alright, been looking at some of the cafe and restaurants in Taiwan- there are alot more theme cafes in taiwan than in Singapore..In singapore many restaurants are quite typical and i kwwp dreaming about bringing all these ideas to life- here in the heart of the city, in this nation. i hope that one day i get the chance to do that!!! really- God allow it!

here are 2 of them that i think are quite nice.
The Top

you know, sometimes i think why do i enjoy watching some of the taiwanese dramas so much- i think one of the reasons is that there are so many stories that are being mentions and its a beautiful thing when people believe in those stories i think its like having child-like faith and some of those stories though i doubt that they are real but they are just so sweet and meaningful. awww~

went to play bball with simon and the rest today. been a long time since i last touched a bball- i think that i am really getting real rusty! i think that its time to put on the exercice gears again. been slacking for too long!! haix.

service this week was fantastic- i think that pastor really shared a great message
one of the highlights :
Those who have ears let them hear- alright though now i cant remember the context le but it was hilarious that people were trying to understand what he means but pastor dont want to talk about it.

FIND YOUR PURPOSE IN THE MUNDANE! :)

ben and jerry ice cream- i think that the new friends are so blessed! not cheapo stuff- cos we believe in having excellence! hehehe. :) i managed to eat from jo there though..hahha.

was really good talking to you buddy and even when you are not aware you are encouraging me- like through your blogs and just so happens that all those are totally relevant. maybe we are going through sth similar but i also know that there are times when God put people in your life to encourage you! thanks! love ya! my oh my..if you have the chance you sld catch Hotel Rwanda- this show is a classic. beyond all the description that you see and hear on the movie, there is something deeper underlying all that. one thing that is true, all these genocides are still taking place in the world today.

we live in this part of the world where we think that gangsters fighting are the worse thing that you can see or ever accept where in the world out there beyond these 4 walls of the nations, there are issues of starvation and other issues but on top of that people are dying- not becos of old age but because they were straved to death or they were killed. here we are sitting in the comfort of our homes and think "poor thing" and get back to our lives. what harsh realities.

seriously, what benefit does it give to us for helping these people in need- zero i guess. apart from the gratification that they may have towards you. but this is not the issue- we call ourselves believers and sit back and do nothing about this. the bible says that as you do unto one of the least of these brethrens, you are doing it on to Me (God). what effect will the works that we do have? i guess first of all, we are saving lives. But what can we do? we cant all possibly get our gear together and set out on a quest to save the humanity- becos we are not trained to do that. i guess that is where what we have been learning for the past few weeks come in- that is where money can bring us to places and save lives that we may not physically able to save.

we sit in the comfort of our own room watching a movie and get all worked up but there is a limit to what we can do- for now! i want to be able to do sth in the time to come. we propagate human rights and equality- i think that it is time that we give some of those rights to these people where there is not even even food to go ard- they have their rights too, but who is going to give it to them.

here i am worrying about my own problems when there are issues that are gravier and needs more thoughts than all the things that i may think that i am going through. i need to have a greater capacity and a bigger heart for all the people who are suffering out there.

*ponders* there was a flying cockroach in the room while liwei was trying to finish up the report for BSP 2005 and it was finally done at about 3am in the morning. it took her and trudi 2 long days to finish it. what a chore and this is just the beginning of an endless chain of project reports. Liwei sighs.

"if you cant stand the heat, get out of the kitchen"
what if the whole world is just a big kitchen by itself? then there is no way of getting out of it. guess it is just how you choose to tackle and handle all the things that you face in life. stay in the kitchen and hopefully try to cook up something that will satisfy you if not someone else who actually appreciates it.

alright, was feeling rather blue when i reached home just now, i am feeling better after channeling all the energy to my BSP report and a thousand things later. but i guess the most important thing is this:

2 Corinthians 12:9 (NKJV)
And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

or this:

2 Corinthians 12:9 [amplified bible]
But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!

i guess that everyone know that the opinion of man doesnt matter that much but sometimes you dont need the assurance but you are just disappointed at the actions of some people. there are alot of things that i dont understand but i do know that it is in times like these that i will draw closer to God than never before. i may be weak but He is the one who is going to make me strong. i dont think that i can go through life with my own strength cos i wld have given up rather long ago.

in life, you meet different people. there are some who just exist to make your life miserable and perhaps i am classified as one to some people. but i pray that i am not.
i am not a perfect person and i am not trying to attain the status of being one. but i am trying to be a better person and i do need encouragements instead of just getting whack over and over again. but i guess- this is when i need to get stronger.

kudos to those who heard me out despite their own worries and physical tiredness. you guys made a difference in my life man! :) and bring a smile to my face when you attempt to cheer me up..hahaha..

sometimes, everyone just need sometime alone- sometime with God.

- i cant believe the way Your love has got a hold on me.
alright, this is a show that i have been waiting for..not only i am interested cos this is a remake into the Hollywood version from the HK's version starring Andy Lau and Liang Chao Wei but check out the cast in the Hollywood version!!!
1. Leonardo Dicaprio (though i am no longer a avid fan of his)
2. Matt Damon!!
3. Jack Nicholson!!
4. Maek Wahlberg!!
i think provide you another reason watch the show. unfortunately the release has been postponed for a week due to the fact that World Trade Centre by the same distributor is to be released before this. but well, its ok- just hope that i have the chance to watch this soon. *sighs*

i sld really be slping now- just finished with the apb tut presentation slides and hope that it will turn out well and that we wldnt sound really ignorant- knowing the people who are in our tutorial. *hmmm* *ponders*

