Storms...

Sometimes when the waves are too calm,
be careful.
Cos it usually means a storm is brewing.

Well, today I had one... albeit a small one.
It would have blown over quickly if support was given.
Sighs... Oh well.

Today's lesson:
We really need to watch what we say cos often times those very same words will come and bite not only ourselves but other people as well.

Daniel is James

I went to catch Casino Royale with my dearest last night and this is what I have to say...

Finally!
A James Bond that is as hard as a rock!
Not since Sean Connery in From Russia With Love,
that I have seen another Bond who is both hard and tender at the same time.
Daniel IS James...
He brought not only a hard edge and a cruel streak back to the character,
but managed to show enough emotions to get us to feel for him as well.
He can be both charming in one minute and cruel in another.
Moreover, he also has the physique of someone who can both give and take a beating.

Not only does the movie has all the classic ingredients of a Bond movie such as...

• Bad, bad Bond girls
• Beautiful and exotic scenery and locations
  
• Cruel villians
• Torture scenes (and this one is really, really painful to watch!)
  
• Boy's toys (cars, boats, HPs, laptops)
• Action, and lots of it (in short bursts)
  

But it also tells a good story,
the pacing is good,
and you got to know James Bond much better.
The focus is really on Bond this time.
Not the girls or cars or gadgets or villians.

Well done Daniel Craig and bravo Casino Royale!
Here's to Bond movie #22!

Life

Life is so, so fragile...
treasure it.
You are only given 1 chance.

We are not as invincible as we think.

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for this precious, precious lesson.

Keep it burning...

Let my heart keep burning...
For You...
For her...
For life...

Times like this...

"It is not good to punish an innocent man,
or to flog officials for their integrity."
- Proverbs 17:26

My dearest Father in heaven.

My heart is heavy.
I see so many things that are wrong.
I know its not going to last very long.
As Christ is coming back again.

Still...
May justice prevail in these last days...
May our light shine before man.
May it never fade or be put out.
Intervene on our behalf, I pray.

It is hard to live at times like this...
BUT...
Help us to keep our eyes on You.
Let Your love fill our hearts.
So that we may continue to share it with others.
Let it not be filled with bitterness and resentment.
Lest it hardens at the core.

The road ahead will not be easy.
Remind us that Your joy can be our strength.
That You will never leave nor forsake us.

I am so grateful that I can come to You.
That's all for now...
But I am sure if I ever need You,
You are only a cry away.

Thank You for that assurance.
Amen

What if I am not?

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous.
He will hear their cries.

The question is...
What if I am not that righteous?

Will You still accept me and love me?

Things I am not...

I am not that smart, though some may equate the trivial things I store in my head as so.
I am not that happy, though many are fooled by this smile of mine.
I am not that healthy, though my size and shape may fool many, myself included.
I am not easy to live with, there is no doubt about it.
I am not that nice, so please don't get too close to me...
Or you'll be greatly disappointed.

I am not that good a guy, really.

Is it possible?

I sometimes think there are certain things in my life that are too good to be true...
I wonder if this particularly precious thing that I have is also one of them.
I hope not but it seems more and more like it is.

I really hope not.

Shaken... Not Stirred

Yes, its James Bond time again.
I wonder how Casino Royale will fare.
My sweetheart says Daniel Craig is to rough to be James Bond.
What do you think?

As for me, I like Sean Connery.
But only in "From Russia With Love".
To me, that is the best James Bond Movie ever.
The story was simple and yet classy.
Not many gadgets and stuff.
Lots of action.
Exotic locales and a beautiful Bond girl.
Classic James Bond.

I hope Casino Royale and Daniel Craig can rise to the challenge.

Heh...

Pray.

Actually, I DO have something to say...
my little nephew, Isaac, is sick.
Down with Kawasaki disease.
Please pray for him ya...

Ramblings Part 101106

I have nothing to say...

Hah! :/

Pay More for More?

Hey...
Let me ask you a question.
Are you willing to pay more taxes to support the services given to us by the government?

Me?
Why not?
If they manage it well...

Ramblings Part 011106

What am I doing when not working and not with Su Yin?

1. Playing FM2007 (if you don't know what I am talking about... good).
2. Blogging... doing this right now. :P
   
3. Trying to lose weight (doing this with my dog, who's also as tubby as I am).
4. Day dreaming (and night dreaming also)... there's 2 concurrent stories running in my head right now (don't ask). BTW, I can switch between the 2 as and when I like it... sweet! :)

Does this all make sense to you? No? Its ok... if you want a blog that makes sense... go write one yourself... :)
