The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction;

Let us not become weary in doing good,
for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people,
especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

It's a nice show! Watch it!
The climax of the show is the review of Anton Ego... I think it somewhat strikes me, so I had to look at the review again (Spoilers for those who haven't watch)
To quote the review: (thanks to imdb.com)
In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. Last night, I experienced something new, an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto: Anyone can cook. But I realize that only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France. I will be returning to Gusteau's soon, hungry for more.

:: Rainy days are bad? ::
I just came home from prayer meeting...I had always hated the rain, it somehow always makes me sad or changes my mood to a very negative one but amazingly,
God made me see the rain in another way...
It has been raining these few days, and just a few days ago God told me to look at the rain... He asked if I knew why it is raining, and the only things I could think of were the bad things that usually happen like getting wet, sick, flu, slippery road, car accidents, etc. He told me to look carefully, beyond the rain... I could see that He has been giving grace like rain, pouring down his love on all of us! So these few days, everytime it rained I could only think about how graceful God is...
During Saturday, I was suppose to lead worship as well as today's prayer meeting. The rain and God's grace keep coming to my mind but I couldn't find any song that links to that, only the last line of "Spirit Touch the Church" has some link... So I completely had no idea what songs to lead until one morning when I woke up which I think was last Wednesday, I woke up with some songs in my head and I quickly find these songs and wrote them down and went to get them on Saturday before I went for cell group. Most of the songs were pretty much not linked to each other and I had quite alot of songs picked, I think about 7 songs... SO MUCH?!
Well, that's what I said to God... "SO MUCH?!" how to lead? I wanted to lead the same sets of songs for Sat and Tues, but apparently the Spirit lead me otherwise... In the end I only used 4 of songs for cell and miraculously these songs were linked to the Words taken that day!
Then today in prayer meeting, I used the rest of the songs because I wanted to bring out my experience with God, so insisted to put that song in my sequence, I also last minute added a song and last minute put together the order. I expected everything to not turn out very well cos of the lack of preparation but I had faith in God. So I just went on like any other worship... first 2 songs like normal with normal flaws then after the third song was something different, I went on with Spirtual singing and something happened...
I was suppose to say something, a prayer of some sort... but I couldn't find the words then the Spirit started leading me, word by word, which eventually linked to the last song! woo!
The funny thing was that, after the whole thing, Pastor said that the prayer was pretty much a summary of the things he wanted to share today also but I dunno why I just couldn't remember what I said... I had to take some time recapping what I said, good thing I burned a piece to listen to myself agian...
Now everytime it rains, I'm reminded that God gives grace like rain...

27th August, Monday, 2007 will be my driving practical test. I'm not ready. My instructor I have a 50% of passing. Said that I wasn't expert enough. So I'm guessing that it's going to depend on which tester I get in the end.I will praise God if I pass, then I can help drive people home.
I will praise God if I fail, then I won't become proud and boast.

:: Anagram ::
Wow! I learnt a new word!It's fun!
It's confusing!
It's Anagrams!
It was used in the series harry potter once... the "Tom Marvolo Riddle" is an anagram of "I am Lord Voldemort" also in the game Kingdom Hearts "Xemnas" is the anagram of "Ansem" with an X, the same goes for "Roxas=Sora"
Other anagrams include "Dormitory = Dirty Room" and "Astronomer = Moon Starer" and "A Gentleman = Elegant Man"
So let's see wat "Andrew Wai" can be...
A New Raw Id
A Ware Wind
Aid New War
Award Wine
Draw A Wine
I Wear Wand
New Raw Aid
Widen A War
Wind Aware
While "GentleSquall and CryptoCloud" anagrams to "Cuddly, gallant conquest prole"
Wow! Another new word!
Prole - short for proletarian
and another word!
Proletarian - a member of the proletariat
and another!!
Proletariat - the class of wage earners, esp. those who earn their living by manual labor or who are dependent for support on daily or casual employment; the working class

Funny how every movie I watch, there is a review... actually not a review but a learning point for me at least. I always feel that everything I do, hear or see, I would think that it's something God wants me to go through. I would ask God what He wants me to learn so that I am prepared for my life ahead. But most of the time I feel that I'm just thinking too much... cos usually I dun ask God... >.<Sorry God!
Anyway, the movie... It's a comedy! Robbie Williams movie are always funny... and inspirational... there's always a learning point or at least a good reminder... that's why I always watch his movies!
This time, without fail I learnt something...
Firstly, Guys are jerks! I soooo hate myself now...
Secondly, I'm not a good guy too and I want to do something about it!
I wish I can go for the course in the movie... it's a good course!

