I overheard a conversation in church, a very meaningful one.

Just behind my pew, a mother and a daughter were sitting and waiting for the mass to commence. The daughter said, in an anticipating voice, "Where is Jesus? How do I see him?"

The mother replied, "You have to BELIEVE to see him. And when you grow up and you truly believe, you will see him."

A simply reply, yet a hard one to do. How deep is your faith?

26 December 2010

It's Boxing Day today and I walked totally aimlessly around Eaton Centre amidst the huge crowd just banging you off your shoulders. These people are crazy!! I wanted to enter Abercrombie & Fitch and when I saw the line, I nearly fainted.


I had nothing in mind this year. Nothing struck me as interesting either. It was nice just to window shop and see others shop so I had fun too. Eaton centre had this huge christmas tree with all the Swarovski bling blings on it.

So far this winter break, I lost count the number of times I went downtown. I tried to make it less miserable but it still is. *hiak hiak*

I went...

1. The bata shoe museum


Lots of shoe history inside. Some really swept me off my feet. How shoes represented the different ranking in society and how they differed with religions.....etc.

2. Royal Ontario Museum aka ROM

ROM had so many things to see. Didn't have enough time to see them all so will make a second trip there....woohoo...my favourite....dinossss!!!

They reminded me of what I used to learn in BIO 153.

3. CN Tower @ night

I guess I went at the wrong time but nevertheless, it was amazingly stunning with lights flickering at the horizon.

full moon in toronto

I am here at this hour because of insomnia. ARghhhh....good night people.

4.59pm

I decided to shut down my laptop. Brain jammed. Headed towards Student Centre and into the faith sharing room.

Oriana shared a beautiful story so I would like to share it here, whether or not you've heard of this before.

There was this woman, she dreamt of Jesus saying to her that he's going to her house tomorrow. So the next day, she cleaned her house top and bottom till spotless, cooked luxurious meals and then waited for Jesus to come.

She waited and waited and then came a knock on the door. It was her neighbour asking for help desperately. However, she turned her down, saying she was waiting for Jesus and couldn't leave.

She continued waiting and then came another knock on the door. This time it was her friend coming for a visit. Afraid that her friend might make a mess of her house, she asked her to come another day for she is waiting for Jesus.

Approaching dusk, another knock on the door. This time it was a beggar asking for some food. She shoved the beggar away, not wanting to give a little of the food that she had cooked.

And then she waited, and night fell but Jesus did not come. That night, she dreamt of Jesus again. This time she asked "Why didn't you come? I waited for you and cleaned and cooked." Jesus replied, "I was the neighbour, the friend and the beggar. But you did not invite me in."



This coming Advent, what would you do to prepare yourself for His coming? It's not only pleasing God, but an act of kindness matters too

Things are starting to get busier again.

Status of brain now: as blurry as the fog that lands in Mississauga today.

Not everything ends with a perfect note, but at least everything ends on a note.

Thank you all these while

Autumn

It's really pretty to see trees changing colours, especially those burning red and striking yellow against an almost black branch.



At the same time, it's kind of sad to see leaves dropping off so fast, revealing all that the tree has, nothing but it's own trunk.

Happy Thanksgiving

It's Thanksgiving today in Canada....Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

The best thing is that it's holiday today. At least I get to have my break. Ever since I had class on Saturday, it feels like my weekend is just left with Sunday =(

Ah well, we had a celebration of Thanksgiving last night, the Korean way. Now who says turkey is a must on thanksgiving? I hate turkeys.....for some reasons =)

Pork belly BBQ with kimchi


And of course with Soju

Ja Jiang mian

The food was nice and so was the feeling of drinking soju, though the rest said it tasted like disinfectant XD. I have taste problem, seriously.

Before I stop writing I have something to share from my church bulletin and here it goes

Let us be thankful....


Let us be thankful for the blessings we receive
Let us be thoughtful of others.

Let us remember dear and close friends
Ler us have faith in tomorrow

Let us live life as a Golden Rule
Let us find sunlight through the clouds
Let us believe

Liet us be the people we have the ability to be
Let us have understanding

Ler us say the thanks in prayer
To God, for the gifts He has give.

For everyday that He has given me and for everything around me, good or bad. THANK YOU!!!

Take a look at your heart

It's really hectic these few days, downpour of midterms and assignments and lab reports. Nevertheless, I'm trying my best to enjoy every moment of it, despite sleepless nights that turned my eyes "panda-ry"

It was a really crazy night last night and I was rushing to get over what I've procrastinated the whole week, my Bio lab report. Slept at 6.30am, woke up for class at 10am. I hope I can finish my chem report before midnight tonight.

I love Bio labs though. Last week I had my heart beats measured. It felt kind of fun, with electrodes stuck on you, never knowing when you'll get electrocuted.

Seeing your own heart beat is like an expecting mother seeing her own ultrasound scan (okay, maybe I exaggerated a little).




Looks pretty normal eh? Wait till you label every segment and you will go "Alamak..."

You see, different people have different heartbeats. People in love will have an ECG diagram like this...



And if you're in LOVE with Macs, you'll see an ECG like this...




So, my main point is that, my ECG looked like neither, so I'm not in love and I don't love Macs. XD. I find this diagram interesting and funny though, how an ECG component corresponds to school life and it looks soooo true!!

So how's your heart like? Whatever it is, I sure hope it's not a straight line =) dup dup dup dup..
