In approximately 21h and 55mins time, the year 2008 will be history. 2009 is a new year. Put all the unhappy, unmemorable and bad events behind you. Start All Over. I know 'Start All Over' is a song by Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus) but some song lyrics are just spot-on. We always need to look into the future. That is why we also plan for the future. 2009 is indeed going to be a tough and stressful year for all of us, nevertheless, remember the times that you persevered in P6 or/and those difficult situations. Reflect and revisit. Think of how can you improve yourself, needless to say, for the better. Everybody makes mistakes, however we need to learn and minimise the chance of the same mistake we once made reoccur again. The minute occurrence of that terrible and fateful mistake would enhance your step closer to success. Although school is about to begin again and many of us dread the thought of going back to 'jail', don't think about it this way. Look deeper and understand why. The primary purpose of the government building numerous schools all across this little island is to enable and equip us with the knowledge needed to survive, earn the necessary bucks and of course, to upgrade our skills in the working world. Don't have the mindset that school is a 'jail'. Don't say die before you're dead. If so, your parents wouldn't have gone to work and you might not be alive now. The working world is much tougher and deadlier than our schooling lives. Look, when you work, what holidays are there even? All you get is about 30 days of leave which you have to decide when to use it for the entire year and the public holidays are your holidays. Isn't being a student much better? You get fixed school holidays, weekends are free, the time you spend in school are fixed and scheduled, and all you have to do is just study. Okay, maybe the word 'study' isn't appetizing. But so what? Many countless working people, be it students working part-time or adults, they would rather be a student and not go to work. Well, I might have said too much but it is necessary as I feel too many students out there need this to revive their hardworking spirit within themselves. I also feel that there is another reason, we sometimes feel that working hard now doesn't bring any instant results. What we want is instant results, that's why when the computer is lagging or our handphone has hanged, we get frustrated and therefore our patience reduces. However that's not the case when it comes to studying or schooling. The results we get are in terms of the knowledge gain, the degrees earned and of course, the amount of salary earned. These are long-term results. 'School' and 'study' may sound revolting and unappealing, it's the best word to use though if not why did someone create them? * * * * * * * * * * * * Anyway, just to update, the Bombardier Challenger 604 had been ready for delivery about 3 days ago but I'll probably give the plane to the receiver tomorrow, on what's most likely going to be my last meal for the year 2008. The A380 is almost complete, with a handful of decals to be sticked onto the fuselage and just to connect the colossal wings and the main landing gear together. I should be able to finish in a day which I'm planning and hoping to be on Thursday. Today it seems, Wednesday, 31 December 2008, I'm going to complete every scratch of homework that needs to be done and due for Friday. That's my plan and I hope it turns out just the way I want it, or else I'll be 'dead'. Today, FCBC's Countdown Party @ TC, 9.30pm-12.30am. The dress code is 'Occupation'. Please let me know if you want to come. I'm pretty certain that no one is going to read until here. In fact, I'm almost certain.Thursday, December 25, 2008 . 3:52 AM
PLEASE be patient and view this.and oh,merry chirstmas to one and all..!and remember the reason why we celebrate christmas..!:D
As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a celebration in my honor and I think that this year the celebration will be repeated. During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer.
It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the celebration. Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the celebration.
I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates. The decorations were exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts. But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited. I was the guest of honor and they didn't remember to send me an invitation.
The party was for me, but when that great day came, I was left outside, they closed the door in my face...and I wanted to be with them and share their table. In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years all close their doors to me.
Since I was not invited, I decided to enter the party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner. They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a great time. To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to him, saying : "Santa Claus, Santa Claus".... as if the party were in his honor !
At 12 midnight all the people began to hug each other ; I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and .... do you know .... no one hugged me. Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe, there was one for me. What would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get one ? I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left. Every year it gets worse. People only remember to eat and drink, the gifts, the parties and nobody remembers me. I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life. I would like that you recognize the fact that almost two thousand years ago I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you. Today, I only want that you believe this with all you heart.
I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no one has ever imagined, a spectacular party. I'm still making the final arrangements. Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book. Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party. Those who don't answer the invitation, will be left outside.
Do you know how you can answer this invitation? it is by extending it to others whom you care for...
I'll be waiting for all of you to attend my party this year...
See you soon..... I love you !
-Jesus-
Let's put Jesus back into Christmas. This is not a holiday season, but the Christmas season.
Let's not care about those who want to take Christ out of Christmas.
If you are ashamed of Christ now, He will be ashamed of you later.
Remember Jesus is the reason for this season!!!
