Not Even A Hint (continuation)

Getting pretty excited where this book is bringing to in terms of understanding what lust is all about. "Half A Poison Pill Won't Kill You - How do I cope with the temptations of Media?" spoke mainly on how to abstain from the media that contain lustful things completely and not give in to it eventhought the movie or a particular series seems to be popular amoing viewers or had garnered tonnes of awards. Accountability seem to be the crust of "Lone Rangers are Dead Rangers - Why Is Accoutability So Important?". Joshua Harris stressed that it is important to have someone you are accountable to if you want to conquer lust. It should be someone from the same sex, guy to guy and girl to girl. What kind of person should we find? Well, first of all we should look for someone who fears God and who take his word seriously. Being comfortable with the person shouldnt be one of ur criteria but find somoene who will make you uncomfortable with your sin. As in, that person will remind continously and make you feel guilty about wat you have done. Guilt isnt all that bad. It makes u realise that what you do, in this case lust is bad and should be put an end to it. This person should be somoene who is strong in areas that you are weak in. God's word seem to be best solution mention in" The Sword of the Spirit - How Can the Truth Help Me Defeat the Lies?" in defeating lust. Memorizing and using them when met with temptation lust is a good way to defend yourself from sinning. I still have a chapter left in my reading and will make my conclusion in my next post. Im wanting to have a second reading less i forget and only read for the sake of reading.

A Second Visit to the Land of Creativity

I had the oppurtunity today to visit our beloved neighbout campus, Lim Kok Wing University College of Creative and Technology (LUCT). Terry had invited me together with Mathan, mainly to bring our beloved to visit this unique campus. Unique? Yes, unique with its myriad of people with different and interesting outlooks where they seem to project apart of themselves throught their dressing and character. It was also a norm to see student puffing away just as they enter their classes. Girls with buds in their hands seem to project coolness but i totally disagree with the self projection. Ive always dislike people who try to look cool with a stick in their hand not knowing that looking cool pays a dear price. Cant really imagine having filt and carbon entering my body. How can they i wonder???

We had the oppurtunity to have lunch at their open concept food court that had caterers from Eden as well as D' Tandoor. The latter one seems to be a new caterer trying to ply their trade in this little community of creative buff. Sitting around and just looking around seem to be an interesting thing to do as we gubbled down our lunch. I manage to spot a girl whom i caught my attention the last time i was here. Funny being able to spot someone for the second time and remembering who she is. I kinda have this things to be captivated by girls who look cool. How would i describe cool? Guess everyone have their own definition of coolness. For me, coolness is mainly how they carry themselves people feeling at ease and able to interate with both girl and boy, regarless of race or religion. Besides that, most of this cool girls seem to spot short hairs that may pass them as tomboys for most of them. Im not so sure why am i captivated by tomboys, but i guess they seem different to me. Other interesting character is a chinese girl who seem to look like a double of Stephanie Sun. Tall, slim, short hair, pearky nose with big eyes and a sweet smile. Besides that, there was an african guy who was like a Lenny Kravitz wannabe. Others were quite general, slim and curvature body girls, short skirts, smokin girls, spaggheti strap and even a girl who had the word HONEY written on her bum. Now, you see why there is a myriad of characters down at LUCT. i also manage to recognise one girl whom ive seen in LUCT advertisement in newspaper. A blonde lady. Surprising she was a staff there and boy was she pretty. My friend on the other hand was kinda taken aback to see her much bustier than normal girls than seem to leave him speechless for a moment. I tried to refrain myself from looking at it althought i pass her althought i had a quick glance and realise what my friend had said. Guess, reading a book on lust did gave me a guilty conscience all the more.

I took some pics form my last visit there. I hope you do not get surprised by it but this is a little sneak preview of the so called Creative Hub of Malaysia.



Better to be Vegetable than to Die

It was rather an interesting thought today, something that i never thought about it before. I had dinner with Lydia, Joanne, Nadia, sis and Kelvin today at HB1 indulging in our favourite pasta shop and we sort of came to the topic of committing suicide. In the Christian context, suicides will normally be thrown into the pits of fire. But what if you try to commit suicide but failed to die, leaving you a vegetable? Its actually another chance in life given to you. However, your penalty is to remain a vegetable for life but with a choice to repent the sins that you have made. So is it that bad to be a vegetable? Think about it
