READ THIS AND SMILE (:

"LET ME EXPLAIN THE problem science has with Jesus Christ." The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand. "You're a Christian, aren't you, son?""Yes, sir.""So you believe in God?""Absolutely.""Is God good?""Sure! God's good.""Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?""Yes.""Are you good or evil?""The Bible says I'm evil."The professor grins knowingly."Ahh! THE BIBLE!" He considers for a moment. "Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help them? Would you try?""Yes sir, I would.""So you're good...!""I wouldn't say that.""Why not say that? You would help a sick and maimed person if you could...in fact most of us would if we could....God doesn't."[No answer]"He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?"[No answer]The elderly man is sympathetic. "No, you can't, can you?" He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax. "In philosophy, you have to go easy with the new ones. Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?""Er... Yes.""Is Satan good?""No.""Where does Satan come from?"The student falters. "From... God...""That's right. God made Satan, didn't he?" The elderly man runs his bony fingers through his thinning hair and turns to the smirking student audience. "I think we're going to have a lot of fun this semester, ladies and gentlemen." He turns back to the Christian. "Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?""Yes, sir.""Evil's everywhere, isn't it? Did God make everything?""Yes.""Who created evil?"[No answer]"Is there sickness in this world? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness. All the terrible things - do they exist in this world? "The student squirms on his feet. "Yes.""Who created them?"[No answer]The professor suddenly shouts at his student, "WHO CREATED THEM? TELL ME, PLEASE!" The professor closes in for the kill and climbs into the Christian's face. In a still small voice, he asked, "God created all evil, didn't He, son?"[No answer]The student tries to hold the steady, experienced gaze and fails. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace the front of the classroom like an aging panther. The class is mesmerized. "Tell me," he continues, "How is it that this God is good if He created all evil throughout all time?" The professor swishes his arms around to encompass the wickedness of the world. "All the hatred, the brutality, all the pain, all the torture, all the death and ugliness and all the suffering created by this good God is all over the world, isn't it, young man?"[No answer]"Don't you see it all over the place? Huh?"Pause."Don't you?" The professor leans into the student's face again andwhispers, "Is God good?"[No answer]"Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?"The student's voice betrays him and cracks. "Yes, professor. I do."The old man shakes his head sadly. "Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?""No, sir. I've never seen Him.""Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?""No, sir. I have not.""Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus... in fact, do you have any sensory perception of your God whatsoever?"[No answer]"Answer me, please.""No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.""You're AFRAID... you haven't?""No, sir.""Yet you still believe in him?""...yes...""That takes FAITH!" The professor smiles sagely at the underling. "According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son? Where is your God now?"[The student doesn't answer]"Sit down, please."The first Christian sits...defeated.Another Christian raises his hand. "Professor, may I address the class?"The professor turns and smiles. "Ah, yet another Christian in the vanguard! Come, come, young man. Speak some proper wisdom to the gathering."The Christian looks around the room. "Some interesting points you are making, sir. Now I've got a question for you. Is there such thing as heat?""Yes," the professor replies. "There's heat.""Is there such a thing as cold?""Yes, son, there's cold too.""No, sir, there isn't."The professor's grin freezes. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The second Christian continues."You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit 273 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold, otherwise we would be able to go colder than -273°C. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it."Silence. A pin drops somewhere in the classroom."Is there such a thing as darkness, professor?""That's a dumb question, son. What is night if it isn't darkness? What are you getting at...?""So you say there is such a thing as darkness?""Yes...""You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something, it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light... but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, Darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker and give me a jar of it. Can you... give me a jar of darker darkness, professor?"Despite himself, the professor smiles at the young effrontery before him. This will indeed be a good semester."Would you mind telling us what your point is, young man?""Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with and so your conclusion must be in error...."The professor goes toxic. "Flawed...? How dare you...!""Sir, may I explain what I mean?"The class is all ears."Explain... ohhhhh, explain..." The professor makes an admirable effort to regain control. Suddenly he is affability himself. He waves his hand to silence the class, for the student to continue."You are working on the premise of duality," the Christian explains. "That for example there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science cannot even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism but has never seen, much less fully understood them. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, merely the absence of it." The young man holds up a newspaper he takes from the desk of a neighbor who has been reading it. "Here is one of the most disgusting tabloids this country hosts, professor. Is there such a thing as immorality?""Of course there is, now look...""Wrong again, sir. You see, immorality is merely the absence of morality. Is there such thing as injustice? No. Injustice is the absence of justice. Is there such a thing as evil?" The Christian pauses. "Isn't evil theabsence of good?"The professor's face has turned an alarming color. He is so angry he is temporarily speechless.The Christian continues, "If there is evil in the world, professor, and we all agree there is, then God, if He exists, must be accomplishing a work through the agency of evil. 1 What is that work God is accomplishing? The Bible tells us it is to see if each one of us will, of our own free will, choose good over evil."The professor bridles. "As a philosophical scientist, I don't view this matter as having anything to do with any choice; as a realist, I absolutely do not recognize the concept of God or any other theological factor as being part of the world equation because God is not observable."The Christian replies, "I would have thought that the absence of God's moral code in this world is probably one of the most observable phenomena going, Newspapers make billions of dollars reporting it every week! Tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?""If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do.""Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?"The professor makes a sucking sound with his teeth and gives his student a silent, stony stare."Professor. Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?""I'll overlook your impudence in the light of our philosophical discussion. Now, have you quite finished?" the professor hisses."So you don't accept God's moral code to do what is righteous?""I believe in what is - that's science!""Ahh! SCIENCE!" the student's face splits into a grin. "Sir, you rightly state that science is the study of observed phenomena. Science too is a premise which is flawed...""SCIENCE IS FLAWED..?" the professor splutters.The class is in uproar. The Christian remains standing until the commotion has subsided. "To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, may I give you an example of what I mean?"The professor wisely keeps silent.The Christian looks around the room. "Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's mind?" The class breaks out into laughter. The Christian points towards his elderly, crumbling tutor. "Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's mind... felt the professor's mind, touched or smelt the professor's mind? No one appears to have done so." The Christian shakes his head sadly. "It appears no one here has had any sensory perception of the professor's mind whatsoever. Well, according to the rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science, I DECLARE that the professor has no mind."The class is in chaos.The Christian sits.

