Soggy and Crispy fries all packed in One.

For these few weeks, Mac will be my third home, right after 683C and NYP. Well, tired of all the projects coming in, let alone reconnecting my "korh-yak" network. So had to stay behind at this pathetic corner where mosquitoes suck f-r-e-e-l-y. Anyway, should update life no doubt the grief of losing a full page report I woke up early to do today... Bah...
Life isn't all sweet and rosy. It's more of thorns and hurdles. Why? Isn't it because we remember pain and bad experience better? We tend to be forgetful with the comfort and pleasures which came our way. Likely because we'll soon be taking them for granted shortly after they stay? If we were to be really to be sincere, it isn't too difficult to come up with a million things to be grateful for! For the cooling rain, for the fact that we're not blind or deaf, etc.

Mel, I kind of understand your fear. Your helpless feel and your stressful expectations. Although I don't score as well as you do and thus I don't get to fall as hard as you may, but I can relate to that kind of vulnerable feeling. Do remember that life don't stop at education. Nor will life be retricted by them, unless you allow it to. Not saying that we don't have to study hard or what, but certs indeed aren't everything. Someone told me some simple logic which picked me up real fast:

Turn your face to the Sun, and shadows will fall behind.

If you get the right direction, everything will fall well in place. You know what I mean huh... I saw your tears today, but your enthusiasm didn't grow fainter. That's it! That's the spirit! I don't know how long the world may continue to hurt you, but never forget to draw strength from the right source. If your God is for you, then who can be against you?! Com'on, do your best and see God do the rest...

And LX giving up is not an option, it shouldn't be. Meeting up with more than a thousand hiccups an hour still doesn't make giving up valid. We can overcome not because we can, but that the power of Him in us can! So we have nothing to boast when we win the battle, and nothing to stop us from discovering the ability and try again next time. Remember that trying itself IS a result. You should watch how a butterfly struggles out from its cocoon. Doesn't repeated tries led to unbelievable result? Let's get out of cocoons together, that we may experience true freedom from bondages!

ZL and Char, many a times I will hide behind you both to earn some glory of light. I'm proud of youS. And also, do well later!

Just have to get some thoughts conveyed and release some views. That's to prevent typing all these in my report, just like how I typed Harry Potter in my geography paper. Done! Let's get through all these reports, fears, worries and late nights together, it isn't as hard as it seems to be... Tomorrow's just a new day ahead to get things right again.

嗬。。。

现在才知道你听不懂人话。

"Hi, can I have your order?"

Is it coincidence or what that I had a special guest lecture on India today? India used to be a far away place I was never interested in. But today it seem so close, so attention seeking. The speaker was a 40+ INDIAN, short, plumb and with moustache stretched below his nose. Just like dad. He said Earth is seemingly becoming flatter where boundaries are dropping. Is that really the case? Oh ya! And he said something like, "If you think you can hit and run in India, you'll be hit and ran over." He was trying to bring the point that India values longevity in their business, not overnight fast gains.

Today I attended a very stressful lecture on MR. Mr Pang keep looking at his best student, who happened to sit beside me. I have to act as if I understand the lecture whenever he looks this direction. If you give that "I'm lost" kind of face, he will only stare longer, harder. Constantly slightly nodding and writing notes made the 1hr lecture seemed forever before it ends. -..- But still, looking forward to the day Jacky's going to rap! It'll be fun!

Aiya, whatever laa. I'm here stuck at Mac using their internet connection to do my projectsSSS. So many work piling up but no one will understand if your connection is down or what. Nor if you even have a computer to work on... 10 pages of report by tomorrow means by tomorrow. Present on Tuesday means no matter how many presentations you have that week, you STILL present on Tuesday. That's the helpless part about life, isn't it?

Has been thinking about alot of things lately. Especially more when life gets busy and conflict of priorities and directions sets in. I tend to think more about life's purpose whenever I know I'm losing it either by force or willingly. In a way also to reflect on how far I've come and what I've been doing. Although only have travelling and before-sleep time for me to think, I came to some fruitful conclusions. Fruitful at least to me... Some may not even understand a tiny bit of my reflections. But that's why it's MINE, right?

