i have to admit, i have a problem with questionnaires. not that i dont answer them truthfully, i do. but as a matter of fact, i struggle with the options provided. some of my answers might become outliers when the experimenter does a scatter plot but so be it. my reasonings are different from the layman's point of view. where do i draw the line? do i keep my christian perspectives when it's time to think like everyone else so that datas can be accurate and go with the flow of things? to be 'in the group'? the fact that i struggle with answering the hundreds of questions i've done for rp points to one thing. i have been consumed by christian values and a line should never be drawn to compromise the truth from reality.
i concur with ACS. the best is yet to be. of course best can refer to various things. with reference to life in eternity, the best is yet to be. however the best has also come to be. Jesus has come to set the standard and to be the example. He's the best that we can ever have. i shared with wai ling the other day that life is always good, just that it has varying degrees. but the bottom line is, life is good because God has meant for it to be. it's just its varying degrees that gets us all disillusioned and downcast.
on the other hand, the worst is yet to be. for life without Christ, there is still eternity. but the essence of it is lost. how painful will it be to dwell in a Godless place. which is why hell is so scary. it is not the blazing furnaces that makes hell like hell, but the true torment of it all is the eternal separation from the Giver of all good things, the Giver of Life.
the difficulty is not in realising that we have a Saviour, but that we need one.
on Christ the solid rock i stand, all other ground is sinking sand. and my song shall ever be.

man oh man oh man oh man.
i ran all the way from kent ridge to arts just to submit the report that shouldnt have been rushed in the first place. i hate last minute work. woke up earlier than i planned to cos the phone rang and i had to help with the report. rawrrrrrrrrr. i was annoyed to find it still unfinished by 1630 when the deadline's 1700. super chiong. over the hills and far away. the national university of stairs doesnt make running any easier. pants of relief when i dropped the precious report into the pigeon hole. accomplished.
a season of break-ups?
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
'tis so sweet to trust in Jesus.
so i look to You. (:

silence and solitude.
it's been a great retreat. the week's been like a roller-coaster ride. but it's been a learning journey of trust and faith. God has been faithful and i trust He always will be. i'm thankful for all the prayers and concern. thanks for all the love, guys. (: contrition. uncles can lead you astray. haha.
'tis the season that is busy, rah rah rah rah rah rahh rahh rahh argh.
i wrote a note on all the things i should complete by sunday. it's something i seldom do 'cos usually i just remember them or just do them as time passes. BUT there's so much to do and the deadlines are near :| so i got to get down to doing them. i'll always remember october as the month of deadlines. seriously, i still have a problem between datelines and deadlines. i prefer the former.
e-learning hasnt been as slack as i thought it'd be. the bad part about it is that i dont listen to the lectures according to my lecture slot. that explains why i still have 3 more webcasts to tune in to. bah. devt psych lecture was quite interesting and it's only 35 mins. hahaha. great stuff.
STOMP09 is FANTASTIC. i really love the show they put up. highly energetic bunch who just sap the energy out of you as they rhythm around everywhere and everything. it was quite tiring being part of the audience. but it's so good. the show left me wondering if they loaded themselves with large bars of chocolate before the show. what a night. and of course, the company. (:
the folks are away, again.
You embrace my fragility and keep me safe in a crazy world.

grace alone.

to love them the way you love us too.
for a heart to be wrenched, it must first be soaked. that's what i think.
i miss writing songs.
More-Averil Leong
set me apart here's my heart i'll honour You, worship You
humbly i pray Your will, Your way i'll honour You, worship You
more than words, let my life speak more than songs, let my soul sing
owner of the air that i breathe as i inhale each breath, may i exhale Your praise keeper of the time that i loan may the seconds Lord, count for You
from day to day lead me Your way i'll follow and trust in You
from faith to faith use me i pray to honour You, worship You
