同伴。

喬巴
繽紛的花飄瓣撒在微紅的天空
悠揚飄落的櫻花中
我已經許下諾言

香吉士
鮮豔的海浪被我擁在懷中
夢想早已超越在那遙遠的海浪
總有一天會實現

騙人布
在這無比廣大的世界裡迷路的時候
總是被你伸出的手拯救
在無比強勁的敵人面前
我總是一無是處

索隆
通透的刀刃上倒映著我們脆弱的影子
那一天我了解世界
然後在那裡立下了誓言

娜美
我會為了你改變
因為總是給我笑臉的你，現在正流著淚水
就算只有一點點也可以，我想成為你的支柱
就像在我流淚那天你對我做的那樣

羅賓
那些早已該遺忘的笑臉都是你給我的寶物
像串接歷史的岩石那樣
在時光中永不退色

弗朗基
洶湧的波浪中不管會越過多少海浪
我把裝滿我夢想的船交給你，然後不落船錨勇往前行

布魯克
我會歌唱，在給我希望的你困擾的時候
雖然是這樣軟弱的我
也想要盡力保護你

一起
離開我們的你，就算相隔遙遠，這個誓言
都會飛躍於天空，然後向你奔去
不管遇到多少堅硬的牆壁
雖然我們追求的夢想都是不同的形狀
但是我們的心結伴而行，並指向遠方的夢想

（給喬巴）
薇紅的天空中飄著彩色的花瓣
在悠揚飄落的櫻花之中
我們已經立下誓言

（給香吉士）
我們被喧鬧的大海擁抱
遙遠的夢想可以跨越牽浪
總有一天會去實現

（給騙人布）
在純白的世界睜開雙眼
伸出我的雙手卻保護不了同伴
仰望著彷彿在最墜落般的天空
我失去了哥哥…

（給索隆）
堅韌的刀刃映照出我們頑強的羈絆
那一天我嚐進了孤獨
然後我明白現在我還有夥伴

（給娜美）
我會為了你活下去
因為在一個人孤單到忘記唱歌時
總有溫柔的聲音從遠方響起
於是我再次迎風奔跑
因為那是夥伴們唱的歌

（給羅賓）
我一直在迷惘帶你離開這迷宮
伸出的手是溫暖的
現在成為了我的力量

（給弗朗基）
不管狂風巨浪多麼洶湧
那夢想之傳一定會帶我們穿越
因為未來還在等著我們

（給布魯克）
我會跟著一起歌唱唱這首充滿希望的歌曲
即使是像我這樣不可靠得聲音你也會為我合唱

（給大家）
即使我們被分開
這思念跨越海洋緊僅繫在一起
不管未來又有怎樣的阻礙
就算我們追求的夢想都沒有形狀
但是載你們的陪伴下
指引出一條光輝之路

The Green Tea Day.

2012-02-06T23:39:00.002+08:00

My God is ever faithful and full of surprises.

It was the last day of Chinese New Year. So my friends and I decided to gather together to celebrate this special day for all the Chinese. Just the mere thought of being able to see them again excited my little heart. So there we were sitting in a Japanese restaurant, chatting and laughing. Then all of a sudden a green square cake with fruits topping and two kindled big candles placed on top popped out of nowhere (Oh well, I was exaggerating. The waitress brought it to our table and I thought it was her mistake in the beginning. Haha.). Followed closely after that was them singing a birthday song for me. I was totally speechless - overwhelming joy has successfully caused failure in searching for words to be uttered. And, I also received a "One Piece" puzzle as a gift from my beloved didi. The whole surprise was nothing short of amazing. The joy generated from that single event can feed me for days or even weeks. No kidding. I can still feel the sweetness and warmth from within my heart as if it is still happening right now. Little things now and then actually bring more joys than the occasional grand happenings.

Tadaa! My first One Piece collection.

Truth to be told, earlier I thought I would have to celebrate this special day alone and I was feeling kind of dispirited because of it. But God my Father saw this occasion from a perspective different from mine. He, who has a very good sense of creativity and humour, has already penned down his surprise for me while I was still indulged in my own self-pity. Through this, indirectly He has also revealed to me that my self-righteous presumption is one of the negative factors I have oft times imposed on myself. The logic behind this is simple: When we have no trust in Him, we are actually choosing to make our own lives miserable. Faith, the secret to a happier life.

My birthday present. <3

He has blessed me in such a way that is beyond my imaginations, so unexpected, so heart-warming. I am really thankful for all that He is and has done for me.

This is a day worth remembering indeed.
I am happy and satisfied.

Cheers!

Hosanna!

I cannot evaluate the choices given.
Which will lead to my final goal? I don't know.

I seek to unleash the burning passion of my heart.
Problem is, how?

Best Gifts.

Family.

Friends.

A heart to generate love.

Brain to store wisdom and knowledge.

