"Hello world... I'm in the office now. Supposed to be doing my design for the website but I'm taking a break now. Can't wait for lunch. So hungry! Quite tired now... Still haven't been getting enough sleep." - written at 10:55am -

Single-minded genius

Creative genius and criminal activity show early in men, but both are turned off almost like a tap when they marry and have children, a study says.
Psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa, from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, studied 280 scientists and concluded that scientific productivity faded with age and wedlock. Young criminals who marry well turn good; single ones tend to stay bad.
Mr Kanazawa theorised that the male hormone, testosterone, was what drove young men to compete for glory and gain the attention of women.

Yesterday I went to church after work for the 'gg meeting'. Had to stand in the bus for 3/4 of the journey to eunos. Had Ban Mian for dinner before walking to church. I was listening to Something Corporate - Konstantine for the 8th time that day... VERY EMO... Very Good! Haha. GG meeting was good... Had a nice worship and a good time of prayer in between. Stanley said something that shocked me. He said he was encouraged by me!!! Imagine that! Haha... Met Ignite after the meeting... they were having practice. Eileen was there too... We chatted awhile. Good to talk to her again without having the blood rush to my head...

Went for a drink after that with Andy, Stanley and Raymond... Talked about one of my favourite verses. Psalm 37:4... Wanted to know the definition of desires. What I understood was that desires are fine as long as they don't take top priority in your life and it doesn't cause you to sin. There is scripture proving that God wants us to enjoy this life, and at the same time be content with whatever we have. Its just one of those things... I must believe that God will give me the desires of my heart if and when I live my life pleasing to Him and honor Him at all I do. I must have faith and believe that He will keep His promise. Do all this and still place God above or else and you'll get your desire. Formula for success? Its difficult to say... I have problems placing God above all else as it is... I don't need something else bothering me on whether I'm doing things for the right reason. At least not yet...
