Went to GrooveTV hiphop competition last night.
Hiphop includes krumps, locking, breakdancing, rapping, and so on.
The opening scene was a bunch of teens doing krumps.
I never knew such a dance existed!
Looked like orangutan or neanderthals in spasms...
(you can youtube krump and judge for yourself)
But then the applause and cheers was unexpectedly loud when some of them manage to do some 'super-spasms'...
Now I wonder if its my definition of 'coolness' and taste getting further away from the next generation....
The dances were cool and creative overall,
cannot imagine myself doing any of those though.
Some were graceful, some looked constipated.
Of course there's the neanderthals in spasms,
and some are just cute! - kids doing hiphop with some adults moves...
and of course there's some which are just weird moves - totally not cool at all.
Told my friend that 'there sure is a lot of weird people out there' and she just laughed...LOL!
I might just go do some capoeira and maybe even breakdancing next time....
Just for the fun of it!
So that I've been there and done that!

Who is Jesus? 3
This is the person we worship…
He was not born in royalty or wealth.
He was born in a manger.
He was the son of a carpenter and was a carpenter himself.
He was even called a drunkard and glutton.
He was a friend to sinners.
He was radical in his teachings.
He taught us about God’s love and His kingdom.
He taught us to love one another.
He taught us to love and bless even our enemies.
He taught us to the way of life.
He healed the sick and the disabled.
He wept for his friend.
He raised the dead.
He washed even his disciples’ feet.
He was abandoned by his disciples at the time of his arrest and crucifixion.
He was crucified only after two to three years of his ministry.
So why do we worship him?
His ministry period only lasted two to three years.
His death was a death of criminals – tortured and crucified.
His disciples fled and denied him during his darkest hours.
His claims were outrageous which no other major religion founders dared to claim – one of which he claimed to be God.
(see previous post Who is Jesus? for other claims)
I've always been amazed at the differences of Jesus and other religion founders.
I've always think that the most important thing to know when stepping into a religion is the life of its founder - his life, teachings, claims, and deeds.

Fortunate Or Unfortunate?
Had a puncture last night when I was driving home.
Spent probably 30mins to an hour to change the tyre.
But I'll tell them, it is definitely a fortunate thing.
If it were to puncture when I was driving more than 100km/hr,
down the two-lane (two-ways) highway to work next morning,
who knows what might happen?
I might not be writing here anymore.
But fortunately, it happened last night while I was only on a 60km/hr road.
So no big issues there.
Just slow down and find a place to park.
Its a wonder how a slight change of the way you think can affect your mood during and after the incident.
So whenever an 'unfortunate' incident happens to you,
stop and think again,
because you may find out that that incident may not be as unfortunate as you think...

What a Wonderful World 2
If you want to have a break from reading news regarding all the bad things that happens around the world, or if you are wondering if there's any good left in the world, read this:
Wonderful World from MSNBC
I've just found out that MSNBC has a frontpage on 'Wonderful World' in their World News section just below their 'terrorism' section.
Apparently there's still some love in the world...

浩劫中创造奇迹
这次的浩劫，
使世人团结起来帮助灾民。
我们也许不明白为何上帝要让这些灾难发生，
但通过报导我们可以知道世间仍然充满着爱。
我想也许其中一个原因，
是要让我们沉淀在心底的爱心，
对慈济的爱心重新燃烧起来，
使人们团结一心，
为灾民们创造一个又一个的奇迹吧！
使世人团结起来帮助灾民。
