a particle accelerator eh?
cool!
one day e world will go BOOM!
hahaha.
which reminds me of an econs question today.
my fren's answer from e tutor is tat in e VERY long run e donut industry will close down when a health report is issued stating tat donuts increase heart failure.
but y close down?
coz in e VERY VERY VERY long run, e world will go BOOOM!
hahahaha.
den of coz no more donuts lor.
talking bout donuts and heart disease,
my heart hurted real bad jus now.
but only during my weekly jog.
tats soo strange.
nvr felt so constricted b4...
n jus when i was discussing bout medics n CPR this morn.
so weird.
haha
n my msn cant work, tats weird too.
hmmmm,
was unproductive today
wanted to do more tutorials but since feng came over to hav a chat n kope some games.
i kinda lost interest.
clarified and sorted out lotsa things.
n who says tat frens dun hav issues.
well, i think someone said i hav alot more arguments with someone else den tat somebody.
haha really?
wow i really do argue alot ya?
sry arr...
but hey,
arguments draw ppl closer.
perhaps tats y im close to that someone else.
coz i argue alot.
well...
since i argue tat much,
so much grieving n disappointment arises,
y am i not forsaken?
it was so easy to back den.
there were many reasons for us to go our separate ways.
perhaps...
perhaps,
we chose to believe in each other.
n without tat trust,
its hard to go forth without encouragement.
without ppl to share ur burdens and ur joy.
i thank e Lord,
for such blessings in my life.
thanks, somebody n tat somebody else.
Timing is e key!
today's dance was uber tough, yet easy!
beginner's class we touched up on our rhythm.
our internal counting n stuff like tat.
tat was really easy.
oh n we learnt e 'closed hold' plus e turn-around!
hmm den in e competitor's class, it was totally crazy.
we learnt e hardest step in rumba, which is e Spiral!
had to twirl 360 degrees on 1 feet!
n like,
only e PROs could do it magnificently.
everyone else jus twirled n lose balance.
gotta work on tat.
n my spot turn!
oh, we also learnt e hand movements for e basic steps.
feels like some birds flapping their wings.
really graceful...
but hard to incorporate...
yeah den we had a mini MAF celeb aft tat!
but too bad Saffie (or Samantha Anne Francis) couldnt join in e mini fun coz she had to go back to e hall to paint banners.
oh well, but we had fun trying to light sparklers as we walked up e tall hill towards Nanyang House before our class started!
so in e end was left with me, Joseph n KaiXuan to enjoy our little coffee flavoured mooncake from Ipoh!
n yeah though i dun like coffee, but it was really uniquely flavoured!
n really nice too!
n I bought a BIG BIG bottle of green tea to compliment it too!
n we had a candlelight supper, literally.
played with more sparklers too!
n we were like supposed to carry our lanterns ard!
but i guess we had no time.
so in e end we were jus distributed our lanterns, together with tat bright orangey plastic stick!
i can still remem last time we use those wooden ones.
n it seems more 'high-tech'!
took some snapshots with my hp:
this would be e last stub of e candle.
tats my dance partner aft she tried to take a sneakshot of me n this was my revenge!
n tats another fren i met in DSA.
pro dancer who danced for his hall in his first yr.
yep he's a yr 2
ERRM... n this would be e Sunkist Serene Smile!!!
taken from last thurs when we ate at Ichiban!!!
n frankly, e ginger chicken was fantastic too k?
too bad SOMEONE doesnt like e taste of ginger.
or din even notice tat word when SOMEONE ordered it.
oh well, tats wat happens when hunger drives u to make decisions.
as long as its food, its edible...
rite?
haha
phew, ytd slept at 4am while doing my tuts for wed.
n configuring tat new phone.
really cool!
5MP!
den again,
its not mine.
hahaha.
slim, sleek and powerful!
n now i gtg prepare my tuts for fri!
so tat i'll be free to finish my other camp commitments n study for tat quiz on fri.
n not forgetting to prepare earlier for my lab nxt week.
so tat i can go in n sign attendance n print stuff n staple into my logbook n off i go!!!
wonder how long i'm gonna take to finish.
each lab costs me at least 4 to 6 hours!
when they give u only a 2hr time span..
zzz.
i still got some leftover sparklers.
anyone wanna play!?
^-^

another 2am post
tats so weird.
feels like a habit to me already.
really tired today tat i had to skip church in e evening.
but well,
i had a gd lunch at cafe cartel at IMM today.
learnt lotsa stuff from uncle roland, David's father.
well, he cooks.
or rather, he cooks FANTASTIC MEALS!
well, jus judging from e experience he portrayed,
n erm, e size of his children,
i can see tat ppl really love his cooking.
n like its so impresive how from jus one stare of e food,
he is able to reverse-engineer how e food was being cooked,
n can even suggest methods to improve / improvise!
totally amazed!
not only tat, he taught abit of fine dining etiquette to yujie today too!
yeah, n we actually had a de-boning session of pork ribs today!
haha.
simply lovely!
oh n like,
i like e bakerzin mini snowskin mooncakes!
not e alcoholic ones though.
it looks really nice n presentable!
havent really eaten a mooncake for a longtime.
i still remem last yr i was celebrating with roy at e erm, park near his house.
n like e yrs before tat when he was still living in bukit panjang.
we'd go to e park near our house, walk ard with those lanterns.
create a rocket of sparklers like we've been doing for yrs!
haha yeah n they really fly high like many storeys high!!!
with a trail of sparks at its tail.
den we'll play with sparklers.
throw them real far when its about to die out.
looks like a shooting star!
miss those times too.
ok back to where i was,
yeah, havent been eating mooncakes.
coz i used to believe tat they choke up my arteries!!!
n there u hav Clement saying tat we shd enjoy wat e Lord has provided for us.
yeah i can see tat he does enjoy,
his mini tummy is living proof of it.
n he doesnt even care much bout it!
amazed!
mayb i shd try tat western food at NIE n get a tummy too!
hhahaa.
yeah, this week's gonna b hellish for me.
2 quizes:
1 on mon, 1 on fri.
n my lab is still unfinished!
left tat last question which kept me sleepless for 4plus hours 2 nights ago.
n like, i gotta prepare exhortation, n e timetable, and e postcards, and e camp booklet all by this sat!
GAWRSH.
im soooo dead.
so much to do, so little time to spare.
cant really have time to enjoy n sleep these days.
eyebags becoming blacker.
since im poor, perhaps i gotta resort to cucumbers rather den expensive lotions
but den again,
i dun hav e time to even do tat!
haha.
oh well...
Jonathan...
one step at a time ok?
take things slowly but surely. (ok this phrase reminds me of 'Eyes on me')
but yeah,
im surviving each day by God's grace.
Higher ground, dear all!!!

