As numerical codes and theories flood the last days of my university life, I am reminded of many things which come and go, like a falling leaf in the autumn sky.
What is man without God?
Only but an empty vassal lost in its purpose,
Seeking fulfilment from the futility of worldly distractions, whilst harbouring in himself a growing dissatisfaction.
What is hope without God?
Only a lie, a mental crutch, where there is no possible human explanation for such things.
Men will always fail each other, it is a given. In these endless failures, where is the credibility of "humanly" hope?
What is morality without God?
In a life devoid of His words, what is the basis of morality, basic social laws, and family systems?
Why do we do what we do to people around us?
What governs your basic actions such as courtesy?
To make another person feel better? What is the basis of making another person feel better?
Is it not just hypocrisy on your part if you do not have a basis of doing good at all?

Step up
Pitter, patter.. of the things that matter,
Meaningless things bring about a meander,
Losing focus on the real treasure,
Wisdom calls but only to folly do we surrender,
As things go bad we just blame another.
Lord oh Lord,
Do remember,
Your servant whom you promised hope when his heart was torn asunder,
For I ask for my focus to not scatter,
Only through Your strength will I will not falter,
In these times which really matter,
As your vassal I pray that your glory shines forth forever.

Priorities
Okay, so there's approximately 4 more weeks till the end of the semester, and a lot, I mean a lot of work to do before this supposedly, hopefully and prayerfully final semester finishes.
So my commitments from now on until the final paper of my exams.
- No more computer games. So to my friends who are reading this, please don't tempt me in this time.
- Futsal only once a week. Gosh this is going to be so hard.
- No youtube-ing after11.30pm. *edit* i'll make it to 1am instead -_-
This is going to be a hard fight, but it'll be a good fight! and the good fruit that is to be born at the end will be worth it! Cause God is good!
Can I hear an Amen!
Adieu!

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

Detachments
There and here,
Like a fickle connoisseur,
Company which only comes with beer,
or perhaps others who only expect you to adhere.
Refusal to see past our own frontier,
Just stuck in our own silly sphere,
Ignorance at its best and it ain't the first premiere,
Words that won't reach no matter how sincere.

A reminder: Colossians 2
2 I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. 2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments. 5 For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are and how firm your faith in Christ is.
Spiritual Fullness in Christ
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rootedand built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world rather than on Christ.
9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. 11 In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh[b] was put off when you were circumcised by[c] Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.
13 When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you[d]alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.[e]
Freedom From Human Rules
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind. 19 They have lost connection with the head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow.
20 Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules: 21 “Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!”? 22 These rules, which have to do with things that are all destined to perish with use, are based on merely human commands and teachings. 23 Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
