The Happenings

Been reading the news (as usual) again today, found a few very interesting article. Let's have a look:

Police detained a man accused of chopping off the head of a tenant in his apartment today and then parading with it in the streets of Bangladesh's capital shouting, "I've killed my wife," officials said.When he returned home today his wife was not there, and he burst into the room of the 22-year-old tenant, Tuli, and severed her head with a sharp kitchen knife, Islam said. He then paraded with the head on the streets outside, he said. More

How scary was that? And you thought this could only happen in movies like Scream. It's happening all right, and it's REAL. Which reminds us, don't share a house with strangers! When you do get housemates, check his/her background properly first! Preferably only share with someone you knew for quite a bit of time! Not only for safety sake, but sometimes it can be habits that can really piss you off! Life's too short to get into such troubles.

In Malaysia:

KOTA BARU: The National Fatwa Council has ruled that tomboyism, where a girl behaves or dresses in a boyish manner, is forbidden in Islam.

Its chairman Datuk Dr Abdul Shukor Husin said the decision was prompted by recent developments as there had been cases of young women inclined to behave like men and indulging in homosexuality. More

Sometimes I wonder whether Christians should really thank the Muslims for being daring enough to do something that Christians wouldn't have the guts to do. Here we are proclaiming we are worshiping the only one true God in the whole universe but we don't even have the guts to stand for what we believe in. We too often compromised with the pressure by the public or trying to be politically correct!

I'm not sure how exactly will the above rule would help curb the tomboyism or homosexuality matters but certainly it's about making a point that Islam rejects it totally. I'm not a scientist or expert in this field so I couldn't comment too technically on those issues. However, from my personal belief, I do believe those behavior can be due to the environment of them growing up, their own mental desire or even naturally inherited. Having said that, I do not accept that by something that seems naturally inherited, it may be considered as something that's the "truth" or right in the eyes of God. I believe strongly, by the power of God, it can be fix and return to normal. The mess of the world needs to and can be restored one day (perhaps 2nd coming?). But, what's our Christian brothers doing about it? Quite a few are still debating among themselves whether this is acceptable or not, debating whether homosexual clergies can be ordained, etc. We should learn from the Muslims!

In Australia:

THE Federal Government is preparing an emergency plan to cope with the possibility that ABC Learning, the nation's biggest chain of child care centres, collapses. Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard yesterday said the Government was "working through contingencies" and closely monitoring the situation relating to ABC Learning, whose 1100 Australian centres provide care to 100,000 children. More

Child care centres might be closing soon. Smells like trouble! Some might say, another of Shawnism's idea to propose child care centres will be gone in ashes, ha ha!

Will it really be so? Not if you are a follower of Shawnism (He he! :P).

I'd be asking for more people to take up courses in child care management, early child hood teaching, etc to equip ourselves now. Long term plans should be drafted out and we should be looking for those who are willing to commit in this field be it professionals or volunteers. Of course, as a church, we need to listen to God's calling on whether we should go ahead with such heavy commitments. Then again, I couldn't see why not. I'd only be asking "When is the time".

As said in the Art of War, opportunity exists in time of crisis (危机). 危 - danger 机 - opportunity. So what better time to think about it than now? I believe we as Chinese especially needs to improve our skills & strengths in this area as we have been so lacking behind others. Let's bring glory to God!
In England:

The Britons who built the first car to break the sound barrier are back with plans to shatter their own record in a jet-powered land-rocket they're betting will be the first car to top 1,000 mph.

Royal Air Force pilot Andy Green will make his run for the record strapped into the Bloodhound SSC, a 42-foot-long missile powered by a rocket bolted to a jet engine. With 45,000 pounds of thrust available at full throttle, Bloodhound will hit 1,050 mph in just 41 seconds and cross the salt faster than a speeding bullet. More

Seriously, is there anything men can't do these days? It's just a matter of time before the record is broken. The question then is, will men have enough basic wisdom to first seek God's kingdom before it's too late?

