this date marks the end of the year 2007.
havent had enough time to really reflect and recollect the year's happenings.
so fast time has come and gone. this year has come and is about to go.
so many things are abt to change. after all, change is the only constant thing in this world.
it is important to take time off to pause/stop in our busy tracks and learn to appreciate the people and things around us. because u will never know if it just slips you by or you might just lose it one day, without you knowing - when you least expected it.
here's a quick shout-out to all the people in my life, you know who you are:
Thank you, each and everyone one of you, for being in my life.
For the chance to know, grow and learn alongside you.
I appreciate every friendship i have and all that you have done for and with me.
I'm very sure we all share both happy and sad, good and bad memories.
Time is passing us by, yet we still stick by each other.
We each have vastly different; heavy/important committments and responsibilities, yet the most important thing is effort. It is what keeps and will continue to keep our friendships going.
I would like to wish one and all, a very HAPPY NEW YEAR of 2008!
Let's all go through the path of life together, you know you are never alone.
All the best in your endeavours! stay strong and positive! and pls pls pls take good care of your health! It is something money cannot buy.
I love you all.
:)
peace.

christmas greetings
it's finally Christmas 2007!
time to gather with friends and family to enjoy this special occasion - to commemorate the birth of our Lord.
Christmas is a time to share love and make peace, be with the people you love and just enjoy the moment. else u'd have to wait another 12 months before the next comes again. however, till then, God knows if he'll take u away first isn't it?
that means that Christmas will be celebrated elsewhere. might not be as enjoyable, i think.
anyhow, no point thinking so much for now.
just simply enjoy the moment. enjoy what we have and share now.
live for the present! let tomorrow worry for itself.
Merry Christmas everyone!
I wish for world peace and for everyone to be happy.
Peace be with you.

joke: religious nuts
There were four country churches in a small Texas town: The Presbyterian Church, the Baptist Church, the Methodist Church and the Catholic Church. Each church was overrun with pesky squirrels.
One day, the Presbyterian Church called a meeting to decide what to do about the squirrels. After much prayer and consideration they determined that the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will.
In the Baptist Church the squirrels had taken up habitation in the baptistery. The deacons met and decided to put a cover on the baptistery and drown the squirrels in it. The squirrels escaped somehow and there were twice as many there the next week.
The Methodist Church got together and decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creation. So, they humanely trapped the Squirrels and set them free a few miles outside of town. Three days later, the squirrels were back.
But -- The Catholic Church came up with the best and most effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter.

don't sweat the small stuff
things don't always go your way,
so learn to manage.
no point fussing,
cos u cant do anything abt it.
get over it,
and stop acting pathetic.
there cant always be pple ard to remind u on what to do,
or help u.
be strong and stay focused.
keep a calm and clear mind and do what u need to do.

