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.

tough times. rough times.

Thank God for his strength and guidance!
i have "survived" some tough weeks!
completed a tragic assignment and a sub-standard test.
i've done my best. so i leave the rest to God.

i'm sure he'll see me thru dis.
hope all of us wont have to repeat any mods and stay another sem...
i must say dis sem is really quite tough.
but thank god for alex, jasmine & co. who helped manage my expectations!
thanks guys! :)
bcos of dem, i knew roughly how tough dis sem was gonna be.

now that i'm almost three quarters towards the finishing line, it's time to soldier on.
jus piah till the end.
jus one more major assignment, and jus one presentation.
and this will conclude all my 17yrs of education.
wow. 17yrs. from kindergarten till uni.
scary isnt it?
in a blink of an eye. here i am. here we all are.

well dats jus life! full of surprises and roller coaster rides! =)
jus keep smiling everyone! and the whole world will smile right back at u!

my everything

you're all i want,
you're all i need,
you're everything. everything.

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.