Come to think of it, life isn't as bad as we voiced it to be. Yes, we are staying back everyday to rush to meet deadlines. Yes, exams are around the corner and I cannot even name all the modules I'm taking. Yes, I'm stuck preparing Word. Yes, people are drifting and effort has to be made to draw them back. Yes, everyday is late night. But it still isn't that bad. At least I'm not as lost as the after Os period when I really slack and do nothing. I feel life depreciate more when I do nothing. At least now I see charts generated, pages of reports typed and full page of to do list... There's always something to give thanks.

'Happily ever after' is those who have no options than living 'happily ever after'.
Divorce are for those who have it as an option from the beginning.
Doesn't fewer facts lead to stronger opinions but fewer options?
Doesn't fewer options lead to richer life in some ways?
How willing are we in restricting ourselves will be reflected in the near future.

Keep thinking about this meaningful chinese phrase which is ZL's favourite:
无风不起浪；四处必有因。

Thai-Rak-Thai

That's our after-school-joy, before-project-stress. There's still thin bit of happiness and something to look forward to in the projecty-filled atmosphere at all corners of NYP:
(My state of mind)

"Are we doing Gardenia, Nestle or Food Juction's project?"
"We're not in your EBWR group and Nestle's presentation is over. Wake up..."
"Ohh, so what project are we meeting for?!"
"QM!!!"
"Oh! Ok... Which company did we choose for QM huh?"
"Gardenia. T.T"

Goodnight, people!
SL, you can make it...

但是你从未不舍得分享出去。

华恩有你是祝福；
团契有你就享福；
小组有你是幸福；
我们有你是赐福。


生日蒙恩

Running out of TIME

好久没有这么迟睡了。
因为刚才稍微睡了一下，所以还不会太累。
虽然已预备完明天要交的报告，但星期三的测验还没读到。
九课嘞！学校神经病。。。
现在这样努力是为了那张纸吗？
为何？
以后成为少奶奶也说不定嘛。

其实我们的人生大之上都照着顺序走。
不会有太大的差异或变迁。
是好是坏，谁知？
但一定会有它发生的目的。
虽然是积极的过日子，可是难免会有无奈的时候。
现在就处于这种时候。。。

生病的朋友们，最近天气时好时坏，所以要而外照顾自己！
三福队员们，既然人不来教会，我们明天就把教会带出去吧！

*Random*
以后我三个儿子的名：
大儿子-Dylan
二儿子-Gideon
小儿子-Kaydon
Plan Bs:
a. No children=Get 3 pets and name them this way.
b. Only 1 or 2 sons=Name my husband the 3rd name.
c. Only daughters=Also name them these names.(Lalalala...)
d. More than 3 kids=Repeat the cycle of names.

看来我终于累了。。。
Heh heh heh.

Confuse?

Sometimes I feel sinful feeling overjoyed.
Will He understand?

Love him laa...
Let's hide the smile.

怎么能明白又疲惫又有活力的感觉呢？

有人说：
这世界是用真心活下去的。
对人也应该真心。
只要心里有目标，就应该诚实真心的面对。
就算是有许多困难，只要我们真心诚意面对，什么会不成呢？
只求真心。
真心就够了。

我的问题：
目标就这么简单能达成吗？
真心就能解决所有的烦恼吗？
自己的真心到底靠得住吗？
真心到底有对错之分吗？
难道从没有人真心诚意往错的目标沸腾吗？
没有人为真心出卖灵魂了吗？

结语：
真心果然好。它又积极，又能使生命充实有活力。
但倘若用错地方，它只不过是自私的装饰，自我的陶醉而已。。。

察言观色；这可算是优点，也可算是缺点吧。
其实我比较喜欢察言观色差的人。

What you live for determine how you live.

