思念
夜深人静的时候，我望着窗外的夜景，脑袋一片空白，胡思乱想。
让人停滞不前的有三样东西，第一是尊严，第二是记忆，第三是感情。放不下的是尊严，恐惧是记忆的一种，爱着是因为感情。六年，让我有所保留的不过如此。

Care
Something must have gone wrong somewhere,
He left you when you are most unaware.
You are still finding out the reason why,
but that is the end of a relationship, with no repair.
In no time you are driven into despair,
He is just too good of a boy to compare.
You asked “why am I
the only one staying?”
And I can find the answers nowhere.
You look pretty much jaded every day,
Like your soul is always elsewhere.
I try my best to really comfort you,
Thinking of Bible verses that I can share.
You asked God, “why are You so unfair,
to let me suffer a pain I can't bear”.
“But that's pretty much okay”, He said,
Cos one day you'll see the miracles He prepared.
Till then, my friend, do take care.
Every night I will keep you in my prayer.
Tell me if you need someone to talk to,
And I promise I'll always be there.

千寻的心声
/*特将此文献给心灵需要休息的朋友们.*/
我开始害怕，身边所熟悉的人原来如此丑陋。我看见最基本的贪婪，在所有人的虚伪的学历，年长，时尚；被隐藏了起来。这世界上，原来有那么多的好人是坏人；而坏人还是坏人。
魔法油屋的规则是那么的简单-不做工的统统都要变成猪。最简单的道理，却是最残酷的事实，而有些人则愿意被残酷的道理折服。小黑煤工啊！我不是来抢饭碗的，我会好好的干活，我不要变成猪！
爸妈，你们还好吗？
亲爱的河神啊，你看你那肮脏的身子，臭气凌人，多久没冲凉了？哦！都忘了，没有人愿意帮你洗刷身体。他们丧失的不是道德，而是世界给他们都戴上了眼镜。没关系，让我来，拔出那根木筷，怒吼吧！周围的每个人都要见证：“全世界最肮脏的东西是文明”.
原来苦难带来的是要洗涤我本来就已经干净的心灵。无奈红色的尘子太多，沉淀在肩膀带来了负担也遮蔽了心窗。无面人啊，不要迷惑，不要害怕；定义你脸蛋的不是世界，是上帝。
白龙啊，在那里见过你？不要走捷径，我会好好跟汤婆说的。你的名字很重要，它就是你，你就是它，你们共同的地方就是我们俩的记忆。你不要害怕，我会替你顶罪的；因为也有人替我顶了罪。
我不再畏惧，即使结束了也会有开始；时间的隧道中，我紧握着手你的手，任由你带我飞翔。
我会拿真心和你兑换，伤害我，你理亏；善待我，扯平。我永远都赚。我真正发现，这世界唯一的致富方法就是将心比心。我不怕你伤害我；见证你的愚蠢，不过是让我再一次有理由和你交朋友。我会用最天真的方式原谅你。人性本善，不是吗？
握一下手和拍一下手，见面还是朋友。
然后，我看见彩虹因我的赤字之心而更加绚丽。
我叫千寻。
感谢宫崎骏，导了一个这么好的电影。此文是看了这篇文章后，有感而发。

十年
光辉岁月，岁月如歌，如歌如梦，如梦初醒。
十年之前，我初中一，参加迎新会；十年之后，我大四，最后一次参加迎新会，就要毕业了。
十年之前，我认识了两个要好的朋友；十年后我们已经分道扬镳。
十年之前，我认识了两个要好的朋友；十年后我们已经分道扬镳。
十年之前，我的天空是蓝色的，十年之后，蓝色是我的天空。
十年之前，我围绕着足球跑遍全场，十年之后，我围绕着地球给别人捧场。
十年之前，开口就可以要饭要钱；十年之后，开口要饭都要钱。
十年之前，我喜欢一个人，十年后，我喜欢自己一个人。
十年之前的我－年幼无知；十年后的我 －无知。
岁月能够带来的磨练、摧残、滋润; 它恶毒的破坏，却也是最好的良药。
而狗狗它说，狗生十年古来稀；一生奉献，别无所求。
还是那一句老话: 人身不如意之事十之八九，回珍惜剩下的一二，就可以笑看人生了。
十年后，你认识我吗？
十年后，你记得我吗？
捎一封信笺，用时光机把信寄到十年后的自己，问候那个33岁的男人，近来可好？