BBQ~
really missed the hotdogs...but well
we ate more den jus normal hotdogs!
got cheese hotdogs, 'imitation' cheese hotdogs, chicken hotdogs!
hahah.
stingray!
crabmeat...
mushroom cheese!!!
chicken wings etc
mainly e usual stuff.
but i guess e best were e imitation cheese hotdogs!
which is like normal hotdogs with a slit den u add mozarella cheese in it!!!
i muz say its much better den e original!!!
hahaha.
love it lots.
oh n someone tried bbq those instant prata u buy from ntuc.
turned out disastrous!
n yeah,
im e fire 'reviver' again.
well, its my expertise anw.
haha, some trademark from my sec sch days.
yeah i DO love to play with fire.
im glad i havent burned down my house as of yet.
i can still remem me in p sch jus turning on e gas stove n lighting up a satay stick with it!
well, it jus amuses and amazes me with all e nitty gritty details of how it catches fire,
n jus burns with tat glow.
yeah, i love fire.
aha.
sounds weird.
anw,
i feel so retarded...
im like blogging while roy and yun feng are fast asleep.
well, wish we could get together n talk more...
i really wana chit chat with them but i guess we're all tired.
YES,
WE're all tired(including me).
i felt so crazy la
doing my lab til 6plus 7am in e morn...
but it was nice for a change.
i mean,
i havent really saw e sunrise for eons...
mayb coz i hav been waking up late every morn.
oh well, life starts e earliest at 830 for me.
so i can afford to leave home by 815.
so i wun get to see e sunrise at all...
even when i was working i guess.
however, i cant get to see a beautiful sunrise as i had hoped for.
oh well, mayb coz since i live in SENJA (translated 'sunset' in malay),
the sunsets here r prettier den e sunrise.
i jus love tat orangey hue tat bursts thru e windows ard 6plus pm...
but yeah, i wonder how e sunrise would look like in e east.
is it as spectacular?
i hope so...
yeah, n like WAll.E reminds me of something.
if we dun take time of our busy schedule n workload,
we will miss out on the finer details of life.
we wun even notice things tat r there for a long time.
but jus, dun even notice it at all...
n im glad tat somehow,
e Lord made me realise many things out in e world.
things i took for granted,
things tat were really a blessing to me.
all these amidst our busy busy lives,
travelling here and there...
working so hard.
wat's even e point of it all?
wats this flimsy paper called a degree even worth.
it'll jus turn into dust sooner or later.
but some things r there to stay.
things of this puny little world r temporal.
theres a bigger world out there.
where theres no room for regrets.
where things will stay forever.
will i be there?
im sure i will.
but will u?
i hope i'll see u all there.
(n somehow,
im being reminded when i was young,
i took pics at this artificial waterfall at Sentosa Shangri-la.
jus brings back lost memories...
i dun even noe how it resurfaced.
weird me)
anw,
im thankful for all e providence i received thus far.
blessings- both spiritual n physical- tat i was endowed with.
'i was naked, and ye clothed me. i was hungry, and ye fed me. I was tired, and ye took me in.'
I cant be more thankful den tat.
"Ebenezer..."
Saturday, 6 September 2008
ARGH!!!
tired n hungry...
its like 620am,
n i still cant find e logic behind another lab question...
but i need to sleep.
got long weekend ahead...
sigh.
oh, well,
today's dance was AWESOME!
hahaha.
music was nice too!
but since i was rather tired today,
i couldnt really concentrate on my dance.
but overall was gd i hope.
RUMBA is e bestest!!!
n like, im teaching my other frens how to dance rumba today...
zzz.
feels like an instructor all over again.
but den again,
im jus a noob,
n they r like ballet and hip hop dancers.
cant believe im teaching them.
weird.
but oh well, thank God at least i noe e steps.
jus gotta work more on my spot turn!!!
n my hand-gracefulness(if theres such a thing)
so tired...
oh wait!!!
JUS TO CLARIFY,
MY BLOGSKIN IS NOT EMO!
OR SATANIC!
OR TO SCOLD ANYONE!
coz its jus a tribute to this Character,
since theres like so little blogskins of him ard,
so y not create one?
btw, those quotes r said by 'him', not by me.
well, im jus quoting anw...
He's so called, a split personality in layman terms.
thus e word 'other', meaning its 'real' personality.
so this is just a story of him,
before he joins back to e 'original',
with his personality fading away, along with his memories.
wait, y am i even bothering to explain...
oh well.
"sleep beckons",
like wat KX said.
cant believe she still had e brain juice to do a sudoku jus now at 12am, aft sleeping at 530am last night.
*salute*
oh well, im hungry, tired and frustrated over my lab.
nitez world~

'Zonked'biefied
n finally means finally a Roxas skin.
anw, saving e details for later,
WALL.E was superb!
tats like e best movie in this present age tat uses nonverbal communication to convey messages and meaning.
glad i watched it.
its jus so amazing how tat 'magical touch' can bring one(or it) to go as far as to a whole new world, to endeavour all odds. even for such an AI like it.
reminds me of a line from a song,
"This innocence is brilliant, i hope that it will stay... (its so beautiful, it makes you wanna cry)"
For such a simple-minded being like Wall.E...
to appreciate everything he has even though he was alone on that world.
well not really alone, but rather with his pet Xiao Qiang which it squeeshed many times.
A definitely recommended watch.
feel like watching it again...

