Ha ha ha…. I love this Doctor...

Q: Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true?

A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't waste them on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heart will not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the life of your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap.
Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?

A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.
Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?

A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!
Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?

A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc.
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?

A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! ..... Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?

A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach.
Q: Is chocolate bad for me?

A: Are you crazy? HELLO.. Cocoa beans ! Another vegetable!!! It's the best feel-good food around!
Q: Is swimming good for your figure?

A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me. (shd tell Coach Jos this... hahahah!)
Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?

A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.
And remember: 'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chocolate in one hand - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride' AND.....
For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.


1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
CONCLUSION
Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

DG tomorrow!.

Hi Everyone! Hope you enjoyed the DARE L1 outing today. :) Heard many good things about all of you. :) Going to share the second very impt thing on leadership now. :) Ready, get set, GO.......

Pro 22:1 - A good reputation (character) and respect are worth much more than silver and gold. (CEV)

The word 'reputation' there in the Hebrew means CHARACTER. Today we are going to talk about what Character means. :) Character is impt to all of us, because Character is built through trust: that you are a person of integrity and trustworthiness that you become unshakeable, unmoving and dependable. But to do that, let me show you something interesting.

If we want to know what Character is, then we have to know what the definition of 'Cool' is today.

A lot of youths and ppl in general will tell you that being 'Cool' means that you are untainted, unaffected, unmoved and undaunted by the circumstances and situations around you. This is good but not entirely good enough. Let me show you an even more powerful way: Not only are you NOT affected and undaunted, you are ABLE to cause a positive CHANGE to the environment. That is way COOL man! :) No point being unchanged and the situation around you doesn't change: that is not cool. That is called apathetic or 'bo chup'. But when you are able to cause a CHANGE, that is what I call POWER!

To be 'Cool' is basically the new lingo for what it means to have CHARACTER. When you have character, you are unafraid to step up, to make a stand, to speak a word, to do an action, in order to change the situation, circumstance or challenge before you. And that makes you powerful, a person who others look up to and respect and admire. And that is someone that we all want to be in life. Nobody likes to follow losers: nobody likes losers.

The first way to be a person of Character is as simple as this: that you start to honour everything that you say. That will mean being a man/woman of your word, that your 'Yes' is 'Yes', and your 'No' is 'No', that whatever you say is true, whatever that you agreed to do you will do it, and whatever things that you mentioned that you will fulfil it. That you will not lie.

The Jews never make promises. To them, if their every living word that they speak is not as good as a promise, then it is not good for ANYTHING. That is POWERFUL. Because when you can mean exactly what you say in ANY situation and fulfil it, it gives birth that confidence and certainty in you that even whatever you confess in His Word and in the Spirit, you are SO SURE that it will come to pass because you know the CHARACTER, the CERTAINTY and the POWER behind the word. :)

How can you be a person that people trust if you are not trustworthy and that you always tell lies, fail in keeping to your agreements or disappoint others? If whatever that comes out from your mouth is not backed up by your Character (hence you lie) that you will fulfil it, how can others trust you the next time? James 2:18 says clearly that action speaks louder than words. This means that your words are BACKED by you, that you will fulfil what you promised, do what you agreed on.

To lie is to say that 'Lord, Your Work on the Cross is not enough to protect me, and I have to protect myself. Therefore I need to tell lies so that ppl will not be angry with me, or that they will be disappointed in me.' People tell white lies all the time to protect themselves. But if you are always lying, how can you trust your own word the next time? You can't even trust yourself... And you are shakeable. If ppl find out that you are habitual liar, is that why they CANNOT trust you or that they DON'T like to be near you?

Is building Character hard? You bet. It will mean sometimes that we need to stand up and speak against our friends (because we love them) such as when they are stealing or smoking. Sometimes it will mean being there all the time for CCA even though everyone doesn't attend or think it is uncool. Sometimes it will mean standing up for a cause that you believe and not be shaken from your position. And sometimes its being good at your studies but everyone in school (who are losers and are really bad in their studies) call you a nerd or apple-polisher. Losers want the rest to become like they are. Remember that.

Romans 5:1-5 - we know that tribulations (challenges) works patience in us, and patience brings CHARACTER, and character hope. And hope never disappoints because of the Holy Spirit in us, loving us and ensuring that everrything is in place for us. :) That Character that develops in you will cause others to respect you. And when your Character is built up, you will not know it but other ppl around you will know.