那些年
献我一生挚爱-王家三公主
他和她见面，纯粹是个偶然。他是外来的留学生，寄人篱下，到她的学校就读。初次见面，不过就是点头握手；打个招呼。他们很简单的认识，也是很普通的朋友。 直到有一天……
“喂，借我五毛钱！”
她那娇气，和一副理所当然的样子，还叫人难以拒绝。他从他的钱包里，掏出个五角的硬币，递给了她，然后潇洒的说：“五毛钱而已，不用还了！”她却说：“我一定还！”他不理她，只是淡淡地笑了。
第二天，她神秘兮兮的走都他面前，红着脸说：“把手伸出来吧！”他无可奈何，把手递給了她。她从口袋里，抽出一把糖果，然后放在他的手掌心上。“一颗糖5分钱，你昨天借我五毛，今天还你十粒糖！”他苦笑，接过那一大把糖果，然后有礼貌的说声谢谢。
这件事情，使他开始注意到她的存在。她的样貌，她的性格，她的脾气。
“你在家排行第三，又这么淘气，十足像个小公主，以后就叫你三公主吧！”
“你在家排行最小，所以你叫小太子！”
三公主，小太子，就是彼此的昵称。日久深情，他知道他已经喜欢上她。她为人善良，很天真,再复杂的事情在她眼中也比不过吃饭睡觉更加重要。她有时很可爱，有时很幼稚；但是她学习很认真，成绩也很好。淘气加上气质，总是那么有吸引力。他们彼此都没有再跃进一步，因为他害怕失去对方。每一天，他主动找她发信息，在学校里，偶尔见见面打声招呼。最多，也是找机会作弄他，然后摸摸她的头向她道歉。那种暧昧的感觉，总是那么的幸福。
终于，有一天，他鼓起了勇气，向她表白。
“如果有一天，我爱上了你，怎么办？”
“那就要看我的父亲同不同意我谈恋爱……”
“如果你父亲同意了呢？”
“还要看母亲……”
“那么如果母亲也不反对？”
“那就要等我考完高考……”
“考完高考，你父母都同意的话……”
“那么我们就开始吧！”
她终于答应了，但有很多前提。他知道她的家教很严格，从小就是一个乖乖女，不随便外出，自小就自立自律，也难怪功课成绩很好。加上她和他都是基督徒，所以能够找一个属灵的伴侣，最合适不过了。就这样，一个不算正式的恋爱，他却相信了。他很开心。恨不得她快点考完高考。每一天，他们还是一样的发短讯、谈天。有时候谈一下梦想，有时候谈一下未来。
“其实，我希望我会嫁给一个外国人，最好是蓝眼的，这样生下来的宝宝就有机会是蓝眼儿啊！然后最好是生个双胞胎！”
他看着她，无语的微笑。她递给他一本书，说道：“这本书借你吧！但是，喜欢我，就要祷告！”他接过书本，看了一眼，书名为《不再约会》。他心里头在想啊，如果喜欢你，却没有行动的话，祷告有用吗？
７个月的日子，很快就过去了。他永远不会忘记，他在她统考前，给她打了个电话。她平时一向都很早睡，唯独那一天，他看了看表，夜晚十一时正。他明白她迟睡是为了学习，心疼。
“怎么还没睡？方便说话吗？”
“没关系，能听见你的声音就好。”她平时不说肉麻的话，唯独这一次。他听了甜在心里，却担心她明天的考试。
“去睡吧！明天考试加油！”
简单的几句话，他哄她入睡。却不知道，这一通电话以后，太多的事情跟着变化了。三个星期的高考总算考完了，他想找她，却找不着。
她突然变得很冷漠。不再发短讯，不接电话。他很着急，想着是不是自己犯了什么错误，导致她不理睬他？就这样，一天，两天，三天，日复日，她都封起任何能够与她联系的管道。还以为可以轰轰烈烈的谈一场恋爱，却只是痴心幻想。他在想，难道她真的没有喜欢过他？他想起了那本《不再约会》，以前从来没有翻过，这次却一口气把它读完，总希望自己能够从那本书找出些什么线索。每天晚上，他少不了为她祷告，只因为这是她要他做的事情。
在他还没有弄清楚任何头绪之前，朋友告诉他，她已经拿到奖学金，出国留学了。他不惊讶，毕竟他知道她的成绩很好，只是很苦涩，因为这些事情她从来不告诉他。他托她的妹妹把书还了，却怎样也换不到见一次面的机会。
就这样，分隔两地，两人都有自己的生活，没有任何联系，偶尔在面子书上打个招呼，五年一晃过去了。《不再约会》让他从新思考，原来真爱要等待，才有价值。他相信他可以等她，也相信她不理睬他又她的苦衷和理由。他把这段感情保存起来，只等待酒淳的一天。
直到有一日，他看见电话簿里熟悉的号码，是她在美国的电话号码。他莫名地有了勇气，拨电过去。另一边，她接了。嘘寒问暖，听见那犹如熟悉的声音，还有点尴尬。五年了，大家都成熟，长大了吧？
“那个，想问你一个问题……”
“问吧…… ”
“你有喜欢过我吗？”
“有……”
“那为什么当初……”
“因为害怕我们会分手，我不想谈一个没有结局的恋爱……”
这是多年他想寻求的答案。那是一个又喜又悲的答案。喜是因为原来她有喜欢他，悲是有喜欢他却没有胆子和她在一起。原来，他是一个无法提供安全感的男生；他让喜欢他的女孩退缩。又或者，她真的想追求蓝眼帅哥，来段异国恋情，生对双胞胎？
他好想说，如果当初她勇敢一点，那么结局就可能很不一样了。当年，17岁，她是他的沈佳宜。
放下了电话，他痴呆了一下，脑子一片空白。六年前所有的回忆，在他面前完整地，详细地播放。
回过神来，他发现自己的眼眶早已充满了泪水。他用衣角试去泪水。痴心地合起双手祷告：“亲爱的天父，好好照顾她吧！”
但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。

