I had the weirdest dream.
It seemed like one i've dreamt of before.
And in the dream, i knew that too.
So i handled the situation in the dream differently.
And had a different ending.
Flying Goods Vehicles and really weird stuff.
Maybe I THINK i've dreamt of it before cos it was the dream itself.
But here's what i'm certain, i was a little off balance between dreamland and reality when i woke up.
Took me sometime to realise the big disappointment.

Sis is coming home soon, with Mum and Grands.
Not going to reveal the date due to some individuals.
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

Arnold Van Der Walt's Notes

Very INTERESTING CONVERSATION

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy speaks to his Classroom the Problem Science has with GOD
He asks one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD Good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him..
Most of us would attempt to Help Others who are ill.
But GOD didn't. How is this GOD Good then ? Hmm ?
( Student is silent )

Professor : You can't answer, can you ?
Let's start again, Young Fella.
Is GOD Good ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor : That's right.
Tell me son, is there evil in this World ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ?
And GOD did make Everything. Correct ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?

( Student does not answer )

Professor : Is there Sickness ? Immorality ? Hatred ? Ugliness ?
All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?

( Student has no answer)

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you.
Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD ?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD ?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD ?
Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter ?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist.
What do you say to that, son ?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes. Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat ?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold ?
Professor : Yes..
Student : No sir. There isn't.

( The Lecture Theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events )

Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat,
a Little Heat or No Heat.
But we don't have anything called Cold.
We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as Cold.
Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.
We cannot Measure Cold.
Heat is Energy.
Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

( There is Pin - Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student : What about Darkness, Professor ? Is there such a thing as Darkness ?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness ?
Student : You're wrong again, sir.
Darkness 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 ?
In reality, Darkness isn't.
If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you ?
Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is Flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how ?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality.
You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD.
You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought.
It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
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 : just the Absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor, do you Teach your Students that they Evolved from a Monkey ?
Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir ?

( The Professor shakes his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument is going )

Student : 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 not a Scientist but a Preacher ?

( The Class is in Uproar )

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever Seen the Professor's Brain ?

( The Class breaks out into Laughter )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever Heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, Touched or Smelt it ? . . .
No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that
you have No Brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir ?

( The Room is Silent. The Professor stares at the Student, his face unfathomable )

Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . .
the Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
That is all that Keeps Things Moving & Alive.

Enjoyed the Conversation ? . . . and if so . . .
you'll probably want your Friends / Colleagues to enjoy the same . . . won't you ? . . .
Forward them to Increase their Knowledge . . .or FAITH

It turned out later that the student is Albert Einsten

'Life's complicated' that may not be the right words but they're the first that come to mind.

Now that's an understatement.

There's never things we can fully understand. Even if we're living on the last few drops of life.

FAMLIY. FRIENDS. ETC.

Why do people do those things they do?

Why do some people feel more than others?

How I can feel the greatest of feelings but others, crap.

Look different from others?

How one can cause a ripple of unforeseen effects from their course of action.

How some people can fully empathize another and another oblivious to one's feelings.

Where people are loved more than others.

People doing those things they do.

The funny thing, time.

Slipping through our fingers.

How I can actually waste precious seconds writing this post.

STOP.

A Day Late- Anberlin

So let me get this straight
Say now you loved me all along
What made you hesitate
to tell me with words what you really feel?
I can see it in your eyes
you mean all of what you say
i remember so along ago, see I felt that same way
Now we both have separate lives and lovers (and lovers)
Insignificantly enough
we both have significant others

Only time will tell
Time will turn and tell

We are who we were when
Could have been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
we are who, we are who we were when

Who knew what we know now
Could have been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when

But thoughts they change
and times they rearrange
I don't know who you are anymore
Loves come and go and this I know
I'm not who you recall anymore
But i must confess
you're so much more than I remember
Can't help but entertain
these thoughts, thoughts of us together

We are who we were when
Could have been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could have been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when

My day late friend

So let me get this straight
All these years
and you were no where to be found
And now you want me for your own
But you're a day late
and my love, she's still renowned

We are who we were when
Could have been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could have been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when

We are who we were when
Could have been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could have been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when (fade out)

It's been quite some time since i've updated. Not that i don't have the time to, but it's more like i don't feel like it. Heh.

PANIC!

I went to school at 7:47am today for CLB Listening. I couldn't find the class! I thought everyone was already seated and couldn't answer their phones, which were in their bags. I was running around the school. Until i saw Mr Teo outside the examination hall giving last minute tips to the students taking their MCQs today. We went to the private candidates room, to ask the invigilator. Funny thing was, he told me to show him my entry proof. And there it said, CLB Listening was at 2pm. Urgh. I panicked for nothing. I even tried calling Ms Chu and Neil. :/

Yesterday was...

JOSHUA'S & WAI SAN'S BIRTHDAY!

It was supposed to be placed in the Parade Square, but it was raining. :( So we put it at the second level open space. Had to pin the papers down with shoes, iPods, books umbrellas etc. cos they were flying around.

Happy Birthday Mate!

Daniel at Jenn's place. He's too preoccupied with Need for Speed Carbon City on Jenn's PSP to notice Rocket Boy eating the back of his head, let alone me taking this picture. Heh. We walked around aimless at Vivo after.

Ms Chu, now officially Mrs Lee, was great. Few people from our class went, kinda expected cos its plopped in the third quarter of the Os. The first wedding i've been to. Having to take the MRT to Choa Chu Kang, then an LRT to Jelapang(?), we finally reach the humble building of the Covenant Evangelical Free... erm... Church.