Specimen Letter 1: 'A letter from bobo to bebe'
I still remember the time you said that it would lessen your guilt if i moved on right? I guess now would be the time (if the guilt was ever still there).
I must say, this letter has been rather late in arriving at your doorstep but nevertheless it was needful for this letter no matter what the consequences may befall or the future that beholds us and lies in wait for us.
Truth be told, I have decided to let go. It just ain't fair for the both of us. This creates lesser stress and tension betwixt us two. Holding on has no purpose for me when I can't even be encouraged by it even as I progress on life's journey. There is no hope in it too. In fact, it might even worsen the relationship that we have now. Besides that, I believe it would impact you in ways unmeasurable. Impacts that I might never know of, be it beneficial or detrimental.
It will definitely be difficult for me since it's hard to put down my love for someone who loved me just as much. But for our sakes, it just has to be done. It might take a long while before it might even be complete but that is the direction that God has shown me through the people around me and their testimonies. And yes, God's way is the best way for us right now. Initially I wanted to grow stronger for you. It was to better protect you, for you to better rely on me, for you to trust me more and share your cares and sorrows. Yes, it was all for your sake at that time. I wanted to grow stronger for you and to be more secure. That was why I began to assume more responsibilities, that I may learn from it and grow in the process. But I guess, that should not have been my main driving point. I can't place my hope on
You were never not-good-enough-for-me in my eyes. You taught me many things, many important lessons of love and of life. I still believe that you were more than what I had wanted, no matter what you think. Please do not compare yourself to the others. No matter how good you think they were, I would still have chosen you and you would have already known why. And no, you were never self-centred. All these while I always know and have experienced that you care alot about me, more then yourself. I have never once thought of you as being selfish, but in fact, you gave me more then I could ask for. You will definitely say that I gave much more to this relationship but to me, it was all my reasonable service, it was never classified as 'Sacrifice'. It was my way of saying that I do love you too.
I must really thank you for all those sweet and precious memories of us, together. All those special moments that will never ever leave my sea of memory. All the silent encouragement I received from you all this while. And all those times when you stayed by my side, reassuring me that you were there with me. To know that you were happy with just me by your side. I'm thankful for the times you put me down when I feel egoistic, for the times we chatted 'til nightfall, for all the sorrows and tears that led us together, for the times where I could smell your garlic-breath, for the times you put the phone to Pinklet and expecting it to answer. (The list is inexhaustive and it'll go on forever.) Lastly, I want to thank you for loving me so so so much to sacrifice for me. But I'm glad to have had you. Even though its hard not to think back upon it, to want to go back to those times again, but I must say that I too do cherish them and will keep them close to my heart. It will be tough, it will hurt, alot, it may hurt like there's no tomorrow, to know that your hand is not in mine, that I can't give you that tightly-squeezing hug, and that I can't be by your side anymore, but I guess it's the only way out for us now.
I am pretty happy too that you have been enjoying these times with your family and your newly found friends. It just gives me more conviction and reason to let go since I can't do much more for you anymore. I'm glad to see you happier this way. But I just want to say, please do not forsake God for my sake if it were ever so. And I also do want to apologize for the many spams in your handphone inbox for the past few weeks. Please hate me if it makes you feel better too.
Though our paths may never cross again, I'm glad that we were once happy together. I am contented as well. The future looks bleak for us but I may be wrong. Only God knows what His plan is for us. But never one day, will you be kept from being in my prayers.
I am going to end here with one song to top it off. Its the way I look at you:
What makes you different
You don’t run with the crowd
You go your own way
You don’t play after dark
You light up my day
Got your own kind of style
That sets you apart
Baby that’s why you’ve captured my heart
I know sometimes you feel
Like you don’t fit in
And this world doesn’t know
What you have within
When I look at you
I see something rare
A rose that can grow anywhere
And there’s no one I know that can compare
Chorus:
What makes you different
Makes you beautiful
What’s there inside you
Shines through to me
In your eyes I see all the love I’ll ever need
What makes you different makes you beautiful to me
You’ve got something so real
You touched me so deep
The material things
Don’t matter to me
So come as you are
You’ve got nothing to prove
You won me with all that you do
And I wanna take this chance to say to you
You don’t know how you’ve touched my life
Oh there’s so many ways, I just can’t describe
You taught me what love is supposed to be
It’s all the little things that made you beautiful to me
----------------------------------------------------
Thank you Dearie for all that you've done.
^-^
Love,
Bobo "
Sunday, 31 August 2008
these 2 days were ups n downs!
hmm lets see,
fri was rather monotonous in e morn.
woke up late...
but den,
it didnt make a diff even if i was late for e tutorial!
coz e baka tutor forgot to come for it!!!!
den like we waited n waited n waited...
all e way til e last 30mins den some guy called her.
so in e end we'll hav a real fast-paced 2-in-1 tutorial nxt fri!
n like computer system lec was totally clueless!
something bout virtual memory.
couldnt catch anything.
gotta read up more more.
den aft tat went to library to mug out e lab for mon.
in e end i managed to complete only 1 program out of 5!
n like it took me ard 1hr + to finish it.
GAWRSH.
n like e actually lab is 2hrs long.
no time for it at all!
den aft tat i rushed down for DSA aft a dinner with my dance partner (KX).
den like we went to Nanyang House only to find e dance prac being shifted to some Hall 6 Function Hall!
(btw, e Nanyang House was totally shabby for some 'artsy' building, unlike Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music in NUS..
n like there wasnt much ppl at e revision last nite.
but still,
we had a heck of a time(of fun) trying to perfect our dance steps!
yep,
we really had fun while dancing!
n we were feeling very 'accomplished' having correctly executing e steps!
n guess wat!
we were 'chosen' and 'encouraged' to join e competition class!!!
how cool is tat!!!!
somehow e president set his eyes on us!
n he kept looking our way whenever we practised!
n he even increased e tempo of e music jus for us!
haha.
*thrilled*
so yeah,
we'll think about it in e meanwhile.
its still a 50/50 chance for both of us to enter in.
if kx joins, i'll join in too!
Sure to be fun!!!
yeah den aft tat went home to mug again.
this time, it took me 6 hrs frm 9pm to 3am to try to figure out e rest of e questions!
n like i was basically stuck at e 4th.
grrrrrr.
btw, my lab questions this coming mon(n every other mon) are not even covered in e lectures yet!
so gotta self study n DIY!
tats y im having a wee bit of difficulty in it.
so yeah, today im totally mentally exhausted!
im pretty amazed i passed my FTT this morn!
n like i had only 1 or 2 nights to study it!
Praise e Lord!
=]
den aft tat rush home to try thinking thru my lab ques but to no avail...
den rushed down to YPF today.
n tats where my bike got scratched by Bernice's car nudging it...
='(
but yeah, its jus a bike...
its inanimate!
den aft tat i rushed down to Kuan Wee's Bday party at CCK.
hahaa,
well, i basically din do much there except for finding out e trick to tat lab ques.
WHICH WAS FINALLY SOLVED!!!
thanks to tat programming pro lecture-mate of mine!
haha.
[yeah i noe im crazy, doing sch work at a party!]
den aft tat went to Shell to top up petrol with V-Power!
coz they had some special promo where V-Power is e same price as 98!
haha
btw, tml's last day from 7pm to 11pm only!
so grab it fast while stocks last!
oh n one more sad thing happened.
my bike fell over when i was like trying to pump air into e tyres!
my heart almost skipped a beat again.
n den,
e back tyre jus refused to be pumped!
somehow e air jus doesnt even get in.
n tat resulted me in a flat tyre.
so no choice,
tried it at another petrol kiosk ard my house n it finally worked!
(albeit it being rather 'mian qiang')
oh well.
now im home,
im gonna work out tat lab ques!!!!
ARGH!!!

