Good day!!

I don't understand why but I was so spirited this morning. I woke up earlier than usual (though I decided to continue laying on the bed till 8.30).. I did not have to drag myself to work. I just felt good. Don't tell me I will meet someone special today =D

I did beat Chelsea 4-2 in my Football Manager '06 game last night and felt SUPER afterwards. But that couldn't be the reason right?

Oh but what a game! What a pulsating match! I was up against Ibrahimovich and Torres and had to endure Chelsea's barrage. My Trabelsi kept Robben quiet all night and Kompany was making last ditch tackles and Sebastian Frey was heroic. Oh.. anyway.. it's just a game, too bad.

It's funny how the game describes our addictiveness level. Previously I only got that "remember to wash your underwear" level at best. But this time.. I have twice or thrice left the game on as I slept.. I have risen to a brand new level of addictiveness. Now its "remember to call your work for more sick leave". Heh..

The Football Manager 2007 will be released this weekend. I was reading the game's blog and many people gave comments that make me wonder.. One claimed that he failed his subjects last year because of this game. Some called this game their 'heroin'. Game addicts, something you never have one century ago.

Talking about addictiveness.. I think game is really one of the most overlooked addictive stuff. I used to underestimate its power. Playing can be addictive. Game can be destructive.

It reminds me of Paul's advice. Don't be mastered by anything. Maintain your self control in every single thing. It's really hard. It's really really hard. Every person has something that he/she like very much. I admire Paul for he claimed that he has trained himself such that he would focus his attention entirely on God.

And I admire Timothy for he was young and yet.. he maintained an excellent standard of living. He restrained himself from all the worldly pleasure, knowing that he could have enjoyed some of them. He chose not to. He did it for the sake of every single lamb that God has entrusted him with.

We read in the bible.. how the apostles' shadow and handkerchief carried God's power such that people were healed thru those things. We were in awe. We want to be used that mightily. But we forgot something. We forgot that they had paid the price. In order to be used by God in full capacity.. the only way is to empty ourselves. And empty means empty. Still a long way to go for me...

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'

Ichi Rittoru no Namida

As Aya's condition gradually worsen, she could no longer walk or stand anymore. She would sometimes choke when she eat and she struggled to speak. There was only one thing that she could do, albeit which much difficulty. She could still write. One day her mum visited her at the hospital and seeing her struggling hard to write her diary, her mum asked her to rest. But she said.. "Okaasan.. you said that I can still write right? That's the only thing that I could still do. I have to write what I have in mind now because that is the only prove that I am living today." Even when she could hardly hold her crayon, she would still write her diary. I do not know whether the movie followed the true diary content but in the movie.. Despite the diary began with her questioning why she had to be the one to suffer from this cruel disease, it sweetly ended with a word: "Arigatou". Thanking her parents and siblings for being there right to the end, thanking her friends for...