Body temperature to give warmth.

Eyes to watch over all my beloved ones.

Ears to listen to their happiness and sorrows.

Mouth to speak words of truth, affirmations, and to rebuke with love.

Nose to smell the sweet smelling of the laundry my mum has just done.

Hands to hold up those in need.

Legs to walk my family and friends through all their ups and downs.

Shoulders to carry my parents when they grow old.

Fingers to count all my blessings and for all the important moments.

Stomach (appetite) to enjoy all the delicious food.

Voice to sing praises and to glorify The I Am.

Inspirations to bring more joys.

Skills to help people more practically.

Dreams to remind myself not to live solely for myself.

I have wealth beyond your imagination, under God's provision.

Thank you Father.

Thank You Jesus!

2012-02-02T08:48:00.000+08:00

You don't need a very outstanding reason to be thankful because the mere fact that you are breathing is sufficient enough.

Good morning!

For this small desire of mine to never leave me but in turn will expand in such a way that I touch every life that needs even the least touch of kindness and love.

A prayer of thanksgiving for all that You have freely gave.

失去。获得

2012-01-19T22:59:00.001+08:00

不说，不代表没有。

在每一段故事的背后都肯定有些难言的苦痛。

每个人到达了人生的某个阶段总要面对失去亲人之苦。

此经历将会是斯心裂肺的，

它所剩的回忆也或许会带来些许伤痛。

这些，永远只有自己知道。

但是人生这条路是无回头之道，

失去后总要学会放手才能遇见未来，

才会获得新的并值得我们更加珍惜的人或事物。

Keep Your Dreams Alive!

2012-01-15T00:44:00.001+08:00

I found this especially interesting and meaningful.

http://ilovedoodle.com/wp/2011/03/22/keep-on-dreaming/

Keep on dreaming.

Drawing is always my passion.

My life becomes colourful and my soul rejoices when God drops beautiful ideas into my heart.

And I believe it is one of the many methods God uses to trigger me to have more dreams.

Dreams are the result of creativity anyways.
When your dreams are alive, they touch other souls.

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe."

更换季节

2012-01-14T19:40:00.000+08:00

“最寂寞的时候莫过于在无人了解你、你无处可倾靠之时。”

四面围墙几度堵住了我的气息

是现实是抽象都一样

四面楚歌的感慨我感受至实

呼吸几乎成了奢侈品

回顾相同的街

邂逅类似的情节

几年前的这时

欢笑已姗姗被替代

幼稚自私肤浅懵懂地

在不同季节里徘徊

自身审查中才惊觉

得到得多却都没能填满空虚

失去得少却都已将心灵严重摧残结痂

隐隐敲醒了试图逃避的心理

发现原来我有着不太合格的人际关系

离去的仿佛已将我连人带影彻底销毁

留下的却也渐渐消声若迹形同陌人

是该放了忘了我却还在执迷不悟

来迟的努力弥补却已回不到从前

泪只属眼眶

道歉只能恨晚

最近的距离只能存留在乏黄的记忆里

一切都已来不及

爱。摩多车

Date the Girl.

2011-12-30T15:01:00.000+08:00

I came across this very interesting article while I was browsing tumblr. =)

Disclaimer: The following article is copied and pasted from a random Tumblr I have browsed.

Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes, who has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she has found the book she wants. You see that weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a secondhand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow and worn.
She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas, for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry and in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.
She has to give it a shot somehow.

Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who read understand that all things must come to end, but that you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.

Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilight series.

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.
You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes.

- Rosemarie Urquico

Things would be so much easier. There would be less tortures mentally.

But then, I would be a god myself. I would be furthest away from He who breathes life into my nostril. So, yes. Just let it be. Everything happens for a very specific reason as according to His perfect plan.

Trust Him, dear heart.

The Bible.

2011-10-21T20:45:00.000+08:00

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible.

Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money, you give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him.

He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible, and began to turn the pages. As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words... PAID IN FULL.

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?

You of little faith, why did you doubt? Matthew 14:31

(Disclaimer: Story taken from Grace Ngu.)

*******

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life - in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labour for nothing.

(Dated 15 October 2011. Delay in publish due to technical problem.)

Things have not been easy and I have not been truly happy ever since I stepped on this land.

But He the I Am who is alive, through songs and scriptures, is constantly telling me that He cares and He is listening to my prayers, every single one of them.

Hope of All Hearts.

Everything is perishable, including all the trials I am facing and the grudges I am holding against the others at this very moment, but You will remain.

Though my heart may fail, with hope and light, You will bring victory out of me.

In darkness, in trial, my soul shall sing of Your mercy and kindness.

For you have taught me to be the light that shines and to never lose my saltiness even in the midst of hopelessness and disappointments.

Never Stop.

