It’s 3 more weeks before I am taking time off from working. 4 weeks before the wedding itself. Few more days for the Bach’s party. Stresfull, feeling lost at times.

Been quite into reading Kiyosaki’s books lately, in particular “A guide to investing”. I was very excited reading the book at first, the first few chapters were very motivational, however I find the book is getting more and more dragging on the middle. Kiyosaki does talk big about himself (and his dad), a thought come in my mind, if he and his dad are really that succesful surely their name would have been famous for the richess (like Donald Trump, Warren Buffet or Bill Gates), a quick googling on kiyosaki landed this site
I think I believe that report, I have to admit that Kiyosaki does sound dodgy at times. Surely by reading his books you would learn a thing or two in terms of finance, but if you are serious in wanting to learn, your money better spent on other books (of which I haven’t got one to recommend). Or better still borrow the books from Kiyosaki fanatics, like what I’ve done :> Got two books to read.
Hhh.. maybe investing my time and effort to please God would be more worthwhile, but oh the tempation, the desire to be secure, comfortable and rich. Hope to crucify them fully to the cross.

Hm so it’s new year 2005, 2004 would be my last year being single. 1 month and 19 days, I will be married to Lina. That will be something that I look forward to this year.
In 2004, I was parting with my sis, as she’s heading to Japan to study Japanese, parting with the comfort of city living in a luxurious apartment, parting with wonderful Westpac 341 George St’s mates. Coming down back to Kingsford, as I embark another journey as a part time student, thus coming back to CSE and UNSW. Living with Chris for few months, living 1 building away from Lina.
Ministry wise, I didn’t do a good job, lead a bible study group for 10 or so weeks, didn’t do enough with the people. Maybe it’s a reflection of my own sinfulness that I haven’t dealt with yet.
How would I sum up this year ya? Maybe a year of making peace with myself, not saying that I already fully crucified the desire but yeah I am more able to give thanks this year. Lina again helped me with this.
New year resolution maybe trying harder to treat her better. I am just so stupid a lot of times and so arrogant too. Another one, getting back to the habit of reading bible and praying, dont want to stay in this state of spiritual decline.
A new job is a bonus if I can get it, a house would be fine too, but that’s not a resolution, I am not aiming on those. I’m aiming to be a better man.
