rediscovering eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

I cry out to God Most High,
to God, who fufills his purpose for me.
He sends from heaven and saves me,..
God sends his love and his faithfulness
Psalm 57: 2-3
Done with Social psychology and Social inequalities. Praise God! Had social inequalities this evening at 5 and it was ok la. Popped by a friend's place before heading to harbourfront food court to have dinner and study. It was a good conversation and haha quite a laugh as well.
Anw i think today i really had a enjoyable time and conversation with my good friend whom i will not mentioned who before he /she will be in a jeopardized position should someone *ahem i wont mention* pops by. It's interesting when u think about the beautiful memory, u will naturally think about the person/people who created that memory with you. And it gives you a warm feeling just thinking about the people and those times. It makes it even more impactful especially when it involves significant others. i had mine. But then again do i like the memory itself more than the person who created the memory with me especially when prompted by certain environmental cues that leads to the memory and then the person? It's strange and im still trying to rationalize the times we had.. did i like the memory more than i could have possibly liked you?
If i took away everything physically good about you, will i still appreciate you like i used to? What would remain?

Everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
Romans 15:4
i came across this book the other day by Dr Tim Elmore, Habitudes of a leader and he mentioned about the need to 'sharpen our axes'. Yes u heard it right.. we need to sharpen our axes.
It came from this story that talked about 2 lumberjacks who challenged each other to see who could cut down the most trees in one day. In the morning, the first one began furiously chopping down trees. He worked hard, sweating and by noon he had cut down 16 trees. The other lumber jack only cut down 4, because he took 2hrs to sharpen his axe. As he sharpened it, the first lumberjack laughed at him knowing that he was doomed to lose the challenge with all the wasted time.
But things took a change. By early afternoon, he first lumberjack was slowing down. It took him almost an hour ti cut one tree, while the other challenger was picking up speed. HOW COULD THIS BE? Certainly he was as string as his friend. But strength had nothing to do with it. It was all about the axe. About how sharp the axe was. The sharper the axe - the quicker the trees came down. By late afternnon, the second lumberjack who had sharpened his axe had passed up the first lumberjack by several trees and won easily. This story reminded me that although sharpening the axe in the morning wasn't exactly the most practical way to win the race, but in the long term, it will prove useful.
I know this seems abit familar. Like the story of the turtle and the hare. haha. But i guess there is more to this story than just who won the race in the end- the challenger who started last. To me i feel that the act of sharpening the axe reminded me the need to seek the axesharpener to get my tool sharpen so that i can carry on with my work for the day. And not just for that day but everyday coz ur axe will get blunt at the end of the day right. Next question you may ask is who shall we get our axes sharpened? I leave that to you to decide.

The Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:3
You have the sweetest looking pair of eyes. You are independent n i like independent males. Most importantly i think you will score well with my mum and of coz i think you can connect well with my two brothers as well. Although i know that there will be times that i will be busy and all and i would not have time to really deepen the relationship with you, i know you will understand. oh frankie dear, i'm determined to get you.... wait for me..
FRANKIE.
Frankie is 2 yrs old. He loves a good chin tickle as much as the next house cat. Frankie tends to rough-house, so he is looking for a home with no children or older children who will understand and know how to interact with him during playtime. Frankie is very independent and doesn't require constant attention. He is highly suitable for people with busy lifestyles. Sterilised, litter-box trained, vaccinated, suitable for single/multi-cat families

Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save,
nor is his ear too dull to hear.
Isaiah 59:1
It's funny how sometimes we only get to enjoy things better when they are almost over or when you know u wont get to it again. Although it may be really tiring or sometimes even nerve whrecking, at the end of the day when you look back, you realised that all these while it was really an enjoyable ride. How complex we humans are. One minute we complain like mad about how perharps we hate this person or the more common example; SCHOOL and yet the next we realised that 'Hey it wasnt so bad was it?'.
I admit i am one of them. Today i attended the last lecture for social psychology and i enjoyed it. Somehow for once the lecturer struck me as a really funny person and a good lecturer in fact.. hmm then again it may be just me or one of my lecturer's 'reverse psychology' tactics to make me write good comments about her. Afterall this is about Social Psychology right? haha but nah i felt that she was really sincere and i enjoyed this last lecture of hers.
Looking back i realised that i did enjoyed those hair-pulling, binge eating and sometimes even adrenaline rushing times when i had to mug and study for the 5 letter word: EXAMS. Although i agree that at that time it was really depressing and it gets worse when u realised that you have put on like another 5kg in the span of 5hours studying, but it was still enjoyable. Me crazy? Yeah perharps but hey dont tell me you dont remininscence about lost times.. We all do ok.
But i guess the reason why i felt that these times are the best times is mainly coz it's the time when you are more settled after the hustle n bustle of rushing assignments that are 1/4 worth of your grade. More importantly, it's the time when you get closer to someone. For me, it's someone that most of you might be familar with. My Father in Heaven. My God. My Almighty and Loving King.
It is these times that you want to cuddle n rest in His Love and comfort. His words of encouragement when you feel like giving up and of course when you need a hug, like a physical one, He sends someone precious to give you one. I think we humans are very contradictory. When we need something or someone, the pressence of that special person becomes more special but when we are too busy for that someone or something, we totally forget that they actually existed. So dear friends take your time to appreciate the people around you. take time to know them for who they are. And take time to appreciate and know that He is there when you need Him and say this little prayer that wouldnt even take a minute to thank Him. You know who i am refering to.
To my heavenly King: Thank you for the grace and love you so freely gave. For the times that you were with me yet i did not care. Thank you for hearing me when im unheard by common man. Thank you that you care. :) *sends a sweet smile*

"They will call on my name
and i will answer them;
I will say, 'They are my people,'
and they will say, 'The Lord is our God,' " says the Lord.
