The sugar-coated life

 

There are naturally people out there who crack in silence and are then left to their own devices. Everybody else just leads their own lives in gaiety, happily oblivious to the widening rift. Nobody bothers to step nearer or probe further. Perhaps, everybody else have cracked too. Perhaps?

Yet, if only we could turn around and boldy admit that we choked. To stop walking away, averting our scarred faces, pretending that the sugar-coated appearance is all there is to Life, and of course, ourselves.

To inch our way out of focus is but, cowardly escapist. The softening is a mere illusion; the crack remains.

Life gives no discounts. Don't live yours on a sale

More updates

This year, I missed all the celebrations that we have in my church. I was out of town. My family and I went to Perth from the 10th to the 20th December. Greetings from down under. I have always loved Australia. I have been to many major cities in Australia. I love the weather, the picturesque scenery, the scenic lakes and oceans, the sunset and the moonrise, the people, the fashion etc... It was a good break away from the hustle and bustle of life in Singapore. Have a break, have a trip down south... Someone once said nature shows us God's handprints and footprints, and I have to agree.

The other day, I went with Esther to Kinokuniya. To our horror, we found that there were no longer the "Peter and Jane series" which we used to read when we were growing up. Now, the shelves are full of books on Mary Kate and Ashely etc (more matured books.) What happened to Enid Blyton, it is shoved into a miserable little shelf space.. Now books on dating are openly displayed in the children's section. See what a liberated generation it has turned into. Scary what kids read to feed their minds and souls nowadays. haha we made a pact to fight for the rights of Peter and Jane.... when we grow up.

Deck the Halls with boughs of Holly, Falalalalalalala

Hello!!! I'm back... its been the longest time since I have been here. If there's such thing as closing down due to inactive blog, I think I will be the first to receive that warning. Haharz.. thankfully no such thing.

Anyway, Blessed Christmas to one and all. Enjoy the festive season. Christmas is mua's favourite time of the year. As for me, its the meaning of true love. Think about it, we were all born sinners and were destined for eternal death. Sin separated us from God. God sent Jesus, His only son to die on the cross and bridge the gap between God and man. Now, all we have to do is ask God to forgive our sins and we can return to God. He loves each and everyone of you. He is waiting for you to return, so He can embrace you in His loving arms. Friends, there is a way out, we don't have to suffer an eternal death, all you have to do is BELIEVE and you will receive this free gift from the Lord. You don't have to work to earn it, all you have to do is RECEIVE...

If you believe, say this prayer...

Dear Lord, I admit that I am a sinner. Thank you for sending your son  to die on the cross for my sins. Right now, I ask you to forgive my sins and cleanse me. I accept you as my personal Lord and Saviour of my life. Thank you Lord that I am now your child. Amen.

Readers, friends say this prayer and I assure you, you'll not regret. Come believe in God. Its an exciting journey. Marvel at His miracles, goodness and faithfulness in your life.

I thank God for year 2005. It was indeed a good year. God has been so good to me. He has showered me with many blessings and favour. The best was when He gave me a place in SMU and sent many good friends who helped me along life's journey. Thank you God!!

I can't help but share the good news with you. If not, I am not doing justice to all the friendships that I share with you.

Jesus, You are the reason I live (",)

Firstly, I had a bad morning to start with. Oh well, shit happens. So heck it, WHATEVER. Yeah its just in the purposes of God. Hmm..

Lets move on to something more cheery and happy. Haha I am wearing a shocking pink shirt. Isn't that shocking?? I seldom wear pink at all. It was shocking to my parents, when I walked down the stairs today, they were like "gurl, are you ok? Why are you wearing smth so loud? So unlike you!!" Bleah~ I dun have a choice coz the gurls in my LTB grp wanna wear pink. I think the pink I am wearing is the loudest among them. Haha it cannot get louder than this... trust me on this. Oh man!! that sucks, that means I am gonna be the limelight. Hehe.. WHATEVER.

Something amazing happended last week. Praise the Lord. I walked all the way to the mrt station when suddenly I had the inclination my SMU pass was lost. I searched throughly in my bag hoping it was there, but to no avail. I told my friend, nvm, I doubt I can ever find it. It was $35 vs $0. As wise as I am.. Haha I walked all the way back to school. Praise the Lord, a construction worker picked it up and returned to the library counter. Isn't God good?? DEFINITELY....

Yeah I have no school for this whole week. Sadly I have a term paper due the following week. I have no drive, mood, inspiration to write it. I better stop PROCRASTINATING.. before I realise it is too late and end up sacrificing on my sleep.

So bored. In the library all alone. Waiting for my groupmates to come. Its time to get down to preparations for our LTB presentation... and yay the moment I am waiting for.. Haha bridge and more bridge.

Ok peace out...
Till then...
God bless

Uh-oh Here I Go Again..

I know I am supposed to be studying for Statistics, but I am just bored and distracted.

