The Choice is Yours

I was picking out old books to read from my shelves, and I picked out John Mason's book. I randomly open a page. The chapter seems to serve as a good reminder to me, and since I was fooling around with Soundcloud app, resulting in the recording below.

Sometimes in life we make choices that leads us to mistakes, and while trying make it right we make more mistakes but does it mean we stop trying? We stop learning?

No, we shouldn't. Although to an extent,  while time waits for no man,  procrastination in making decisions could make it worse. So the faster you weigh your pros and cons, the quicker you know what's right for you and you get on the wagon, the better the outcome. On the hand, hasty decisions without proper thoughts in to it can bring more harm than good.

Life is complicated, lets try making it simpler! J

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

               Reverse aging is a common and widely used phrase or tagline in this generation however never would anyone think they can really reverse aging. Literally having our age moving from 40, 39, 38, 37, 36 down to maybe 21, that would be an ideal age. There are botox, anti-aging cream, and these will enhance the outer side of us but what if in a blink of an eye, you grow younger and younger by the age and physique. That would be going against the law of nature and definitely against God's creation plan.
              Benjamin Button was brought into this world as a over 80 year old baby. Not only was the doctor mad at the talking old 'man', even the nurse reacted in agitation and disgust for baby Benjamin. And the father was going insane by the seconds of the whole ordeal. The story goes on about his life in the reverse gear and his journey through this life and the people around him. I'm in the midst of reading the E-Book but the movie is a mild version from the book. I did enjoy the movie starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. This phenomenal story is well written by F.Scott Fitzgerald and I really hope I do get to finish the book. Maybe you can remember him by his famous book The Great Gatsby.

Logos Hope

 Goodbye Doulos, hello Logos Hope ! The sister ship of Doulos came for the first time (as far as I know) to Penang around end of August and is leaving in a few days to Port Klang. I visited twice while they were here in Penang. I love books though not as passionate as before,I bought 6 books in two visits. Just love the smell of the pages of the books, causing me to linger longer at the library. The books are reasonable priced and a fair variety of all kinds of books. I am so fortunate to have found some music books, which universities would use for only RM 40. Three books for RM40, which would have cost me a few hundred if I were to buy in other bookshops. So blessed!

I would recommend you to go for the tour of ship to get to know the ship better and to see the different areas of the ship and the mission of this ministry. It is only RM10 per person for a group of  at least 9 people.

Visit the website to know more about them and its schedules.