一封给献身华教的老师们的信
致：献身华教的老师
老师们好。近来可好？（感觉这好像是千篇一律的范文）。今天突然感触良多，就想起了你们，所以特地写了一封信来问安。这信写给很多人，包括所有曾经教我的华文老师，也寄给和我一起共事过的华文老师。
我在新加坡国立大学已经进入第三年了。这学期我修读了一个华文的课程。在上这个课程的过程中，教授举办了一次的外游；那么在一个机缘巧合下，认识了另外一个教中文的中国籍教授。在巴士上和她聊天的时候，就谈到了中文的语法，谈到了“句子成分”。当我告诉他我学过什么是句子成分的时候，她愣住了。
这位中国教授非常惊讶，一个马来西亚的学生，竟然懂得什么是“主语、谓语、宾语”; 当然，我也非常惊讶她竟然会如此惊讶。想当年吴老师在黑板上写着大大“ 定主状谓补定宾补”的字眼，然后要求全班同学和她一起大大声地朗读；今天我竟然可以在一个中国籍教授面前感到骄傲呢！
这就让我联想到，认识这些语法和语素可能并不是很重要，因为它或许很少派上用场。但是，教学的过程中，把这些“知识”有效的转达给学生，是一门很深的学问。不管你喜欢与否，要在非大陆的国家学中文，是肯定会被打压的。很多人认为学华文是一种累赘，是一种负担，原因在于其它语言更能在市场上派上用场。比如说，你把什么是象形字，指事字解释给学生的时候，通常他们会一脸茫然的看着你。毕竟，在别的环境下，他们不可能会用上这些词儿。今天社会要求的都是“现炒现卖”，比起能够在国际上沟通的英语，中文确实没有那么“实际”。
我坚信，中文是世界上一个非常特别的语言。特别在于它背后的民族、文化和历史都有所牵连，而且都具有独特的价值。它像酒，需要慢慢的酝酿，细细的品尝。它的文学性质很强。比方说吧，你想要解释“山“为什么是如此形状的时候，你首先要告诉他什么事是象形字，然后要形容那个形状像三个连在一起的山峦。他必须想像，体会，理解，才能有效地明白。这个和刚才提到的“现炒现卖”是背道而驰的。
想要学好华文，就必须要多阅读。多阅读，浅白来说就是增加词汇的认识，减少语病错误。其实阅读可以让你学习更多的东西。比如说，多看古文，我们可以知道原来中文可以如此精简但不失其精髓；多读诗歌，我们可以明白语言竟然可以如此的有感染力和震撼力；多看散文和小说，不仅可以陶冶心情，也是作家以文笔改变读者思想的方法。你看这些，都需要时间培养，也需要时间体会，中文底子才会扎实，你才是一个会欣赏华文、有文学味道的“文人”。
重点是，周边的世界不来这一套。仍然记得以前学名句精化的时候，老师们都要求我们熟背作者，出处，注视和含义。现在不一样了，我听说现在的小学华文老师都列下１００个成语，然后要求学生们熟背，然后再背例句。这是多么的可悲啊！随便抓一个六年级的学生，问他什么是“老马识途”，他一定会告诉你那是用来容一个人很有经验；他们却不会知道老马为什么会认路，更不会明白成语就厉害于它的简短精要。对他们来说他们讨厌成语，因为背书是一件苦差啊！
想“学好华文”，使用的却是“速成法”，问题就大了。速成法不可能让你体会华文的美，在那么仓促的情况下你也不可能品出华文能带给你的味道，一切都往头脑里硬塞，这些都是短暂记忆，没过两下子就忘记了。忘记了就考不好，考不好就放弃了，恶性循环。
教育的方案也变了。老师，仍记得你们以前课后还有补习班，在下午的时候慢慢给同学讲解早上所教的课程。你们可以有很多时间，投入很多心思，说很多有趣的成语故事给我们听，让我们明白文字的背后所带给我们的道德价值和中华美德。我们听《聊斋》的故事、听《水浒》英雄事迹，沉闷的语文知识也可以很生动。我很庆幸教我华文的老师都很用心，愿意投入许多精神，不止让学生考好成绩，更是在真正的教华文，教做人。
现在可不同了，一个老师身兼数职，一下当新闻编辑，忙着出新闻稿；一下有什么大场面就被拉去当司仪，连运动会的裁判都当了。你看，每天早上6.45开始上课，傍晚五点才放工，还要忙着写教案，每周都有不同的开会，还有什么培训营，感觉当秘书多过当老师。时间没有了，累了，兼差做不好还要被“上头”骂，今天的华文老师可真难当啊!
话说那些都是兼差。教师真正的职责还是在教学。学生种类繁多，勤劳好学的，就深感庆幸；面对到那些调皮的懒惰的，有时还真头痛，只能尽量做到有教无类。以前，我还真不明白为什么韩老师对那“起立行礼老师早安”三部曲那么讲究，一个学生没有起立，全班重唱，直到满意为止。自从自己当上华文临教以后，才发现原来韩老师要竖立的是威严，而这个威信不是个人英雄主义，而是在以一个反射性的方法教学生尊师重道。到了大学，才明白老师的用心良苦，发现之前所学的都没有白费，也希望其它学生会明白老师的一番苦心啊！
俯首甘为孺子牛，这种伟大精神，就让我们自己引以为豪吧！毕竟，又有谁会了解当华文教师的苦楚呢？明天，当你看见顽皮的学生，就忍一口气吧，告诉自己：百年树人。我们卖的是精神，撒的是热诚，教的是为人，造的是灵魂。
愿一纸信笺能将我的祝福传送给大家。
祝

