I told my Christian friends about the movie Jesus Camp. And a bit to my surprise, they didn't care about that movie. So after I short moment I changed my subject to something else.
Maybe people simple got numb about all media franzy related to religion. Or that the friends I was with were too tired to think about controversial after a whole day of work. And I was glad that the email I tried to the group was bounced back because of certain rights. Otherwise I maybe crowd as freak anyway.

Silence is a power language
Yesterday was I was mad about someone. Not is a ferious way, but enough to keep me away from concentrating on the things I need to do. The person I mad at probably didn't know it, for I didn't say anything particular. In fact, that's what I do when I am mad that someone: I avoid talking to that person, no even an eye contact.
Now that I looked back (and man it was just 12 hours ago), it was pretty childish. I mean, such that person was pretty self-centered, constant saying unconsiderate things, and was already unpopular among the others anyway. But still, I was not happy about the fact that I didn't embrace the person the way how the Lord embrace other unplesant person.
And that reminded me something about last night. I was always find it irritating that with all the politeness I shown, like saying "hi", "morning" whenever I can, the *** always gives me silence treatment whenever she felt like it. Granted, she did the same to the others anyway, and she's not particularly a happy person from my observation, based on a lot of things that I found too personal to write them down here. And then, there's certain things called minimum politeness, and she didn't have it most of the time. She seemed hope that the world can evolve around her, and have things her way. And that others should adjust their lifes so that she can feel more comfortable. And the fact the she likes to slam the door of her room without saying a thing is just irrating.
Last night she shutted the door when I walked in my room. Since she shutted to door, I decided to open the door to let some fresh air flow. But while I was watching "Bill Mahar in Real Time" on my PC, I found that someone closed my door. Seems like it's her.
Well, maybe I should be thankful that she didn't slamed my door.
I know deep inside I am still mad at her. But then in most case I'll still try to be polite, make eye contact to her and say "Hello" and "Morning". But when she just laid on the couch without responding, that really ticks me.
How did Jesus find the power to love all we jackass?

Looking forward to the movie Jesus Camp for a different reason
My heart couldn't settle after watching to the trailer of the movie "Jesus Camp" http://www.apple.com/trailers/magnolia/jesuscamp/trailer/ . I also visited the movie's web site (http://www.jesuscampthemovie.com/ ) and read the interview at Christian Today web site ( http://www.christianitytoday.com/movies/interviews/jesuscamp.html ). If you think Davinci Code is a challenging movie for Christian, wait until you see Jesus Camp.
I haven't seen the movie itself yet, so I don't want to make too much judgement. However, the most ironic thing about this movie is that it didn't seen trying paint Christian black. The movie just document a radical summer camp with preachers preaching emotional message about taking a firm stand in today's society, and along the way cross over some Replication political agenda with religious faith. That, of course, was enough to start up fire in the liberal media.
This independent documentary probably won't stirr up as much controversy in Hong Kong than in US. Most teenagers in HK don't care much about HK politics at all, let alone understanding the difference between Democrat and Republican in United State. However, be prepared if someone ask you whether it is "too radical" and "brainwashing" to ask children to join the army of Christ, or take a clean cut distinction between their Christian and non-Christian friends. And most importantly: do you have a stand on issue like this? And where's the foundation of that stand point came from?
Looking forward to see the movie. It's just like you have to at least hear one teenage pop singer's song before comment on teenage pop singer.

My commute
There are times when I wake up ultra early, and thought of going to work right away just to get that feeling or productive as an early bird. Well I found out on Monday that it wasn't really paying off.
I left home at 7:45 am to go to the bus station, only to see a very long line. One fully crowd bus passed by, and then I got on the second one. It was 8:15 am by the time. I arrived at the office on 9:00 am sharp. Not too bad, but it's actually more "cost effective" if I arrive at bus station at 8:30 am, and then arrive office at sometime EARLY than 9:30 am.
I wonder, though, what happen if I at bus station on 7:15 am.
