listening to: Every Little Thing - Yura Yura
So I finally finished making updates to this app called CTS. I've been working it since the beginning of the co-op term. Then today I noticed a bug in it, and it's non-trivial... so I was like crap! I thought I'd have to spend like another week fixing it or something. And then I ran it in XP and it worked... so my co-worker was just like, yeah don't worry about we're switching to XP in April anyway. Phew! =_o

listening to: BoA - Rock With You
Saturday was so fun! ^_^ Well, anytime with Ams would be considered fun by me. =P We went to watch 50 First Dates. Now that was a funny movei... XD lol, egg head... haha. The ending wasn't exactly what I expected, but it was pretty cool I guess. We went to Wendy's to grab something to eat afterwards. I think we were there for a good 2 hours or so? haha... just talking and stuff.
I had just finished reading The Music of the Primes, and now am working through Boy Meets Girl, which is a book Ams suggested to me. I just started reading yesterday... so far it's a pretty easy read... nothing too hard to swallow [unlike the book on primes... which was filled with math =P]. After this book I'm gonna start Refuting Evolution 2, which I don't think would take more than a week or so to read... maybe two. And I also need to spend some time playing more games... yeah, I haven't touched a game for like 2 weeks. O_O Which is surprising considering I just got like 5 new games in the past month. I just found that I haven't had enough time to do everything.. but I realized now that it's just cuz I haven't planned everything out appropriately. So I'm gonna start using my time more wisely.. and hopefully I will be able to get the most out of my time.

So Raptors lost to Spurs 86-82.. what else is new right? The offical were so annoying the first half, making all the wrong calls. And Carter is injured yet again. *sigh* V_V And just when I thought Carter was gonna have a breakthrough game this season. (he started out strong in the first quarter) Tim Duncan is Mr. Boring.... hahaha XD
I formatted my hdd yesterday.. still trying to get all the software installed. I forgot to backup my bookmarks for webapges! I had so many of them too. T_T

I don't know what the problem is with some people and my last post. Was it wrong for me to say that Gibson's Passion is not 100% accurate? No! To think so would be ridiculous. It would be like a professor teaching a theorem during one of his lectures. When he begins to show examples in which this theorem can be applied he made an arithmetic error in one of the example... in which a student raises his hand and points out. Would this be wrong? No. Was it important to point out the error? Probably not, since the spirit of the theorem is not depended on it.
So I'm sorry if I offended anyone... or anyone thinks I'm bringing these things into light in order to stir up disputes. (which I am not btw) But before you accuse me for bringing up meaningless disputes.. ask yourself these: 1) Why are you so against me bringing up the fact that Gibson's Passion has errors? 2) Who is the one trying to stir up disputes? Me or you?
For people who think that my faith is purely based on intellecs, you are very wrong. No matter how much knowledge or wisdom you accumulate, faith will always remain the most important aspect of a Christian. It is like math. You have all these theorems built upon a set of axioms. But how do you know that these axioms of mathematics that we accept today is consistent? You could invent new axioms to prove that our axioms are correct... but as Gödel had proved, there is no way to prove axioms without the need of new axioms which we would then need to put our faith in. In other words, you will just have to have faith in what is unprovable. The same goes for Christianity. There are many things which might lead us to God and confirm our beliefs, but without faith belief is useless. (cf. James 2:20)
Lastly, yes the Bible does tell us not to dispute over doubtful things if it should cause a brother to stumble (in his faith). (cf. Romans 14) But I really don't think anyone reading my post would have been made to stumble. Not that there was anything to dispute over to begin with... I was just stating that Gibson's Passion had errors.

