hmmmmmm.

if Adam and Eve were the first and only human beings created by God out of nothing, is it then right to say that we're all products of incest?

a tribute to the KOO FAMILY.

not to boast but i am simply thankful for this family i have. the father, the mother and the sister. one which i will definitely follow after and yearn to have when my turn comes. hurhur.

how could anybody ask for more?

we're not perfect but we're sure and secure about the love we share for each other. no need for gifts, no need for a lot of quality time, don't even really need the verbal expressions of love.
there is mutual understanding and respect and that's one of, if not the most important ingredient in building a happy family!

i feel that it is unnecessary and may even backfire to be uptight and anal about your 20yearold child's whereabouts and whom he/she's with, what he/she's doing and what time he/she's coming home. you may choose to argue that it's only natural for a parent to worry but i assure you there's no need for 20missed calls when you're sure he/she will be back in one piece and all you really care about is your security as the position of a parent and thus want to restrict and manipulate your child's choices. you may also want to argue that a parent SHOULD be "on top of things" when it comes to their 20yearold child(who is now a young adult) but can i say that THAT may be the EXACT CAUSE of their rebellion? this is my take on parenting(i'm speaking as though i'm a father already but ANYWAY) - freedom is essential. mutual understanding and respect is vital. love tops the list. OMG. i can't believe i'm writing this. but YES, we all lead our own lives and have our own views and preferences. not everything can be under your control and that's just life. If even God gave us a freewill, why try to take that away from our children? He gave us the knowledge of good and evil (okay, i mean adam took it by biting that stupid apple) and then a freewill to decide on which to take. so if you're a Christian, that's your memory verse for the week! HAHA. (I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE I'M WRITING THIS!) even God does not manipulate us, so please...it's only smart that we don't either.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A TRIBUTE. SO HERE IT GOES...

to daddy koo, mummy koo and sister koo,
thank you for all of your understanding and respect on my who, what and where decisions.
thank you for accepting me as i am. (please note that this is NOT a given in case you're thinking i'm cliche)
thank you for knowing my needs and how i work and living with them (sometimes, and only sometimes BEARING with them. heh)
thank you for the support.
thank you for believing in me and trusting me as your son/brother.
thank you for not making noise when i don't come home or come home at sunrise (and i know you do that because you trust and not that you don't care. :) ) when i think any other overly-protective/borderline manipulative parent would.
thank you for the other many countless loving things you guys have done for the past 20 years while living with this brat.
and lastly,
thank you for accepting and loving her.

:)

no no no!

no no no they're not true! i sound like i'm pleading for your kind understanding. ohh wait. i think i am! i really don't know what you guys have heard from the less-than-amusing phone calls you've received from godknowswho or from merely hearsay. BUT e point is....i might have been slandered against! HAHA.

no, i'm not accusing my buddy of being a gay.
no, i'm not harbouring a poor little girl as hostage in my room.
no, i did not impregnate anybody!
no, i'm not running away from e police!
and NO to whatever other slandering piece of bullshit she tried convincing you about.

FUCK. i can't believe i have to justify myself when i've done nothing SHE can press charges against. this is really absurd.

and here's a big THANK YOU to TYL for your understanding. i hate and am embarrassed to have implicated you. but things are much better now i hope and yes, you've offered some sound advice which we'd try our very best to take.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!
(it finally means more than a fricking friendship day to me, HAHA).

i wonder...

this might not be all that encouraging but i can't help but to believe it. does CHANGE really exist or is it just synonymous to an extreme case of RESTRAINT? and why do i think so? a highly debatable subject and i'm keen to hear your views on this.

it sounds common and right to say that people change over time, due to circumstances and because of the influence of the people around them. i wouldn't disagree with that but here's my take on it. after much thought, i'd say that a change in a person's life is nothing more than acts of restraint coupled with a new perspective. let's take for example a guy who WAS uncouth, promiscuous and smokes. sounds like a typical example of someone who doesn't have a very positive social influence. now let's say that person involves himself in a positive influence of friends or simply attends a highly motivational talk on ethics. what he sees now is the advantages of being refined, morally upright and living a smoke-free life. He realizes that more people are willing to accept him when he's refined. He understands his value and self-worth and decides not to indulge in casual sex because there's someone out there who means more than that to him. He also makes a firm decision to abstain from cigarettes because of the many health risks and the unreasonably high costs it incurs. so is this change or a simple case of restraint and of a different perspective to these issues? i'd say the latter. He now knows that he can abstain from these habits and still be happy(or even happier) and be more socially accepted and save on unnecessary costs and reduce health risks. this is gonna sound really doubtful or even borderline sinful but i'd say it anyway. In a case like this in church, you'd say that God changed him. i disagree. He just saw for himself the advantages and made an optimal solution out of it. YES it will hurt at e start and it'll be really difficult and uncomfortable but he knows his efforts are not in vain and for a much higher benefit. it's a decision HE made. It is restraint because he IS addicted to cigarettes and sex is pleasurable. But he chose to practise it(restrain) because of the new perspective he has come to know of and stands by. Nevertheless, the temptations will still be lurking around whether or not God is in the picture.

What's really discouraging him from going back to his past? is it really God or his will(restraint) and mind(perspective)?
