Behold Your Future

Behold your future. A questionnaire best describes your marital status.

A. Single
B. Married
C. Other
D. Refused

The first and second options are logical enough but, what would qualify 'Other'? And why do people wanted to know whether we'd been 'Refused' or not? Haiz..

Referring to the experiment did by a narrator of The Sun, he distributed this questionnaire to some people in a bar. Five minutes later all have answered except an elderly man who was still answering.

Some answered the first and second options. After a few minutes, the elderly man finally handed his paper. He had ticked 'Other'. So the narrator asked him, "But what do you mean by that? Are you married or not?".

He replied, "I had to thick 'Other' because my answer to that question is Can't Remember."

During the survey, one doleful young man has ticked 'Refused'. He then was curious about why do people wanted to know that he had been refused.

"Maybe they reckon guys like you are such total losers that they don't even want you on their spam list," said the narrator and he added this phrase in his article, 'Life is hard'.

Anyway, when I read this article, I found out that it refers mainly to men than women, since the narrator has mentioned that there are definitely two men and others remain as others without their genders stated. It also has triggered my curiosity of why women stay single. Since we have got a fair answer on why men stay single, what about women then?

Be noted that I'm not referring to all singles. Just the 'Refused' one.

They can't be falling under the same category as men. Losers?! Sincerely I would like to know why they are single since many of them are still pretty. Not to make them laughing subjects but I would like to understand their reasons too.

For the girls who may not understand why some guys stay single, I could give an example of myself but it may not be the best one. Long story cut short, I met a girl; falls in love; was never accepted; felt so rejected and heart broken; was curious to know whether this is a love or a crush and hoping it is a crush; tried to open my heart to another girl; but still can't forget her; spoiled the beautiful friendship between her and me; and still seeking for forgiveness from her.

I went through all these heart-aching moments and still hoping her forgiveness. At one time I finally accepted that she is not for me. I may not open my heart to any other girl forever. Nobody has stolen my heart at the first sight like she did but, 'Unconditional Love' could still exist in a friendship.

A joke to share

Story #1

A man went to a clinic to get some treatment. He saw there were four rooms for those in out-patient category to serious level of case, each separated accordingly. He was curious to know about how the nurse select which patient enters which room, so he asked her,

"I see four rooms with different level of patient-illness category. How do you categorize us accordingly?"

She answered, "Well. We test the patients by filling a bathtub full with water and give them a tea-spoon, a big mug, and a pail, and ask them to empty the bathtub."

And the man immediately replied, "Oh. I get it. The one who uses the pail is at the normal condition. You treat the person in the first room."

"No" said the nurse with a smile. "Normal people will just unplug the trap. You don't have to take the test. I know the right room for you"

Story # 2

Every morning, Sandy will stand out at the entrance and shout, "Thank you, Lord!", before she starts her day.

Tommy, who stays at the next door, will always shout back to her, "There is no God!. You are lame."

And Sandy will reply, "You are wrong. God is everywhere."

One day, Sandy has no enough money to buy her groceries, so she stood outside her house and shouted, "Lord. I have no enough money to buy some groceries. I know you can help me. Please send the groceries to me."

Surprisingly there was no reply from Tommy. Sandy did notice that but she is not interested to know why.

In the evening, the door-bell rang and Sandy opens her door. At the entrance, there was a bag of groceries but nobody was around. She was so happy to see the groceries and she shouted, "Thank you Lord. Thank you for the groceries."

And Tommy replied, "There is no God!. You are lame. It was I who bought you the groceries"

" Oh yes there is God". She replied. "He is the One who bought the groceries and made the devil pay them."

C my life

Sometime before I have noticed that my life is involved with many things that start with the letter C.

