Looking back at buying time...

In the era where homepage making was a craze, i too dived into the trend. Going thru the homepage which i torn down, the remains reminded me that once upon i had a blog before this blogging thing came into fashion. In the last "renovations", i removed most of the poems and stories i had written, and these were my unspoken tots and emotions. And the reault for removing them were becos too many ppl i know were hitting the page like 3 meals a day... How can i let so many ppl noe wat i was feeling or thining or going thru each day ley?

Oki, out of point again... Anyway, the following is the article which i extracted to share with u ppl.
Enjoy.

---------- Buying Time ----------

A man came home from work late again, tired and irritated, to find his 5 year old son waiting for him at the door.

"Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
"Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man.
"Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?"
"That's none of your business! What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy.
"If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?"

The father was furious.

"If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you're being so selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and don't have time for such childish games."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy's questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money. After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep son?" he asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man.
"It's been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Here's that $10.00 you asked for.
" The little boy sat straight up, beaming.
"Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled up bills.The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man.

"Why did you want more money if you already had some?" the father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?"

Too many a time have we forgotten wat we already, we forgotten abt each other. Busy parents ( whom we'll be someday ) often remember only the material needs of a child, giving them whatever what they did not have as a child, but neglecting their emotional needs. Do u spend time with your family? Do u spend time with your child / children, your oen parents? What good is it to have everything but yet without anyone to share it with???

Your parents made you what u are today, how could u exist if not for them??? Your children are your responsiblity, u shape their future ......... No one promised u that life was going to be easy??? Life is never a bed of roses, even if it is, thorns are included too. Take heart, cos you are not alone...............

Ok

疯， 也该疯够了。。。

是时候做回正常人了。。。

应该做回应该做的事了。。。

HOPE... The confident expectation of GOOD!

Time is really something we dun have, nor can we influence, let alone having control over it... We all know there is no price that we can buy it, cos it cannot be bought. Time is and never on anyone's side, neither yours not mine... Its merely an element, a tool that exist in our lives... good or bad will be dependant on how u view and uses it.

Few days back, i caught 2 movies >>> (Da Vinc Code & Poseidon) Interesting shows which gave me quite abit of thoughts... Especially Poseidon... And i was going to unload everything i had that came to mind to tis blog, but i really had problem penning it down. It really felt like i was conducting a post-mort on an intimate msg from a loved one, opening it up and trying to explain to ppl why and wat it mean and was trying to say. It jus dun feel rite bah...

Anyway, in short, the show jus showed me that time was running out and there are things waiting for me to get into. Though time was running out, time is still needed for me to to learn... Many things will come my way, legitimate or not they will come and they will be obstructions at some point of time. Like complancy, greed, fear, dependance on self knowledge for survival; These may kill me if i dwell on them......

I was thinking to myself, if i were every one of those ppl onboard the ship, would i ask for death, or stay put with the ship's captain or i would follow and venture out with Dylan? i have no answer for that, cos i really dare not think. But there is one thing i do agree, and that is :


With HOPE

ordinary ppl can also have extraordinary courage

to do extraordinary things,

things that to overcome the impossible...

Colossians 1:27 (New King James Version)

To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

1 Peter 1:3
Praise to God for a Living Hope

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

--------------------

Oki, my chinese is really limited, and i cant really think at this time of the day after all the medications... So... i switching to channel 5 now. ^_^ Like tat i can write and understand better at wat i am writing to myself...

Hmm... I did learnt quite a few things this week, but i not sure if i rem it all. But the impt thing is that i realized that the Holy Spirit is with me and teaching me all the time, and i do not haf to worry if i rem each and every single lesson. Yup, you read correctly, i typed the word "WORRY". For those who noticed, i loved to carry an notebook with me... In the notebook i wrote everything, from my journals/diaries to sketches/drawings to my QT notes and sermons and everything... For one thing, i do love to write down all these things, becos i know i will forget... And u all know how easily i can forget something... Ya lor... Din know it can be a worry also... Not good lor...

Overly concern = worry...
Too much worrying will turn to unrest / depressed...
Then think too much will lead to tension or prolong tension (in other words, Stress)

It so easy to get depressed, and there are so many ppl affected by it... You dun need me to tell you how bad are the consequences... So, lighten up... breathe... The sky is not going to fall!

Meow~~~

This meowing thing is in such peaceful state of rest.

You gotta to love her!

^_^

Ps. Got this pic from dunno where, not i take wan lah.

My BELOVED School

Gotta thank my fren for telling me that she has been posted to TNS... Post there for wat ah??? To TEACH lor... unbelieveable rite?!!! THat's my school lor!!! The school where i spent 6 years, the school where i had stayed the longest in my acedemic life. MY BELOVED SCHOOL!

Wow next best thing is she tell me TNS got webby lor!!! So i woke up today, chiong to repair and setup my lappy. Hahaha... The webby so nice... got the old sch building pic in the flash... (Most of the ex TNS-ians dun like the current setup of the school... COS they ate up the NICE BIG FIELD by building new buildings for expansions. Sigh...) Then again, everything that gotta do with TNS is NICE LOR!!! Dun play play hor... i still rem the sch song k... Dunno other schs also like tat, but last time all our exercise books behind got the sch song in scores and lyrics lor... wanna forget also hard bah...

So i went to see the site, page by page, line by line...

Got school history, its as short as wat we remembered... Tot they would have more info though... but ok... short and sweet and simple...

Got school crest info... got a very strong sense of patriotic feel!

The school motto the best - Sincerity and Perseverance
Dunno is i din know or i forgotten, but now i see liao... sounds power lor... See what they write:




I have never really took much tot in the two words - Sincerity & Perseverance, to me its just being true to your heart and hang on while the tough is going... But today, something really struck me.

Perseverance - Continuance in a state of grace until it is succeeded by a state of glory.

Pretty COOL rite?!!

Then there was the Mission & Vision and the CORE Values... The CORE Values page was another interesting thingie where i think i can pat the school on the wall and say," School... i think you've done a great job, i can see those values in me. ^_^" kekekekeke (Not funny arh? Nvm, i think its funny can liaoz... hehehehe) And on this same page, has a quote which i really dig it!

Labour Day

Wat do you call the day after Labour day?
Ans ... The beginning of a new labouring day!

After slacking from dunno when,
till my trip to taiwan,
till i came back to SG,
till i fell ill and gotten MCs,
till now...

I am completely in no mood for work,
especially when everything is a BIG MESS now.
There will be lotsa wall banging with me head,
and the usual servings of 4 kopi O, 1 kopi O gosong, and plenty of teh si ice will soon hit me like a tsunami wave.

Talking abt it now is something u wont wanna be part of,
but once u are in it
and the momentum is picked up
i think i will love it... so long my heart is there...
I hope me heart is there...
