blocked

After a swim on Saturday morning, my air passages are blocked.. I can't hear well, can't smell much (apparently my camp smelled of cow dung, lucky me!) AND I'm also losing my sense of taste! lol I can barely taste 50% of the sweetness of a fruit tips sweet.. and.. chilli has no effect on me (I reaslised during dinner). gg. hope panadol flu max does its job.. this post is totally random.

hope vs expectations

I told them, "I hope you understand, but I don't expect you to understand."

There will be times in life when one has to make decisions that will be hard for others to understand. One will hope for others to understand, but may not expect them to. But you got to make those decisions anyway, if those are the right things to be done and has to be done.

I cannot be what I am not

My fist ain't iron,
neither is my heart steel,
I can't do this.

friend vs companion

I guess one of the main takeaways for me during yesterday's session was that of friendship vs companionship. In our journey of life as a christian, we have both secular friends and also brothers and sisters in Christ. We can have many friends, a group of good friends, but how many are our companions? I guess that the greatest difference is that as friends they will be there with you to share moments in your life, some are good times others are bad, as companions, they will be there to walk those moments with you.

The word 'walk' used as a verb suggests that a companion is not only present to provide company (as the chinese translation of companion suggests) but also that concious effort is put in, action is taken for the well being of the fellow companion due to the nature of the close relationship and affection for each other.

Its such a blessing that God created Eve for Adam and that no christian is a lone wolf but that we're all part of Christ's body the church and we have fellow brethren. God is so thoughtful..God is good :)


How good and pleasant it is
when brothers live together in unity!

It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron's beard,
down upon the collar of his robes.

It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the LORD bestows his blessing,
even life forevermore.

Psalms 133
