woohoo! two posts in one day. that can only mean something. i really have nothing much to do now. :) work here actually isn't that bad i guess.
so anyways. i shall proceed to try out some alliterations.
fanciful flowers for fountains
crummy crackers
paper promises made of posies (?!)
addling adders acting
drunken dogs go dancing.
forever four - F4(ew)
she sells seashells on the seashore
jokes and jests for jessel(haha!)
rarr. nuts.

here i am. sitting at my desk. sometimes things get so(for lack of vocabulary) sian that i wonder why i'm practically wasting my life here. but then again, when my emo mood starts kicking in, God comes around and kicks me outta it. I was just reading Julie's blog and when i read the lyrics of 'Surrender', something just went down my spine. and then things get clearer and more refreshing. it's hard to psyche yourself up especially if you're not a morning person. but then, nobody said walking with God was ever easy. it takes perseverance and patience and tons of love and grace. but i thank God that He is always faithful. everything seems a lot easier when you know the Creator of the world is around somewhere near to be your greatest cheerleader.
haha. i feel cheered up already. no need for animal biscuits. :) a year ago, if i were to be in this position, i'd probably throw in the towel and sulk and complain that my time could be better spent doing something else. (probably inane stuff like watching tv and shopping) but after one whole year, with so many things that God has taught me(not in the easiest ways), i've begun to realise the joy of working for the Lord. We don't have to do it just in ministries or in church, but it's just in everything. to know that i'm using my time to sow in the building fund gives me a great sense of satisfaction even though my body is tired and my flesh is weak. so yes, i shall encourage all those out there who are taking jobs or sacrificing for the building fund. God is behind you all the way! don't let your flesh get the better of you and keep doing what is good because in time, we will reap a harvest that is a hundred times greater than what we have sown.

all right i shall post. going off to KL for 6 days this week. not exactly looking forward to it, but it beats work. haha.
anyways yea...i suppose it's a sacrifice i hafta make and then when things start to get so boring, i remember why i'm doing this and all of a sudden things look up and meaningless work becomes something more worthwhile.
so. i'm really glad ade studies opposite at SMU. :) a friendly face to brighten up my day.lol in my bid to make things seem less sian, i bought baby animal biscuits to cheer myself up. it actually works. haha. tw can vouch.
i have also decided to make use of my kitchen. lol. hasn't been the most successful venture. i made potato salad the other day and when i was eating it, i realized i accidentally mixed some egg shells inside. urgh. haha.
yup service has been good and from this week on i shall make a conscious effort to do QT. sometimes it's so hard to picture how God is like, but then i just tell myself that He's all the good that i see in others and in everything. He's the effort i see when Daddy specially wakes up to send us to school. He's the love i feel when people go the extra mile for me. He's the beauty in the sunrise and the sunset. He's the warmth of the morning sun. He's the humour in comedies. He's the excellence in winners. He's the compassion in us. He's the patience in time. He's the gentleness that a mother holds a baby with. He's the passion that lovers have. He's the faithfulness of patriots. He's the strength of the strongest will. He's the wisdom of the wise. He's the majesty of mountains. and the list goes on.
In short. He's everything that is perfect.
Maybe we care too much about things we shouldn't care about. He somehow makes it so simple. 'Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you.' if we follow this, i suppose things would be a lot easier.

sometimes i wish i didn't need to listen or obey. there are so many sacrifices to be made and so many plans involved.
sometimes i wish i didn't come with emotions. then things wouldn't hurt so much.
sometimes i wish i could be more effusive, but i always hold back, because He tells me to.
and there are so many good reasons why.
it's not that i don't care, it's not that i don't see the things you do, it's not that i don't feel anything.
and yea, i feel more than i show, and i'm sorry if i hurt you in any way because i didn't mean to.
and i would never do anything to hurt you if i had a choice. i'm sorry if i didn't make things clear enough, or allow things to progress.
because there's someone more important we both have to follow now.
There you go changing my plans again.
There you go shifting my sands again.
For reasons I don't understand again.
Lately I don't have a clue.
Just when I start liking what I see
There you go changing my scenery
I never know where you're taking me
But I'm trying just to follow you.
It's out of my hands
It's out of my reach
It's over my head
And it's out of my league
There's too many things
That I don't understand
So it's into your will
And it's out of my hands

to compensate for the many many days in which i have neglected my blog. i shall post often now. :)
so anyways i bought new shoes today! manda claims they are too cool for me. whatever that means. they are pink and brown with swirly thinglings on them.
i saw a toad downstairs just now when i was walking bagel. only it didn't look like a toad. it looked like a swollen yellow and black balloon with slimy feet. ew. and bagel tried to make friends with it.
k. enough about the mundane going-ons in my life.
today i was thinking. it's really funny how God makes your life turn out. i mean i dont' even hang with the friends that i was close to at the beginning of the year. 'cept for mel and bimin.
maybe it's kinda his way of filtering our lives out. i guess it is disappointing to realize that people whom you thought you knew actually aren't that way. they were just using you for something. but then again, i dont' really blame them. i mean, even though it sounds despicable, everyone of us uses people to a certain extent. it's just human nature. i dont' think many of us start out with that kind of malicious intent, it's just 'coz we're not perfect, there's always a bit of selfishness and pride in everyone of us.
real friends are hard to find. they are the ones whom we can trust. they are the ones who make us feel so comfortable we dont' have to put up masks to hide who we truly are. they are the ones who muster up the courage to tell us when we're wrong, even if it means hurting us, because it's only right. and then we'll turn around and thank them afterwards. they are the ones who care enough to sacrifice and to accept us for who we are, not for what we can give them.
hope i'll find more in the future. oh well. back to adam bede. happy holidays everyone. :)
nuts. cant wait for christmas.

have you ever been through periods where you just go through the days with your eyes shut? then one day some realization hits you right smack from the back, shocking you and temporarily paralysing your senses and nearly all intellectual capabilities?
so i was just minding my own business trying to fill in this job application form. then i was going to scan in my 'O' level results. THEN. i realized that it wasn't in this nice pink folder which i keep my certs in. i was like 'OH MY MOTHER FISH AND CROCODILE AND STARS!!!' x 10000. then the house erupted into chaos 'coz i thought i lost the darn thing. at that point in time, as i was miserably griping to kaye, i totally felt like lindsay lohan in 'just my luck' after she kissed that guy. ew. kaye kindly informed me that i am not lindsay lohan and that my life is not governed by coincidental forces such as 'luck' and that i should stop being so drama and get a grip.
anyways. the crux of the story is. i haven't collected the cert yet. my blurness is going to cost me dearly someday. i hope this inherent flaw isn't going to cause me any physical or neurological damage in the future. 0.0 urgh.
fishbits.
oh well. otherwise. no other exciting things have been happening. maybe apart from my first sighting of the plecos. which i thought were fascinatingly ugly. haha.
the O and A levels have started. i'm just kinda thankful now that i'm in the in-between period. the year passed so fast. oh yea. pw. haha. i'm so glad to see the back of it. yayee.
