alright, i'm about to start on my gp homework, which is to write 2 paragraphs based on either question 6 or 7 of the lecture test, or the singapore topic. in any case of whichever option we choose, we still have to write an essay on the other - which is the option that we didn't choose to write the 2 paragraphs with. and.. i really hope, that i don't fall asleep whilst doing the 2 paragraphs. this homework was meant to be done very long ago; infact, i attempted to do it the very day i came home with that homework, which is last friday. note the word "attempted". what happened is that i fell asleep while doing it both on friday and on saturday o_____o ohwells. i think it is really hard to get inspiration to write it, because of the fact that i plainly didn't choose such a topic to answer to during the test.
sigh, okay, here i embark. i think i'll leave random remarks as i make my way through the writing of the wheel and the 2 paragraphs, so as to ensure that i won't fall asleep. (:
oh! and remind me to tell you what happened during youth today later! it sure was hilarious :D
i think writing an essay about how the investment of rich countries in developing countries will bring problems to them is easy to write as a geography essay, but definitely not as a general paper essay ):
it was said by Mahmood Hasan Khan, the professor of economics at simon fraser university that "poverty is not only a state of existence but also a process with many dimensions and complexities." O: apparently poverty isn't as simple as it seems!
and DID YOU KNOW, 1.1 billion people in developing countries have inadequate access to water, and 2.6 billion people lack basic sanitation!
my introductory paragraph has 289 words. is that alot, or just nice?
and my first point is 356 words long. heh.
some excerpts of songs which i heard from the online Christian radio whilst doing my work:
Lord, life becomes more simple, when all I seek is You.
count your blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done! (:
in the sweet, by and by, we shall meet on that beautiful shore. (this reminds me of Rev Clement's passing away. indeed, it is sad news, but let us rest comfort that we'll see him in heaven one day.)
Jesus is all the world to me, my life, my joy, my all. He is my strength from day to day, without Him I will fall. (:
yay i'm finally done with my 2 paragraphs of GP. i shall just complete my post then, before heading to do another homework.
today's youth message was on euthanasia. to give you a brief about it, euthanasia actually comes from 2 greek words, eu and thanatos, which means an easy death. i wanted to write the words in greek, but i can't find them on the net, and my dad's already sleeping D: dn lek was the preacher, and i think the message was quite substance filled. the gist of the message was that euthanasia is not biblical, as it is playing God. God is our creator; all of us are made in the image of God, therefore who are we to play God and decide to shorten the person's life. If it's God will for the person to go, He will take the person's life, we are in no way supposed to do the task instead. yeah, the person may be suffering really badly, and it may hurt us to see the person suffering, but that is no excuse for us to take the person's life. furthermore, if God meant this to happen to the person, He will enable the person to go through it, like what He said in His word. you'll never know what God has in mind. He may even use the person to be an encouragement to the many around!
thereafter, it was group time after the meeting. it turned out to be a roller-blading session, whereby those who had blades brought it along. but i'll say that it wasn't an activity that everyone enjoys, so it didn't really turn up that much of a group time. esther and i, as well as joseph, weren't keen on roller-blading cos we had bad memories of it, so we just hung around. esther and i were accompanying simone, who was learning how to skate from ji en. i didn't know that justin was also a roller-blading instructor! O: GASPS. haha anyway, later karen and ross decided to kaypoh our group's activity, and somehow or rather, karen started talking about taking driving (motorbike) lessons. and she turned to ask me if i was going to learn driving, of which i said yes to. in the end, she ended up telling ji en that i was going to take up driving lessons for motorbike too! haha and i was saying how i wanted to take up driving lessons for car, but my mommy was suggesting me to take up lessons for bike instead cause it's more practical. AND JUSTIN AND JI EN WERE SUPER SHOCKED! they were saying that those parents that they didn't expect to allow, ended up allowing their children to go for driving lessons instead! (: and that my mom's super cool. LOL. then they started talking about what bike i should get, of which ji en said that i shouldn't get a vespa cause my daddy has one already. but justin told me this statement which was quite amusing. "eh actually, you don't look like those type who would go and learn driving for motorbike!" and he said it in a really innocent way, so obviously there was so sarcasm involved. HAHAHA DO I LOOK THAT GU NIANG?! maybe i just look too guai (: i think i must have had alot of KIMGEK virtues! lol don't you know that still waters run deep? (8
& everyday's a beautiful day (:
