blur queen stikes again.

i graduated from ACJC in 2005, after taking my A'levels in 2004. when i went to work in 2005, i did not have to apply for the job so i suppose i must have kept my certificates somewhere in my cupboard. recently, i suddenly needed to know my a level results and i started looking for my cert. and of cos, i did not find it.

while i was trying to recall where i put my a level cert, i realize i dun remember how my cert looks like, the colour, the words and so on. then to make things worse, i don't remember collecting my cert!! so my conclusion was-i did not collect my cert. i cant believe i am so blur la.. after 3 years then i realize i did not collect my very important certificate! i'm so going to get scolded by the admin staff..

sweet ruth went to help me ask the acjc office if they might still have my cert and they said yes. so after school today, i went to acjc to collect my cert. went in, squeezed thru the whole mob of acjc students trying to correct their cca records, then asked if i could collect my cert. they asked me to go in, showed me to a row of boxes and asked what class i was from. i felt so embarassed when i told them i was from a long time ago.. hahaha.. ok so she told me to write down my name, class and year i graduated in. it took me almost 10 minutes to recall which year i graduated in.. imagine that.. then i finally remembered and passed the paper to the administrator. she took another 20 to 25 minutes to try to locate my cert.

after waiting for what seemed like an eternity (it really took very long, i was starting to play with the fishes in the fish tank), she came out looking angry: girl, i think you better go and check carefully before you come and make me waste my time ah. i cant find your cert you know.

-silence- i really did not know how to react.. haha i just stared at her like she had some ugly spot on her face, then started asking a range of strange questions.. haha on my way home, i was praying so hard and asking God where i could have placed my cert. cos if i really lost my cert, i'll be in alot of trouble.

so i came home, feeling rather perplexed. then for some strange reason, opened my glass cupboard. lo and behold, the cert just appeared before my eyes.

go figure the rest of the story

i agree with timo

my body has started creating pains with no basis whatsoever. i've this throbbing sharp pain at the back of my head that comes every time i bend slightly forward. the pain comes so often that i am starting to get used to it. horrible. if it does not stop by tomorrow, i may really have to see a doctor.

why on earth do we bother to study Karl Marx and Emile Durkheim and Max Weber? i mean, come on. Max Weber died in a mental hosipital. Marx was an idealist whose ideal would never come true. and Durkheim was just some guy who thought the world was conflict-free, something that will never happen. made me remember what i heard from some sermon - if Christ was a lunatic, then we should not even listen to or believe anything that he said. maybe thats why some people can actually believe that Christ is ONE of the gods, even after Christ said "I am THE way, THE truth and THE life. NO ONE can come to the Father EXCEPT through me." hahaha they must think that Christ is the first Weber. some lunatic who says wise words. hahahahahaha what a crazy world.

was reading ezekiel for quiet time. i know none of you will read it, hahaha so i shall summarize. its just about God trying to clarify what He said long ago about the punishment of sin on future generations because of the sins of the ancestors. the Israelites at that time thought that they were suffering becase of their ancestors' sins and so did not need to repent, but God said that this is not the way to act.

when i first read it, i was confused. haha i did not know how i could apply it in my life, so i walked around the house to let myself digest it. then i looked at my own life. it is true that the mistakes of the ancestors can have disastrous problems for the next generation. my grandparents did not choose to accept Christ and because of that, many of my relatives are afraid to accept Christ because they don't want to offend their ancestors. but my parents chose to accept Christ and i am now enjoying the blessings. i have a strong biblical background, as compared to many of my peers. i have strong family support for my service in Church. i don't swear because i never hear my parents swear. i have a good example to watch when it comes to living a life with Christ.

BUT this does not mean that i am guaranteed to go to heaven! just like what ezekiel said. the soul that sins, dies. no matter what choices the parents make, it does not affect the relationship that the children have with God. if the parents are good, it does not mean that the next generation will surely go to heaven also. so i should not take these blessings for granted. i should build on it instead and live a life that pleases God, so that the blessings can be passed on to my children and my children's children.

but to all those out there reading this, it does not mean that if your parents are not Christians, that you are doomed. if you have chosen to accept Christ, you, too, are blessed and you can choose to live a life that pleases God, so that your children will receive the blessings through you. lets end the vicious cycle and continue the blessing cycle!!