Psalm 103

(NIV)

¹ Praise the LORD, my soul;
   all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
² Praise the LORD, my soul,
   and forget not all his benefits—
³ who forgives all your sins
   and heals all your diseases,
⁴ who redeems your life from the pit
   and crowns you with love and compassion,
⁵ who satisfies your desires with good things
   so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

⁶ The LORD works righteousness
and justice for all the oppressed.

⁷ He made known his ways to Moses,
   his deeds to the people of Israel:
⁸ The LORD is compassionate and gracious,
   slow to anger, abounding in love.
⁹ He will not always accuse,
   nor will he harbor his anger forever;
¹⁰ he does not treat us as our sins deserve
   or repay us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
   so great is his love for those who fear him;
¹² as far as the east is from the west,
   so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

¹³ As a father has compassion on his children,
   so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
¹⁴ for he knows how we are formed,
   he remembers that we are dust.
¹⁵ The life of mortals is like grass,
   they flourish like a flower of the field;
¹⁶ the wind blows over it and it is gone,
   and its place remembers it no more.
¹⁷ But from everlasting to everlasting
   the LORD’s love is with those who fear him,
   and his righteousness with their children’s children—
¹⁸ with those who keep his covenant
   and remember to obey his precepts.

¹⁹ The LORD has established his throne in heaven,
and his kingdom rules over all.

²⁰ Praise the LORD, you his angels,
   you mighty ones who do his bidding,
   who obey his word.
²¹ Praise the LORD, all his heavenly hosts,
   you his servants who do his will.
²² Praise the LORD, all his works
   everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the LORD, my soul.

Enable me to show the same mercy and grace that You have shown me toward those who sin against me, and to hurl their sins into the deepest part of the sea of forgetfulness.

The journey of becoming more like Jesus will never stop.

Not until the day my spirit parts with my body.

Thank You, Lord,
for giving me reasons to believe and to forgive.

My Future is Yours.

Proverbs 19:20-21

Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise. Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.

A gentle reminder to commit everything into God's hand. For many are the plans we have for ourselves but in the end, God is the one who decides whether or not to fulfill them. He has the last say.

If God is for us, who can be against us?

Was it good that I was born? Did I deserve that? Questions often asked by majority. Some may judge you, some may condemn you, some may try to put you to death. But God saw that it (your birth) was good, so He put miracles into your life - Love, Faith, Hope.

As long as you are alive, you will figure it out eventually.

&amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;

Become my son! It doesn't matter who your parents were. Everyone is a child of the sea.

Most of the times it is when things got all messed up we see people who truly love us and willing to sacrifice themselves for us. Then we experience hope.

In the end, all you will want to say is, "Thank you for loving me."

Death occurs. Yet love remains.

This is the saddest moment in One Piece so far.

Who can predict when death is approaching?
Who can really tell "I have no regrets" when the life candle is above to burn out and die with a contented smile carved on his face?

Life is an unknown.

So live every moment.

( Well, of course I know I am a little too obsessed with One Piece but who cares as long as I'm happy about it. =P )

One Piece.

One Piece OST Haha naru Umi

Am very moved by the friendships they have acquired along their journeys.

No regrets, no complaints. Strengthen themselves just so that they can protect their companions - to an extent they are willing to forgo their own ego selves and let the love/desire for friends overrides their own dreams.

From total different backgrounds and burdens yet in the end they are the ones who have each others' back.

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13

True friend sees the full potential in you and by all means try to help you to accomplish the heights of your life.
If only I have one as such, even if just one, I would be the happiest alive.

&amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;

Unsaid promises. True love in action.

How True Can This Be?

Never in my life I have received love letters from anyone.

Sad sad case.

中毒。

看了瑰宝1949后深深被他吸引：

太太太好看了！
很感人的友情，不一样的故事，激励人的对话。。。

2011-09-15T11:16:00.001+08:00

Though I knew it from the very beginning, am still feeling superbly sad about it.

I yearn for a second chance but same things just don't happen twice.

What should I do?

Sigh.

无尽的等待

2011-09-04T23:47:00.000+08:00

天气变化莫测，好比此刻的心情 - 太多的忧心，太多的牵挂和不知所措。对未来的憧憬像小偷小心翼翼地溜走。不知往昔的理想志愿在何方？如果时光可以倒流，多想要回从前那能单纯为兴趣和梦想，尽管多么渺小，而爆发干劲、热诚的小女孩。

可固执于过去的往往将失去前进的机会。失败、挫折又算什么？路还是要走的，毕竟无人生不是坎坷的。- 我是这样告诉自己。但愿上帝开启一扇门。。。

我依然相信，会有奇迹出现的。

Life's a Maze.

2011-09-02T18:42:00.001+08:00

One thing I do best now is wasting my time and youth. Feel so lost and aimless now. What should I do? Which path should be taken?

You Are The Very Reason I Believe This.

