Thinkativity :A little bit of knowledge is so dangerous.
Thinkativity :Fashion is a result of every person trying to be different to the extent that everyone becomes the same, each thinking he is different and stands out from the herd of those trying to be different.
Thinkativity :Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
Thinkativity :The opening prayer in today's Holy Mass: "...even the tensions and tragedies of sin cannot frustrate God's loving plans... give us the strength to follow God's call, so that God's truth may live in our hearts and reflect peace..."
Thinkativity :I've been working hard over the weekend trying to save my organisation five thousand buckaroos. Here are the results: check this link out.
Thinkativity :What is so great a virtue in choosing to trust? It is this: in all trust, there is a possibility of betrayal.
Thinkativity :The one thing the people of this world sorely need is guts. Guts to believe and to stand up for what we believe.
Thinkativity :Malaysian society has lost a prophetess today. Yasmin Ahmad.
Thinkativity :There are times when some truths of faith are enveloped in great obscurity. It is then that faith is purified and, in time, is deepened.

Thinkativity :In a world that tells you of the impossibility of things, and that you're made of inferior blood, all it takes is a few people who truly believe in you to help you soar. But first, make sure you're an eagle.
Thinkativity :I find myself sad - somewhat mourning - over the death of a very elderly friend. Wanted to blog more about it, but my memories of her are now too sacred to be spoken of. She is very much missed.
Thinkativity :This blog may look slightly disorientated in the next few days. I'm trying to integrate Twitter into it. If my attempt fails, I'm ditching Twitter. It's terribly slow.
Thinkativity :By the way, I convocated yesterday. It was a simple affair. No fanfare. This is probably the last convocation of my life.
Thinkativity :A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.
Thinkativity :Would you fight a war for your country?
Thinkativity :Sometimes you've got to figure out what you want in this life. Then you've got to think about how much it's worth to you.
Thinkativity :It's great being on the road, meeting new people and keeping in touch with friends. But once you're home, you know you're where you should be. That's why it's called home.
Thinkativity :The tongue is a murderous weapon. Some words, once spoken, cannot be retracted.
Thinkativity :Death is such a sacred thing. Attempting to say some parting words for a friend who has passed on so suddenly almost feels like trying to touch the divine.
Thinkativity :Siapa yang menduga segalanya, suratan takdir Maha Esa.
Thinkativity :Community is like a bouquet of flowers, nice when fresh, horrid when kept around for too long. But it's when we feel that we've been around one another for too long that we've got to stick around.
Thinkativity :In case you haven't noticed, I've done a renovation on my little "Wall of Fame" (the row of pictures on the right bottom). This new renovation renders the icons more reflective of the present state of my faith journey.
Thinkativity :Sometimes the very measures we put in place to safeguard our liberty become threats themselves.
Thinkativity :History shows us that every decision a man makes has an effect on somebody's life.
Thinkativity :At the airport now in Manila. Boarding the plane in half an hour's time to return to Malaysia. It's been a long good two weeks. I've experienced conversion many times over.
Thinkativity :Apologies for the very irregular and infrequent postings. I've been on the road. Out of the 31 days of this month, I'm travelling for a total of 21 days. Whenever I'm back, I'm busy recovering from exhaustion and hangover.
Thinkativity :A wise old sage told me today: Nobody's perfect; a person can't have both intelligence and good looks at the same time. HAHAH!
Thinkativity :I was speaking at an inter-religious event last night. The lady who introduced me to the crowd was reading from a script prepared in Braille, because she was visually impaired. By golly, the way she read the words with the tip of her fingers was amazing.
Thinkativity :My blogposts are so far and few now huh? It's not that I've run short of ideas on things to post about. I've just been kept really busy. It's unlikely to be different anytime soon.
Thinkativity :I'm at the very tailend of my doctoral studies now. I'll be submitting my dissertation for assessment this weekend. My parish priest asked me last night (because I've been ranting and lamenting to him), "Hey, are you struggling with the finality of it all, because it feels too final and terminal?" By golly, he's right.
Thinkativity :I had a weird dream last night. I dreamed that Mahathir, our previous Prime Minister, was asked to leave Petronas. How strange is that?! I think this recent hike in the price of petrol must be taking its toll on me.
Thinkativity :I lay up all night wondering, how will I be in charge of the pastoral wellbeing of about 2 thousand young people and the formation of 7 thousand people in total? And to top it up, this is just one thing I'm doing now besides constant writing, driving, flying, and dialoguing. I'll figure it out eventually.
Oh, and blogging...
Thinkativity :George Sampson won Britain's Got Talent for 2008. Simon Cowell called him the dancing version of Rocky. I agree. He's a fighter, that young lad. Refuses to take fate lying down.
Thinkativity :I love the contestants in Britain's Got Talent this year. But I really hope either Andrew Johnston or George Sampson win the competition. Better still if they both could get to win the competition, because they both deserve to win. Alas, there can only be one winner.
