it's the eve of new year's eve...lol...a bit kancheong abt tmr...hope ppl don't pang seh me...wah lao.. esp the GIRLS man...guy-overload...a bit intimidating...oh well...been so long since we last had an slc reunion...lalala
ok short post...happy new year ppl!! Monday, December 29, 2003
sigh...i need a break...everytime things seem to be alright again i get another problem to worry about...i resent him for making her doubt this way...it's just not right...and the worst thing is that it's making ME doubt too...fortunately my situation is better so it's easier to fight it...less at stake...on one hand he's a nice person and he gets along well with us...but this is...crossing the line...how can you lead someone to believe that everything she has learnt throughout her entire life is a lie? wad makes you so sure YOU're right?? how can you force her to turn against her family this way? that's just SELFISH...
things aren't always certain but it doesn't matter...you just need to trust and believe...at least that's my theory...but does that constitute as blind faith?? this is BAD...i don't need this...especially at this point in time...ugh!! i can't seem to do anything right...it's so frustrating!! need some order in my life again [ ...the frustrations fill the void that i can solely bear. dear God, don't let me fall apart. You've held me close to You, but i have turned away and searched for answers i can't understand -- jars of clay ] Sunday, December 28, 2003
crap man...sch's reopening soon...wish i were still in j1 then don't have to worry abt unfinished holiday homework cuz i'd be having orientation..last yr's hols were how song man..sigh..this yr got hw but still damn slack...haha...watched so many movies...have yet to watch my fellowship extended version..lalala...my sister and her bf think the hobbits are gay cuz of that jumping-on-the-bed scene in return of the king...haha! his theory is that frodo left middle earth cuz sam married rosie...lol...and why did the 2 of them fall in love? they had a i'll-never-let-go-you-jump-i-jump titanic scene in mount doom...full of crap man...lol...
so how's 2003 been for you guys huh...wasn't too great for me, comparatively-speaking...fraught with so much disappointment and sorrow...haha...but i guess it had it's own bright spots...like for instance, it was the year i made so many fantastic new friends..first from orientation (my og is still alive can you believe it...we rock man...) ppl like ds sq sarah sab sballers FELIX THE FAG...lol...never fail to brighten up my morning...then 3L...my closer friends like wq and the rest of the bro-hood--wilson kh ian...girls ying mich chiara...and ppl i got to know better later on in the year like serene *grins* and then there's the red house ppl like jerold, with his loan shark antics ("ppl, the modulus of our class fund is very high")...man..at this rate i'll be naming everyone in class...but yeah! i'm grateful for all my classmates...even those i don't usually talk to...and then there are others from who knows where else...lol...who would have thought huh...still remember last yr this time i was imagining myself as an anti-social, coming from a minority sch and all...hm...but i guess comparing then and now, i've mellowed quite a bit... i'm also extremely grateful for the fact that the councillors are still really close...quite amazing how we've stayed true to our word, meeting up every month and sometimes more frequently...think we're prob the only batch to remain so close even after council term...*grins* but then again there was always something about our batch that made us super united...thank God for nysc...
should be sleeping now...so shall try to make this as fast as possible..hur...

O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; Come and behold Him, Born the King of angels O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. True God of true God, Light from Light Eternal, Lo, He shuns not the Virgin's womb; Son of the Father, begotten, not created Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation; O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above! Glory to God, all glory in the highest See how the shepherds, summoned to His cradle, Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze; We too will thither bend our joyful footsteps Child, for us sinners poor and in the manger, We would embrace Thee, with love and awe; Who would not love Thee, loving us so dearly? Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this happy morning; Jesus, to Thee be glory given; Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