:: Super Wierd Dream ::
I had another dream this morning... a really wierd one... I can't remember most of the dream though cos it's been one whole day before I remember to write down... BUT!there's this part of the dream that's somehow clearer...
I was given this 3-4 feet long slimy 'thing' black in color and looked like the tail of a scorpion with shell-like layers about 5-6 layers in total, and at the end of the tail was sharp, like a worm like creature but it's head was an eyeball the size of a basketball!
I felt something wrong about it like it was still alive or something then I ripped it into pieces, shell by shell like peeling a prawn until I tot it was surely dead but somehow something bad happened and it was still alive... and I think it wanted to eat my brain or something...
den I dunno what happened...

:: G. I. Fu ::
I had a dream...I was in room, like an office of some sort and there was this guy with attitude trying to pick a fight with me showing me some attitude, I walked closer to him and he threw something at me but dodged it easily like I'm Neo from the matrix. He pointed a gun at me and shot at me but I also dodged it easily and went closer, grab his hand and pointed the gun at himself, he shot himself at that instant and dropped the gun. The other military guys came in to clear the mess while I tried to take the bullet out of him which I did, they took the gun but there were other equipments and guns on the ground which I didn't want to put my fingerprints on.
All of a sudden, a whole classroom of children came into the room and one of them picked up the mp5 sub-machine gun, I panicked and didn't know how to take the gun away from him cos I didn't want to put my fingerprints on the gun. He started shooting into the sky and everytime he pointed the gun near me, I would try to dodge away where he's pointing, soon I could see that he can see the fear in me and started playing with me by scaring me and pointing the gun at me... I tried many ways to distract him but failed... until...
Out of the sky came a UFO, I said look! but he didn't believe me until it crashed landed, he turned and started running like mad but he chased (we were now in a field with fence around) and shot at me though none hit me. Then the aliens from the UFO started coming out, started zapping people around and holding many hostage...
Somehow, I manage to not get could or shot and went behind 1 of the alien like a stealth assasin, grabbed it's laser gun and shot it, it disintegrated in front of me. I started sneaking in the crowd of hostages who were standing up raising they're hands and killed the other aliens in my area. I became like a hero at the point but I didn't stand for the glory and instead I started planning to rescue the rest of hostages from the other area.
The other area had probably heard about our area and threaten us that if we came into their area to save the rest, they would kill the hostages, they also said that the salvation of these people are not worth your time, just let them die... But I felt that I should still save them despite what they said is pretty much true.
So we waited till night for he right time, we chiong into the place shooting down all the aliens and some were even hiding in crowd which we had to stop. Some of the crowd were somehow on the side of the aliens trying to stop us but I rushed through them like a star rugby player and reached the end of the hallway but no sign of the last few aliens.
Suddenly, a voice and a big shadow went over the crowd so I tot they were flying and attacking from on top so immediately I jumped backwards, sliding on my back for a long distance looking up for the invaders and ready to shoot them down! But strangely, I saw nothing... and i woke up...
I wasn't happy with the ending cos I tot they had fly back to get reinforcement so I went back to sleep to chase them into the galaxy shooting them down... about 3 of them I killed... but still I felt some escaped, I looked around but the galaxy was just too big for me... I gave up... I know they will be back... I woke up.
Wow! Am I playing too much game...?

