Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion.
Impossible is not a declaration. It's an ease.

"You are the light of the world--like a city on a mountain, glowing in the night for all to see. Don't hide your light under a basket! Instead, put it on a stand and let it shine for all. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father." Taken from the BIBLE Matthew 5:14-16

Recently, I found out that another of my lecturer is a christian too. This make two, two of my lecturer are christian.

All of us come from different background, different interest, different likings. Yet we all are shining our little light in our own different areas, no matter light or dim, we are all different, different from the world.

Short story of alonely guy part 2...

This is a short story of alonely guy part 2...

"I got her reply, she read it! She read how I feel!

BUT

not a good new, hope is dim, don't know what's ahead of me and her. Her reply seems like she does not suit me. Somebody else is better than her, why must be her that I like.

Well, something are unchangeable, it's just like if a child like to play lego no matter how people use other toys to attract him, in the end he will still go back to his favorite. Feelings just develops over time, you can't really control how much you want to feel because men are made to have emotions.

And now my feelings are towards her, I can't change that unless I'm not gona see her for the next 5 years!

Well, from what I understand, there is never such things about who is best for who. God don't intend that to happened. God surely know who He match me with, but it's never the best for if it's the best, than to God best must be perfect. I believe, God put two person together so they can learn from one another for His word saids as iron sharpen iron, men sharpen men. Two person being together is a process to learn to be like Him, learn for one another.

If God intend who is best for who, than, if someone get married and the wife or husband pass away first. And the person remarried, that means that the person is taking away the best of another person from him or her, and then it will go on and on, in the end it will contradict to what God had intend about who is best for who.

I believe God works this way, honor Him first before your relationship between you and a gal or a guy, God will bless that relationship.

Well, talk about my situation now, the best thing to do is still...
WAIT...!"

And again, this is just a short story...

A short story of alonely guy.

This is a short story...

"These are my thoughts written down on paper, It's my only savior, From not saying what I want to say,These are the thoughts that are on my mind, Moments that haven't yet been defined, And I don't know if you could ever understand,These are the things I can't say when were alone."
New Found Glory - Truth of my youth

" What! She is holding hands with him! I don't even know that they are together! What's going on? I must ask her about it. I have not express to her about my feelings yet, and now she is holding somebody's hands." This thought spins in my mind. I went home, take out my handphone and message her to find out what's going on. I wait... waiting for her to reply... I'm so nervous and worried about her answer, prepare to get disappointed... I hold on tight to my handphone.

Suddenly, it's 12am, I look at the clock, it was blurred. I realize, it was just a dream, a dream of someone I like went away with someone. I saw this card, I read it.

"hello j****... : )

So, how? gettin along betta n betta wit *******? I hope so... : ) !"

I know her for about 2 years, she caught my eyes when the first time I saw her. Friendly, cheerful, cute, I like the way she smile. We talk a lot when we first met, seems like old friends. I got a very good impression of her. Did not saw her much since then. Until one time...

My friend wanted to form a band. He ask me to be the drummer. Cool... Get to play in a band, wondering who will be my team mates. Heard she plays too, wondering will we be in the same band.

Hey, she is there sitting at a corner, with my friend and a few who are approach by my friend about this band. Cool, we get to be in the same band. I'm glad, at least we get to work together, I can get to know her more. My friend introduced everyone to everyone. I told my friend, I know her, we met before.

Since then, we have been playing as a band for about 1 years. I did knew more about her, the way she thinks, her interest. I realize I like her, she is my kind of girl, I want to get together with her, I prayed to God and I waited, it really trained my patience.

I admit, I'm very unfocused, always looking around at girls, trying to know more girls. But, she is special, I mean it, she is very different from those girls I know. She is independent, know what she wants in her life and will go for it. Small, but with big vision. This is something I admire her for. Never give up to odds.

