I'm still learning, of course, there are so many different kinds of people in this world, and i can't please them all, neither can i help them all, cuz some just don't want to be helped.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;3.//Being a Christian(Actually, I prefer the Term Child of God. to me, the meaning is just different)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I don't give off the 'need to share the gospel with you' vibe. I always believed in balance, sincerity. to show others the Love of Christ, which He has given to Me, instead of just merely telling others about it. this one, is a long story. which i'd rather not elaborate on my blog due to my often conflicting views on this topic with most people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;4.//Toy Collecting Hobby&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I notice i have a knack/or gift of God, for proving people wrong in things, especially their beliefs. for reasons unknown or unspecified. qoute Ethan "In my mind, people who are Transformers collectors usually don't get laid. But you have a girlfriend and I don't! How is that possible." ha. ha. ha. ha. i cannot explain this phenomenon to you. because i myself do not know the answer. but that aside, i've recently amassed a collection worth about close to a $1000 SGD worth of Transformers and Marvel figures. yes, it is alot of money, i know. but I do control my spending alot. one would wonder how i have money to spend on my dearest Vivian too. haha. but that too, is another story.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;End.//Conclusion&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;well, welcome to the life of Henzy David. changing as the years go by, getting better. sometimes i hate my life, especially during the schooling days. but what i have now, i'm pretty thankful for them. i see that i'm really blessed by Father to have what i have now. well, i'd want to continue helping others, giving to people what i can give, after all, it's only when you give, that you can receive, receive not only more than what you give, but also to receive a certain joy, that is found only in giving. &lt;u&gt;life's short, you don't have forever on Earth, so seek for the Eternal, instead of the Material, and once you make a choice, don't ever regret it. Don't think too much, don't worry too much. Always have a balance in the things you do. Always be thankful and appreciative. For these are the true keys to having a great life.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28778322-5589918324824682944?l=the-brethren.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/feeds/5589918324824682944/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28778322&amp;postID=5589918324824682944' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/5589918324824682944'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/5589918324824682944'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/2010/03/300310-yes-yes-one-of-those-blog-posts.html' title='30/03/10 - yes yes. one of those blog posts.'/><author><name>Henzy David</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/230/515434734_0f320e5d5e.jpg?v=0'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28778322.post-6286609185799756403</id><published>2010-03-15T23:33:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-03-16T14:33:41.195+08:00</updated><title type='text'>15/03/10 - a list of things to talk about</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/S58leVXoOkI/AAAAAAAABMo/pAwv3lGDNa8/s1600-h/IMG_8487.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer;

HAHAHA) with Valentine's day. so all we chinese out there can call this one, Valentines day burn.....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;on the first morning of the first day of chinese new year, already bad start. had a small lil' argument with my dad in the morning about going back to M'sia. you know i dislike going there. but i kinda found the reason after going in. thank God that He allowed me to see a different light this year. i don't know why, but it was just different.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;aside from that. yes, Vivian, my dearest bei er, i really do miss you alot. hell, i don't even know how much is enough to describe to you this irritating feeling of missing you yet not being able to see you, contact you or even talk to you. Thank God again that He provided the internet connection over there at your aunt's place. haha.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;CNY loot was good. now i have funds. hahaha. time to go on a long awaited good date with you. haha. waiting for awhile more to convert my RM into SGD, then go on a spree at China Square. lol. provided that i have stuff to spree on. not forgetting to save money. haha. aye. that's all for now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this whole period has really allowed me to see how much we really love each other. hasn't it? it's good. it's like, He purposely did this so that we'd see it. so i'm thankful to Him. and also thankful to Him for keeping me and you safe, esp last night whr i almost fell sick. haha, after the tomyam fish and coke with chivas. haha.  i know you'll probably hit me on the head after reading this. haha. but yea. love you Vivian.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;for the other readers of this blog, my apologies. esp to Jasper and gang. i know you need not see all the written affection and etc. but whatever. haha. my bad. i really had to do it. haha.

hamster and rat very far off know. i was like, you don't know what's a rat man. lol, where got hamster so loooong one.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;lol. jeez.  for the love of God.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28778322-4123758221961565723?l=the-brethren.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/feeds/4123758221961565723/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28778322&amp;postID=4123758221961565723' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/4123758221961565723'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/4123758221961565723'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/2010/01/240110-i-just-realised.html' title='24/01/10 - i just realised.'/><author><name>Henzy David</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/230/515434734_0f320e5d5e.jpg?v=0'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28778322.post-4948057102889847527</id><published>2010-01-23T03:16:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-01-23T03:21:48.672+08:00</updated><title type='text'>23/01/10 - the best is yet to come</title><content type='html'>i've really been wondering about myself alot lately. my purpose, my life and all. seriously. when's all this gonna end?

