Thank you, God, for :
1) Bringing me through my exams
2) Being there
3) Blessing me with great friends
4) Helping me through the hurts
5) The scholarship! :)
6) A family, albeit an imperfect one.
Yup. This week was the first round of exams in jc. well. can't say the papers were great. but. i just trust everything to God to make things all right.
I haven't experienced much but i know one of the most painful things in life is caring too much for a person. And having the person not reciprocating hurts. so i'm sorry to people whom i've unintentionally hurt.
cuts like a knife. just a dream I will be watching over every beat of your heart pain cripples for awhile but God will always heal.yup. so i'll just wait till it goes away.I can be freeI can be free from this placeBeautiful HealerBeautiful GraceHelp me to see Everything fall into placeWake me from dreamingNo more deceivingBreak these chains oh scab it.

10 things not to do when you become a parent of a teenager
1) Exert your authority over your teenager by asking him/her to do stupid things like turn off their handphones by 11.
2) Get disturbingly angry when he/she does not follow the ridiculous rules that you set because the rules don't make sense.
3) Use profanities on your child.
4) Expect your child to do what you ask them to when you don't even do it yourself.
5) Treat him/her like he/she is 7.
6) Ask rhetorical questions and expect him/her to answer them.
7) Get mad when he/she refuses to answer your asinine question.
8) Confiscate his/her handphone then return it to them 2 hours later.
9) Scoff at his/her apology.
10) Expect him/her to be perfect.
IN SHORT. GIVE HIM/HER SOME SPACE.

Dear Sam,
Kindly start taking out your notes which you have painstakingly filed and, in vernacular,
START MUGGING. You have exactly one week, four days and a couple more hours before your EXAMS begin. I reiterate. START STUDYING/ hitting the books. For your H3's sake, please do.
With regards to other events that have been taking place, I implore you pay no heed to them for the time being.
Things aren't going to miraculously happen just because you constantly think about them. And at the same time, try not to look at your sister in complete disgust because she's listening to a song void of morals. And restrain yourself from starting a song war with her in the same room.
In addition, it would be wise of you to consider how you can further improve your financial situation. One way would be to not impulsively splurge money on
silly things like a notebook costing twenty-three dollars. Try also not to be tempted to purchase that
moonflower scent you spotted at Bodyshop today. Remember
1 Corinthians 10:13!
'No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.' Amen.
Last but not least, you should stop reading those bimbo books, unless you want to, I quote Mel, 'lower your IQ before your mid years'. That means no more books a la Bergdorf Blondes.
It would be greatly appreciated if you take the advice.
Love,
Self.
Rarr. ok. point taken. on a brighter note though, i HAVE started on math. so that's a good sign. :) nuts. i can't believe i lost SY's umbrella. argh. i am
SO sorry. how utterly careless of me. hm. i could've sworn i remember ben taking it. but then. i'm such a scatterbrain i can't even trust my own memory. Sorry!!!
Ok. Time to hit the books.

I woke up this morning.
And i realised I wouldn't be seeing
you soon.
There was this funny pang in my
heart.I was surprised and i couldn't figure out why.
Then i realised.
I'm going to miss you.It's
raining outside now.
Perfectly describes how I feel.
Guess you never know what you truly have until you start
missing it. Then you start thinking back on all the times you spent together. It's times like these when you just want to throw away everything else that caused the
confusion. When you realise all you want is that one. Or do you? Emotions are terribly puzzling things. Sigh.
Come back soon.I'm learning to breatheI'm learning to crawlI'm finding that you and you alone can break my fallI'm living again, awake and aliveI'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies-Switchfoot

we were all in love and we all got hurt.
HELLO EVERYONE! yes i am feeling a lot better now. feel safer now anyways. you know how it is when you feel safer around certain people? yup, i've found that group.
and i'm never letting them go.
argh. gotta start studying now. haven't been doing much of that. rarr. nuts. i'm so far behind maths i can't even see the back of it. well. time to get cracking.
whee....looking out of the window on long bus rides really get me thinking. love loooong bus rides. haha. well. today as i was cruising along nicoll highway in 196, was just thinking about the past few months and all that has been happening. i think God meant that time for both of Him and me. i admit we haven't been spending that much time together so it's time to go back to myself. He kinda told me that i need to refocus my life. there are so many things that are screaming out for my attention. BUT. he showed me the most important things in life. God, school, family and friends. lol. actually this post sounds really familiar because i blogged about this a little while back. hm. God must really be trying to tell me something. guess i was too dense and stubborn to listen.
i need to learn to let go. maybe i've been too selfish. i can't hold on things that aren't meant for me.
but sometimes it's just so hard.
RARR.
LORD LET YOUR WILL BE DONE.
Those Words are Not Enough - Reliant K
Feelings, inside my head
I don't know, but I'm thinking about you
Understand coz it's so hard to tell you,
cause you already know
You already know
When it's twice as hard to realize
That I'm still trying twice as hard to satisfy
myself on my own
And I'm still waiting for things to change
I lay my life before you, and I'm not getting up
Father, how I adore you
Those words are not enough
Feelings, inside my head
I don't know, but I'm thinking about you

Father, know I love you, and know I am wrong
Lord, please take my life

Make me your son

there was a girl who went through life and rarely went through unexpected things. then there was this boy. (well. she didn't notice him. until. she found out.) they sorta like each other now.BUT. she's so confused. because there's someone else. and she doesn't know how to choose now. she'll hate to hurt someone. especially him. not only that, this person appears to be taking her as a substitute. which hurts. a lot. she hopes that he'll continue to hang on. because she doesn't know what to do. and she's quite afraid to do anything.

Emerge just passed. it was
brilliant...Pastor Kong gave us a really good message. hm...kinda wish i was going to church again. it was
awesome because it's been so long since i really felt the presence of God, and it was much needed refreshing. i guess God wanted to tell me a lot. one of which was how i've been focusing on all the wrong things.
'Seek first his kingdom and all his righteousness shall be added unto you' - Matthew 6:33 i guess it's time to get my priorities right.That aside, emceeing for
Strings was quite fun. haha...yea, spent a lot of time goofing around with Vans, doing the script and all. yes, i'm gonna spell your name with an 's'. lol. city hall area is really
pretty at
night...must go there to take pictures sometime.
To the person i unknowingly hurt.
i'm sorry. i didn't know or trust you enough not to believe what other people said. so yea. if i've caused you to feel sad i'm sorry. this is quite silly actually, because you probably wouldn't know i'm addressing you. but. just in case you do...i'm sorry. i wasn't trying to play with your feelings or anything and well, i do miss you as a friend. it's been a long time since we've properly spoken.
urgh. so many things to sort out. God, please give me
wisdom to deal with this. how to choose? i dont' know.
'Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.' - Joshua 1: 9Amen.
