Sprinting That Extra Meters

Haha, it's a already Day 2 since my 2nd semester started, it's also my 2nd day trying to fulfill my resolution to jog in campus. I had to compromise a little from jogging around the campus to cumulative 1.2km on the jogging track in campus. I feel it's safer to jog without having to avoid cars. This is how I do my daily jogging. First I will not bring any electronic device, water nor my wallet, and walk all the way to the jogging track. In the mean time, I'll do some stretching. Once on the track, I'll jog 800m, which is 2 rounds of the track, then slow down to a 400m walk to catch my breath. After completing the walk, I'll start to jog for another 400m before heading back to my hostel and call it a day. At the end of each separate jogs, I will sprint for roughly 50m to train my sprinting ability after a long run. I do this because I realized I'M FAT! I also would like to bring back my stamina to perform better in Ultimate. I don't have the stamina t

Mighty Morphing Binding Idols

LOL, a quick update. Just got back at my hostel. It's a start of a new semester. Full-charged, I'm ready to serve God better in USM. One month of semester break had been good to me. I've learnt much about myself, my AWESOME Jesus and what He wants to do with my life and in my life. Coming back to the story, I might have over-written in my last post, it was *stretching my hands apart* th~is long. Long story short, during all my dreadful life I had been worshiping the counterfeit gods of power, popularity and acceptance. I wanted them so much, I did not realize I would not hesitate to cross the line in the pursuit. And then, as I moved up to Form 5, I knew I have reached a cap in my scouting "career", my personal counterfeit gods morphed themselves into counterfeit gods of romance. In romance, I had been trying to find my significance. In fact, this idol had been in me for a long time, that I constantly look for a romance that would love me so much and fill up t

Countering Counterfeit Gods

So, if you have noticed on my Facebook Timeline (I'm not asking you to stalk me though.), I've been sharing quotes from this book titled Counterfeit Gods written by Timothy Keller. So much so one of my friend, "unfriend" me because "too much religion on your wall, have to delete you, bye my friend. =)" LOL This one-month semester break had been good to me. Despite reversed biological clock, where I sleep at 4am, wakes up at 12pm, there's so much I've learn over the time. Boy-girl relationships, marriage, sex, lust, law of attraction, fate, predestination and idolatry. But perhaps the best I've learnt so far, is fundamentally idolatry. It seems idolatry has been the root of all sin. Ever wonder why the first commandment from God deals with idolatry? It was obviously the most fundamental sin of all, and if it's not dealt properly, even the most faithful servant of God may fall short. It was idolatry that caused Adam and Eve to have desire

Prayer For You

Oh whao, it's already February. Time flies when you're older, hehe, without realising, I'm old enough to say I'm old. I'm all stuck in the middle right now. Seeing what people have, seeing what people do, I'm not one exception that do not desire for something. But I'm struggling, you know. I do not know what I want. My desire and my conscience are at constant fight, I'm soon gonna lose my sanity. I lost the will to fight, I lost the strength to hide. Tired, defeated. I realised I have nothing but....... Alright screw this! Emotions always got the better of me at this late hour..... You know Lord? I always wanted a partner, You know that well. But Lord, it is You whom I want to give the honor. I know that You already have that special one for me, and I know when that comes I cannot run away, I won't run away. Lord, one thing I ask, You know how much I desire someone to fill that hole, I would be really happy if I have that special someone