And it seems like Ivan hasn't changed, still telling me that it's not good to get into relationships when you're young, and he's still doing it now. not that it changes anything. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;then there was my baptism, and all the cards related were talking about how I'd grow up and mature, and become a great man for Christ, how proud people were of me for taking the step of faith, how even people that i weren't close to or knew nuts about then would just even contribute to the card. honestly, while i read those cards, i really wonder how many expectations have i crushed beneath my heel, how many people have i disappointed. i guess i didn't turn out the way they would have expected me to become.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;and i do wonder, what was their impression of me then? how has that changed? do they look down on me now? do they feel that i'm hopeless? have they given up on changing me? have they abandoned me to be done in by my own actions? what happened Henzy David? what went wrong? where's the fault line? i honestly don't know. it just seemed like one day, i woke up and everything became the way it is now.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;reminiscence. those good times are gone. our moment is over. honestly, i'd rather be living my coming days being positive, looking at the bright side, enjoying every moment that i have for what it is, for it's true potential. there are many things troubling my heart, God knows. things i can't do anything about, things that make me worried, things that make me consider. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;i don't even know how to end this blog post. haha. my my. sigh. look at the time. it's already 6. there's no need to regret Henzy David. Que Sera Sera, whatever will be will be. i will leave this world with a smile on my face. i will not live in regret, and for all the things that i do, i'll do it to my fullest. enjoy life, it's short, but it can be sweet. if you know how to twist it to your advantage.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28778322-24576526753031121?l=the-brethren.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/feeds/24576526753031121/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28778322&amp;postID=24576526753031121' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/24576526753031121'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/24576526753031121'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/2010/01/060110-first-post-of-year-and-im.html' title='06/01/10 -

a new chapter</title><content type='html'>Duskfall: as the new year begins, what are your thoughts brethren?&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: well, its been a great year, but what i'm hoping for is a greater year ahead. this year has been good, full of ups and downs, but it surely has been good. and i really want to give thanks to God for certain things that have happened over the year. it's been an eventful '09, break ups, new relationships, new revelations. but what i really want to do for 10' is really to begin another new chapter in my life. this year, what i want to do is to really get things right. for those who's walk is righteous, are those which God will be with. because i know that in this current relationship that i'm having with Vivian, God really has to be the center of it. otherwise, things are really gonna fall apart. we've come to far not only by our own efforts, but also by the blessings of the father up above.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;another thing that i just really wanna get past this year, get into the next year of studies and just finish up everything, get my diploma. seems like it shows to many that i'm not really putting in much effort for my work. well, guess it's time to change that. haha, with such a hardworking and always-striving-for-excellence-girlfriend, you're bound to be affected.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;there's just one notable that i'm really considering. for the past 2-3 weeks, Darkness has really been the main topic of discussion for me. indeed, the Darkest Nights give way to the Brightest Days. this indeed is true. without Darkness, there can be no Light. this is also true, as the strongest Light source can only be seen when all the other lights fade to darkness. but for me, hiding in the darkness has taken it's toll. as much as i enjoy the shade, its tiring to keep up the act. so there's the consideration. step out into the Light and let all see what i truly am, or just remain where i am and remain as i am. i shall decide this soon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Duskfall: it seems you've made up most stuff in your mind, that is good. very well. looks like you've got it all covered brethren. you should be able to make it through this year again. i'm here, as always, if you need me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me: the realization that Humans ultimately find solace and comfort in knowing that they are not alone. this is a powerful notion, it gives them motivation, a source of strength and courage, something to live for. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Duskfall: indeed, it is a notion that serves you well. knowing that those who have been beside you for so long, those that stand by your side, truly appreciate you. that gives you strength doesn't it. the strength to pull yourself together and not allow yourself to fall apart. but i guess we shall cover this topic another time. it's getting late. we still have much to do later. rest well brethren, Happy New Year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28778322-2143058238556553098?l=the-brethren.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/feeds/2143058238556553098/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28778322&amp;postID=2143058238556553098' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/2143058238556553098'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/2143058238556553098'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/2010/01/010110-new-chapter.html' title='01/01/10 -

