i Love my famiLy- thks to God

this is an extract of wat my bro wrote and also a response to my cousin (whom is talented !!!!!)

----Thk God i hv a family forum (1st one in Mar/Apr 2006, the 2nd one coming up) which has helped many 3rd generation-members (born in 1980s and late 1970s) to communicate (topics such as spending, bgr, generational gap -communication bet. parents and children...) to the 2nd generation (born earlier, my parents, uncles and aunts...). Not all r christians, but i firmly believe God is using many of us (esp. my Sigu-Rachel thks ! =p ...and touching many amg us.

After reading Joon Yah's email... I just couldnt resist the urge to reply. Even as JY has painted the ugliest and most unthinkable picture for the future, I do not deny such a possiblity. But i would rather believe that peace will prevail and that is much to plan for.. No doubt we have reached another impt crossroad of our lives. The A levels would most likely determine where and what course we are taking. And there is nothing worst then studying a subject that we have little interest in. So might as well work a little harder now and spare urself the agony later. The most impt thing here is still to study what u are most interested in and passionate about. There is no "the course" anymore... Often we succumb to the expectation of our parents that we forgo what is impt to us. Actually every occupation has its own forerunners and why should we continue to live in the typical mindset that those who involve in ARTS and SPORTS are less likely to succeed. Anw dont u think the notion of success is not so abt wealthiness but more abt satisfying the spiritual needs and even maintain good living lifestyle and health.. May this could be the centre of discussion this time.. The notion of success and how the 2nd and 3rd generation percieve it.
Oh ya, Joon yan dont be overly despair abt ur results. You fell sick during ur last and most crucial week of preparation and it caused you to underprepare. Actually from the highly interesting and provocative reply, i know ur results are not even a close indication of ur intelligence. Even Chua praised that you have had made tremendous progress. So have faith in urself and work hard. (LOL maybe u can take my offer of staying at my house where we can motivate each other to work hard... although it may sound insane)

Haha... glad to see that we are now actively using technology to communicate. Actually we may seem to be using the computer excessively but actually we are using it to widen out horizon, to enlarge our networks of friends and to increase our knowledge. When was the last time u see me using the com to play computer games? LOL even i cant recall...

One last thing i can remotely sense the sarcasm when joonyan commented that i was a smart poser. It seems to have a negative connotation to it. "Smart" is often related to the muggness and it's definitely something which i dont want to be associate to. And "poser" is even worst... I dont even style my hair like you do...
