My brother just came back from the US and he got himself this Spiderman suit from Universal Studios. I helped him took a few photos of himself in his new suit and new found alter ego. He keeps going around say the line "Who am I? I'm Spiderman." Which is kinda weird but hey it my brother we're talking about.

On another note it reading and more reading for FYP. I'm doing something on robotics. My sup was me to get the robot to play some musical instrument. Oh boy... And the readings are like so complicated. I'm reading something then searchin for meanings to terms which I never came across in my entire academic term. Then after I've sought out the meanings of those words in other papers; I have a new set of terms or concepts I need to read up on. And the problem is recursive.
Oh well.. research.

Lately also started to read a book called "In the Name of Jesus" by Henri Nouwen. Its about leadership and it strange how sometimes you pray and ask God a certain question and God answers in an explicit way. Last Sat I got the Exco to have a time of solitude and prayer at East Coast during our retreat and I recognized a sense of irrelevance I am to the ministry and it people. Including the leaders whom I'm suppose to lead and minister. Yet I not only find myself inadequate (as is the buzzword these days) but more irrelevant. I'm not great minister, expositor or pastor to the council. I'm not even good at talking to people, encouraging them. I'm the least charismatic leader I know. Yet in this book's first few pages about Christian leadership, the author reminds us that Christ Himself seemed "irrelevant to the world". His answer to the desire for a new Jewish World Order, to the hungry and poor, the sick and the dying was his vunerability and death on the Cross.

I'm still trying to figure out what he means but somehow I gather that in the face of a world filled with secular leaders who are relevant to people in terms of the psychological therapy, counselling, medical aid and monetary aid they can give far greater than most Christian ministry or church can give in response to the mentally sick, the physically ill and the hungry all that we Christians have is our own irrlevance. The difference is the love as displayed by the Man on the Cross and the loving call that calls out to the weary and broken hearted to come unto Himself that He may give them rest.

Love. Vunerable and unconditional. Isnt that something.