new move 2:
girl does a Spot turn,
both facing front,

like wat i always say.
"gd things muz wait!"
Tuesday, 26 August 2008
hahaha.
oh well,
jus woke up after a myriad of dreams.
really dreamt alot today.
(and drooled too)
GAWRSH,
y am i even writing tat down.
haha
ok
i initially wanted to blog down wat i saw in my dreams
incase i'll forget them in future.
but i guess...
if those dreams are meant to stay,
it will.
n mayb 1 day,
i'll b reminded of it all again.
these dreams are all chained together.
including those tat i had ard a week back.
so i guess, with at least one dream still stuck in my head,
e rest would follow along.
is this wat they call e chain of memories?
i nvr knew i could dream so much though
i nvr did

Bitter Virgin!
SERIES ENDED!!!

wish there was more...
e last book would b e climax of the entire story...
but i wonder y it was ended this way...
wasnt supposed to end this way...
perhaps its jus seeming for such a 'bitter' book like this.
tat semi-happy ending...
lots of would-be-cliche moments that turn out diff with a twist.
but i agree, overall it was a gd series.
cant get enough of it...
cant get it out of my head...

ok lah, i might b a noob, but at least i was partially 'trained' too k!
n yeah,
i admire and appreciate music.
n i would say,
it was gd.
i guess my fav piece was part of e 'Fifth Suite for Band (International Dances)':
the 4th piece named 'Hora' (Romanian / Israeli).
i would say it was one of e best performance tat night.
somehow it was diff from e other pieces.
i mean not generally, with all e diff tunes n all,
but jus tat, e performance was diff.
West winds (from Bukit Batok CC [not BBDC])played well in this piece.
mayb coz they had lotsa experience too.

my knees cant take it anymore.
perhaps no more martial arts for me in future.
im not sure.
yeah,
sadly i cant join since im from ntu,

