see, Siok.
told you the blog didn't dieeee!
haha. (:

i suddenly remember this story, which is rather inspiring..

there was a boy who really unhappy with the world that he was living in. unhappy with the things and the people. so he made a decision in his heart that he will do something about it. - he shall change the world!
months and months he tried. and little did he know, that years had passed. and soon, he is already a growing teen.
he thought:"hey, if i can't change the world now, i should at least try changing how things are in my country!". so he made a decision in his heart that he will do something about it. - he shall change the way his country runs!
again, months passed. and before this teen knew, he is already a twenty odd man.
he thought:"hey, this ain't working. if i can't change the world and this country. i should at least change my state!". so he made a decision in his heart that he will do something about it. - he shall change the way his hometown is!
years passed yet again, and soon this man got married and is now the father of two.
and again, he thought:"oh dear. i've attempted for so long! and things are not working out in this world, nor this country. either this place i'm living in. i must work things out. i must at least change my home!". so he made a decision in his heart that he will do something about it. - he shall change the way he runs his family!
day in, day out. months, and then years passed. he is now an old man with beard and hair, colored with the color of snow.
old and weak, he thought to himself once more:"a youth, i was. trying to change the world. and years passed with a blink of an eye and now, an old man. but yet i acheived nothing.. maybe, i should just start with change my own world..."

well. this is the end of the story.
so many things, we had once thought. but maybe we should just start with changing ourselves! - the life that we are currently leading.
i believe things around us will eventually change.
our families;
our homes;
our soceity;
our country;
the world.

and ta-da!
the decision is in our hands now!
surely we don't want to be like the old man - having such a powerful revelation, but it was all too late for him to actually do anything.
and since we are still young! let's really make full use of our youth!

"Those from among you
Shall build the old waste places;
You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach,
The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In. " - Isaiah 58:12

here's another version:
"And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;
you shall raise up the foundations of [buildings that have laid waste for] many generations;
and you shall be called Repairer of the Breach,
Restorer of Streets to Dwell In." - Isaiah 58:12 (Amplified Blble)

excitinggggg!
