i guess i miss blogging after a while..
I attended this seminar today organised by Great Eastern called the Internship Programme. They apparently have this programme that trains undergraduate to be in the Financial Assistance Services. I was bit dissappointed as i half expected something that was related to my course of study .. but anyways i stayed till the end.
They had the motivational speaker, Adam Khoo on stage for almost 1.5 hours. Though i cant agree totally with what he presented ,the guy really had something that stood out, he was honest in his speech. I could understand him but sometimes i wonder if he was a religion person and if so, would he be a christian cos he has been 'idolising' with the prospect of money. Though he was right on certain things like fear of failure, i sometimes wonder if we should have the enthusiasm, drive and determination to always achieve high income, high revenue, high profits low cost , low risks... etc..it make life seems to revolve around money too much. and sort of mammon-idolising.

And about setting goals in your lives, every education institution i went to , emphasize a lot on it. In my Secondary school days, we do this like periodically , in Jc we do this each quarter. It is just procratination that stops you at the first step. As much as how goal setting leads to strategy leads to action and this whole process is called success formula, i believe that there is lacking in something that we are suppose to include: God.

It is a little bit delusioning to be sucked into the corporate world wo God and it is easy to do just that. I mean sitting in there for 2 hours, i was taken aback by how much it all made sense to do it all yourself , aptly called entrepreneurship.

If only you have known someone who has plans for you..

what is wrong with people doing surveys ?
haha.. previously i thought that only the mundane and really bored people does that but i think there is a deeper meaning to the surveys conducted and the results that they have.
Take for example the elite school survey which sort of took FB by storm, Some were glad that they belonged to where they came from , some dismissed the surveys altogether and were rather annoyed by the wall posts .
I thought that the survey was just one way of showing school pride, no matter what, the stereotypes of all schools will still remain right? perhaps they always say that YOU CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE might hold to certain extent, but i doubt that will change anything that the school was known for and will be known for.

I quite like my secondary school despite all.

Once a cedarian, Always a Cedarian!

I was talking to a yr 1 friend, and it was quite an interesting conversation. Do i really see myself in labs maybe 10 years down the road? and wads there in my school that is keeping me?

I think my sanity level has just leveled up.

I was walking along the s13 clusters and i just cant help thinking abt tt qn, i mean, this is where i am and where i had studied for the last 1 and 3/4 years.

chemistry chemistry, where art thou interest me? Is it thine bonds or thy atomic strength? could it be that i have fallen for thy mechanisms and selectivities?

haha.. Go ikea buy periodic table.

And what more shall i say to these things...

Every day i learn new things from either things that has happened or past. And i really thank God for seeing me through this past semester. Though it came and went away rather fast, i think looking back , i did somethings which i thought that i will never do in my academic years thus far. haha.. i dun think i have any regrets though , ( which is a good thing) ... erm.. i did add more interesting thing and have plans for a coming exchange too ! wohoo

so , THANKS be to God, cos i stayed in residences, something which i never thought that i will be successful in applying since i have 0 cca points from year1.

and the many nice songs that me and siew ting hummed to: haha.. those jason mraz and colbie -Lucky, taylor swift's love song, etc. wooohoo 987fm disc jockey <3

and the many geo challenges that i try but cant seem to break my own high score and how others easily beat mine within the identifying the flags :(

and the many emotions that my frens shared with me this sem: betrayal, loss, anger, broken relationships , new love, and randomness of the science.. (ya, we are sort of random pple)

and the many chemist frens of fren of frens of frens .. haha.. we all chemist have this bond that soon u will know the whole molecule, opps i mean cohort

Feeling kind of swalllowed by the many lab reports. the reason that i am laughing is not because i am sick or having a fit but because i just submitted ALL , i mean my ALL lab reports! I did 4 lab reports over the last 2 days.. haha.. i guess it is the feeling of ' yay , finally i am out of the whale's belly' !
probably Jonah knows better ! and he went on to change a nation! How amazing the transformation!
* Jonah is a character in the bible who tried to run away on a ship when God tells him to go to a evil and sinful land to preach to them. So the ship crew threw him overboard when there was a storm , knowing that the god is angry. Jonah was then swallowed by a giant fish for forty days and after which he obeyed and preach to the land and changed the lives of many! Read Jonah for more details:D

Can I Change Your Mind About Halloween?