live well, laugh often, & love with all your heart
just thought i'd share with you an email my Godpa sent me,
reading it stirred some feelings in me,
such as the Cambodian children and families,
they are facing POVERTY, not just mere poorness.
here we are in Singapore, with hardly any worries, no natural disasters,
yet those in our neighbouring countries are stricken with so many plagues and diseases,
yet here we are, thinking about buying each other Christmas presents,
going shopping in the mall, what to eat, what to wear, getting fussy over this and that,
complaining and whining abt our "sad" and "pathetic" and "full-of-worries" lives,
really, don't we understand what contentment is? or are we just too complacent? or are we too proud to admit we fall within this 'materialistic' category?
the email goes like this: -
I AM THANKFUL:
FOR THE WIFE WHO SAYS IT'S HOT DOGS TONIGHT,
BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WITH ME,
AND NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
FOR THE HUSBAND WHO IS ON THE SOFA BEING A COUCH POTATO,
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME
AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.
FOR THE TEENAGER WHO IS COMPLAINING ABOUT DOING DISHES
BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME,
NOT ON THE STREETS.
FOR THE TAXES I PAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM EMPLOYED.
FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.
FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO SNUG
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.
FOR MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME WORK
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM OUT IN THE SUNSHINE.
FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING, WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING, AND GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME .
FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT
BECAUSE IT MEANS WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
FOR THE PARKING SPOT I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING
AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION .
FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM WARM.
FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH WHO SINGS OFF KEY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I CAN HEAR.
FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.
FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES AT THE END OF THE DAY
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.
FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM ALIVE.
AND FINALLY, FOR TOO MUCH E-MAIL
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE THINKING OF ME.
SEND THIS TO SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT. I JUST DID.
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. I Thessalonians 5:18
there is a reason why people celebrate thanksgiving.
it is to thank God for everything and everything He has been providing us right from centuries ago till now.
who are we to complain abt a lack of anything?
whatever happened to acts of charity?
imagine what we could do with all the unnecessary shopping money,
the money spent on excessive eating and eating at restaurants?
of cos it's easy to say: "i need to spoil myself after a long day." or "i worked so hard, so i deserve to enjoy." don't we all fall prey to statements like these?
every year end is the most emotional for me, this is when i start recollecting events that came and went, and what the next year would hold. time to start planning my life ahead.
some pple adviced that i shudnt think too much or too far; others say 'ya, it's gd to plan ahead and know what ure doing.'
it's all abt being in control isn't it?
as we mature or grow older, we're suppose to be wiser. it is very much a cause and effect situation - such as decisions and environmental factors affecting our lives, mold our belives, mannerisms, thoughts and actions and the things we do.
in my own little world, i wished things were different. i wished we didn't have to be so pampered and bratty. i wished we cud learn more abt humility and perseverance.
we have everything and more here on this island. yet it is never enough.
things will never be good enough for us, isn't it?
according to what we're taught in schools, theories such as Maslow's hierarchy of needs...
we know that we are on a constant search for better things, to constantly improve our needs, wants and desires.
time for a reality check people.
1st things 1st, let's do some soul-searching this year end, and truly, be thankful for everything we have. God has been very kind to us. indeed, we are truly blest.
i hope u all realise that.

esp pertaining to career and just general perspectives on life.
exam results will be released in 2 weeks. i cant deny i'm worried.
really don't know what to expect. and i hate that i don't know what to expect.
about my 1st job, i dont want to make a hasty decision.
neither do i want to feel pressured into anything.
friends ard me have been help to my thot process. thanks, everyone... much appreciated.
of cos, this statement is often heard: "ultimately, the decision lies with you. u hv to make the choice."
it gets tiring hearing that ever so often.
i need happier days. or maybe it's just me.
am i unhappy with myself or am i unhappy with things ard me?
or am i just generally unhappy?
gee. i cant quite tell. that sucks.
i don't wanna be anal and grumpy all the time. i hv enough pple ard me who r like that!

12 Nov 2007 - Luke
this is about forgiveness - a merciful gift from God.
If your brother comes back to you seven times a day and says, 'I am sorry', you must forgive him.
Jesus said to his disciples, 'Obstacles are sure to come, but alas for the one who provides them! It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a milestone put round his neck than that he should lead astray a single one of these little ones. Watch yourselves!
'If your brother does something wrong, reprove him and, if he is sorry, forgive him. And if he wrongs you seven times a day and seven times comes back to you and says, "I am sorry," you must forgive him.'
The apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith.' The Lord replied, 'Were your faith the size of a mustard seed you could say to this mulberry tree, "Be uprooted and planted in the sea," and it would obey you.'
to attain inner peace, the best way is to forgive. let go of the hurt and misery.
why keep harping on it? move on and try to make urself happy.
everything happens for a reason.
that's when good and effective communication plays a vital role.
dont ever expect to read each others' minds and nvr expect the other party to know wad ure thinking and feeling if u fail to communicate that across. bcos tt is the root of the problem. expectations and bad communication. the 2 big evils.
it takes alot to apologise. to admit a mistake.
it also takes alot to forgive and let it go.
but isnt that wad love is all about?
it takes 2 hands to clap in this situation, 1 is willing to say sorry. therefore, the other shud be willing to accept it graciously.
if God can be merciful towards us, why cant we be merciful towards the pple ard us?
so lets take a big leap of faith and embrace God's mercy and love.
Forgive someone today!