listening to: BoA - Love & Honesty
I watched the first half or so of an interview with Mel Gibson about his Passion movie. I can't really give too much of my opinion on it yet, as I have yet to see it myself. From what I do know so far though, it will not be 100% accurate as Gibson claims. The first thing to note is the Catholic influence on the movie... since Gibson is a Catholic afterall. The movie is entirely in Aramaic and Latin... BUT, it should more accurately be in GREEK and Aramaic. Although some Romans would know Latin at that time, it is not commonly used. The common language at the time would be Greek, not Latin. [which is why the New Testament is originally in Greek] The reason why the movie is in Latin is because the Catholics believe Latin to be some holy language. For a while the Bible was kept only in Latin by the Catholic church.. and people were killed for translating it into languages common people can read in. [but I won't go too much into church history right now =P] Another obvious error in the movie is that the nails goes into Jesus' palms instead of the wrists. The Greek word in which we translated into hand does actually include the wrist area. In fact, if the nails did go through the palms, it would strip out between the fingers when made to support the weight of the human body. So the nails must go between the bones (radial and ulna) in the wrists.
I guess that's all I say about the movie at this point. Now, about things that came up during the interview that I thought I'd comment on. Firstly, yes! the Jewish leaders did plot to kill Jesus.. and yes, Pilate was reluctant to send Jesus to the cross. The verse in Matt 27:25 was not a curse on the Jewish people. Humans have no power to cast curse... they did not speak for God. When the Jews said, "His blood be on us and on our children," they were just replying to Pilate who said, "I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it." (Matt 27:24b) Basically, Pilate saw nothing in which to condemn Jesus to the cross.. and the Jews were just saying that they take responibilty for the death of Jesus on the cross. Secondly, the interviewer mentioned how the story of the Passion might trigger racial-violence, and fuels people like the Nazis. This is just ridiculous! The first thing to keep in mind is that Hilter's motivation for the killing of millions of Jews was not the Passion, but EVOLUTION! Yes! If you wanna bash something, why not bash evolution? Hitler believed that the German race was more evolutionarily advance than the Jews, and that's what fueled him. Thirdly, the interview also said that many Bible scholars say that the accounts of the Gospel we have today were written well after the time of Jesus... and thus aren't accurate. THIS IS NOT TRUE! In fact, the earliest manuscripts date back into the eyewitness times. Manuscripts such as the 7Q5 (containing Mark 6:52-53) which dates no later than 50 AD. This would be less than 20 years after the crucifixion. And there are other manuscripts like: P64, 7Q4, P52, etc.
So that's my little blurb. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that Gibson's Passion is going to be bad. In fact I'm hoping it WILL bring people to Christ. And how well will it do this? We won't know until it comes out. It's just that I see so many Christians praising this movie and asking other Christians to defend it against critics... We musn't lose focus! Our mission is NOT to defend Gibson's movie, but to spread the Gospel and defend the GOSPEL against criticsims. (not some movie)

Yesterday was Valentine's Day. I went downtown with Ams in the morning... saw the CN Tower for the first time. It was pretty cool to be up so high looking down. The glass floor was cool... but Ams was so scared of it... =P We were up there for a good an hour and a half or so. Went to Korean Town for lunch... tried to find the card photo thingy but couldn't... and it was too damn cold, so we went back downtown. Walked around a bit.. well, a lot actually... and came back to Sauga to see Along Came Polly. Pretty funny, but that guy is seriously messed up! Today I went to church as usual... met up with Ams, Anup, and Vanessa afterwards and headed to P-mall. Had dinner there... mmm.. kimichi. =D ...Oh, and got some snacks... teehee. I got the book from Ams today (Boy Meets Girl). Have to finish off this book I'm currently reading first... but I'll try to finish both books before I go see Ams early March.
The NBA All-Star game just finished... it was awesome! But I thought Carter should have played more... he was the leading vote-getter afterall! Same with Yao Ming... if I wasn't mistaken, Shaq played more minutes than Yao, but Yao did receive more votes from fans... Just thought that they should give the fans what they wanted to see. Oh, that off the backboard dunk by T-mac was just sick! [i mean that in the good way] And then Iverson gave T-mac an alley-oop off the backboard! Carter had some good dunks as well. Man, the game was sooo much better than the Rookies game... hehe.

O_O So I tried to open the packet, pulling on the plastic thing at the top... I couldn't open it and my fingers hurt. I was like, bahumbug! So I just pressed "coffee" on the machine, and this little thing opened asking me to put the packet in. I was like, oh... o_o; Stupid as I am, I put it in upside-down so it just came back out... then I figured out that the plastic thing on top of the packet was meant to hook unto this thing in the machine.. so I put it in, and ahoy! I got my coffee. ^_^ So that's my little coffee adventure. Now I will have access to all the coffee I need. And yeah... what else.... Oh, I got X-2 DVD today as well as thie 4-in-1 Zelda game for GameCube. [i don't have a GC, but that's not the point >.>]. SO yeah.... I think that's about it. I'm talking to Ams right now.

I'm like, yes o_o. And Andrienne (John's wife) commented that Ams looks like this girl from some movie... A Benjamin Franklin movie? I dunno, I didn't hear exactly. She also said Ams was very pretty... hehe, I'm so lucky to be with her ne? =D Oh, and we're planning this trip to Ottawa to see the Dead Sea Scrolls in the museum... and also other important Biblical artifacts.

Man, I've been so stupid. I think I was getting angry over nothing. [well, actually there was soemthing.. but .. yeah] I was actually happy because even in this trial I had not cursed God, but I continually praised him. However, if I do not show patience towards my brothers and sisters.. that is also bad. Actually, I'm feeling much better now. I'm still missing Ams sooo much. No matter how long it takes, I'll always wait for her... I've already promised her that, and I never break my promises. I think I still need to work on producing patience. I've always thought I was very patient, but sometimes I can really go off. I'm such a baka! I really wanna delete some of the entries I've made, but I thought I'd leave them on as a reminder of how stupid I am. XD
So then, my beloved brethen, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. ~James 1:19-20
No man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethen, these things ought not to be so. ~James 3:8-10

listening to: Nothing...
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
~Right Here Waiting [Richard Marx]
sadlistening to: Nothing...
Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy
Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you
~Right Here Waiting [Richard Marx]

Dah! stupid MSN just shut down... and I was helping someone with CS assignment too. Microsoft and they're maintenance. Oh well, I think I gave her enough ideas to do her assignment without problems. And I should probably go sleep too...
I hope I will start feeling better soon, but I have a feeling I won't. I dunno what I'll say to Ams when she starts talking to me again. Well, g'nite all!