I still likes her, my feeling never change, it's growing more and more. But, I still don't dare to express my feelings to her, scared to be disappointed, it's good to stay as friend, but I want more than that. So, the only thing that I can do is wait, wait for sign, mood, place, time... I don't know. What I can do is just wait, by faith, my God will do something. Hope she somehow will read this short story and know how I feels."

This is a short story of alonely guy...

but u see you are taking that those as standard,singlish or disortion is because of the experience you have, the education system tells you so... in the end its still yr experience with the education system that tell us what it means... it still comes down to experience with the words...

Its not that hard to make that choice at all...

"Why be like the pagans who are so deeply concerned about these things? Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs, and he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern."
Taken from the BIBLE Matthew 6:32-33

I currently got this school project in hand. I'm suppose to do a CIS (cooperate Identity System) for any company or organization. A CIS coincides of a logo, letterhead, envelope, memo slip, business card. Then, coincidently, there is this logo design competition happening at the same time. Top prize is $1000.

It's a good chance to earn some cash and also can use it for school project. So, I thinking of doing this for the competition. But, in the same time I already got this logo in process for my church children ministry. It is also a good chance to enhance on the logo and the children ministry can also have a CIS.

It's really a obvious but hard choice for me. So, I decided to show my lecturer both logo design, see what he have to say.

I was shock with his answer. I think I'll never again hear this from any lecturer. He tell me since God had give me this talent of design, I should use this talent to groovy Him. Although the competition is attractive but God is still the ultimate ruler of all things, a 1000 buck to God is nothing. If I glorify God, He will bless me back.

My lecturer is a CHRISTIAN.

What he told me really inspire me. So, I decided to choose the obvious choice. Actually its not that hard to make that choice at all...

Graphical Pronunciation Emphasis Theory

Recently, I am doing a little research on letters and words. Which is commonly call typography. Typography, a study on letter, word, the shape of it the negative space and positive space a letter carry. But, my studies on letters and words, is going to beyond the meaning typography, pushing the boundary of it. Letters and words is more than just shapes and spaces.

Have you ever wondered, how you actually can recognize a Japan speaking Japan, or a Malaysian speaking Malay, or even someone speaking French, Latin and Spanish, although you may not know how to speak their language and yet you still can somehow recognize it.

I believe letters and words not only provide visual, it also provide sound in it. The way u pronounce a word.Due to the tones and pitch a person use on a language, we who don't know the language, will somehow roughly base on the sound of the pronunciation to know what language the person is speaking.When we talk to one another, we somehow tend to recognize the sound first before our mind start to recognize what word is that.For example, the word "friend".

Try to pronounce it! Try it a few times...You will realize that the emphasis of the pronunciation is at "FRI" then "END" is abit softer, in a musical sense, like a ghost note. But if u do it the opposite way, it sounds weird, not natural, it just don't flow.

I intend to combine this words pronunciation phenomenal into typography. Let a letter not only have shapes and space, and also have a emphasis graphically on the pronunciation.

Normally, when u read a word, you can recognize a word because of the shape it carries, the space it occupy. If you don't believe me, try it yourself!Simply jus write any word, or ask someone to write a word, ask that someone to carry half of that word. And you read it, most likely, 99%; you will recognize that word even half of it was covered.

So, by graphically show the pronunciation emphasis of a word. The word not only have shapes and space it also tell a person how to read it. I believe in a way, it will help a person to read more efficiently. This will work best on signs; it will make the signs look more convincing in pasting the message across.

My theory have not really been proven practically, I'm working my way towards it. Finding the right balance between the shapes/space and graphic emphasis. But, I believe it somehow will work out well. I still need to do more research on the pronunciation of words and do graphic tests and surveys.

I greatly appreciate those who had done my first, which I so call "GPE"(graphical pronunciation emphasis) theory survey. Look forward for your contribution in the future. Your respond is very important.

My 1st report on "Graphical Pronunciation Emphasis" theory.

feeding back to tttt upon my post "Since the day of the ancient Olympic..."