6 people to do the quiz:
anyone who bothers... u can't copy it from my blog tho.. so go to joan's if u wanna do it... should be SOMEWHERE there...

NYE 2006

Unfortunately, cause of some internet problems, im gonna hafta make this REALLY short...

it's 5 hours to the New Year and i don't really fel different..

By the way, i can't do the quiz joanie... not today anywaes.. hehe...

I'm gonna haf a party at my house tomorrow, so i probably can't blog...

And the taiwan quake isn't making things easier for me either...

so yes... woe, my life is full of misery...

and how lucky SOME people are that THEIR computers work 24/7...

*cue dramatic sigh*

whoops!

A few things to start with... Firstly, im SORRY for the non-blogging for approx. 5 days.. my computer just went KA-bazooka! (that's steph language for 'it died.')

Im starting to think that my computer hates me.. very badly.. why, you ask?
Well... first my keyboard breaks down on me, then my user account has a problem and now im blogging from the main family account..

why do you have so many computer accounts then, you ask? well, my stupid BROTHER wanted to have HIS own account WITH the administrative rights(meaning only can download things in HIS account..) and all the BAHOOZA.. and i needed a place for all my work.. and my rpg games... so i gots my own account...and then there's the family account.. if you come to my house, you will understand..

that's a whole LOT to digest, you comment.. firstly.. (whoever you are..) i would like to kick you for talking too much.. then i will have to agree with you..

it's tough being in a family where there are 2 electronic geniuses and NOT enough room... it's also tough where the computer prefers your annoyingly sickening brother and 'OMG! the blasted thing is working again!' phrase is said whenever said brother uses the stupid machine.. Of course when you use it, it hangs.. or spoils.. or becomes so incredibly frustrating u wonder why your friends HAVE to go chat online at MSN and not talk to a bored, annoyed ol' you on the phone or something..

it's also tough when all you wanna do is sit back, relax and read some fan fiction and maybe drop a few tears because your life can't be as perfect as the characters in the stories... and ALL the stories happen to published.. (ooo.. guess where??) on the INTERNET!! oh whoopie, joy and fun!

Anyways, there's something wrong with my signature, so i'll probably try to get joan to help.. or something.. hehe...

