saturday, i spent my day slacking at home... i wanted to go to the gym but it was closed... so i had to stay at home to rot... lol... so since i was rotting away anyway, i scanned in my signature and the chinese jade stamp that i made in BeiJing when i went there with NgeeAnnPrimary in Primary 6... and of course i added in some effects and adjustments to make it look nicer... neither my signature nor the stamp looked that nice... i particularly liked the overlay effect for my signature... very cool... lol... ok, so that was saturday... largely...
then i went for morning swim again today... and i saw that same girl again... lol... i shall not comment on that any further... but swimming was really great... although halfway through there was a slight drizzle that made the pool water freezingly cold... but it was still great...
today we had a new preacher, not new actually, joining us from the Bukit Batok branch... hmmz... very interesting topic, something that really rings a bell inside my head... Catastrophism. and he linked it to the bible on how we should be prepared for it... catastrophism that symbolises the return of christ; and how we should always stay alert and not slacken down ourselves because we'll never know when a disaster will occur or even when christ will come...
his speech was particularly interesting because what he said reflected much of how i live my days... during exams, i get closer to god; i pray much more... and after exams, it's always "tomorrow" and still "tomorrow"... and when nobody's looking, "aiya, nevermind la, i'll do later"... why is it that we only become close to god only when faced with difficulties? and must we wait for god to give us more difficulties so that we may get close to him? why can't we just spend more time with him in times of peace... jesus said: "blessed are the poor for their's is the kingdom of god". i would add, "blessed are those faced with trials, for their's is also the kingdom of god"... for only during tough times we draw near to him... i would really hope that my addition is wrong, and i wish it will be wrong too... until that day that is...
