The last brew brings with it much nostalgia... The tinge of bitter-sweet still lingering between the lips and the fragrance still fill the air... And you still remember the taste. Good things must come to an end and so must this, but with each end comes the spark of hope of something new...
It’s strange that my heart hurts no more
For a sudden moment on this day
But I fear that my heart has forgotten what it’s for
So I stir up wounds and see what they’d say
Do I want time to wash it all away
No more memories no more pain
But the journey we take is what makes us today
So I’ll bravely face both times of sunshine and the rain

Lazy Brews 3
The aftertaste of bad coffee stays for a while... But just for a while... Sometimes they are remembered to taste worse than they actually did, it's time for another brew...
I’m sitting here trying to get over you
But you’re sitting there trying to get over her
It stings that I never meant a thing
It pricks that to you we never were anything
Once I was a substitute in your pain
And now I am but a reminder of your shame
You have and will never know me for who I am
Made me shallow, undignified and estranged
I’m sitting here trying to get over you
But you’re sitting there trying to get over her
It stings that I never meant a thing
It pricks that to you we never were anything
Once I was a substitute in your pain
And now I am but a reminder of your shame
You have and will never know me for who I am
Made me shallow, undignified and estranged

Lazy Brews 2
When coffee brew, the aroma just gets stronger each time it's placed over the fire... And when words brew, the wheel just spins faster each time it gets started... Thence my second brew in such a short while...
I chose to believe in the lie he fabricated
The lie that he forced himself to believe in
Though at that time that was the truth he knew
A lie is after all a lie that will be un-earthen
And that is when I pay my penalty
For hoping in the beautiful lie we created.

Just a little poetry from time to time, when my imagination runs wild.. i picture myself in motion drama, and relate the story from inside... Think no further than the prose and enjoy the brews as they go...
I told him that his uncertainty of the future is all right
I will run back beside him and start again
I told him I would love him knowing he does not love me the same
I will still give every part of my heart
I told him for him I’d be the loser and the clown
And even when the road ahead looks like a dead end
I will fight for a chance to lose again
first brew: 25 April 2006, 2:46pm

Can God die?
This is a question that came up during one of the bible studies I attended recently. I am no philosopher nor theologian so expect not a profound answer. But a simple two cents worth (promise to keep it short!):
The omnipotent God can of course do all things, but His omnipotence is exercised in accordance to His nature and will. He will not do things that contravene His nature nor act apart from His will. “Do not test me,” He says. So in that sense, God can die if and when He wants to, but death has no bound over Him. Because God is the Giver of Life, He is Life. God can die, but unlike man, His death is not absolute. And God will and did die, because He planned to.
And yes, I am referring to the cross. Where Jesus who is God in human flesh, gave up his life for the Father’s salvation plan for sinners. And after He died, He rose again and death has forever lost its sting.
God can die, and He did die. For you.

Pride from the other side?
I like things that may sound lofty and big but in essence has a very human & down to earth edge to it, because the things that usually provoke most thoughts are that which are close to the heart. And they sound lofty because people don dare to touch it too much. It is too intimate, so much so that it hurts- and so when someone does, it sounds profound.
Like humanitarian movements, it’s just as simple as hey that’s another life standing on the same earth, does it not deserve the same dignity another has? All created by God, is one life more dear than another? What right does another human being have to put down another? Everyone knows it deep in them, but only the humanitarian activists dare stand up to speak. Their efforts are praise-worthy. I will stand by them, acknowledge their ideas but no tall hats from me :p
Like discussing philosophies, it’s cool to be throwing up schools of thoughts and going into lengthy discussions. It's just as simple as letting others know what you think and feel, be it from a complex mind or a simple heart, both are genuine. Are there grounds to feel scholarly, just because what you say sounds more lofty than the layman?
And perhaps it is that part of me that turns away from the appreciation of the finer & higher things in life- wine, golf, extravagance.. not that I’m not guilty of liking and pursuing them at times.. but I want or try to enjoy it for what it stands for, and turn my nose away from the social image it portrays.
There is nothing wrong to be liking those stuff, but I wonder when people feel high and mighty and a class above the rest when that they think that their hobby represents the depth they have inside. But of course the society at large is to blame for looking up to these things. I’m not saying people cant have a genuine passion for these things- just that when they do, hoping that pride doesn’t come as a by-product and become a social stand-offish.
Like golf- it’s a sport, and an excellent activity for networking amongst the businessman- but is there any cause to feel rich playing golf? I applaud the sportsmanship, the value of the sport, think it’s great but will deliberately not associate with it. Wont say I will not enjoy it when I start playing it, but I guess when I do, I might be mindful about not sounding exclusive about it.
Pride from the other side? That's what i used to think. Or rather that's where i may have started. But the Christian begs to hope that i am standing on different ground now.

Alpha
i have successfully succumbed to the trends of time... The prude who once sworn off MSN & Blogging has joined the crowds... Sad sad sad... But i guess there is no point in staying off them for the sake of staying off them or the strive to be different, so i shall lay down my pride and embrace what these things offer. The ability to communicate real time with others & build relationships for the former, and to share & plant my thoughts, & invoke you to share yours with me. thence beginning this blogger's journey... alpha's done.
