Let Me Forget About It!

I have a lot of unforgettable fear. When I was young, I used to be "bullied" by CHICKENS! Especially roosters. When some roosters saw me, they would run towards me and fly over me to peck me. *I hate them!* This is what caused me to be SO afraid of two- legged animals.

There was another thing that I won't be able to forget for the rest of my life. It's about CHICKEN again. I remember there was once, my mum tried to kill a chicken. Her skill was bad. After she chopped that chicken's neck, the chicken was still alive. At that time, my mum did not tied its legs up. Thus, it was fleeing with its blood shed all over the kitchen. I was SO terrified.

Lately, my mum killed a few chickens for Chinese New Year. On morning, when I was still sleeping, I heard the "yell" of the chicken and I could hear the sound of the flapping wings. I ignored as I did not know that my mum was killing the chicken. Last Saturday, I had class in the morning, so I had to wake up early. I heard those noise again. After a while the noise was gone so I thought it was the right time for me to go out. When I saw my mum, she was sitting there pulling off the chicken's feathers. I screamed! From that day onwards I dare not walk pass the place where the chickens were killed.

I kept trying to overcome my fear, I kept praying. However, I failed! I was too terrified. My mind kept repeating the sounds of the chickens and it kept on visualizing what I saw that day. Grrrr...!!! A few days later, I felt better. Who knows I saw the feathers that my mum kept. She intended to make something, I don't what is it called, but it's something that people played in the old days. A traditional game. The feather freaked me out. :( My days really passed like hell.

Today, I feel much much better! At least when I walk pass the place where the chickens were killed I no longer have fear. I hope the days to come will be the same. My fear is so real. I can understand the man who vomited even though he had recovered. I guess my memory is too good to remember what I should not. :(



心愛


I'm so touched by this story. Again and again. Aren't we the same? Some people helped us out of love, unfortunately we some times view the sacrificial love that people show to us the other way round.

I was being blamed by a mother of my student. She blamed me for suggesting her to put her son into the mainstream this year. She was too anxious until she stressed herself so much and she stressed us out too. She could call us few times a day. I tried my best to help but at the end I was blamed. When somebody told me how she complained about me at my back, I wasn't really angry. I just felt that she is sick. Well, though I was not angry, I start to watch my words and suggestions.

I feel that we can be blinded by our ego and anxiety some times. When we are in denial stage, we tend to push the blame to others so that we can feel better. If we keep doing this, we will lose a lot of precious friends and loved ones. That feeling will be worst than when we are "invalid". Love those who love you and do not reject love that is shown. Show love to others and never expect return. We will be happier if we can do so.

The Special Two Whom Most Will Miss




These are the two, one had already left us to Australia and another one will be leaving real soon to the same place too. These are the two sisters whom most of us will miss. Some people may think that my statement has some favoritism elements, however, it does not.

I believe in my statement because they are the ones I will miss too. No matter where most of us from the church went, no matter what kinda activities we joined, they were always there. They were hyper, not only at church but at school too. See, my statement makes sense because they were there (anywhere) all the time. Thus, all of us will definitely miss them much! When I thought of our every Sunday BUG game, I thought of them and I knew that this time round, they won't be there. T.T

It's indeed not easy to let these two sisters go.

No matter where they are, they will always be there some where in our hearts. Yeah, there's always a place for them in our hearts. My dear sisters, take good care of yourself and I believe God will be there to help you through all the storms to come and you will be filled with love, joy and peace again and again.

Are You Sick?

I am so glad to meet a friend that I knew from Indonesia last year. I am really joyous though I did not have much contact nor conversation with him during the Indonesia ministry trip last year. I'm so glad maybe it's because I couldn't believe that God will let us meet once again and to worship together once again.

Today he was invited to share on his experiences in different countries with us during our night worship. He was sharing about healing and how God healed him when he did not realized that he was "sick" spiritually. It was indeed a good sharing and I was reminded once again that our God is a great Provider.

He was very animated when he was sharing. I was staring at him imagining him in such situation. But something that he shared from the bible really caught my attention. He shared on John 5: 1- 9 as shown below.

