might think of things that has happen in their life, fear of becoming like them?

Having children around us, make it easier to know new friends. People might start off playing with the kid, and move on to start small talk with the parents/ "guardian"

People prefer having kids around, they add to the fun (except when people want peace and quiet)

day 6/9/2010

This morning went to see my supervisor for the project, since i reach early than the scheduled time, i waited at the waiting area as he was discussing with another student.
There was fierce and powerful "shouts" coming from within...
One that I heard there are very powerful terrible curse / training sound. .
(OMG!! looks like he today PMS leh... will he also "kill" me later on)
After that he chatted in a much nicer tone with the girl, since he felt that her idea and scope is too humongous, too wide and will need a long time to finish it, which is impossible to be completed within a short and tight time frame.

And she came out, I entered. Gave him my proposal, and told him a summary of my idea for the project, which he gave some practical advice, so I am more clear on the path that i would like to take in order to get to my destination.


"Pray as you go, and everything will be alright"
"Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD"

Guy should not start dating early in life.

Guy/ Men should not start dating early. Why?

They should study more while still young, and focus on building a successful career. Even when the time they are 40, there will still be 18 year old young girls falling right into their arms, giving them "tender loving care".

I believe that all men understand what is assets and liabilities.

Assets = Enter the pocket
Liabilities = Paid out from the pocket

Example: If you rent out a house which is higher than the payment of monthly installment, then it is an asset. (House rent income > Loan payment = Asset)


Superficial women will be a blocking stone in building up the business, asking for company often if not every moment, buying her material stuff, paying for her expenditures, those obviously are liabilities.

Think about it. Hmmmm......

其实男人不应该早拍拖
应该趁年轻多学多读,将来创一番事业,到时就算你40出,也会有18岁的美眉向你投怀送抱

相信所有男人都懂什么是资产与负债

资产=可以进入口袋的
负债=从口袋掏出的

例子(租出去的房子若高于你缴付的贷款=你的资产。)

其实肤浅的女人只会阻碍你在事业上的冲刺,要求你整天陪伴她,买包包请吃饭,这些很明显都是负债。

男人,有钱有女人