Yo, feeding back to tttt upon my post "Since the day of the ancient Olympic..."

In short, what I'm trying to said is, next time do take a look at those who are not winning the game, at least as a appreciation of their effort. Not just look at those who are leading or winning. I think those who did not get the medal are more noble, without them, there are never such things as who is better.

May be it's my last paragraph that cause a misunderstanding of what I'm trying to said.

Since the day of the ancient Olympic... (Rephrase)

I was watching the Olympic just now. It was the men swimming event. While I was watching some thoughts came to my mind.

I think, for a sportman, to be taking part in Olympic, he will be very proud of himself. To win a medal, his family will be very proud of him and to win a gold medal, his country or even the world will be very proud of him.

Whenever, the shot is call, the race begin. Our attention, the world attention, will be on the few who are leading. When the race end, the fastest will be announce and all the participants' time record will be shown, every eyes in the world will be looking at the first few names, top three, some hoping that that their country names will appear there, some just wana know who got the medals.

What about the rest? I mean the beside the top three, what about the other sportmen who took part in the same event as the top three medalists. Are the rest just be there to provide a contrast with the medalists, so to make them look even better. Or, are they there to just fill in the empty lanes, so to make the whole event look more crowded more life. Or even worst, they are there to provide entertainment while the highlights are the medalists.

Somehow, I feel pity for this sportmen who feel so proud of themselves to be in Olympic for their country but in the end being curse by this unspoken rule since the day of the ancient Olympic. The loser will be insulted, while the winner will be honored.

Next time do take a look at those who are not winning the game, at least, as a appreciation of their effort.

It is more important to obey your parents...

"Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do"
Taken from the BIBLE, Ephesians 6:1

Sometime I'm really worry for those first generation Christians in my church. First generation mean they are the only Christian in the family, their parent are not.

Some of their parents are open-minded to the gospel, which is good. But some of their parents are hard-core believers of their religious and some just simply reject the gospel because they don't understand and don't want to understand.

Some hard-core religious parents have this mind-set that, if their children become Christian, they will some how lost away their children. They will think that when they die their children will not be there for them, in some way it's a disrespect to them. So, by preventing this to happen, they stop their children from going to church.

Stopping their children from going to church, is a kind of struggle to this first generation Christians. So, sometime, thinking that their parents are very unreasonable. They decide to rebel against them, coming to church by lying to their parents. Then, when their parents found out, they parents will scold them and they will some how speak against their parents and it goes on and on. Finally out come will be, their parents having a misunderstanding of what church is, thinking that its a kind of cult, making their children so obsess with it.

For this is what the BIBLE said...
"You children must always obey your parents, for this is what pleases the Lord..."
Colossians 3:20

and somebody ask something like this...

"Explain why children should submit to their parents' decisions even when those decisions are clearly evil." Taken from http://www.themodernreligion.com/comparative/Christ/Bible_questionair2.htm

This person asking this question must be a orphan, I guess. How many parents on this earth will force their children to evil decisions. I believe all parents love their children. Unless, the children are not really their children, it may be a different story. Or maybe their children are really that stubborn and rebellious out of their control then they have no other chose but to disipline them. In the end, its still out of love.

"Suppose a man has a stubborn, rebellious son who will not obey his father or mother, even though they discipline him. In such cases, the father and mother must take the son before the leaders of the town. They must declare: `This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious and refuses to obey. He is a worthless drunkard.' Then all the men of the town must stone him to death." Deuteronomy 21:18-20

I hope, those first generation Christian will somehow realize that, its important to come to church but it is more important to obey their parents...

Shine - A Short Story by tttt

Take a look...

Hope it will remind you your innocence childhood...

A dialogue between me and a Wind-Water teller...

Just an hour ago...

I'm sitting infront of my PC. Looking at my blog and others blog. Thinking of some cool design for my project. Listening to songs, looking at pictures for ideas. Looking at bullentin board in friendster.com.

In short, mutil-tasking.