I had the Sec 4 Farewell thingy yesterday... it was incredibly fun, only i missed the speech-giving part when i was helping ms sia with the charcoal (which caused my hands to become disgustingly black...) Melissa also missed it cuz she was helping too.. poor thing.. at least i experienced it LAST year... mel only has two more year to experience it or else she's gonna miss ALOT... hehe..

Anywaes, i got this watermelon thingy from Cheeri which i think is soo cute! And mel got this bear which eye dropped... hahah.. that part was funny...

The extremely 'high'est part of the day was when ping and i were in the combine room and we were learning the song 'Lean On Me' and we started doing stupid actions.. i was feeling soo high that time.. like i had just take marijuana or pot..

whoo! ok! that's it! i hope jannah comes online soon so i can get the pictures from her..

Fee, fii, Fo Fum!

lalala! It's 2 days to christmas! And i'm at Jannah's house doing some sec 4 thingy.. only.. im not doing it.. im blogging.. yay me! i shall make this short.. because i feel bad already for not helping.. so here's some advice...

Have anything you wanna say? who cares?? i certainly don't!

Have anything you wanna do? den go do it! no one's stopping you!

see? it's not that bad.. GOOD advice! ((:

MOVED. (:

I have changed my address... for all those who find it annoying, im sorry! my old blog is no longer accesible.. but all the old posts are here.. JUST so you know...

And i did the skin myself.. ole!

Of course, using paint, and not photoshop... so i think it came out pretty good...

and this is gonna be a short, short post.. cuz i still haven't tweaked my blog enough, and i need to 'advertise'...

so i shall bid you adeu, and continue writing later!

fare thee well! :D

A continuation...

Just so you know... i don't normally reply taggs on my blog entry... it just happens that im too lazy to tagg reply on my tagboard...

And on to my Japan Trip (Part 2 - Tokyo [drift] ) ((:

11th Dec

Do you know that Bullet Train is kinda over-rated? I mean... I thought it was gonna be real cool and all... but, it turned out to be just like riding an MRT... only difference is that when you look out the window, ur going REAL fast....i guess that's the whole point of it anywaes... I bought UNO cards (which cost 1000 yen...) and we played it on the train..We being me, jessie, hannah and joyce (from sax).. Hannah was always the sway one because she ALWAYS (almost always) had to draw 2 or 4 or MORE... depending on how many 'draws' we threw out.. and she was staring at Joyce with this really pissed off face and she went 'WHAT is your PROBLEM??!' haha! very funny lah...

We went shopping at this temple place... at first, they said to turn left cuz that's where the shopping place was... but me, jessie and elaine went straight and into this OTHER place which turned out to have many bargains! And we bought lots of stuff... then we REALISED that we went to the WRONG place! Oh well... the other place was a tourist site... obviously, it means everything would be CHAO expensive... so.. good choice us!

12th Dec

Disneyland DAY!!! I spent it with Jessie... and we went on SOO many rides.. (half of which were quite NOT-worth going..) i mean.. the animation in DISNEY is fantastic! Especially the Winnie the Pooh ride... but still... i think im big enough for the more thrilling rides.. (:
I finally had the guts to ride the Big Thunder Mountain.. which turned out to be NOTHING... and space mountain was closed, splash mountain was gonna be TOO cold.. and the mini-coaster thingy was well... mini la.. Other mentionable rides were the go carts (which were fun cuz i got to improve my driving skills..) and the skyjets...(cuz.. they were in the SKY! o.0) Wheeee!! But the night was COLD... and my CAMERA died on me.. so this was the Day My Camera Died on Me (:

13th Dec

I had an exchange with Katakura High... Kinda uneventful except for a couple of unmentionable things that i found embarrasing and funny at the same time...And OHH the feeling that me and mel had when we had to do a combine piece with the band... and EVERYONE else was playing and we were staring at the score wide-eyed, open-mouthed and BLURRED. What made it 'better' was that the guy supposedly helping us was NOT helping AT all, and we were standing RIGHT in front of the Conductor... as in.. everyone in front of us was sitting and playing and we were there just.. killing ourselves... Mel's (sorta) exact words were "Digs Mud Hole" which i replied with "Can I join you?"