今天发生了怎么多事。。。
因为睡过时间没去早上的课所以感到蛮失望。
我何时变得怎么爱睡了呢？
在沙发都可以睡着。-..-

但是。。。

Annie为我买了DONUTS！！
虽然不是我平常吃的，但是成为我的激励。
呈灵这个人真是不懂得表达谢意，其实真的很感激她。
Love you very strong ;]

然后发现到其实昨天是轮到我发出简讯的，但是没做。
感到非常遗憾、内疚、失望。
但是你知道吗，宗林的分享真是感动。
喜欢你的世界有健康的人、事、物。
安心你还有对错好坏之分。
Love you very strong x)

因为今天本来不需去练习，但是因为后来又需要所以去了。
伟杰真是今天最帅的男生！
因为他的手指都快被滑坡了，他还不埋怨的把bass play好。
虽然是有些心疼，但是只要一想到他在计宝在天，就很下心来。
有时爱护就是这样：尽量使别人领受神来的祝福。
所以手指被擦破也是幸福的呢。。。
Love you very strong :D

让我有能为这些看起来微不足道的小事成为力量，我感恩。

简单无新事到不可思议=人生

"It's alright to letting yourself go for the reason to get it back."
What a lie, what a deception.

Call me the old-fashion freak, but I never find this logical. On others I may agree, but it's self-deceiving to think this as a new idea to life. Just because it may be out of the ordinary thinking doesn't make this idea wise. The way to get it back is to get it back. Ya, life is just so straight forward most of the time. Not as creative, full of twists and turns as we hope it to be. These fresh concepts to life only add midst to truth, making it a harder path to purposeful life.

We just have to do few things right in life.
If we do not do too many of them wrong.

Human only impair themselves, when they disobey God.
End of story.

*Only saw your 'dinner?' before bed.*

每次都有不同的领受。
每次都带来新的观点。
每次都是如此的精彩。
每次都激励填补帮助。
三福课程就是怎么有价值。

所以，就算在学校里多么疲惫、沮丧，三福总是灵命的冲击力。
许多时候我们误以为事工需要我们的付出、委身。
事工好像是因为我们而被建立。。。
其实自己不知不觉被事工建立。

下次有机会为神多走一里路时，当记得感恩。
每逢能为神作些什么样的舍己，当记得喜乐。
若神允许把生命都为他付上时，当记得救恩。
因为被召的人多；选上的人少啊！

Don't even know if I am fit to say "Choose Me" to You.
But... Choose Me.

Donut-Love

Suddenly had cravings for Donuts after taking my QM results. Ya, you should know how I fare huh... (IIII dddiiiiddd ssstttuudddyyyy, DUH!) Nvm, anyway I needed something sweet to perk me a little, and I thought of donuts. I love donuts only when I need them. And when I need them, I want them that instance. That explains why I don't fancy donuts but usually crave for them.

When on the way home from school, went to YCK Cheers, but they don't have. Thought Admiraty MRT has Cheers outlet, but remembered it was replaced by 7-11 instead. -.-" So when to Admiraty 7-11, walked a few rounds to decide what more to get other than a strawberry donut. Then I saw this advertisement: Hot Ice cream. Hot as in chilli-hot, yea, it looks THAT HOT. Got me curious and so I bought one to try.

Curiosity kills the cat.

WRONG MOVE, it was super duper awful laa! It doesn't taste hot until after the ice cream melts. And it left a spicy feel at the throat. PUI, YUCK, BLEAH, BOO, EEWWW... Threw it right into the bin just outside the store, took out my donut and thought, "At least I still have you!" Throughout the gloomy journey home, I have to keep reminding myself:

1. I didn't waste $1.60, I bought an experience.
2. I ATE donut.

I should be thankful, no?

This is being as One.

These are our backs -..-

This is a "WW SHOULDN'T BE THERE?!" photo.

This is cold.

This is warm.

This is day-dreaming.

This is deep-thinking.

This is farewell.


These are my angels.

This is attendance.

This is loneliness.