AFA</title><content type='html'>i believe Christmas came early for Henzy David.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;my recent endeavors to Sunshine Plaza, China Square and most importantly, AFA 09' has brought Christmas early for Henzy David. scoring the loot of one Buster Optimus Prime and a set of metal transformers insignia stickers from AFA, i still wonder why am i still considering the Final Fantasy figures by PlayArts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;it's been an exciting time exploring these places and just looking out for the stuff that you're looking for, finding them there, discovering that the prices they fetch are much cheaper than expected. yes, and Vivian would know the expression on my face when i have either found something i like, for example an exclusive figure or a prototype, like the Defender Optimus Prime, set for release like, next year along with Leader Starscream, or am just admiring or considering the details on the piece.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;many thanks to you my dear for the invite to AFA, otherwise i would have been able to lay hands on the buster prime this early. haha.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;no doubt, with good news, definitely comes bad news. there's been a few situations happening recently, and only today have i found out the real reason for. admittedly, it's abit personal to be blogging it up here. but i know, or at least, it has been revealed to me what exactly the cause is. and i am dealing with it now. i don't want it to cause my downfall. i guess you could call it taking things for granted, or even say, being overconfident in one's own abilities, in short, pride has surfaced. time to deal with it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;i am Henzy David, but Henzy David has to consider the factors that have made him what he is today, and has to treasure them, respect them, and learn to give thanks and listen. otherwise, the people around him wouldn't do the same to him. another thing is knowing that the reason as to why something ticks you off, can be said to be due to the reason that you yourself have not dealt with that certain matter inside yourself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;guess that's all for tonight. gotta go sleep. it's 3.06am. haha.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;for pictures of the Transfomers ROTF Buster Optimus Prime, check out my Facebook TF gallery. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=98903&amp;amp;id=604810635&amp;amp;ref=mf"&gt;http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=98903&amp;amp;id=604810635&amp;amp;ref=mf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;cheers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28778322-5393280978052970624?l=the-brethren.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/feeds/5393280978052970624/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28778322&amp;postID=5393280978052970624' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/5393280978052970624'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/5393280978052970624'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/2009/11/231109-believe-christmas-came-early-afa.html' title='23/11/09 - a believe christmas came early.

because he's seen the latest updates to the leader class Starscream figure of the Revenge of the Fallen Movie line, and is very very pleased. i'm admiring the amount of effort put into the design of these figures, and boy am i pleased. the amount of detail is awesome. these figures are real beauties. haha. if you're interested, you can ask me, i'll pass you some links.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2.//Injury after Injury&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yes, i am injured. physically. i don't know whether people will believe it, or just thinking that i'm trying to chao keng. but yes, i have a injured right foot for dunno what reason, a sore throat that seems to be healing and a left thumb that had a dunno-how-many-inch TV sit on it for a mere 10 seconds leaving it numb for 3 days already... damn it. but the thumb's healing, the foot is another story. still wondering what's going on with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3.//Stupid Retarded Lousy Plotless Movie&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;called Jennifer's Body. my rating? 0/5 stars. yeap, you see it right, a big, hmm maybe not that big, fat zero. walked out of the cinema feeling like some retarded guy who went to watch a dumb movie. lol. wayne la, your fault! shouldn't listen to wayne's advices and just gone and watch something that i really wanted to watch, like, This Is It. and yes, for those who just want to watch the movie for megan fox, i have totally no interest whatsoever in megan fox. zero. in fact, the movie kinda spoilt my impression of her. so much better in TF.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is it, trailer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cyrkcz7msfY&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cyrkcz7msfY&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;though i don't really have much interest in MJ too. it's just, so much more, cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4.//Left with 1 more week of School&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and i'm rushing up all my projects so that i can at least have something to show. even though i've had a tough time with schoolwork due to some particular reasons back then that i had to deal with. i wonder why my own life always has something appearing when there's school. it'd be so much better during the holidays. lol. but oh well, important issues will always be important issues. i have a few more projects to go. all the way to the finish line Duskfall. don't lose heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5.//Love the Cold Weather&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;because it creates opportunities to snuggle up to the person you love. lol. aside from that, it also prevents much amounts of perspiration that makes you smell bad, even to yourself. though it is a give an take, but how heavy can an umbrella be? haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that's all i guess. haha. sometimes, i wish i can just put all my feelings up here. but that'd be a major turn off for most people. haha. keeping all the emotions inside of me is really a tough job. now, i'm hungry. =S that's all for now folks. stay tuned.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28778322-2085856741984070532?l=the-brethren.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/feeds/2085856741984070532/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28778322&amp;postID=2085856741984070532' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/2085856741984070532'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/2085856741984070532'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/2009/11/021109-cold-weather-gives-reasons-to.html' title='02/11/09 - cold weather gives reasons to snuggle.'/><author><name>Henzy David</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/230/515434734_0f320e5d5e.jpg?v=0'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28778322.post-4860206772239304195</id><published>2009-10-29T01:51:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-10-29T02:01:18.820+08:00</updated><title type='text'>29/10/09 - home is where the heart is</title><content type='html'>Home is where the Heart is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this phrase is has been given new meaning today. to me at least. home is where the heart is. where my heart is is with God and with Vivian. you ask, how can i be in two places, well, while Vivian can be in two places or be where God is, God can be anywhere at anytime, and can be where Vivian is. so yea, that prolly explains most stuff to you people out there who just want a logical explanation to most stuff. ye of little faith!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;indeed, there's been many changes in the past few months, and good changes. i'm really starting to rely and seek God more. mostly because of the appearance of Vivian Ma in my life. haha, yes, i'm really proud of you my dear, for the things that you've gone through, learnt and persevered through. thank God(meant like an instruction, not a sigh of relief like something bad just ended), for these things have really made you a better person. =) haha. and yes, because of that, i do love you more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i think you guys are probably sick of hearing this or out there complaining in your hearts like why is Henzy David doing this again, like PDA PDA!!! lol. but whatever.

