打针记

今天我去Pusat Darah Negara打预防针，打B型肝炎预防针第一支。免费的。原因是我经常捐血，这是其中一个privilege！

其实几年前也有打过，也是免费的，只是忘了第三针，然后又害怕被护士责备，所以隔了几年，再打过，不过这次去到国家血库。

很久没有打针的感觉，所以......，今天才发现......

原来打针是很痛的！竟然比捐血还痛！OooooouuUuuccChhhhhH!!

不过，我计划打第二支针时，我也会同时捐血。

你有没有想过捐血呢？每一次我捐血后，心中一一股满足感，觉得自己总对社会有一点点的贡献，你要不要试一试这样的满足感？

attending weddings..

(wai kit 和 choi one的晚宴）

12月特别多人结婚。我已经出席两个婚宴了。今天下午在我家对面的马来同胞，也有人结婚。虽然没有看见新郎和新娘，但是我听见他们的唱歌声，好不热闹！

上个礼拜出席亲戚的教堂婚礼，然后晚宴。简单华丽。
今天下午马来同胞的婚宴，则传统，而且他们所唱的Karaoke 和情歌有他们对上苍的感恩。
刚才的晚宴，则是中学同学的喜酒。非常热闹，特别是隔壁座，都是新郎和新娘的form 6朋友，比较作怪，搞气氛。由他们这样的“兄弟”也不错！

在这三个婚礼当中，我的结论就是：结婚必定会与神扯上关系。就算你说你是一个什么都不信的华人，有些仪式还是离不开与神明和灵界的关系。

基督徒的婚礼，是在上帝的面前和众人的面前公开彼此的承诺，更是相信婚姻里一定要有上帝，而且婚姻本身就是要为了荣耀上帝。

马来同胞呢，也回祷告求上苍祝福，赐他们儿女。

一般的华人呢... 还是离不开求神名或祖先保佑，让一对新人子孙满堂、招财进宝、步步高升、左边开银行、右边开金矿....$$$$$...


这就是文化和信仰的差异！

但是到底人为什么要结婚呢？很多人都没有一定的答案。但是，若不肯定为什么要结婚，只是想要结就结的话，没有一定要守住承诺的信念的话，必定会有很多离婚的结局。
这是令我感到可悲的一件事。若曾经想过离婚，就请你不要结婚好了。若要结婚，结了就用不要想有离婚的可能性！

Puzzle Day

17^th Oct 2007 Thursday 4.42pm

刚刚才把两个小孩送回家。他们昨天和今天与我们携手完成两个500片的Puzzle。四个人在一起砌图。那砌图是我在几年前，甚至还没有认识我老公之前就买了，其实很容易玩，也很好玩。终于因为小孩们假期，而我们也一直很想和他们spend time， 于是便叫他们过来玩了两天。看来似乎很浪费时间，而我内心其实也很挣扎，因为明知还有很多东西很多事情要处理，却似乎在陪小孩浪费时间。而我这个工作狂， 要不断提醒自己，陪他们是值得的。有谁能真正将自己的生命投资在他人的身上？这两天的时间，让我有些反思。我一直要决定：要陪他们，花时间与他们相处，因 为我爱他们。所以说“爱是要做决定的”。无论那个对象是谁，包括上帝、伴侣、孩子、教会、仇敌等等、爱始终是要做决定的。

Quality or Quantity Time?
by Steve Arterburn

And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God. - Colossians 1:10

You’ve heard people say, “I don’t have much time to give my kids, but what I do give is quality time!”

What does that mean?

How can you predict the quality of “quality time?” What constitutes the distinction, “quality”

You can have the most well-planned, sure-fire occasion with your kids spoiled for any number of reasons; and then, on some other occasion, find that a mundane afternoon of errands provide the context for a wonderful time of bonding with them. Such is life.

Quality time can’t be manipulated. It doesn’t happen at your beck and call. Instead, quality time sneaks up on you while spending quantity time with your loved ones. The only way you can ensure quality time is to make sure there’s quantity time and plenty of it.

“The real measure of success is the number of experiments that can be crowded into 24 hours.” - Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931)

如果我要做妈妈，我真的要做全时间的妈妈！

只有感叹

婚姻

叫人感叹

叫人越来越了解原来，

上帝创造的男和女

是有如此大的分别

这样的差异，要么让你窒息

要么让你感恩。

这就是圣经里头所说的“...你要恋慕你的丈夫，他却要管辖你”（新译本 创3：16b）

You will want to control your husband, but he will dominate you.” (NET Bible Gen 3:16b)

哦人的罪啊！

democracy

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. ... The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence: from Bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from dependence back into bondage." - Alexander Tyler, Scottish history professor at The University of Edinborough, The Fall of The Athenian Republic, 1787
