update!

i think my blogging frequency has reallly dropped drastically! haha.. anyway just an update on my life, i just passed out of my course in army and i'm officially in unit life.. but i haven't gone to the new unit yet. haha. anyway it's army.. so there's really nothing much to be excited about... at least i'm out of that stupid building...

oh yeah i bought a new comp just a few weeks ago. and i bought a new monitor just yesterday! really happy with it! but it's burning a huge hole in my pocket!! haha.. lots of my savings went into that! and there's still christmas shopping to do!! haha... hope i'll be able to get some money soon!! haha... i'm going to watch jing's dance concert with stella and chien and joel this wed! haha.. so cool! it's been really really long since i last watched a concert! and on a weekday too!!! haha.. anyway, here's something interesting i found.

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects.When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:'I don't believe that God exists.''Why do you say that?' asked the customer. 'Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?Would there be abandoned children?If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things.'The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because hedidn't want to start an argument.The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street withlong, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard.He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered thebarber shop again and he said to the barber: 'You know what? Barbers do not exist.''How can you say that?' asked the surprised barber.'I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!''No!' the customer exclaimed. 'Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair anduntrimmed beards, like that man outside.''Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me.''Exactly!' affirmed the customer. 'That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Himfor help.That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world.'