阅读新闻（一如往常）今天再次发现，一些非常有趣的文章。让我们看看：

警方拘留了一名男子被控削除负责租客在今天他的公寓，然 后游行与它在街上孟加拉国首都高喊： “我已经杀我的妻子， ”官员said.When他今天回国他的妻子是没有，他冲进房间的22岁的租客，图利，并断绝了与她的头急剧菜刀，伊斯兰教说。然后，他标榜的头部以外的 街道，他说。更多

如何可怕的是什么？你认为这只能发生在像呐喊电影。它发生的所有权利，它的真实。这提醒我们，不同意房子与陌生人！当你 真的合租，检查他/她的背景妥善第一！最好只与某人分享你知道的相当多的时间！不仅为安全起见，但有时它可以习惯，才能真正小便你了！生命太短，无法进入 等问题。

在马来西亚：

哥打讯：国家法特瓦安理会裁定， tomboyism ，其中一个女孩的行为或礼服在孩子气的方式，禁止在伊斯兰教。

其主席拿督阿都拉Shukor胡辛说，这个决定是由于最近的事态发展是有例年轻女性倾向于表现得象男人和沉迷于同性恋。更多

有时候，我想知道是否真的基督徒应该感谢穆斯林正在大胆足够做一些基督徒不会有胆量这样做。我们在这里宣布，我们崇拜的只有一个真正的上帝在整个宇宙中，但我们甚至没有胆量立场，我们相信我们也往往与压力的公共或试图在政治上是正确的！

我 不知道到底如何将上述规则将有助于遏制tomboyism或同性恋的问题，但肯定它是一个点，伊斯兰教完全拒绝。我不是一个科学家或专家在这一领域，所以 我不能发表评论技术上也对这些问题的。然而，从我个人的信仰，我相信这些行为可能是由于他们的环境成长，自己的心理愿望，甚至自然继承。话虽如此，我不接 受的东西，似乎自然继承，它可能被认为是这是“真相”或右的眼神中的上帝。我坚信，由上帝的力量，它可以修复并恢复正常。混乱的世界需要和能够恢复一天 （也许是第二次来了吗？ ） 。但是，什么是我们的基督教兄弟做什么呢？不少仍然在它们之间进行辩论，这是否接受与否，讨论是否同性恋clergys可祝，等我们要学习的穆斯林！

在澳大利亚：

联邦政府正准备一项紧急计划，以应付可能学习美国广播公司，全国最大的连锁幼儿中心，倒塌。副总理朱莉娅吉拉德昨天表示，政府“工作通过应急”和密切留意有关情况，有关美国学习，其1100年澳大利亚中心提供护理100000儿童。更多

幼儿中心可能会很快结束。气味一样麻烦！有些人可能会说，另一个Shawnism的想法提出幼儿中心将消失在灰烬，哈哈！

它会不会真的会这样吗？没有如果你是一个追随者Shawnism （他他！ ：对） 。

我 会要求更多的人拿起课程幼儿管理，幼儿教学罩等，作好现在。长期计划应起草和我们应该寻找那些谁愿意致力于在这一领域无论是专业人员或志愿者。当然，作为 一所教堂，我们需要倾听上帝的要求，我们是否应该继续这样沉重的承诺。再说，我不明白为什么不能。我只能问： “是什么时间” 。

至于说，在孙子兵法，机遇存在着危机时刻（危机） 。危-危险机-机会。那么更好的时间来考虑这个问题比现在？我相信，我们作为中国特别需要提高我们的技能和长处在这方面我们已经落后，使缺乏等等。让我们带来荣耀的上帝！
在英格兰：

英国人是谁打造了第一台汽车，以突破音障又回到计划打破自己的纪录，飞机供电土地火箭他们投注将是第一个汽车前1000公里。

英国皇家空军飞行员安迪绿色将使他的竞选纪录绑到警犬南南合作， 42英尺长的导弹采用螺栓火箭的喷气发动机。随着四点五○○万磅推力可在全油门，警犬将达到1050英里每小时只需41秒和跨盐速度比子弹。更多

严重的是，有什么男人不能做这些天？这只是一个时间问题的记录被打破了。接下来的问题是，将男人有足够的基本智慧，首先寻求上帝的王国之前，为时已晚？
