Boo!

Caught these cats fighting on top of somebody's car today. It was such a sight that I had to take a shot with my phone's camera.

We're coming

You'll be seeing more of us soon. Well, I'm not in this picture, but I'm there. We've got plans.. great big plans. So I'll keep you all updated in time.

Right or Wrong

Who is right? Who is wrong?
Simple, match it up to Absolute Truth.

Just a short and sweet post this time. I'm hoping that the next post would be full of pictures instead.

Strategies

I used to love doing track, despite having the speed of a snail and the strength of a block of tofu. I never was successful in track but it didn't stop me from having a go once in a while. I used to think that a 100 meter dash was all about running with all your might, but I learned that despite the race starting and ending in a flash (15-odd seconds for people like me), strategies are applied - even to the micro level - which influences the outcome of your run: how you start, how you run, and of course - how you finish.

I think there are situations in life where you have to strategise. How you start, how you run, and how you finish. Life itself is one of the situations that requires nothing short of a grand strategy in order to succeed. Friendships and relationships definitely need your devotion to develop strategies that make friendships and relationships work. How about your finances? Your business? Career?

Lots to think about, huh?

Disconnect

I suddenly realised how dependant I am on technology.

My dad deactivated my family's mobile network subscription last night as he found the bills to be exorbitant with all the extra charges coming in even though we don't use those features. So for a part of the night, I couldn't make any calls or send out any messages. I felt pretty disconnected without that even though the phone was still physically in my hands. To think that someone would either attempt to give me a call or send me a message and for any of those to not reach me... well... you get what I mean.

I got home that night and found some spanking new SIM cards on the table - one of which belongs to me. I swapped out the SIM cards - and true enough - I received a few messages during the few hours I was out of phone communication. Lots of missed calls, and one or two "bro, I'm downstairs, please open the door" messages.

For those who know me, I am no longer with Maxis. I'm with DiGi now. My phone number remains the same.

Gamer girl

Let's all relax from the slew of serious and thought provoking posts, and allow me to give you a whimsical one for a change.

I have been looking back at some of these old "interview" tagging games I did in the past on Facebook. One particular question that I found interesting was this one:

46. Computer games geek? Or internet freak?

Now, my response was that I wouldn't mind a gamer, but not a games geek. Same goes with the Internet. Someone who does go online, but is not an Internet junkie.

Basically, doing any of those in moderation. I mean, which gamer wouldn't mind a PS3 or a PSP or a Wii session together once in a while? That does sound pretty romantic, ya know? Sitting together on the couch, playing games on the console, and taking the challenge to physical levels (don't get me wrong, I meant stuff like trying to distract each other from playing) in order to win.. And all the ensuing laughter... Hey, don't tell me that doesn't sound anything like a great time spent together.

And apart from the initial bomb you pay for buying the console and the games, in the long run, it could be cheaper than going out all the time, don't you think? To me, dates can also be done at home. She and I can start by playing games. After which we would cook up dinner. Following that, we can have a nice quiet meal together, and then the loser from the gaming session has to wash the dishes and do the cleaning - while the winner does the drying and stores the cutlery and crockery. Fair trade?

Sounds pretty fun. Maybe I should get myself a PSP in anticipation of doing stuff like that. =P

Hear me out.
I may be heartless.
I may not understand.
But put aside all your emotion and reasoning, seek wisdom, and take a critical look at the situation.

Growing is a choice. We may physically age, but our inner man chooses if we should grow.
People who walk into a church tend to leave because there is nothing for them.
The older ones leave because there is nothing for them.
Unity is important, but placing this cause above our Higher Cause is unhealthy.
Christian living is more than just being saved and living righteously. Christian living is also about putting aside our personal gain for the Higher Cause.
Therefore, cast aside our selfish thoughts and move forward.
This separation is not permanent. This separation is not meant for harm. This separation is a pruning process. Pruning hurts, but it allows for greater growth.
We are not judges. Quit judging our leaders and give them the honour that is due to them. Do you think it is easy to be a leader? Ask them how it feels. They will agree that leaders must make the right decisions though they be unpopular decisions. If there is wrong in the decision or even in the execution of the decision, who are you to judge? What if their decision was right? What if their execution of the decision was the right thing to do? It is for our gain! We totally have nothing to lose.
Stop hanging on to the past. Past successes are good. Past successes are evidence of God's greatness, but we must not dwell on past successes because it is not how we progress. We must always look forward to greater heights and push for greater success.

If anyone of you does not understand any of the statements I have made, or if you wish to challenge any of the statements I made, come and talk to me.