terrible...i've been spending a lot of money this hols...better start starving myself...but can't really help it...got so many outings to attend...and practically all of them involve feasting...like today had reunion with the 4/8ers at where? swensen's...then tmr supposed to meet up with some 3L ppl and matt for wad? lunch...sheesh....anw...quite strange...i didn't know i was going for the lunch tmr until chiara sent the sms...funny she should know before me huh...still wondering whether i should go...i'm really damn broke...and tmr's christmas eve!!!! will be staying up pretty late (prob going for midnight Mass again) so don't really wanna tire myself...aiyar..will decide tmr morning...
anw zao-ed quite early today from the reunion...wanted to avoid the crowd....came home all excited cuz jierry and i were supposed to make our christmas rum balls...wah...got all the ingredients ready and all psyched up when we discovered we don't have rum...wth...was raiding the wine/liquer cabinet and discovered all sorts of alcohol...bottles were covered with dust and contents mostly evaporated...lol...cognac xo kahlua...everything except rum...sian-ness...ok ANW! supposed to be talking abt my reunion...yeah glad to see everyone again...especially the aussie ppl like mars!! did quite a bit of thinking today...like abt sch and stuff...and how ridiculous moe is...i mean...granted, it's good to diversify and focus on areas other than academics...but you're supposed to SPREAD the emphasis among the various areas! NOT multiply them! i mean (ok i'm better with physics) let's say you have 4N of force on say...academics and you're thinking of putting more emphasis on areas like cca, eq and pw (personally i think it's a waste of time but for EXAMPLE yeah)...what you SHOULD do is DIVIDE the amount of force such that you get 1N of force on each area! NOT MULTIPLY IT AND PUT 4N OF FORCE ON EACH AREA!! like you know?? force over area?? PRESSURE?! and you wonder why the suicide rate is going up...*rolls eyes* get a clue! and while we're on the kb-ing mode....kids these days are damn pesky!!! wah lao!!! today was on the bus then saw--or rather, HEARD-- this annoying kid whining away...damn loud leh! interrupt my train of thoughts...mao de...in church too!! you see all these screaming kids and you just feel like going over and wrenching out their voice boxes but you can't cuz you're in church and you're supposed to be forgiving and tolerant and all that...ugh!!! can't imagine myself as a mother...think i'll probably be one of those moms who fa feng and start strangling their kids...ok think i've just jeopardised my chances of ever getting married...lol.... ok enough for today...tired liao... Monday, December 22, 2003

anw went to m'sia yesterday for dinner...(yeah JUST for dinner at my dad's friend's house) and man...the causeway was seriously jammed....we're talking at least 1 km here....spent 2 hours waiting to get thru the s'pore checkpt (haven't even reached m'sia yet leh), observing all the bengster cars with the blue lights and other extra accessories (which are really quite quite extra, so to speak)..and this was the SECOND LINK...so much for it being smoother yeah...tsk tsk...anw was worth it cuz uncle tay's wife is a DAMN GOOD COOK (almost as good as my grandma)...but was damn sleepy cuz i had been out since 10.15 am....(note: for all you crowd-haters like me...avoid orchard at all costs...especially during the weekends) anw we got home at what? 2.30 am today? i'm EXHAUSTED..and service was exceptionally long today cuz 50 ppl were getting baptised...i'm damn sad that father yim's leaving...he gives the best sermons...and not being biased here just cuz he's my dad's 2nd cousin....seriously...Holy Cross parishioners would know...sigh...anw he used the following song today in his sermon...heard it before but didn't really like it until now...think the words are quite meaningful I hope you never lose your sense of wonder You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger May you never take one single breath for granted God forbid love ever leave you empty handed I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens Promise me that you'll give fate the fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance I hope you dance I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance Never settle for the path of least resistance Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth making Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter When you come close to selling out reconsider Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always) I hope you dance (Rolling us along) I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder) I hope you dance (Where those years have gone) I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens Promise me that you'll give faith the fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance Dance I hope you dance I hope you dance (Time is a wheel in constant motion always) I hope you dance (Rolling us along) I hope you dance (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder) I hope you dance (Where those years have gone) (Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder) I hope you dance (Where those years have gone) Friday, December 19, 2003
i am....i don't know what i am...think i'm going through some strange emotional screw-up...like...i'm switching from one emotion to the next in a span of what? 10 seconds? and it's been going on for the whole day...this morning was perfectly fine...then in the afternoon got a bit edgy...and then irritated...extremely depressed...frustrated....calm again...then annoyed...then mellow...then irritated by a bunch of annoying kids....then at peace...then strangely sad....now i'm oscillating between annoyed and depressed...
went to acsi for some play...it would have been pretty good if it weren't for the fact that i had a hundred heads blocking my view...and had to strain my ears to catch what the actors were saying (esp since the bunch of annoying kids decided to add their own commentary, which wasn't exactly very insightful)...but yeah...play was based on neiville tan..the convict-turned-pastor guy? yeah...thought the last part was exceptionally nice...cuz he came up to preach a bit and his words were really kinda impactful...then during the prayer felt really overwhelmed...like how i felt during p6 retreat in ij--when i could actually feel the Holy Spirit...really liked the feeling, especially at this point in time when i'm going thru a spiritual dry... i feel kinda bitter...and not too sure why...maybe it's the grieving cycle thing again....anw i probably should warn you guys...i'm not....stable....and it's probably unreasonable but i resent ppl giving me things to do now and just basically adding stress to my already unstable self...sorry....i do hope i'll be alrite again next yr when sch reopens...but in the meantime...do tread carefully...i'm grateful for your words of comfort and i do believe that you will be there for me...but...at this point in time all i need is someone i can scream at...and i love you too much to abuse you like that...so thank you for your support but i hope you understand why it cannot make me fully all right again Lonely looking sky, lonely sky, lonely looking sky, being lonely makes you wonder why makes you wonder why lonely looking sky, lonely looking sky, lonely looking sky.....lonely looking night lonely night lonely looking night being lonely never made it right never made it right, lonely looking night lonely looking night,. Lonely looking night......sleep, we sleep......and we may dream, while we may, dream.......we dream, for we may wake one more day, one more day, glory looking day, glory day glory looking day and in its glory told in a simple way behold it if you may glory looking day.....glory looking day...lonely looking sky..

