ok.

the mad rush of essays is over. phew!

Uni sounds slack in terms of the number of days i need to go to school. but look the vast amount of readings i need to do.

mind you, the essays are not your one-page-thingy-to-appease-that-lit-teacher. fat chance! at least a thousand five.

phews, and now it's time to start mugging.exams would end this time nxt month. then i'm flying off!

actually i got this nagging feeling that i would be even more busy during the holidays.

too busy to catch up with friends, too busy to sit down and think. too busy to watch people walking by. too busy to slow down and smell the flowers.

i guess i'm busy, but i'll never be too busy to stop and look up and know that God is in the midst of all the madness. =)

Once a gb girl, always a gb girl.

Was just looking at my sec sch pics, and I realised, whoa, time's flying past real quickly! especially my gb pictures. man, I miss those days. i guess when you join a cca, esp uniformed group, you will certainly miss those communal days of camps, campfires, hikes, drills and the like. and of course, one sat morning we were called in by the captain for meeting and she treated us chai tao kuay ( fried carrot cake). It's super funny... and the drill competitions!and I love drills man...

As I was playing bball at sch courts just now, I can't help but to stare at the school. and I know it is not my school anymore.

Maybe getting to uni makes u think that u do not belong to anywhere. Everything seems relative. and the places you attach feelings to are always changing.

In 5 yrs' time, this exact place where I'm typing this entry would be gone. My home of 19 yrs.

okay, I know I sound like Kim Cheng, but let me finish...

I agree with what he said! Things change and that is the harsh and cruel fact.

And last year this time, I was mugging so hard for the A's. And the one who self-retained said a yr would pass very quickly. How apt.

And as I reflect, I guess he's right. I hope he made the right choice.

I can't explain, but there's this indescribable joy inside of me...............

and no, i'm not in love thankyouverymuch.

Left behind

I ran over to your place that day
Hoping to catch a glimpse of you
Like yesterday, we would spend quality time
Sharing, shopping and the like.

As these days passed, we drifted
You became busy with your life
And I with mine
I thought we could maintain this friendship
By dinners, tags and texts.

But I was wrong.

Is our friendship so transient
That distance cannot overcome this six
Degrees of separation when
I am just across the road?

Maybe I was just too naive for your liking.
Maybe I was just a social mis-fit.

It's time for you to leave behind the past you never knew.
Left behind is not so easy to spell after all.

Now move on.

blog-hopping is good. makes u reflect on what others are reflecting/experiencing.

one generalisation.

when u get into uni, you will break up with your boyfriend, or girlfriend when you enter army.

of course, i said it's a generalisation!

it's quite sad to hear a piece of bad news. i never like bad news anyways. but the fact that your good friends who were once together are not together anymore. it's quite sad. considering how loving they were and all those stuff.

kj said i have no confidence in marriage and relationships and he calls me a feminist.

feminist ( to a certain extent) i am.

tis the season when your parents start asking you whether if there's anyone after you, would you like to have a boyfriend, got anyone express his intentions to you blah de blah... oh, especially when they see someone's daughter who is younger than me walking around the neighbourhood with her guy friend. my mom's pretty interesting. she assumed the guy's her boyfriend! gosh, if all guy friends who send girls home are their boyfriends....

i would have tons!

i must say i got good guy (and girl) friends around who are out there to look out for me and taking care of me. to check whether i reached home properly after mid-night and all.. kudos to these ppl whom they know who they are hur hur??

i've passed the crushing stage, i've passed the infatuation stage. i've passed the so-called "love at first sight" stage. oh yes, i'm getting old i know.

but the point is, why waste time? i told my mom, in response to her "anyone got intentions towards me" question

"mom, i rather not waste time and do my own things now."

i think i got high intolerance for wasted time. i never like to waste time. especially waiting.

but it's this area that makes me patient in another aspect. that's really superb.

back to what kj said.

I have confidence in the One who will bring us (whoever this entity "us" comprises) together. I got no idea when but He knows and that's quite enough for now. =)

Hymn of the Day

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
