Iiiiiiiiiiiiit's the weekend!!!

and half of it's gone already.

sheesh. some ppl really know how to put a damper on my mood. never lasts long tho. i'm painfully optimistic. :D

updates:

1. joined guitar club again. memories. mostly good. haha

2. got my jane eyre essay back (yes, i actually finished it). and got 15/25. whoopee. :D

3. havn't trained for napfa. so even if i pass 2.4 i'll still fail. haiz.

4. survived a week without feeling even a teeny weeny bit of morose-ness about singlehood. YEAH.

5. havn't touched my books yet. argh.

hrm. enough updates. performed for leo invest wif e guitar club today. my fingers are protesting, but settling back into string-torture regime surprisingly quickly. nice song jump festival. sadist arranger, but nice feel. spent about half an hour watching certain ppl agonize over mass dance. i feel the pain. hehe. you've got a week to go...jia you! (chinese. im speaking chinese on my blog. and THAT is dilution of the language.)

i realize that the secret to mastering a piece of music - any piece..is to memorize it. memorize the sound, the feel, the pattern, the notes. scores just complicate everything. so that when you play, you KNOW you're right, and you don't have to keep checking. it just FEELS rite.

and to oddball, zazu, the deaf one, and the one who rhymes wif itch (hee): i want ice cream toooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! haagen dazs. we have a $40 haagen dazs voucher. and you eat $1.39 swensons ice cream. what's wrong wif you ppl. :p no matter. i want ice cream. cookies and cream. wif hot fudge. and chocolate crunch. and a chocolate wafer. lol.

council dinner was nice. we ate at lemongrass @ the heeren. it's been so long since we were all together like that. missed dhana tho. and yijie. and hanwen. sigh. but it was fun. told stupid jokes. laughed loudly (waay too loudly). told fortunes (lol. i'm supposed to have a smooth love life. with one deep and true love. nice, but not very possible i suppose.) and generally had fun. without further ado, i LOVE the 27th SC. *long long hugz* im gonna miss you guys next year...it'll be so weird without you.

anywayz. gonna watch a play tomorrow wif the drama elective ppl. hope it's good. gonna spend the afternoon there. so guess i should start mugging now. hahaha cya tomorrow! life rockz. :D

I woke up today with an urge to blog

then i came downstairs and forgot why i wanted to blog in the first place.

and that, my friends, is Life. not life with a small 'l'. Life. with a big 'L'. yeah azzah i think you're right. i AM psycho. and proud of it. *grinz*

not like today was an eventful day you know. remember that jane eyre essay i talked about yesterday? im on the 2nd last paragraph. at least, i hope so. not a very productive weekend huh. been thinking a lot though. my daydreaming capacity has increased tremendously. at least i dont feel too guilty.

how do you deal with Death? you cry a little...then you accept it. like a sunset you will never see again. you'll see another sunset - the same sun, but it'll set over and over again, and it'll never be like the last one. and everytime you see a sunset, you'll remember the last one, and maybe cry a little again. but each time, you remember less of the sadness and more of the beauty. and there will be a time when the sun sets, and though you still feel sad, you're happy too. because you had the privelege of seeing the sun.

A friend died today. car crash. dont really know the details. and dont really remember much of him. he was a family friend...and i must have known him growing up, cuz he's not much older than i am. and he remembered me at the last gathering we had. Life has it's ways of reminding you of the thread that binds. and that can snap. anytime, anyone, anywhere. the thousands of lives that are entwined around each other...so that somehow everybody is connected...have seen and loved the same things, sometimes even the same people. a heightened sense of awareness. that no matter what our purposes are, no matter what we believe in, our lives will come to an end. and Death has no respect for age. or what we were gonna do tomorrow. or who we were in love with, but were too afraid to tell. or even who we were in love with, and was gonna tell. But i believe that Death does not end all. that it was conquered 2 million years ago, on a cross in Calvary. and one day we'll meet again. in perfect love. which is all anyone can ask for.

so cry your tears. tears were made to fall. but wipe them away, when you look up and realise that there's more to smile at, to laugh and to love. Life will go on, and love will lead you on. And when your turn comes, look into the eyes of your Maker, and say truly, i have lived my life. i have Lived my Life. and i am content to be with Love in You.

New week, new rules. no weekday bloggings. cya friday :p

Hands
by Jewel

If I could tell the world just one thing,
It would be that we're all ok
And not to worry because worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these
I will not be made useless
I wont be idled with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
for light does the darkness most fear

My hands are small I know
but they're not yours they are my own
but they're not yours they are my own
and I am never broken

Poverty stole your golden shoes
but it didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
but i knew it wasn't ever after

We will fight, not out of spite
For someone must stand up for what's right
cause when there's a man who has no voice
there ours shall go singing

In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters

I will get down on my knees and I will pray
I will get down on my knees and I will pray
I will get down on my knees and I will pray
My hands are small I know but they're not yours they are my own
And I am never broken
We are never broken

We are God's eyes
God's hands
God's mind
God's hands
God's heart
We are God's hands