2011-08-28T17:39:00.000+08:00

Take my dreams and make it Yours.

A Note.

2011-08-26T20:52:00.001+08:00

Brain: You shouldn't act so immaturely.

Heart: I am trying! But I am feeling really scared now. Future... So full of uncertainties.

Brain: Hey dear, fear not. God will sort it out for you.

Heart: I know, definitely. But I forget easily. Remind me.

Split Personality

2011-08-25T23:40:00.000+08:00

I become a totally different person everytime you mention that.

Sigh.

But It Ain't Easy...

2011-08-22T14:42:00.000+08:00

祢知道

2011-08-21T22:41:00.000+08:00

Defeated pride. You taught me how to be humble before you.

&amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;br&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;

I keep reminding myself not to be intimidated by how the world may look at me but focus on God alone.

He has made me strong enough to face all these challenges.

It's hard but I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

A Comfort.

2011-08-16T15:31:00.003+08:00

A tough week indeed.

But God is good and faithful. He is all the reason I need to cling on my Hope.

Revelation 3: 7-10

These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars - I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.

Praise You in this Storm by Casting Crowns

My God is faithful. I will soar like an eagle under His wing.

***

God is never stingy when it comes to blessing His children. But sometimes He waits until you really trust and rely on Him wholeheartedly and without doubts.

***

He has made me glad, blessed me with the love from friends.

I See Love.

2011-08-12T00:42:00.000+08:00

Blessings in disguise. Yes I believe. At least I still have friends who care for me, trying to cheer me up and willing to walk with me through this disastrous moment. Thank you Lord. Though I really do not have the slightest clue about what Your will for me is, I will follow you. It is time I stop grumbling.

Laura Story - Blessings

2011-08-07T22:11:00.002+08:00

We pray for blessings, we pray for peace.

Comfort for family, protection while we sleep.

We pray for healing, prosperity.

We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering.

All the while, You hear each spoken need.

Your love is way too much to give us lesser things.

Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops?

What if your healing comes through tears?

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near?

What if trials of this night, are Your mercies in disguise?

We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear.

We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near.

We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love.

As if every promise from Your word is not enough.

All the while, You hear each desperate plea.

And long that we'd have faith to believe.

Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops?

What if your healing comes through tears?

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near?

What if trials of this night, are Your mercies in disguise?

When friends betray us, when darkness seems to win;

We know that pain reminds this heart, that this is not, this is not our home.

It's not our home.

Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops?

What if your healing comes through tears?

What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near?

What if my greatest disappointments, or the aching of this life;

Is a revealing of greater thirst that a world can't satisfy?

And what if trials of this life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights;

Are Your mercies in disguise?

*******

*Chuckles*

God knows me best.

Just when mine thought deceives me into thinking the Lord no longer cares,

He steps in and says,

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."

Exodus 14:14

I will trust, no matter how hard it will be.

I'm scare. I have dreams to fulfil but future seems so full of uncertainties. But I believe in the power of prayers. Please pray for me. Thank you.

瑰寶

2011-08-02T10:35:00.002+08:00

Am so in love with this song recently. It reminds me of something important:

In life, we need dreams to keep us alive. We fight for it and never give up. But then, throughout the journey, we need to learn to give and take. Sometimes we just cannot hold on to everything. There are people/matters so important that we need to let go of the others, including our lives.

Love is unconditional. It is sacrificial.

Suffocating.

Doom's day is approaching!

Adele - Rolling In The Deep

2011-07-28T15:26:00.001+08:00

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark

Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare

See how I'll leave, with every piece of you 
Don't underestimate the things that I will do 
There's a fire starting in my heart 
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark

The scars of your love remind me of us 
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all 
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless

I can't help feeling

We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep

You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it to the beat

Baby, I have no story to be told 
But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn 
Think of me in the depths of your despair 
Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared

The scars of your love remind you of us 
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all 
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless 
I can't help feeling

We could have had it all 
Rolling in the deep 
You had my heart inside your hand

And you played it to the beat

Could have had it all 
Rolling in the deep 
You had my heart inside your hand 
But you played it with a beating

Throw your soul through every open door

Count your blessings to find what you look for 
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold 
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow

(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me) 
We could have had it all 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

We could have had it all

(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me) 
It all, it all, it all, it all 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)

We could have had it all

(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep)

Rolling in the deep

(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me) 
You had my heart and soul 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) 
And you played it to the beat

(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me)

Could have had it all 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) 
Rolling in the deep

(Now I'm gonna wish you never had met me) 
You had my heart and soul in your hand 
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep) 
But you played it, you played it, you played it to the beat

Am furiously in love with this song currently. And the voice of the singer.

