Jew casting out demon in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preached
Cant sleep. Its 2.31 am.
Wondering wondering wondering.
1-posses aspiration
2-posses spiritual exaltation, plus (1)
3-posses affection, plus bit (2)
If I have to draw a Venn diagram for 1,2,3...I think it will end up very distinct. in the sense that in the end it will be a set of 3 different group still even though the overlapping portion is very insignificant.
Just read... from Acts 19 . A Jew was trying to cast out demon in the demon-possessed man. The jew saod "In the name of Jesus, Paul preaches, I command you to come out." The demon-possessed man rebuked "Jesus I know, Paul I know, but you I do not know." In the end, the demon got out from the man and entered the Jew, and as a result the Jew got a beating by the demon. God, what is the implication that you are trying to tell me to what I was wondering. Faith. so how is it linked?
Perhaps are you trying to tell me, we can know the qualities of things or pple. but how well the qualities complement one really depends on how you place faith in the quality of that person? Even the demon is not afraid of the Jew cos he is lacking faith in Jesus. Though he cast out the demon in the name of Christ, but it is Paul who is the one who believed, and not the Jew himself. I guess so... by placing faith in the good quality of that person, that other good "outcomes" would then follow.

happy bdae mel
Had a gathering on saturday with the guys, its been a long time since all
had met.
Had drinks, wings and pool. Played with viven, and with Jerry as a coach.
Din know that Mel and Viv are quite into pool these days. Anyway, she gave
me plenty of chance.
Its good to see the guys back together. Bro Bro...
Kel looked troubled and not in good shape. We prayed for him. And this is
the very first time we prayed for kel after so many things had happen. May
God helped us to be consistent in our prayer for him.
BS this thurs....on good works
Not exactly a hard topic.

time spent on ... ...
I was busy marking, and just finished yesterday. Havent been feeling goodthese days. lack of sleep, cos seems to be dream quite a bit recently, andso have been gog back for nap in the afternoon before SAP. Been busycoaching my Sec 4 physics boys for four days per week. Getting a little burnout after doing that for 3 weeks. Feel like reducing the frequency, butafraid that the boys cant manage on their own. Sigh, expectation is high onthe physics results, and I really want to achieve it badly this year. Justanother 2 more weeks for me to hold their hands before letting them go ontheir own....I know they can do it....they are really not that bad youknow.....got hope got hope.....I am really hopeful for a 60% dinstinctionfor this batch if not higher........I will be having a mock of the mock 'O's exam with my class boys next week, I wonder how many interested souls willturn up.....

as the song goes di da di da di di da di...
Nothing unsual happens.
I shared a unusal predicament as her. But cant exactly tell when is the ultimatum to end all these. No one will know, only those involved.
Why are the students so happy about adding extra 5 marks to their papers? Cant they sense that it is a form of insult to integrity that they can score not due to their result of their own effort. No one exactly cares about integrity if one can get what they want, this applies to everyone. Thats the sin of greed. The desire for more. Well... lets not judge, cos what u judge unto others, will also be done to you. This is scary....

The battle is on...
Work is such a toil. Seems to be full of thistles and thorns. With demanding expectations to juggle, while on the other hand, with enemies to defence against. In Philippians, God mentioned about the armor that stand against the devil's schemes, am i wearing that armor right now?
Why are the taiwanese so jingoistic about their country? They burned our National flag, and i felt outraged when I saw tt on the news. The taiwanese are simply putting ties between nations at risk, stirring up the unneccesary, and using boorish attitude to see things, just like somebodyin school. Anyway, they are just trying to offend anyone who is in their way, just like somebody in school...
I am glad that some of my boys are working hard, practising papers after papers, so far we had completed 2 papers within this week, and we have peer teaching during SAP too, and glad that they are learning and knowing what they need to achieve. Distinction is just a door step away for some of them even though they flunk in prelims, thankfully they realise their time wasted in the past.
sigh......

mama mia
Another musical production...
Not the first time, but the second time I am watching...
Cerain scenes were hilarious, like the "Tonight the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me shining like the sun smiling, having fun feeling like a number one". A cleverly written play with the abba songs used. But something was amiss compared to Les Mis which I watched 3 years ago...it lacks that X-factor to be considered a world class muscial. I dunno what.... perhaps the backdrop was too unadventurous like Les Mis, Oliver and Forbidden City. It's too simple and constant. Not much of a movement just simple/short rotation through-out. Though swan lake is not exactly under musical genre, but the ballet scene transformation is much more impressive.
I would rate it Band 2 like Miss Saigon.

removing music tag
Trying my best to remove the music tag below. it looks so awful.
Finally after a few hours...I actually left out the word HIDDEN in the code...so it should be [embed src="file name" hidden="false"] ... chey....my html is really getting rusty after not using for so many years.
Finally got the music tag monster from the page...horray
thinking about work...
Looking back at Victoria School's illustrious past, I cant help to think why cant the current Victorians do something to help to restore that status. We play our roles, at least for me, I think I have played it well and I believe that it can be better. I cant help further but to feel helpless...chey...why am i talking about work here...STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