他总是不了解
我那些假装的无所谓关
于那些是是非非
爱的疲惫又有谁能陪

我总不够坚决
才会在爱里面绕圈圈
我学得会口是心非
不要流泪

天上的眼泪他好像懂我的心碎
懂得轻轻给我一些安慰
我们应该要了解
伤了心有种爱的美
天上的彩虹总出现在天晴雨过
我已经懂得轻轻的放手
就算我觉得难过
你会在我身边守候
陪我一起去看彩虹

你总是不自觉
才会在爱里面绕圈圈
让他去飞
留个泪水才能学会

擦干泪水
擦干了成长的泪水
搭上了幸福的地铁
远方有个声音
那一定会是你

: : Sweety : : 彩虹眼泪 : :

this is one of my recent fave song. intro by kelvin. maybe people will think that sweety cant sing but this song is really not bad at all- come to think of it, i wasted a chance to catch them when they were in NUS a few weeks back- maybe i sld not be so indifferent about all these things. hahaha.

alright, i was saying that i sld be going to slp. what is wrong with the school system? all the work are piling up and all the people are so suffocating. and why is the sec TWO math so difficult? maybe i just havent been doing math but trying to solve the problem for Jo and her friends nearly killed me. *prays for Jo and co.*

my face is totally peeling (or rather exfoliating) cos of the medicine from the doctor and its totally itching and i just cant wait to peel of my whole face- too bad i cant do that and i have to endure the pain. arrgh. hope that it is all worth it- after i go ard looking like a snake. *bleah*

after downloading Windows Live Messanger- i have yet to be able to sign in --total regret!!! dont say le..haix..why did i bother to change?

***

readings, readings and more readings. Projects, projects and more projects. so many things to do this week. at least the air took a turn for the better as the wind direction changes. cant take clean air for granted anymore. cant imagine living in a place where all the smog is clogging up the air. Oh my- we better do sth about the way that we consume energy and resources. i am looking out of my house windows now and i can barely see the block opposite..if feels like Genting-- but the problem is that this is not clouds but this is haze and the degree is BAD!! as you walk outside in the open you can smell the haze and when you look you can see the haze. this is a moon-less Mid-Autumn Festival cos the haze is blocking all the beauty of the moon. arh..well..

cell group today was really fun!! my fault for telling weiwei han about World Trade Centre opening today- if not she might have came for it too. the games were hilarious and the people were really sporting..its quite funny but i think that we all enjoyed ourselves. we have an overwhelming supply of mooncakes..really cant finish them- we all ended up to be so bloated after that, thanks to ryan's green tea- i think that it helped abit. BUt i think that my body system is just meslogged up and it just keeps churning.

went to see the doctor yesterday at yih and i cant believe the sheer amount of people who were there to consult the doctor..i had to wait for almost an hour and well..that made me skip BSP lecture..hahaha..seems like the epidemic of being sick is arriving long before the exams season this time round. haix..there are cases of dengue fever report within the campus over at the Kent Vale.

dint really felt like slping initially but after i shifted the laptop over..i feel like slping liaox..
i had a really funny dream about JJ Lim..must be cos bestie and i were talking about it when we went out on wed..hahaha...
the secrets of liwei shall remain with liwei..hHHHahaaha

i told junhong that i am so going to blog about this:
this post is so full of my rants! but the schools are seriously draining the students of their time. my poor cg members cannot come for service and cg even after exams becos there are so many school stuff going on for them that are compulsory and they dont have a choice to not go. on top of that, they have to practise for them which dont even give them a day of rest at all after the exams to catch up with the lost sleep!! what is this?
i am not that old but i dont recall all these things 2 years ago when i was in JC..i think it is getting from bad to worse, they wanted a 5 day week and where is that system now? i guess it is as good as non-existence! i just cannot understand why are they giving the students so much to do then they already have to handle.

arrgh..maybe its the students themselves and not the school but we have been socialised esp in top schools like you guys are in that it is necessary to do well and to do more than the people ard you. BUT we are all human and i think that you guys deserve a break too! my oh my..i sound so old..

miss you guys man.
school..
haix.

what is the problem with all the people who goes off to school killing school children who are totally innocent and not deserving of such an end- they have such a destiny and life ahead of them. now, its all gone, lives are all shattered- not only theirs alone but the people around them and dreams that are never going to be fulfilled.

indeed, these are perilous times that we are living in. i think that its quite sad to live in a time where we claimed to be educated and civilised and things like that are what we read in the news most of the time- apart from all the wars that are going on. in the past, maybe you could understand why wars evolved and why there are certain ideologies that drives people to do weird things- they mught have steam from sth else such as the basic need for survival. but i guess that there are certain things that never change- people are still the same in the way that they organise their thoughts, there are stil deviant bodies in the world that we live in today. haix. my oh my. what can i say?

Le Solsole --> its established today and it will move on from here.
God say: let there be light and there was light. everything begins with a dream and it goes forth from here. many of us have no problem dreaming- in fact i dream all the time. the actual carrying out of your dream is the hard part. what is the thing that keep us going is not the rising and the setting of the sun each day but rather- the dreams that we have in our hearts- these are the things that keep us going when things get tough becos you have a dream in your heart and you know that things are just going to get better!

this is from pastor phil's sermon for this week..not the entire thing but i like particulary this portion.
we choose between faith and fear and after this, i choose faith anytime!

Boldness.
faith will release you
faith will build up people, fear will destroy people.
when you start to believe not only in God but also in yourself- you will begin to do the impossible.
faith enlarges, fear shrinks back -- as soon you step out, you will begin to do greater things
faith move forward and fear moves backward.
you make a choice between faith and fear
faith empowers you, fear dispower you.
faith encourages you, fear discourages
faith loves, fear hates
faith always locate answers, fear always locate problem