:: Sorry God, for today. ::
Today didn't really seems glorifying to you God. I woke up feeling tired cos I went back to sleep after I woke up and didn't finish my sleep cycle. Feli sms to tell me she forgot she got bible study so cannot go dance. Then yesterday my mei mei say simpsons movie nice so I tot maybe could go watch it wednesday or monday n funny I chose to watch it today... big mistake...Like what the Amarant Coral says, "The only dependable thing about the future is uncertainty."
Today's plan was suppose to be...
2pm-3.30pm: Driving lesson
6pm: meet Feli go register for dance
but... 6pm was cancelled... nvm, so I was thinking can go back swimming, so the plan was...
2pm-3.30pm: Driving lesson
7.30pm: swimming
but once again, something else happen... so instead of going home to change b4 i went swimming I had to bring my swimming stuff to driving... and went straight after that... so I tried to confirm the movie with sooooooooooo many ppl if they want to watch but in the end 5 ppl watch... ok, I AM NEVER going to ask those ppl again... ever!
I think the main reason I wanted to watch was because I needed a laugh... I've been feeling rather stress lately... Emotionally stress... Had to take so many shit from people especially listening to their negativity in life which is very energy draining! VERY! so anyway, All I wanted was a laugh, quick one, so I called to watch simpsons the movie which my mei described as funny... big mistake...
Yes, It is funny. It exaggerates life that's why it's funny. How loser Ned is for being a faithful christian, how ignorant we see the government deals with matters when the president says, "I'm here to lead, not read", how neighbours react to environmental issues when Lisa tries to knock on every door and getting rejected all the time, and finally how oblivious those christians dealt with the prophecy that grandpa simpson gave especially Homer simpson.
I had a quite a good laugh just now, thx guys. Whereas for the movie, I learnt some life lesson. It's not about me being happy cos in the end everything will be gone. So what if you die happy when everyone around you is sad because of you. It's just selfish to sacrifice others for your own happiness.
God, I'm sorry for seeking pleasure in worldy jokes and not seeking you. I'm sorry for not seeking you when in need of peace. I'm sorry I cast you away. I ask of you to come back into my life, mould me, teach me to be more like you. Guide me through the hardships that I might be going through. Use these hardship to mould me into a better person. Let your name be glorified. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

:: Power freak ::
yesterday was just soooo tiring... I took a nap in the afternoon n slept at 2am when I was super tired... then something happened.I went into deep sleep as soon as I got on bed and started dreaming, I could immediately tell I was dreaming cos it wasn't really pleasant and I keep hearing voices and distorted images of my environment. I tried to wake up but couldn't and in the end I went into the phase of what is called Lucid Dreaming.
At first I was in a house, a very plain house with people, different kinds of people and none that I've ever met. Then I was like a weirdo with super powers. The people, and characters in my dream seemed to have a mind of their own and I couldn't much manipulate them but I had total control over the environment and myself. I could fly into the galaxy through space and time, I could change landscape into mountians, valley, oceans, and create skyscrappers at an instance but couldn't really do much due to my lack of imagination.
I was flying through walls and going around the whole though I don't really know what the world really looks like... After having fun playing around with my super powers, I was suddenly back in the house and kind of like chasing this person, I don't know if it's a him/her cos he/she could shapeshift on it's own... I flew through walls to run after it but it was fast... and I think I spent the whole night chasing it haha... hmm... weird dream...

:: Festival of Praise ::
Today I realise that it's actually the 21st FOP this year! And you know what it means?! FOP started the year I was born!!! wow! I'm special...Ok, anyway... some things happen today... n a few days b4 today... I'm having my driving lesson today until 5pm but my cell is meeting at that time so how was I gonna meet up with them?! n the problem is I DUNNO HOW TO GO!!!
soo these few days I couldn't find anyone to meet up at a later time to go and I was feeling like I'm a lost sheep at the bottom of the valley who's slightly later than the herd and miss the chance to climb up with the rest to the top of the valley where the grass were much more green.
Apparently, my shepherd is not the type who would give up the whole herd to find the lost sheep type... so when I said I wanted to give up going up, my shepherd didn't really say anything... I was so sad... So lost... So hungry...
Anyway, feeling so lost, I actually wanted to give up going to FOP... cos of 3 reasons:
1st: My timing doesn't allow me to meet up with my cell.
2nd: I don't know how to go there, I admit I'm a road idiot.
3rd: My soul is telling my mind that my body will probably be too tired after driving.
But, this other sheep didn't give up on me... he keep ask me to go up the valley and even offered to teach me how to go up but I was too stupid and maybe too proud to bother learning but the main reason was that I didn't want to go up alone... Then after about 1 hr of trying to encourage me to go up and offering different solutions, he finally offered me help in another way...
He told me another shepherd will be on the way up at a later time, and told me that I could go ask from this shepherd's help... So there...
In the end I did went to FOP... cos of 2 reasons.
1st: My spirit is willing and it is hungry for GOD!
2nd: God is good, all the time cos He will make a way.
So now I just want to say...
Thank you Lord.
