Haha... Just another lame excuse to revel in the party mood that punctuated the week! After Deepavali and Hari Raya Puasa, restaurant and pub owners quickly change their decor to Halloween themed ones to jump on another cash cow bandwagon. I must admit some places look particularly impressive and tempting to just soak in the festive mood. Although this celebration is occult in nature, it is just one more weekend for fun parties for the people of this generation.
This week may have been a short work week for many, but God has never taken an off day! Why? Well, from both the people I meet outside, in school, in cell of course and last but not least myself; God is working in many lives!! For me, God has been teaching me lessons in humility, faith, boldness and submission. It may be quite offensive to put God and shit in the same sentence, but the cruel and cold truth in life is that shit happens (read: GIP subject matching and application forms), but the fact that there is a God that will help us no matter what state we are in is simply astounding and touching!
The most significant event this week was quite an unfortunate one, and in my opinion, it's almost surreal! Two of my friends were convicted in a credit card cloning fraud and were sentenced to more than 3 yrs imprisonment each. It grabbed the headlines on Thursday and it certainly grabbed my attention the whole weekend. As it turns out, the aforementioned event is an answer that God provided which I so desperately seek! This simply proves of God's plans and purposes for those who follow Him (read: Jeremiah 29:11). Since the start of this year, I been drifting into bouts of mental and emotional quandary - wondering about my own life, achievements and purpose. Moreover, I can't get over the fact that many people, some of them led wayward and debauched lives, are doing way better in life than I am. This marked a spell of my own self-declared "midlife crisis", which I shared a couple of times in L cell that I am looking for a satisfactory answer. This bolt from out of the blue was a wake up call to stop me from wondering if the grass was greener on the other side - that is to pursue my own goals, chase material wants (not science mind you..) and indulge in carnal pleasures. Nevertheless, there was no way I could refute God's answer. Now, I can look back and not regret the countless friday and saturday nights that I spent in cell and church - I can testify of God's awesome love as it was for my own good. All praise and glory belongs to the Big Daddy up there!
Also happened this week: - Bro fixed WiFi at home, now typing this entry on my bed! - Played a poor match this Saturday, despite 6-1 victory... - Shopped for CDs (as usual) quite a bit these few days :P - I.A. still going good and plenty to look ahead (6 weeks left!!) - Watched D.O.A. (haha.. guilty pleasure)
VJ Titanium will take you down memory lane to one of the greatest heavy metal bands to walk this earth. Although their recent work wasn't ground breaking, this song from their phenomenal Black Album was their proudest moment! Heard it when I was in primary school, my taste in music inevitably changed for the better... Hail Metallica!!!

Life is full of problems, yet it's dearth of solutions. There are no model answers, yet God is able to provide one when you seek Him!