John 5: 1- 9
The Healing at the Pool
1Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for a feast of the Jews. 2Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesdaa]" style="line-height: 0.5em; ">[a] and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed.b]" style="line-height: 0.5em; ">[b] 5One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?" 7"Sir," the invalid replied, "I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me." 8Then Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk." 9At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,

I highlighted three points which caught my attention. The passage mentioned that that was a place where many disabled people laid. This man was lying there for 38 years but he did not get a chance to get into the pool to be healed. When Jesus asked him whether he wanted to get well (that's a stupid question, yeah), he said that nobody helped him into the pool when the water was stirred. I sat there thinking, most of the people there were sick, they were all unwell and awaiting to be lifted , to be healed. Then a question occurred in my mind,"Why can't the others just give him a hand since they were going through the same problem and they desired for the same thing- healing?"

I was impressed by this thought that "a sick will not be able to lead another who is sick". Thus, that man was there for 38 years until someone perfect came to him to lead him to the pool. Last year end, my soul was sick. Though I had my holidays, I still felt very tired and moody. Maybe it was because of the busy period and tiredness with work, church and studies. When it was near January this year, especially when I started working again with the children and parents, a thought came to me telling me that I must lift my spirit if not I will not be able to help the kids and the parents. I told myself that I did not have time to be moody. From that day onwards, I was lifted and am enjoying my work now.

I do believe that the man who laid there for 38 years was because of this reason- the blind will not be able to lead the deaf. For those who are keen to help people, to reach out to people and to be a comfort to people, I am sure that we should keep our soul and spirit healthy so that we will be able to help, comfort and guide the lost effectively. Let's encourage, pray and motivate one another so that our soul and spirit will be well and ready for the purpose that God has planned for us.

Something Heavenly :D

Thursday wasn't a good day. I bet I was warned by God through my dream but I did not know what is it all about until everything fell into place. I always have this problem about my dream. Hmm... Maybe it's a gift or maybe it is not. Many people would say that I think too much and not many, or I would say there are only one or two who believe that what I dream will turn out, and it's always something not good, but will be made good.

I dreamed of one of my students. He is not able to speak due to his hearing impairment. I do not think that he will even speak unless there is a miracle. However, in my dream he was able to speak. I was so happy in my dream and I even asked the parents to continue to motivate him and I rejoiced with them.

This dream was not any dream that will wake me up suddenly as it's not scary thus I was not quite disturbed by it. I nearly forgotten what I had dreamed about until when I was doing my devotion that morning, my mind reminded me of that dream. I was a bit confused as I did not know if it was real or it was just a dream. After pondering for a while then I told myself for sure, it's a dream. I carried on with my reading.

That child came with the father during the session later in the morning. Nothing happened. However, what my colleague told the father disturbed me as she was giving wrong informations. On top of that she did not know the purposes of what we have been doing. I was still cool until she asked us for one of the teaching aids which has been there on the shelves for 7 years. Then I started shooting her. I wasn't angry, I just wanted to tease her but somehow her excuse for not knowing that it was there and have never ever used it (which she had used it before), frustrated me. My teases became scolding.

My tone of voice was bad. I felt bad after that too. For the rest of the day, we did not talk because she seemed angry with me. So I have decided to apologize for my tone of voice but not what I have said. I kept telling myself that even if I am the head of the place, I need to humble myself and admit what I have done wrong. I don't want to run away from it and I do not want to tarnish God's name! So I was struggling. Struggled because I was so afraid that the situation will become even worse. I was feeling so uneasy. However, I have peace. I text another colleague telling her what I had planned to do and asked her to be there earlier so that she will be there to control the situation or give input for our conversation. Of course, I asked her to pray for us.

*Phew* Finally, it was Friday. I apologized before our open prayer and explained to her why I got frustrated and taught her how to answer questions to avoid confusion in the parents. The whole thing went well and I really thank God for that. Thanks for those who prayed for me/us! Thank you so much! A video to share with you. One part of the lyrics say," Whatever You (God) doing inside of me, it feels like chaos somehow there's peace and it's hard to surrender what I can't see but I'm giving into something heavenly!"

Act Now!