rapidly diminishing positivity
why does it always seem that someone else deserves:
more attention;
more love;
more sympathy;
more care and concern?
or that someone else is:
more poor thing;
more sad;
more tired;
more stressed;
more pressured;
more traumatised;
more upset?
or that someone else's story is:
more sad;
more unfortunate?
cant pple stop comparing for a change?
cant pple just be a little LESS self-centred?
cant there be smthg called mutual understanding; mutual encouragement or mutual motivation?
the world doesnt just revolve ard YOU.
all this negativity is annoying the crap out of me!
just pls snap out of it!

five loaves and two fishes
take my five loaves and two fishes,
do with it as you will,
i surrender...
take my fears, my inhibitions,
all my burdens,
my ambitions,
you can use it all,
to feed them all...
i hope it's not too small...
i often think about that boy,
when i'm feeling small,
and i worry that the work i do,
means nthg at all...
but every single tear i cry,
is a diamond in His hands,
and every door that slams in my face,
i will offer up in prayer,
so i'll give You every breath that i have,
Oh Lord, You can work miracles,
all You need is my Amen...
do with it as you will,
i surrender...
take my fears, my inhibitions,

bittersweet send-off
she left today just as she did before,
standing behind glass windows,
watching her as she got thru customs,
it was bittersweet,
all i cud do was wave.
a part of me knew she'd be back (most prob) Dec 2009,
that seems so near yet so far.
i got reminded of the day he left too - the familiar sights and surroundings of Terminal 1 wasnt the most pleasant. despite always looking forward to trips to the airport just to look at planes when i was little.
times have changed. pple come and go alot more now.
and it's time i learn to accept it and let go.
the pain cant always remain and haunt me.
i wish her well and i hope she has safely landed.
i know i'll miss my aunt very very much.

wedding @ Raffles
it was cousin Julian's wedding @ The Ballroom in Raffles Hotel - typical Chinese sit-down 8-course dinner.
it was good.
the wedding couple's "brothers" and "sisters" collectively put together a hilarious video clip - cartoon style of how the two got to know each other thru to marriage.
it's touching, in a cutesy, funny way, really.
nicely done! :)
food was yummy, cept tt dad was wondering how come the cocktail recep is so slack! haha.
they didnt provide any tidbits such as peanuts etc etc. jus drinks... i guess thats the norm these days la. peanuts will be so low class! haa.
perhaps some sandwiches or light snacks might work better.
then again, that concept might not work too well with the whole Chinese dinner.
took a few pix but they r in my aunt's and dad's camera... i didnt bring my own. half the time had to help others take pix instead! haha.
it's nice to finally see Julian get married and settle down... lucky fella is going to Japan and Hawaii for his honeymoon! how awesome!!!
marriage is such a blessed union isnt it? as a kid, attending weddings, my perspective back then was, so happy and envious of the bride cos of her nice puffy/flowy gown! the whole excitement of me dressing up too! haha. i'll hv nice dresses to wear too! =P
now is still pretty much the same mentality, just with some added thoughts...
such as "how if i cannot make it?" or "how if i'm left on the shelf!" hahaha...
but nvm. i believe God has a plan and purpose for me. so just simply trust Him. leave it all in God's hands.
the less u think, the less your worries! ;)
anyway now is one of my crappy periods again...
with exams ard the corner; SM being a pain, stuck at the back of my mind 24/7; my aunt leaving on tues early morn... these suck!
i really need to get thru the next 2 weeks. really.
God knows how worn out i am...
plssssss just let it all go fine...
it was good.
the wedding couple's "brothers" and "sisters" collectively put together a hilarious video clip - cartoon style of how the two got to know each other thru to marriage.
it's touching, in a cutesy, funny way, really.
nicely done! :)
food was yummy, cept tt dad was wondering how come the cocktail recep is so slack! haha.
they didnt provide any tidbits such as peanuts etc etc. jus drinks... i guess thats the norm these days la. peanuts will be so low class! haa.
perhaps some sandwiches or light snacks might work better.
then again, that concept might not work too well with the whole Chinese dinner.
took a few pix but they r in my aunt's and dad's camera... i didnt bring my own. half the time had to help others take pix instead! haha.