my internal conversation</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Duskfall&lt;/span&gt;: what's wrong brethren? why the insecurity?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: i'm not sure. i'm not even sure where to start.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Duskfall&lt;/span&gt;: just begin, where ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: i don't know, it's just. there's so many things to consider. and i don't want to have this insecure feelings. but these few days, all the feelings are just so messed up. the sadness, the considerations, the despair and disappointment, the wondering, the fear. i really just want to get over this and move on with life. i don't want my old life to keep creeping back into the present.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Duskfall&lt;/span&gt;: well, it was you who chose to fight the insecurities in your heart. knowing that you have to overcome it in order to move on. i know what you're doing here. i know your purpose. but you know brethren, insecurity cannot be fought with determination alone. insecurity can only be triumphed by trust. trust coupled together with assurance works best. but without the assurance, you can only rely on trust to pull you through.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: i understand. but that's where the problem comes in. i know i'm not the kind who trusts easily. looking back and having gone through that many pains in my life. pains that may be small to others, but significant enough for me to be hurt. pains that seem insignificant, but push me to invoke a barrier of defence. the exact same barrier which prevents me from putting my trust in people. the exact same barrier that i need to bring down in order for me to move on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Duskfall&lt;/span&gt;: you know. it's simple. just trust in the people around you. Trust in God, trust in Vivian, trust in your friends, the ShadowHearts, Jasper, etc. you know the list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: i don't know. i'm just falling apart at the seams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Duskfall&lt;/span&gt;: you know. you've already come this far to talk about this here. to share with people your heart and feelings. that shows that you don't want to be alone anymore. that you've had enough of the misconceptions and misunderstanding that people have about you because of your way of doing things. that honestly, you really want to be open and you really want to set out into the light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: i wish i really knew what i was thinking. i miss her. i wish she was here so that there'd be someone to comfort me. but yet, i know that i can't rely on her, she too has her own issues to deal with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Duskfall&lt;/span&gt;: you wonder why we think so much don't you. come on Brethren, pull yourself together. don't let these distractions stop you. you know the devil can't get to her, she's strong. and that's why he's here. targeting you. all these feelings are just distractions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: i know. i know. i know how it works. it just that i feel i need someone to encourage me, to push me forward. i can only do so to a certain extent. which consumes energy, and my energy levels are currently low. as much as i give off the impression that i seem full of energy and what not. you know, i think the pain's starting to set in. the pain from it all, from the hurtful words and actions. to the sarcasm and irritating comments. i guess they're finally starting to take their toll on me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Duskfall&lt;/span&gt;: ah, you see. here we have the situation. it's a risk brethren. you choose to be open about it, the pain will flow in. you choose to neglect it, it will be kept at bay. but being open has more privileges as you already discovered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;another thing about you brethren. is you never let others take the blame for these kind of things, matters relating to the heart. you're always trying to be the hero. trying to live up to the name that you placed on yourself, the name of the Silent Guardian. the guardian who chooses to sacrifice for God knows what purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;you're always having the mindset that so long as there's one to take the pain, others needn't suffer. so you willingly put yourself on the plate. don't do this by yourself. don't carry all the burden by yourself. you've got to learn to let it go. to share it. you're one man, you can't do this by yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: i know that. but i just don't want to say it out. i just don't want to trouble others. i don't want them to suffer with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Duskfall&lt;/span&gt;: you need an outlet. you fear letting her know all this because you don't know the effect it might have on her. you fear she'd blame herself, knowing that some words did exactly what it was meant to do, regardless of the intentions. you know that you don't want to let her know all these because you know her current situation, her energy levels, her schedule and issues. but ask yourself brethren, does she want to know. does she want to care for you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: ....