it's beginning to look a lot like christmas..that song has been in my head for 2 straight days..was reading several blogs and like...why's everyone so down?? (hurhur...look who's talking) anw yeah...let's all make an effort to cheer up yeah...must get psyched up for christmas!! our Father up in heaven, many years ago, looked down in His great mercy upon the earth below and saw that folks were lonely and lost in deep despair and so He said, "I'll send My Son to walk among them there. so they can hear Him speaking and feel His nearness, too, and see the many miracles that faith alone can do... for if man really sees Him and can touch His healing hand I know it will be easier to believe and understand." and so the Holy Christ Child came down to live on earth and that is why we celebrate His holy, wondrous birth, and that is why at Christmas the world becomes aware that heaven may seem far away but God is everywhere. [For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life - John 3:16]
heavy heart...i don't think i'm all that stable but...well...haha...it all comes down to how well you act. the news that i was one of the 3 made me feel even worse...i don't deserve it...ugh!! do you know what it's like to hate yourself?? i honestly do hate myself...really really hate...may God be so kind as to let me live with the guilt shame and regret that i am feeling now for the rest of my life...it felt like crap knowing i was abt 12 hours too late...my dad didn't wanna let me know so had to wait until i got there to find out...the 'lonely-looking sky' song is in my head...maybe i'll go buy the cd...quite strange huh...buy the cd to listen and weep..but the song is really really nice....if anyone has it please send it to me!!

this is dedicated to someone whom i admired and respected very much...born to eternal life on the 28th of november 2003
i'm sorry i didn't get the chance to tell you how much i love you.. i sit here and i wonder what it is that i can do if i had one more day, just to spend it all with you would we talk for hours, and say all we never said or would we hold each other gently, and wait until the end it's hard to sit and wonder, when it plays upon your mind just what it would have been like, if we knew there was more time i wonder what you're doing, and if you're thinking of us here i wonder if you see us, and i wonder if you're near i hope you find the answers to the questions that you seek i hope you find contentment in the answers you receive i spent a lifetime walking in the shadows of my mind i wish i hadn't wasted all of that precious time i wished for you to be here and i wish it wasn't true one day we'll be together and then we'll walk it through but until then i wonder what it is that i can do if i had one more day, just to spend it all with you Be Not Afraid you shall cross the barren desert, but you shall not die of thirst you shall wander far in safety, though you do not know the way you shall speak your words in foreign lands and all will understand you shall see the face of God and live be not afraid, I go before you always come follow Me, and I will give you rest. if you pass through raging waters, in the sea you shall not drown if you walk amid the burning flames, you shall not be harmed if you stand before the power of hell and death is at your side know that I am with you through it all be not afriad, I go before you always come follow Me, and I will give you rest You Are Near Yahweh, i know You are near standing always at my side You guard me from the foe and You lead me, in ways everlasting Lord, You have searched my heart and You know when i sit and when i stand Your hand is upon me protecting me from harm keeping me from harm Yahweh, i know You are near standing always at my side You guard me from the foe and You lead me, in ways everlasting where can i run from Your love? if i climb to the heavens You are there; if i fly to the sunrise or sail beyond the sea still i find You there Yahweh, i know You are near standing always at my side You guard me from the foe and You lead me, in ways everlasting Because the Lord is my Shepherd because the Lord is my shepherd, i have everything i need He lets me rest in the meadows and leads me to the quiet streams He restores my soul and He leads me in the paths that are right Lord, You are my shepherd, You are my friend. i want to follow You always, just to follow my friend and when the road leads to darkness, i shall walk there, unafraid even when death is close i have courage, for Your help is there You are close beside me with comfort, You are guiding my way Lord, You are my shepherd, You are my friend. i want to follow You always, just to follow my friend in love You make me a banquet, for my enemies to see You make me welcome, pouring down honour from Your mighty hand and this joy fills me with gladness, it is too much to bear Lord, You are my shepherd, You are my friend. i want to follow You always, just to follow my friend Your goodness always is with me and Your mercy i know Your loving kindness strengthens me always as i go through life i shall dwell in Your presence forever, giving praise to Your name Lord, You are my shepherd, You are my friend. i want to follow You always, just to follow my friend Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen. |
