7 Deadly Sins?

Someone asked what are the 7 deadly sins? I ain't sure.. so do some homework and provide the following info just for your reading..kekeke.. Wah lau.. u do 99% right but do 1% wrong, that's it, man.. No heaven for u.. Guess it's hell for most of all? kekeke... But it also says, it's not stated in the scriptures.. so, can jolly well ignore lor? Just keep to 10 commandments lor.. Well, the following has been retrieved from the website: http://members.aol.com/twarren20/seven.html Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. The list consisted of the following: 1. Pride 2. Avarice (Greed) 3. Envy 4. Wrath 5. Lust 6. Gluttony 7. Sloth 1. PRIDE: This is the unwillingness to look at one's faults honestly, or of esteeming ourselves greatly based on an excessive consciousness of abilities or worth. This is vanity, and is often euphemistically called, 'self respect.' 2. AVARICE: This is simply Greed. This sin is the inordinate love of possessions and desire for either material wealth, or to gain more than one needs. 3. ENVY: This sin is that of jealousy or perverted love because it is the love and desire to own what belongs to someone else (exodus 20:17). This transgression is the discontentment over another's superiority over us in possessions or some good fortune. Envy is the resentment of the good others will or have received. 4. WRATH: This is the transgression of anger or strong exasperation in rage at something or someone. It is often the result of our impatience or of having our pride hurt. 5. LUST: This is the sin of having an inordinate and intense longing or appetite for something such as money, or sexual cravings. It is often manifested in a self-destructive drive for some pleasure regardless of it's value, merit, or legality. 6. GLUTTONY: This sin manifested in someone who indulges himself excessively in eating or drinking. 7. SLOTH: This sin is the inclination to being lazy or to abhor the work ethic. Man is to provide for himself and his household, and being idle is a contradiction to this command of God. hehe.. how many do you score for the 7 deadly sins stated above? kekeke.. For me ah.. hehe, I have sinned 4 out of 7! PRIDE, LUST, GLUTTONY & SLOTH... sigh..

Forgiving & Forgetting Someone..

Forgivin & Forgetting someone is difficult. Especially when he has carved something so deep into your heart and soul. Something that has mattered alot in your life especially. Sigh.. To forgive and forget all his mistakes? TO FORGIVE ~~~~~~~~~~ To allow him for his past mistakes made, bear no grudges or hard feelings, accept his apologies and acknowledging that he's sincere and genuine is just so hard for me. TO FORGET ~~~~~~~~~ To put all those past behind, not raking abt it with negativity over and over again and letting go of all the feelings of hurt, anger and disappointment is just too difficult for me too. Well, everytime I dealt with him, I've this urge to be revengeful, anger will just suddenly rise.. I've become very defensive and protective of myself towards him and his words. His empty promises and misbehaviours. Countless disappointments.. That I've grown so numb and indifference to his existence. Now that he apologises to me for realising his mistake, is it so easy to just forgive him and forget all his past doings and mistakes? Some things are better left alone.. I'd rather not work on it. I've nothing against myself.. I should not let myself fall into your hands once again. When I'm with you, my moodiness will start setting in. I don't wish to see myself back there once again. My days of depression are over and I certainly pray that they stay out of my life. Since you dun bring me happiness but depressing memories, Please just let me go and stop trying to make things work.. It will never work because I will never be able to forgive and forget what you have done to me.. It's neverending miseries..

One must choose between handling frustration and disappointment and emptiness. Well, some people quit Tobacco for better wealth and health.

If feelings of irritability, anger, and frustration occur, they usually begin on the first day, peak during the first couple of weeks, and disappear within a month. What To Do ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Take a walk. Exercise. Reduce caffeine. Soak in a hot bath. Read up on relaxation/meditation techniques and use one. Take one minute and, with your eyes closed, pay attention to your breathing pattern. Breathe in deeply through your nose and breathe out through your mouth.

The thing is, there must be someone out there who will appreciate.. or else, you won't put ur heart n soul into it, right? I did put some effort and make my mooncake a little more giam (salty) than theirs.. kekeke.. WHen Teacher was teaching, I was caught yawning many times..

My childishness..

Strong people make as many and as ghastly mistakes as weak people. The difference is that strong people admit them, laugh at them, learn from them. That is how they become strong. -Richard Needham I got to admit that I do agree with many who commented that I am very childish. A child wants things NOW. A child hates to having to wait and so will commit to future slavery to achieve ownership of TOYS NOW! A child doesn't worry about being able to provide in the future, that's the parents problem. Hmmm, I have similarities to the traits of a child as above.. hahaaha.. Of course, the above is not all of the traits of a child. I'm just quoting what's relevant to our discussion here. keke.. Childishness is the immature thinking of DEPENDENCE. To mature to adulthood childish thinking must make a paradigm shift to a new world view. To put these behaviour away is to change our thinking, followed by our way of living to one of taking responsibility for our own life and wellbeing, independant of parental support. Well, I have always take responsibility of my own life but I have never consider my own wellbeing. Worse, I know my parents will always be there for me if I ever fail in my life.. The parental support.. I'm turning 27 in days and I'm still behaving like a child. Incredible, isn't it? Yes, it is very unbelievable in my eyes too. How did I managed to survive all these years with such mentality? Haha.. I'm fortunate to have met so many people who are kind, nice and with good intention and loves me to take such good care of me.. hehehe.. I still remember what my ex-boss says to me.. That I would be bullied when I work out there.. True enough, I was bullied so badly that I have gone into depression. I thank my friends who were there for me to lift me up from that pool of blood that I was drowning in.. hehehe.. Especially, my new friend, SOH who has been secretly assigned by my brudder Keith n sister Gwenda to care and guide me every now and then. He never fails to respond to my needs and vulnerabilities.. My brudder Keith has highlighted that I need to take control of my life now. It's getting late.. I know that very well too.. Here's the need for the sense of urgency to change too.. My relationship fails, my career path is not established and I'm slowly losing my parents' trust to take good care of myself and my future care for them. Brudder Keith always remind me not to put BGR as priority to all others. Which, rationally, I do agree.. I will try, okay? I will try, brudder.. By the way, did I tell u guys that I'm heading for the sheares bridge run this sunday on Sept 11? Well, hehehehe.. I'm only attempting the 6km run lor.. Heard there will be a roadshow for the standard chartered run.. Heard it's cheaper to sign up at a cheaper rate too.. Maybe I shall do just that.. Sign up for a 10km run, if they have the range there.. kekkeke.. Went for run in the evening with Keith at 7pm on Wed and it's getting more n more exciting n faster when the visibility becomes lesser and lesser.. You see shadows running towards you or just right behind you.. My fear of the dark is slowly surfacing.. But well, there's nothing to fear here cos my brudder Keith will be there to protect me.. heheheh.. Tomorrow, going for jog in the morning. Will get to chat with the lao beng (nicked by Brudder Keith) again.. He's such a nice chap.. He kinda waited for us to leave before he close the shop.. Hehehe.. He even tried to advise me on running at night.. Different from hiking.. Must maintain my consistent speed.. etc.. Anyway, Catch up with you guys again.. Haven't been writing much.. Suddenly, write so much.. Later, you guys get choked! Hahaha.. Will write abt relationships soon after I made the first step to overcome my childish behaviour.. Of course, I can't mature overnight.. We'll keep track of my growth together! Ciaos..