结束，另一段故事的开始。

2011-07-17T10:01:00.000+08:00

挥了挥手告别了两年的学院生活时，我没哭泣，心里却有百般的无奈与不舍，感触良多。二十岁了，却还拿捏不了潇洒转身离开的技巧，非得让悲伤牵挂纠缠不清。同样的我，一样嗜爱食物，热爱大自然，容易被朋友感动，会思念从前。短短的两年里没什么太大的改变，并没有学会流连于夜店或花钱如水流。然而，一样的热情里却多了一些些的约束与成熟，更懂得如何一个人担当处事，不让父母朋友操心。

两年里，最不舍的是朋友。一起傻一起闹一起欢笑一起用餐过，也一起拼死读书一起搞活动一起庆祝生日过节过，互相地扶持，他们是我精神上的寄托，我的依赖。其中当然少不了不满抱怨互骂等小插曲, 可我相信每个的心中其实还是蛮留恋那时的生活，毕竟不会再重演。

算算没有上课的日子已长达一个月了。这一个月，说长不长，说短也不短，却成了我人生中最难忘的回忆之一。这一个月里，我没回到家乡。反之，去了西马各地旅游 - 在朋友的家里胡闹。呵呵。多希望还能有如此非凡的机会。明知很不孝，可一路我真都没想家过，太好玩了吧？虽说家人排行第一，朋友的分量也不少，两者均不能少，两者亦是我快乐的源头。

我喜欢旅游，到陌生无一人懂我的各个地方探险。不同的风景，不同的美食，不同的文化，一一使我心起涟漪，赞叹不已。人群中，每个都是一个值得学习的对象，一个崭新需要细心解剖的故事。而那人潮中，上帝总不忘让你偶遇几个让你毕生难忘的，另外几个让你心头小鹿乱了脚阵的。一切都如此奇妙，如此多姿多彩。

想说，两年里，上帝从来没有遗忘或离弃过我。祂聆听我的祷告、垂听我内心的呐喊，祂供应我所缺的。虽然等候成绩出炉让人彻夜难眠、惊心胆跳，也一度让我怀疑上帝是否记得我，可最后还是决定将一切都交托给主。毕竟，所有的荣耀都要归给祂。祂是我生命篇章的作者，更毫无条件领我度过每个阶段直到结束为止，再带着我迈向祂所承诺的新开始。祂，没有毁约过。

我的未来，有祂。

我相信祂。

Last Fight.

God is going IN with me.

After All

2011-06-08T11:46:00.001+08:00

God's grace is sufficient for me.

I admit my faith have not been very strong all these while. Very fragile in fact. And it swings as if it is a woman having premenstrual syndrome. I'm not joking. It can be very persuasive sometimes, then all of sudden it is seemed roaming across the hectic and hassle city - aimless. Especially now that it is exam season, albeit I only have one more paper left, it seems to be constantly living in fear.

Who wouldn't worry about their future?
Who wouldn't care about their future career?
Who wouldn't feel frustrated when things are not going smoothly as planned?
Who wouldn't feel discouraged when what they have prepared are useless in times of need?
Who wouldn't lose their self-confidence when they know it's actually very easy but still they cannot provide the answer on the spot?

I felt all the way lost and defeated. I am not the kind of weak person who would cry easily but I did. It was awful and tiring. All the stress and disheartenment piled up to be more than endurable. At the edge of breaking down I have no one to turn to, except Him. I actually cried out, "God, God, such a useless child, how can You use her in the future? How can You feel proud of her?" I did not receive any response. All I have asked for is a little miracle. Tears have not dried when I finally fell asleep. The frogs were still guabak-ing from under the drain, or the forest.

I felt very incapacitated even when I woke up this morning. Things have not been very different. The fact that I have ruined the papers have not been erased. It never would. The mask that I deliberately put on, the tears I withheld in front of all the yes-I-have-nailed-it-down eyes, my heart sank. Instantly I felt so inferior. What have I done to deserve all these failures? I have worked so hard for it. The world is never fair, isn't it? Probably I wasn't even supposed to be here.

Finally I chose to run away from the crowd. At least I can be myself in my small small world. Logged on to college WiFi, I have not a slight intention to open my Facebook page. The world in there is not real. No one inside really cared if you have disappeared. Browsing through the blogs, places where people are more likely to express themselves more genuinely (at least I believe so), two of them caught my attention. Again, tears wet my cheek.

God has not forsaken me.

Different persons, different encounters, still He is there for all of us, especially those who are weary, dispirited and brokenhearted. He never really left. All the happenings are meant to draw us closer back to Him, not otherwise. And it is during these moments you intensely seek Him and feel His presence. I might have repeated this for several times previously but this doesn't mean I have forgotten it. It's simply because this is what I need to relearn everyday. Sometimes I can't help but to think myself a hypocrite - able to convince others of God's promises but not to myself. Perhaps, a constant reminder for myself to stop doubting and fearing is vital. Now I remember what I have read years ago. God gives us trials in life and many times the lessons we learned through it are the same because we forget easily.

