sad. like everyone is so gloomy now the festive season is over.. somehow, this christmas, we may have bought the most gifts for our friends and received even more in the end, but we end up feeling even emptier inside.. i guess it's cause we've forgotten why we really celebrate chrismas. deep down inside, you know the true meaning of it all, but everyone is just too pre-occupied about what needs to be done, all the shopping and wrapping. And then when it's finally over, there is a sudden loss at what to do.. to learn how to drop everything and listen to what God wants to say is a art i must say.. cause i've never learnt how to. i just know that i have to keep myself busy.. buzzing here and there, without knowing why.
To bed, sarah. off to play with sluggy and sandman in dreamland.
i feel like Martha now.. it's like i'm trying so hard to make sure everything will be nice and perfect when all i'm supposed to do is to drop everything and remember what christmas is really all about.. if you dont know who i'm talking about go read Luke 10:38-42.
it's hard to let go.. esp when i'm the kind that i will try to do everything myself, unless i really cant.
i cant wait till tmr though, to see how the worship turns out. In all this, i really hope God will be smiling from his throne.
Yesterday was class christmas dinner.. it was fun enough..seeing all my classmates again and giving them something little to represent my thanks for their friendship through the two years. oh oh, Da Rong even dropped by and he seems more chatty.. =) unfortunately, i caught a cold in Jia Cun's condo. so ya. and i had to make it worse by drowing a little vodka. ya at least i think that's what i drank. and then the flu became worse.. but i had to wait before i could take medicine. dumb right. sarah sarah sarah. then i mixed it with two spoonfuls of pi pa gao.. haha. but anyway, all the mixing hasnt done any harm. i'm all right le.. save for my voice that sounds funny.
think i should seriously start packing up all the pressies for tmr. or else. i can forget about sleeping. ya.
super cute right.. haha.. it looks shocked to a certain exent. ho ho ho.
i was reading the mail liru forward to me.. the story that had the most lasting impression was this one..
1 teardrop said to the other, "I'm the teardrop of a guy who loved a girl and lost her. Who are you?" The other teardrop replied, "I'm the teardrop of the girl who regrets letting that guy go."
haha.. talking teardrops. arent they supossed to evaporate? oh fine. that's not the point. but anyway. ya.
hope mabel will have a safe trip and back from hong kong.. so long never see her le. miss her lots.. can't wait for her to come back so that we can meet. yay!
(added on : i was talking to a certain someone on msn and that person was like.. if the guy and the girl werent standing together, the teardrops couldnt have talked... such optimism.. haha.. )
super tired today.. after watching king kong. three hours long.. luckily the cinema seats were cushioned.. or else my tail bone would have snapped.. walked around for hours aimlessly.. probably explains why i'm so tired now. (like i'm always tired. hiaz) didnt buy anything though.. while reformating my sister's comp, i dozed off. just like that. luckily it was just a cat nap. but i'm happy, i made my peace and i fixed the comp=) finally.
had loads of fun this whole week, going out with my friends.. to all those who've made my week, thanks lots! like my saltshakers, movie pal and my tourguide. =)
sometimes i really wonder why Jesus had to die on the cross for me. like hello? i'm one of the worst human beings' the world could ever have.. maybe one fine day i'll get to ask him.. to hear it from him, even though i think i know why.. he'll say something like, "it's because i love you."
it's heartening to know that someone loves you sooo much. but to love him back just as much, do i really have that? how can i sin knowing full well that everytime i do, it's like crucifying him all over again? i wonder.
Christianity is not about feeling good, that you make a effort to go to church every sunday, do CIP and stuff like. i like what Josh Mcdowell said today at the yoth rally. going to church doesn't make you a christian any more than going to macs makes you a big mac . while i believe that faith should be the foundation of my walk with God, knowing evidence that what i believe in is true, is important too. if you need the evidence, ask me.. haha. i have Lee Strobel's "the case for faith"
i cant understand how people can look at the cell and not believe that a greater being exists. i simply do not believe that you can derive your cell DNA from the great bang.. or through natural evolution.. or pigs might fly. the third law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a perfect crystal is zero at absolute zero temperature. absolute zero temperature is virtually impossible to achieve.. so every molecule is vibrating all the time.. i think it's pretty cool, that right down to the molecular level, everything trembles in the presence of God.
5 days away from home. i've been up to malacca and down to loyang aloha. i gained lots and lost some of it too.. almost let myself down by brooding over the things that were lost, but i remember what Job 1:21 said " the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised" . still kinda sad though.. the things the guys gave me were so cute.. and they took the effort to get something for each of the girls.. but careless me had to lose a portion of it. hope it's somewhere in Aloha loyang. but i guess not. Nvm. i didnt lose everything.. oh well.
the BBQ was one of the best BBQs i've ever had.. like wing sing is such a great cook.. and the guys had enough sense not to get chicken wings.. so, no bones=) smart people. and da rong got a make over.. he was the star attraction for the night with his nice spiky hair.
i think i'll miss every single one of them, not knowing when we'll meet again. all of us together playing, tai-di-ing.. from bel and val who are always so lively, eli with her graceful ways, to shallin, my friend of 6 whole years.. jeanette, my old flame.. kimmy and MQ to balance all the noise.. jing yi, liru my two very good friends=) jasper for tolerating my nonsense (actually, everyone tolerates my nonsense, but to a lesser extent) and Xueli, for being so prim and proper all the time..
melvin, jia cun for crapping during PW and letting me have my way most of the time. and Da Rong for being sooooo forebearing even when it's obvious that everyone is picking on him.. to shin hung and shintaro for being such good brothers.. haha.. chen xi for calling me jie jie, even though he's older.. haha. and not bearing any grudges even when i drenched him with water.. cheng wei, lawrence, yong kuan, jun gang, augustus for helping me with school work unconditionally.. wing sing that mugger who wont admit it.. and finally to hoong ta for being such a good friend.
of course, we would all wish the holidays and the happy times could go on for a long time to come, but i think it's the end that makes the time spent together worth remembering...
i owe them lots.. for all the memories given, friendships shared, and for crossing my heart leaving their footprints behind..
this was a portion of my dinner yesterday, something like a side dish.. looks good right? the main course was even better.. yummy. You have to envy me. Plus, i was in the company of my two extremely funny and super nice section mates.
i think i wouldnt have missed yesterday for almost anything in the world..even if section outing was just the three of us, even if we didnt make it into the k-box room.. =)
i even saw mabel.. in all her splendor, her long turquiose gown with her hair all done.. too bad i dont have a picture to show you how pretty she looked..
and i had a fun time listening to CD after CD in the esplanade library.. i even listened to three blind mice la.. haha, thanks to somebody..
and, we walked to fullerton, despite being super tired, to play with koi. being 18 didnt stop some people like us from sticking our fingers into the koi pond to tease the koi.. oOps. haha but anyway, the point is, we had fun... and it was yummy=)

Although the fig tree shall not blossom
neither shall fruit be in the vines;
the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat;
the flock shall be cut off from the fold,
and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk 3:17-18
This lullaby is only a few words
A simple run of chords
Quiet here in this spare room
But you can hear it, hear it
Wherever you may go
I will let you down
But this lullaby plays on
">
what more?