Hence youths, in your every day situations, learn to be PEOPLE of your WORD, that your everyday life not a word is 'wasted' or 'worthless'. This is the start of your journey as a great leader in the Kingdom of God! Be blessed! :)

Leadership Principle #1.

Hi Everyone,

I'm using this opportunity to teach all of you something. I saw this posted by Joy in our blogsite: 'Aiyah, Cheerleader again.' Just need to address this. Thanks Joy for allowing me to have a teachable moment with all of you. :)

The morale of a group is a HEAVY responsibility. Because that will affect the mood of everyone, and how everyone can sustain their energy and concentration in the long run, for emergencies or for normal situations. The morale of the group will determine how well they perform as well. It is more than tactics, strategies, directions, visions: those are the train tracks, but the morale is the engine which gives it ENERGY. Otherwise you can have beautiful train tracks, but the train doesn't move. The DG needs that ENERGY to move and not stay still. Ever wonder why our DG is moving so fast? It is because we are all happy and energised. Imagine coming to DARE or DG but feeling that your DG is the most boring place of all. You still wanna come?

Leadership Principle #1: People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care. Sometimes we wonder why ppl don't want to follow us. Then I will ask you this question: have you in any way showed them that you care for them? There are so many ppl in our DG, thank God. :) But there are times when I ask each and everyone of you, what is this person's name, and you DON'T EVEN know. We have been DG mates for quite some time already! Half a year!

You want to lead better, you want ppl to follow you, then it's time that you showed that you CARE for the rest. Do you know their name? Do you even know their school? Their CCA? Their hobbies? Their fav subjects? Their likes? Their dislikes? Favourite TV show? Favourite topic to chat about? The challenges that they go through? To the level they are appreciated by you, that will be the level that they want to follow you. That is the basic principle of leadership.

The reason why we follow Jesus is that He knows us intimately. He made us, He counts the hair on our head. And there is no incident or accident in our lives that He did not go through or did not know how we feel. He in all things has gone through the same testings and challenges that we go through. And He delivered us, that's why we will always have the way out: IN HIM. :)

Extreme/EOC, you are personally loved by our Lord. Be filled with that Love and step out of yourselves and your comfort zones, and reach out to one another. :) I see our DGs being so full of His Love that we are supporting one another, helping one another, giving to one another until we are so individually rich! Spiritually, Intellectually, Emotionally, and Physically! :) We are in this together for eternity. Amen. :)

Julian

Aiyoh Joy....

Pincers lah. not pincles. Not tentacles leh.... :P

Please feel free to post anything, so long as you are not cursing or swearing at someone. You can definitely say how you feel about somebody or something, no problem with that. This blog is for this purpose, such that maybe if you are not able to talk about it openly YET, you can blog about it and let some of your frustrations out. We will still go back to the Word of God, to Prayer, and to Grace for that situation, for Jesus is truly our Answer if we really know. :) In time, all of you here will be leaders, DGLs, and some even Pastors or Deacons. Remember what I shared with you:

Rev 12:11: Blood of the Lamb, Word of our Testimony that overcomes the devil
1 Pet 5:9: Resisting steadfast in the Faith, knowing that the same afflictions are upon our brethren all around the world.

Just want you to know that whatever you are going through, you are NOT in it alone. Most youths think that they are a unique and special case, and that no one else will understand. That is not true, Extreme/EOC. You mean Jesus dunno? Jesus never went through? Your peers never went through? Your leaders never went through? We are NOT alone. It is when we feel alone or want to be left alone when the devil attacks. Wolves dare not attack the sheep if they gather together. The rams will protect the younger sheep. But what the wolves do is that go round and round, THREATENING to attack from every direction. The confused sheep that stray from the pack gets isolated and ALONE, and then the wolves will finish off that single sheep. That is the devil's tactic. Don't fall for it.

You're LOVED. Never put yourself alone. You have DARE, you have DAREGroup, you have Ps Benjamin, Coach Joscelin, ME, your DG mates with you ALL THE WAY. You're LOVED! :) And this is the place where you are LOVED Unconditionally, where you are not JUDGED on how you look (pretty or handsome), how rich you are, how talented you are or anything. You're LOVED. :)

Be blessed! In His Love,

Julian
