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.

sometimes i hope a genie would just appear and grant me a wish. and i would wish for all this to disappear. never to be seen again. to take it all away. i've had had enough.maybe i have been lacking faith all this while.
stop confusing me. fuck you.
i hate always being the initiator.
Mayday Parade's Tales Told By Dead Friends is one of the best and my favourite albums.

"One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life"
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life"
Psalm 27:4
what an exhausting week for me! a mentally exhausting one that is.
Leader's Prep Camp (LPC) by VCF was fantastic! made several new friends from the other faculties and of course, i certainly encountered God in the few days of this camp. though the many discussions, sharings and talks were mentally draining, i have definitely learnt alot and i can feel God's presence and His guidance in my life.
The Alpha Course sessions held in my church last night and most of today were equally fruitful. The talks were on the Holy Spirit and this prompted me to think - i do not know much about this Holy Spirit and yes i do want to find out more during this holidays. gonna grab some books to read up before school starts!
All in all i had marvellous week and truly, there is no greater joy and peace than being in the presence of God. i have this longing and desire to know Him more and more each day and i believe that He will satisfy this desire if i truly seek Him. and this was what i committed at the start of the holidays.
So i have been jobless for about a month now. pretty much loving this carefree lifestyle of rotting at home. oh and Game of Thrones is so damn good i finished 2 seasons in 3 days! i am currently reading 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami which is excellent thus far to say the least.
i should probably get a job soon haha. Australia holiday with the family in July! can't wait. but it also means sending little sis there to study ):

and Year 1 in NUS has concluded! okay it finished last Friday but i was busy hibernating and playing the past few days. anyway wow, time flies! it just flew past so damn quickly and i must say the past academic year has been not easy to say the least.
late nights, early mornings, overnights, sleepless nights, pressure, stress, rush, blood, sweat, tears yup that pretty much summed up Year 01. damnit it was not easy, no way was it any easy. and if i were to do it all over again, hmm i shall not think about that.
and so the holidays are here! 3 months of freedom oh yeah. i wanna travel but i need money so i need to work but i am lazy to work. haven't been finding any jobs. i will
anyhow here are some things i would like to accomplish during this summer break!
1) Learn Illustrator.
2) Brush up on InDesign, Photoshop and Sketchup skills
3) Draw, draw, draw! At least learn new drawing techniques
4) Read, read, read! Plenty of Time magazines piled up
5) Improve on my guitar and bass. Experiment with different playing styles.
6) Exercise! Buff up and get fit.
okay these things are way easier said than done. i shall start... tomorrow.
oh damn my English is horrendous. got to improve, definitely.

what a shitty day today has been. right from the moment i stepped out of my house, nothing seemed to be going my way.had a paper today so i decided to head to school earlier. as such i left the house about an hour and a half before the start of the exam (i usually take about half an hour to get to school) but only reached school five minutes after the start, all thanks to the bus. and the paper was kinda difficult (well at least to me). it came to the point where "heck i just want to pass this paper. i just hope i can pass it" and proceeded to draw all kinds of random stuffs though i doubt it made any sense.
and i really hate this attitude of mine, this "i just want to pass the damn exam" attitude. i know it is not the right way to learn. i know i should always strive for excellence. and then i would give myself the same old lame excuse of having no time and whatnot. and then start having regrets, "i should have done this", "i shouldn't have done that" blah blah. yes it is annoying and i hate myself for it. i have to change. i need to change. i need to get rid of this habit of procrastination and fully focus when it comes to studies. i am easily distracted especially when my Mac is turned on in front of me on my desk (like right now now now, ugh!). after all it is my own education and how much effort i put in is entirely up to me.
then again, what has happened has already happened. time to look forward, to move on. Portfolio due on Thursday, Climate paper on Friday and Year 1 in NUS ends.
got. to. focus.

yes so here i am blogging, after several years of being inactive, on the eve of my first exam paper of Year 1 Semester 2 in NUS. yep so exams start tomorrow but i honestly do not feel the pressure and stress. well it is not that i don't care about studies it is just that, i don't have this urgency in me. something's wrong. i want to do well of course. okay maybe it seems that the exams don't have such a huge weightage or that it just pales in comparison in the intensity of preparing for a design critique session.okay anyway i got to stop procrastinating and get back to studying. need to motivate myself.
oh, and brush up on my English and fitness. (thank goodness the exams this semester are not heavy on writing.)

funny how the previous post could be applied to different people right now. and i hate this, these fucking changes,
i'm up early on a saturday morning, having breakfast with mummy as i'm typing this. it kinda feels great to be up this early. like it is nice to enjoy the beautiful scenery and breathe in the fresh morning air. taking it all in and leaving all worries behind. the day has just begun and there's so much to look forward to.
6 more months to ord. can't wait! and for those who ord earlier than me, stop it ah don't make fun of me hahah my time will come!
and i can finally use blogger on this ipad. but the site is unresponsive wtf?!? like i got to tap several times on a link before it responds. like dumb sia. and typigng on here feels a bit weird cause i'm so very used to bb's qwerty. whenever i wanna type , . ! ? My left hand will automatically look for an 'alt' button o the left side. the same goes when i'm typing on the computer! OKAY I LOVE MY BB VERY MUCH K YOU GOT A PROBLEM?!!
chill chill.
take a step back and enjoy the wonders of this beautiful mess. life is too short to hold grudges and hate.
life's good thus far. or at least that is how i want to see it to be.

why is this world such a scary place? Help mummy, i'm afraid.i have always wondered what the world would be like if Adam and Eve did not eat that fruit back in the Garden of Eden. how different would the world be as we live in harmony with God, man and the environment? what would we be like, pure and without sin? maybe we would even be perfect versions of ourselves. there would be no hatred, jealousy, guilt, shame, evil and greed. instead, there would be love, joy, peace, harmony and we would live to the fullest. well, just a thought.
anyway i've been following the General Elections quite a bit and it has been really interesting with all the opposition parties standing up against the PAP. Also with all the flaming and accusations and rumours circulating on the internet, it has indeed kept me quite engrossed. A pity i can't vote in this coming GE, gotta wait for another 5 years! (or maybe less, hmm)
approximately 49 weeks to the end of NS. to be honest, the first year passed pretty damn quick and nevertheless i have learned much. i have met people i never thought i would meet, from different backgrounds and education. it is an amazing world out there, yet scary too. it is scary how people behave and what their character and personality are. it is like, some people are just fake and they might backstab once the opportunity presents itself. sigh, i really miss the simple and straightforward school life. mundane yes maybe, but it was much simpler and getting good grades and forming friendships was all that mattered.
deadmau5 this coming friday!! OHHH YEEAAAHHHH. GONNA BE AWESOMELY FANTASTICO (;
i can live without you but without you i'll be miserable at best.
