Monday, November 30

finally got my table settled and packed just now. It has been some time since i can see visible space on it. Though not totally neat and tidy, but at least there's less things on it now. I'm totally enjoying this moment now-the moment after the exams. Of course, its not like its the first time I had exams, but somehow this sem feels much different. Could be due to the fact that my long-awaited SEP is coming :)

Anw, caught the movie 2012 earlier today. Was a bit apprehensive about this movie initially because I do not agree with the myth over the 2012 deadline. During the first half of the movie, when the family was trying to escape from their home, I thought it was too much of calculated moves to be able to escape from the numerous near-death instances. But of course, they have to escape death for the story to continue. There were better breath-stopping moments with more realistic portrayals of incidents but what really caught me in this movie was not the jaw-dropping effects but the humane touch in the characters as they face the deciding moments of their lives.

Indeed when facing crisis, many of us struggle- struggle to make the right decisions. And what is right becomes questionable at this case. I'm not going to dwell on the topic of what is right but my question is will we be able to stand as who we are, firm with our beliefs and values even at the face of death? or will we scramble to hide just to save ourselves? Often I feel a lot of us will tend to choose the convenient way out or what comes to our minds first. But it may not be what is necessarily right or honourable. Is that what we want to be known for what we die?

Just the past Sunday, pastor was sharing about the engravings on the graves. Usually the words must summarize what you are known for in your life. So do we really want to be known for when we die? what kind of legacy do you want to leave for the future? It doesn't have to be bigger and world-changing, just the kind which you've leave behind for your children and loved ones. What will they know you for?

Finish the race well. In a way that is pleasing and honourable to the Lord.