As I was studying today, I found a quote from my textbook. It goes like this:

"All great languages undergo change. Those languages which resist the spirit of change are doomed and will never produce great harvest of thought and literature." -Rabindranath Tagore

This quote clearly defines the need of a language to change according to time, in order to survive. I am so attracted to this quote because I think living a life holds the same principle. If we refuse to change we will not be able to get more in life. If we are not planning to change the way we live our lives, the way we look at things and the way we carry o
urselves, we will sit in a well forever, looking up to the sky every time, wishing and hoping that one day that one day we can jump out from there. By wishing and hoping will not make any changes without practical action.

When we talk about change, we need to act because the word "change" itself is a verb, an action word. Without action, we will not be able to get out from the pit where we used to be. It is a total impossible. Some people will not be able to survive in certain places because they refuse to change. Some people keep living in the past and refused to change and choose not to believe that their life will be different with the right and bold step forward.


If we keep on staying in the past and keep wishing to be somebody without any practical action, sooner or later, we will be cut off like the unfruitful branch of a tree. Thus, do you wanna improve to be fruitful or to be cut off or dropped off from where you are. The patience from human is limited. When everyone else is improving but you are still stagnant and refuse to do what you should, no one can help but yourself. People have their own set of problems thus it'll be tedious if their encouragement and patience keep being rejected. Get up and WALK!

Stirve Like A Cockroach

As I was staring at the pail of laundry just now in the bathroom. A picture came to my mind. What picture? Ha... A picture of a cockroach striving to stay alive when it accidentally falls into the water. It's very funny to have such picture popped up to my mind out of no where.

Thus, I concluded that every living thing will try to strive to live especially when they are facing problems in life. However, many times, many of us will tend to give up especially after trying so hard but the result is still the same/ still disappointing. It is just like the cockroaches, every one of them will strive to save their own life when they drop into the water. However, not everyone of them will be able to get out from the water. Some even die there. But at least they have tried their best until the very end of their lives.

If a cockroach can strive until the very end of it's life, why can't we? We are to live our life to the fullest, if not we will regret later. The result is not really important, but the effort and the process are the gist of our lives which will make us stronger and mature; we gain wisdom from the experiences too. Besides, we will be able to use all the experiences to comfort others and to advice others. Try your best and let God do the rest! Gambateh!


* I believe there is a reason for this post. *

Don't Give UP

The Parable of the Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1- 8)
1Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men.3And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'

4"For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, 5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' "

6And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

Because of her persistence, she was finally granted justice by an evil judge. This story about persistence will remind us to pray continually with expectant faith.

When we persevere to the end, our character improved along the way. God has assigned to us certain purposes in life for which he expects loyalty and commitment. The attitude that grows through perseverance is, there's no turning back from what God asks!


Romans 5: 3- 4

Not only so, but we rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, character; and character; hope.

平靜風浪後現代版 (Calming the Storm)

These were the group of Hongkies who came to our church during Christmas to have fellowship with us and they had some football trainings and tournament in Ipoh too. This is one skit that they performed during the prize giving night. They have 12 in their team.

Watch closely! Some one fell down when he came out from the back stage. LOL! I only got to know him when we brought them out for lunch one day. During that time, he was complaining about his ankle. He gave me an impression that he is so 'niang' as in very sissy. I was thinking in my heart,"Hey, come on! You are a footballer eh! Little pain also cannot bear?" :P I also remembered that somebody said that he did not rest properly that's why the pain is still there. Another thing that I remembered was he took a few pictures with all the girls who were in that room that night.

Though I don't really know him, I feel that he has the gift of cheering up people around him. This is a gift that I wish to have. I hope that people around me will be happy. But, I don't have such gifting from God. I really hope that he will use it wisely, use it to comfort the heartbrokens.

FILL MY HEART WITH JOY AGAIN LORD I PRAY

God says,"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. BUT TAKE HEART! I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD!"

I am really not in good shape. I cannot find myself. I cannot see the beauty that God had created in me. I do not have the patient that I used to have, I cannot tolerate and I just shut off when I am there. Sigh... I dislike going there. I really dislike it. Father God!!! Can you show me your way? I know You have gone through it. I know it's between me and myself. Help me out of the situation. Help me! I have no strength to hold on to Your verse above anymore. Give me rest! Give me peace! Give me a way! I don't wanna let my heart grow cold, I really don't want! I want the joy of serving you again. I want joy! Change the way I think, wash my brain O God! I don't wanna be a clown. Give me rest tonight and comfort me Lord! I will stand up again with Your help! I know You are always there just like the song had said, whatever troubles that I am going through now are nothing compared to Yours. But I am really tired. Lift me Lord! Get me ready to face the challenges once more. Soon, it'll be another year end, and I will be safe and sound again.

