two cents' worth
just finished reading The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. thought-provoking, simple yet powerful comtemporary American fable. i was in tears halfway through the book. it's really effective in evoking a profound sense of nostalgia too. some interesting quotes from the book:
"All endings are also beginnings. We just dont know it at the time.""Strangers are just family you have yet to come to know.""No life is a waste; the only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.""Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else.""Holding anger is a poision. It eats you from inside. We think that hatred is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves."

everyone's talking about it. yea i shall mention it nonetheless: the much dreaded O level results are gona be released on MONDAY. hmm, people actually have more confidence in me than i have in myself and i should just stop being silly.
had a little reminiscing session today (: suddenly thought of listing down the 'classic moments' of A13:
1. peyyann's disgusting burrrrp being mistakened for nigel's
2. jamie's melodious yet comical laughter
3. jamie's horrifying scream that reverberates through everyone's ears
4. wenyen's ridiculous reason for not climbing over the seats in LTs: she's a demure lady
5. brandon's shirt getting dirtied during almost every break
6. christopher's essential need during a trip to london - in-flight movie screening
7. "Class, don'ttt warry abouttt the topic of CCCColddddd War" -- our beloved S.T
8. "Market economy is also known as laser-fair (laissez faire)" -- econs lecturer
okay thats all i can think of for now. im absolutely sure there are manymanymany more to that so hope to add on to the list soon! :D
He is my potter and i am the clay
breathe into my soulspirit of Godfill my life with Your presencehide under Your shadowdwell in Your secret placeit's You i long to knowthere have been rumours that O level results are gona be out soon. i would be lying if i said it doesnt bother me at all, but the service today reminded me once again that i shall walk by faith for God will mould me into someone he wants me to be. He is never closer to me than when i am in the furnace of life (:oh yes dramafaste was over two nights ago! suuuuperb job, yuqin yuen py sheryl el ((: who cares about apoo..i mean apollo! haha.
to be spiritually big

happy chinese new year! ((:
it's me again
i feel queer these days.
maybe it's just me. the impatient, unthinking side of me who heads for trouble without considering the possibility of any dire consequences.
enemy 1, friend 0. game over.
maybe i asked for it.
people tell me to ignore it cos it's unworthy of my attention, but i just cant bring myself to act nonchalent about it. alright, then before this blows over, something else pops up.
this time i admit i AM thinking a bit too much. ack.
pastor john's service today touched me so deeply that i almost felt i could forgive immediately, but that was before i realised it isn't as simple as i thought. Oh God i screwed things up just after i vowed not to.
_____________________________________________
well that sounded like a really nonsensical interlude. haha i should do that more often to straighten out my thoughts. anyway chinese new year is just round the corner! going for some shopping later. my wardrobe needs a makeover! the festive season definitely perks me up.
you light up my life! ((:
look beyond ourselves
we had some sort of 'personal/class reflection time' during projectwork-turned-CTsession today and i couldnt help but be overwhelmed by a flood of emotions. caiyu and jamie started crying even before we started! at that moment i had the urge to do the same. it's quite impossible to put my mixed feelings into words now.
to live and let live. to forgive and to be forgiven.
chris and peyyann did a wonderful job with our
class blog! in the nick of time really (: tmr we're gona paint the cny banner, and the fortune cookies are on their way too i hope.
