"i wish"

i woke up this morning and listened to last sundays sermon at CCC by Ying. I think its one of the best ive heard from him. I was really touched from it and really made me think and reflect how some things are so meaningless and sometimes putting us astray from the big picture.

I liked the fact that he pointed how in society we are often follow old ways to better ourselves..even tho these ways still leave us being the same.

• new clothes
• weight training
• eating the healthier foods

in the end our physical self on this earth will eventually perish. It brings me back to the time also at work with my workmate (who enjoys talking about philisophical/religious issues) who has brought up in the past about Existentialism. Apparently an idea that we all do on earth in the end results in meaningless. I can understand this from the previous notion esp when it comes to consumerism and 'improving' ourselves in similar departments.

I got myself thinking again on how much importance i should put on God. Through the sermon i thought back to a 90s song by Skee-Lo - I wish. The chorus goes as follows :

I wish I was little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a six four Impala .. then i thought some of the words should be replaced with passion, fruitful growth, better relationships with family.

2day i treked to one of hong kong's islands on before on the way the topic of religion popped up among the table. 5th auntie, uncle, youngest auntie, mum and I was at the table coz i mentioned i wanted to visit the big church at Wan Chai. It was actually pretty tiring after all of that but i think it was great to speak up on what i believed in.

On other news my dad called through and said he couldnt start my car!! I was in complete shock but i think NRMA should do the goods in fixing it. Im so dependant on the car..
