It is that time of the year again where the pumpkins become evil and lighted up for the week. It is the time of the year where people come together to celebrate something that is slightly weird if you really wonder what is the true meaning behind it all. The time of the year called 'Halloween'
AND in HK, they do it differently on a fright scale much higher than Sgp.
MInus the pumpkins, throw in chinese paper dolls , throw in some yello papers looking inscense and paint red paint on black trash bags everywhere. I think u have the perfect scary scene.
And tt is what my hall is up to.
Fortunately , i am not going to be part of this. I do not really support the notion behind halloween because it could be the devil's play or ploy in getting attention in this world. Even if you do not believe in a Heaven , surely you believe that the devil has horns and carries a fork with a red eye grin.  So how hard can it be to make pple believe that there is really a battle in this world between devil and a God.

i went shen zhen just last weekend and it was really cheap stuff there!
Like everything was really china price!
and i tried a spa massage and facial for the first time in my life! haha.. so cool right ?!
Queens spa, not as dodgy as i thought but the bad thing was that they allowed smokers to smoke inside and even though there were non-smoking zones, the air lingers there too, and i er , really cant stand smoke as i it would make my eye tear.. for some reason which i cant explain.

I do not know what lies ahead, the way i cannot see..
so let's do something within our means to make singapore a better place for ALL,
regardless of race , language and religion.

i saw this the other day at central, HK.
i think we should stop buying into devil's lies and really seek the truth for ourselves

cheers ,

i was at clearwaterbay international baptist church and the reading today was on Jonah 4.
It really spoke to me about anger. Seething anger are the grounds which the devil works up the person to do evil, to turn himself against God, to be angry enough to die, to turn from a preacher of repentence to one which hates the salvation of those He saved, cf, Jonah.

Jonah was really a amazing childhood story of how God showed His mercy, when we tell it to the kids. The runway, the stowaway, the belly survivor, the greatest preacher whom God used to save the whole city of Nineveh. But today was the first time i read the last chapter of Jonah, and puzzled to why he was mad, burning with rage at God , running ( as usual ) and hiding ( his usual best) from the God who sent him. He was just angry enough to die. And as a 3rd party, when someone ask the person, Do you do well to be angry, and the reply came ' Yes, angry enough to die' , i was amazed at how sometimes we are like Jonah. On one hand, we can preach the way we want to be like Christ, on the other hand we are not trying to practice the things that conform us to be like Christ. Romans 8:28-29.

It was also just this week that i concluded that people are volcanoes, some are dormant, some are active but the most scary ones are the sleeping ones, you never know. And the worst thing was that i think i judged myself as the sleeping kind of volcanoe. :S
It was a great reminder for me. To be like Jonah, to know that the Lord is merciful even unto the people who cannot tell their right hand from their left.

Acts of God

In Hk, whenever there is a typhoon signal out and taxi drivers are still roaming the streets, they are not insured, as these are all considered acts of God. And these few days, there are just so many tsuinamis, typhoons, tropical rainfalls , earthquakes in indonesia, america and some say singapore. Perhaps, these are really signs of the end times but that will be another topic for another day.

It is just so depressing to hear about such news and even more depressing that the search party has been called off as there is no hope for survivors. Maybe it is a numbing feeling that after the world has seen the thailand tsuinami on 26 Dec few years back, they sort of knew that such incidents are mostly unpredictable and //not worth much effort// in saving but more on the // where do we go from here // kind of mentality.

It is even more depressing that the top story on the msn.com was Tay is ready for wedding . ( Jac Tay ) . I mean ok, this is so entertainment but there needs to be more concern for the world right now , in Samoa , in Indonesia, in Taiwan in Philippines..


Pray for these people :) Pray for the Media , Pray for the world at Large.
