A flip to an empty page,
the writing down of a name.
The look of his face in the head,
with details, or not,
he will inevitably die.
A heart attack.
Reasons specified, or not,
immediately, or at a time specified.
He will inevitably die.
————————————
A flip to a page,
The reading of a page,
With a loving heart,
Could possibly lead to another person being save.
————————————
A book that kill and a book that save. Which one will you choose?
After thinking through a bit in my mind, I have come down to a conclusion. But before that, let’s analyze the pros and cons of the possibility that lies within.
*Owner of a bible = A believer who have already acknowledge Jesus as his Lord and Savior.
1) The owner of the Death Note can neither go to Heaven nor hell.
The owner of a bible can only go to heaven.
2) The person in possession of the Death Note is possessed by a God of Death. It’s original owner until they die.
The person in possession of a bible is guided by God of all creations. It’s original owner even after they die.
3) Gods of Death, the original owner of the Death Note, do not do, in principle, anything which will help or prevent the death in the note.
God of all creations, the original owner of the bible will do, in principle, anything which will help or prevent the owner from being defeated by the enemy.
This is almost enough for me to make a decision already. But to make a firm decision, there is just one last point that I would like to include.
The maximum day the owner can own the death note is the number of days that he has own earth. After he dies, the death note will either return ownership to the Death God or another human will take over and this human himself will dwell in neither heaven nor hell. A place of total emptiness, quiet yet eerie.
So after 99 years(at most), living at the top of the world with a throne set up in honor of fearing you and ruling the world with an iron fist. You will be reduced to nothing, spending the rest of your after life in a life of nowhere.
Yet, the owner of a bible after living his days on earth fulfilling the Great Commission, will spend the rest of his after life in a life of fullness in heaven for eternity.
99 years on earth and “insert number here†“insert unit that no one has invented yet†is really a big difference. Now, back to the main question.
A book that kill and a book that save. Which one will you choose?
You be the judge.
Seems that recently I’ve been having opportunity to do some sort of talk in front of more then 10 people. Excluding daily lesson. Not long ago, I’ve shared my testimonials in front of I think 30+ people at Evo Retreat. That time, I recall being very nervous despite years or rather months of training in RP. I’m still stumbling when it comes to individual presentation.
And guess what? Today, I’m standing in front of RP W2 SMART LT(Not that there’s anything smart inside) with a 50 60 seaters conducting a Java Workshop on Applet. Believe me man, it’s one hell of an experience. LoL The participants consist of Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 and I was told it’s just for Year 3. What happen? For you to find out, for me to know
Ming Li, Anabella and Xiao Ni whose with me was searching frantically for a 50 seats smart LT. To our despair, all we’ve found it a 60 seats Smart LT. I was told there’s a LCD screen in front of all seats. Only to find just mic in front of all seats.
So after going through level 3 for about 3 rounds, the SMART LT that I had an impression of seems to be in another dimension somewhere in a lost galaxy far far away….
Then Kay Kiat came claiming to be in the event management. So cool! We let him lead the way. After walking 3 rounds. He’s lost too. Finally, after 30 minutes, Marcus told me to stay at the 60 seaters first. When I went in, there is this girl which I think came not 5 minutes ago. She was seating on the speakers chair eating doughnut. I was astounded to her response from verifying if I’m the speakers.
She said.
“Thanks for being late”
wtf?
At that moment, in my heart, I almost went speechless. However, the Natural Instincts in me is very alert to this kind of particular comments. So without thinking twice since I too have some “issue” with the “high people”, I responded.
“Oh actually I happened to be here 30 minutes ago when someone else is still occupying the room and was walking around to look for a 50 seaters SMART LT with an LCD on every chairs as describe to me.”
“Apparently, this place happened to be a 60 seaters with just mic on every seats. And I’m sure, 5 minutes ago when I look into this place..”
“you weren’t here..”
well well well. I’m not sure which list of hers am I in at that moment.
While preparing my stuff, she then approached me again and ask me how many slides do I have. Oh I said 15.
“Are you sure you need one hour for 15 slides?”
I press arrow up one time and said.
“They are required to write almost one page filled of code”
She went speechless…
Workshop started, I flashed a slide on installing JDK and that slide itself took 20 minutes of the workshop time. By the way, I only added this slide on the spot today because Year 1 Students are here.
Started presenting the steps on installing the JDK(Java Development Kit) and along the way, there’s always a “Har?” sounded somewhere. Yes. It’s very irritating. So guess what, I was told by the management to “demonstrate” the procedure of Accessing P:\Keep7Days\JavaWorkshop\ and COPY AND PASTE whatever it’s inside the folder. LONG LIVE THE Management Team!
Yep. So I’ve spent 20 minutes showing them the steps over and over again just to satisfy their err… method -_-”.
So finally, after half an hour. It’s time to get the workshop going. Explaining what is Java Applet, How is it being used, How to insert it into website and… finally.. write a simple Hello World code!
Well, I guess it’s to be expected that when I asked if there are any questions at this point of time, many people said, they are still downloading JDK from P Drive and yet I’ve already been through half the lesson. I was like WTF? LoL
But I’ve stayed Calm and explained,
“Actually, while waiting for the JDK to install or download, maybe you guys could just listen to what I said first, since there’s no coding required YET“.
I didn’t think such a thing needs to be explained..
So I’ve got a pretty attentive class for a while
Time to write the code. I fail to realize they are really year 1 student having no experience with Java. Here’s what one of them wrote initially:
public class HelloWord extends Applet
public.void paint(Graphic g)
so on and so on…
I’m not going to explain what’s wrong with this code. But wow, only then did I realized they are year 1s!
I’m real slow..
Then SHE came to me again.
“Can you hurry up abit? You left 30 minutes with 10 more slides to go.
I said.
“Cant be helped. I cant proceed if they dont even have JDK!”
Then I was told that the slides isn’t well prepared.
Naturally, I responded.
“Oh, I was told to prepare a WorkShop for year 3 Students. I wasn’t aware Year 1 will be around at all.”
“To the Year 1, this Applet workshop can be considered Out of the World since they have no programming foundation.”
After that, the workshop lasted pretty rush.
Later when I wanted to change the Workshop for tomorrow to something basic like “Introduction to Java” to accomodate to the year 1 since there are so many year 1. Marcus told me if I do that OSG will get on his back and there will be alot of trouble.
Long Live the OSG!
Jonathan said It’s stand for (”Office of Student Affairs and Graduates”)
Finally, I’ve decided to end the workshop at 6:10 after covering just two out of 3 codes. Saying things like
“Tomorrow Workshop will cover on more advance stuff, but it’s still within the basic.”
“So….”
“bye bye“.
Then I walk back to my laptop and guess what? The “Har” started everywhere again. So one of the management came in to say
“Just to clarify what he have said”
“Tomorrow will be a seperate workshop and there is no link between today and tomorrow.”
whatever… I’ve lost trust in them ever since SCPM days…There’s just too many miscommunication..
Tomorrow. It’s going to be held in an even big place. It can take up 100 Students! Gosh.. how’s tomorrow going to be like?
Only God knows…