使徒系列 - 彼得
“鸡叫两遍以前，你会三次不认我”。这句话仍在他脑海中鸣荡。
他那为主燃烧的心，已经完全冷淡了。耶稣的门徒？这个名号可响， 但不见耶稣的日子，让他觉得一切都是浮云。
况且，他竟诅咒自己的上帝，在庭院中，三次否认了他认识耶稣。一个永远无法赦免的罪。
去捕鱼吧！
拉了平时的好兄弟，大家重复旧业，上渔船出海了。可是那一夜，大家都没有收获。天，很黑。
突然，站在岸上，有一个人喊道：“孩子们,你们没有鱼吧？”
它们只能回答：“没有……”
那人又说：“你们把网撒在船的右边，就会捕到了。” 他们就把网撒下，竟拉不上来，因为鱼很多。
瞬时间，大家想起了以前，因为一开始的时候，也是耶稣要他们把网撒下的。那时的记忆多好啊！一起跟谁他，听他讲道，看他医病，看他驱鬼，还有让人从死里复活……多不胜数的奇迹。他们记得他所说的一切，也信他所说的一切……唯独他说他要死里复活，大家还是半信半疑。
彼得突然醒悟了，不顾一切，从船跳进海里面，游向岸边，为了就是和耶稣见面。
不一会儿，大家都上岸了。他们一上岸，就看见有一堆炭火，上面放着鱼，还有饼。想起了耶稣的最后晚餐，那个为他们而舍得身体和宝血。
耶稣对他们说：“来吃早饭吧。”
但没有一个门徒敢问他：“你是谁？” 因为他们都知道是主。
大家吃完，耶稣就问彼得：“西门，你爱我胜过这些吗？”
低下头，彼得回答：“主啊，我……喜欢你”
耶稣对他说：“那喂养我的小羊吧！我再问你一次，你爱我吗？”
彼得仍然回答：“主啊……你知道我只是喜欢你……”
耶稣变对他说：“那好，牧养我的羊！我再问你一次，约翰的儿子西门，你喜欢我吗？”
彼得羞愧了。他之所以羞愧，是因为他曾经拍他的胸口自认说他不会否认主，但他却做到了。这回，他哪里还敢再说他爱主？对于上帝的博爱，他根本无地自容，所以，两次的回答，他只能回答“我喜欢你”，而不敢说“我爱你”。
面对全能的主，彼得说：“主啊，你知道一切，你知道我喜爱你……”
耶稣听了，就和蔼的对他说：“喂养我的羊。一个礼拜前，在黎明时分你三次否认我的名，今天的黎明时分，我已经让你三次宣称我的名。你赌咒并起誓否认，我公议让你颂赞。从今以后，要好好看顾我得羊儿。记住，我与你们同在，直到永远。”
彼得 - 希伯来文诠释为 “石头” - 从一块不起眼的顽石，变成教会的房角石。这就是救赎的恩典，能够把诅咒变为祝福。

使徒系列 － 保罗
他被带到园庭，面对的都是那些伪君子。他没有惧怕过，他正是要痛快地把这些人臭骂一顿。
“你说我到底那里说错了？”
“你是灵命领袖，却自认高人一等，就是有错。”
“我并不认那有错！”
“说，那小孩，可不可以传福音？”
“那小孩？还没接受装备呢，怎么能传福音？”
“谁说必须接受训练才能传福音？福音的定义是什么？”
“福音是上帝的好消息，告诉我们耶稣为我们而死，让我们得永生。”
“那如果那个小孩告诉别人耶稣为他而死，让他得永生，那他算不算在传福音？”
“这……”
“这都是你们的错。自己认为已经学会所有圣经的律法，自认清高，才有资格传福音；要知道，上帝的恩典是不需要任何资格的。你这么做，是猥亵了上帝的恩典。”
“你是谁？竟敢说我猥亵上帝的恩典！我可是堂堂的一个长者，接受了数十年的神学教育！你竟敢用这样的态度和我说话？”
“那你又知道我是谁？”
“你是谁？”
“害怕我是谁了？”
“你到底是谁？”
“不要惧怕我的名，乃要惧怕给予我新名字的名。我以前叫扫罗，精通所有文章和律法，杀害你所杀害的基督徒。现在我的名是保罗 － 乃是耶稣基督所给的。”
说完，站起就走。
威风凛凛的，没有人可以反驳他，因为真理和他同在。
人就是势力眼，看的都是身份地位。就连传福音行奇迹都还要看辈分和来历。他们不知道，最有身份地位的那个，早已经废除这些了。
只有他的名，才能人人平等。

福杯满溢
他们俩好不容易才在一起，结婚了。
他们的婚礼简陋，没有亲朋戚友，没有豪华的 酒店，纯粹，是因为双方的家庭都不赞同这个婚礼。
没有家长的祝福，他们来到了神父的面前。
“你愿意娶她为你的妻子吗？照顾她，爱护她，无论贫穷还是富有，疾病还是健康，相敬相爱，不离不弃，永远在一起？”
“我愿意！”
他们殊不知道，在天堂却是举国欢庆，开了盛宴。有歌声，有欢呼，每一个天堂的居住者都在为这对新人雀跃。
“主啊，你在为他们倒酒吗？这酒太多了，就要溢出来了，停止倒酒吧！”
“这酒不会停，因为这杯子是特别的杯子。”
“是什么杯子？”
“福杯。”