Suddenly, a voice come from the window, that give a pause to my tasks. An old man, dark skin, average height, tall enough to look into my window. He speak in hokkien.

(my translation)
"Yo. Boss, want me to tell u yr fortune. I oso kno Wind-Water (Feng Shui). Very cheap onli. 5 dollar...."

I look at him for awhile. Trying to translate my mandarin into hokkien in my mind.

(my translation)
"Uncle, I don't believe in Wind-Water neither do I believe in fortune. I only believe in Jesus"

Then he add on

(my translation)
"Yo, Boss yr forehead very brite leh. Sure veri lucki one. Let me tel u more pls..."

I want back to the room, take a chinese BIBLE. I just can't take it anymore, I speak in mandarin to him.

"Uncle, your Wind-Water not accurate. I don't believe. I only believe in my BIBLE. BIBLE then accurate. You want? I can give you this BIBLE. You can take a look..."

He pause, he is stun, he look abit disappointed for not striking a deal. He walk away.

I wonder why not he just take that BIBLE and take at look first before he decide to go. I feel abit sad for he rejected the BIBLE. Mmm... Maybe I should invite him in just now, see what he have to say. Then share Christ to him. It might work this way.

Whatever it is, I hope the next Christian he wana strike a deal with. Will do a better job than me.

For this gift that will benefit me throughout my life...

"Teach your children to choose the right path, and when they are older, they will remain upon it."
Taken from the BIBLE Proverbs 22:6

I had some memories flash back today...

I'm thinking about the time when I'm still a primary student. About primary 2,3. Having not much of a freedom studying what I'm told to study. Never able to understand what's all this things gona do good to me. Never like math when in primary school, not good in english too. The only subject that makes me proud of myself is mandarin.

My chinese scored the highest among all other subjects. Well... I'm not a born-to-be chinese scorer. This comes with a price to pay. My mum is very particular about my chinese grades. She will make sure that my chinese grade to be over 90 marks. She always remind me, it's important for a chinese to know his mandarin well.

By just saying, it will not make any different.

I remember during that time. There are a lot of weekly news magazines for children, all in mandarin, distributed to everyone of us every week. For those who still remember, its the "Hao Peng You" and the "Zi Xing Ri Bao".In the magazine, there are a lot of chinese quiz and comprehension. My mum will always sit by me and force me to finish everything in that magazine. She will always correct my pronunciation and my writing.

She everytime will teach me a chapter ahead using the school chinese textbook. Everytime when there is chinese spelling, she will always force not only memorizes the word,the meaning and how to use it in sentences. While, our teacher only require us to memorizes how to write the words. All this carry on until when I'm in secondary school.

Well... Now I'm in Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, she is no longer sitting beside me to teach me anymore, well... What I'm studying now is design. But, now I'm still proud of myself being able to speak mandarin fluently although not being the best. At least, what she had done makes me this interest in mandarin. I like to read chinese novel, comic, able to understand movies directed by Zheng Yi Mou and there are more to mention.

I'm really thankful and grateful for her teaching of mandarin to me. For this gift that will benefit me throughout my life.
Thank God for my Mum...

This is a very interesting article I read in "Streats" today

I feel left out in a right-handed world
By ELSTON SOARES

As a left-handed person, I learnt early in life that people do treat southpaws like us rather differently. I first realised this during a rehearsal for the annual school day function. I was six years old then. The rehearsal was for all the children in my class who were to receive prizes at the event. While others were being shown which way to approach the chief guest and how to leave the stage, I was also told that when I shake hands with the chief guest I should offer my right hand. That was only the start.

In art and craft class, I used to find it difficult to use a pair of scissors. So too learning to write and tying shoelaces, among other things. It was much later that I discovered there were scissors for left-handed people. My school years were punctuated by many episodes of being forced, both by my parents and teachers, to use my right hand to do everyday things – from writing to eating.