Julie Ferwerda -Crosswalk.com Contributing Writer

If you want to throw a nice wholesome party on Halloween including nice wholesome costumes… hey, why not? What's the harm when your motives (and behaviors) are exemplary? Might even be a good witness. People can observe Christians having good, clean fun especially when churches offer alternative celebrations for their members and community.

That's all what I used to think.

To be honest, I really don't care much about the pagan origins of Halloween in ages past. It's not like most of us are even aware of them, and what do they really have to do with current times? Not exactly a motivating reason to change my lifestyle. But what I have come to care about is what Halloween stands for now, based on a few of my own observations:

In every neighborhood of every town of every state of our country during this celebrated week (and a few other countries as well), you'll find dark, scary decorations. Big hairy spiders in webs, hideous green witches donned in black, skeletons, haunted houses, coffins, bats… nothing is too dark or too evil to display. And don't forget the sweet little kids dressed as Grim Reapers, ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and Freddy Kruegers.

Type "Halloween Crimes News" into Google, and you’ll get 349,000 results. There's a huge influx in alcohol and drug related revelry and crime that police departments far and wide refer to as "pandemonium," requiring increased police reinforcement.^[1]

Many pet shelters do not adopt out any black or white cats during the month of October, and many families keep their pets inside on and around Halloween. Whether or not it's true that Satanists use them for sacrifices (I'm not willing to take a chance with my black cat), it's absolutely a newsworthy fact that there is considerable animal cruelty on and around this holiday.^[2]The dictionary defines "hallowed," from which the word, "Halloween" comes, as holy, consecrated, sacred, revered.^[3] In my mind, that opens up the question, "Who is being worshiped and revered on Halloween?" On the Satanic Calendar, Halloween is one of the most significant nights of the year when "attempts are made to break the bond which is keeping the doors to the underworld closed." Sexual rituals are performed in association with demons and blood sacrifices called, "The Blood Feast of the Dead." Both human and animal sacrifices are included, with the focus placed on children ages seven to eighteen.^[4]

In college I heard an ex-Satanist tell a story so horrible, it became the deciding factor for me. In his account, the FBI had hired him to help them investigate a case during Halloween involving several child abductions and murders involving the worst of tortures such as group rape, and then being hung and burned on a cross. One little victim was an adorable girl of only eight.

It was then I realized that, even if I could somehow rationalize participating in this dark holiday promoting intoxicated revelry, overt evil, and pet cruelty, albeit under the guise of "innocent celebration," I could not rationalize participating in a holiday that at any level victimized children.

Consider these verses…

“What fellowship can light have with darkness? Therefore come out from them and be separate,” says the Lord. 2 Corinthians 6:14, 17

Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Romans 12:2

Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, rebuke and expose them. Ephesians 5:11

So do not act like the people in Egypt, where you used to live, or like the people of Canaan, where I am taking you. You must not imitate their way of life. Leviticus 18:3

When the LORD your God destroys the nations...do not be trapped into following their example in worshiping their gods…These nations have committed many detestable acts that the Lord hates, all in the name of their gods. They have even burned their sons and daughters as sacrifices to their gods. Deuteronomy 12:29-31 (selected)

In her guest appearance on Christian Family Radio, author, occult researcher, and producer of the video, Halloween: Trick or Treat, Caryl Matrisciana shared her views. "…[Halloween] is a time that there are sacrifices. My question is, if we know that this is a holiday of vandalism, death, cruelty, abductions, poison, mayhem, why do we as Christians celebrate this kind of a holiday?"^[5]

I think Caryl is right. As Christians let's truly set a good example for the world by taking to heart the present realities of this day, pray against the forces of evil, and stop paying homage to Satan and his followers.

So what do men say that i am?

Take up your cross and follow me..

Shout to the Lord, All the earth let us sing...
