Indulging.

Many days I've spent,
Many nights I've tried.
Finding what's my purpose,
It was so tough that I cried.

Yet You knew what were my faults,
Yet You chose to be on the side of me.
Through the salvation that was free.

It's a long long journey,
Would you tell me what to do?
For I need to be close,
To You.

Adopted.

She's a pastor's daughter, she's only sixteen
But her heart and her belly are breaking at the seams
Her boyfriend blames her, he wants to pay
For the doctor to wash it away.

As she lays in the hospital, a Christmas choir is singing
About a child in a manger fragile and small
"Unto us is born a Savior", she looks at her baby and cries
As she sings him a lullaby.

I once heard of this story and it goes about an adopted child.
The child was strong in heart and said with pride, "Although I was an accident, but it was my foster parents who chose me."

Was touched by his point of view. Looking at different perspective in life is tough, but it brings life into another dimension. :)

Praises.

Nothing in my hands I'll bring,
Simply to the cross I'll cling.
For all that you have done for me,
This love song I will sing.

gemeinschaft.

Sometimes people make the effort to tap on the social network is due to extrinsic motivations.

Examples of the above could be money and fame?
Project group mates in polytechnic is one very good example as well. But obviously, for the past 1 year in school, I do value my project group mates a lot. And obviously I hope that they share the same sentiments as well.

A close friend of mine was sharing with me that her classmates communicated with her with reference only to school work related. I felt that was kinda sad because it was such a "plastic" relationship.

Well, I'm really glad that at least I was considerably a friend of her. A genuine friendship is what I do cherish a lot.

But yes, mixing and blending in an environment that offers a healthy social circle is important. Like they all say, "birds of the same feather flocks together."

At times I kept wondering what is it like to be in a college's enviroment. A bro of mine that's in a college was saying, "its a very very stressful lifestyle." But could this stressful lifestyle benefit us, students even better? Or would an independent and flexible school life like polytechnic has an overall advantage?
Guessed that at the end of the day, its the striving attitude we've cultivated from either of the institution that matters.

LOL I can't believe it. I texted someone with regards of birthday wishes and realised I did it one month in advance.

Blessed.

Psalm 84:4, "Blessed are those who dwell in your house; they are ever praising you."

Sometimes when Christians ain't hungry for God's presence, they don't manifest His presence to the surroundings. Things of the world such as entertainment, monetaries etcetc have filled these members of the body of Christ so much that they are filled up with these "junk foods".

At times we're so filled with these junk foods that spiritual foods from the word in the bible can't be "digested" into our lives.

& the only way to be back on track is to have these trashes in our lives out of our body.

Rhythms.

Push me,
And then just touch me.
Until I can get my,
Satisfaction.


LOL. This song was kinda stucked in my head. Strong beats of music really draws your attention sometimes. Sorry to be sensitive but yeah, felt its kinda satanic.
Maybe its okay to listen to such music once awhile, as long theres' moderation.

Had a long day on friday, which was a few hours back.
Celebrated Jeremy's birthday at cineleisure. Well bro, HAPPY 18th Birthday! :)
Hope you had enough fun, although the line-ups were quite predictable :x

I've learned quite a lot of stuff today.
I was asked if I could meet this lady for an "in-depth" interview about saving money. Previously I did that survey in school or something.
So we met at City Hall's starbucks since I had nothing better to do at home, other than just rotting away my life.

As she was explaining the why's and the how's about people should really save their money, at that point I knew she's either a salesperson trying to do some personal selling, or rather, an insurance agent.
I was right when I asked her if she was working for such a firm.

Hahaha, she's working in the same office place as my mum!
Basically, what she was trying to get the message across to students like me, we should keep a sum of money before even spending.
Just like tithing in church, giving our first fruits of salary before even spending on other expenditures.

Well, it all voice down to individual's way of living their life.

Maybe if I wasn't studying in this diploma, I might not even know the persuasion knowledge she had, let alone knowing if she's someone trying to prospect.

Anyway, the way she presented the policy were quite commendable. A person who was an ex student in TP, and graduated with a bachelor in Marketing at SMU. Good experience indeed.

10 months and those sentiments remains the same.

Competitiveness.

"And I stay amazed, you are so much more than words could ever say.
I'll pour out my praise, on the One who never ceases to amaze me."

Was with Yeow and Tim at Orchard Ion after church service.
When the both of them went their seperate ways, I've decided to take a few floors up, like the 3rd or 4th floor. Haha, more or less likeafieldstudy.

Well, its hard to believe that actually selling toy gift collection could actually survive in such high-end rental location.
"Das Erzgebirge-Haus" was its name. Went to checked it out furthermore, found out that its a store originated from Germany. It sells mainly exclusive small wooden toys, candle holders etcetc.

Some small wooden angel toys would cost like $50 each. And the cheapest full set is like $500, comes with the decorating board and all.
And yeah, something really caught my eye. One of the display was showcasing a scenerio where people in the church were singing christmas carols. It was beautifully decorated, cost at least $1000 for the full set? Hahaha. Wanted to take a picture of the set. But it strictly says no photography and all. :(

Really, some people just have the need to posses such collectibles. Could be a form of favourite past times. Although it seems that buying such small stuffs might be lame or whatever, but this could be some of the consumer's style of spending money in their life hahaha.

Afterall I guess its business is doing really well, because so far I've not seen any shop that has the same retail mix that offers such cute and cheeesy gifts. Its at 4th floor of Ion if im not wrong, beside the coldstorage. Do take a look if you ever have the time. :)

Happy Birthday Mum.

Just got back home.
Celebrated Mum's birthday today with an uncle and auntie of mine at some coffee shop at Toa Payoh.

Well, the dishes were quite well spread I supposed. Although it was only the 4 of us, but yeah I enjoyed their company.

Just a little note to mum:

Hey Mum, although I've not been a filial son towards you. Maybe I don't really care about the naggings that you've always did to me. But still, I just wanna thank you for the times you've shown me your love in everyway.

Thanks for the times when you've cooked for me, although I didn't really appreciate it at that situation.

Thanks for making coffee for me during exam periods.

Thanks for the time when you've sent me to school when I was late and yet I complained that you've took sucha long time to get ready.

Thanks for pulling the plug of the modem when I was super addicted to computer games during my secondary school life.

Thanks for being.. hahaha so many stuffs! I can't type and spell it all out.
&
Thanks for being a strong Mum.

I know being as a single parent, taking care the both of us is a huge responsibility you've gotta take.

Im sorry for retorting back damn rudely when you've scolded me.
Sorry for the times sis and I made you cry.
Sorry for the times Im gonna make you angry in the future too.

And yeah, I thank God for having such a super Mum, like you.
I'll promise I will do great in life, in return, support you with the best ability that i can.

Haha, I bet you'll not see this little note I've written here.
Anyway, wishing you all the best in life.

God is going to do big things in your life.

Happy Birthday :)

Hello, hellokitty.

Life's damn down for me after today.

Sometimes when things don't turn out the way you've wanted it to be, you'll tend to get demoralised even though hardwork is put in.

Many of times we're bounded by the "Y- Road".
Obviously, we can't have the best of both worlds.
But what matter most is that the decision we make would be the best of route for us.
What's life without obstacles isn't it?


Im lost for words whenever I take a look at it. Let alone a third person's point of view.
Tell me about it, wouldn't you?