Yeha..next week, there's only class on Monday. Yup, the other time is FREE FREE FREE. Thats mean no waking up at 630. Then again, its not all freedom and no work... RMSS Term Paper and Comms presentation are due on the following week. Oh my, the scary word "exams" is banging on the door once again, its here to add stress to life. haha

Anyway, anyone reading this entry knows anything about Research Methods and Social Science? I need help!!! Barely surviving...

I am so blessed to have the Zees as my teammates for LTB. The bonds and friendship that we have built over the past 3 months will definitely go a long way. United we stand, divided we fall.

Ok.. back to stats.. before I start to feel sleepy and lose all concentration powers.

An Update of the Past Week

Yeah it has been a hectic week since last last Saturday (15th October) till this week (20th October). So many events going on. Hardly had the time to sleep or even go swimming this week. I think I must looked like a zombie, but oh well, I had to reccuperate on Friday so I felt a whole lot better.

Boy, am I glad I managed to choke up 80 Hours for my CIP. Haha so proud of myself. (Pat pat on the back). It wasn't that bad...

On Sat 15th Oct. It was JYCSS flag day. It's been donkey years since I have gone out to sell flags. Some people were so generous with their donations. I pray God will bless them abundantly. It was literally like begging. I made a promise to myself, I will donate to every flagsellers I meet in future. Selling flags is no joke. It was hard work but neverthless it was fun.

Oh blimey, I am so glad our LTB event is over. At Last!!! I am thankful for those friends of mine that came to support me and also our event. I love you guys. Its a joy to see those smiles on the residents' faces. Finally, its great to see my Professor smiling and showing his pleasure at our event.

Lastly, I wanna thank God. He caused circumstances to upset our plans.. cause He wants the best for us. Thank you God for ur faithfulness and Your unfailing love. He has become more real in my life.

At the end of the day, its all about touching lives and making an impact in people's life. Bringing the message of joy, hope and peace to hearts that are troubled.

These 2 fulfilling events have definitely left an indelible mark in my life.

Just wondering...........

What a long day!!! I slept at 930 last night, and woke up at 7 this morning. My mum came in and thought I was sick. It was a miracle.. I never slept so ealry before, not even in my primary school days. Amazing!!! Neverthless, I feel brain dead. I just don't feel like doing anything.

Recently, I took a personality test. The results showed that I love people and their feelings and moods matter a lot to me. I am extremely communicative and extroverted, scoring like 90 out of 100 for both categories. I am definitely a right-brain person, thats where all the creative juices are stored. Ideas.. ideas and more ideas...

On my way home today, in the train, this lady was reading a book. The two men were fascinated with her book, and they started peering closer to read. i guess she got so fed up, she decided to put the book nearer to each of them. It was an entertaining ride, trying to interpret their body language. Yeah I must say I have been guilty of that too. have you? I am sure you have? Hahaharz...

Yesterday, i went to get something at the supermarket. The words on the label tin were in Chinese. I could not read.. how embarrassing. I approached a china lady for help, with that china accent, it made it all worse. Eventually, I understood what she was saying. I can bet with you, I was not taught how to read those words in my primary and secondary school days. So it's not my fault, if I don't know how to read it.

I am just wondering, why are strangers always talking to me? Do I look like an over-friendly person, who will talk to any Tom, Dick or harry... haha

Look on the bright side of life...

Time is just flying past my humdum school life. Its already the 6th week of school. Wow.. oh man, It  feels like Monday, but the week is going to end soon.

I don't like it when I am not in control of situations. It gets tough when it comes to decision making. You tend to be afraid of the word "hope." Everything becomes meaningless. So what is left, I guess is to pray, coz I know my God will not leave me dying in the pits.

I learnt that it takes all sorts of people to make this world. Learning to work with people of opposite character to you is a challenge.

Anyway, I have a crapload of work to do. I feel the demands as an SMU student are very high. They are aiming to be one of the world-class universities at the expense of us, students.

I shall not complain further, and be thankful I can enter a uni, and at least I have a chance to study for the last 16 years.

It was by chance we met and by choice we became FRIENDS

Last Monday, I was supposed to have a farewell dinner with Jie Lin and Sally before they left for Uk. Sadly, due to forseen weather I could not get to Herren without getting drenched. By the time I reached, it would be too late for Jie Lin as she was boarding the 8' o clock bus to KL. Ah!! so sad.. we planned it like way in advance to meet!!!

She's leaving on the 24th of Sept.. which is next Saturday at midnight. I really hope I can send her off.
Jie Lin.. one of the sweetest girl I have known. It's great working with her, she is this sweetie with a soft and gentle spirit. I have never seen her getting angry before. She is always so cheeful, having this bright smile on her face. Yeahz.. she is one of my good friends... gonna miss her. If I had gone Southamptom, I would be studying with her. I felt bad because I asked her to join me there, and I am not going in the end. Haha... who knows.. I might go there for an Exchange Programme. (Maybe.. anything is possible)

Yeahz... everyone is going their separate ways. We were all once strangers, coming from different places, met, and now its time to say goodbye.. haha and the cycle begins again.

Yeahz.. so far i have no qualms about my uni friends.. they are a fun bunch and easy to get along with.
