I’ve decided to start blogging again and hope I’ll continue this habit this time round.
I’ll talk about events in my life that I’ll classified as miracles. I’ll be blogging in http://yewliang.blogspot.com instead of friendster.
It has been almost one year since I wrote here. I was reading through my blog and it seems so boring. As I’m trying to read as a third party, I can’t help saying who this guy think he is.
I feel like deleting the previous post, but then I decided to just leave it there because that was what’s in my mind at that point in time, regardless on whether it’s a boring topic, unrealistic talk, trying to act like angel or whatever.
Thinking back, sometimes it’s good that one write down their thoughts instead of going straight into action, whether if it’s logical or not, otherwise I’ll probably be messing out with things which now seems to me like so insignificant.
Certain things may seems like a great deal at the moment, but now after around 1 year, the only thought that came to my mind is who cares.
Lately there’s a lot of telephome scams. One of my friend got cheated. Be careful with your money. They usually capitialized on people’s greed and fear.

Just heard over the radio that there’s progress for the Korean hostages held in Taliban. News mentioned that Taliban has agreed to release the hostages because Korea has agreed to pull out their troops from Afaganistan and also not have any more Christian ministries in Afaganistan… something like that…
Thank God for the good news and hope that situation will not turn worse. Personnally, I’m not sure if this is a good move by Korea. It’s indeed a relieve to hear that there chances for the hostages to return home, but looking at things in a bigger picture, I wonder if it sent the right message to whoever is following the news for whatever reason. Oh well, I didn’t follow the politics behind this and shall not comment too much.
I’m a pioneer in Boon Lay CC Chinese Orchestra which was setup in 1987. This year, we celebrate our 20 years of establishment.
I was a very active member, but lately I was out of action. I was told to go back for practice for the year end concert to celebrate our 20th anniversary.
But there’s some unhappy events events happening lately. There’s some misunderstanding between the Orchestra and the Senior Citizen sub-group. The Senior Citizen sub-group refused to particiapte in the concert. Our chairman was very angry over the incident. I heard from both side of the stories and I can only conclude that the Senior Citizen is lacking in understand how the Orchestra should operate and that’s why there’s politics now.
I can only concluded that there’s some power struggle, wrong/unjustified expectations, and sinful nature of man. I’m very sad over this incident. Everyone in the orchestra are my friends and now it seems like 2 parties are going separate ways and there’s resentment among each other.
Throughout the history of Chinese Orchestra Troupe in Singapore, most of them do not survive long. There has always been politics happening in Orchestra leading to it’s downfall. Boon Lay CC Chinese Orchestra can last so long due to it’s wise management through our Chairman and this is something that we are proud of. But now it seems like we are also failing. The main reason being that someone refuse to play the game according to the rule that was set which enable us to last so long.
I felt like being involved in this to try to bring both parties to the right track but I’m very afraid to be involved cos this involves human issue which is the most difficult issue to solve. Sinful nature of man has always lead to lots of damages which doesn’t make sense. Sometimes when someone is too indulged into their sinful nature, no words or reasoning could get in to them unless they get what they wanted.
The sins that are involved in this issues are self-centered, hatred, pride, ignorance and anger.
I’m actually struggling as to what should I do. I felt bad if I did not do something that I could have done, but I’m afraid that I may think too highly of myself and make things worse.
I do not want to be at the selfish side and just let these people due with the problems and or just the problems due with itself. The reason being that I felt that my words may touch some people who are being manipulated. My aim is to bring some of those who are loss to the right track, even if it’s just one person. But I doubt my capability.
Thank God that 2 hostages has been released. May God continue to bless the other 19 who are still held hostage.
Sometimes I wonder why people are doing things that do things that could be condemned by the God that they believed. Whichever God that they believed in, do they think that they can hide whatever evil thoughts in their mind from the God that they believed in. If they are able to outsmart God through any deception, then the God will not be worthy to be a God for worship.
Yes for some, no for others.
Actually it all depends on the perspectively you are looking at.
From horizontal perspective, probably life is not fair when bad people are leading a very good life and dies peacefully.
But from the vertical perspective, they will eventually face an eternal judgement after death which will definitely be fair as nothing will escape God’s eye no matter how we tried to hide it.
So when life is unfair to me, what should I do? Continue to be good and let life be even more unfair because the rewards will be much greater than I’m going to expect because of strong faith.
May God bless those who are currently being taken hostage by Taliban and comfort the families for those who were being killed.
I know I’ll have problem blogging… I can’t even remember that I’ve got this blog.
Thanks to Tripley for posting a comment… This gives me the motivation to start again cos at least someone is reading.
As I’m going to start blogging again, I was struggling initially how to navigate to create a new post… Anyway, that’s not much of a problem for me, after clicking here and there, I finally manage to come to this page to start writing.
Now the next problem is what to write… I happen to come across Celina’s blog and see this:
"what goes around, comes around, just be good, and the good things will come to you… a quote from my friend, Yew Liang"
hmm… did I say this? Did I say such profound thing? hee…
Well, probably I did at that time, but now I’ve got a different perspective. Sometimes good things may not come to you even though you are good. We usually do not have control as to what will happen to us, be it good or bad.
Of course, we’ll always want good things to happen to us, but we have to acknowledge that bad things can happen to us too even when we do good things. Perhaps, that’s because the nature of man is that we are sinful. Sometimes, bad things happen could happen because of other unrelated sinful nature of ours.
So, when bad things happen, some people may say why is this happening to me when I’ve always been good. It is not wise to use our own understanding to explain why certain bad things happen in our life.
Good things is not necessarily good and bad things is not necessarily bad. The key is to always be good regardless of the outcome. Only God knows what’s best for you. We will not know immediately.
Blogging can be very time consuming and my busy schedule does not permit me to be addicted to it. If I’m not addicted, I can’t write well… If I’m addicted, I’ll die.
So what I’m going to do is to write without much thinking, i.e I’ll not care if I’ve written it well or not, objective or subjective, right or not…
Never have the habit of keeping a diary and doesn’t really like blogging too.
Just want to try it out and see how it goes.
