[edit] i was talking to my aunt about 5 minutes ago, and she asked me why i always talked like i had a sorethroat. then she asked me whether i drank any yam cha. then i was like - uh whats yam cha. then she said "Wah! You better learn some cantonese if you ever get a cantonese girlfriend!"
haha hilarious!

okay. today we had a holiday (cheers for Dr.Ong).. and i spent my much needed time sleeping.okay maybe not, because i woke up at around 8... i guess the whole sleep-and-wake-up-early-at-6-for-school thing has gotten into my system. i actually woke up at 6 wide awake, and for five whole seconds i was awake, i was trying to remember something while sitting up on my bed, then i realised it was a holiday and flopped back down to sleep. (hurrah!)

i realised (after my long talk with my parents about the work-experience thing) that i have only one life. one life to live, to serve God, to make friends, to do the right things, and follow in God's will. i realised that time really is short. in a blink of an eye, the holiday is gone and poof - its school tomorrow again. (damn!) No matter how much you earn, whatever you do, money cant buy time, money cant buy friends, and money cant buy time to spend with friends - or friends to spend time with. money can neither buy time to spend with God.

i remember last time, reading Ecclesiastes (or however you may spell that-sorry short term memory) that "there is a time to work, a time to play, a time to laugh, a time to ...." so on and so forth. i guess.i really should even out my time.

so much for this "wasted holiday".

sorry about the essay. i just felt like it

-* Fellowship of the Unshamed- I am a part of the fellowship of the Unashamed. I have the Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. I am finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, chintzy giving, and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded, or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power. My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide is reliable, my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, deterred, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, back up, let up, or shut up until I've preached up, prayed up, paid up, stored up, and stayed up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I must go until He returns, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He comes. design by noids
