metronome at home
Things have still been the same. Gerak Gempur 2 is over, and I have..how many days to PMR? Never looked at the countdown board at school anyway.
Hmmm there is a question that I know that a lot of people have been wondering and pondering about:
Why did God allow evil in this world? Why would He let disasters happen if He was "good"?
I googled it and I found this opinion that might answer to your doubts.
"Why does God allow earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis, typhoons, cyclones, mudslides, and other natural disasters? Tragedies such as the 2004 tsunami in Asia, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the 2008 cyclone in Myanmar, and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti cause many people to question God’s goodness. It is distressing that natural disasters are often termed “acts of God” while no “credit” is given to God for years, decades, or even centuries of peaceful weather. God created the whole universe and the laws of nature (Genesis 1:1). Most natural disasters are a result of these laws at work. Hurricanes, typhoons, and tornados are the results of divergent weather patterns colliding. Earthquakes are the result of the earth’s plate structure shifting. A tsunami is caused by an underwater earthquake.
The Bible proclaims that Jesus Christ holds all of nature together (Colossians 1:16-17). Could God prevent natural disasters? Absolutely! Does God sometimes influence the weather? Yes, as we see in Deuteronomy 11:17 and James 5:17. Numbers 16:30-34 shows us that God sometimes causes natural disasters as a judgment against sin. The book of Revelation describes many events which could definitely be described as natural disasters (Revelation chapters 6, 8, and 16). Is every natural disaster a punishment from God? Absolutely not.
In much the same way that God allows evil people to commit evil acts, God allows the earth to reflect the consequences sin has had on creation. Romans 8:19-21 tells us, “The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.” The fall of humanity into sin had effects on everything, including the world we inhabit. Everything in creation is subject to “frustration” and “decay.” Sin is the ultimate cause of natural disasters just as it is the cause of death, disease, and suffering.
We can understand why natural disasters occur. What we do not understand is why God allows them to occur. Why did God allow the tsunami to kill over 225,000 people in Asia? Why did God allow Hurricane Katrina to destroy the homes of thousands of people? For one thing, such events shake our confidence in this life and force us to think about eternity. Churches are usually filled after disasters as people realize how tenuous their lives really are and how life can be taken away in an instant. What we do know is this: God is good! Many amazing miracles occurred during the course of natural disasters that prevented even greater loss of life. Natural disasters cause millions of people to reevaluate their priorities in life. Hundreds of millions of dollars in aid is sent to help the people who are suffering. Christian ministries have the opportunity to help, minister, counsel, pray, and lead people to saving faith in Christ! God can, and does, bring great good out of terrible tragedies (Romans 8:28)."

I do not think I am spiritually mature enough to answer this question truthfully and rightfully, but I do have an opinion.
I think God created this world to be perfect in the first place, and He created Adam and Eve pure. But men chose to sin when Adam and Eve succumbed to temptation and ate that fruit when God said no. I think sin is what brought all these evil doings on earth. The punishment of sin is death but God gave us another chance and sent His son Jesus to die for our sins and to take our punishment, He gave us that free ticket to Heaven to be with Him if we chose to follow Him.
Sometimes, suffering might not be a bad thing. See how Nick Vujicic lost his arms and legs. But that was how he got to know more about God and see how good He is. When you experience the unfailing love and grace of God, and put your focus on God, all the suffering and pain will appear strangely dim.
I like how Uncle Yap said something "When we are in pain and sickness, that is when we lie on the bed and look up to God" So sometimes it is pain that allows us to see how good God is.
I cannot say I understand God. No one fully understands God. The love that we experience of Him is only a tiny fraction of the whole quarter of His love.
This is truly something worth to ponder upon.
The sun is there during day light to dry your clothes.
The moon is there at night to provide just sufficient light so that it's not totally dark.
The banana turns yellow indicating it is ripe.
The banana is shaped in a way that fits perfectly into your mouth.
Some plants have perfect symmetry.
The air you're breathing is free-of-charge.
Your body wounds can heal (just not as fast as that girl in the MOVIE Heroes)
And some more amazing facts of that body you have that God created:
1. The stomach’s digestive acids are strong enough to dissolve zinc. Fortunately for us, the cells in the stomach lining renew so quickly that the acids don’t have time to dissolve it.
2. The lungs contain over 300,000 million capillaries (tiny blood vessels). If they were laid end to end, they would stretch 2400km (1500 miles).
3. A mans testicles manufacture 10 million new sperm cells each day – enough that he could repopulate the entire planet in only 6 months! (uhhhh God, I think this is more than enough xD)
4. Human bone is as strong as granite in supporting weight. A block of bone the size of a matchbox can support 9 tonnes – that is four times as much as concrete can support.