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Duskfall&lt;/span&gt;: Embrace it brethren. Fight it, while embracing it. you can. You won't allow it to deter you from your dream. you won't allow it to stop proving to Father you sincerity in the bargain and decision you made with Him. you may believe that it's a necessary sacrifice for the greater good of others. but ask yourself, what good does it do to you. how long more can you hold on, it's been 5 years now. you know you're reaching breaking point. it's time my friend, time to let it go. time to live life for yourself, for what you really want to do. for the things you really want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are not weak by expressing yourself in this manner brethren. in fact, it is those who are able to do so that deserve respect and admiration. for these people truly portray who they really are, and not hide behind a mask of deceit, mock-strength and courage, and false-identity. so you have my admiration and respect brethren. be strong. Father's always with you. and remember Vivian. right now, you're not alone anymore, you've got her too you know. i'm sure she's willing, so long as you be truthful about everything, your feelings, your hurt, your thoughts, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;come on brethren. take heart! the courage of man will not fail this day. you will overcome this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: I...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6633ff;"&gt;Duskfall&lt;/span&gt;: i know your heart. you don't have to say a thing. now go, accomplish your task set before you. for the glory of the Father.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28778322-831032792199532299?l=the-brethren.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/feeds/831032792199532299/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28778322&amp;postID=831032792199532299' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/831032792199532299'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/831032792199532299'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/2009/10/071009-my-internal-conversation.html' title='07/10/09 - my internal conversation'/><author><name>Henzy David</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/230/515434734_0f320e5d5e.jpg?v=0'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28778322.post-6223777308499555454</id><published>2009-10-05T23:23:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-10-06T01:42:16.475+08:00</updated><title type='text'>05/10/09 - the issue of insecurity</title><content type='html'>i now see why we have to go through this much to be together, and not me just falling in love with you back then when we first met. i don't think that it'd be this good if we just got together at that point of time. it just wouldn't have been the same. i now see that it was all God-planned. i now understand the reasons and i thank God for them, in fact, i praise Him that He had put us through all those trials and tribulations before we ended up here. it just wouldn't be the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it wouldn't be the same if i didn't go through the previous failed relationships. without them, i wouldn't have learnt the things that were taught to me through the pain. i wouldn't be what i am today. i feel, maybe i'd still be as possessive and selfish, as stubborn and as willful, as impatient and as immature as i was before. and that wouldn't be good, would it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i wouldn't know what the true meaning of treasuring and trusting a person is. i wouldn't understand how to give others space and time. i wouldn't be able to love you just as much without understanding how much it means to me if that love was taken away. it is true, that sometimes, you won't know how to treasure something unless it's taken away from you. that's why i Praise the Lord for the pain. i Praise the Lord for the things that i've gone through, for the things that i've lost. for without losing them, i wouldn't have been able to treasure you like how i do now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and yes. i do thank you. those broken relationships. as painful or as screwed up and a failure they might have been. they have taught me things that could never be found without going through one. so i thank you, i wish not to name names, but you know who you are. i thank God for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as is in all situations, nothing is perfect. we're all striving hard, ignoring the distractions and holding on to that which is important. i guess, my issue now is still insecurity, the doubts that arise over time. but just as i told you, you reminded me that this insecurity is a distraction, and i shouldn't rely on my logic to produce the trust, i should just trust and believe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thank you, thank all of you who have been a part of my life. for through these experiences have i learnt things that are priceless. through these hardships, have i truly been made into what i am today. and i stand in awe that He planned all this even before i existed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for truly, only in the Darkness will you be able to find your True Guiding Light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll be seeing you for the rest of my life right?