Thursday, 21 August 2008
hey dude, my condolences to u...
but yeah, im sure u'll get over it, well perhaps much better den me though.
haha.
well, its hard when u've tasted heaven and fall down to hell aft it.
so i guess, mayb it was better for u this way.
Advice 1: Purpose
so one thing i've learnt from e others is tat, u hav to know wat ur purpose in the r/s is.
n frm my past experiences, i nvr really knew wat my purpose was when i wanted to enter one.
was it to feel 'whole' in e flesh?
so that u'll not b lonely?
tat could have been wat i was thinking, though those were long way back...
n yeah, when i found mine, my purpose, i muz say tat i somehow failed to do my part...
to secure her spiritual health...
tats one thing i regret.
Advice 2: Patience
"Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord."
1 Cor 11:11
I'm sure someday He'll grant u ur better half.
so b patient and wait.
I've found mine without even looking for it.
He granted it to me when i was thinking, 'Im gonna kiss dating goodbye'.
its really hard to find someone who loves u jus as much as u love her too.
So jus wait for His time.
im waiting too...
Yep,
thats all e encouragement i can give...
e rest, u jus hav to find it out on ur own.
but i must say too,
nvr give up...
even if its hard...
well, for me, aft readin much of 1John today,
i felt really bad...
it speaks to both me n her...
"8Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
9He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now."
1John 2: 8 - 9
"20If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?"
1John 4: 20
this... speaks to me, directly.
before i met her, i nvr really loved my family.
or even tried to.
although i knew about it, i nvr really worked for it.
until i saw how loving her family was.
tat really encouraged me alot.
and i muz say, i was very much successful with her encouragement.
but now that shes not here,
am i returning to my old ways?
even as im writing this,
im pretty sure i shouted at my parents jus now.
am i still hating some members of my family?
if so, im still in darkness...
im a liar too...
i love not God...
God forbid.
n it hurts to rebuke in love too...
I remembered 1 thing my Brader asked me...
"If u had a chance, would u rather have not loved, than to love?"
Immediately,
tears flowed down my face.
n nope Brader,
it wasnt a stupid question.
It's just tat i didnt noe how to answer u.
but now i noe how to.
n yeah, im still thankful for e encouragement i received that helped me even til this day.
i was really changed.
spiritual walk revived and strengthened.
i could not hav overcame it w/o her.
i wanted to become stronger to better take care of her.
but now, she says im too fervent for her.
was it all for naught?
i dun think so.
i gotta live out my promise, to be stronger.
n promises are not meant to b broken.
n yeah, i believe i could nvr find another as caring n thoughtful as her who was willing to sacrifice herself for my sake.
tats wat agape love is all about.
so Sam,
dun give up on love,
me neither.
wait for His time,
be patient,
and sort out all infirmities in e meanwhile.
nvr stop trusting in the changing power of the Lord.
May the Lord be with u n comfort u
Post 200: Basking in the warmth of the sun, reaching out for the moon that hangs low or chasing tat fleeting shooting star
i cant believe i've blogged so much in e couple of years.
3 yrs plus to b exact (or not)
one thing tat kept me thinking when i was jogging was wat me n Sam agreed on.
this jog represents our lifelong struggle.
be it spiritual, or jus mental.
if we decide to walk halfway between the jog,
it would b futile...
it feels as if, we're giving up hope.
"I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:"
1Cor9:26
so yeah, I run with hope n knowledge too!
n faith!
was thinking about much random stuff when I ran,
very quirky stuff like,
y do ppl say tat u can see the shape of a rabbit on the moon...
den like wat, when u point at e moon, u feel a prick at ur ear.
all e funny funny stuff.
guess im kinda gd at thinking random stuff too ya?
oh dun forget im e Prince of 'thinking-too-much'.
undisputed King goes to Yun Feng!
n talking about random stuff,
reminds me of random variables which in turn reminds me of
Binomial, Poisson and Negative Binomial,
which reminds me tat,
my C Maths n F Maths is with Ee Chuang!!!
gotta retrieve it back soon to revise!
n oso tat normal dist, t dist, chi-square dist, bla bla bla.
which in turn reminds me of 'tai chi'(passing e work ard) in army,
which in turn reminds me tat May Ann says i teach Tai Chi in army,
and also her saying wat, i took a TP test to become a Traffic Police...
*totally 'huh?' rite?*
GAWRSH,
this list can like expand forever...
im so full of crap,
yeah which reminds me of my cousin getting swollen lips aft eating crabs,
ARGH!!!
STOP IT JON LEE!
*hang myself*
yay, tml im supposed to hav 2 hrs of lectures from 930 to 1130am.
however, due to e union day or something like tat,
there r no lessons frm 1030am to 230pm!
so those who hav all their lessons in between need not come sch at all!
nvm, i only skipped 1 lecture, fortunately it isnt JAVA PO-GWAMMING,
if not im screwed.
tats like something not to be missed out on!
oh wells, its pretty late le.
gotta stop here since like i only had 4 hrs of sleep ytd.
yeah tried to sleep at 2, but i slept at ard 3.12am instead,
waking up at 7.15am,
and having my long day today from 830am to 630pm.
its not something worth trying or going thru.
cant believe i actually had enough energy to go thru e day n ponder over lectures n do tutorials and even go for a jog!
I MUST B CRAZY!
oh well,
nitez to all who read this soon,
morning to all who read this in e not-so-soon future,
and afternoon to all who read this in the not-tat-far future.
yeah, ok im spouting nonsense again.
cant believe i cant remem wat Gravitational constant is...
oh well, bye all!
happy 200th post anniversary.
ahaha,
i guess i dun hav much anniversaries to celeb now, do i?
Wednesday, 20 August 2008
Had lotsa dreams these few days, n it kept making me wake up at odd times like 4+am, 6.32am, 8+am, etc...
Well, 2 nights ago too..
same thing happened.
wierd.
i nvr had such things happen to me b4.
oh, i was supposed to meet Kevin for lunch today but well, he asked me out at 1230, when my lessons were at 330, so i figured out tat i was rather lazy, and would rather spend my time at home doing QT n tutorials den meet him n wonder wat to do for e remaining 2 hrs since we could only meet for 1 hr.
n home feels much better den sch when everyone is out.
peace n quietness.
n like i had only 2 lectures today, aft which i ate some $2 murtabak whish is e same size as a regular prata(totally not worth it).
den i did abit of maths tutorial b4 heading for the welcome tea for e Visual Arts Society at 630.
met WeiLiang to go together but in e end we both had to leave at 7 cause he had a steamboat to go for, while me...
I went for e Dance Sport Academy Welcome Tea instead!
well it was much more fun den e VAS one as u dun hav to sit in a lecture hall to hear them talk about e club aft starting 15mins late.
yeah, we danced!!!
Cha cha cha and rumba!
one is e fast dance n e other is e slow one.
both were fun!!!
Den we watched e Team Singapore dancers perform.
totally WOW!
our jaws were all dropping.
cant believe they were our seniors!
they performed Samba [something like Salsa('hot' dance)]
den the Cha cha cha (more 'cheeky' dance as they said)
den nxt was Paso Doble (dunno wat it means)
den next was Rumba (the slow and passionate dance)
lastly was the Jive (something like American Swing, fun n energetic!)
Den aft tat, they asked for 5 to 7 couples up to e dance floor n e winner gets free membership worth $35!!!
n yeah i got it!!!
WHEE~
hahaha, together with my partner too!
cause we were actually hesitating to go up initially,
but yeah,
oh well, in e end we mustered enough courage to go.
n guess wat,
all e couples who went up all got it!
hahaha,
so this does not mean i dance well.
but yeah,
$35!
hahah
but it was really fun!
n yeah, now she's kinda my unofficial dance partner!
hope we can go far into e world of dancing!
seems real fun!
n yeah, it all ended at ard 915pm.
n now aft chionging my Econs tutorial,
its 2am!
argh, gotta go sleep.
tml got lectures starting 830am, ending 630pm...

Saturday, 16 August 2008
n its like so round!
but den, its not as big n bright as tat time i saw...
but it was gd enough. =]
this kinda reminded me of tat niu lang n zhi nu story.
well, cant relate to tat anymore.
hmm, today's leaders' meeting was rather gd.
well, shared lots, heard lots, planned lots, prayed lots.
but yeah, i cant believe im gonna be 'there'.
as in, yeah,
cant believe im actually gonna take up this time to serve.
well, n its really thanks to someone close to me.
jus coz of e presence of tat person,
yep, jus e presence itself,
has really motivated me much.
if absence was ever to happen,
it'll become much harder for me, but im still gonna strive to work hard,
despite e presence or absence.
coz either way,
i still gotta grow stronger. rite?
yep, so i cant lose hope now, cant i?
n yeah, i cant believe i did an e-brake ytd nite while going vivo, really SCARY!
tats y, folks, bikes r SCARY!
dun ever try to take up bike lessons, esp u, SAM!
i knew e risk, yet i went for it.
coz i noe my consequences.
n this has really got me thinking,
if i ever was to go prematurely in an accident,
wat would happen at my funeral.
hahah
will there b ppl gloating, scolding, regretting, crying, smiling?
or will there even b ppl there at all.
oh well, lets jus hope i go silently.
=]
n i hope no one will noe.
but yeah, death is nth to me now.
coz i noe where im going,
it has lost its sting.
okok enough of death talk.
haha.
later ppl think i super emo n suicidal
sheeesh~

n no, i dun eat e fish tat i catch!
btw, YES, i DO eat seafood k!
jus lazy to eat it only.
so dun suan me with tat!

