I don't like training.
Supervisors should be taught how to teach.

ORD Loh..
Or so they chant..
People come, people go.
It's a weird feeling to have known some people for such a short time, and then they're gone. Mobility of human resource. Elastic supply of manpower.
In my short 2 years, i'll have witnessed people posting out, and new people posting in too. I'd have chatted with them for a while, talking about anything from the weather to politics to TV programs. And yet, despite all this being very well, i can't help but feel that human relationships are meant to be more than that. Perhaps that's why I find myself very much less of a chatter-box than i used to be. I feel that if there isn't enough time to develope a close friendship with people, i'd rather not get aquainted at all. Your comments?
I know to some, I might come across as pretty unfriendly as a result... but oh wells.
Sustaining friendships really takes an effort man. I used to think along the lines of "although we don't always talk, and we don't meet up often just to find out how each other is doing, we'll always be friends, cos i'll be there for you". But as much as I'd like to think that this is true, I know that that's just being lazy. I mean, honestly, how can you call yourself a friend if u don't even know what the other person is going through. And how can you know, if you don't spend time with that person.
And now I know that as surely as Fire needs heat, oxygen and fuel to burn, friendships need qualty time to grow and sustain.
Now you know why I long for retirement so.
Not enough weekends in the week.

The Singapore river on a sunday evening. Friends and french fries make the world go round. :D
Das Experiment. A play in which Scientists put a group of people in a mock prison environment, some to be guards and others prisoners. Unbelievable how the mind works. In the play, the volunteers get so into it that the guards start torturing the prisonerss, even denying them of medical treatment till deaths occur. No one's that resillient I guess. And i thought being called to live a christian testimony is hard.

2 Corinthians 8:8
I am not commanding you, but to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it to the earnestness of others.
I was reading the book 'A walk to remember' by Nicholas Sparks. And I came to the above verse quoted in the book. And i stopped to ponder.
I was sitting at city link today while waiting for the rest to come.. I can safely say the number of couples walking by was about 10 a minute. It's depressing. I dun get it man. What's it take for a guy and a girl to get together huh. -_-"
Good night world.

Here I am. Forgiven so that I can forgive.
It's hard to swallow my pride and reconcile especially when I don't feel like i should be the one to reconcile. Yet. God has commanded us not to let the sun go down on your anger, and to leave our sacrifices at the altar, go settle any disputes amongst our brothers and sisters in christ before coming back to offer our sacrifices.

Again 1 Corinthians 13 jumps out at me.
Love is patient. It keeps no record of wrong.
