what is He trying to tell me here?
my dad dropped me off at national stadium gym.
it was closed just for today after 6pm due to the SSC family day..
i did not read the notice carefully
sped off to toa payoh thinking that the gym over there would be opened.
to my dismay and horror, i saw the same notice.
it reads that "ALL SSC facilities are closed on 6sept from 6pm onwards due to SSC family day"
made me pretty sians after that..
i should not even have taken a cab down to toa payoh in the first place..
and then i was thinking.
"Lord you put me in the right place and right time? or am i not flowing in the Spirit? how come i didn't hear anything not to go to the gym today?"
but yea as these qns raced through my mind..
i just decided to still myself..
went back to circuit road and walked past the hawker centre which i patronised frequently as a kid
as i walked past the stalls, the old seemed to vanish while newer stalls take their place.
just had this old school feeling inside me as i walked past.
well, my fav plate of fried beehoon hasn't changed much.
anyways i was talking about the book Anna and Kelly gave to me.
i would like to put down some points which really shook me hard.
pg 113
"I mean you stop looking to her to validate you, stop trying to make her come through for you, stop trying to get your answer from her."
"A man does not go to a woman to get his strength; he goes to her to offer it. You do not need the woman for you to become a great man, and as a great man you do not need the woman"
i mean to put it in gender equality terms, you switch the man with woman, and i think we are talking about different dynamics here.
before any feminist readers wave up their hands and ask fervently "why should a man offer his strength to a woman? aren't we women strong enough that we don't need anything from men?
just remember i'm not promoting any chauvinism right here.
these lines are just for people who find their acceptance from one another, regardless of gender.
everyone is searching for an answer in everything they do.
i think i better stop right here.
many a times there are still so many thoughts in my head that i would really want to blog out here.
but due to the content, i think it would be better if i tell you in person of what i think of some people.