Medley of songs in my head~ WHEE
if anyone can guess this right:
I'll treat him/her something or give a present!
the question is...
*drumroll*
*scroll down to see*
Here's my medley of songs! Very confirmed that no one can figure out e song title n singer at 1st glance!
besides, e tune not tat nice de.
haha
It's hard to say goodbye
It hurts to be alone
And all that is left is a memory
To love and to keep as a part of me
It's you, no one else but you
Say what can I do
I miss you so
We will meet again
Far beyond the stormy weather
Far beyond the cloudy skies
We will meet again
When we do we will last forever
When we do we will stay together
You and me
We were meant to be
In perfect harmony
But every day that goes by is reminding me
There're so many things that you left with me
You see every little thing
Has it's own story
You gave me so much affection
I'm so lucky that once I got to know you
It was hard for me to say it
But I totally adored you
Is life fair
I'll never stop believing
Our time will come
Because there must be a meaning
I believe in love
I believe two hearts
Can learn to beat as one
And I believe
I believe that time
Can tie your soul to mine
I see the doubt there in your eyes
But I believe
I know you're scared
I understand
Please take my word
And take my hand
What is the title of the song tat i sang for my Talentime?
heee.
got prize de eh!!!
hurry hurry come guess!
Thursday, 14 August 2008
Ahh, I feel very burdened to write something down.
Once again, im getting a myriad of feelings.
A huge mixture of them.
It’s really impossible to list them all down.
Its like there's sorrow with joy,
Hope with despair,
I cant even sieve out all my feelings.
But yeah, I did hav a lot of time time aft lectures.
In fact, im still in sch…
N it was really worth my time sitting down in e library, finishing those pesky tutorials,
N reading His Word.
N finishing tat Self Evaluation list for this sat’s Leaders’ meeting.
N im telling u tat its really not easy.
Perhaps today is e time of spiritual turmoil for me.
Hebrews 4:11-16
11Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
tough tough.
so pls, send me words of encouragement too.
i'll totally need it.
esp aft looking at the 'computer systems' tutorial n not really understanding it is a burden.
all e terms...
not forgetting java language.
urgh...
still waiting for my sis in sch...
if not i would b home at 12pm already...
zzz

decisions decisions decisions!
i stand corrected.
its not fried tofu with wasabi mayo sauce, but its aloe vera mayo sauce...
aiya, they both look green too mah,
'how was i to noe, u nvr told me~'
hmmm lotsa decisions in my mind now.
although most of them r solved le!
LAPTOP: i chose NEC e6510
well, it seemed e most top-end laptop there with e best processing n graphics power compared to e laptop of ppl whom i know.
n yeah, its cheaper den e rest too!
at e expense of its weight n batt life...
2.4kg n 3hrs..
oh well.
i do think i need it in future too.
graphics designing.
3d modeling
virtual reality
bla bla bla.
but yeah,
nxt wld b tat singtel 'talk n surf' plan.
rather gd for value.
considering my 1MBPS internet is only 45 a mth.
tat plan is combining a new student plan for phone plus 3MBPS internet plan for 43.44 a mth!
super cheap!
haha but e internet is under my name.
n my sis wants to change her hp.
wonder if tats possible though...
n next,
CCA: i've set my sights on Choir[cant sing], Visual Arts[seems fun], DanceSport Academy[fun too! but scared i'll look gay]
these r e primary few tat ive considered.
e secondary few are: ODAC, Wakeboarding[expensive!] and fencing[closest to kendo but ex too!]
ahhhhhh~
decisions decisions decisions!
btw, i jus compared the prices of ntu to nus computer deals n NTU wins!
well, ntu has more new models, some r cheaper too!
n there's Apple too! *stunned*
tml's gonna b my ultra long day.
gonna need lotsa energy.
lecture aft tut aft lecture aft tut.
n at e end comes FCM!
n its like 830am to 630pm for the lessons.
FCM is gonna be from 630pm onwards!
gawrsh~
i need energy!
n yeah,
hope i do even hav time tml in between lessons.
need to go for tat GEBEN SCE day thingy, lunch, read my book, purchase tat laptop, print notes, run ard...
ahhhh, this is e 1st wed!
theres like 14 more to come....
*faints*
Monday, 11 August 2008
these were taken on fri nite when i went to Boon Tong Kee at bukit timah rd with my mum n dad.
well, notice e unique pyramid shape of e chicken rice!
cool eh?
oh oh, i forgot to take pics of e fried tofu with wasabi mayo sauce.
simply fantastic!
oh hey BRAder, if u're seeing this,
i wanna tell u tat my way is gonna b harder den urs!
so yeah, at least u're better off with urs.
yup.
be glad, girl.
oh my,
i jus realized im like blogging every now n then.
see lah,
my blogging instincts revived too le!
but mayb its either cause i hav many words to say,
many thoughts swirling inside,
or jus too much time to spare.
n yeah, i really gotta occupy my free time with stuff to do.
everytime my mind is free, it wanders off again.
n its so hard catching it back.
haha
gotta fill it with His Word.
rite rite?
n yeah,
i completed my maths n econs tutorial le!
but den, i jus keep getting a hang of doing maths.
somehow.
haha.
weird huh?
n yeah, my graphic calc's batteries hav poofed!
need new batts!
which reminds me of tat time i did not bring a calc at all for my J2 Maths C prelims paper 2.
lolz!
had to guess all e angles like wat sin30= pi/2 or something like tat.
totally crazy.
but yeah, i did pass tat paper!
horrendously crazy.
muz b God's providence again.
n yeah, me always playing mario n shooting games on my graphic calc!
n creating all those funny images in pixels with tat drawing application.
too bad all those r all gone le.
n this reminds me next of my old phone in sec 1 n 2.
i think it was nokia 2100.
really loved it lots!
even though it was old n ugly but yeah,
e keypad LED was as bright as hell(or heaven)!
i nvr needed another torch light.
n yeah it also has this drawing application which i created numerous images on it.
creted many many, til my bro borrowed it to replace his nokia 7250 phone when he went for Bball, saying something like, "dun worry lah, ur phone so lousy, no one will want to steal de!"
BUT IT DID.
grrrr...