sudden thots
listening to Boston by Augustana made me have a sudden thot earlier this afternoon.
i wondered - how would it be like to work in New York?
i remembered what i said abt my NY trip last yr.
but holidaying and working are 2 very extremely different feelings/lifestyles.
tho the song is abt Boston and not NY.. but ya. jus a thot.
as i'm studying now... silence all ard me.
i feel quite lonely...
i suddenly wish i have a pet dog, who wud just silently keep me company...
sitting beside me, giving me support in its own way...
at least whn im stressed or upset, i can look at my doggy, carry it, talk to it and give it a hug.
im sure it wud be able to feel my emotions.
i can tell my doggy all my longings and feelings.
one day, some day, i really gotta stop my mind frm running wild.

i miss them
i miss my students so much.. it's been 3yrs ago tt Grace and I taught that bunch of them.
3yrs later, now, they are all in ITE, each doing a course they chose.
words cannot express how proud and happy of them I am.
Many Thanks to Grace for suggesting to go to Poverello to teach them, else I would have nvr met and known them.
Thank you Melvin and Jiehan for ur greetings. it's very much appreciated. it has been my pleasure =) all the best in ur future!
Immaculate Love
remembering God's love for us can be rather challenging most of the time.
we always question His will and plans for us.
we dont trust Him enough or at all sometimes.
why cant we jus let Him do His job?
is it really so difficult to surrender to Him?
the following is the responsorial psalm sang during evening mass at Holy Trinity tdy.
this song is very touching. it means so much and more!
jus listening and singing it can stir so much emotions and thots.
indeed, loving and forgiving is God.
jus trust Him. believe in Him. entrust urself into His care.
He will watch over your needs. if only u believe.
Loving and Forgiving are you, O Lord,
Slow to anger, Rich in Kindness,
Loving and Forgiving are you.
All my being, bless the Lord.
Bless the holy name of God.
All my being, bless the Lord,
Rememb'ring the goodness of God.
God forgives us all our sins.
Healing those who live in pain.
Saving us from final death.
God fills us with goodness and love.
Good and gracious is the Lord.
Slow to anger rich in love.
God remembers not our sins.
Forgiving and loving is God.
As heavens soars above the earth.
So great the love of God for us.
As far as east is from the west.
The Lord takes our sins from us.

a gentle nudge
the greater you are, the more you should behave humbly,
and then you will find favour with the Lord...
the heart of a sensible man will reflect on parables,
an attentive ear is the sage's dream.
"when you give a lunch or a dinner, do not ask your friends, brothers, relations or rich neighbours, for fear they repay your courtesy by inviting you in return. No; when you have a party, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; that they cannot pay you back means that you are fortunate, because repayment will be made to you when the virtuous rise again."
walk humbly...