This, I guess, is because in many Asian cultures it is seen as impolite to use your left hand to eat, shake hands, or even receive gifts for what are claimed to be reasons of hygiene. It is known that in many Asian cultures, people use the left hand to clean themselves after visiting the loo. But it’s just a hand after all, and you can always wash it afterwards. Thankfully, my parents saw sense after trying for a while to make me conform to the ways of right-handed people. Before long, they let me be. But I do know of children who believe that their speech and sight were affected after their parents forced them to do things the right way.

Sadly, the discrimination that persists against us left-handers in various fields of human endeavour also finds an echo in the English language.
A left-handed compliment, for example, is not something you want to hear.
Incidentally, the word for “left” in French is “gauche”, which also means clumsy. In Latin it’s “sinister”.
I have yet to find out what’s so evil, or sinister, about being left-handed.
Contrast this with how right-handers are treated by the English language.
From the French word for “right”, which is “droit”, we get the English word “adroit”, which suggests capability.
The Latin for right is “dexter” from which we get such words as “dexterous”. Ambidextrous literally means “both right”.

Left-handedness, however, is not as rare or exotic as people think it is.
According to Lefthanders International, one in every 10 people is left-handed, and males are one and a half times more likely to be left-handed then females.
But many myths about left-handers persist. One is that lefties tend towards creative genius. Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Ludwig von Beethoven, Benjamin Franklin, Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein were all
left-handed according to history. But just as we can name all these talented left-handers, we can also list just as many right-handers.
There are no concrete facts to prove or disprove any relation between being left-handed and being exceptional in any field.

According to Ms Martha Pieper, co-author of Smart Love and columnist for the Chicago Parent, being left-handed means simply having a preference for using the left hand for a variety of tasks, including reaching, throwing, pointing and catching. As for why some of us are left-handed, medical researchers have looked long and hard for the reasons.

And their answer?

The same reason why brown-eyed people have brown eyes – genes that manifest their trait in one out of every 10 chances. But despite all the adjustments one has to make, the one thing about being a lefthander that gives me the greatest pleasure is when Ms Pieper says: “Being left-handed means having a dominant right side of the brain.” And often when a person is right brain dominant, they are thought of as dreamers, artists, and musicians. At least we have good taste.

Well... Hands are created by God after all...
And all that He had made were good...

the village of those that we can't speak of...

I have watched "The village" today.

It's a very WELL DONE movie. Definitely one of the BEST this year !

It is not those cliche kind of horror movie as most of the people thought it is due to the way they present it on their trailers and advertisements. If you are having this mentality that it is a horror movie, that will scare you out of your nerves, better don't watch it, you will get very disappointed.

The plot is very unique, one of a kind...

For those who had watched it, you will realize that this movie is all about humans greed and selfishness. It show how pathetic a selfish human can be. So selfish that it could destroy the whole generation.

Due to the death of their friends and familys, this group of people decided to isolate themselves from the world. Because they think that it's the root of all evil - money, that cause the death of their friends and family. It's money that makes them greedy and selfish which drive them to their graves.

So, in order not to lose anymore of their friends and family to the greed of money and their selfishness, they came out with a perfect idea to isolate themselves. Not only themselves, their future generation also. Proclaiming that they want to protect their innocent friends and family from the world corruption systems. Keeping them away from greed and selfishness that leads to death.

Well, let's look at it this way. Yes, they have successfully break off the systems of money in their own isolation. But, in the end, this group of people are still being bound by their own selfishness. They are SELFISH, to keep their younger generation away from the world. They are SELFISH to let their younger generation think that they can't go beyond the woods to see what is outside. That group of people only think about their own good.

I highly recommend this movie. Just throw away the concept of those horror movie and let the plot slowly unfold when u watch it...






But, be very careful of " those that we can't speak of ". They might be hiding in the woods near your house.
DON'T LET THEM GET YOU...

A great addition to any library...

This is a comment given by a guy after reading the NLT (New Living Translation) Bible...

