Memoirs of a Geisha

Monday, October 8th, 2007

Alright, I know it’s a 2005 movie, but I just downloaded it recently(Yesterday), alright, moment of truth. I don’t like the movie at all, not that the movie is bad…I just didn’t like the way they portray women…I wanted to stop watching the movie several times but I decided to finish it anyway…Having watched the movie, I deleted it ~immediately~. *sigh* What a memoir…

    Isaiah 64:6

   
   
       All of us have become like one who is unclean,  and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;  we all shrivel up like a leaf,  and like the wind our sins sweep us away.


    Romans 3:23

   
   
     For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,   

Genesis 6:5
   
   
The LORD saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.   

Look at the world today and see how sin is making its way.

   

Love as suggested by the Greece.

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

Pr Palan(An international speaker) brought up the topic of BGR in youth this evening, and to tell you the truth, I learned a lot from him. As we know, BGR is commonly referred to a relationship shared by a boy and a girl. Typical right? Well, since the essence of BGR is none other than love, let us see how the Bible teaches us about love. Please do attend a session on the 20/10/07 in RGBC for the conclusion of BGR. Your life will never be the same as ever. I’m serious.

Greek

Greek distinguishes several different senses in which the word love is used. For example, ancient Greek has the words philia, eros, agape, storge and xenia.
However, with Greek as with many other languages, it has been
historically difficult to separate the meanings of these words totally.
At the same time the ancient Greek text of the Bible has examples of the verb agapo being used with the same meaning as phileo.

Agape (ἀγάπη agápē) means love in modern day Greek. The term s’agapo means I love you in Greek. The word agapo is the verb I love. It generally refers to a "pure", ideal type of love rather than the physical attraction suggested by eros. However, there are some examples of agape used to mean the same as eros. It has also been translated as "love of the soul".

Eros (ἔρως érōs) is passionate love, with sensual desire and longing. The Greek word erota means in love. Plato
refined his own definition. Although eros is initially felt for a
person, with contemplation it becomes an appreciation of the beauty
within that person, or even becomes appreciation of beauty itself. Eros
helps the soul recall knowledge of beauty, and contributes to an
understanding of spiritual truth. Lovers and philosophers are all
inspired to seek truth by eros. Some translations list it as "love of
the body".

Philia (φιλία philía), means friendship in modern Greek, a dispassionate virtuous love, was a concept developed by Aristotle.
It includes loyalty to friends, family, and community, and requires
virtue, equality and familiarity. Philia is motivated by practical
reasons; one or both of the parties benefit from the relationship.

Storge (στοργή storgē) means affection in modern Greek; it is natural affection, like that felt by parents for offspring.

Xenia (ξενία philoxenía),
means hospitality in modern Greek, was an extremely important practice
in ancient Greece. It was an almost ritualized friendship formed
between a host and their guest, who could previously be strangers. The
host fed and provided quarters for the guest, who was only expected to
repay with gratitude. The importance of this can be seen throughout
Greek mythology, in particular Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey.

A post-blog

Friday, October 5th, 2007

I know I should have posted this fun-time experience yesterday…I was too tired okay! LOL! Anyway, what’s the fun about? Alright, I went for newspaper collection together with my church mates and it was so much fun. I mean newspaper collection has always been fun. Though, it’s not really my style…cause I don’t do this kind of stuff…But hey, I guess that’s where you remove that crown of yours. Haha. Anyway, we covered the whole building(pearl in paya terubong) within 2 hours. And of course, I mean 2 hours of non-stop collection from house to house. It was so much fun! I tagged along with Yi Wen and sean(her lil bro) for the first round, then serene(sharron’s sis) for the 2nd round and sharron for the third round. Where are all the guys when they’re needed most!? *sigh* pity poor Jason.

Having finished collecting, we went out for a not-so-late night supper and that’s where ms yi wen kena boiled XD. The waiter tried to pull a stunt by making a quick turn which turned out to be a disaster! A cup of hot teh spilled over ms yi wen…Thank goodness it’s just a fraction of it and not the whole cup.Aye aye, chao for now ;)

P.S Err…those who showed great interest in my not-so-interesting blog…I’m flabbergasted. But anyhow, I convey my thanks to ya’ll! ~.~ =D

A heart filled with smiles =D

*giggles* Reading the comments in the school magazine written by your most beloved friends is always the best thing to do ;) Today was a great day for me, although my dear girlfriend was missing in action XD. Well, after mastering the scales for G key, I finally managed to play ‘La Bamba’’s intro(viz bass part). Not that difficult afterall =D.

Oh and one little thing about me, I ~love~ spending time in the chapel alone.(Don’t look at me as if I’m a fanatic or a religious jerk!So am NOT). It’s a place of solace and it’s a great spot for you to contemplate over anything in general =D, I came to learn about the elements of catholic in the chapel as well, viz the altar, the place where the bread and the wine are kept and the significance of it. Oh and one more thing, I’m developing a keen interest on angels(celestial beings) mentioned in the Bible ie Cherubim & Seraphim. I think they are really really pretty! Aww…how I wish I had spiritual eyes XD. I can imagine it ler…It’s really a beauty to behold! Allow the Holy Spirit to take charge of your imagination!(Of course, read the description of the angels in the Bible before trying to picture them) XD

I’m a young ADULT!

Ish! I’m not angry. I’m just annoyed by the fact that my mom still think of me as a young KID! Argh! I know I’ll forever be a BABY in her heart but…I mean I’m all grown up ler…I’ve been telling her numerous times already and I’ve proven to her that I’m so capable of thinking far better than she could have ever imagined…Aye…When can I ever GROW up in her perspective? Ish! Annoyed…

I’m doing Physics now, and surprisingly, I could solve! I mean not everything but I could solve! It’s a christopher’s anomaly.Haha. Thanks to my Physics sir, his encouragement, and his superb simulation! If I get an A- for STPM, I owe him a big time. I will cia him makan, I promise!

A plain day for me =D

Ugh!

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

Ugh, I was awakened early in the wee hours of the morning due to my stomach discomfort. I vomitted several times and I felt as if I was vomitting my intestines out…Ugh…After that, I went back to my sleep with my ‘cramped’ stomach. I was really in pain…I mean it.

Nevertheless, I went to school this morning, and the attendance was sure to be a pleasant one viz 7 ppl. During recess I decided to pay a visit to Mr Teoh’s office, since he was beckoning students to visit him. We had a heart to heart talk, and be affirmed, that he’s one heck of a GOOD teacher! I could see the heart that he has for his students and I’m really touched. He encouraged me a lot! If I don’t get an A- for STPM, I’m going to feel guilty…

I need to be off now, I need sleep, I’m not feeling well, please pray for me? Specifically my stomach discomfort? I convey my thanks to you.

Ocean of fire scorched me…

Alright, I’ve finished listening to Ocean of Fire! Let’s see, track no 2 viz Critical Strike,track no 7 viz Neo Classical Nonsense and track no 10 viz Topsy Turvy are a few of my favorites. Amazing shredding! Oh my gosh…Among the three, I love Topsy Turvy the most XD. The album is worth the penny, RM15! Support our local band which has an international standard ;) Awesome!

O.o I received my school mag when I realized that I’m labelled as the ‘karate specialist’?! O.o ‘The eye of the game’?! Oh my gosh, it’s exaggerating man…Ahem, allow me to amend the so called printing ‘error’. I’m NOT a karate specialist whatsoever and I have no desire of becoming the ‘eye’ XD LOL! That’s it for now, ;)
