We're Hollanders!

After months of searching, we finally got a flat! A 4-room unit at our dream location, Holland Village! More details are on my diary of a bride-to-be blog.....yay! we're gonna be Hollanders!

New Furnitures!

Yesterday my uncle and aunt delivered some furnitures to my home. They're shifting house so they gave my family their sofa (a 3 seated + 1 single seater) and a bookshelf cum display cabinet. So after work, I went home with Hun to do some major furniture re-org!

My room now has a new look! The computer table was shifted out, replacing the shelf that was holding our fax machine and telephone. And that shelf was replacing another small shelf near my kitchen entrance.

My study table was shifted further right from where it used to be. It's now next to my wardrobe, leaving enough space for the wardrobe doors to be opened. The new bookshelf is assembled in my room, to the left of my study table.

My full length mirror, which was to the right of my study table was shifted across my bedroom and placed beside my small shelf that was next to the TV. Now my mirror is finally nearer to the light!!

My bed has to be rotated 90 degrees so instead of facing the TV, I'm now facing the door or the window...now watching TV can pose a bit of problem cos I can no longet lie down and watch...sigh....

But already I'm having ideas of how to spruce up my room. I wanna a lamp to put at the small space beside the new book shelf. And I hope to buy wooden blinds for my windows. Then when I turn on the wall lamp and this together, my room will have a very cosy country feel! Yeah!

New furnitures, new tv, new digital SCV set-top box...I'm all set for the CNY! And mom has bought me 2 new dresses for the new year too! yeah :)

And of course, I won't forget to mention the huge study table my uncle and aunt has blessed me and Hun! And this table is so special because it's our very first piece of furniture. If it's so big, that means we have to have a big enough house with a big enough study room to put the shelf in! So excited to finding out the unit God has planned for me!

I'm so gonna have a blessed Chinese New Year!

Attacked! But we're conquerors!

Due to the extreme busyness and lack of proper rest since 19 Dec 2006, I fell ill last week. Hun's down this week too. He was sick in bed on sat, and was having stomach upset since sunday till today....it's been like 5 or 6 days. Seen the doctor once and was given some medication to stop his diarrhoea and also some good bacteria to fight the germs in his tummy. But he's still having those churning feeling in his stomach...so poor thing!

Tink we're being attacked...the evil one is really trying to get us down! Cos we're both feeling the heightened stress about our wedding preps. We're less than 4 months away from the wedding and haven't found a flat yet! But we continue to trust in Him to provide a place for us. Thank God for placing my uncle who's a housing agent. It really helps to have him to advise and guide us. At the very least, we're both assured that his motivating factor is not to gain monetarily out of us! It was very nice and comfortable viewing with him as he gives genuine advise on whether the price quoted was really worth it or not....dun tink you get that from other housing agents cos afterall, they wanna earn your money.

Still I think we're very blessed :) And I thank God for the entire wedding preparation experience! I truly enjoyed my photoshoots very much...it felt so romantic...taking our wedding pictures as a couple...how to describe it? Tink only those who've gone through it will know what I'm feeling :) Sweet!

Although it's really stressful, I can't wait for the day to come...it's a strange feeling...haha...on the one hand I can't waith for 5 May to come...on the other hand, I think everything is happening too soon...hmm...well...I dunno. tink I'm just getting really excited about this whole wedding prep thing!

Whee!

I'm back...for awhile

Yes...it's been some weeks since my last entry....what have I been busy with? Let's see now..

18 Dec 06: Trial make-up & going to the tailor for making Hun's suit.
19 - 23 Dec 06: The CLOWN musical
24 - 26 Dec 06: Christmas Holidays
27 - 29 Dec 06: Back to Work...and busy with my D&D stuffs
30 Dec 06 - 2 Jan 07: Worship Practice, Watch Night Service, Shopping & Amore Spa
3 - 5 Jan 07: Back to Work again...and even busier with D&D stuffs

Don't feel that I've had a good break at all...busy with all areas of my life at the same time. 15th Jan's the photoshoots and I'm excited and stressed at the same time...then there's the housing issue. Don't think I'll get any less busy till my wedding is over!

And yes...I'm getting married THIS YEAR!!! It's THIS YEAR!! No longer next year....I have been looking forward to it for so long....but suddenly, it's like it's happening too fast...

K, gotta stop here and get back to work....dunno when will be the next time I have time for blogging...haha...

Interesting Argument

Here's another forwarded email Hun sent to me....pretty interesting argument. I wonder if this is a real account? Cos if it is, it's really wisdom from above to be able to give such a good arguement on the spot! Whatever it is, enjoy!

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?

(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?

Student does not answer.

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?

Student has no answer.

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes. Student: No sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absenceof it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & God is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.
