They are gaping at my eyebags and the eye circles that accompany them. haha.. one of the latest I have ever slept before a school day 3.30am. which in actual fact pales in comparison with my other friends who apparently slept at 6am. I hope I shall never repeat this again. I love my bed.. I love sleep. And i don't like the feeling of waking up in the morning feeling as if I hadn't done my QT the night before. O_o
saturday was pretty quirky. quirky because there were no available electric sockets in school after the library closed, and cause there were enough plugs for 5 people in my tiny room. And so the 5 of us crammed into the limited space on my floor to try to finish our report. At around 6, there was only suzie, kin and me left. we started going crazy by sending each other emoticons. haha. i love onions!
I'm so glad I went to church on Sunday.. jie's games had us all rolling on the floor in laughter. =)
i love getty images. they can find you a picture for almost every kind of feeling. like now. yawns.
on a heavier note.. I keep thinking about the South Korean Christians still in captivity in afghanistan. Last night when Mylene smsed saying that one of them was killed, my heart couldn't help but sink a little. When i pray for them, i'm not quite sure how to pray.. is it to hope that they will still be able to give thanks in such circumstances like Paul and Silas when they were in prison? But then again, if I were them would I be able to give thanks? being the puny human that i am with the puny mind, i can't see beyond my own nose, much less the light at the end of the tunnel. When my time comes, what will I do?
I pray that they will be shown mercy.. that they will feel comfort, will have strength and wisdom and faith. And most of all, to see hope.
Sarah sarah.. try to work faster!! jia you=) then can sleep. We really had a nice time sharing our thoughts during cell while playing this game called "ungame". thanks liru!!
Hmm.. as i was sharing, this week's QT was on relationships.. How lightly people take marriage, homosexuality, making friends, keeping friendships, and singlehood. It greatly interested the rest what my "criteria" for my future bf is. lols. I shared, and shall wait for them to share. =)
I think the magic of fireworks lost their effect on me. How many times when there are fireworks in the sky and people start whipping out their cameras and snapping away. But the splendor lasts but a fraction of a minute. But the company was good lar.. haha. Daniel is quite a nice brother to have. Can bully and get away with it. Plus I was impressed by how he offered to say grace. I guess among my own church friends, we don't have this habit of spontaneously praying.
Looking at the results of my disasterous pract test and the comments my lecturer gave me left me in tears.. But i guess it's a lesson well learnt.
When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet,
though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Heavenly Father, let this be the song on my heart.. It is well with my soul.
oh oh.. i have to say that i'm encouraged by tab's determination to do her QT! =)
i was sitting in the toilet today trying to compose myself. today's toilet lesson is on trust and faith and i must say that i failed it cause it's so hard to smile when you know you've blown it. it's easier to comfort others and tell them to have faith than to DIY. But it feels all better now, having resolved to have faith.
i watched 'shoes anonymous' , a project by my jie's mission team. Could feel the sadness radiating from those pair of shoes walking around. =)
Glad God made nights. There's always something to look forward to when you wake up in the morning. hee.
To Kingslin: I don't have the photos we took together.. plus, sarah looks ugly. messy hair.
To cheryl: I didn't see you on wed when i went for life meeting!! haven't seen you for such a long long time.. Rah misses you=)
herein concludes the thrid part of the reflection of my hk trip.. I finally understand why i got more and more agitated with each passing day at hk, and how i haven't been able to do anything ever since i've been back. Since I came back, I've literally been stoning my time away, not wanting to do anything, even getting up has been a chore. Didn't feel like praying, or doing my QT. i kinda lost my raison d'etre, or maybe my drive.
Yesterday during the prayer walk organized by Liru and MQ, i figured out why. too noisy.. I haven't have enough alone time to recharge myself. But in anycase, there's still something missing, something that will make sarah feel like sarah again.

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
