I love this post so much that I really want to share it over here.

The Dangers Of Digging Pits

Daily Devotion

From the Writings of Ray Stedman

Whoever digs a pit may fall into it; whoever breaks through a wall may be bitten by a snake. Whoever quarries stones may be injured by them; whoever splits logs may be endangered by them (Ecclesiastes 10:8-9).

I have been greatly inspired by two Linguistics tutors this semester, and I feel incredibly lucky to learn so much from them. They are, by far, the best teachers I have ever had and met. Paroo made me love Phonetics and Phonology while James made me appreciate the beauty of researches and how we can conduct them ethically and accurately. I didn't ( Read more... )

I forgot when was the last time the five of us hung out, and I never realized how much I've missed them till just now. It's been five years since we graduated from Secondary School, and we have all grown so much. The juxtaposition of the us now and the us in the past is quite stark. They have all grown so much more beautiful and our conversation ( Read more... )

I have always loved walking home at night. No matter how I tired I am, I will always walk home from the MRT because it's the only time I get to be alone with my thoughts. Perhaps darkened environment and yellow street lights instigate deeper thoughts, but I find myself searching for answers and constantly thinking about life most during the night. ( Read more... )

Okay, so what happened yesterday during HG2020 class was that two guys were talking about how they did not see the need for language maintenance during a class discussion. It sparked a really heated debate (most intense debate ever in any of my tutorial classes) and I was furious at their short-sightedness and immaturity and imperialistic view. ( Read more... )

I was walking home from Compass Point tonight after an extremely enjoyable night with the girls and I briefly looked at the moon. I don't know why but I always have this habit of looking at the moon when I walk home in the night. The moon was exceptionally bright tonight; I had such a clear view of the moon that the greyish patches on it (the ( Read more... )

My friend told me a few days ago that he didn't understand why I would make compromises for people who are not cooperative enough and he said that he would never do that for anybody. He didn't see the necessity for compromises, and that if those people do not cooperate, he will either lash out at them or completely ignore them and let the entire ( Read more... )

Rain. Again.

Memories rushed to my brain like strong waves crashing onto the sand, and I clutched my head, screaming, again. They wouldn’t stop the torture; the memories we’ve shared were replaying vehemently in my head. My tears have stained my face, and my heart was hurting so badly it was if it had been torn apart a million times. Once again, I ( Read more... )

Just because someone had committed evil acts in the past, does that mean that he will never be able to change? As the old saying goes, "A leopard never changes its spots.", but it does not apply to everyone, does it? I was reading The Secret Speech by Tom Rob Smith, (hands down the best history crime fiction writer ever) and the main character in ( Read more... )

I spent the last moments of 2011 with my group of closest friends, and started 2012 with them as well. Nothing could have been better. This group of friends have been with me for eight long years, and we have been through so much together. To be able to stand together after all this time, it's really an amazing feeling ( Read more... )
