anw...aft pbl we went for lunch at frontier...and saw the grp of us wearing black....and blue...it was totally coincidental...so we decided to take a foto:P

The one above is one where we're supposed to look serious...the one below is one where we're smiling...hehe.......

and finally...lynette wanted to take a foto with us...haha....the white amongst the blacks

had a rather interesting faith discussion with william, kelvin, audrey, lynette and sum girl who i dunno:P abt christian and cathoilic.....felt good...william, kelvin and i are catholics.....

interesting how pple reject before they know anything...before listening....how dey are so bent on their idea they close off everything before listening...and e onli reason tt they might listen is so tt now they have a higher ground to reject....all in the name of rejecting...when from the beginin they are not receptive....

well, its fine by mi...anw....tt response is not just w religion...its everywhere....science, politics....and i guess very imptly....humanity.....

*.........impatience, intolerance, hatred, anger, lust, jealousy, envy, stress, worry, wealth, status, pride, looks, frustration, deceit......why bother to be alive if u let these consume u? ur soul's gone if u dun set urself free from all this........they poison u...*

sadly, that is how the world is....and each one's soul/human spirit is being poisoned by all these that we fail to realise simple truths......that the world is screwed up...people are dying and we are living in our own little happy caccoon. failing to see wads happening around us...

just because pple are dying from hunger for so so many yrs.....and so wad if we haf gotten used to it...does it make it right?

just because we let a country go to war for supposed reasons of mass destruction...and supposed reasons of safety....does it mean its ok to kill innocent lives?

wad makes anyone think its ok to stock up enough missiles and nuclear weapons to destroy earth 10 times over....all on one planet......btw...most of which is in one country...the same country which is tellin other countries to disarm their nuclear plans...go figure...

just because we're safe in our little 4 walls....does it mean we haf to not care abt those pple who have been struck by all the hurricanes in the world, earthquakes in taiwan and india...

u think seeing those little donation cans everyday makes it *okay*...and that its no longer as impt to help pple as it used to be? more alarmin is..do u think putting in all ur 5 cent change has constituted as u helping sumone...and u feel happy abt it?

think abt it....im makin this up...but im sure u can definitely find a few pple in this scenario...a kid who lost his leg.....but is crying cuz he lost all his family and his home...

this is our life...a life of apathy...why? cuz we're so consumed with the nitty gritty of our pathetic lives...distracted by all the poisons in our hearts....

it is a fact tt the world lacks love and empathy, compassion and understanding.....

we have a world of how many billion people...and are we saying our collective voice cannot do anything...it cld even sway sum power hungry government or organisation to our causes...

this is our world? tell mi...will buying more padlocks make us safe when all we need is just 1/10th of the world's nuclear arsenal to let loose..not to mention biological and chemical warfare..

we all know for a fact that the world's food sources are MORE than enough to supply the whole world w surplus! but yet, we have food rotting in warehouses..food thrown away...while in some parts of the world parents boil newspapers for their children to eat...

look at money? a sick kind of a joke to bind humanity as slaves....slave to money....almost everyone is a slave to money...well, honestly, money is the one and main reason why govrnements and countries have power....and why people are suffering....

honestly, i know this sounds ridiculous because money is money....where does it come from? man...and so? from a simplistic point of view....we make money....we can make as much as we want? whos to say tt theres a limit to money in this world?? noone knows the limit of money...u mean that there can only be 10000000000000 dollars on this planet? huh? or no wait.....that figure is inaccurate....its short of $9.90...and we have to share that amongst the countries and pple? who came up w tt? theres no such thing..

but still the weirdest phenomenon is happening...pple are suffering and dying from poverty....all cuz we think of it as sum sick joke to exclude pple out there....so we can have the power....and choose not to help....

this is our world.....a world of apathy....self consumed and poisoned by sin....

sum say this cannot be helped.....why? cuz its too simplistic, too idealistic, too innocent...the world is too complicated and "hiya, u just wont understand"..tt kind of response....but i think we can do sumthg....i know pple who share my views...

wads wrong in havin a simple, ideal and innocent world...where parents can feed their children milk, and where theres no poverty?

are we alive? a simple qn to all of us....

wad do we mean by alive? to eat and to breathe? maybe.....but is your soul alive?

do u cry when a child cries.....do u rush over to help sumone who drops sumthg on the floor....reach out to console a weeping person at the side....hear of sufferin and go all out to help....hear a fren in need and find all means to help him....look at the sea and see the wonders of nature yet find calmness in it...look up at the sky and smile from within...see simple things and think cute little wonderful thots....( like seeing the rain...and say 'look the sky's watering the plants again' and smile to oneself...i used to think tt when i was young....strangely it came to me again today...and i was smiling like an idiot)....this is being alive...and trust mi....tt is a wonderful feeling...

most of all....do u smile and feel free.....that there is a reason to be in this world other den study, work, earn money......tt there is meaning in ur life....

if u do.....rejoice...for ur soul is alive...

have u closed ur eyes and felt ur soul and ur mind....do they feel heavy? are they cluttered with the pains of everyday?

now think of life beyond urself....do u realise how insignificant ur things are? now smile....everyone can make a difference if we want to....

do u look at the old woman seving u at mcdonald's and think of ur grandma serving u....yet i still see young punks scolding em....have u always just walked past the aunties and uncles who clean the skl, toilet and coridor wo even lookin at em.....do u think of ur parents when u see em? when u see hungry children crying on the streets of bankok or India, do u think of ur own brothers, sisters and children....

but the simple fact remains....they are sumone's parents, sumone's brother or sister, sumones child...let's say u had to leave this world unexpectantly, wldn u want sumone to take good care of ur loved one? for pple to be kind to them....give them a good life.....

....are u alive?...

im trying to be...sigh...