so little time so much to do
the hell period has officially begun!
the title of this post speaks for itself.
there's jus seriously so much to do.
all the good movies have already opened/are opening all within this month!
gdness.
guess watching movies r my relaxant therapy for this period.
i've caught 881 and Secret so far...
and im so glad i did.
being busy is also another reason why my blog posts have been made up of pix mainly..
ok wait. im not quite sure if busy is the right word to use..
cos sch work is not the only thing happening in my life.
besides research on sch's intranet or libraries, im either in sch (classes/proj mtgs) or at hm slogging and trying hard nt to get a headache or shoulder ache..
haha i noe.. im quite problematic! =X
watching tv, coffee, lunch or jus meet ups wif frens can be quite therapeutic as well.
my life has been revolving ard such events.
but seriously... im lost for my strategic mgmt mod.
i dun even noe how to begin writing it.
and i've got 2weeks / 14 days to complete it.
with a test just 2 days after that submission.
i really cant wait to tide over the next 3 weeks. really.
my last submission, end of sept. hasnt officially been cast in stone (wif reference to the actual doing of the assignment)
and my fellow grp mates and i have already begun panicking.
not only is global mktg a heavy mod, it is also mind boggling with tonnes of theories to apply.
in recent days, Sini and I wondered why we didnt choose HR as a major... sigh.
after doing managing change and HRM, i really wonder why.
i tink i've quite fallen in love with the whole idea of HR.
as i quote Sini: "so many orgs these days dont manage their HR properly!"
indeed. she is right.
there are many that do it well and there are countless who dont.
but anyway, back to wad i was rattling on about...
so ya. global mktg. i have presentation to prepare for as well.
not forgetting my BKK trip mid sept.
oh. i hope my BKK trip serves as a good break for me esp since its abt a mth b4 my exams.
and i hope we ballot a gd date for GM presentation! *keeping my fingers crossed*
so tnt was R&R for me cos i just finished editing and compiling managing change.
wow. my 1st compilation of my final sem.
dis is scary.
my last sem.
gdness. hw time flies.
i can still remember writing down plans and time schedules and priorities for the yr 2007 jus last dec. and now it's 4mths to Christmas! gosh i cant wait!
and that also means 4mths till end of the yr 2007 as well.
i have mixed feelings abt that tho.
as usual a thousand and 1 plans running thru my mind for the new yr ahead.
priorities, priorities... responsibilities and more responsibilities.
oh well! hang in there guys! we're growing up! and boy is it gonna be one hell of a ride! ;)
ok everyone, we must stay positive here! =)
yup!
i caught the Jay Chou movie Secret this evening with Sandy and Ah Boon.
i thot the story is nice. very romantic and touching.
tho i didnt cry as much as i did for 881.. but ya. overall the story is touching :)
thumbs up for Jay Chou on his 1st directing attempt! haa.
the story is by him as well.
cool huh? multi talented Jay Chou!
i'll post pix tmr!
tmr im attending strat mgmt class in the morn den mtg my dear Jas for lunch!
we're gonna chk out Ms Clarity at Thomson! woohoo!

Affirmation by Savage Garden
the following lyrics was taken from http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/savagegarden/affirmation.html
i think this song completely rocks!
it hits the SPOT man.
so completely true.
pple, pls go youtube to listen to it at http://youtube.com/watch?v=QpvwxK7F2BI&mode=related&search=
I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self-esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

Singapore's National Day
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE! we're 42!
if my memory serves me correctly, i got my ndp tix the 1st time i attempted to ballot for it.
lucky me! :)
guess whose familiar face i got to see! my buddy keong! :)
so nice to see him la. poor him had to be mobilised so last min. guess they really needed all the uncle police men they cud get.
the seats i had were good. cept tt i cudnt quite c the planes & the 3D dynamic defense display properly...
got to the marina bay floating platform at ard 5pm. collected the goodie bags and went in search for seats. didnt get much of a choice bcos ushers wud tell u where to go n dere was police everywhere. their presence was quite intimidating.
overall it was a really cool concept. i applaud them for great effort and time spent into making this event so successful.
the fireworks were really beautiful.
at the end of the evening, the show ended ard 8.30pm.
by the time i walked back to city hall (raffles city) was ard 9.20pm.
it was one of the most traumatizing walks in my life.
the horde of pple was jus tooooo overwhelming man.
felt so sick and claustrophobic. gross man.
how ugly can singaporeans be sometimes man.
wads worst is they just got out of celebrating spore's bday.
so dumb. was so irritated man. all the pushing n shoving.
everything rolled into one was jus wrong.
however, somehow, it just wasnt ideal.
if my memory serves me correctly, i got my ndp tix the 1st time i attempted to ballot for it.
lucky me! :)
guess whose familiar face i got to see! my buddy keong! :)
so nice to see him la. poor him had to be mobilised so last min. guess they really needed all the uncle police men they cud get.
the seats i had were good. cept tt i cudnt quite c the planes & the 3D dynamic defense display properly...
got to the marina bay floating platform at ard 5pm. collected the goodie bags and went in search for seats. didnt get much of a choice bcos ushers wud tell u where to go n dere was police everywhere. their presence was quite intimidating.
overall it was a really cool concept. i applaud them for great effort and time spent into making this event so successful.
the fireworks were really beautiful.