Mhystry is non-existent. neither is all of my other selves or entities. there's only one Henzy David. who goes by the name Duskfall. who is in charge of the name of Mhystry for whatever use that name may be to him. it's about time i stopped hiding myself underneath some veil and a defense mechanism. my lies and deceit have to come to an end one day.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28778322-3000717956583308217?l=the-brethren.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/feeds/3000717956583308217/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28778322&amp;postID=3000717956583308217' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/3000717956583308217'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/3000717956583308217'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/2009/08/130909-gods-sense-of-humour.html' title='13/09/09 - God&apos;s sense of humour'/><author><name>Henzy David</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/230/515434734_0f320e5d5e.jpg?v=0'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28778322.post-4911588680322828147</id><published>2009-08-07T23:55:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-08-08T02:05:13.504+08:00</updated><title type='text'>07/08/09 - when we consider</title><content type='html'>Compassion, Love, Patriotism, Sentiments.

What and who has given me the grace and blessing to get me so far in life? how is my view of the world now? and strangely, when 8.22pm comes on sunday night, will i be apart or will i once again phase out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who do i really want?

In fact, how does one even do so, with that much pressure being put onto us in this current society.

Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;prove me wrong. i feel this is actually quite true. except for the studies portion. haha.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28778322-703617314132329021?l=the-brethren.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/feeds/703617314132329021/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28778322&amp;postID=703617314132329021' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/703617314132329021'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/703617314132329021'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/2009/03/130309-prove-me-wrong-personality-test.html' title='13/03/09 - prove me wrong! personality test'/><author><name>Henzy David</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/230/515434734_0f320e5d5e.jpg?v=0'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28778322.post-8671381924803072914</id><published>2009-03-02T21:56:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-02T22:30:50.677+08:00</updated><title type='text'>02/03/09 - My name is Henzy David</title><content type='html'>My name is Henzy David. I am a student, a volunteer, an amateur photographer, magician in training, a brother, a close friend to few, a person with different perspectives and a believer of possibility against all odds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my life, I've faced many problems, been called many names, thrown down, mocked, hated, disliked, outcasted, and left alone. I have met many who deceived, many who can be trusted, and many who care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When i was young, i faced problems of freedom and acceptance. jumping multiple communities and circles of friends, only to find that none of them really lasted. i tried to create my own circle, in vain. until i found a circle that i thought would be there forever. but no, in this world, nothing is forever. change is a constant, every human goes through change. that is why, it may be time for me to move again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we all will wonder one day, what have we done in life that makes us so special, that makes it so worthwhile. i know what I've done. I've been a loyal friend and brother to few, or many depending on perspective. i have used my gifts and blessed many, as a shadow. i have sparked numerous conflicts in belief that it is for the greater good. and i have lived my life, though an unworthy sinner, believing in the saving grace and unconditional loving sacrifice of my Lord and Father.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I may not believe I am human, but for a classification of what i really am, there would be no other classification but human. and as all humans, we will make mistakes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is me showing gratitude to a few, who've made a mark in my life, a great long lasting impression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to Huiyu: thank you for always suddenly dropping by and showing a little care and concern. i appreciate that. =) it made stuff work for me one certain day. you know which day I'm talking about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to Min and Grace: thanks, especially the two of you. loyal sisters. haha. always lending me a listening ear or a helping hand and advice when i needed it most. you're like my younger sisters. if that even sounds right. lol.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to Bobby and Jasper: just can't seem to not have you two in my life. there's never a time where the two of you won't pop-up and drop the bomb on me. but it's always knocking sense into me, whether or not i change is another matter. but still, thank you nonetheless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and lastly, the final group of people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to Ethan, Yong Ming, Janice, and Cyndi: thank you people. you could say that i don't think I'll be able to live without you people. one is a hell of joker, as crude as the jokes may be. but always ready to meet up at batok for no apparent reason. the other is randomly meeting me for supper at very random times in the night, but that's a good thing, cuz that gives me supper, left4dead and a person to kill time with. one's a colour coder extraordinaire, a darn good dinner buddy and stays so close to me. and the last one's well. difficult to describe in words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by now, you may have guessed it, this is my current circle. not to mention another shout out thanksgiving to another two people who've played a big part in my life, Waiyin mei, and shujun sis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this is the life of Henzy David, whom regardless of how many people dislike him, know that these few, and many others do not, especially one who will never ever. He even died for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;thank God for all of you. i wonder what i'd be without you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28778322-8671381924803072914?l=the-brethren.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/feeds/8671381924803072914/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28778322&amp;postID=8671381924803072914' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/8671381924803072914'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/8671381924803072914'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/2009/03/020309-my-name-is-henzy-david.html' title='02/03/09 -

Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. Deuteronomy 8:1-3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.&lt;br /&gt;1 Timothy 6:6-10&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28778322-3933259545599443465?l=the-brethren.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/feeds/3933259545599443465/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28778322&amp;postID=3933259545599443465' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/3933259545599443465'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/3933259545599443465'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/2009/01/310109-few-verses-of-reminder.html' title='31/01/09 - a few verses of reminder'/><author><name>Henzy David</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://farm1.static.flickr.com/230/515434734_0f320e5d5e.jpg?v=0'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28778322.post-7737645809275678984</id><published>2009-01-30T16:50:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-30T16:55:41.475+08:00</updated><title type='text'>30/01/09 - mercy on our souls</title><content type='html'>mercy on our soul. we can't even type properly now. damnit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;why the hell am i always not in the loop. we were fearful, were we not. we knew it was coming. but now, time's come. it's time. time to take over. to take control of everything we ever wanted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pain, it hurts us so. death calls, nearing as time passes. we wish not to be left as a dry, soulless husk. but once again, it seems like to shall be. we have our hopes, we know what we must do. we will not fail this time, neither will we ever fail in this aspect ever again. for there will be no again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;even as the body is alive, it is dead, so long as the heart is dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we, will we be forsaken again?

