Mankind's Absurdity!

Why would anyone think that eating monkey brain can get you closer to God? Goodness. Even though God made men to be lord over the whole animal kingdom, but that doesn't mean we should practice cruelty towards the living things which have no defense against. Again, we're called to be lord over the animals so that we will protect them.

Sigh. Mankind and the amusement of cruel act. Totally off God's plan for mankind. The influence of satan. So, we should all say, "Get away from me, satan, in Jesus' name!"

House Season 4

I haven't written much these days. I didn't think that it matters really to write up things which any other person can write, or things that people don't read. People may not read and comment to me that it's boring, but most people read, and probably gossip and think behind me. It wasn't that much of good experience about people anyway.

I'm pretty much sensitive at the moment due to the Who Am I? Seminar I'm sitting in this weekend. Another electrical jolt on "Who am I?" really. Another arena to explore and inviting God to heal. But this is not what I want to write about.

I just finished watching House M.D. season 4. It is the shortest season, only 16 episodes, but one of the most touching finale. I didn't get to watch the 3rd season's finale so I didn't know how emotionally triggering it was after Foreman left, Cameron resigned and Chase was fired by House. In season four's finale, Amber (Wilson's on-screen girlfriend) died of bus crash because she went out to fetch drunken House home. And House went way out to save Amber's life, went into a seizure after discovering that certain flu meds which Amber took right before the crash caused her definite death as her kidneys were destroyed at the accident. Her body was unable to naturally filter out the chemical in the flu meds.

What really touches me is how frail life is, and what we would do in order to preserve it when we suddenly find ourselves in the position where life is slipping away fast. We're no longer in control of our lives, that's when we would badly want to be in control of any other thing which we could. Young people nowadays, you and I, like routine so much because we are afraid of losing control of the few things which we think we have full knowledge of. Some people would avoid at all cost of not knowing certain facts, certain directions, even God's invitations to know ourselves deeper, just because we're afraid of going through the pain of knowing and losing control of the "wonderful life" we thought we have.

If we really think God is great, and why do we think we are not great? The formula given is "if God is great, then a great God can only create great beings. If we're created by God, and we acknowledge that God is great, then we must be great too." So if anyone who says we're not great, we're not good, then he must be telling us lies. The Scriptures taught us that the devil is the father of lies, so this must be the work the devil that we think we're not as great, or we're just some plain, boring beings.

Young people these days have this issue of not being great, and just being ok is enough, because it is safe. Great things are for others and not for ourselves. Time for us to move toward reclaiming the very fact that we can be great because the God who created us is great, and we are created to be His mirror image.

That's it. House M.D. is just a messed up imaginary images of everybody who is afraid of acknowledging and befriending themselves. That's why everybody likes House M.D. and this medical drama is one of the highest rating series in the States.

A Visit to the Lok Kawi Wildlife Park with SHC English Choir

Yups... It was a super impromptu trip, initiated by my sifu, Christine and the rest on 24th night. Hehe! I had always wanted to go to the zoo... Somebody should be able to remember what I said and how disappointed I was when I was brought to the entrance of the zoo and deprived of entering it! Hehe! ^_______________^ I'm so happy that I finally got the chance~~ THANKS A LOT, GALS!

Let me briefly summarize the whole trip via photos~~

Entrance/Exit of Lok Kawi Wildlife Park, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Alright, that's all for my report... I shall look forward to see some squels from you all~~ LOL! Basically after that we went home, I managed to stop by Stella Maris blessed sacrament for a few moments of silence with God. In fact, I became so in awe with God the moment I stepped into the wildlife park and started seeing animals in front of me. Seeing how the youngs were being taken care by their mothers... The love that even animals would shower on their offsprings... What more us, as humans, to God? Besides the verse, "Lord I'm amazed by You...", there were 101 things on my mind at that moment. I thank God for all that happened... because I know all occurred for a reason... And I choose to believe He meant business when He broke me into pieces... Business which will prosper me and transform my life into what God calls me to be. Till the day comes... Only one single word I can use... PERSEVERANCE.

At night I drove to Servay after daily mass to buy Tenom coffee (my mom's instruction) to be brought back to Johor next week, and then decided to drop by 1Borneo for some shopping spree. Managed to grab some lovely coloured undergarments at Tune Store, a black, really really formal dress and a working blouse in Niichii. All up to 70% discount. In between that I bought Zane's wedding gift (since I couldn't make it for her wedding due to my scheduled Inner Healing and Transformation Seminar from 27-30 November) and also something for Sislady.

Then I came home and finally bought my air tickets for CNY. Phew! Spent more than RM800 in a day! What a record for myself!!!! The tickets cost me RM500++. I wish AirAsia would be more considerate in increasing the price of the tickets as the time draws near to festive season. As a teacher, I feel the pinch whenever I feel like flying home during school holidays and festive seasons... Ouch!!!

Overall it was an achievement for me to get many things done in a single day. Now what is left is tomorrow - wrapping Zane's wedding gift, meeting Mirina for lunch and an outing with my colleagues in Tanjung Aru... Then it'll be Thursday... Where Brenda and myself will travel with some people to Bundu Tuhan for our retreat... Can't wait to taste and see God on the mountain... I wonder how Elijah felt when he felt the presence of God in the gentle breeze and how Moses felt when he worshipped God at the mountain top that his face glowed until he had to cover with a cloth? I want that experience. I know I will.

Hehe! I shall share about the Prodigal Son in tomorrow's entry...

Till then... God bless us all!