Corrinne May Concert - 030807
it was purely random (by chance) that i casually asked Lucas on MSN if he wud be interested to catch Corrinne May's concert with me.
and he kidnly agreed =)
thanks buddy!
well.. guess we're both quite the music pple..
SUPPORT LOCAL TALENT! haha.
she's really really good.
i was tearing & sobbing half the time throughout the concert.
her music and lyrics are just wayyy too touching for me to handle.
every word has a special meaning.
i cant wait to get my hands on her newest album! Beautiful Seed!
guys, u have to get it.
it's really really good. really.
all these yrs, i feel that her music has touched me so much.
it gave me a new feeling.
it somehow made me more positive.
if i had the chance to get her cd that day and get her autograph, i swear i wud hv told her what a great impact her music has created in my life.
its sooo amazing.
she's like heaven-sent.
im so glad i made it to this concert.
i didnt manage to get the tix to her previous... so this is grt.
and esp since my entire friday was so crazy.
i tink i've nvr made and received more calls in one day!
sry Lucas u didnt get much of my attention... haha =P
so friday came and went,
saturday (040807) at 0840hrs i arrived at riverview hotel (spore) to meet George, to take 4 Greek pax on a half day city tour. from 9am to 1pm.
it was fruitful :) thank god for the good weather too.
small grps r so much better to deal wif den large ones.
2 pairs of honey moon couples. how sweet rite! :)
yup.. so George is a greek rep who is relatively young..
he has no idea hw to lead a tour, so lucky him, dis is small.
the last time, grp of 14, his mum was so pro la! haha.
he told me she was so scared! but she really didnt seem one bit at all.
she seemed so well-prepared! :)
job well done to both of dem! for first-timers!
his mum cudnt do dis tour bcos she was away on a holiday. so she got her son to do it instead.. cos Fanis needed someone who cud speak Greek.
indeed. i dun understand a word of wad they say!
haha. but i tink its sooo cool.
greeks! haa. whn i tink of greeks, i tink of spartans! hurhur..
so after tour-leading i headed home to prepare for reading at church.
tt went fine as well. altho i knew i'd fall aslp during homily.
gosh. so embarassing. imagine a lector falling aslp during mass! :(
sry God, i was really tired.
the past few days my neck and back has been aching like crap! its nt funny man.
and of all times, my jaw has to act up too.
i feel like i've been in a fight, whereby i hv injuries all over tt kind..
heh.
siansation mannnnn! but no choice la! it's part n parcel of growing up! =)
dere's nthg special to mention abt sunday, cept tt i slept in, did some reading of my case study and went to grandma's hse. accompanied the adults to chk out a potential new apartment for my grandma. den dnr wif parents, sis, big D, mini D and Alli at some HK tea house place along Katong (upper east coast rd).
its not so nice man. svc sucks big time. food was very normal.
nthg spectacular at all. prolly wont b gng back dere agn.
tdy is monday, didnt do much as well...
went to the bank, marketing wif mum, aunty agnes came to visit so we chatted, i continued reading my case study and watched tv (ch8) kinship!
finally elvin ng likes jessica liu la! haii.. sometimes guys can b so dumb huh?
must go thru so much trials n tribulations then only realise.
oh well, dis is jus a show la huh! so lets hv more faith in our spore guys..
b4 they all become gay! =X
den agn... like as if we spore girls r so easy to be with...
we're all so difficult and princessy. gross.
one min talk abt being miss independent, the next, we're bitching abt hw incompetent our bfs are.
how contradicting huh?
oh well. that's life! =)