No Time is A Proven Excuse


Few weeks ago, I had a chat with a friend. Our conversation alerted me. I blurted a lot of things that I unexpected myself to. Hmm... I was alerted that we cannot serve God when we are free. We won't be free until the end of the world. All of us are busy with our work, our studies, our family, our friends and activities. We won't be free forever!

Well, I kinda know what I meant but after Fei Wong a.k.a Alan Wong's sharing on Saturday, I understood it fully. We will never be free to serve God because, 1. We won't have time if we don't spare the time for His work; 2. We will be stretched when we serve even when we seem to have no time.

No time- is a proven excuse. I'm guilty of it. And his sharing really pointed out my selfishness and laziness. HE slapped hard on my face.

The Surprises In Times of Trouble

I can't help but to be touched by this song. Indeed, I had gotten a lot of surprises in times of trouble. Hope that this song will touch you too.

Human = Ostrich


I bet everyone will have a shell of their own. Our shells is always the comfort zone. We tend to be what our past has shaped us. Some people may not have very tragic past but some people encountered a lot of hurts in the past. Because of the past hurts and experienced, some of us learn to break every shell that they created during their storms but some choose to stay in their shell and never come out again.

As for myself, I am not those who would break the shell that I have created. I'm kinda passive. How did I feel when I was staying in my shell? I can testify that it was not any happier. When I learned to break my shell, there were more pain than staying in the shell. But the after effect was I have joy and my life and attitude changed. If you ask me if I wanna go back to the shell that I used to have again, I would say NO. Well, some times when the situation is so terrible that I'm tempted to give up breaking the shell but to stay in there. It is definitely not an easy task to break the shell and step out from our comfort zone.

Some people keep looking back at their past and hoping that others will understand their past thus understand why they are behaving like now. However, our world is a cruel world. Who cares about your past? Well, I guess in the beginning people will try their best to understand and to give in, but we need to grow. If we are not growing, many people will start to feel fed- up and tend to give up being patient and being understanding. All of us need to move forward. People have no time and energy to stay with us in our past.


I also think that we humans are like ostrich. No matter how high or how low our social status is, no matter how well educated and how out- going we are, there are some parts of our life that we do not want to reveal to others. Ostriches bury their heads into the ground when they are afraid. Some of us do too. On the other hand, some of us, run away, change topic or avoid certain people when the topic of conversation goes across their boundary thinking that we can continue to hide what we want to hide. We are like OSTRICH!!! *I giggle when I am typing this* That means, humans are just as dumb. We forgot that when we hide some parts of us, we are revealing the other parts of us. We are created with intelligence and we have the ability to judge things in an acceptable way. No matter how we hide, some people will still be able to detect what we are trying to hide in their own special way. The thing is, whether they wanna tell us they know what we are hiding from or not.


Hmm... I am an ostrich too! What is the solution? I think continue breaking the shell that we form everyday will be it. I cannot think of any better way right now. By overcoming our passed hurts is the crucial thing to do. I think we need to be humble enough to show our weak parts to others. Maybe we should be proud of the weaknesses that we have especially when we have improved from it. No weakness, how to improve? So let's choose now what we wanna be!

Reflection

OMG!!! Tomorrow is the last of the year 2009!!! I am definitely not welcoming it because when the year starts means I have to start working and studying AGAIN!!! I have not had enough of break yet!

Hmm... Looking back, a lot had happened this year. I can proudly say that this year is a fruitful year. The most memorable and enriched event for me this year is the Ministry Trip to Indonesia. I like travelling a lot but I am most joyous if I can see things that a normal trip cannot see. I had never thought that I will stay with ex-lepers in my whole life and acted on stage in a hall full of talented and gifted people. This was the family that I stayed with. They were so hospitable. I wonder how are they now.


