Dangers Men Face #8: Antidote of Loss

After studied the nature and types of losses men will encounter, it is prudent to search and know the antidote. Ultimately, we place our future/path to God in every circumstance. Just as Paul regarded his achievements as useless and baseless, he placed his motivation in knowing Christ and experiencing the power of it. Yet he did not deny the importance of his achievements.

It is how we respond to circumstance that matter. We can indeed control our response. The antidote of loss is choosing to grow. Growth in character, choices and as a training ground.

Loss, is therefore God’s purpose for us – “harvest of righteousness”. He wants us to grow in the fruit of the spirit. He wants us to know that God is in control. He wants us to acknowledge our frailty and humanity. He wants us to choose to live in Him. Indeed, He will not forsake us.

Day 2: A visit to some of The Tokyo Toilet project

On the second day of my trip, I decided to visit some of the public toilets under The Tokyo Toilet project. The idea was inspired by the film Perfect Days . Since the public toilets under this project are scattered around western side of Tokyo, I visited a few in Shibuya area, which are quite close to each other. One notable location is Yoyogi Park. One of the highlights of these designer toilets is the transparent toilet. Its transparent glass walls will turn opaque when the door is locked. This feature is based on the electrochromic effect. However, this feature is unavailable during late autumn and winter, which coincided my visit. The key takeaway from this visit: an eye opening experience about toilet culture and social inclusivity.

Japan trip 2024

Just returned from a solo trip to Japan end of last month. The trip coincided with a conference in Sendai. It was an 8-day trip, including 2 days of travel. Took a direct flight from KL to Tokyo on the afternoon of October 23rd (Wednesday), arriving that night. By the time I cleared immigration, it was almost midnight. Then took a train to downtown Shimbashi. Without detailed research on the location of my booked capsule hotel, I ended up walking in the wrong direction and almost being harassed by roadside pimps (lol). After getting free Wi-Fi at a convenience store, finally able to find the hotel. Once checked in, took a hot bath (it was an open bath). That was the end of the day.