暗示 - 暧昧
有一个故事很悲伤。 悲伤的让人觉得很正常。
故事很老套，围绕着一个男孩和一个女孩。男孩和女孩刚认识不久，但话却很投机。没多久，大家都混熟了，常常一起吃饭，一起学习。
有聚会的地方，就有他们俩的影子，别人眼中他们就是一对情侣；但他们的嘴巴却打死也不承认。他常常摸她的头，非常疼她，她也只允许他一个男孩摸她的头，让他疼爱。两个人都活在暗示当中，男的享受她给他的特权，女的享受他追她的感觉。
这种雄雌关系的互动，是哺乳动物的本性 - 男的要征服，女的要被征服。
然而，他没有向她表白，她也等他表白。就连单独在一起的时候，他们心中也没有意识要承认。他们很舒服的活在这种状态 - 因为很甜蜜。 一个小拥抱他就可以闻她的发香，一个打哈欠她就可以睡在他的怀抱。
或许男的还没有勇气来负责当情侣的责任，所以迟迟不敢表白，又或许女的在乎女生的矜持什么来着， 也不敢向前。因为说白了，两个人都不想退回普通朋友的关系。
那就是暧昧 - 肉体上的短暂的接触，却是心灵永久的期待。

Dreams

Everyone has dreams. Be it to be one of the Power Rangers when we are all young, or to be a *put in your ambition here* when we all grow up. It doesn’t really matter what your dreams are, as long as you believe in it. You know, you don’t even need to achieve it. Just let them be your dreams. Something that you can dream on.

It doesn’t really matter what your dreams are, as long as you believe in it. You know, you don’t even need to achieve it. Just let them be your dreams. Something that you can dream on.
Here is my wishlist.
1.Be a Professional Gamer
I have always wanted to be a professional
gamer. When I mean professional, I mean getting paid for that. It is a carreer.
Well, more like make a living with something I really like. There are world
championships for e-sports. They aint so common in SEA but in North America and
Europe they are. Imagine you are sitting on 1 of the 5 chairs, with your own
personal keyboard, mouse and headgears, controling your hero with all your
gadgets while the crowd can see how well you perform on the big big screen.
League of Legends. Oh. Every single teamfight, team save, tower push will
thrill the crowd. You are gonna make decisions wthin seconds, and every good
call of yours will lead to cheers from
the crowd. And yourself of course. Fast reactions, fast actions, fast fingers.
All these just show you are a quick witted guy. They are just like other
international sports games. You need to practise, and you need to deal with
pressure. How you behave is how far you gonna bring yourself. But this is one
of the dreams that will never come true. I guess.
2.Experience
the Winter
I have never touched a snowflake before.
Never. Even my mum had the chance to
experience it but not me. How much I wish that just one day, I can throw
away all the burdens and just go on backpack travelling. Have like 1 week of break and just immerse myself in snow. And
take good pictures of the snowy pine trees. Oh, snowball fight anyone?
3.Be a
pilot
To be honest, I had this dream because
being a pilot lets me travel for free. I
had this ambition sooo long ago. And the naïve(used to be) me thinks that it
would be awesome if my wife is an airhostess, then we can travel+work together.
How cool is that. Oh well. Dream and reality are always so far apart.
4. Be
in a state badminton team
This is a regret, not a dream I guess. Gave
up training 8 years ago just so that I have more time for other activities. But
now (like 8 years later) I find that I really have passion in badminton. But
its too late to train for competitive plays. Recreational maybe.
5.To
serve missionary in Kenya for 1 year.
This is the only dream that is still
achievable I guess. I do not know whether this is a call, but I think serving
missionary in Africa can really change me, or to be exact, humble me. Looking at how I am
such a netizen, even living without internet connection will kill me. So going
to Kenya is different. You deal with patients, and refugees. Those sick and
disabled will let me know how rich I am, and I ought to be contented. Dear
Lord, louder call please.
Here and then I do pick up new dreams, or
rather small goals. And along the way I do drop them off. Frankly I tell you,
dear readers, I have never achieved anything glorious. Nothing. But one thing I
am sure – through day dreaming, I do find values in me. And this process shapes
me. Sometimes I just think it is good to let your imagination go wild, though
after that you will still have to face the cruel reality.
Having that said, I’ve never worried about
my future, cos someone has already taken good care of it for me.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the
Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a
future” Jeremiah29:11
Rest assured plan. This is my wonderful
Lord. Dreams? I can dream, but it’s the Lord who's gonna make it for me.
In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD
determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9

