It's not the end of the world

Last night I watched SG Idol, Theatre Auditions. It recapped how 100 became 28. Needless to say, those who didn't make the mark were sad or rather downtrodden and cried as if it was the end of the world. To all these who can't take "NO" for an answer, I sympathize with them.

Roxeann - her 2nd attempt to audition for SG Idol. When announced that she was not in, she pleaded with the judges while the rest of her other contestants walked out of the exit door, with their head held low. She asked the judges shamelessly to let her into the competition.. harllow??? (cynical tone + look)

Dick gave a good reason: "How can we let you in when we asked the rest to go home". She was very desperate and kept pleading... Ken gave a good word of wisdom: "Face the defeat bravely and you will improve".

Outside the doors, Gurmit and Daniel were there to offer their comfort to the disheartened losers. I thought SG Idol placed too much emphasis on those who were booted out. Lending them their shoulders to cry on and hugging the girls especially. *GOSH*. Did they get paid to do all that? Show some personality please. If they are out because they have not done their best and/or their best weren't good enough, so be it. Take it as a learning experience. There are others who lost their home, loved ones and are stranded because of an earthquake right now! There's more to life than being booted out of SG idol. For goodness sake, a loss one time shouldn't mar you for the rest of your life.

I have a gut feeling that I won't be watching the rest of the show. It is too predictable with no originality... - talk about being "original", it gets worse. 4 judges instead of 3, 2 hosts instead of 1. Com'on, they are doing the same things. More doesn't make it merrier, messier perhaps.

I wonder what Class 95 hosts of DJ have got to say about SG Idol. I hope it is something truthful.

ps: SG Idol producer seemed to have a soft spot for Mr Jonathon Leong... he received the most 'coverage' compared to the rest of the other 28 who got in. *goshhhhh*

truth hurts but it heals too

2 nights ago, I asked a very close friend of mine if I am an insistent person. Haha.. without any second thoughts, she said yes. Wow, that drove a long nail right through my heart. If you ask, you'll get the answers. Of course, initially I would think to myself, I do not think I am an insistent person all the time but I only insist when I am sure about certain things close to my heart i.e. when I have been seeking God about it or it is IN my system due to long periods of conditioning e.g. spiritually or just my personal value system. That analysis certainly made me felt better but it also got me reflecting (truth heals). As I thought through, certainty about something for me will activate a wish/desire to see it happen immediately and NOW. If it is God's will, it is NOW. As I look back on buying our first flat, it was the same. When I first view the unit (my current place), I was quite sure that the house was IT. But my then fiance and husband now do not think so and asked me ...

Beyond the acts of verbal confession

Most Word-Faith teachers will use Mark 11:22 - 24 to justify their teaching and practise on "Faith as Positive Confession". Mark 11:22 - 24 (NASB) 22And Jesus answered saying to them, "Have faith in God. 23Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and castinto the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he saysis going to happen, it will be granted him. 24Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe thatyou have received them, and they will be granted you. 25Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone,so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. Word-Faith teachers propogate that whatever you confess will come to pass but you must believe you have already received it. Therefore, if you still have lingering symptoms of an illness, confess that you are healed and not mention your symptoms then you are healed. I believe there's a ...

Mind

Ok. I admit, I use my mind a lot. I think a lot about many things in life. It used to be a great barrier for me to understand 'spiritual things'. For example, I didn't know how to see vision, how does the word of knowledge and word of wisdom operate. It is something abstract and uncomprehendable at stage of my life when I was exploring. Over the years, as I walked the journey of all these, God has taught me lots of important lessons. There was even a time when I was told "not to think so much" just be led by the Spirit of God. As I looked back, I realized that the MIND is an important faculty that God has created. WE are to love the Lord our God, with all our HEART, our SOUL, our MIND and our STRENGTH. We are to love God with our thoughts and what we think about. The MIND has to be renewed so that IT CAN APPROVE/DISCERN the will of the Lord - Romans 12:2. The MIND is the only faculty if renewed would be able to KNOW/APPROVE and discern God's will. God's wi...
