Speechless

Why is it called Alvin and the chipmunks, and not Simon or Theordor and the chipmunks? Anyway the movie was great, hard to imagine rodents can actually sing pretty well. Which reminds me of the 2D animation of the classic Alvin and the chipmunks that i watch a millions of years ago.

Suppose to do shopping with a friend but in the end buying a handphone was more important than shopping hahahaha. Anyway this holiday seems long and boring (really have to find something to do).

Anyway was ponding over the issue of "Did God allowed or planned for humans to fail". While reading through the bible i kinda learn that God dont intent for us to fail but allowed that to happen instead of planning for us to fail. Cause we cant say God planned for us to fail exams, fail in areas of relationship or fail the trial or tests that His giving us. Well thats normally the excuses we give ourselves when it comes to failures instead of finding the root to the problem.

Anyway God has plans for everyone and it's certainly not failure. Sometimes it's due to our pride or ego that led to our loss. Thats why in the bible God still uses our failure to achieve the greater things that He planned for His everlasting kingdom.

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. (Romans 12:12)

Strength

Been a week since i last blogged, went to the gym to tone up my fats. Do you know that bicep curl is really very tiring, needed my friend's help to lift the dumb bells after lifting for the 5th time on the 1st set (that's how weak i have been after my exams). So more I still have like 4 more set to finish. The gym session tells me that i have been slacking for a really long time, like my whole body have no strenght at all sianz.

This reminded me of Samson (one of Israel judge) who was blessed with God's strength but sometime failed to fully utilise the gift that God has given to him. Although samson may have sinned terribly but God is always so forgiving. In the end, samson lost he strength due to some reason (read judges 16:4-22) but God still used samson to bring victory over the philistine.

Moral of the story, don't always go to the gym to build up muscles but instead pray for God's strength to be with us. Hahahaha joking only.....anyway the part of "pray for God's strength to be with us" is really true cause without God nothing is impossible but with God impossible is nothing.

With God's strength i have done something that i thought was impossible for me (i think i looked really old in the picture)

I'm A finisher

Today the big day where I tried something crazy enough that will break my legs. Woke up at 3:30am dragged myself out of the bed for standard charted singapore marathon. Anyway slept at 12am last night didnt know how i survived throught the run (must be God watching over me).

The race probably has ten thousand plus people running the full marathon and to be able to see someone you knew was slim. Guess what saw friends from the army and university. Actually have to say the organiser for the event did a very good job everything was in order, not as chaotic as AHM. Baggage deposit and collection was fast and tonnes of encouragement throughout the race.

Overall it was fun but there still afew digusting part:-
1) People peeing at the trees along the route (Am sure they think their still in army)
2) Motivater saying your already finishing the race when you still have 30KM to run.
3) When uncles and aunties run faster then you (Quite sad to see that)
4) Get nipple abrasion (It's true!!!)
5) Seeing peter parker(spiderman) running in the marathon when he should be web swinging
6) People using black tape to tape up their New balance running Shoe (Asics the best)
7) Making phone calls while running (I think i did that)
8) The last 10km is never ending
9) Why they give energy bar not nasi briyani at the turning point
10) Why the Kenyan run freaking fast (I think they run at 24km/hr)
Look at the sad expression before the race
Is that holy light?

Am i seeing spiderman running the marathon?

Look at the happy expression after crossing the finish line
