Things which made my day

#1 I won best presentation for my research on "The Effects of Gender and Physical Attractiveness on Cooperation" at the Psychology Colloquium today! The prize was RM200 worth of MPH vouchers. :) A BIG THANKS goes out to Irina, Kitty, Doulos, Sharon and Huay Ming, without you guys I might not make it this far.

#2 Our country's JOY has been given international attention. CLICK HERE to know what I mean.

... have we forgotten about it?

What is Freedom?

"Freedom is not merely having the ability to do the things we want, but it is also having the will to do the things which we do not want."
- Christina Landau, Kemerdekaan @ "Do U Want to Be A Star?" Komunitas Emmanuel Youth Weekend, 2006

After The Incident / From the top of my head

Good ole' St. Augustine once said that God's omnipotence is manifested not in His ability to extinguish evil, but in His ability to bring good out of it. Because evil is the absence of good, therefore for God to bring good out of nothing is enough proof of his all-powerfullness.

The Incident that happened last week was the best thing yet that has happened to me! [I am not being sarcastic here ya?] I am serious! I felt so loved with all the encouragement (face-to-face or via sms/emails/comments/phonecalls) that I received from my friends and fellow bloggers/blogders. :)

I believe that was what St. Augustine meant when he said that God is able to bring good even out of evil. If not for the Incident I would not have known that there are so many people who find my existence on this planet significant. ;) Well, at least now I know I got to cater for at least 20 people when I have my funeral. *grin* :D

From the top of my head (in no particular order):

• Adam Sandler's Click is almost wholesomely-good - worth watching.
• Lady In The Water is like durian - an acquired taste. You either hate it or you love it. As for me, I am still deciding.
  
• An American Haunting sucked - it's basically Pride & Prejudice meets Amityville Horror. If you must watch, do so with no expectations.
• I believe in freewill. God - the Sovereign One - gave us the freedom of choice, why should mere man restrict our God-given rights?
• LINK: "Becket Fund Advocates for Faith by Choice in Malaysia"
  
• PRAY people. PRAY PRAY PRAY: even it's a one-liner God hears it. Every prayer counts.

I received a death threat...

Apparently, it's because I posted an article on the case of Lina Joy.