写给男主角的信
亲爱的男主角：
你好。我是这部戏的编剧，也是出品人。这部戏的名字叫《人生》，是一部涉及上万人的一出片子。我投资了我所有的财产在这部戏上。这部戏很特别，因为你不仅是男主角，也是导演。
你听好 - 是我创造了你。没有编剧，就没有男主角的诞生。这部戏和别的戏不一样，因为它的道具和取景是世界万物。我的权利很大。虽然你是导演，但是是由我负责来写这部戏。故事的情节安排，都有我的手来亲自编写。
怎么？你认为你是我的傀儡吗？不是的，别忘记，你是这部戏的导演。很多事情，你必须自己做决定，因为我给你做决定的自由。就比如说，我安排给你演员-其中包括父母、兄弟姐妹、朋友等等，你要怎样和他们相处，是你的决定。虽然我决定谁进入你人生的这部戏，但如何和这些人相处，沟通，把这部戏演活了，仍然是你导演有的权利。
演戏的过程中，也许你会累，因为你又是导演，又是演员。过后你发现你竟然不能把这部戏演好。你犯了很多错- 哦，忘了告诉你，在这部戏里边，是不能够重拍的。Camera 在你出生的时候就开始action录像，直到你死了我才帮你喊"cut"。你发现这部戏太难演了，你喘不过气来 - 因为罪的诞生，破坏了你整部片子。
你开始慌张，你乱了。你多希望能够凭你自己的力量修改一些片段，但你不能。你绝望了，不想演了。
其实，很多人也有演这部戏，戏名都一样，叫《人生》。他们和你一样，是这部戏的导演，也是主角，拥有世界万物为道具和背景。但不是每个人都知道，我是编写这部戏的编剧和出品人。
我知道大家都很辛苦，中途有很多人都放弃了。于是，我打算帮助你们。我差遣我的儿子进入你的戏中，帮助你所不能完成的东西。他是万能的上帝，是我给他所有的权利，也让他能够重写你的人生。他能够给你力量继续演这部戏，时时刻刻都在你的身旁－就像副导演一样，愿意默默地为你付出。你可能看不见他，但看不见并不代表不存在。
没错，这部戏必须继续演下去。你可以休息，可以和你的副导演说说话，但重点是你必须接受他，因为他会让你演得更好，你的生命会发光，你片子会拍得更好，所有人都会看见，而我这编剧也会得到所有的荣耀。
演完了这部人生戏，我会请你到我的家喝茶。像所有的演员，表演完了，就要休息。不知你有没有听说，但我老实的告诉你，我家的名字叫--天堂。
忘了告诉你，我那儿子叫耶稣。
你的编剧
亲爱的天父上

