Older ramblings Friday, September 24, 2004 01:40 a.m.       To talk to people about the deity of Christ at 1.45 am in the morning is stimulating for my brains... Too bad I am not grounded in the complete information of Christ... I shame Lee Strobel I reckon.       Just came back from Michelle's house after a very stimulating conversation about lizards, cockroaches, contraction and expansion theories and messy rooms. Aside from the laughs, I stopped to appreciate the great time I had with my friends. It's been a while where I can laugh and joke so freely without having to worry about exams. A time where I can unwind and chuckle and munch on sushi with lobs of wasabi on them.       I don't know. I can't stop thinking about faith. Is it because I desperately want people to jump into the same boat in me? Yes. Do I believe that Jesus was the Son of God? Yes. Was He just a man? No. Why? Because He rose from the dead and took away our sins. How to validate it? Read the Bible and disprove the prophecies to begin with. Yes, some people have been mistaken before Jesus as the Messiah, but in the end, they could not fulfill the prophecies. But a small carpenter from Nazareth did it. He did it in such a fashion that raised so many critics and believers at the same time that we can't disregard His existence.       Either you call Jesus Lord once and for all, or a Demon. But never ever call him a man with good moral values. He never gave us that option to begin with.       I challenge the real you to respond to the real Jesus. Shed aside your religious background - regardless if you are Christian or muslim or hindu or buddhist - and look at the evidence you have in the world aside from the gospels and make an educated observation. It will stun you. Believe me. It did that for me. Sunday, September 12, 2004 08:57 p.m. I've finished my exams yesterday. I'm free! Have a terrible sore throat until I can't even speak out loud. Had a voice in the morning, now I'm reduced to some freak who squeaks for a living. I've been throwing up mucous-stained BLOOD clots. Severe wounds in the throat methinks. Never mind. having a liquid diet for a few days wouldn't kill me, make me lose some weight too *chuckles* Wednesday, September 1, 2004 11:21 a.m.       After spending a night revising for today's paper, I believe I am calmer for today's paper compared to the paper I took on Monday. But as a close friend said, what's done is done, no use mulling over it and getting all upset. The fact that I took the exam with a pounding migraine which left me drained and blur during Monday's paper disturbed me a lot, wouldn't you?       Had cell group yesterday and as I expected, at least 30 people (or even more) showed up to answer God's call. If I might be bold to say so, I saw my pastor well up with emotion inside. He was extremely pleased because I think he's been hoping for this happen for some time already. I'm glad we're part of his happiness :) He talked about a lot of stuff - finance, a career, what to expect from him and what he expected from us, how to live out our own calling, prayer and even BGRs and etc. So it was a very informative cell group for me yesterday.       Somehow, I have gained a bit more of perspective of what to do for my future. I am going to finish my final semester in college in less than 6 months time so I guess I'll have to start planning for where and what I'm going to do with my life. My first choice is still New Straits Times, of course I am prepared to work at news desk and not Life&Times. I want to learn as much as I can about reporting and writing. Beyond that, I really don't know yet. But if NST doesn't feel like employing me, then perhaps I will go to "the other side" but it's not my first choice most definitely. I have a strong attachment to NST :) But if The Star doesn't want me either, then I'll have to rethink my strategy. But I'm holding onto the belief that God will provide me with a job because He has already given me that confirmation:)       Time is short and I need to run off and study before exams start at 2pm. I'm praying that no migraines will chase my brains today. I'm going to be all right today! Yeah, man. I will!
