Start of holidays!

How nice.. its finally the start of the midterm break..... and yet.. i feel tired... hmmm the week must have worn me out.. i guess coz i had quite a lot of bad news and am still not very settled with where i'm going next year. Its confusing and sometimes i do wonder if God is staying away from me for this time... sigh ...

'When I was young i had dreams, of the prince and princess and happily ever afters, when hope was of a future of sunshine and flowers. As I grew older the dreams became maybes and reality set in. The dreams became just a myth of days long past. The harsh realities were learnt through failures, mistakes and the simple cruelty of life. And then the hopes became just dreams, of a time that would not come to pass. A refuge in the innermost self when the evils became too much. Survival was for the adaptable and that little part where you once thought all was perfect and beautiful was lost to the tides of practicality and reality.'

What a blast!!!

Wow... i'm blown away.. i went to the sharing by a guy who like basically died.. went to see heaven, hell n God n was risen again! It was just amazing! The detail and all and what more he related it to the Bible quite specifically... Its just awesome how God can be so amazing!!! Even though he wasn't a Christian he was guided by God to accept Christ like just before he actually died... it was just totally so supernatural and yet real! God is real!

"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' " Luke 16:31

Rest...

Waaahh... relief.. so glad that my "rat race" ie anatomy test is over :p.. now i can at least take a deep breath and relax.. the week has been way too hectic for my liking and i've done none of my many computer tests yet. I know i'll have to pay the price of that next week ...

oh well.. did i mention we have caught 5 mice now so far.. hehe .. but none today...either there's no more or the idea of just a raisin with no nutella coating is not very attractive to the average mouse oh well... i think i'll just type less and rest more... :p

Rest........ ahhhhh.........

Ooh.. hehe mouse update.. we've caught 4 mice so far!!! Don't think thats supposed to be a good thing..... but hope we don't get anymore or maybe they'll just go away and leave us alone. I guess i won't post up the pics then..... hehe since it is pretty gruesome.. hmmm.. but i took pics of all 4 of them.. i'll have to figure out where to put them...

Sigh today has been a very tiring day.. i don't feel like doing anything.. i'm just glad my communication skills interview was over... n i've handed in the tape and book.. hopefully i don't have to do it anymore...

I want to take a nap!!! :( but i still have work....

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" Matthew 11:28

Pest control!

Our flat has a problem with mice... or to be more specific one mouse... that has been scurrying around in the cupboards leaving poop!!! ... eeww.... n today a friend lent us a rat trap which was set up n we managed to catch the mouse!! It was so gross.. eewwww... the poor little (kinda cute) brown mouse was caught under the trap ... with big black eyes still open.. so freaky.. i think ruth is severely traumatised coz she was there when it actually happened...!! Poor little mouse.. although can't say i'm not happy its gone!

Oh well weekend... next week is gonna be busy .. not looking forward to it... not really in a mood to study too but i know i got to arghhhh! its so annoying... hmmm.. should i post that pic of the mouse? its very disturbing.. i have to say....

Overdue b-day post!

Hehe i know this post is long overdue.. i just have been really busy with all the work n stuff n today i finally have more time on my hands!! I just feel so blessed to have such great friends! My b-day was on Tuesday n can u believe what angela did ? she threw cream at me!!! EEEEeeeeew... not sthg i particularly enjoyed but i have to congratulate them on their dedication and reasonable success even if the aim was oh so a bit off :p ...The plan was.. i think that she would come to my place early.. whereby 2 of my naughty flatmates let her in at 5am nonetheless .. n set stuff up.. n so i got a miss call at 6.45 am ? eventhough angela said she'd come over at 7.10am.. no. 1 suspicious factor :p.. no. 2 was that when i opened the door eventually.. (coz i didn't really wanna wake up, was trying to ignore the call) there was like all these paper taped across my door? which i think i was supposed to walk through but i'm blur but not totally stupid :p so yeah.. i just kinda ripped the edges off... nicely :p hehe n got through... no. 3 suspicious factor was that the light in the hallway was on ... at 6 sthg in the morning? quite unlikely.. hehe and the no.4 factor.. which was quite a tell-tell sign.. was that Ruth was hiding under the window next to the door leading to the kitchen... i peeked in and saw her straight away :p.. (in red pajamas too!) hehe.. but stil i opened the door.. carefully.. stuck my hand in to on the light.. but then.... see this is where i got ambushed... !! And splat this icky mess of white cream.... ok .. that was totally expected i suppose .. hehe n a whole bunch of white polystyrene balls which totally stuck everywhere !! Argh!! hehe took a shower n got treated to a nice breakfast after! (did i mention that the bathroom mirror was done up with Lipstick!! which took some effort to get off !!!)