First, my name is Anbuchudar Christie. Some people prefer calling me Christie rather than calling me Anbu or Sudar.
I prefer to take up challenges. Challenge enjoys both failure and win. Just that, sometime i give time for certain things before i take them as challenges.
I give importance to charismatic attitude for myself and on others. This is how i got involved in reviving Chess Challenge Club and Catholic Students Society and became their chairperson too.
I am a Christian, a Catholic. Well it should be Roman Catholic, but I prefer addressing myself as a Catholic.
As a Church goer, i get involved in it's social and spiritual activities too. There, I teach Catechism, get involve with youth activities and KUBM (Bahasa Malaysia Apostolate), a musician and a trainer for Bahasa Malaysia choir.
As for an animal, I like cat. I don't care whether it is domestic cat or the wild big cat.
As for re-energizing phrase, I always say in my heart that "I am a champion. GAMBATTE!!"
I have more Chinese friends of all races, but I never picked-up their language.
I prefer their food too, and my most favourite is Char Koey Teow (Fried Koey Teow).
My all-time favourite PC games are Championship Manager and Counter Strike. Board games are Chess and Chinese Chess.

The Greatest is Love

Love is patient and kind;
Love is not jealous or boastful;
It is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own ways;
It is not irritable or resentful;
It does not rejoice at wrong.
But rejoices in the right.
Love bears all things,
Believes all things,
Hopes all things,
Endures all things.
Love never ends...
So Faith, Hope, Love abide, these three;
But the greatest of these is
Love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8, 13

Release me, Lord

Ever faced that someone that you love the most, hates you?

Life afterall is cruel in a way. I have said 'Live life abundantly', 'Life is beautiful', 'Declare beauty again'.... and more, but today, I feel like that I am standing at a stage where life is telling me that I am useless.

I put the blame on me. If I could, I just wanted to vanish from this world, but that would be very coward thought. You could ask me whether I have tried to change the situation. I did try, but I couldn't continue. I could never think of another girl except her. But why is this happening if this is impossible? Why this agony?

But forget about all these. Can't I just move forward? Why holding me to her?

Everything You do upon me Lord is good. That is what i am trying to believe without doubt. I know it is true but I am just an ordinary person. Release me from this pain.

Greetings 2010...

As the new year is here, I was wondering whether i would be the same person as i am now.

Since young, my life was very much complex that i hardly had a choice to choose freely. Choosing an option from anything and choosing an option from provided things are different.

When i was young, my life was full of pampering though i do get beaten by my mom. I was always the kid that was seen as the bookworm, or the smart freak in my neighbourhood and among my relatives. Secondly, since my mom's side were all Catholics, i was a figure of wanna-be-priest to them. For that purpose, i always try to watch-out my behaviour whenever i was with them. The best part was, i always get extra cash (ang-pows) compare to my sisters.

During these days, my performance as a leader is zero. I had never tried to take a lead but had been always with books and play-in-school-only activities, a simple say, very much introvert. This was how i was growing up from child to a young teenager, until somebody put a mirror in front of me.

Once when i was in Form Two going Form Three, my cousin who is much older than me, told my mom in front of me that i could obtain many more certificates and praises in academics but, i still would end up as untalented and unsuitable to perform in profession. That was my turning point in my life.

Form Three entering a new school gave me a break through from my introvert life-style. I was entering from all-boys La Sallian to a mixed-gender school for the first time. Frankly, my break through all started with some blushings. Meeting girls who are totally strangers and talking to them, was never on my mind, but there was my training base of my disturbing-girls attitude. Even till today, i have this attitude and it seems not stopping for the moment.

From introvert to extrovert. From being an audience to a person that takes the lead and perform. Making mistakes in leadership and learning to do them better and better. A lot of changes have happened in my life, and i enjoy them.

But yet, i had never changed that much. There were times that i like to not to meet people, being crazy, and taking lead. There were times that i enjoyed being lonely, doing something with full of seriousness and being led by others. Because of i could balance my extrovert and introvert attitudes, i was able to learn and teach basic theology, scripture, biology, history, being passionate about sacred music, and much more. And at the same time, behaving like a crazy person, being a risk taker and being bold to open a topic in table talk and much more.

Changes happen in our life. This year, we could be facing some new agendas in our life. Whatever they are, Live Life Abundantly.

Happy New Year, Friends.....