When Thank You Is Not Enough
edited by Jen Yeh
I have always wanted to write a post on KEWOC, but never had the time until recently. This is a quite a long post, for I am expressing my gratitude to 21 people. You can skip and jump to the person that you want to read, or if you do have time you are welcome to read'em all. Some of them are quite personal, so pardon me for that.
A sincere thank you to all the KEWOCers:
Wai Kit
You are one of the most capable leader/head that I have ever met. You do things clean and neat. I have total confidence in letting you deal with the logs and of course, money. I really want to apologize for the incident of the first dry run, which caused trouble for you and your logs team. I really had a good time with you in the Penang trip, and hell yeah, I WON IN BLANKET PULLING. :) All the best for your floorball aye!
Sorry for squeezing your butt all this while xD
Yan Yi
My dear marketing head. You proved yourself a hardworking, dedicated person by continuously looking for sponsors for KEWOC. I can never forget the happy and satisfied expression that showed on your face every time you managed to get one more company to sponsor to our project. OUR GOODIE BAG IS FULL OF STUFFS YO. I must say you and your team did a good job in this.You are a person who thinks far into the future. You can foresee problems lying under the surface that others can't. But at the same time you are always worried for the things (which may not even happen) in the future. Take a chill pill, enjoy life and be a philanthropic tai tai :)
Hou Yan Yi ah.... zuomok?
Meng Hwee
Dont worry about the results of Flag Day. You have put in your best effort, and I do understand your stand towards funds collection activity. Night cycling was a blast too! Everyone enjoyed that event. I think you will excel in something if you are interested in it - you are such a meticulous person ; I can tell from the way you paint your gundam models :) Jia you in Hall Play set buildings!
Fate/Zero ending sucks right? xD
Celine
No word describe you better than "workaholic". You are very fast and efficient in doing work. Whatever I asked you to do, you never failed to complete it. Thank you for helping me with all the emails and also the receipts bookkeeping. I am still wondering how on earth you managed to remember each and every freshmen's check in details AND their room number. Next time, don't bug people to do work at 1am k?
3 throws of Celine - Throw her food, she will eat; throw her work, she will do; throw her your bag, and she will carry it for you :)
Annisa
I never expected that you would agree to be the programmes head when I first approached you. Together we discussed about the direction of KEWOC, and, of course, together we reminisced about the moments we had together for KEWOC last year. This year's KEWOC was a success, and you, as a programmes head, do deserve credit. You led the programmes team well, and I think all 9 of them like you as head. Uh oh, if one day you can't walk, stop telling jokes for they are too lame. Stop trolling others!
RAKUN on the war path!OMPA OMPAPA SHIT JUST GOT REAL
Zachary
We did not have the chance to really talk to each other until we went to get our hair cut together. There you told me your heroic stories in the army. You pointed out the things that I should improve on, especially in leadership qualities. You boasted to me how your encik is a leader by example, a high rank officer who is able to be humble enough to mingle with the lower rank peeps. You introduced to me some of the local colloquial that is used in Singapore. You explained to me why certain people behave one way while others don't. You do challenge authority sometimes, yet you are willing to help when s serious problem really occurs. You can rara the crowd. You are one of the "carriers" of KEWOC. . Other than my gratitude, I really salute you for who you are.
Play LoL together next time. No jio me, I flare you.
Liangxun
You taught me a lot of things. You showed me the proper way of how to run a camp. You tried to teach me how to be the "clown". You showed me some other qualities of good leader. In fact, the skill that I wanted to learn from you is photography, but aiyah, never had the time. I am really glad that you took up the MEDIA X head. The photo shoot quality is REALLY GOOD. Thanks for the coverage! And help me to say thank you to your Media members also. One thing I must say, you revived the entire KE Media. :)
And I will never forget the 亚麻爹 joke :)
Cheryl
Love to call you Zu-er. You have always been the sunshine girl in KEWOC. You always present yourself with a big grin on your face. You, too, taught me how to technically run a camp. Trust me, beach day was fun. You and Liangxun organized it very very well. Shucks for the rain, but still a job well done! Anyway, jiayou for your touch rug k!
Will continue to call you Zu-er.
Melissa
MELCHEE92. Thank you for lending me your shoulder when I am sad. You have always been sweet. You always comfort me when I am down. And whenever I have problems and start emo-ing, you will be there to chat with me. Though sometimes you may not be able to solve my problem, you never fail to cheer me up. Thank you Mel, for being such a good friend. AND I PROMISE, NEXT TIME IT WILL BE OUT OF NUS. *bro fist*
Girls who play computer games ROCK.
Siying
The only impression I have of you is that you have always been a GODLIKE programmer since more than 2 years ago. So much so that the PDF template that we are using now is from you! Well, I also want to apologize that I have been inconsistent about the block day thingy. To wrap everything up, I still think you are a godlike programmer :D
Thanks for the all the tips in BGR :D
Adela
I find that you're actually a talented girl. You can dance well. And for things that you put effort into, most of time it will turn out well. There are probably misunderstandings here and there between you and me, but I do hope that all of them are resolved - wait - I still have to work under you for 1 year in block com! I have to say sorry for the conflicts in FDC. Everyone has emotions; we just need to learn how to control them; and make sure they don't override our rationale. Jia you Adela. E block is quite happening this year.
One E to Rule'em all.
Sue Yuin
阳光美少女！I find your effort to help to save the environment by reducing the consumption of meat to be very interesting. Now I know that consumption of 1kg of meat will indeed produce 1.4kg of carbon dioxide. It is also interesting to know that both of us are the only 2 Malaysians in KEWOC. Play badminton together next time? and one thing - YOU ARE NOT FAT at all, trust me.
to quote Siying : 阳光99，活力久久！
Jing Jia
I have never met someone who can laugh so loud! I didn't really know you well before KEWOC, but sooner or later I found out (sadly) that you actually have the same "frequency" as I do! All the lame jokes that I tell you can pick up quickly, and in fact you can tell LAMER jokes than I can! I really enjoyed the times when both of us could sit down and talk nonstop! :) and can you cook noodles again? They are super tasty! :)
Have fun living together with the messsy HonQi for 1 more year :P
Yasmin
I have always had the wrong impression of you. I always thought you were the playful type of person, until time spent together with you proved me wrong. You are a person who is very sensitive towards the emotional changes of people around you. You are able to pick up signals when someone around you is in a foul mood. I wish I had that ability. You do care for your friends. It really shocked me when I saw you donating money to the old man when we were on the Penang trip. Just wanna thank you for listening to all my problems, and also the advice given - if you still remember what the advice was. :D
Yasmin action number 1 - TAP YOUR CHIN.
Aloysius
It is indeed an asset to take you in the team, though you joined us late. I really appreciate your help and effort in helping the programmes team. You have good initiative and hardworking. I like the way you ran your programmes - you wrote down things in detail and everything was so idiot proof. It may cause some constraints, but well, this is your way of doing work. I guess Yan Yi also felt relieved when you joined her team. You reduced her work load by a lot, I guess? Forgive me for keep calling you "sister", and all the best for JCRC. Our welfare is now in your hands :)
Open a new course. ALO 1101. I can be your tutor.
June
Whenever I asked for opinions/suggestions, the only reply that you would give is "okay lah". And I like to tap your forehead! Next time don't simply throw your slippers around, and don't kick my ass!!! Good job in logistics! Join handball yeah! The female team needs you!
I know what to buy to treat you already. PAPAYA! :D
Jax
The only impression I had about you before KEWOC started was that you were a handball player last year. I didn't really get to know who you were until KEWOC gave me the chance. Sorry to HonQi, JJ and June, but I must say AMONG THE FOUR you are indeed the most 乖(good girl) and honest one. HAHAHA. You will never troll others (not that I know), and you don't facejack others like the other 3 do. Good job in helping with the logistics. Sorry for the first dry run. Jia you for softball ah!
and I will never forget that you said "I don't think He will mess me up like that." - if you still remember what is this. xD. Thanks ah.
Wee Yang
You have been quiet all this while, but I am glad that sometimes you do open up and say things to me. I had fun checking in your brother, WHO LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE YOU. I am indeed surprised about the fact that you are a salsa dancer and practice martial arts! Do come down and join other activities k! Have fun running the Culture Com!
Never knew that you are "COOL AND MYSTERIOUS".
Gerald
Second year of joining KEWOC, and again, you volunteered yourself to handle the webtech. I really appreciate that you were willing to sacrifice your working time to help me. The KE official webpage is an awesome one. I guess nobody else could have done a better job than you (or even been willing to take it on). No one can teach me better about computer stuffs than you. Sorry for bugging you whenever my rooted phone has problems, or when my MBP is not able to boot!
Teach me PHP one day, maybe? :)
Jen
I can never forget the day that you drew the flag for Velox and Regalix. Your drawing and painting stunned me. Amazing artwork. That was the very first time I knew there was an exchange student who came from the States.You are the first one to introduce to me what is Hulu and Netflix. Of course, I am amazed not only at your art, but also at your efficiency in doing work. Email sent at 2.05 pm, got a reply at 2.08pm. I miss the time praying together with you! Keep this going, and your virtues(and wisdom and knowledge from God) will allow you to pursue further and higher achievements in life.
and I know you go clubbingeveryday every Wednesday.
And lastly, to my dear vice-head of KEWOC, Hon Qi
You are the person who worked closest with me. You shared my problems. Knowing you used to be a leader with high calibre, it was in fact very stressful together to work with you. Pardon me if I have not been a good senior or leader. I have been inefficient sometimes, or tend to forget things. Sorry for the stress that you have to carry up for the 3 months. You are stressed because of the obligation to take care of the safety of the freshman. Sorry for the incident that happened before the trip. Looking back, there is nothing much for me to say, other than a sincere thank you and sorry. KEWOC 12/13, we did it, didn't we! And you still owe me something :D
I hope one day, maybe in 15 years time, I will be able to call you Dr Hon.
______________________________________________________________________________________
There are too many things that I took away from the entire KEWOC, working and playing together with you guys. I learned that everyone holds different values. Sometimes there is really nothing right or wrong about certain decisions made. We come from different backgrounds and therefore hold different values.From a stubborn Fang Hau ( well maybe I still am), I learned to accept people's decision, and their rationale behind. Ultimately I am learning how to accept everyone's values, and eventually accepting others for who they are. I used to be judgmental, now I always persuade myself to see the best in everyone. You guys taught me how to be humble, and see things from a different point of view. You guys taught me not to be a dictatorial leader, and to be instead, a leader by example. You guys taught me how to let go of certain things, but grab hold of what is important. Of course, I DO FEEL PROUD THAT SOMEHOW MANY OF YOU LEARNED MY LAME JOKES. HAHAHAHAH
PROJECT VII was definitely a success, or at least, this is true from the comments of the freshmen and the SCRC. But still, somehow I do feel that, for this project, I didn't play much of a role. You guys were the carriers ( ask Zach what's the meaning of carry!). In the end, everyone was helping each other, making sure that the programmes ran smoothly and turning the entire camp into a blast. Trust me, I think it was worth it to put in much effort into running this programme. We did work together, play games together and go crazy together, (SLEEP TOGETHER NO? ). We quarreled. We cried. We laughed. Eventually, we really came together as one team, presenting ourselves proudly in front of the freshman as the best KEWOCers ever.
Here, I would want to take this chance, to sincerely apologize to everyone, for all of the misconduct/misbehavior that I have committed. I am sorry for not being a good leader, but still, KEWOC 12/13 is definitely one of my best memories in KE hall.
Till next time, agents! This song, dedicated for all of us - When you say nothing at all by Ronan Keating
p/s: If there is only one thing that I can do to repay everyone, I will pray for all of you, though you may or may not be a Christian. And trust me, my Lord is not stingy to bless. † :)

