I am talking to a close friend this morning and somehow we stumbled across this topic.
I used to be a darwinism believer, it's logical and easy to understand.
Although my choice of religion has prompted me to ask questions about it, but I think it's the evidence, or rather 'lack of evidence' to the theory that has made me less inclined to the theory.
Just type in 'darwinism is true' in google and see the many writtings to know what I'm talking about.
What's more scarry is that darwinism is a theory. They don't teach you that in school. They tell you it's the truth, so many of us didn't have a chance to make up your mind. However, if you made up your mind that darwinism is true, I also respect that.
This reminds me the story, where for a time people believe Aristotle. He said that the heavier the object the faster it would fall on earth. He is the greatest thinker of his time so he cant' be wrong... It was probably accepted as truth for 2000 years?! Galileo in 1589, went on top of the leaning tower of pisa and drop 2 objects of the same size but of differing weights (as legends have it). Both objects landed at the same time and hence disproved aristotle. But ppl refused to believe that until hundreds of years later....

part 1 and part 2
Part 1's Friday.
It must have started earlier in the week, when me and my gf exchanged little sarcasm. By friday, it was a full frontal war. Every sentence was with a dagger, laced with poison.
With so much practice, by Friday evening, we were launching guided misiles. I was losing, and I hated losing. I never was good with words anyway....
We decided to have peace talks at night. And obviously an absence of violence doesn't mean peace.
Part 2 continues on saturday morning when she came over to ask me something. I answered her, except I was still in bed and I was having this nightmare and I was talking to her with this really frowned up face... She thought I was being pissed at her for nothing.
Assumably Eric has draw 'first blood'. The rest of the day is history.
Until at night, we both admitted that it was the 2 worst day of our life. Still it was awkward to talk like normal because the hurt was so real and so deep and so frustrating. I took on both our parts to be gracious and step down.
Then instead of fighting, Liping decided that we should say sorry to each other. Apologizing to one another for the things the other part would want apology for. We also must thank each other for things they have done. Both must do it sincerely.
We both did. Again it was difficult. You must understand, our egos are like the KLCC twin towers standing together. At that moment, and the sky bridge wasn't too secure.
But after saying sorry, kiss and make up. Some maggi. Some Sim city 4. We both were chirpy again! yay!
A friend called on Sunday from Germany. Thanks Shan for the encouragement again! She just said that our arguements are healthy because as we grow closer, we fight at a different levels...etc Her mere positivity cheered me on Sunday! Thanks Yu Shan.
So on sunday, there wasn't any part 3. It'll probably come another day. But not on Sunday. Sunday, I got to know Liping a little more. On Sunday, I learn to love her a little bit more for who she is.

CNY
I had loads of fun last week... particularly because I spent quite a bit of time hanging out with Ricky Liew. Why? Coz he is such a meloncholy. Everything's well planned, well timed. If he arrives 5 minutes b4 the appointted time he considers himself late. While I am the opposite. I am implusive. I arrive on the dot - early, or 5-10minutues late - on time, 10-20minutes late - wasn't me but the traffic.... I change plans on the very last minute....etc
Our trip to watch 'Constantine' was a normal one to me. We arrived just about 15mins before a jam packed cinema to only que for a ticket. (of course we got our tickets.... send me a comment below and maybe i'll tell you how i get it! :) hehe ) We had no tickets and no plans what if we didn't get a ticket. Ricky has nice enough to go along and see what happens, but he did tell me later on that he don't like such 'adventures'. When we watch 'Seoul Raiders'. We arrived 5 minutes before to the Cinema....
Though on both occasion we manage to get good tickets to the movie, I felt really bad... hahahaah It's like he takes timing so seriously! (duh?!)
My gf was quite pleased to see some changes on my effort to being on time after she came back from penang. It's going to be a tough 2 months for me to fight this habit!!

my weekend
Last weekend was a great one for me!
God was so good to me. He is actually always good, but on this occasion, I think I was pampered :D. First, there was a prophetic conference in our church DUMC. The speaker is Dr. Ron Sawka. An American missionary to Japan. Who would thought that a speaker with the name 'Dr. Sawka', and esp a missionary to Japan would be so fun to listen to! (BOOORRRINGGGG... or so I thought)
My initial thought about the 'prophetic conference' was that Dr. Ron will just preach on what God has prophecied over Malaysia and pray for each one of us.... But none of that happen really. In fact in the conference he taught all of us to prophecy over our lives as accordance to Biblical truth. "Prophecying is as easy as being saved" he says. Shocking at first, but after countless practices of hearing the holy spirit and prophecying to strangers... We were all blessed and awed by how God can work through us. By the end of the conference, we were having so much fun and the joy of the Lord just came upon us, BIG TIME. It was like discovering new sets of ears all over again... I felt as if I have only one thing the Lord wanted to tell me and it was prophecied over me by different (strangers) people over and over again. I was truly blessed.
Dr. Ron, if you're reading this -- I think you're a cool dude! He spoke with such passionate and fevor. Althought I was sitting really far away, but it felt as if he was chatting with us. Just going with the flow, he made us laugh through out the conference. And he's got this smirk/grin on his face! He was even able to make the most boring stuff funny, which was great coz it helps me remember them. I found myself wanting to hear more of his 'stories' and how God has used him.
Okay.. that was just the start of my weekend.
On Saturday night, we had a party for Angeline's Birthday. We had yummy, really yummu tom yam soup as base for our steamboat session!!!! muahahahahahahahahaha
Liping she makes good soup! yeah! I love you!
Angeline also made very good mushroom with chicken feet (tung ku kai keok) , then there was BA KUA, tonnes of stuff to steamboat with (I can only remember the mushrooms mushrooms and more mushrooms.... im sure ricky feels the same!), esther made nice 'tong sui', we also got desert and deserts........
then my James Seeee came and he brought along with him all his stupid jokes and then timmy and then ricky... hahahah and then somemore we watched white chicks (again!) .
With this bunch of people, I finally feel that KL is my home!
Then on sunday, Dr. Ron preached. During the last song, I was so 'high' that I was screaming and jumping because I really wanted to see Jesus coming back! It was tremendous, I haven't done that in DUMC ever....
Sunday night came and we had our MWM appreciation night! With people like Ian and Ricky in the organisation team, you really don't know what to expect! We were all asked to dress up. So I wore a jacket and looked really smart :P the girls... i mean ladies, they were hot! hot! hot! Now, I was thankful that I dressed up. Amy and Patrick won the best dressed award for the night. They were stunning. We also had a game session.... and wen ai won a HP notebook! We were all cheering for her! until we found out that it was really a HP - notebook, about 50 pages of good quality paper! Someone won a PC --- plastic cup, Surround Sound System --- used ear phones! hahahahahaha.....
This year, we were presented with a token a REALLY cool polo-shirt. I thought, this was the only tshirt I earn because I was faithful and consistent in serving! Yeah! I'm giong to feel so proud wearing the shirt!
The tshirt was presented to us in a award-ceremony style. Like in the oscars, we go up on stage, receive the gift and the section leader was to give a short speech. Elliot was hillarious when he went up and spoke in cantonese......
oh yeah, he dressed up like a rapper that day instead of a suit. He looked almost, it was ridiculous! but it was so funny. It's irritating being around him sometimes, I can't feel sad around him. He just makes you laugh. He's a well-spring of stupid jokes (and some seriously wise words at the right times)
