Student vs. Teacher... A who's who bottomline point

As I take a time again to browse over my Facebook timeline, I was able to see this overly nice reading, and again I am sharing this to all:


Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD all powerful ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?


(Student was silent.)


Professor : You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does satan come from ?
Student : From … GOD …
Professor : That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?


(Student did not answer.)


Professor : Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible 
things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who created them ?


(Student had no answer.)


Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe  the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor : Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor : Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn’t.


(The lecture theatre became very quiet with this turn of events.)


Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.


(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)


Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor : So what is the point you are making, young man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor : If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?


(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)


Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?


(The class was in uproar.)


Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?


(The class broke out into laughter. )


Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?


(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)


Professor : I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir … Exactly! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.




P.S.
I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?
Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.
By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.

Qi Mantra Remedial Spa (Review)

Last February 14, 2012, I and my friend planned to go on a massage as a Valentine treat for ourselves. A week before this date, we have planned to go a holiday massage treat at Indonesia. We've checked online on where we can have a cheaper massage in Indonesia. We've been choosing between massage spa in Batam and Bintan, Indonesia then. Massage spa on Indonesia is indeed very cheap as I have tried to have massage last September 2011 in Batam, Indonesia. Much as we wanted to go Indonesia for massage, the plan was not pursued due to time contraints in online booking.

We just checked the web for a nice yet cheaper massage spa here in Sinagpore just to keep our plan of having a massage treat on Valentine's pursued.

We were able to get a booking at Qi Mantra Remedial Spa (Located at #B2-24 Raffles City shopping Center). I was really seeing this spa center everytime I had my work there to my work. I even checked the place and bring along with me a brochure that in any case I coukd consider their spa to have a massage. Much as we wanted to relax, we go there for the massage we've been craving for. It was not that cheap as we are looking for but the price we pay is much worth spending for the service we had. The cost for the massage treatment we choose ("Breezy Bliss") is already S$78 plus the oil that they will use cost S$8/shot (Total of S$86) for the 1hour session of massage. "Breezy Bliss" massage is more of the relaxation/soothing massage.

But if you wanted that a bit pressurized massage for your super-duper tired body, then you can have the "Star Blast" massage on the same price that we pay. The more exciting part is that you can have their so-called "Quickie" massage fir your neck and shoulders or even your back for just S$38 for 30minutes. Budget-friendly yet still getting the relaxation you've wanted.

The best part of the massage we really like is the slight facial massage they do targeting the cheek bones, the bones on the side of my eyes and the bones in between my eyebrows using just the massager's two index finger and giving a slight to deep pressure, oh that one is so nice!

Have a nice day everyone.

Nails in the Fence ( Author unknown )

I just read this article via Facebook as I go over my timeline. Let me share this to you guys as I believe that it surely help you.




This is an inspirational story about a little girl who had trouble controlling her temper, but she not only learned how to control it, she also learned the meaning of friendship and how, sometimes, the things we say can actually hurt the people we love.


There once was a little girl who could not control her bad temper. So, her mother gave her a bag of nails and told her that every time she lost her temper, she must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.


The first day the girl had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as she learned to control her anger, the number of nails she hammered daily gradually dwindled down. She discovered it was easier to hold her temper than to drive those nails into the fence.


Finally the day came when the girl didn't lose her temper at all. She told her mother about this and her mother suggested that now she pull out one nail for each day that she was able to hold her temper. The days passed and the young girl was finally able to tell her mother that all the nails were gone. The mother then took her daughter by the hand and led her to the fence.


She said, "You have done well, my daughter, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one." You can stick a knife into a person and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say "I'm sorry," the wound is still there. A verbal wound can be as bad as a physical one.


Your friends are rare jewels indeed. They will make you smile and laugh, and encourage you to succeed or dissuade you from doing wrong. They lend an ear, they share words of praise and they always want to open their hearts. So, cherish your friends, and beware of moments when anger or the wrong choice of words may cut deeper than a knife.


Have a nice day everyone!
Thanks for the time to read. :)

What's good with Singapore?

Been thinking for so many months what to share in this blog but then ideas were so rare and I can't even stand the fact that I'm falling asleep just to think what to blog. It just made me to my realization that since I'm here in Singapore for work and for leisure as well, why don't I share some things about this place I'm in... 


For those who haven't been here, the following are the things I find amazing here in Singapore: 
1. The use of EZ-link card for transportations and some purchases - Yes, that's right. Singapore is one of the countries who've successfully implemented the use of electronic cards for the major transporations here (MRTs and buses). Unlike other countries who use cash for paying transportations, well Singapore is not, it is very rare for people to bring cash just to pay the fare though buses here still accept cash payment for fare but it is very inconvenient for the passenger's side for these bus-payment machine accepts only coins. These EZ-links are re-loadable wherein owner of the card can add value to their card for the continued use of the card. Some establishment like McDonalds here accepts payment through this EZ-link card just by swiping the card to the establishment card reader. This EZ-link card is indeed just like a electronic wallet that an individual can use for most transactions here. Just make sure it has enough balance and you're on-go, no need to worry to bring so much cash for fare payment and save time from taking out/in of your wallets from time to time. 


2. Organized exiting/riding on the MRTs - Singapore practices courtesy when it comes to MRT etiquettes wherein they allow first the exiting passengers to come out of the train before others can go and ride the train. 


3. Reserve seats as an act of kindness for those who needs the seat most - Yes, they implement such reserve seating policy for pregnant, injured individuals, individual carrying a child and the elderlies here in Singapore. Each row of seat in the train has two reserve seats which are commonly located at both ends of the rows and mostly just near the train doors. Very convenient enough for those seat-needy person to access those reserved seats. 


4. Escalator etiquettes - Yes you've read it right. There is certain 'escalator etiquettes here in Singapore wherein all individuals shall stay in the left side of the escalator otherwise you're in a hurry that you can use the right side of the escalator. If in case of rush hour, mostly it's allowable for all individual to stay in both sides of the esacalator since everybody is in a hurry by then. 


5. 'Auntie' and 'Uncle' - Elderlies here in Singapore are commonly called as 'Auntie' and 'Uncle' even though they're not related to us/to them but basically a sign of respect.