listening to: S.H.E. - Yes I Love You
I'm talking to Vanessa over MSN right now. Something just came up... she mentioned something like "Everything happens for a reason." Does everything indeed happen for a reason? When you ask that, I think it's not being fair to God. Because by saying that it's almost like you are holding God accountable for everything that happens in this world.. including evil things. That is impossible, however, because God cannot do evil things. I think the better question to ask is, "Can God make good out of what is happening in the world?" And the answer to that would definitely be yes! Everything in happens for the good of those who love God. (cf. Romans 8:28). And I think we can trust God to maximize good even when there are so much evil in this world. So personally I do not believe that everything happens for a reason... Humans have free will. God does not control everything that happens... although He could since He is God. Many things that happen are consequences of what we do with out free will. Thus, it has led me to conclude to not everything has a reason. Don't take my word for it though... as I do err... read the Scriptures, and if it does contradict what I've said, disregard my sayings and go with Scripture.

listening to: Jeff Chang - Don't Worry That I'll Be Hurt
I'm starting to get more projects at work, so I'll be pretty busy now. Actually, after I finish a report (probably by end of tomorrow) it won't be that bad. Just testing applications, and no deadlines. Oh, and I got moved to the 13th floor along with a bunch of other people... stupid me forgot my access card [yet again], so I had to borrow one from someone else to go to places. >_> I'm still not doing that great. I'm meeting up with John again tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to that. And yeah, no bible study tomorrow because John (Tors) has some meeting with the Chinese side of the church. And yeah... I'm trying to do many things to keep me from feeling down... it's kinda working, but kinda not... I dunno. >_< Some of these music is kinda depressing too... but I dunno why I keep listening to them. Perhaps it's because they're exactly how I feel. And happy songs irritates me right now. O_o
edit: here's an idea.. if song's are bringing you down, listen to songs in a language you don't understand.. like Japanese. But then again, listening to songs you can understand and relate to is better in a way... but... sigh... [edited at 11:51 pm]
edit: Wow, I edited at the exact same time as I did yesterday.. I just noticed that. O_O [edited at 11:54 pm]

listening to: FlytotheSky - Condition of My Heart
Okay, my last blog was like O_O. That was what I really felt at the time though. I guess I am a bit moody for a guy. *sigh* [hey, i grew up with my sisters and two female cousins okay? =_o] But yeah, I'm actually doing pretty good right now. Talking to some friends cheered me up... and also being silly with Joyce. =P I'm still waiting to play RoTK.... my parents are always watching dramas... eesh! My mom just left for church stuff, but my dad is still watching. I have a feeling I'm not gonna be playing tonight. >_>
edit: I did get to play... what a kick-ass game! =D [edited at 11:51 pm]

listening to: Jolin Tsai - Do You Still Love Me?
My mind has been really unfocused lately... there probably is a reason which shall remain undisclosed here. >_> I really feel like crap, but at the same time I know I can depend on God... so it's not as bad I guess. I don't think I'll be blogging for a while. Gonna spend more time reading books, reading the Bible, and play games.... oh, and watch animes of course. V_V So I'll be back when I'm in blogging mood again. Ja!

listening to: People move stuff around
I'm gonna be moving to a new floor tomorrow... there are people moving things around, and it's very very noisy. It's kinda hard to concentrate. I'm taking my little break right now so I decided to blog. =P When I get home I'm gonna play RoTK again on PS2.. it's so friggin hard! And yeah... I ordered two books from Answers In Genesis... They should arrive in a week or so... Also, I gotta keep up my reading. I've been slacking off, so I gotta finish off my current book and move on to the next one. [maybe something short =D] Oh, and I'm getting off work 30 mins earlier today cuz the workers need to start moving my things. That's good I guess....

gloomy
listening to: Steph Sun - Love's Dictionary
Well, Amrutha needs to spend some devotional time alone. I'm not really sure what's going on, and I'm feeling a bit gloomy. It's alright though, I trust her and I'll support her. So on a lighter note, I was walking around at lunch today and I got freaked out. I was walking and there was this mirror, I looked up and saw a person that looked like me and I was like O_O! And then I realized it was a mirror.... man did I jumped. =P Actually, I'm not as gloomy now. I have things that I can do... and I'll get to talk to Amrutha in a few days when she's ready. =\ >_>

Just came back from Waterloo. The weekend went by way too fast. I had so much fun... I'm missing Amrutha already. *sigh* I burned my finger btw... We were at a Japanese restaurant and I ordered U-don. I touched the bowl with my finger.. and yeah... >_< *itai!* So that sucks. I hate burns. Ah, we had some laughs... at my expense. =_= I'm really tired btw. Yeah. I'm not exactly thinking straight right now, so I'll stop blogging before I write anything stupid... oh wait, it's too late. =P ...Oh yeah, and I ordered some stuff online just now.... I think that's somewhat worth noting. O.o