Rihanna's Umbrella feat Chris Brown
when i 1st heard this song over the radio, i thot.. gdness wad an annoying song wif all the ella eh eh eh eh parts...
but the more u listen, it grows on u.
wad's more, u shud watch the video. rihanna is hot.
best part is to listen to the song/watch the video via youtube and read the lyrics i have below.
u'll come to realise this song is actually very meaningful.
noticed that the past few days have been raining? so dis song comes quite timely. haha. ok lame.
hope u guys appreciate it jus as much as i do.
(Uh huh, uh huh) Remix
(Uh huh, uh huh) Yea Rihanna, Chris Brown
(Uh huh, uh huh) Good girl gone bad
(Uh huh, uh huh) Take three... Action!
(Uh huh, uh huh) Ho!
No clouds in my storms
Let it rain, I hydroplane into fame (Eh, eh, eh)
Coming down with the Dow Jones
When the clouds come we gone
We roc-a-fella (Eh, eh, eh)
We fly higher than weather and G5's are better
You know me, an anticipation for precipitation
Stacks chips for the rainy day (Eh, eh, eh)
Jayy
Rain man is back with little miss sunshine
Rihanna where you at?
You had my heart
We'll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines but you'll still be my star
Baby 'cause in the dark you can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share because
When the sun shine we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'mma stick it out 'til the end
Now that it's raining more than ever know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella (ella ella eh eh eh eh eh-eh)
You're becoming a dream to me
Fairytale fantasy
Nothing can ever compare
An image to my memory
Girl I'm asking could you be my queen?
A vision on a magazine
That's when I'll be there
It's something we both share
Because
When the sun shine, we'll shine together
You know I'll be here forever
Although it's alot of rain outside
Girl it's getting late you can stay the night
But you can dip out anytime whenever
I can call a car I ain't tryna stress ya
I'm looking for the one with the glass slipper
Baby girl you can be my Cinderella (ella ella eh eh eh)
You can be my Cinderella (ella ella eh eh eh)
You can be my Cinderella (ella ella eh eh eh)
You can be my Cinderella (ella ella eh eh eh eh eh-eh)
You can run into my arms
It's okay don't be alarmed
Come into me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and say my name some more
I'll be all you need and more (ah.. you ready?)
Because
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath, I'mma stick it out 'til the end

I ain't tryna stress ya
I'm looking for the one with the glass slipper

guard your heart
had a long heart-to-heart talk wif cuzy John last nite..
he even prayed a prayer for me.
i was very touched i teared.
it was very heart-warming and sincere. so genuine.
thank u cuz for that chat. i really needed it.
u've always been my reality check. but we hvnt had such conversations in a really really long time.
at least 1 thing's for sure, we still hv that bond.
and i thank God for that.
thanks for listening and thanks for understanding.
on top of it all, thanks for not judging.
i do realise i hvnt been very Christ-like in recent yrs.. mayb the past 1 plus yr or so.
thats sad. very sad.
but now that i've noticed it. it's time to turn things ard.
a change of lifestyle perhaps.
i need a direction and i tink only God can help me.
i believe he will help me.
he's been my guiding light, my guiding star.
without him, i am nothing.
i like this phrase: "guard your heart"
it's true. if u dun guard ur own heart, who will?
u are accountable and responsible for urself at the end of the day.
never blame anyone or anything when smthg bad happens.
humility is a virtue. i sure hope i have some of that.
striving to be Christ-like isnt going to be easy. but nevertheless i must endeavour.
"my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"
this is wad im constantly being reminded of.
if Jesus can die for our sins so painfully and willingly, why cant we carry our little crosses?
why keep complaining and blaming God?
i need to learn to trust and put my whole faith in God once again.
i noe it is difficult but i must do it.
as my favourite hymn goes: "but it goes against the way i am, to put my human nature down, and let the spirit take control of all i do. but when those trials come, my human nature, shouts the things to do, and God's soft prompting can be easily ignored."
the whole entire song is just so beautiful and it describes exactly what i am, and how i think.
i shall be in search of the lyrics and post it once i get my hands on them.
im off to bed now it's gonna be quite a long week ahead!
i wonder wads in store! :)
projects that's for sure! haa.
time to catch up on studying too.
no time to lose!
goodnite! (",)
