i love sundays.
hah.

the LG lesson yesterday was about forgiveness.
the topic that i really like!
haha soooo ivan touched on the fundamental stuff,
like to forgive others, you must first learn to love them.
even if you dislike that person, it doesn't matter.
because loving someone doesn't mean that you gotta like that someone,
which makes things a little easier for us.
hate the sin, but not the sinner!
love your neighbour as yourself: forgive them as you would forgive yourself.
anyway returning hate for hate doesn't cancel out hate, it multiplies more of hate.
just think: hate + hate = 2 hate
though there's one thing that can break the vicious cycle of hate.
and that is love. <3

i realised that holding a grudge against people makes your life more miserable.
it makes you bitter, and it hardens your heart.
and i also realised that by forgiving those who've wronged you or whatever,
your life is a happier place.
and its true!
i've learnt it through experience so i should know.
everytime i forgive someone its like as though a weight as been lifted off my shoulders.
cliche as it sounds, but yeah.
and this joy brightens up your mood significantly.
though you gotta pray and walk close to God.
which will make the process of forgiving much easier.

i didn't really get the sermon,
though it was about giving to the Lord.
i suppose that means in the form of tithes, support etc.
to help the church and missionaries out there.
speaking of missionaries, i wonder how the korean hostages are.
though there's no news about them from the taliban,
and the 330pm deadline has long passed.
OMG i hope they're alright..
but i guess whatever the outcome, its God's will.
if they have been killed, the taliban didn't get anything out of it.
because the koreans would have won the battle as they'd be in heaven.
nyah nyah.

for some reason, i really miss my church friends.
like the times where we'd hang out at wen's or my house..
or having late-night supper at the near-by prat shop.
i just miss those times...

okay from now on, i am going to do some serious pia-ing.
i know i've said this before, and it never worked.
but this time, IT WILL.
i don't care if i forego my beauty sleep,
i don't care if i start to resemble a panda.
i don't care if i fall sick,
i don't care if i become a weirdo.
i'm doing this for the sake of myself, and for the sake of lahu.
with God's grace, He'll bring me through this,
and it'll be a bonus if i don't turn out looking like a freak.
I DON'T CARE, I WILL GET MY 6 POINTS!

i don't want roller blading to end!
this is so sad, the only thing that i look forward to every week,
and its going to END.
ahwell.
at least i got something out of it.
at least i can now redeem myself at roller blading!
east coast park watch out!
i'll return with a vengence. :D