"Every lover of scripture will delight in the NLT! Fresh, concise, and revealing--a great addition to any library." Max Lucado Author

What do he think the BIBLE is ! Treating it as if it is those storybook you'll find in the library...

I can surely said he don't understand what a BIBLE is although he might have read it...

The Pineapple story

"The Lord's servants must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone. They must be able to teach effectively and be patient with difficult people. They should gently teach those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people's hearts, and they will believe the truth.Then they will come to their senses and escape from the Devil's trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants." Taken from the BIBLE, 2Timonthy 2:24-26

This pineapple story took place in Dutch New Guinea. It covered a period of seven years. This is a first-hand account, from a missionarie there. You will discover that it is a classic example of the kinds of struggles which each of us faces until we learn and apply the concept of yielding personal rights...

" My wife and I work with these people way back in the bush. One day I decided that I was going to bring in some pineapples. The people had heard of pineapples. They had tasted them, but they didn’t have any source to get them.

So I got them from another mission station. I got about one hundred plants. Then I got one of the local men to work for me. He planted all these pineapple shoots for me. I paid him, of course. I paid him salt or whatever he wanted for the days he worked. It seemed to take awfully long for those little shoots of pineapple to become big bushes and finally yield pineapples. It took about three years. Back in the jungle you long for fresh fruit. You don’t get much fresh fruit or vegetables.

So finally that third year we could see fresh pineapples coming on, and we were just waiting for the end of the year because that is when they are ripe. When the time finally came, my wife and I would go for walks to see if any were ripe enough to eat.

Finally, when they got ripe, we didn’t get a single one of them! The natives stole every one! They stole them before they were ripe. That is their art. Steal it before it is ripe or the owner gets it.

Here I am, a missionary, getting mad at these people. Missionaries aren’t supposed to get mad. You all know that. But I got angry. I said, "Look, you guys! I have been waiting for these pineapples for three years. I didn’t get any of them. Now there are others getting ripe. If any more of these pineapples are stolen, no more clinic for you."

My wife was running a clinic. She was giving them all their pills free. They didn’t have anything to pay. We were knocking ourselves out trying to help these people, taking care of their sick, saving the lives of their babies. One by one the pineapples got ripe, and one by one they were stolen. So I felt I had to stand my ground with these people. I couldn’t just let them run all over me. But that was not really the reason. It was a selfish reason. I wanted to eat those pineapples. So no more clinic. Then they let their sick babies die. They couldn’t care less. Life was cheap over there. People with bad pneumonia would be coughing and begging us for medicine. We would say, "No! Remember you stole our pineapples." "I didn’t steal them," they would say. "It was the other guys that did it." They would go on coughing and begging. We couldn’t take it any longer. I broke down and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning we will open the clinic again." When we opened the clinic they started stealing the pineapples, and I felt bad again. Man ! These rascals!

But finally we found out who was doing it – the guy who had planted them. I called him on the carpet and said, "Look, buddy! What are you doing stealing my pineapples? You are my gardener."

He said, "My hands plant them. My mouth eats them." That is the rule of the jungle. If they plant something, that is theirs. They had never heard of the idea of paying for services. So he said, "They are all mine." I said, "Oh no! They are mine. I paid you to plant them." But he just couldn’t understand how that made them my plants. I thought, "Well, what do I do now? It was the rule of their tribe. I’d better learn to live by their rule."

So I said, "Alright, I will give you half of these plants. Everything from here to over there is yours. If they get ripe, they are yours. And these are mine." He sounded like he was in agreement. But my pineapples still got stolen.

Then I thought, "Maybe I should let them have all those pineapples, and I’ll get some new ones." But I knew that I would have to wait three more years. That was hard for me to do. Finally I said, "Look, I will give you all these pineapples, and then I will start all over again. Now you make a garden so I will have room to plant new ones. I don’t want your pineapples in my garden if you feel they are yours." So they said, "Too-wan, (which means outsider, foreigner) you will have to pay us." I said, "Now look!" They said, "No, no! You are asking us to move your pineapple bushes, and that is work." Now they are mine, I said, "Alright, I’ll pay you one day’s work. Take them all away." Then they said, "We don’t have a garden ready. Will you pay us to get it ready?" I said, "Forget it!" I was so fed up with them.