You guys taught me how to let go of certain things, but grab hold of what is important. Of course, I DO FEEL PROUD THAT SOMEHOW MANY OF YOU LEARNED MY LAME JOKES. HAHAHAHAH
PROJECT VII was definitely a success, or at least, this is true from the comments of the freshmen and the SCRC. But still, somehow I do feel that, for this project, I didn't play much of a role. You guys were the carriers ( ask Zach what's the meaning of carry!). In the end, everyone was helping each other, making sure that the programmes ran smoothly and turning the entire camp into a blast. Trust me, I think it was worth it to put in much effort into running this programme. We did work together, play games together and go crazy together, (SLEEP TOGETHER NO? ). We quarreled. We cried. We laughed. Eventually, we really came together as one team, presenting ourselves proudly in front of the freshman as the best KEWOCers ever.
Here, I would want to take this chance, to sincerely apologize to everyone, for all of the misconduct/misbehavior that I have committed. I am sorry for not being a good leader, but still, KEWOC 12/13 is definitely one of my best memories in KE hall.
Till next time, agents! This song, dedicated for all of us - When you say nothing at all by Ronan Keating
p/s: If there is only one thing that I can do to repay everyone, I will pray for all of you, though you may or may not be a Christian. And trust me, my Lord is not stingy to bless. † :)

梦想 ·飞翔
梦想 ·飞翔
你看见他们的成就，你想挑战，无奈发现自己已经没有任何精力和他们竞争。你剩下的，仅仅是你的身躯，一个空壳。
但是它来了。它给予你生命，给予你寄托，给予你力量。它可以让你痴心幻想，让你陶醉在它的甜头中，也可以让你充满干劲，像兴奋剂一样使到你夜夜难眠。
它很虚幻，常常让人摸不着；它充满诱惑，却又深不可测。大家都告诉你，别傻，不要触碰这玩意儿，因为它会使你精疲力尽，最后让你身心都破碎，甚至死亡。
一开始你不信。你碰了它。你往它前进。一开始你就像中了毒，无法自拔。你付出了很多，却又尝不到甜头。你开始怀疑了。怀疑当初所做的决定，怀疑当初的愚昧，就连自己的价值观也怀疑了。最后，你放手了。
到头来,一切归零。你还是在羡慕他们的成就，还是剩下一个空壳。或许你认为，平凡是福。
打开你的双手，想象一下它们是你的翅膀，跳跃，然后翱翔。晚上的夜车，我们一起流荡吧！
梦想，你抓紧了吗？