everywhere i go,
watever i do,
wateva i see,

this song jus came to my mind:
"Roll back the curtains of memory now and then,
show me where You've brought me from,
and where i could have been.
Remember, i'm human,
n humans forget.
So remind me,
remind me, dear Lord"
bummer.day.
totally.
woke up at 12pm tooday!
wootz~
woke up to BJ Olympics again!
badminton today. yay!.
den had to massage n pat my sis' back like a drummer.
really fun but yet tiring at e same time!
den we went to greenridge to see some eu yan sang chi practitioner coz her entire body was aching,
den i had to sit-in to listen to them talk in a foreign tongue, one which i used to noe.
den they chatted bout yao ming n stuff like tat while e doc ws prescribing her medicine.
den i could see her like re-adjusting e compilation of ingredients for e med.
looks kinda cool.
mayb yinghui could b someone like tat in future!
den i can get free discounts too!!!!
n now im back home eating a zinger student meal(finally!) which i bought like hrs ago.
n watched starship troopers 3 too!
n i totally feel like a bummer.
wanted to go kendo at NUS but they kinda said tat i couldnt participate.
so wats e use of me going down to watch if i cant join!
grrrrr.
den theres no badminton at RP today too.
so no unique exercise for me other den a usual jog tonight ba.
n yeah,
a cold zinger meal for dinner which im having now totally reminds me of e meals geeks used to hav in e past.
although they had pizza n more cola as their brain food.
n when i mean geeks, i mean those successful geeks like bill gates and tim allen and steve (something) and the other steve (something).
the 1st 2 set up Microsoft.
e latter 2 set up Apple.
n they had a life of pizza n cola everyday while writing computer programs.
well, tat might jus jolly well b my future life ba.
n yeah, i wld not hav been a bummer today if i had agreed to watch Wall.E with Serene today.
but ya, Jurong point expensive eh!
go go cathay! 6 bucks! Im a student now!!!
oh well, gtg do my econs tutorial now.
although it's like giving me a huge turn-off.
sigh.
but zinger was gd.
yum!
oh yeah, i kinda forgot this last night.
finally i saw a really starry sky atop bukit panjang while i was walking home ytd nite.
could easily count about 20+ stars den.
totally reminded me about a 'scene' that i always wanted to hav.
which led to another 'scene' of a ballroom dance which i dreamt of last night.
oh well, hope i can live out my dreams...
but it's not e dream or scene tat matters.
it's tat something else.
it's u
Be still and know that I am God!
(pls dun use the short form on me!)
These few verses have kept me thru, hope it speaks to u too!:
Romans 5:1 - 5
1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
i noe its hard for u, coz im going thru wat u're going thru.
but remem, there's 2 ways to going about it.
Remem tat email u sent?
yep.
i chose my side to go on, and i will give in my best, with extra strength from Fisherman's Friend ----> the one who teaches ppl how to b fishers of man.
n yep, persevere in prayer!
n yeah, im already forced to become ur prayer warrior,
n whether u realise it or not, someone is ALWAYS praying for you.
*sounds familiar?*
there's one thing i can only pray:
Thy Will be done!
(p.s. thx Christie for giving me hope too! Cheerios Cheerios! =] =] )

this was wat Sam messaged me on MSN.
but hmmm, no eh,
this is wat dictionary.com told me:
[this is e best looking choice out of 3]
'Anything so extraordinary as to excite wonder or astonishment; a marvel'
[n this wld b the worst case scenario]
'A production out of ordinary course of nature; an abnormal development; a monster. --B. Jonson.'
hopefully, i'll not become a prodigy,
all i jus want is to strive hard.
tats all. =]
hmmm, today struck my heart again.
insurance or assurance.
main thing i drew out from it,
is tat i jus gotta draw closer to Him.
coz its my reasonable service n sacrifice.
its part of my job.
well, i was saved to serve.
hmm, n the first 'wakeup call' i got today,
or rather, e 1st invitation to serve came today.
Herbie passed me the YPF Leaders' Retreat outline.
well, it makes me think, i've really nvr been TAT fervent at all.
honestly.
yrs ago,i wld use to think tat i wasnt ready, or perhaps,
i jus wanted to jus go church n tats all.
u noe, wat a basic slacker usually does.
but within the past 3 or 4 yrs,
i've done e YPF anni Video for 4 yrs,
be part of e camp comm for the 2nd time this yr,
1st time was 3 yrs ago i think, when i might still have been unwilling.
n coerced to become Memory Verse I/C too.
but now its YPF LEADERS!!!
but yeah, i guess,
this few months hav been my turning point in life.
n I wanna thank those who hav been especially encouraging to me.
Christie, Serene, Yun Feng, Charmian, Roy, Qi Yang and many others.
yep,
this is gonna b my 1st real step to serve Him.
n like i said, im not fervent too,
n im really scared.
im afraid.
but i noe somehow, He'll bring me thru.
*optimism revived*
*shoo shoo pessimism!*
haha.
yep, im really afraid.
but i guess i gotta do it.
so ya,
in order to endure in this quest to go stronger
im gonna need more encouragements k?
i noe its hard too,
but we gotta pull thru life's journey.
n i'll still be there,
so if u need a listening ear,
im jus a phone call away.
(but ya, yun feng, dun bug me with weird smses like, "Do I look like a smoker?")
take care peeps!
yay!
tml holiday!
mayb i go NUS see see kendo!
n now a chorus of a song to end this post.
"Oh, how praying rests the weary!
Prayer will change the night to day;
So when life seems dark and dreary,
Don’t forget to pray."
(1 memory i had of this was when Pastor Timothy Tow sang this last yr at one of his last messages at the pulpit,
with his weak n frail external shell of his at e age of 80+,
coughing while singing this with his hoarse voice.
but now, i may not hear him sing (or speak) again.
but i'll hear him sing in another tune, another song, someday.
and when tat day comes, we'll all sing to the same tune!)

