A day in the wild

I experienced the mightiness of small creatures, for instance, MOSQUITOES.

They can be the top paparazzi if they want to. They really tail you whenever you go ( a good spokesman for the DIGI "I will follow you" ). And then suck your blood when you least notice it. The moment you feel the itchiness, it is too late. All your exposed area will be so swollen and red.

Apart from the mosquitoes, everything was splendid.

Silver leaf monkeys with its golden baby, which will turn dark as its parents after a-few-month old.

This is when I discovered where did boys learn their hair-styling techniques from.

The mud skipper.

Great Egret

Chesnut-bellied Malkoha

Soaring eagle

And finally the glorious sunset

Monkey to human?

The theory of evolution says that human evolved from monkey. Do you believe that?

Well... If you were to ask me that, my answer is surely a big big NO. I'm a Christian and I believe that God created us all.

And my friend, a free thinker, said that: "I don't care whether human was a result of creation or evolution, but I Don't want to have anything to do with MONKEYS!!!"

When I was just a kid, I do believe that and I even searched my whole body for the possible "monkey tail" that may not be completely evolved. Sometimes, I can spend the whole day wondering where all the hair and tail had gone and of course back to square one...

Having a second thought, it will be certainly very scary if we were to evolved from monkeys.

Will the monkey captured in zoo suddenly becomes a human?

Or if monkey evolved into man entirely, why will there be monkey still???

Something missing

There had been a little less laughter in the class now, not because of the gruelling application procedures to UK, not the on-coming A2 exam, not the don't-know-how to write personal statement, but the disappearance of our dearest friend, SWT.

*P.S. This picture was taken before she started her inhuman strict diet. She might be much much slimmer now.

Without her "cha xie" and "chao xiao" and also her "leng xiao hua", time crawls at an incredibly slow pace during classes. And our gang seems to be much smaller now. It seems that there is a significant difference between a gang of 9 and 10 (obviously).

Mysterious as she was, she left us with zillions of question marks even without her presence. We never know how, where, what, when and most importantly WHY she left.

We never know what situation she is in now. She is in her time of difficulty, facing the giant, alone. She had her reason.

We can only pray the best for her.

*P.S. We love you.

You are not an accident

You are who you are for a reason.

You're part of an intricate plan.

You're a precious and perfect unique design,

Called God 's special woman or man.

You look like you look for a reason.

Our God made no mistake.

He knit you together within the womb,

You're just what he wanted to make.

The parents you had were the ones he chose,

And no matter how you may feel,

They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,

And they bear the Master's seal.

No, that trauma you faced was not easy.

And God wept that it hurt you so;

But it was allowed to shape your heart

So that into his likeness you'd grow.

You are who you are for a reason,

You've been formed by the Master's rod.

You are who you are, beloved,

Because there is a God!