Hmm... Besides the Indonesia trip, I couldn't remember what happened in mid- year. Hmm... I think I'm really getting old. Aha! My mum accepted Christ this year. Hopefully next year will be my dad's turn. Then our whole family can attend Sunday service together. However, I felt that I'm stagnant at work. I really hope that I can get the exchange program to Australia to see what is happening on the other end of the world and hoping to learn much from the people there.
Ah! Now i remember what happened in mid- year. I started studying. It was kinda relaxed and I was so happy because of the compliments from the tutors but it became so taxing especially when I had some other things to do in church and work. I studied until I wanted to vomit. But at the same time I experienced grace. Guess what? I did not have much time to study for the examination, thus I can only spot questions. God is so good and gracious, all the questions were what I studied. My tears nearly rolled down from my eyes at the exam hall. I am also grateful to have my sister to accompany me to the exam hall as I was not very familiar with the road. On the way, she helped me revised too. Hehe...

I typed this since 10pm plus. Now is already 12:26 am. I think these are the things that occupied my year. I am really thankful that I have enough for this year. Though there were struggles and distress at work, relationships and other minor hiccups, see I'm still in one piece, safe and sound. :)

I am not quite welcoming the year to come. There will be tonnes of challenges ahead which I am quite afraid of. But I remember what one of my friends had said before. He said that we should not be afraid anymore when we had tasted so much of God's blessings and grace along the way. Thus, I am holding on to this and I'm reminded not to be like the Israelites. I am sure on and off I will be upset because of something and some people but the most important thing to me is the attitude at the end of the day. Hmm... I am hoping that I will continue to grow to be stronger but not "colder". Oh God, please do not let my heart grow cold.

Speak My Love Language

Jenn's post attracted me. This is maybe the 3rd time I take this quiz. The result is still the same. Yeah, I love spending time with people that I love, usually one on one.

If we understand each other's love language then there will be less problem. Spending time alone with people that I love is very important to me. Even if we are not talking, I still feel good. I'm not only talking about B. G. R. But also friendship. I believe true friends do not need many words but there is still quiet understanding between us. Even if we do not talk when we are together, we won't feel awkward. Have you experienced this?


I feel loved when...

Created to Solve Problem


This is a tree along the road to Wan Sian's ex- college- KIY (K. Ibrahim Yaakob). It attracted me because of it's bended trunk. According to my own analysis, it grew like that because the other trees on the higher ground are blocking it from getting sufficient sunlight. Thus, it has no choice but to bend itself to get what it needs to live.


As I was watching other trees around, I noticed that the way every tree grows are different. None of them are exactly the same. They are just like us, humans! Each and very one of them are special in terms of colours, sizes, shapes and the way they grow. If each tree represents each of us, then the way they grow shows our personalities. Look at the tree above, it's such a huge and tall one. It grows towards the sky as it does not have any other things blocking it from getting what it needs in life.

The tree which bended it's trunk to get what it needs to live alerted me that we are created to solve problems. We need to use different methods and approaches to solve a problem, even if it is the same old problem. I know that a tree life is not as complicated as our life but don't forget, God created us with intelligence and wisdom. Thus, we are to think out of the box instead of using the same method and approach to the same issue (or different issues). Our environment changes, people around us change, and the things around us also change. So we need to change too. If we don't change, we will have a lot struggles living in this complicated world.

Do you want to grow towards the sky no matter what or would you prefer to bend your trunk slightly to sustain your life? Are you rigid or flexible? Are you able to change but not losing your identity?

I'm grateful!

This whole week is a very happening week for me. The stay in UKM, Bangi really reminded me of the days I went through in CECE college and USM, Penang. Those were the days that I enjoyed most with my course mates. I'm missing those days and hope that I will have it once more. Study life is always good and simple.

I met a lot of my sister's friends. They are a good bunch and I enjoyed the fellowship we had. One of her friends asked for my opinions on the issue of relationships. She is studying the same course as her partner. They are having an underground relationship as the guy refused to date her openly. I forgot the reason that he put forth. She asked me whether when a guy falls for a girl will usually treats the girl very good. In my opinion, YES! Then she asked if the treatment will change if the guy and the gal start dating. In my opinion, I think there will be some changes but not the love that he has for her.

