Imaginings
ABOUT the girl

My imaginings - stripped down bare and back to the basics.
Because life really doesn't need to be that complicated.

I have been a lot busier these days.
What with fyp, 2 extra mods and tuition.

I guess it is a blessing in disguise in someways, cos the less time I have to myself, the less my mind wanders... the less time I have to mull over things, and less likely to get depressed/upset/pms over it.

Yet it's like I'm fluttering from one task, one place to be.. to another. It feels superficial. Almost robotic.

It seems as if I simply do things, not experience em.

Hrm.

Hebrews 11:1
faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen




Thursday, January 24, 2008, 3:07 PM

In my quest to locate my TI financial calculator (thereby saving myself 1 day of my tuition pay), I had to (very reluctantly) go thru my drawers.

For those who somehow have the impression I'm a neat, anal and organized person, I'm sorry to disappoint. Drawers, to me, provide the greatest function of allowing me to chuck anything I don't feel like looking at or addressing at the moment. After which they become forgotton most of the time, so the pile and mess in there just grows. So yea, it's a messed up hole in there.

Anw, I came across my stack of painkillers. I think enough to last me 2 years plus, tho they would have expired by then. I've not had to pop those pills for a while now, tho that's not to say I don't get chest pains anyhow. I still do, but rarely I guess. I'm managing. So right now I'm contributing them to the common pool of house meds, instead of hoarding them in my room in case of some sudden paralyzing emergency. Hah.

I also found a piece of yellow paper in the same drawer. I cannot remember when I got it, or kept it. It's a yellow insert from the 8.30am bulletin some years back. The 8.30am anthem by the Chancel Choir. (ok this must be years old, cos I've not gone for 8.30 service in eons) It clearly must've struck a chord tho, cos I kept it neatly folded till now. Printed on the paper are the lyrics for the song Keep On Believing. (I promise I don't even know how the tune sounds like.) Here goes:

Sometimes, the shadows gather and mists obscure the way;
Sometimes, the clouds grow heavy, and darken all the day.
How precious to remember our Father's loving care,
That He still loves His children and He answers prayer.

Keep on believing God will answer prayer;
Keep on believing, never despair;
Though you be heavy-laden, and burdened down with care,
That God still loves His children and He answers prayer.

Sometimes, the way is dreary, we seem to walk alone;
Forgetting that the Father keeps watch above His own.
Now many needless sorrows the faithless have to bear.
For God still loves His children and He answers prayer.

O soul, weighed down with sorrow, beneath a heavy load,
Remember God will help you, however rough the road.
His grace is still sufficient for every load of care,
God ever loves His children and He answers prayer.

Keep on believing God will answer prayer;
Keep on believing, never despair;
Though you be heavy-laden, and burdened down with care,
That God still loves His children and He answers prayer.

I'm blogging super a lot today. But here goes anw.

DAY 17 - What Matters Most

No matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do,
I'm bankrupt without love.
- 1 Corinthians 13:3b

Love means living the way God commanded us to live. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is this: Live a life of love.
- 2 John 1:6

all the things and people we take for granted
gotta be careful..
cos one day they just might not be there anymore

I have an epiphany!

God is good, all the time!

As previously complained about, I was down with a viral rash, pityriases rosea, starting 23rd dec. For the longest time I was grouchy, sulky and just being plain anti-social.

PR, takes 6 - 8 weeks to go away. Haha that is a very long time to be grouchy ya.

Anw, so I kept praying for it to go away in 6 weeks.. Then one day Shawn pointed smth out to me. Saying how we keep praying for it to go away but keep believing it'll take 6 weeks, as the doc and med journals said. Why not pray for faster healing, and have faith in God.

You know you know. It was gone within a week since the change in attitude! Totals 3 wks plus of me having the stupid rash!

Peen asked what do I think God is trying to tell me. So yes, back to the epiphany.

I supposed God was teaching me about patience, yes, but more importantly about faith.


Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. - Hebrews 11:1

i'm upset

get a grip

I finally got the whole degree requirement thing sorted out.

For the longest time I was wondering why I'm 2 mods short of graduating but will end up with 165 MCs, instead of the required 160.

Turns out I just need 1 mod (tech depth) this sem to grad :)

Quite happy la, considering I wasn't sure if I'll ever get thru Engin.
Thank you, God, for holding my hand every step of the way..

I'm taking 2 extra anw. So right now it's fyp, ee4411, sc1101e and fna2004.

Suddenly sounds like a lot ya.

Hrm.

Hooray. Laptop sold.
A big THANKYEW to thungs and lk and everyone else who helped me ask around :)

I cannot believe school is starting in a week. This hardly feels like a holiday (my last school holiday apparently), cos of fyp and rash. I'm down to 2 mods and fyp. I smell freedom! :)

This past week has been nice tho. I stayed in quite a lot cos heat still bothers my rash. My friends have been great, visited me one of the afternoons. I heart you peeps!

Really sorry to all that I've pangsehed this hols, got rash! I'm almost ok alr tho, so yes. CAN MEET UP! CALL ME!!!

Oooooh. And I got myself a new wallet this week.

Anyhoo, considering it's the new year, I have a teeny weeny list of things I wanna do. I don't really consider it a resolutions list. More of a To-Do list. (Resolutions, as I have learnt, hardly work..)

So here goes:
1. Advance PADI
2. Learn CPR at SGH or CGH (anyone interested to learn with me? a one-day course)
3. Marathon

Ok this post has been completely random and unorganized.
But I think I like it this way :)