To let go of our past failures and to surrender them to God are never easy tasks. But God, most wonderfully and miraculously, can always solve our problems. I'm surrendering my future. I'm not thinking about it anymore. I'm learning, Father.

端午节

2011-06-05T14:13:00.003+08:00

今年的端午节虽然没有家人一起庆祝也没有粽子吃，可是依旧可以 google 看粽子照片。

何乐而不为？

最爱的就是红豆沙粽子！

开玩笑！

这不是重点。

虽然身在异乡一点点的节日气氛都没有，可是还是有教堂里牧师、主内弟兄姐妹的关怀与热诚，更不缺学院里朋友们开心的欢笑声与满满的爱，最重要的家人们也都平安无恙。

节日的意义何在，若不是亲朋好友们都健康快乐？

感谢主所赐的恩典满溢！

Praise Brings Results

Today's devotion, from www.ccci.org.

"And at the moment they began to sing and to praise, the Lord caused the armies of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir to begin fighting among themselves, and they destroyed each other!" (2 Chronicles 20:22).

The armies of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir had declared war on King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah. So Jehoshaphat called the people together and prayed, "Oh, our God. Won't you stop them. We have no way to protect ourselves against this mighty army. We don't know what to do but we are looking to You."
Then the Lord instructed the people, "Don't be afraid, don't be paralyzed by this mighty army for the battle is not yours, but God's! Tomorrow, go down and attack them!...But you will not need to fight. Take your places; stand quietly and see the incredible rescue operation God will perform for you" (2 Chronicles 20:15-17).

After consultation with the leaders of the people, Jehoshaphat determined that there should be a choir, clothed in sanctified garments and singing the song, "His Loving kindness Is Forever," leading the march. As they walked along praising and thanking the Lord, He released His mighty power in their behalf.

One of the greatest lessons I have ever learned about the Christian life is the importance of praise and thanksgiving. The greater the problem, the more difficult the circumstances, the greater the crisis, the more important it is to praise God at all times, to worship Him for who He is; for His attributes of sovereignty, love, grace, power, wisdom and might; for the certainty that He will fight for us, that He will demonstrate His supernatural resources in our behalf.

As in the case of Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah when they began to praise God and He caused the three opposing armies to fight against each other and destroy one another, God will fight for us if we trust and obey Him. There is no better way to demonstrate faith and obedience than to praise Him and to thank Him, even when our world is crumbling around us and the enemy is threatening to destroy. God honors praise. Hebrews 13:15 reminds us, "With Jesus' help, we will continually offer our sacrifice of praise to God by telling others of the glory of His name."

Bible Reading: Psalm 136:1, 21-26

TODAY'S ACTION POINT: Today I will continue to praise God and give thanks to Him for who He is. When difficulties arise, I will praise Him all the more and thank Him for His faithfulness. I will depend upon the supernatural resources of God which enable me to live the supernatural life, regardless of the circumstances.

***

Afterthought:

When I came across this, I could feel the fire in my heart rekindled - the faith restored. It was my Father in heaven, who has heard my desperate cry and appeal, talking to me through the scriptures. Recently, exam stress and concerns for the future have succeeded in distracting me from fixing my eyes solely on Jesus. Or should I say, ever since I stepped out of my comfort zone, the fear has never left, regardless of all the knowledge that I have acquired about God and His promises. The sudden epiphany taught me to fully understand what Aunty Michele has once told us. (It was dated many years back. Oh I feel so old now.) The knowledge (of God) if stays in mind produces no effects whatsoever. It is not until the knowledge has dissolved into your heart and that you have opened up your heart to trust like a child of his father i.e. total surrender to God's will, you have come to experience and accept Christ personally. Paraphrased. Oh well, I might have added some myself. On that very instant, I knew for sure the anxiety and vexations that I have in my heart, Jesus understands them all.

Rejoice even when you think you have never been so worse off; be thankful for every little/crucial thing that you have gained or lost, you never know what God has in store for you; pray unceasingly and trust faithfully for God listens and He never fails. The least thing you would want to do is to worry. God makes you. No parents would turn away from their children when their children are incapable of even feeding themselves. What more can we expect from God, the Parent of all parents? He will not give beyond your abilities, nor will He allow you to carry the cross all by yourself. The heaviest cross has already been taken up for your sake in fact.

Buck up and move on! Your God IS fighting for you and He has already CONQUERED the battle!