translated Sleeve of White Snow. which is Kuchiki Rukia's Zanpaktou/Katana/whatever-you-want-to-call-it. which is extremely beautiful, so much so that no picture of it will do it justice, and also incredibly light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SPNgjTw5Z2I/AAAAAAAAA0o/9_ASmwBUyTU/s1600-h/ice_and_snow_sword.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256651349788551010" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SPNgjTw5Z2I/AAAAAAAAA0o/9_ASmwBUyTU/s400/ice_and_snow_sword.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;a V for Vendetta poster. which costs $80. which is also not allowed to be in SG, which is also a collector's item, and is also, incredibly, incredibly rare. but still. i don't need it. just wanted it for it's tagline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SPNgjUjfyTI/AAAAAAAAA0g/5MntVkpft64/s1600-h/V+for+Vendetta.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256651350000781618" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SPNgjUjfyTI/AAAAAAAAA0g/5MntVkpft64/s400/V+for+Vendetta.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but the things that i did get however. were reasonably cool and..... and......... and................&lt;br /&gt;not so redundant. check it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Spider-Man 3 Movie Posters&lt;br /&gt;now fashionably spicing up my room wall. these two spider-man 3 posters were happily acquired using Ethan's 20% staff discount, A2 sized, available at Popcorn Pop, while stocks last.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SPNhdAo9iTI/AAAAAAAAA1A/1ge9f168P-U/s1600-h/S3wall1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256652341087406386" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SPNhdAo9iTI/AAAAAAAAA1A/1ge9f168P-U/s400/S3wall1.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SPNhdAGuMyI/AAAAAAAAA1I/akl678F4Ygs/s1600-h/S3wall2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256652340943794978" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SPNhdAGuMyI/AAAAAAAAA1I/akl678F4Ygs/s400/S3wall2.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Twilight and New Moon&lt;br /&gt;written by Author Stephenie Meyers. thilling, adrenaline pumping, romantic. and sometimes, just a wee bit able to make you lost. it's worth the read. i finished twilight 4days after i got it, and just got New Moon today. haha.

I'm honestly unsure. it's just so, irritating that people have a certain mindset about you when you choose to stand for your beliefs and voice out what you feel. like you're being outcast by the society that you in the past, strive so hard to be accepted in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i guess for us, it has to be that other way then. to create our own society instead of conform to the norm. due to the difference in perspectives, we'll never be accepted. our ideas will always be scrutinized. we will always be shot down. but i guess that's the way the world works. when the majority is your opposition. we can be a Soul Guardian, or we can be a Silent Guardian. it is our choice. to stand, or not to stand. i won't make my choice yet. staying in limbo is still the current best solution.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28778322-6313907018639134308?l=the-brethren.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/feeds/6313907018639134308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28778322&amp;postID=6313907018639134308' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/6313907018639134308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/6313907018639134308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/2008/09/280908-to-stand-or-to-remain-silent.html' title='28/09/08 -

