Faith

ever wondered what faith truly was? when i read this book called TAMING THE TIGER, i came upon the author's point of view on faith. it goes something like this:

"no one thinks twice about whether there is oxygen in each breath taken nor whether there will be enough for the next breath and the breath after that. we just breath. similarly, the last time you sat on a chair, you didnt pick it up and examine it to check whether it would break under your weight or hold you. you just sat. once there was a boy flying his kite it was a foggy day and his grandfather came up and said to him, "what are you doing?" the boy replied, "i'm flying my kite." the grandfather teased him, "i see no kite up there." the boy looked up and he coudn't see it either. he thought for a while, the he said to his gradfather, "but i know it's there. i can feel the tug on the string.""

this authour once told his friend, "if you have faith in Jesus, you will feel his tug on your heart."

i think it is oh-so-true!

on the lighter side of things.. wheeeee! it's chinese new year!! hurray!
i love:
*actually getting money without working (i wonder if that's a good thing, hmm...)
*watching silly nonsense chinese kungfu shows where good always triumphs over evil
*buying new clothes.. no wait, getting your parents to buy you new clothes hehehe
*wearing new clothes!
*gorging out on mandrin oranges, chinese new year cookies, and yee sang! (though i dont really like yee sang much)
*one whole week of holiday!
*no school, no stress!
*delicious reunion dinners, yummy!

then again the result of cny is just as bad:
*growing sideways due to all the food intake
*less exercise
*sleepless nights (stupid firecrakers)
*homework piling up
*exams after hols
*lots of washing up to do after dinner
*sweltering under the hot sun!
*dying of boredom

yeaps that just sums it all =) btw, it doesnt make me hate cny.. in fact i love this time the year.. though it's just soooooo red!
