- Religon
- Life's Principles
- One Litre of Tears
Well, I attended a church service yesterday to City Harvest Church which is more of a charismatic church. My first impression of it really is the fact that it is a charismatic one. Ok though it sounds dumb but yes due to the emphasis on the "showmanship" Afterall, they focus more on singing phrases about God and giving lots of thanks to god. But this new experience has got be thinking, isn't it all the same. What makes Christanity so different from the other religions? Everyone gives thanks to their God, their teachings are more or less similar to follow the right path and not to do evil deeds like killing, stealing etc - the social problems. From a marketing perpective of things it really does seem that people long ago wanted to create loyalty to each religion so they sang praises for people to remember and pass it on forever. Yet, I truly believe the essence of a religion is its teachings and not the praising and singing. Indeed for such a shallow person like me trying to sound profound comes as a surprise to some of you but haven't you sat down and thought about why you go to Sunday school? Why you go to temples to pray? Indeed though your heart follows, do you know why? You may give some profound reason to me or anyone else but one thing is for sure, its your heart that you have to convince after all religion is a personal conviction not anyone else's. Indeed, it is important to keep yourself focused and not lose yourself in the heat of friends, family and other factors but yourself. I never had the chance to do so coming from a Buddhist family yet i realised the need to respect every religion for its teachings and the scarifices the buddha, christ and all other religious leaders have made. Forgive me for my rude use of my language for I'm just a lowly commner. At the end of the day it is important to find yourself a root or set of principles that you can abide by.
I'm hitting the hour mark as I begin on the second thing that's on my mind now. All my short life existence this far has been revolved around one philosophy which is treat others the way you want them to treat you. The golden rule. Yet how many times have I gotten hurt at the end when I feel it is for the greater good? Indeed, such an idea would only be good in a ideal world but yet I still feel unchanged by this philosophy in life as I think life's worthwhile and without regret only when you know you've dig in deep and lead life the way you want it to be without harming others. However recently due to the massive influence of the j dramas and experiencial learning in religion I feel that life isn't just about one's self but how one affects the other people around him. I realised another important aspect of self fulfilment would be to enrich the lives of other people. Indeed, saying this is a big statement which i myself haven't gotten through yet. But indeed its not about self anymore but also about the people around me whom i know and not know. To be more compassionate to the people around you and to treat everyone as equals i guess. Isn't that what life is about?
Lastly would be this drama serial I've been watching. Been watching till the fourth episode and its really very good its called - One Litre of Tears. An adapted true life story about a girl who contracts spinocerebellar atrophy a horrible disease that destorys the mechanical and physical nervous system as time progress through the atrophy of the cellubrum and the spinal cord. Yet the girl who is just fifteen faces the adversity with courage and lives her life to the fullest till the very. Indeed the show does tug many strings in my heart but yet so many lessons can be learnt which has changed certain perceptions in my life.
Afterall life is about living, live it!

What i;m studying about... Well, can't say I like everything completely but i think i'm starting to like marketing seriously. Its pretty interesting I would say and gives me a lot of perceptions to different things like how companies now market themselves above the noise. Maybe its really something I wanna do in future. Sigh Its raining cats and dogs outside finally. I just wondering why the heck have i not gotten over the fact about SSU. The possible life it robbed me. But thats just all hypothesis. Whats affecting me is whether should i still be acquaintances with my old exco. Ppl who should be burned on a stake, thrown screaming from a helicopter from the sky or mothers should have other plans such as abortion. Got a little carried away there. But yeah the hate is still there the pain is still there..... Backstab is indeed a painful thing something which even time may not heal. Some of you may think its childish but hey what you expect me to do? Get on with life yes i've done it but I just can forgive them. Freakin hypocrites. If there's anyone I would like to bang yes hypocrites are the number one people I would love to bang.
Indeed where has my direction in school gone?? Honestly I don't know everyday is just a normal day go to sch meeting training tuition go home. What else can i do build my cv? Thats the conclusion my friends came up: Carey needs a girlfriend. Thats another topic that has a sad history if you guys were to think hahahah... Nvr succeeded don't think i ever will. Sigh.... Life sucks....

Been in a pensive mood recently, thinking abt practically everything and anything.... As we speak i'm actually ty[ing in bed haaahhaaaa.... I was thinking about all the gals I've liked so far... Sigh, I practically like half this world... But that special someone hasn't arrived for me it seems and i guess the wait continues.... Am i too picky or do i screw it all up together... Things don't seem to make sense sometimes... life i agree isn't just about gf but i was wondering how it owuld be like to share everything in your world with someone... I'm an idealist i guess. I must get what i want if not i'll be terribly devastated... Just like what happened in the SSU elections. Still can't let go of that at all. Still pissed with my exco. I hate them... That fire still burns inside of me in hope that they will all burn in hell and die..... Emotions really complete human beings i guess.. Fury makes it the perfect weapon. I really wonder why humans are born with just feelings: lust, fury, anger, jealousy all these negative feelings fuel the war in this world be it big or small. Yet to let go would be something to difficult where pride comes in.
I really wonder why people feel lost at times like how i am now... I feel like i'm in some sort of a mid life crisis where i don't know what to do or where to go... Why is it i'm thinking of something yet nothing at the same time? That truly is a question which i have no answer to myself. Its just this feeling that i'm really lost? Louis is that how you feel at times? Lost indeed is are great nickname i think... Humans are always lost in this world. It feels as though that one word really is somethign so great and powerful. Just that one word. Lost.