14th Dec

Today was like saving the best for last! Tokyo DisneySea had to be the BEST place I'd been to in Tokyo! The BEST rides were the 'Indiana Jones' ride and the 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' even though the latter was kinda a rip-off... i think it deserved credit cuz it made me freak out even before i sat on the ride itself.. I really don't know what words there are to describe the day... i spent $300 that day... even had to borrow money from ping cuz i was out of CASH! And the (kinda) worst part was that everyone got a chip plushie playing games except me!! I even helped Ping get one! And i couldn't even help myself... ohh well... haha... the section even helped me play to get a plushie for me... i feel soo grateful! haha! It was raining that night... and the temperature DROPPED soo much... even 4 hot packs couldn't quench my coldness!!! Then eunice gave me some banana chewing gum that's soo delicious, even dione could smell it from where she was sitting (beside me la..) and i slept REALLY late that night packing my luggage... (while dione was snoozing peacefully on HER bed..)

15th Dec, I went home.. aww... sad sad... real sad... And u can ask Tiara and Joan how much I miss Japan.. they'll tell you for sure.. ((:

Japan Rocks! And as a tribute to Tokyo.. these are the lyrics for Tokyo Drift!

I wonder if you know
How they live in Tokyo
If you see me then you mean it
Then you know you have to go
Fast and furious (Drift, Drift, Drift)
Fast and furious (Drift, Drift, Drift)

[Repeat]

[Japanese verse]
Rasha ii, omachito sama
kenso mamiro konoma chinoenso
dama tamama ichii do itsu eoi de sikayju
miryu suruhudoni ko kana
Japan, Ichiban
Jump around sawchirono deban
Teriyaki Boyz in the place to be
he said intyaro kai in VIP

many many diamonds danglin
Bag full of money we stranglin
Hate me, fry me, bake me, try me
All the above cuz you can't get in
I don't want no puro buremu
Because muy professional
Make you, shake you, ketsu (Thank you!)
Haters take it personal

[Japanese verse]
like kakanada tai tets o now
drop it on lets go now na nachima mai nimits
o lets not chiki chima over wets go nets go tsuhilohilo
over every color esgo esgol ju waktu chunai niikro
new waksu itsukunai pingpoi

[Chorus]
I wonder if you know
How they live in Tokyo
If you see me then you mean it
Then you know you have to go
Fast and furious (Drift, Drift, Drift)
Fast and furious (Drift, Drift, Drift)

[Japanese verse]
HI. Wakashteruya Boyz.
ateyuma kitobas noise.
manshij kitemas indaghe tow banow gazmo
windemas beyshiku wasupplies de.
majmanchika abunai te.
ninjehu kenjahu dakido geisha
all on the rocks say karanosha

Should see me in the parking lot
7-11 is the spot
Fights with wings and shiny things
And lions, tigers, bears,
Oh my ride
We're furious and fast
Super sonic like JJ Phat
An' we rock cuz the wheels are fly
Can't be doubt with a baseball bat

[Japanese verse]
like kakaru a kiyo koto sa matata in
dey soki sayk yo ingosipta sh*to fokusai
tekimatzailo kwanzai fola kwanza fara daka
bumotosto dojidas
score four points from far east coast
to dosi sai watashi no kansito

[Chorus]I wonder if you know
How they live in Tokyo
If you see me then you mean it
Then you know you have to go
Fast and furious (Drift, Drift, Drift)
Fast and furious (Drift, Drift, Drift)

[Japanese verse]
ya, ichipa mayni chito kitong
kitas hito aylam tobi tobida
mueruyo sh*to bochi bochi na kuma nigi
dasusu kochi kochi eh hito a puro do resow machu
subetenu rekong mechakari mundantesha
fu guchaw chan fast an furious

It's gotta be the shoes
Gotta be the furs
That's why ladies choose me
All up in the news
Cuz we so cute
That's why we so huge
Harajuku girls know how i feel
They respect i keeps it real
Not a Chinaman cuz I ain't from China man
I am Japan man

[Girls Talking]
You see him come and go out of the black Benz SLR.
I wonder where he get that kind of money?
Don't worry about it. Lets Go

[Chorus]
I wonder if you know
How they live in Tokyo
If you see me then you mean it
Then you know you have to go
Fast and furious (Drift, Drift, Drift)
Fast and furious (Drift, Drift, Drift)

BACK for GOOD! (or at least till my NEXT trip..)