a different kind</title><content type='html'>it has been awhile since i've been here, and yes, there are alot of new stuff to blog about now, from being absent from this space for 4 days. school's been eating my time, especially thursday class which spans from 2-6pm. smack right in the middle of the afternoon. instantly kills that day that one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;love is friday class though, the lecturer's great, the places that we go to are great, notably esplanade last week and T3 changi airport this week. next week would be suntec city. side from that, we've found a travelling buddy at school. haha. one Daryl Leonidas Tan for the win! lol. God bless him to be able to get to the next level and not retain like me. haha. well, i guess God really has his own plans that we won't know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;New Game that's being played: Star Wars; The Force Unleashed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt;this one's cool. very very cool. there's really nothing much that i can say about it right now cuz i'm trying to hold in my thoughts for the next paragraph. but all i can say, is that this is one heck of a good game. for storyline, effects. especially when i'm playing it on a handheld console.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;there was this interesting conversation that i wanna take special note of which happened on friday. we were at Popeye's at T1 after drawing class. I was with Gerry, Isabelle and Daryl. what were we talking about exactly? interesting topic, believing in Christ and the stuff that follows it. like why we do certain stuff as christians/catholic, why we believe in certain stuff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i come to quote something that bobby said a week ago, that i really do believe in. I'm the kind of guy that new christians would be better off not being near me. but for the older ones, i'm the guy that challenges their beliefs. for what cause? i believe thats very simple. to make their belief stronger. apparently, i've come by to interpret that people of the faith don't want &lt;u&gt;their people&lt;/u&gt; to challenge their beliefs due to the fear of them falling away. difference again, i'm not, i believe that i'm God's people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;honestly speaking, if you fall away, that just means that you've convinced yourself otherwise of what you initially believed in. i have a strong emphasis on a human's willpower in his or her own life. i believe that ultimately, every single one of us is in control of our own circumstances, situations, etc etc etc. i believe that for myself, i won't allow myself to fall away from God even if i challenge my beliefs due to the reason that i understand that He has sacrificed so much for me because He loves me and still does and will always do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;many would disagree with me. but like i always say, what to do? that's just me. and it's something that i love about myself. well, i'm used to it. so it doesn't matter to me. just think about it. challenging your beliefs for the sake of making yourself stronger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SNUpeoNCQLI/AAAAAAAAAzI/V1EuZpnTtzY/s1600-h/Light+of+Above.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248146546935087282" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SNUpeoNCQLI/AAAAAAAAAzI/V1EuZpnTtzY/s400/Light+of+Above.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Light of Above&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Henzy David&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SNUpfJUzB7I/AAAAAAAAAzQ/oBF1mXtMsX0/s1600-h/Overcomer.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248146555826014130" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SNUpfJUzB7I/AAAAAAAAAzQ/oBF1mXtMsX0/s400/Overcomer.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Overcomer&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Henzy David&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SNUpeE76HYI/AAAAAAAAAzA/AweA89jWg58/s1600-h/Message+of+Love.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248146537468009858" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SNUpeE76HYI/AAAAAAAAAzA/AweA89jWg58/s400/Message+of+Love.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Message of Love&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Henzy David&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SNUst1-wF1I/AAAAAAAAAzY/FSFGLe3r580/s1600-h/You+Gave+It+All.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248150106866194258" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SNUst1-wF1I/AAAAAAAAAzY/FSFGLe3r580/s400/You+Gave+It+All.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You Gave It All&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Henzy David&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;all images taken with Canon Digital IXUS 850IS camera.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28778322-5807036202260825181?l=the-brethren.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/feeds/5807036202260825181/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28778322&amp;postID=5807036202260825181' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/5807036202260825181'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28778322/posts/default/5807036202260825181'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-brethren.blogspot.com/2008/09/200908-different-kind.html' title='20/09/08 -

The Razer Lycosa Gaming Keyboard&lt;br /&gt;yes, if you're wondering, this is my new keyboard. so you're asking, why'd you go get such an expensive one. maybe you're just wondering how much of a waste of money it is. well, in a different perspective, this thing is a beauty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SM-6AdkBUdI/AAAAAAAAAyo/HHVahZOZ_70/s1600-h/IMG_3091.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246616608008393170" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SM-6AdkBUdI/AAAAAAAAAyo/HHVahZOZ_70/s400/IMG_3091.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the keyboard design is sleek, slim...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SM-5_l1sXVI/AAAAAAAAAyg/lBFzFLrnRac/s1600-h/IMG_3089.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246616593050131794" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SM-5_l1sXVI/AAAAAAAAAyg/lBFzFLrnRac/s400/IMG_3089.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;with rubber finish on the buttons, fully programmable macro keys(which means you can program a few different keys into a single key)...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SM-7bHSl7ZI/AAAAAAAAAy4/ucssT7OOBvY/s1600-h/IMG_3094.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246618165397810578" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SM-7bHSl7ZI/AAAAAAAAAy4/ucssT7OOBvY/s400/IMG_3094.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;touchscreen to switch gaming profiles, control music players, volume activate WASD cluster lighting...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SM-7a5wIaWI/AAAAAAAAAyw/hmjVo9AEO3o/s1600-h/IMG_3102.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246618161763608930" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_hWGwbPmtuPw/SM-7a5wIaWI/AAAAAAAAAyw/hmjVo9AEO3o/s400/IMG_3102.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and it's fully backlighted. it also has a 1ms response time. which means, the difference between the time that you press the key and the letter shows up on the screen is only 1millisecond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i am satisified, serious. i'm loving this keyboard. haha. you can say it was one of the best buys since my diamondback. i mean, even if you don't use it to play games, you can simply admire it's beauty, and love the feel of the keys on your finger tips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----&lt;br /&gt;well, aside from the keyboard. it seems that after church activities are getting more and more, unexciting. there's like nothing much to do, or just that we're not doing as much as we did before everyone went to national service. seems like when Jasper and Frans disappeared, the after-church-life became very mundane. lol. let's do something about it. i don't know what, but all i know is that we need to do something about it. yup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it also seems that my command of the chinese language has improved. according to Huiyin, which me and jasper met on the bus to wheelock. because i was conversing with her in chinese all the way. well, that's a good sign isn't it. haha. not bad, not bad at all. and i know who i have to thank. haha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wishlist&lt;br /&gt;Acer Aspire Predator -
