That passage above was inspired by something earlier tonite.. haha.. Kai this is for you. No i don't mean smoking. Its about wat we were talking about earlier. ANALOGY ok?

hmmm.. today played bball and vball in school.. haha.. bball i still cant shoot. i never could. hmmm.. and i quite like vball. prob coz it was the girls net so its much easier to play. haha.. sch was ok.. kwee was trying to encourage us during econs lesson... and so he didn't teach anything.. just as well cause nobody really wanted to study. and then physics pract again. its i-screwed-up-again.

sch was pretty funny.. coz of awards day we started late.. at 10..and wat was left was only math lect, econs tut, phy pract.. so it passed fast.. =p and its the weekends.. got the whole saturday so free! yaY! i mean will be going out but then no responsibilities, stuff to do or wat.. finally rest! hmm its saturday oredi. Hey at least i got back on friday this week. Reached home at 11.59.. hahaha..

just now went play soccer with jx, kn, clemence, casper, an fu, an gui, aloy,and some other ppl larr.. quite ok. quite rare.. suddenly we go play soccer.. haha.. shan't talk abt soccer. its always tt way... and then after tt went eat and then slacked arnd with kn till 11+ waiting for his dad to pick him up. then we talked a lot. abt everything. girls, parents, stuff, God, satan, dreams, crap.. haha.. a lot la.. quite nice.. very long havent talk like tt liao. well i dun get tt in cj aniwaes.. it seems the only ppl i talk to like tt are jx, kn, gab(rarely), my bro(even rarer) and very little else.. sigh.. well i wouldn't mind more soulmates.. hahaa..

right now listening to perfect by simple plan.. the acoustic version... hmm.. thinking abt whether i should take a safe route in life, earn lots of money, beg for a wife, and then live in mediocrity, struggle and complain and die in peace... or should i chase after my dreams.. (music, God, fun, adventure) i don't know. my parents has such high expectations for me.. and i do have the responsibility to break us out of the "poverty" cycle, and to provide for them when they are young no more.. if i go the dreams route, i know i would be such a disappointment to them. and i may even fall along the way, fail like every other loser, and never haf the happiness of having a family. heck, i may even lose all tt i have now.. it won't be perfect definitely..

but i'll be happy.

and nothing is ever perfect aniwaes. perfection is a chasing after the wind... (sort of)

hmmmmm.... and God will always be with me.. wats most precious remains..

oh well.

The moment his bloodied bodied was enthroned on the cross, you have lost your victory forevermore.

Bloodied. Battered. My lord he was beaten beyond recognition. It must have been great pain so great that God could not bear to see no more and had to turn his face away. And yet you had the power to stop the pain. To just show how awesome you are. But no, you did not. You went through the pain, so that we may have eternal life, that we would be under satan's yoke no more.

He was wounded for our transgressions and by his wounds we are healed.

Satan, you lose.

From then on you have lost.

And you will be a loser for eternity.

My God is great. Awesome he is. And he loves me enough to lay down his life for me. What have you got to say for that satan?

When he was persecuted and prepared for the crucifixion, were you smiling anymore?

Did it make you happy to see the heavenly creator suffering at the hand of his created?

Could you still smile knowing that his death would end your victory?

Could you rejoice at the pain he suffered, when the nails were driven in, when his pain paid for our sins?

And how do you feel now, that you have lost this war. Lost for now, and forever. Amen.

Jesus rose again, so that we would know that death is not final. To present us with the gift of eternal life. To present us the gift of a life that would not be futile. And his holy spirit with us, so that we might live in communion with the holiness of God. For that, he tore the temple curtains down too, so that we might be with God.

Satan's been defeated. Sin has lost its victory. Death has lost its victory, the grave has been denied. Jesus is alive! Hallelujah i praise you. Jesus lives. Jesus reigns now and forever! All curse have been broken, no longer slave to sin, to futility, to death, to finality. For Jesus is alive!

I love you Lord.
