"Love is simply more than being open to experiencing the anguish of another person's suffering. It is the willingness to live with the helpless knowing that we can do nothing to save the other from his pain."

That we are able to tolerate and accept the feelings and experiences that are revealed through constant communication with the other person's world...


Plans coming up.....

1. Remembering to do research for cyn on xmas gathering...
2. Remembering to get xmas cards soon...

a learning journey in life..

hmm it was good hanging out in town today... me learnt alot when i am back home.
1. humility
2. sincerity

Alot has happened since i have been away from home. my mum actually told me that one of the our church frd's mother actually passed away due to cancer and the son is the same age as me!
It is really depressing to hear this while putting myself in her son's shoes, cuz i used to b so ignorant about the peeps in my home church (church of Our Lady Queen of Peace) even tho i was baptised over there as a cradle catholic. As an altar server, he has been faithful to the lord by serving mass most of the times when i see him, and guess it also explains y everything happens for a reason.
praying for peace =)

Also that i have begin to realized how things has changed in my family... mom and dad getting sick, i dunno la, how to take care of them when i am away??? just pray for them to be watched over :) and then also they sacrificed so much for me. thanks mom for ur constant guidance and u showering me with the loveliest things a mom can ever give to a child (gal's stuff), hehe!!!

i m glad to be able to catch up with church aka sec sch (CHIJ Katong Convent) frds over here too... thank you!! i am treasuring everything and learning not to take anything for granted. thank you for shopping with me! thank you for accompanying when i didnt know what to do at times.. deep gratitude for everything!

but i am still at a learning point in relationships...


in the meantime, all the best for those waiting for exam results! all the best for those who are sitting for exams too =).


plans for this week...
catching up with cyn, jc, chee chun from poly...
helping mum with xmas shopping and grocery shopping
catching up with uni mates next too...

perpetually going broke after renewing my visa and going for medical checkup!!...

(links to be added into the site soon)

peace within...

i do feel peace inside.... at last =)

somehow i would like to thank my mum and dad for bringing me back to who i am.. nothing does feel like home certainly..alot of misunderstandings, certainly alot of things which has been said that was hurtful..

came back on nov 17 sat. spent the time with mum and dad.. they taught me alot...

mum and dad has taught me about constant communication in the family to keep the family relationship goingggg, thank you for opening up paaa again to be the person i am..
cuz me have really been trying very hard in my studies.. yeap me has certainly neglected alot on my health and my friends just so that i will not be able to disappoint them. cuz of how much they are paying for my education.

yeapp i have certainly neglected alot of my friends indeed... sorry sorry!! yes you guys are important to me n i always love to be around you all! yes and i may not be as smart as u think i am, but hard work is all that pays it off. sometimes it really hurts to hear things about me that is not true in college, guess i was really just hanging on to what i truly believe in (and that is faith!)


he has also taught me about moral values. thanks dad!

praise 'him" for answering my prayers in the visa application.. =) anyway, last week was spent on settling it and also family matters...

finally today me went to see my dearest grandmother. remember me used to visit her and depend on her for as my social support. she told me stories about how she and grandpa used to be together and taking care of my dad and his siblings. certainly that lady of great honor, respect and love. a role model which i will never forget..

when i was there to visit her, uncle told me to look out for her. i said "grandma, did u remember to wear ur net like u used to? " she looked at me not knowing what i was talking about. that reaction made me realized okie from now on grandma, i am going to ur place to visit u as often as i can! hope to spend time with her (cuz she really needs people around her) =)

prayed with dear grandma for awhile and slowly tears started falling cuz what my dad said was true...

so many people are just damn BUSY with their stupid lives, i really dunno with what laaah, and they dont even bother or have the time for almost anything?

he taught me to spend the time with people as often and never to let ppl down. thanks paaa....

talked to my uncle, he wanted to accompany me to visit aunt in the next block. this has certainly taught me to how being open in communication can help so much! yah ok, i m just dumb huh...


talked to my aunt and we exchanged a few conversations... it was good indeed.
thank you for opening me up and teaching me the value of relationships!! =)

next me went to catch up with my dearest frd, haha glad to see her, we talked alot, in the bus, in the busstop, walking... gees i just couldnt stop being the chatty mee already!!!

a prayer of thanksgiving...

"Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on ur own understanding"

My plans for this weeek....
1. studying...
2. work
3.catching up with dearest grandma, mum and dad
4. poly friends, cant wait to watch enchanted soon... =)

just went to catch movies with dear uni friends for the first time, Elizabeth... it was a really sad story tho..

but fun cuz didnt quite see it in a long time..
anyway, it has taught me something... that somethings when divinely appointed is given power and authority and the abilities to b able to handle a role. it has also taught me to be more humble and nv to take things more than what we can accomplish. Although we might want and desire to be in a certain role or aim to be a certain person, it is good to never ask for more..

my wish list.....
1. to: get a temp job when i go back home.
2. spending time with my dear friends and family....
3. living in simplicity...

Spritual verses for enlightenment

1 Thessaloanians 5:1- 24

All of you are people who belong to the light, who belong to the day and should not belong to the night or darkness. We should not be sleeping like the others or to the darkness. It is at night that when people sleep and at night when people are drunk. But we belong to the day, and we should be sober. Wear faith and love at breastplate and our hope of salvation as a helmet.

Warn the idle, encourage the timid and help the weak, be patient with everyone. Make it the aim to do good to one another and to all people. Be joyful and thankful in all circumstances. God wants us to be in union with christ.


Put all things to the test and keep what is good and avoid every kind of evil. May the god who gives us peace keep us holy in sprit, soul and body. free from every fault. He who calls u will do it because he is faithful.

This song is pretty meaningful and would like to share with you guys...=)

Someone's watching over me by Hillary Duff....

VERSE 1

I found myself today,
Oh I found myself and ran away,
But something pulled me back,
the Voice of reason I forgot I had,
All I know is your not here to say,
What you always used to say,
But it's written in the sky tonight

CHORUS

So I won't give up,
no I won't break down,
sooner than it seems life turns around,
and I will be strong
even if it all goes wrong,
when I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe,
someone's watching over me

VERSE 2

Seen that ray of light,
and it's shining on my destiny
shining all the time
and I won't be afraid
to follow everywhere it"s taking me
all I know is yesterday is gone
and right now I belong
took this moment, to my dreams

CHORUS

So I won't give up,
no I wont' break down,
sooner than it seems life turns around,
and I will be strong
even if it all goes wrong
when I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
someone's watching over me

BRIDGE what does it mean

It doesn't matter what people say
and it doesn't matter how long it takes
believe in yourself and you'll fly, high,
and it only matters how true you are
be true to yourself and follow your heart

CHORUS
So I won't give up,
no I wont' break down,
sooner than it seems life turns around,
and I will be strong
even if it all goes wrong
when I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe...

That I won't give up,
no I wont' break down,
sooner than it seems life turns around,
and I will be strong
even if it all goes wrong
when I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe....


that someone's watching over


someone's watching over


someone's watching over me

yeah yeah oh-OH..


Someone's watching over me..
