watch this.

gorgeous voices, i love it..


notice the look on the faces of some of them as they sing, totally indulging in the melody.. child-like innocence, simply singing makes them so happy..


people ask me if i'm sure i wanna be a missionary after my studies.. after all it'd be common to think i'm pretty successful in terms of studies and all, why not move on to bigger and better things that could rake in the benjamins..


to these people i scoff at, for at the end of the day, what can money buy you?.. seeing those kids, even on lousy youtube mode, that's priceless.. those kids (they're from africa btw) know how happiness is derived from contentment.. for they have nothing, no monetary assets to their name.. but they are contented..


while at the other end of the spectrum, how many power and money hungry people out there are miserable, for there is never enough.. there isn't a limit to how much you can have and the chase of these things bring no sense of satisfaction..


i know that pursuing the things of God is all that matters and i will never let it go.. being able to interact with kids who are absolutely delightful to be around is just an added bonus haha.. i've had enough of the typical singaporean kids who are often seen throwing tantrums for not being able to get that toy they wanted..


over-indulgent brats.. go suck eggs


But you know that I will run
You know that I will follow you

Relationships

undisturbed by torrents

yet bruised in the winds

forbiddingly intense

still, imperative to live

bringing fortresses to rubble

giving heartaches that lasts

yet joy and strength's concurrent

with its presence spring forth life

construction

destruction

wisdom i need
wisdom we need

can't sleep, mulling over this..

relationships can build you up, yet tear someone apart.. unavoidable, we need it to live.. so we need to be able to deal with it properly, and we cannot do it alone.. i pray that God will lead my step in every relationship i have with people.. that may none fall apart and may all be honoring to Him..

talk about degrading societies, more and more states in the U.S are legalising gay marrriages.. when i accidentally saw the horrifying image of adam lambert frenching a guy, i scrolled down to the comment box to see stuff like "wow that's hot!"

just about a decade ago seeing two guys hold hands was enough to cause an uproar.. now it is socially acceptable in every part of the world.. (ok maybe not tribal lands or something) in fact it is socially UNacceptable to frown upon such behaviour as we have all learnt from the AWARE incident..

when miss california answered in her missUSA pagent question that gay marriages are unacceptable, they interviewed some christians and asked them how they felt about it and they said they were ashamed of her cos we are to love our neighbors as ourselves and gay marriages should hence be acceptable as we are to embrace them..

mmhmm, ever heard of loving the sinner but hating the sin?.. bahh, what can you expect from a country which has gay churches right..

i dont know why i'm blogging about this anyway, controversy is not my cup of tea.. i just feel indignant about the compromises made to the word of God.. by no means am i saying i will isolate gays/lesbians and burn them at stake, nor will i even in the least ostracise them.. it's simply appaling to me what the world has come to..

will it be that in a few years i'd have to accept pple who have sex with animals?.. the recoil you feel from this very statement was what used to be the reaction towards gays.. the slippery slope argument stands tall for perversion has creeped into our society and will only continue expanding..

we are numb, numb to it all.. losing your virginity becomes essential in social acceptance when it used to bring utter disgrace.. teaching abstinence before marriage soon became the as-long-as-you-know-he's-the-one argument which further evolved to: just wear a condom.. look at yourselves, look at what we have become..

humans acting like uncontrollable animals with their irrepressible animalistic instincts.. some may tell me i'm over-reacting, afterall spore's not that bad.. well, i'll try to remind myself of that fact the next time i see couples groping each other on the mrt.. or the bus... or lifts.. or corridors.. or stairways.. bus stops.. under some random tree...

now that that's outta my system.. the real reason for this blog post..

the poem says it all i guess... relationships are hard to deal with sometimes, for some maybe all the time.. but we are called to love, i need patience.. friendships forged were meant to last a lifetime and not be blown away at the slightest of winds..

may everything i do and say be out of love..

taggies:

abijoy: you have no arm fats either please?!? have you seen yourself?.. skinny little thing )):

esther: hey estee if i had more thumbs i'd def make them give you a standing ovation.. that's how much i love you haha!

ps: michelle's entire top half of her wedding gown was made of crystals and diamonds?!?? pfft it's nice to have sponsors..


better to have love and lost than to never have loved at all..

hah oh well i promised someone a bimbotic post so here goes.. i have nothing in mind so i'm just gonna ramble on and on about random stuff and i'm pretty positive that in the end it'll turn out kinda on the bimbotic side hahh..

i think that esther's a great blogger, loveee reading her blog.. it's a very good balance of bimbotism and everyday life kinda thing (so i know how she's doing wayyyy over there) and intellect.. mmhmm, 2 thumbs up

so anyway, lemme tell you about the latest movie i watched, xmen origins.. well, watch it on a $6 day is all i'm gonna say.. why?.. cos the lead girl, kayla something, she aint pretty!! plus, my fave xmen of all time -GAMBIT (whoo everyone start cheering!) ain't hot enough! it's his friggin debut, can't you find some hotter guy?!?

ok ok so i take into consideration there might be some of my readers who DON'T know who gambit is.. lemme show you

gambit's power is that he can channel energy (something like chakra i guess) into cards and like kinda flick them so they turn into spinning cards of death (W-O-W) plus he uses a staff for physical combat.. staffs are always cool, like moses :D

whoa.. smokin' (:

i safely rest my life in your hands!.. *swoons*

mmhmm.. get the idea?.. in come gambit hollywood-ised..

A man and his young son were once going with their donkey to the market. As they were walking along by its side, a countryman passed them and said: “You fools, what is a donkey for but to ride upon?”


So the man put the boy on the donkey and they went on their way. But soon they passed a group of men, one of whom said: “See that lazy youngster, he lets his father walk while he rides.”


So the man ordered his boy to get off, and got on himself. But they hadn't gone far when they passed two women, one of whom said to the other: “Shame on that lazy lout to let his poor little son trudge along.”


Well the man didn't know what to do, but at last he took his boy up before him on the donkey. By this time they had come to the town, and the passersby began to jeer and point at them. The man stopped and asked what they were scoffing at. The men said: “Aren't you ashamed of yourself for overloading that poor donkey of yours—you and your hulking son?”


The man and boy got off and tried to think what to do. They thought and they thought, till at last they cut down a pole, tied the donkey's feet to it, and raised the pole and the donkey to their shoulders.


They went along amid the laughter of all who met them till they came to Market Bridge, when the donkey, getting one of his feet loose, kicked out and caused the boy to drop his end of the pole. In the struggle the donkey fell over the bridge, and his fore-feet being tied together, he was drowned.





the moral of the story? you can never please everybody..


oh how we know this theory in our heads, but do we act upon it? no.


man's natural and insatiable appetite to be liked is the downfall of many.


for by trying to please all, you will please none.


so much guilt, more regret.


striking a balance is way too hard.


maybe i should swing to the other extreme.


don't worry about me i'll be fine.


all i need is some smarts lessons.


unaffect me.


thanks lis and giana!! 2 of the best people ever to have stepped into my life. don't leave. ever. i love you guys to bits

Change.

i laugh too loudly sometimes.

i comment about things and people tactlessly.

i think i'm fat.

i talk to inanimate objects.

i smile to myself quite often.

i love ice cream.

i trip over my own feet.

i like to stare out the window when it rains.

i don't know the order of the alphabet till i sing it in my head.

i sing in the shower all the time.

i dream a lot.

i think a lot.

i talk a lot.

i touch a lot.


bits and pieces that make me who i am, some more pleasant than others. and some of them simply make me someone i don't wanna be. change, i promise i will. give me time to show you good things come to those who wait. time.