Stand up for Singapore!
Happy national day peeps!
btw, nice song on ur blog, Christie!
totally love it lots!
*sry for the randomity*
oh oh!
n i may b going partyworld now!
like right now at 840pm!
hahaha.
yeah forgot to add in,
i had a roughly great time this morn at botanical gardens with YPF.
waited for ppl for like 1 hr b4 starting e programmes proper.
learnt alot of stuff today.
lotsa reflections like examining our walk with God,
see if we are too caught up in the world, n if we are doing activities tat bless God.
n if we are:
1) can we truly ask God to bless our activities that we do?
2) are we tempted and 'addicted' to it? like without it, we cant 'survive'?
3) do we stumble our fellow brethen?
yup.
all these simple stuff that deserves our reflection.
not only for others, but for me too.
i gotta think bout my life, my goal, my purpose.
n ya, i gotta set it straight.
n definitely grow stronger for God.
im like learning stuff rite now in this weak state of mine.
PATIENCE.
coz im still waiting for the day u come back.
im not gonna let u go.
til den, i promise to b stronger too.
yep.
so, gambatte ya?
to e both of us.
=]
once again, happy national day peeps.
yup.
and a verse to end it:
"I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
-Philippians 3:14
God bless to all who reads it.

oh n aft tat, i went to meet Charmian at dhoby ghaut to catch e Money not enough with my new Matric Card! Whee~
6 bucks! hee.
yeah, n we find it rather captivating but it wasnt 'there' yet.
Not as captivating as other movies but yeah, it had e usual 'moral of the story ending'
liked some key elements of e movie like the stickers on e cigarette boxes, e ERP-everywhere idea and oso the hokkien songs.
Especially that Na Si Wo Wu Ji Pa Ban (If I Had 1 Million) Song!
hahah really reminds me of my army boss...
speaking of which, arent our batch supposed to go visit him like tml nite or sat nite?
*sms sms*
ok jus got my answer.
sometime this weekend.
yeah.
somehow, right now, it feels as if all colours are fading to black and white again.
well, somehow,
i jus feel bored. like, i cant get to enjoy watching animes n movies like last time,
even when im free n hav nth to do.
is this e life of a uni student?
hope not.
but yeah,
jus feel tat not many things i did in e past can satisfy the me rite now.
feels as if some part of my heart is ripped off n left behind.
during tat transition phase between my ORD til now.
my memories.
my happiness.
my sadness.
my hurt.
my memories.
i still remem a post i posted like in 2005.
memories are meant to fade so that we can move on.
den came the question,
what if it doesnt ever fade?
i do hope it doesnt.
im not gonna let them fade away,
but neither am i gonna cling on so tightly to it.
coz im gonna look forward to a new future,
when stories are re-written anew.
when hope does fulfil.
reflecting on the past,
and He's helping me hold on fast,
to press onward to build a better future.
where the feelings will finally be mutual.
oh oh, sorry for the digress.
hmmm, yep den aft e movie, we went walking from dhoby ghaut to heerens to cineleisure den to wisma in search of a wallet for her.
too bad we couldnt find any.
and oh!
we met a bunch of NUS peeps from EEE with Mervyn frm JJC TKD inside!
n like they asked us to help them complete some tasks like err,
cheering with them and singing a song for a lady from e public.
haha.

long long day with e bench and the wind and my book
1st thing in e morn, I WOKE UP 30 MINS LATE!!!
ARGH!!!

left house at 815, started on e road at 820!

GOSH~
lotsa free time spent on walking ard, makaning, printing notes, wee bit of studying on variance n standard D, more walking, reading my book, listening to e wind, reminiscing, n more flashbacks.
kinda really weird, i mean the human mind, whenever e mind is unoccupied, it starts thinking bout lotsa other stuff. much much more stuff. ALOT ALOT OTHER STUFF.
n its hard not to remember.
yep, but while reading my book, i had a great time feeling the wind rub against my cheeks.
subconciously, i closed my eyes, trying to hear for waves but there was only the rustling of leaves but it was close enough.
[I cant swear] but along with tat wind, i did catch a whiff of sunblock from it.
dunno where it came from.
or prob its jus my head.
n yeah, learnt bout sunk cost today.
cost of something tat can nvr b replaced, or reversed.
something i nvr did learn or really think about in e econs back in JC
not til now
but i still dun quite get a thing about opportunity costs.
n yeah, finally a long day over. waiting for tml where i can go to sch for only 2 one-hour lectures!
mayb i might jus pop by to NUS kendo to take a look.
mayb.

i found this particular sms which really struck my heart at that time.
4th Oct 2005
Rainbows appear after mighty storms. When skies look their very worst.
Just when skies are their darkest grey. Look for the rainbow first.
The rainbow is a sign of God's promise. That he would take us through any troubles.
No matter what their form. When you feel battered by life's storms.
And are filled with doubt and dismay.
Just remember God's rainbow is coming. It's only a prayer away.
Bidding Success!
n yep, prayed about it n i got e timetable tat i wanted!
Whee~

n yeah, e promos werent tat great though.
i think even e laptops at NUS IT fair were much much better.
oh wells...
i jus remebered my one of my old fav songs:
Plus One - Here In My Heart
Wherever you are tonight girl
I'll see you in my dreams
Wherever I go tomorrow
You'll be here next to me
And though we are a world apart
I know you'll never be that far
[ c h o r u s ]
'Cause here in my heart
There's a picture of us
Together forever
Unfaded and unbroken
Wherever you are
Your love covers me
Forever more you'll be
Here in my heart
Whenever I miss you so much
It's more than I can bear
I won't cry, I'll
just close my eyes
And know you'll be there
Your kiss and your touch
I'll never forget
'Cause you're as close
As my very next breath
[ c h o r u s ]
And though we are a world apart
I know you'll never be that far
[ c h o r u s ]
My heart
real old song.
but yeah its still under my favs...
but it jus aptly describes me rite now.
jus so appropriate for me.
its hard for me to bear it too. but den, some things just hav to be done.
i hav to persevere on, to noe tat, one day, i can see n feel it, the hope within my grasp. tat precious hope and the encouragement from Him that keeps me going on n on each day. to noe tat one day, "It is raised in glory".
until the day when i can truly be ur wings, i'll jus be a one winged angel...