Went to University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) last week. For a super tedious medical check-up. To cut the lengthy story short (I'm not good in narrating anyways), I met Andy Ko. Actually he offered to accompany me - a wonderful surprise from God. That was the best part of the whole trip. I thought I would need to get everything done all alone; I thought no one really cared. But then, through him God was reminding me that sometimes all we need are but a little trust in other individuals and simply allow them to lend us a helping hand. God works through them too! Time spent with Andy in the hospital was neither too long or too short but suffice to make me ponder about the definition of a genuine friend (I guess that's the adjective for it). I'm truly blessed to have a friend like him and indeed friends as such are the angels God has given to teach us valuable lessons in life. And yes, I really think time sacrificed willingly is one of the many love languages that we ought to possess.

Thank you, Andy, for the warmth you have installed in my heart. I'm pretty sure it's going to last for a very long period of time.

All the way back I have not talked to anyone but You.

The prayer I have uttered over and over asked for nothing but a miracle

for I know You, only You, have the power to give and take.

I have failed myself but You, my author, never.

Under Your hand the most beautiful stories are written;

even when the queen of bleakness laugh, in Your arms my dreams are secured.

Hear my petition, dear Papa, I have no one to turn to but You.

Your promises alone in tears I persevere still.

Help me.

You design every incidence with subtle purposes I do not know. It seems to me as if everything is following your train of thought perfectly. Yes, they mess up my schedule almost thoroughly but I see Your hands at work. I shall not fear but trust because You allow no flaws to be made anyways.

Sculpt me as You will.

Father Father, Hear My Prayer.

2011-05-21T21:37:00.000+08:00

This weary soul I surrender to you O Lord. Take my hand. Tell me what to do.

Help me.

Sufferings. Blessings.

Don't quit before the blessing. - Byrd Baggett

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:1-5

Again, God reminded me of his faithfulness. Often our eyes are too fixed on our failure and defeat until we overlook the abundant blessings that God has poured out on us. It is rather silly to do so because we cannot move on and achieve better undertakings if we were to stay in the past continuously. Every scene our eyes see, every taste our tongues detect, every disparagement our souls take, every joy our hearts leap for, everything, they are the puzzle pieces that form the path of our yesteryear. Memories, they are entailed to make our lives more meaningful and interesting, albeit not all pleasant, they are not to become our encumbrances which impede us from savouring the fruit of today and sowing the seed for tomorrow.

Look to Jesus if you think you have nothing positive to look to.

A-Levels.
O Lord, help me to fight this battle triumphantly.

Let's see who has the tougher armor:
My Shield - God.
My Helmet - Jesus.
My Sword - The Holy Ghost.

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the power of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

Ephesians 6:10-12

And you?

A Lesson for A Lifetime

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:33-34

God gives us the ability to dream. The sensation of achieving one's dream is like an infant succeeds in making his mother carries him when she refuses to. (I know this is a very weird simile but who cares!) However, if we are too obsessed in attaining the trophy hereafter, we can easily overlook what we have in hand currently. God gives us dreams so that we may have hope for tomorrow, not to hinder us from enjoying today by worrying and immersing ourselves in fear unnecessarily. He has already taken care of everything after all.

Present is a more reliable gift than future. Take it. Love it. =)

A2 starts officially! Hopefully this one month of fighting will win me a ticket to the UK. I believe, by God's grace, all things can be done. He will faithfully guide me through the most challenging times, just as He has promised.

Enjoy it!

憧憬。爱情

就像每个女孩，

我憧憬着一段幸福永久的爱情。

无需轰轰烈烈，更不求荣华富贵，

平静低调无所谓，偶尔些许意外就足。

一生的陪伴，忠实的守候，一起的事奉，

心系的默契，无私的包容，互辅的成长

便是最浪漫之事。

我的爱情，要在主里寻得喜乐意义希望。

我的爱情故事，上帝是作者。

Songs of the Nature.

2011-05-04T08:44:00.000+08:00

I heart the sound of it. Oh certainly I do. It sings you a lullaby at night and during daytime, it washes your worries and restlessness away. All you would want to do then is to stop and be filled with amazement, wherever you are,whatever you are doing. Sometimes it brings about the scent of the earth which refreshes your soul and you know instantly you are close to the Mother Nature. The wind, the wind, you cannot see it but oh when it blows, the softness of its touch sparks off even the most tranquil of your heart. I especially love it when it starts drizzling before the dawn breaks. Then I know, even in my sleep, that I am still alive and that my Father is looking after me, humming gently the sweet melody of His love to my ear.

The world claims wealth and delectation more than what the Heaven can offer yet none can portray even the slightest conviction in the gentleness of His creations. It is God pouring out His love and grace on you. It is a promise that He will never leave you nor forsake you.

When the MayFlower Blooms.

2011-05-01T01:31:00.000+08:00

Time passes by rather swiftly. Sometimes I wonder if Time a thief, sneaking and peeking at you in a dark corner. He steals your precious seconds without giving you any further minute notice. The hour when you have finally realised it, sorry it's too late for regrets.

