Hey hey! I went to watch the free movie, "bounty hunter" on the mon at the cathay's 75th anniversary and there is like free popcorn and drink!
Anws, there is this sentence that caught my attention in the movie.
One of the old couple who owned the honey moon place told the divorse couple who ended up at their honey moon place once again, they remembered them even after a few years with many other couples spending their honey moons in that place.
The divorsed couple were very suprised that they actually rmbed them and the old couple said, " we rmbed you because you two were the sweetest and most in loved couple we have ever seen. One thing that we have ever learnt from you two is that you taught us that true love is when both parties are willing to love and accept even the flaws and imperfections that both have, thats what will keep the relationship going."
I guess these words touched me, and i really think that true love should be this way.
Be it in any kind of relationship, friends or family members, it is when we all are able to accept and love the person despite their flaws can we say that we love the person.
I know of one person that loves me despite my imperfections and flaws and the best thing is that the person is perfect and there is no reason for him to tolerate my sins because he is not like me in any way because the contrast is just too big, cannot even be measured.
That person is Jesus.
This my friend, is true love.
Have a great day!
God loves people who are dirty^^Don't you think its beautiful?

Position
I was talking to Kun Jie the other day, and he shared with me something that i thought was rather interesting and i thought maybe i should share it with anyone who is reading this.
We were talking about alot of things, from saying grace to how to listen to God to cells and RLs..etc.
One of the things he said was, alot of people can say and pray, "Oh God, people touch me and speak to me, mould me to be more like you and let me experience you." like everytime, or maybe every sun during service or while singing the worship songs..but many do not do anything about it.
Alot of times we only give lip service to God but we never POSITION ourselves to let God use us.
The word here is POSITION.
To help people to visualise, lets just say your friend was supposed to meet you and was calling you from behind you can choose to turn behind and get a clearer view and hear your friend more clearly, or you can choose to walk further away, facing away from your friend.
Even though this may sound very childish but this is the point i am trying to make.
Your friend is God and many of times, we fail to put ourselves in places where God can use us and we can experience God's power.
Some may say, "oh, but God is everywhere what, not only in church or cells ma..so i also can experience God anywhere i go."
I would say, "Yes true."
But i believe in every relationship it is two way.
You got to put in effort and God will too.
And it is only in church whereby you can find people who will pray for you..it is a place where people who wants to invite God's presence to be there, it is a place of fellowship.
All these are so unlike what you can find from the world.
By coming to church, one is positioning themself to want to meet and experience God together with others. where testimonies are shared and people edify each other.
Along with just coming to church which not really of much effort and sacrifice, there is also a need to serve if one is serious about experiencing God.
Serving helps us to position ourselves to meet God.
Through serving, i believe firstly, God is pleased that you are willing to sacrifice your time and effort to sow the seeds.
Secondly, there will be obstacles and struggles or even brokeness, causing God to aveil and work through you.
Thirdly, it is for the kingdom of God! Why wouldn't God work through those who are willing to serve him for the sake of his children right?
But of course one must do it with a willing heart. If you do it unwillingly, then you are not even letting yourself to be used by God but to do things for the sake of doing things.
For those who are not serving (which includes myself), why not try stepping into the will of God and see how God can show himself to you?
For those who are serving, lets do it because you want to experience God and do it with a willing heart ya!
Joey's blog once said, "we plant the seeds, not pluck the fruits."
If you really want to experience God today, stop living in self pity and discouragement, but to stand up and fight for what you want! don't sit there and do nothing!
God loves you.

Predators--->Fear--->Death
Yesterday i went to watch predators with kun jie and bradley!!
It was a very interesting and scary show i feel...like cause it is M18, it has alot of bloodshed and violence.
I was basically covering half of my face with my jacket half of the time because there were alot of anticipation.
The show had 8 people in some unknown island away from earth at first.
At every attack and experience, someone will die in different ways.
I shan't tell you all the whole story..but it is a show worth to watch..so go watch it~
One thing that the show showed me was something very practical and got me thinking over one question.
The question is "when you face the risk of death and fear, will one still care for others or just care about themselves?"
Perhaps you cannot picture the seriousness of this question because most of us have not experienced before.
The show helped me catch a glimpse of it.
When there were only 6 people left, the people who cared for themselves more and the people who will risk their life to save people showed very clearly.
The only major difference between the predators and human beings, not counting the size and the looks is that human beings have a heart. They have feelings.
And the predators see it as a weakness, attacking their weakness.
They used human being(one of the 8) that are dying as bait to attract the other human beings to rescue them and get into their trap.
They used booby traps to make one of the 8 not being able to walk so as to pull the team down.
Only because the predators understood the crux of the weakness, human beings have feelings and will try their best to save people who are still alive, not to watch them or leave them to die.
There were 2 most distinct scenes, the scene whereby the doctor (one of the 8) got lost from the rest and was panicking and scared.
Because the predators were able to turn invisible, he had to keep throwing smoke sticks to see whether there were any predator around.
When he finally located the rest, they were seperated by a metal door that was slightly torn open.
So he screamed for help!
the rest didn't bother saving him because they may get killed.
But when he was going to get killed, one of the guys, a russian came and shoot the alien. saving him but directed the alien's attention to him instead.
At the end, when he was injured, looking at the doctor for help, the doctor decided to run away, leaving him behind.
At the end, after the alien's knife pierced through his body, he managed to defuse a bomb on himself and killed the alien with it.
The next scene was when the doctor had his leg trapped in a booby trap and he couldn't walk.
The remaining people could have just let him there.
one wanted to go, the other wanted to stay and help him.
The conversation between the girl and guy was, the guy said, "we have got to move, this wasn't meant to kill him, it was meant to injure him so as to slow us down because they know that we will do the very humanly thing, to have feelings." the girl just said, "then what are you?'
Alot of times, we live in peace and comfort, we may not get to experience being in danger, maybe forsaking and risking your life for someone else, maybe just running away to protect yourself and prevent yourself from losing your life.
The thought fear of death and pain is so tremendous that selfishness may take root.
It got me thinking about the Christians in other countries, or even in the end times when martedum (i think i spell wrongly), which means getting killed because they stood up for Christ, Getting killed and tortured just because they are Christians.
I think it is every human being's nature or you can say every creation's nature to protect and
care for themselves.
Its not wrong.
But what makes us not be selfish is because we got a heart. We've got feelings and love.
Thats whats so special and it is the key to unlocking human selfishness, to care for others rather than themselves.
I just think it is amazing and worth to be learnt as to how much people love God, with such intimate relationship with Him that they don't even mind dying, giving up their life for the sake of the name of Christ.
One example is Paul in the Bible..he once said, "To live is Christ, to die is gain"
Lets work for this degree of love for Christ that death will not be of any fear, but of a joy.
Its not easy at all..i don't think i can do it.
But lets give it a shot!
God bless you=)
