Me being - imaginative.

I-M-A-G-I-N-A-T-I-O-N

its a very big word aint it. its such a powerful thing.
look at how the world has moved. how the world have progressed through the years with the slightest spark of IMAGINATION.

haha, its funny because when i think about this word, i'll always think of Spongebob and Patrick inside the box where they let their 'IMAGINATION' run wild.

and the internet's a very practical example of a human's mind.
it can lead you anywhere. get you any information u yearn.

whatever you are looking for, the latest movies, the latest buzz.
latest sports score.

its so wonderful isnt it?

and yet if we abuse it. look at how bad it can lead us.
take a look at this metaphor i'm going to drawing.

you're surfing the web when an icon pop up leading you to x-rated sites.
you clicked on it and tons of pop-ups appear.
you try to close them to no avail because when u close 1 another will come up.
as your last resort, you switched off the main power switch and restart your computer.

to your horror, the whole system crashed the moment you enter your desktop.

just 1 click, and it leads to such a disasterous outcome.


well, haha. that was pretty dramatic but things like this do happen.
during service yesterday, Reverend Abel Thomas was preaching about sins.
and its just so real.
this is what he said," sin is like a bite from a snake. just one small bite, and it'll spread the poison throughout your body and you'll eventually die "

so how has my starting of 'IMAGINATION' led to this thing about sin u might wonder.
i just would like to point out to all (including myself) that imagination is really a powerful tool that God had given us.
but if we abuse it, if we misuse it for sinful things. it'll be like poison passing through our body.
and i believe that sin begins from the head. (feelings to an extent also)

an alcoholic think of drinking, and eventually he'll be binge drinking.
a drug addict think of getting high and eventually he'll be jabbing himself with needles or taking pills.
an average man think of sexy ladies and he'll end up in a porn site or even worse he goes looking for prostitutes to satisfy his sexual lust.


guess this is the reason why i need God.
because i know that with this imagination and without Him, i'll be sinning deeper and deeper.
a friend shared with me today, the teachings from the Bible without Jesus will just be a book teaching us about the high moral standards we should keep.
which is why the relationship we have with Him is what counts most.

Me being - screwed by the uniform.

I WANT TO ORD!!!

the regimentations, the abuse of power.

getting to face a charge anytime anywhere. its as scary as it gets.
signing extras anytime an officer feels like giving u one.

uniform life's pretty screwed up isnt it?

living in fear of getting picked out for a silly minor offences.
old officers who thinks that they know everything.
old officers are those who dawn on a streak of moustache between their nose and upper lip.

haha.

sometimes i just feel that i'm just terribly unlucky.
trying to work hard and yet still getting pin-pointed.
offending officers just because they dont like me.

work has been a struggle and i have be on my toes all the time.
just when things seem to settle down on this side, another thing happen on the other.
man.

sometimes i just feel that God's in this.
all of this.
letting me go through this for a reason of His own.

and if its for His reasons, why not?