:) It's nice to have someone care enough to do something like that i suppose... (looking on the bright side! ) and also really grateful to all my friends n flatmates who managed the dinner thingy on Saturday! Was really nice... very yummy double choc mocha cake :p n the candles n lovely Blue n White balloons in the flat were a lovely surprise ! :) So really big THANK YOU to all !! gives me that warm fuzzy feeling inside :P

Yay...! The pic from Angela's ball last week.. nic deco aye? Hehe... well thats me n my flatties n our honourary flattie :p.. The theme was pink... (my skirt is pink right?)

Eternity...

Hmmm.. i've just been trying to post a pic from angela's b-day party from last week but its not going up!! arghhhh.. hehe....

anyway have been going through Purpose Driven Life n i find it very good. Its really giving me a perspective on eternity. I kinda realise that this life is not forever, its temporary and God has promised so much more to come. So what am I to do? This life is full of challenges and how we face it will affect how we spend eternity! To be faithful in what little we have now and we will be able to be faithful with bigger things when we are entrusted with them in hte future. Its hard in a sense coz its just so abstract. I can't see the end of the line.. i can't see what's gonna happen in the future and its just so easy to fall back and live life for my own gain.

"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen itemporary but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18

It's really like a struggle all the way.. n sometimes you're up sometimes you're down.. so confusing... But i suppose God never promised life would be easy. But He did promise us the strength to carry on.

"His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness." 2 Peter 1:3

To live a life that brings glory to God... He has given us all that we are n i believe true fullfillment, joy, peace, rest... is through Him only.

"Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:13-14

Times past...

I'm devastated!! I just finished reading Harry Potter Book 6 like after a 2 day marathon or so.. since i'm more free these few days... ... ... ... the front was pretty mundane .. just describing the normal stuff.. but man.. the ending.... was soooo sad... n very inconclusive... its a pity i already got quite a bit of spoilers from other ppl but still...well now that i've finished that can get it out of my system for a while.. its been annoying not being able to finish the book when i have had it for a while already :p ...

I guess just reminiscing..friends are really special people... aside from family... And yet sometimes the greatest joy is not what a person can give you but what joy you can give them. Somehow its more fulfilling that way.. hehe.. although it may be a bit self righteous n all i suppose... ~~~~~~~~ ok i'm babbling...

New week...

wOW time sure flies.. its monday already!! n i haven't updated for an age it seems ;P.. was really busy last week with classes n stuff n angela's b-day party on Saturday!! Eventhough it didn't go exactly according to our "wonderful" plan.. i think it still worked out pretty well ! At least we accomplished on of our missions on that night.. hehehe... Got back real late on Sat night.. man was i tired.. amazing that i still managed to get up for school of leaders on sat with some txt msging from Josh.. can't imagine how anyone can naturally wake up early !

Ooh n yesterday we "nearly" managed to cream angela!! Unfortunately she tilted her head back at the last moment!!! Arghhh.. should have applied more force..!!!! hmph!!!! no fair..but i guess she still willingly creamed herself for us after that :p.. hehe .!!! I can't wait to see those pics :p

n yeah.. today is monday... busy day.. again!! 8am start really does not help my mood n enthusiasm first thing in the week oh well.....
