Update.
I had Geog Mock today. I did the question on tourism. Part B was quite difficult. It was about the integrated resort. Oh well.
Oh. I passed my Chinese "Mid-Year", actually my school didnt have Mid-Year Exams. So they took the results from my Mock. I think I improved this year. Thanks to my teacher. haha. So looking forward to EL Oral Prelim. LOL.
Anyway GTA IV is out. Oh, that's so random! It has hit the highest score ever. 10.0/10.0. Perfect score. Can a game actually reach be 'Perfection' ??
An issue from the Daily Bread:
It's Not A Game
My former neighbour often talked about "the game of life," and I can understand why he did. It's part of human nature to approach life as one big game made up of a lot of little games. Competing can be fun, exciting, and stimulating.
But life is a while lot more than a game -- especially for a follower of Jesus Christ. When a believer needs to own the biggest house, drive the largest SUV, get the promotion first, and win every argument, something's terribly wrong from God's point of view. It's not ring to run over people's feelings, bend or break the rules, and gloat over victories.
To approach life as one big game that you always have to win is to live in hopeless delusion and fantasy. While material possessions, professional success, and personal victories are enjoyable, they last only for this life. Then they're all left behind.
Jesus instructed His disciples to deny themselves, identify with His cross, and follow Him in self-denial, and for some that even meant death (Mark 8:34-35). He made it clear to His disciples that artificial victories in "the game of life" don't count for much. What really counts is what's done for the Lord.

If I have but Jesus, only Jesus -
Nothing else in all the world beside -
O then everything is mine in Jesus;
For my needs and more He will provide. -Olander