I told my wife, "This is impossible! I am just going to pay some guy to root them all out and throw them on the trash heap. Then if they want them they can just take them." So we did. We rooted them all out and threw them on a heap. That was hard to do. They were nice pineapple bushes. Then I bought new plants.

I said, "Now look, all you guys. I am going to pay you to plant them, but I eat them, my family and me. You don’t eat any." They said, "You can’t do that. If we plant them, we eat them." I said, "Look, I don’t have time to mess with a garden. I have too much to do. There are so many of you, and there is only one me. You have got to help me. I want you to plant them, and I will eat them."

I said, "I will pay you. What do you want? I will give you this nice knife if you will agree to do it." They started to think. "He will pay us that knife so he can eat our pineapples." Finally they agreed. During the next three years I reminded the guy who planted them, "Look! Who is going to eat these pineapples?" He said, "You are." I said, "Fine! Have you still got the knife?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Well, take good care of it." If he lost the knife I am in trouble again. The pay is gone.

Finally, after three more years the pineapples began to ripen. My wife and I walked through the garden again. I said, "Man! Pretty soon we are going to have a crop of our own pineapples." We started to thank God that He was providing them for us. But do you know what happened? Every one of them was stolen! I would see the natives go through the garden in the daytime to spot where the pineapples were, and then at night they would be able to go right to them.

I thought, "What am I going to do? We can’t cut out the clinic. Let’s cut out the trade store." That’s where they get their matches, salt, fishhooks, and things like that. They use to do without them. That won’t kill them. I said, "Okay, no more store. You stole my pineapples." When we closed the store they began to say, "We had better leave because we don’t have any salt. If he is not going to have a store, there is no advantage for us being here with him. We might as well go back to our jungle houses." So they took off to live in the jungle.

There I was sitting by myself eating pineapples. No people, no ministry. I said to my wife, "Look, we can eat pineapple back in the States, I mean, if that is all we are here to do." A runner returned and I said, "Get them all back. We will open the store next Monday." I thought and thought. How am I going to get to eat those pineapples? There must be a way...

... I thought, "Man! I don’t have anything to lose. I will give that pineapple garden to God because I am not eating pineapples anyway." Now I know that is not a very good sacrifice. You are supposed to sacrifice something that is valuable to you. But I would give it to God and see if He could control it. I said, "Man! I am going to see how He is going to do it."

So I stood in the garden one night. The people had gone home. I didn’t want them to see me out there praying. I prayed, "Lord, see these pineapple bushes? I have fought to have fruit from them. I have claimed them. I stood up for my rights. It is all wrong, and I realize it now. I have seen that it is wrong and I give them to You. From now on, if You want me to eat any of Your pineapples, fine. You just go right ahead and give them to us. If not, fine. It doesn’t really matter."

So I gave them to God, and the natives stole the pineapples as usual. I thought to myself, "See, God, You can’t control them either."

Then one day they came to me and said, "Too-wan, you have become a Christian, haven’t you?" I was ready to react and say, "Look here, I have been a Christian for twenty years." But instead I said, "Why do you say that?" They said, "Because you don’t get angry anymore when we steal your pineapples." This was a real revelation. Now I was living what I had been preaching to them. I had been telling them to love one another, be kind to one another, and I had always been standing up for my rights, and they knew it.

Finally, one bright lad started thinking and said, "Now, why don’t you get angry anymore?" I said, "I have given that garden away. It isn’t my garden anymore. So you are not stealing my pineapples. I don’t have to get angry anymore." Another guy started to think even more and he said, "Who did you give that garden to?" They looked around. "Did he give it to you?" "Did he give it to you?" "Whose is it anyway?" "Whose pineapples are we stealing?"

