Studied for a day in TJ. Was sooo tired. Ate breakfast at the market opposite. Its such a long time since I was there - 5 years actually.
I was thinking that next time when I look back at all these photos and stuff it’ll be such an interesting read. Even more so for my nephew/nieces/kids.

Went to ikea with my sister to get a second plank of wood for my outside table in her room and to eat lunch at the same time. After that noughat died at about 6pm right in front of my uncle. Took 2 deep breaths and that was it… so we went over to look see. Think my san yi will be super inconsolably sad. Anyway, that marks the end of candy’s legacy. No more pugs in the family already. Oh well.. We carried on to vivo and I studied there for a brief while while she met up with friends. Finally drove a manual car (the lao pok). Some pictures.

Yep, it is! Came in the evening. I had the opportunity to play around with Windows Vista and the likes.. must say its smooth but most changes i think are under the hood. Currently its more intuitive but for people like me who are so at home with the 95, 98 and xp file structures its abit disorienting. I must say its an imroovement although it is quite the copy cat of linux and mac. Installed open office, think no need to get any expensive overpowered powerpoint and word processor. We’ll see how people change and adapt to it.
Took the chance to calibrate my monitor’s colors so I can design and select colours properly. It really does make a difference! The coloursare more accurate and less washed out than they used to be. Yippee!

Heh, I finally got myself a ginormous hard disk. Effectively Its 300GB but thats good enough for me.

I’m crazy tired but I managed to do quite alot of interesting stuff today. I re-did the church website due to the latest version of wordpress (2.1) breaking the functionality of the theme, its still not working properly but thats not noticeable from the front. (Kim!! Help!! Save me!!). Also…
I ate THE MOST juicy, tender, succulent, tasty steak in my entire LIFE right here at home. I mentioned I felt like eating steak or ang moh food after so much chinese food for 3 days. So my mom stopped by Jason’s supermarket in orchard to pick up a slab of meat the size of my one fist and a little more - $26. Then we went home, chopped it into 3 (for me, my mom and my dad), put garlic, black pepper and pan fried it in olive oil. It was amazing… pretty bloody and rare, really soft and juicy. It was heavenly. As i write, I am still salivating. Sigh.. been thinking of it the entire evening - thats how good it was.
Oh well, I shall cook it one day myself. Its really simple to do. Wanna make some fries to go along with it too next time. And with this rant, I’m off to bed.
Ah! glorious steak… I’m still yearning for thee…

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
To conclude my musings on why some people just don’t have (to me) basic bible knowledge, I was humbled and convicted by a friend of my pride.
Firstly, these things are revealed to us! Not something we can understand unassisted - christian or not. The above verse makes it clear that without the spirit working in us, the bible becomes meaningless and dead! What pride to think we could understand it on our own! The only reason a christian can read and rejoice at God’s written revelation is the spirit that dwells in us.
Is your bible reading dead today? maybe you need to get in touch with the spirit again.
