2nd reading - 25th sunday ordinary time

"Whereever you find jealousy and ambition,you find disharmony,
and wicked things of every kind being done; whereas the
wisdom that comes down from above is essentially something pure;
it also makes for peace, and is kindly and considerate;
it is full of compassion and shows itself by doing good; nor is there any trace of partility or hypocrisy in it.
Peacemakers, when they work for peace, sow the seedswhich will bear fruit in holiness.

Where do these wars and battles between yourselves first start? Isn't it precisely in the desires fighting inside your ownselves? You want something and you haven't got it; so you are prepared to kill. You have an ambition that you cannot satisfy; so you fight to get your way by force. Why you don't have what you want is because you don't pray for it; when you do pray and don't get it, it is because you have not prayed properly, you have prayed for something to indulge your own desires."

i think this passage makes a lot of sense and definately applies to many of us today. friends reading this, i hope you guys will read it and make some light of it because we really need to understand the meaning of contentment. besides the main practicalities of life, isnt dere so much more to be happy and thankful for? why do we always want better things? whatever happened to the simplicities in life? shudnt we crave for love, peace, joy and hope?
as globalisation continually takes place, i feel our sense of belonging is drifting further and further away from us. that scares me because if that is true, how are we to identify what is truly impt to us anymore?
learn to appreciate everyone and everything ard you, because we shudnt wait till we lose them; the feeling of loss is far too intense.

EG Essay

"Whereever there is a great poverty, there is great inequality.
For one very rich man, there must be at least five hundred poor,
and the affluence of the few supposes the indigence of the many."
Adam Smith

serangoon with mich chia & jason

pix below were taken on 040906 at serangoon gardens.
met up wif mich chia and jason for dnr at Chomps, followed by ice cream at ice3.
well as u can tell after scrolling down, i didnt take any pix of the food we ate at Chomps simply bcos i was too hungry to remember to do so.
all i cud see was the spread in front of my face so i jus has to dig in without much thot! haha =X
anyway that evening, we had mutton soup, hokkien mee, chicken porridge, chocolate tau hueh and sugar cane.
after that ice cream at ice3.
below are pix at ice3.






this is mr jason giving me the "what the hell is she doing" look


























mich's apple crumble with apple cinnamon ice cream - SIMPLY AWESOME

























US!






















mich digging in - i like dis shot of her! hee



























jason annoying her















he says the reason for his good looks is written on his tshirt.

*rolls eyes*

packing goodie bags!

as everyone would/should know... it is the 1 week holiday for pri & sec sch kids.
and as some of u might have seen/heard the Kids Central advertisement abt the event going on at the Indoor Stadium... so yup, thanks to my classmate Jasmine, she roped a few of us in to work - pack goodie bags. 5000 of dem to be exact. haha.
my ass and back nvr hurt so much man. it is no joke to be sitting on concrete floor for 9hrs. woohoo! the pain is soooooo highhhhhhhhh....
great experience! :)
thanks babe!
yup so below are some pix of the place where we were...








































































petrol calculations

EUREKA~!
i made an interesting discovery just a minute ago from my daddy!
for the past 14mths of my driving, little did i know how a petrol tank functions...
but now! haa! i feel empowered by this knowledge that my dad has jus shared with me! =)

well here is hw it works.
my car has a total capacity of 42litres.
it has already travelled 450km.
the mileage return i got was 13.085km/l.
meaning that for every 1litre of petrol, my car can travel an average of 13km.
dad pumped in 34.39litres of petrol.
which means that the car actually has a remainder of approx. (42-34.39) = 7.61litres

heh. so much for being paranoid that i wont have enough petrol left to travel home from sch jus nw... gee..! -__-
nvm we learn new things everyday dun we? ;)

the following pix were taken by the trainie photographer of the day: Mr. Yeap C. P.

i think.. thought...

everyone knows that making choices/decisions in life are nvr easy.
hmm.. i wonder if anyone can differentiate a need from a want.
i dont think i can!
haha

let's see,
this much i have figured out...
i think i need someone who's sensitive enough to see my needs.
i think i need someone who can read my intentions.
i think i need someone who can listen to me and my thots.
i think i need someone who is non-judgemental.
i think i need someone who understands me.
i think i need someone who loves me for who i am.
i think i need a "no matter what" kind of love.
i think i need to be able to trust in my love.
i think i need someone who can see me better then i see myself.
i think my mind's messed up.
i wonder if there is truly someone who can help me figure myself out; someone who wont judge me or pretend to know me;
someone who will listen unconditionally with no ill intentions.

i'm going crazy trying to understand my own thinking process!


friends, i just want to say this to you. each and everyone of you.
i'm truly sorry if i have taken any one of you for granted.
pls know that it was nvr in my intention to hurt or upset you in any way at all.
i hope that by now u know i love each and everyone of you. thank you all for all the wonderful memories we've all shared.
u are in my life for a reason and u have touched my life in a way only i know.
thank you for being patient with me despite my shortcomings. i know i can be a difficult person to live with but trust me i am learning constantly. bad habits are hard to die isnt it? hmmm.. nvr the less, i'm working on it! :)
God bless u.

time to work hard! tests and exams are coming. all lined up for the remaining 2 mths ahead!
hang in there everyone! =)
anybody wanna study together? let me noe!
