Matthew 5:13-16 (New International Version)Salt and Light 13"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

We rode into town the other dayJust me and my DaddyHe said i'd finally reached that ageAnd i could ride next to him on a horseThat of course was not quite as wideWe heard a crowd of people shoutingAnd so we stopped to find out whyAnd there was that manThat Dad said he loved But today there was fear in his eyesSo i said "Daddy why are they screaming?Why are the faces of some of them beaming?Why is He dressed in that bright purple robe?I'll bet that crown hurts Him more than He showsDaddy, please can't you do something?He looks as though He's gonna cryyou said he was stronger than all of those guys Daddy, please tell me whyWhy does everyone want him to die?"Later that day the sky grew cloudyAnd Daddy said i should get insideSomehow he knew things would get stormyBoy was he rightBut i could not keep from wonderingIf there was something he had to hideSo after he left i had to find outI was not afraid of getting lostSo i followed the crowdsTo a hill where i knew men had been killedAnd i heard a voice come from the crossAnd it said, " Father why are they screaming?Why are the faces of some of them beaming?Why are they casting their lots for My robe?This crown of thorns hurts Me more than it showsFather, please can't You do something?I know that You must hear My cryFather, remind Me whyWhy does everyone want Me to die?When will i understand why?""My precious Son, I hear them screamingI'm watching the faces of them beamingBut soon I will clothe You in robes of My ownJesus this hurts Me much more than You knowBut this dark hour I must do nothingThough I've heard Your unbearable cryThe power in Your blood destroys all of the liesSoon You'll see past their unmerciful eyesLook there below, see the childTrembling by her father's sideNow i can tell you whyShe is why You must die" -Why, Nicole Nordeman Jesus died for us.

its not like me to live a life fraught with dangers and engulfed by darkness of the unknown. i can't say i prefer the routine; i do like my usual surprises, but i don't want to lead a life i totally have no control over. we won't work out; we're just too different. your life is not the kind i want to lead..i'm sorry.. i hope you understand..anyway so i was reading this article yesterday, four different writers penned their thoughts on this title: " For sale: Baby shoes, never worn". its quite amazing how different the stories are. well not that different considering that they have to revolve around baby shoes, but still.. hahah! maybe i'll write something about it too. INSPIRED! (:YAY i love wishing people merry christmas! (: it just feels so good to be able to share the joy with people i love! especially because i was watching Love Actually when it turned twelve last night! it really made me feel that love actually, IS all around! (: OKAY! off to watch tv now! must enjoy while i still can because i have this creeping suspision that i'll be very busy soon! once again, MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS! LOVE AND ENJOY BEING LOVED! (:

night in the museum is not too bad!caught it earlier in the day, its about this museum which comes alive at night. or rather, the things inside the museum come alive at night. plot's not too cliched, but well revolves around usual themes like parental love and team spirit. the cute part abt this film is the directing i think. the director potrays the happenings from two different angles, very near and very far, and the funny part is how so many things are happening, but everything seems so calm from afar! its kinda hard to explain, i guess you've got to watch it to get it! not a must catch, but if you've cash to spare, why not!YAYchristmas! love this warm fuzzy feeling i get every christmas, its like everyone is filled with joy and peace and hope and thanks! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! (:

today is granddad's anniversary. i kinda miss him, especially on days like this. although i'm not very close to him, but i can feel how much grandma misses him. its just different without him.. the good thing is that he went peacefully, no pain, no troubles, and perhaps in bliss even. guess its what matters the most huh?so today i went to grandma's house for lunch, played around with my cousins, and then went to the bukit batok polyclinic to see the doctor. i hate going to the polyclinic can?! its usually a boring 3 hour wait to see the doctor and collect medicine. and the consultation usually lasts only about 15 minutes. urghh. and today, according to the doctor, the insides of my nose are swelling, and he made me buy this spray, costing TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS AND FORTY CENTS. absurd! waste so much money on 30 ml of spray. sigh sigh, hole in the pocket!seniors:disco outing, 27th dec!bring a small gift if you want to take part in gift exchange, and we'll meet 11 ouside jurong east macsif not, we'll meet you at the jurong east control station at 12, and then its WEST COAST PARK to play! exciting!how come everybody's going west coast park for outing? weird.

I AM HOME!!!!!!!!!
hahaha. actually i was home quite some time ago, reached singapore about 730 last night, just couldn't find the time to update!
so about my trip! i went to: nanjing, wuxi (i've never heard of it before this either), suzhou, hangzhou, shanghai. the trip was very ULTRA fun. its amazing how pretty and scenic the place is. especially hangzhou and suzhou. they have a phrase there, it goes shang you tian tang, xia you su hang so you can imagine how pretty the place must be! but it was quite cold there. i tell you if anybody sweats there, they must be abnormal. nanjing and shanghai are very modern. i was surprised at how much they look like singapore(other than the fact that everything is in chinese). and NO there are no toilets without doors there. seriously. you'll be astonished at how much they've progressed in the past few years. but! a minus point is that their food there is ermm not very impressive. i mean afterall who wouldn't expect china to have yummylicious food! they've served emperors for goodness sake! then again, according to james the tour guide, we haven't tried the nicest food yet. so maybe one day i'll join a tour group that does nothing but eat and try all the yummy food! haha excited!
yeah well another thing that touched me alot was when i was returning to singapore. when we arrived at the airport it was already dark, but it was BEAUTIFUL i tell you. the skyline is absolutely ROMANTIC!!! words cannot do justice to how pretty it was. its the kind of thing you must see yourself to know what i mean! so right if you guys go overseas, try to get a night flight back. or at least one that arrives in the night! haha!
i can't wait for the first day of school! crazy right! but seriously i'm excited at the prospect of making new friends and playing at orientation and joining a new cca! haha!

BACK FOR A DAY AND FLYING OFF TMR NIGHT!all this travelling's wearing me out.took a night bus to klang on friday to visit my relatives, then came down to malacca on monday, before coming back singapore tuesday morning. then was disco chalet until today morning, lunch with chengxi to catch up and home to catch up on long lost and urgently needed sleep!tired!i keep jolting from my sleep! like i an sleep really soundly then suddenly just jump up feeling super afraid. then i realise that i have nothing to be afraid of! how weird eh?i keep trying to convince myself that all this is for the better. how much of it i believe i have no idea either. they say time can heal all wounds. i sure hope it can. cus i'm feeling quite miserable and pathetic that i allowed things to turn out this way when i didn't want it to in the first place. its really like all my ideals crumbling down. sigh. i really didn't want things to turn out this way; i feel like such a failure. how is it that all this could have happened?!!countdown: 7 years

sometimes i really regret the things i do. everything ought to be so simple yet because of the difference in understanding it turns out so complicated. no, i still do not believe that you mean all that you say. i still believe that all you have said to hurt me is to make me understand and become stronger. perhaps it is better that i believe you, so that maybe this ending will have a softer tone. honestly, even until now, i still don't know how you truly feel. if you meant what you said, why were there tears in your eyes? guilt? i'd love to think that way too. you know its honestly going to be a lot easier if i hate you. but i cannot. you have already taken an undeniable position in my heart. but i promise you, i won't let you feel guilty any longer. i promise.lolssounds a little corny.. but i hope then that all this stops here! i want to find back the bubbly happy enthu me!
