I just don't know..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#33ff33;"&gt;I know who God is, I know who Jesus is, but I just don't know who am I.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#33ffff;"&gt;Like someone who is emotionally disabled, emotionally bipolar.. So dependent upon the praises and affirmations of others that I'll do almost anything to get it..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;I crave being significant, I crave being acknowledged... I crave being the golden boy, one which people look up to..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;"&gt;The problem is that i know its not fair.. its not fair to others... how can i expect others to be so generous with their attention for me all the time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff9900;"&gt;it's like, it is really not possible at all.. i really look up to this mentor really really alot, and in the past, i can always call or sms and "mentor" will always reply... recently i guess i just need to grow up.. to be independent and to live on my own.. part of me really want to grow up, but part of me really still wants to be "pampered" all the time...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;"&gt;it's a paradox isn't it? i want to learn to be emotionally mature, yet i still want ppl to assure and affirm me for it, yet i still crave, really desperately crave for attention... (strange right, that i'm typing on this blog which no one reads except myself....)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ffff33;"&gt;the last thing i wanna do is to just blame it that "oh, i'm an only child, its my right to be like that".... Thats pure bullshit..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;i wanna be emotionally strong and independent, but God it's just so hard to do... just just just so hard...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;i guess everyone struggles with different problems, and this is my achellies heel (yes i know i spell it wrong)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;God please help... please!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#33cc00;"&gt;interesting isn't it... everything i'm saying here in this post, is so aptly reflected in all the childish nonsense posted since the start of this blog till now... lol...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231938839132734732-8985895768136819274?l=staringattheopensea.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231938839132734732/posts/default/8985895768136819274'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231938839132734732/posts/default/8985895768136819274'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staringattheopensea.blogspot.com/2011/10/good-to-be-back-pt2.html' title='Good to be back pt2'/><author><name>the wandering wonderer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12245201514469929694</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231938839132734732.post-8459876690429697269</id><published>2011-10-09T23:10:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-10-09T23:17:56.729+08:00</updated><title type='text'>It's nice to be back</title><content type='html'>It's good to be back..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been like 3 years..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I now know for sure with the advent of social networking sites, no one will ever read this blog again..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Basically, I would say that my life so far has improved somewhat, God really has been at work in my life..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the main problem is that everything that affected me in the past, is still affecting me now.. The loneliness, pain, insecurities, seeking of attention.. Everything sometimes just makes it so hard to go on.. Life sometimes seems so stifling and hard to swallow... Sighs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem is, there is really no one I have who can really be a listening ear. Though I have some very close relations, but hey, there is a limit right? They also not my gfor my wife... If keep calling them, then end up just completely imposing on them..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sighs.. Sometimes really so lonely.. Really no one to talk...

But God surprised me yet again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#000000;"&gt;now i'm confused&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Prior to this trip, I remember feeling really down, close to depressed. I can’t really remember why that was so, but I felt really bad, as if whatever I did does not hold any meaning or purpose anymore. Hence my somewhat nonchalant attitude before the trip. I told myself, maybe this trip I’ll just take a back seat and do observations. But little did I know that God has something totally different in store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#000000;"&gt;i do not know if u are really interested&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Upon reaching Thailand, as usual the simple life, the mountains and the vegetation and&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GUTvyfI45yA/Rp8w8UmYaKI/AAAAAAAAABk/Kj7agm_iJKc/s1600-h/Mission+trip+2007+402.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088839916831926434" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" height="145" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GUTvyfI45yA/Rp8w8UmYaKI/AAAAAAAAABk/Kj7agm_iJKc/s320/Mission+trip+2007+402.jpg" width="186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; raw undergrowth is a breath of fresh air apart from the mundane concrete jungle of Singapore. As we travel up the mountains on the back of the 4WD truck, what amazed me most was the fresh air and the very beautiful scenery that passed before our eyes. The phrase that kept lingering in my mind was that of a line in the song "Sanctuary", it goes "to think that the universe could not withhold your glory, yet you chose to live in me, I’m so amazed." This realisation was the wake-up call that snapped me out of my "depression". Hence, surprise number 1. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#000000;"&gt;are u playing me?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GUTvyfI45yA/Rp8yT0mYaLI/AAAAAAAAABs/W1N18Grw8nY/s1600-h/Mission+trip+2007+351.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088841420070480050" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 189px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 147px" height="151" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GUTvyfI45yA/Rp8yT0mYaLI/AAAAAAAAABs/W1N18Grw8nY/s320/Mission+trip+2007+351.jpg" width="163" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;As the days progressed, I am again struck by the earnestness of the people wanting to worship God, that they would choose to travel on foot to climb up a mountain in the night, with minimal light and raining cats and dogs, just to hear God’s word. At that point, I really wondered if Singaporeans are too comfortable and pampered. That was the night, that I preached for the first time in my life, a message on healing, though I made a few errors in my message, Pastor Jonathan and the team said it was okay, just need to brush up on my content. Hopefully I won’t make the same mistakes again. Surprise number 2. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#000000;"&gt;or are you for real??&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff9966;"&gt;Surprise number three is not something new. In fact, it has been with me for&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GUTvyfI45yA/Rp8zz0mYaMI/AAAAAAAAAB0/BTpyozP2FX0/s1600-h/DSCF1722.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088843069337921730" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 193px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 136px" height="165" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GUTvyfI45yA/Rp8zz0mYaMI/AAAAAAAAAB0/BTpyozP2FX0/s320/DSCF1722.JPG" width="243" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; a very long time, just that I finally realised it on the trip. When a group of twelve people are placed together for 5-6 days, it would be a difficulty to bear with each other and forgive one another’s idiosyncrasies. Hence on the last day of the trip, I realised that I’ve got friends that I know will be by my side, faithful friends that would not dissolve with the wind. And for that I’m thankful. Friends are really a gift from above, to cherish and to love. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#000000;"&gt;please let me know......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff9966;"&gt;In conclusion, I really thank God for this trip. I went from a nonchalant attitude of not knowing what else is there for me to learn from the mission trip, to having three pleasant surprises from God.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GUTvyfI45yA/Rp81K0mYaOI/AAAAAAAAACE/ggTPYBGUTko/s1600-h/P6100133.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5088844563986540770" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 224px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 163px" height="174" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GUTvyfI45yA/Rp81K0mYaOI/AAAAAAAAACE/ggTPYBGUTko/s320/P6100133.JPG" width="210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GUTvyfI45yA/Rp803UmYaNI/AAAAAAAAAB8/qc_TNO2qnLk/s1600-h/P6100133.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GUTvyfI45yA/Rp803UmYaNI/AAAAAAAAAB8/qc_TNO2qnLk/s1600-h/P6100133.JPG"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8231938839132734732-7853048497190225868?l=staringattheopensea.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231938839132734732/posts/default/7853048497190225868'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8231938839132734732/posts/default/7853048497190225868'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staringattheopensea.blogspot.com/2007/07/im-back.html' title='I&apos;m Back......'/><author><name>the wandering wonderer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12245201514469929694</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GUTvyfI45yA/Rp8uo0mYaJI/AAAAAAAAABc/8EDvJjjL_88/s72-c/DSC00002.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8231938839132734732.post-3362775898435527692</id><published>2007-06-05T09:22:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T16:39:34.060+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Bored???