After that, she started telling me about her stories. This guy had been caring for her very much for almost a year. Thus, they started dating each other few months ago. However, things changed. The guy stopped caring for her and avoided her. When they meet in class, chatting with their course mates, that guy took her as a stranger. She couldn't understand why. Not only that, he kept comparing her with his ex- girl friend and kept saying that she is dumb. They have not been talking for few months until now. That girl gave up the relationship but did not tell him. Lately, he talked to her on messenger and confused her once more. She wondered if she really loved him or he had become a routine to her.


I really couldn't help her much. I just asked her to think properly whether to continue or stop and told her that if they manage to get married she cannot blame anyone because she makes that choice. Yeah, of course, they can divorce after that but I strongly disagree with the idea. No one would like to divorce I bet. Hmm... I gave her examples that I experienced with the parents of my students. I told her the struggles when she does not have support from the husband no matter what and asked her if she can take it when he keeps comparing and doesn't know how to appreciate her. I hope that she will make the right decision.

After chatting with her, I reflected on my relationship. I thank God that he had never scolded me stupid. The only time was he scolded me out of anger. The only problem we have is quality time. Time was the problem and is still the problem though. But I made the choice so I can't blame him. Just hope that we will have more time to be together. I once swore that I will not want a fat guy and will not want a doctor. But God is so funny. Many times, I wanted to quit this relationship but He just won't allow. God insisted that he is the one that I need, at least until now, He still thinks that he is the one I need. Oh well, many would think that I wanted a handsome guy but no. I just did not want a fat guy and a doctor.

I concluded and testified that God will always give what you need instead of what you want. Thus, those who are still seeking for what you want, forget about it and wait for the best thing that God has prepared for you.

I cannot imagine myself being compared with other people. I have been doing this by myself. If my life partner does this too, then I will surely think that even a dog is better than me. I would rather die. How sad! I also cannot stand if my partner often digs the old issues during present argument. Frankly, I'm grateful for what I have now. Many things had happened, good and bad and from bad to worse, those things brought us this far. Many sorries were said, many thanks were said, many forgiveness applied and many tears was shed. These are the spices that spiced us up. Hmm... I really hope that we can keep forgiving each other.

If some one really loves you, he/ she would give you the best and wants you to be happy all the time no matter how sad or hurt he/ she is on the other side of the world. Am I being too idealistic? I guess.

For Tony Leong


Yesterday was raining cats and dogs. One of my good friend came back from Singapore. We decided to visit his grandma together with my sister after work. After visiting his grandma who has Alzheimer, he suddenly thought of buying cheese cake from Deli Garden. So, we both sisters waited in the car for him. I was very in playful mode so I suddenly thought of taking his pictures when he ran out from the shop. So, for safety sake, I locked the door after he ran to the shop. I got ready my camera, once he ran out I snapped.



So I waited.

See? This is it! He ran so quickly to the car. However, I forgot that I had locked the door. He couldn't open so he knocked on the door. As he was knocking, I was think," Idiot, open la!" My sister also did not noticed that the door was locked. At last I realized that. Once he got in, we laughed like hell.

I was trying to snap his wet hair but failed. He was trying to cover my camera lens but he was too late. Before we reached this shop, he said that the rain is not heavy, asked me to go stand there to test. There, after the running in and out of the shop, he finally said that the rain is really heavy. *Noob*

Poor thing, his shirt is all wet! My fault though. Whenever he is around, we will laugh a lot.
Safe journey, dude! :)

Subculture

There are four socialization agents that will influence the process of forming an individual's personalities.
i) Family Influence
ii) School Role
iii) Peers
iv) Mass Media

Under Peers, there are 4 sub- cultures, they are:

i) Entertainment subculture-
This group of people emphasize more on outlook, outing and sports
ii) Academic subculture-
This group of people emphasize more on academic skills. They usually go for academic- oriented activities.

iii) Delinquents-
This is the most rebellious group. They play truancy and often go against the rules in school.

iv) Group that is not aligned to anybody-
This group of people tend to isolate themselves and do not care about what is happening.

Which group do you fall into?

As for me, I think I am the last one. I tend to isolate myself for some reasons and I don't really care about things that are not related to me directly. I do care when I care. Hmm... This became more appealing to me as I reflected on the friends that I have. I am like closed to one person of each group and most of my friends don't really know each other. The closed friends that I have is too random. Some times it is very hard to go out in a group because they don't know each other. Thus, I usually don't go out in a group except for the group of friends that know each other.