Then I said, "I have given the garden to God." They said, "To God?! Hasn’t He got any pineapples where He is?" I said, "I don’t know whether He has or not, but I have given it to God." They went to the village and said, "Do you know whose pineapples we are stealing? Too-wan has given them to God." They all started thinking about that one. They came back in a group and said, "Too-wan, you should not have done it. Why don’t you get them back from God? No wonder we aren’t getting the pigs when we go out hunting. No wonder our babies are getting sick. No wonder our wives are not giving birth. No wonder the fish aren’t biting." Then they said, "We shouldn’t steal them anymore if they are God’s, should we?"

They were afraid of God. So then the pineapples began to ripen. The natives came and said, "Too-wan, your pineapples are ripe." I said, "They are not mine. They belong to God." They said, "But they are going to get rotten. You had better pick them." And so, I got some and I let the natives take some. When my family sat down to eat them, I said, "Lord, we are eating Your pineapples. Thank You for giving them to us." All those years those natives were watching me and listening to my words. They saw that the two didn’t match. But when I began to change, they did too. Soon many natives decided to become Christians... "

It's very important to practice what you preach...

The reason of you believe in what you believe...

"Please don't be so easily shaken and troubled by those who say that the day of the Lord has already begun. Even if they claim to have had a vision, a revelation, or a letter supposedly from us, don't believe them." taken from the BIBLE 2Thessalonians 2:2

I'm amazed by this monk who delectated his life to buddhism, which he said he found hope in this religion in his darkest part of his lifetime, and this buddhism teaching enlighten him, which he illustrate as "a light shine with a helping hand carry him up from the darkness" (translate directly from chinese).
This was shown in Channel U program called "A Ray of Light"

I'm amazed because why did he willing to delicate himself to the teaching, willing shave his hair, devoted himself as a buddhism monk. What's the factor that makes him to do that. To think that the teaching is the truth, the way and the light in his darkness. I'm wondering what will he be like if, it was the BIBLE he read during his darkest part of his life. I wonder again why is it not Christ but buddha, he choose to devote himself to. I'm sure he somehow had heard about the Christ.

I'm curious to know why, i'm always curious. I wonder what's the very thing in buddhism that makes him so devoted himself into. I went to search on web to know more about buddhism scriptures. I found alot of articles about buddhism, i even found the whole Book of Buddha, for bonus I even found some other articles about muslim faith.

And the conclusion I get from reading all this articles is, all of them are so real. They all claim they have the truth, they are the way. Comparing others religions to theirs, countering each other teachings, trying to proof who have more truth who are better. To me, it's like all this article are trying to sell their religion to the readers, as if there are "neutral" believer "shopping" for religion to believe in. But I'm really amazing by those people who went through all the research and studies to write all this articles, at least they take the effort to proof their faith.

I start to question myself (you can said that I'm too free to think about such things) if I'm a non-believer of any religion which will I choose to believe in and why. I also question myself why I still choose to believe in the BIBLE, choose to stand firm in my belief as a Christian when all this words of religions appearing so real, so true...

I can't really answer the 1st question because I'm not a non-believer of any religion. I can answer the 2nd question because I'm a Christian. My answer is, I find peace in Him,my God. I feel free in Him. I feel joyful. This might sound very cliche kind of answer. But, I experience it !

I was not born in a Christian family, my family were not Christian, I use to go temple to worship those gods, goes to mediums and stuff like that. But, when I became a Christian, there is this peace that fills me, this peace, I can't feel it in those temple i use to go when I'm young, this peace, I can't get it from those mediums. And then there was joy, I feel joyful to go to church as compare to go to those temple, I mean I still remember when I'm young I don't like to go temple with my parent, but church was so different.

I start to realise, it is very important to know the reason of you believe in what you believe and more important to practice what you believe.

For those who found that reason, can you be sure that you will not be shaken by any other reasons...
