the end of 'for one more day'
i've finished reading "for one more day"
i love the story. i love the way its written.
and i'm glad i read it.
this is the first book that i've completed reading this fast.
now that i'm done with this book. it is now something to think about.
wonder what my next book shall be...

prayer on tree
carve a prayer on a tree, because trees spend all day looking up at God.
Mitch Albom's 'for one more day' has indeed made me blink back tears of nostalgia.
this third book of his that i'm reading hasnt failed me touch my heart and soul.
it helps keep me rooted in the belief of a mother's eternal love for her child.
it is so heart warming and wrenching as it speaks truth of how children even during the 60s treat their parents. esp their mums. it is evidently so up till today.
teenagers get embarrassed by their mums. at some point in time, we wished we never had parents or mums to nag at us. because we fail to understand their importance. as kids, we often stick to our parents as a source of comfort and familiarity..
as we move on to becoming teenagers, we seek to find our own identity, friends, boyfrens, groups. we crave for attention by outsiders and peers.
then we progress on to becoming late teens.. story of our lives...
as we age in our life cycle, inevitably, we gain increasing amounts of responsibility, pressure and stress. from both internally and externally. and of cos parents are always such nags. they always think they know whats best for you. but the truth is, they sometimes fail miserably at trying to be objective. that sucks. because it just frustrates us and makes us angry.
but like i said... story of our lives.
just make the most of it.
peace to you.

stars
i wish i could be lying on a field staring up into the midnight sky of stars and moon,
along with the soft, comforting dewy smell of the night,
to help me unwind and be at peace with myself and my surroundings.
if only the human mind could be a tad less complex.
being simple minded should not be something that today's society frowns upon.

i feel terribly messed up.
like a part of me is just seriously wrong.
it's not about wallowing in self-pity.
but it's more abt facing up to it.
i duno why i can never seem to get it right.
i need to be strong, i need to be positive.
but can i really?
i face my fears with uncertainty and paranoia.
i always seem upset or frustrated about smthg.
why have i become like this?
i feel so down. so negative. so low morale. so low everything.
i'm just so tired. perhaps not to the brink of giving up on life but jus generally tired.
i duno wads right anymore.
i dun want to care wad others think or judgements others have to pass.
i'm jus gonna be who i am right now.
everyone's gotta be selfish sometimes. maybe. i duno.
i'm sorry to have hurt people in the process of my self-discovery.
i'm sorry all these have to happen.
i jus need to learn.
i'm sorry i have to be so selfish.
you know this isnt easy for me.
i'm sorry but i just have to go thru this. alone. perhaps. i duno.
den again. wad do i know..?
i'm sorry i screwed up.
i'm sorry to mess things up.

exam blues
i'm feeling it.
the sort of down cast feeling.
yucks. i dont like it.
it's always like that in the face of uncertainty.
possibly a lack of confidence?
or perhaps just worn out from the brain power absorbing all the information.
tmr's the 1st.
4 days and soon it will all be over.

Are You An Optimist or Pessimist?
| You Are an Optimist |
 You definitely see the sunny side of life, even when things aren't going so great. And while you may not be a realist, your optimism has really improved your quality of life. You have the energy to take charge, solve your problems, and enjoy life for what it is. Optimists are happier and healthier - so keep thinking positive! |
How Bitchy Are You?
| You Are 19% Bitchy |
 You are practically an angel - both on the inside and outside. You try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and you're even tolerant of bitchiness in others! |
How Hot Are Your Kisses?
| Your Kisses Are Medium-Hot |
 Your kisses are definitely sexy, but you're not about to make anyone gasp for air. You take it slow and steady... and you ramp things up when you get the right signals. Your kissing style is adaptable and adept. And people who kiss you love it! |
How Girly Are You
| You Are 84% Girly |
 When the term "girly girl" was invented, they were thinking of someone like you. You're a feminine and sweet and very high maintenance. But you're worth it! |

today's homily
today's novena homily was interesting...
a tale told by a senior member of the church..
this statement caught my attention as it was repeated several times during the homily.
"The evil you do remains with you. The good you do comes back to you."
i find this statement very true. but ironically, things dont always go the way we want it to.
i guess the best is to stay focused and do the right things.
the best is to think, 'what would Jesus do if he were u' sorta scenario. den dat way things may not be so fully complicated!
draw strength from God. i guess only he can provide you with answers.
i think i hvnt been fervent enough in my prayers.
i need to find my way back to God and draw strength from him.
i need divine guidance and assistance.
i need to find my positivity.
what i need i dun tink i can find in human strength.
i think i need some internal healing of mind and soul.
its a wonder how i can be caught up in the whole hustle and bustle of uni life and its jus passing me by every fleeting moment.
i'm in this pt of my life tt i'm worrying abt the transition.
mayb tt's bcos i got too much free time? some may like to think tt way.
but i tink thinking helps me grow. it helps shape my mentality and ideas.
nthg is perfect. no idea is perfect. i need to figure out wads best for myself.
and i need pple to just be supportive and happy for me.
jus for a change...
i tink my life needs a change. and i can sense tt change coming soon.
april is already coming to an end.
once exams come are over, dere'll still be lots to do.
i need to start planning. i need to think.
i need to be more resourceful.
i need to be independent.
i shall remember wad i need to do and get it done.
thinking back on words of positive support and encouragement esp during poly days jus brings back so much memories.
memories of days we used to mug for stats, econs and accounting.
it was a nightmare, those subjects.
but those were some awesome times.
all those nites staying late in tp comp labs, pia-ing our projects. getting the sweetest surprises. jus seeing everyone working jus as hard as you jus helps matters. makes u wanna work harder and jus press on towards everyone's common objective - to do well.
those days of close frenships, bitching sessions and slacking.
i miss dem all.
i miss tp days. i miss the things we went thru as a cohort.
i miss seeing those familiar faces. i miss the lecturers who used to make fun of me. i miss the closeness we had wif our lecturers. i miss consultation sessions. i miss running up to the 5th floor to book them. i miss our project meetings outside the LTs.. i miss combined lecturers held in LT19.
i miss how hospi pple will make fun of grace and i.. the cuzzies.. haha.
bcos my cuzy was so popular, everyone knew i was grace's cuzy.. therefore the correlation. haha. hw cute. i remember looking forward to see grace in combined lectures. and always wondered hw it wud be like working with grace on a common project. hee. sadly, nvr got the chance.
lunches at saffron, supporting our hospi frens.. BESE lessons.. HTM was always the talk of biz sch.. haha. until dis OTHER course came along........ *ahem* =X
i always wonder hw everyone is doing.
despite bitching and politics, i still do miss everyone.
life was gd back in those days. a very fruitful 3 year journey that i'll always and forever hold very dear to my heart =)
special thanks to every single one who have been a part of that journey with me. it was indeed fate tt we became coursemates/cohort mates.
guess it didnt quite occur to us back then. but better late then never huh? =P
take care all.

for one more day
i'm feeling happy and at the same time, a sense of comfort.
i've finally gotten the story book i've wanted ever since october last yr...
the book that i searched high and low for, from Singapore to San Fran and New York and yet cudnt find the paperback version. all i had my hands on was the hard cover.
i still remember the feeling...
i wanted so bad to have the book.
i wanted so much to own it.
yet something told me to be patient and wait.
the paperback version has finally arrived and now i have it.
i'm so contented.
cant wait for exams to be over to read the book.
another 8 days.
i shall be patient.
*thank you...*