Mayhap the time has come for me to really stay focus on my priority and procrastinate no more. No regrets should be found when I look back in the future. I will vouch my words by being fruitful and obedient.

In this battle field, faith is my shield and prayer is my sharpest spear. Above all, God is my commander.

I will trust and give thanks whatever the outcome may be for I know God holds my future.

The spring draws nigh.

The trumpet of joyful triumph is vibrating.

God will be glorified.

Beyond the Surface.

2011-04-30T18:08:00.002+08:00

I feel like strangling myself sometimes for sleeping too much especially now that the final exam is so so so near. *Strangle*

I slept for five hours straight this afternoon. So basically my whole afternoon is gone! I'm great, right? Nay. I felt so terrible right after. 5 HOURS! I could have done something better and productive. Oh my I'm so speechless and disappointed.

I was sleeping and suddenly I heard the lovely sound of tik-tok tik-tok on the roof. Yes, it started raining. I love the sound of it But my clothes were still outside, supposedly for sunbathing not rain-soaking. Of course I ran out to fetch them immediately. Luckily the rain wasn't very hard on them. Or I should say, God covered them. He just wanted to wake me up.

Initially I wasn't aware of that. In fact, I blamed God. However, to my surprise, slightly after 10 minutes, the gloomy sky broke open and it was sunny once more i.e. I can have my clothes dried before sunset today. Yay!

From this, I learned that God is not to be blamed in all cases because He is ever faithful and He is truly amazing. Look further. See things beyond the sight. There is a noble purpose embedding each catastrophe in our lives. God is good and is to be praised.

Father forgive me for my ignorance. Thank You for all that are given to me.

###

I dreamed a dream.

In the dream, we are having a mass reunion. Everything is simply too real to be differentiated with the reality. I woke up with emptiness in my heart but God told me to trust.

We are all bound to go through this phase in life, it'd be unrealistic to expect that we'd have the same group of people we love around us forever. People come and go, but what is more important is that you know that wherever they may be, they still care for you and are always there for you whenever you need them. Same in this case, we miss you too... We may not be literally in your life on a daily basis, but we're definitely part of it for as long as you want us to be ;) Hugs♥ Hang in there :) - From Ning Xing via Facebook.

Life is beautiful. I'm loving it.

Epiphany.

2011-04-18T18:37:00.001+08:00

I just realise, you were trying to make me happy. Thank you. =)

Papers returned. Disappointments overwhelmed.

Very sad indeed but I will not give up. I want success and then be there with all of you.

I understand, failure doesn't mean forsaking of God, but simply a reminder from Him that I have not prepared adequately. Stay positive. Study smart. Rely on Him.

I will fly.

I wish there is something I can do to soothe the pain you feel.

Dear God, please heal him.

I was heading back to my chalet after lunch today and I noticed the sky. It wasn't the most sunshiny one neither was it a breathtaking one. But it just captured my attention.

A simple scenery He paints and yet it emerges as one that soaks your fatigue with a sense of joy and comfort. While the whole world is too busy and too inadequate to provide, God cares. His ways are simple but unique, insignificant but with force.

He, I look to in amazement.

This is not the aforementioned sky. But it looked somewhat like this. Very blue.

God is indeed the greatest and the most creative artist at all times! Unbeatable.

A Choice to Make.

2011-04-12T18:28:00.001+08:00

Love should be unconditional and long lasting, shouldn't it?

Whenever I see sweet couples, I smile unwittingly. Love is so contagious and people around you can actually feel it. Especially when you know them personally, and the stories behind their clasping hands.

I pray for their relationship to be able to endure the trials of time and distance, and that they will commit to each other trustingly knowing their halves will do so too.

It's love that we breathed every second for God loved us so much He let Love hung on the cross so that we can breathe new life.

There is this one very special person whom I have met,

he is my sunshine being taken away.

一曲终

2011-04-11T16:33:00.002+08:00

悲风咆哮宣告又一个卑微生命的结束

光荣或不终究会返回成灰不带走什么

遗留的只剩亲朋心中无人能取的地位

他们微笑诉说她的坚强努力为使心安

在曲终人离场散后又有谁看得见

他们心中的泪一直如雷雨狂下无阻

失去至情种在心田中的感觉

那寂寞并非短暂是个永恒的结痂

是面具下心伤独自流下的泪痕

You are not alone.
For you. Dated 9 April 2011.

Slacking...

2011-04-08T14:47:00.000+08:00

Oh no. No slacking. I have more to accomplish.

Previous failure and defeat should be the reasons for me not to fail again.

I must nail down the other papers.

And like what I've said earlier,

It's only trial.

It's going to improve.

Go girl, I believe you can!

If God is with you, then no one can be against you.

I thought it would be better this time. I worked for it, I did exercises, but still why did I go blank looking at the question paper just now? Ahh... I feel so useless now.

I just don't have a flair for Maths, do I? =(