I miss Japan already!! DisneyLand, DisneySea and the Nagashima Spaland!!! 3 theme parks in all, 7 days of enjoyment and LOTS more friends, including seniors that I never knew could be SOO fun! Plus i learnt lots of stupid games.. hehe... like Black Magic and Bang Bang... and tricked Nicole and Dione with What's Next and Fuzzy Wuzzy.. lol! No one can believe the FUN i had... and i already feel like going back... Gek Teng told me on the plane that she wanted to go back, and we haven't ever reached S'pore yet...

Whoa... I'm SOO getting ahead of myself... i shall now give you a day by day EXCLUSIVE of what (I can remember) happened in japan..

1st Day (7th/8th Dec)

I went to the airport like almost one hour earlier.. so me, Kor, Mum n dad and Aunty Judy went to Burger King to eat... i ate chicken cheesesticks... After that we went to counter 7 and met the rest of the band and after checking-in our luggage and everything, i said bye to my family and went into the departure holding area..

In Nagoya, Japan

First thing I did when we got out of the plane was to check for signs of 'smoke'... u noe... the stuff that comes out of ur mouth when it's REALLY cold and you talk...or breathe.... anywaes there wasn't any.. meaning it wasn't cold enough... the weather was nice... gentle breeze... and the temperature was aircon-ish.. like i just stepped into a cold room...
We went sight-seeing to this garden place, then the Nagashima Spaland where i sat the 'White Cyclone' which was a friggin' scary rollar coaster that had SOO many sudden drops... i SCREAMED my lungs out.... i have a picture to prove it! Whee! For lunch, I ate rice and chicken with egg poured on it... simply Oishii!
Then we went to the hot springs place where we soaked our TIRED feet... ohh soo tired... haiz... the feeling was SOO SHIOKKsss...

We stayed at a resort.. 'Al Plaza Tsushima'... where there was 5-6 people in a room.. and ONE common bathroom which was supposed to be shared amongst 84 of us plus teachers...but the trombonists had a bathroom in our room!! Which means we needn't share with the rest!!! it was soo lucky!!

I think I'm really lucky, cuz firstly, I got the resort room with the bathroom, and then in Tokyo, Me and Dione (my roomie) got the bigger room then almost everyone else... hehe... im lucky...

9th Dec

Today was Kor Jerome's wedding (Which i missed la..) and instead, I had a concert exchange with Meridian Junior College (S'porean) and Aichi Meiden High School (Japanese)! We sang amazing grace and played Toccata, Rosa and Choo Choo... Including combination pieces of Pirates and Christmas Festival with MJ and then combining ALL 3 bands with Hands Across the Sea..

10th Dec

Today was my exchange with Aichi Meiden!!! It was SOOO funn!! I met this trombonist called 'Ayako' and she was SOO kawaii!! We ate this traditional Japanese food.. with rice balls and rice cakes.. it was alright.. 'aquired taste'... omg!!! that day was SUPER DUPER funness!!! And we talked about lots of things... and exchanged email addresses!!! Then we had combine with their conductor Mr. Yito (or Ito..not sure..) and the translator/assisstant conductor Mr. Kajiiyama (again.. not sure of spelling..) The conductor was SOO funny and interesting... while playing toccata, we have to imitate church organs...

on the 11th (Monday) We took a bullet train to Tokyo (bullet trains are SUPER fun!) where my second half of the trip commenced... and i shall continue later.. for now, I am feeling tired...

TBC...

Oh Joy, Oh fun.

This is the entry i promised... the one i would give before I need to leave for my trip... technically, it's 14hrs and 14 mins to my trip... but im leaving for the airport in about 10 hours..

I'm TOO excited.. i can barely contain myself... after this, I'll prob go pack my on-board backpack...

I wanna thank Joan and Tiara and ShuYin and (ermm.. Mel, I guess..) for their really touching words... haha... it's great to know that people'll miss you... really great feeling... lol..

And after Joan mentioned me on her blog, I felt like crying...haiz... ok.. abit TOO emo.. but still, I realised how blessed I am that people I care for, care about me too... and I shall place down names of people I'll mis.. EVEN though it IS only a 7-day trip... hehe...

Nothing much to say today actually... just blogging for the sake of blogging... i decided to give the class blog a makeover... afterall, it was looking WAYY too boring already.. it's not MUCH of a makeover... just a refresher... and i added a hit counter... so that i can keep track of people coming and going... WHOO...
