never too much [28 Dec 2009|12:55am] unusuallullaby Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. post comment

Art of Giving and Receiving [27 Dec 2009|01:59pm] restlessplague [ mood | thoughtful ] If a gift was truly a gift and if giving was truly giving, there should be no strings attached. No expectations of anything in return. If not, disappointment is sure to follow. Even the most basic expectation of a "thank you" is still an expectation. One is to express appreciation out of courtesy but is not obliged to do so. No one will do as they are expected. Do not give hoping to attach puppet strings and therefore attempt to manipulate a desired reaction. So give only when you can and so desire. Do not give when you know you will expect reciprocation. It is not being selfish, it's about maintaining happiness. On the flip side, receive with caution. Do not receive when you know there are strings attached. Do show basic appreciation, it reflects well on you. Do as you're expected if you know what it is and if it does not infringe on your happiness or principles. Most of all, clear a "kindness" debt as soon as you can, it will save you a lot of trouble as "interest" always compounds. 2 comments|post comment

[27 Dec 2009|02:07am] after1990 Things worth Living for: 1) Family 2) Falling in love with the perfect boy 3) Best Friends 4) Laughing so hard, your stomach hurts 5) Knowing that somebody misses you 6) Having someone say something nice about you 7) Laughing at an inside joke 8) Spending time with old friends and laughing about our old childish ways 9) Waking up and realising you still have a few hours to sleep 10) Making new friends and spending time with old ones And also, 11) Having your friends springing a surprise on you, knowing that your birthday is coming soon. A day where your friends put aside some time for you, just because they want to make your day with their presence. Your friends willingly travel the distance to ulu Dempsey or Kallang Leisure Park, just to surprise you. Even though some of them stay as far as Jurong or Bishan. 12) Having the boyfriend plan your birthday surprise, whereby he had to message all my friends, communicate with them, and even lie to me, having me scold him for pretty much no reason at all the night before, because I refused to go bowling the next day. Yet, he still pushes on. The effort he put in, all the things he coordinated, months before my birthday. To the extent of contacting Jocelyn and Andrea in Australia (: ( THANK YOU SWEETS!!!!! ) 10 comments|post comment

[26 Dec 2009|07:53pm] judges6 I am serving the nation, five days out of seven now. People always ask, how's army, and right now, my answer has been shortened to 'Army is Army lor'. Army is Army. it is tough, it is tiring, I am glad to be out, so on and so forth, but it is bearable, it is tolerable. And thank God, I made it through the first two weeks. I mean seriously, like I told myself and the people around me as we were on our third set of 50 pushups, that all this will pass in twenty minutes. If anything, whatever shit you are going through will but pass in the next hour or so, so just suck it up and press on. and having been through fourteen days of being alone in a crowded area, I can say that to me, the worst is over. Punishment I can take. Making me run up and down, cleaning toilets and doing pushups is fine, because it will pass. So for now, I fear not the army, save for confinement. Christmas has been different this year. It seems more...muted, more toned down, like in church and stuff. No big christmas church dinner, no evangelistic outreach event, just a plain church service where we went out later. And that's fine, don't get me wrong. But Christmas just seems...less so. Maybe it's army not letting me build up the Christmas spirit and stuff but yeahhhh. It doesn't really matter though. For now, I am content and happy, because book in is tomorrow, not tonight. 1 comment|post comment

[25 Dec 2009|03:12pm] treasuresbeyond [ mood | content ] "Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!" -Luke 1:45 So today is christmas. The day Christ was sent to earth to die for the human race. His life's purpose was death. I don't think anybody else was made to die. I mean we all die, but nobody's was created TO die. Christ the basis of my eternal life. I often forget that I'm not living for the here and now. It seems to make so much more sense to live for the moment, for temporal things. I think right now, I'm not growing much; not really bearing fruits of lovejoypeacepatiencekindnessgoodnessfaithfulnessgentlenessself-control. I feel like I haven't worshipped God proper in a long time. I think I have a lot of head knowledge but not heart knowledge. God's word just goes through my head and like gets stuck in my throat? It doesn't sink deep into my heart. Maybe I don't meditate enough. Or put in the effort to pray about everything. Or maybe I just can't recognise my 24/7 need for God at this point. The story of Jesus coming to earth has been heard tons of times this season. I think I can recite it from front to back, back to front, and in Chinese if need be hahaha. Yet it's easy to miss the point that the whole point of Jesus coming to earth was because God wanted to have a relationship with me, with you, with EACH of us. Not a generic relationship but a personal, Father-child relationship. It's that simple. I know I'm often guilty of forgetting that relationship I have with my Heavenly Father, but knowing that He will neverrrr leave me is a comforting thought (: i love you Jesus.   post comment

onethousandtwohundredtwelve: you've got the love. [25 Dec 2009|11:31am] arakkon [ mood | calm ] [ music | The Noisettes - Every Now And Then ] 1. happy christmas, everyone!! here's to capitalism, consumerism and materialistic lifestyles that will hopefully fill the emotional, spiritual and for bimbz and himbz, intellectual trench in all of us 2. never have expectations 3. have come up with one new year's resolution already :D excite 4. how un-special today is 5. cannot wait to see people soon post comment

[25 Dec 2009|01:42am] undetected_code it is when we let ourselves care, that we get easily annoyed, angered - just more sensitive in general. it is important to catch ourselves when that happens. because it's usually just us, thinking, feeling too much. :) merry christmas everyone! 1 comment|post comment

Riddle of my life [24 Dec 2009|06:52pm] mrs_purefoy I try to push it to the back of my mind but it resolutely occupies my thoughts. I attempt to avoid it by hiding myself in corners of meaningless tasks but it always finds me. I run away but end up tripping over it. I hide beneath the covers but find that it has gotten under my skin. And frighteningly enough, might be actually here to stay. post comment

Especially tonight. [24 Dec 2009|02:37pm] the11th_hour [ mood | CHRISTMAS! ] [ music | Her Black Fedora Grin - Linford Detweiler ] A happy Christmas week to you!!

Can't wait to be at the family dinner later stuffing myself with all kinds of food! Short photo update of my life since i've been back: ( + ) Looking forward to the next few days!!!!! post comment

[24 Dec 2009|02:28am] gratitude_cafe Hope it lasts you long enough (: oh and by the way, check out how scarily famaliar the ending of this song goes. lyrics if you need be. Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, long time ago He saw an animal that liked to growl Big furry paws and he liked to howl Great big furry back and furry hair Ah, think I'll call it a bear Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, long time ago He saw an animal up on a hill Chewing up so much grass until she was filled He saw milk coming out but he didn't know how Ah, think I'll call it a cow Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, long time ago He saw an animal that liked to snort Horns on his head and they weren't too short It looked like there wasn't nothing that he couldn't pull Ah, think I'll call it a bull Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, long time ago He saw an animal leaving a muddy trail Real dirty face and a curly tail He wasn't too small and he wasn't too big Ah, think I'll call it a pig Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, long time ago Next animal that he did meet Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet Eating grass on a mountainside so steep Ah, think I'll call it a sheep Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, in the beginning Man gave names to all the animals In the beginning, long time ago He saw an animal as smooth as glass Slithering his way through the grass Saw him disappear by a tree near a lake... 4 comments|post comment
