"Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
HEBREWS 12:1-2 (NKJV)
More mornings than not I drag myself out of bed and onto the street....I run because I don't like cardiologists.
Since heart disease runs in our family, I run in our neighborhood. As the sun is rising, I am running. And as I am running, my body is groaning. It doesn't want to cooperate. My knee hurts. My hip is stiff. My ankles complain...
Things hurt. And as things hurt, I've learned that I have three options. Go home. (Denalyn would laugh at me.) Meditate on my hurts until I start imagining I'm having chest pains. (Pleasant thought.) Or I can keep running and watch the sun come up....If I watch God's world go from dark to golden, guess what? The same happens to my attitude. The pain passes and the joints loosen....Everything improves as I fix my eyes on the sun.
Wasn't that the counsel of the Hebrew epistle--"looking unto Jesus"? "

天空那么大, 唯有岁月不留白
我悄悄地来,正如我悄悄的离开
不带走一片云彩

“ 每一天在你的怀里等待,每一夜我感觉你的存在” , 耳熟的旋律把我从模糊非清醒的梦中敲醒。我半睁开眼,望着天花板。我想今天一定会是一个非常有意义的一天!(今天是星期一)。
星期一。对我正在教补习的学生来说,这又是一个漫长的一天。6点起床上学。7点多钟准时上课。今天我让他写了篇文章,题目列为:“不如意的事情十之八九,这是每个人都亲身体验过的,我也不例外”。14岁的他从文章中告诉了我他是如何狼狈地过了一个非常不愉快地一天;如何快速奔驰到巴士车站,然后目睹公车从自己面前开过、然后天不作美,还下了一阵倾盆大雨,把他变成鸡类的一种 --- 落汤鸡。可能你会笑他,怎么会友那么倒霉的事儿?很奇怪,虽然他过了非常不顺利的一天,但他面对事情的态度使身为家教的我因此而反思。
他写着:“只要跟自己讲下一天就会没事的”。先别纠正他的语法问题,他其实想表达的是,明天会更好。
我不能否认,随着成长的岁月增加,人也渐渐学会并且还更懂得如何去体会与面对某种问题。很可笑的是,很多时候我们常把“忧”挂在嘴上,而这样的“忧”又能持续多久?有位朋友曾经告诉我,无论三七二十一,地球还是会转动。就算生命中缺少了什么,你始终还会发现你还活着,你的心还跳动着。生命的真谛之一不是懂得如何吃喝玩乐,则是苦中作乐。
只要你活着,你就有足够的理由为自己找到属于你心中渴慕的那条路。
而那,就在一个选择之间。选择不能环保更不能再度循环;你只能有那么一次的机会做出决定。你也必须为自己的选择负上101%的责任。
那是多么重要的一个选择…别做了选择而来不及后悔。

im glad that each year's birthday, there seems to be more and more people who would come and wish me. in a way, i felt truly blessed and blissed ;)
thanks so much for the wishes, love, smses, friendster testimonials, time to accompany me and cute little presents that i gurantee you would stay by my side even when you cant remember you gave me something before! haha, i simply have this tendency to keep things for a long time, i guess i got this attribute from hm... my dad! haha.
( there was once i found a card invitation to "SilverStar awards 2003" and i think fen made that card... haha it was meant to be thanksgiving during Xiaorong's time. okay, i still have that card with me till this day. right, i felt like a garang guni lah! )
back to where i was. I had an very awesome 19th birthday. ( on the whole )
it was schoolday.
we had subway( fang, chinlam, sooshan)
met jianhui to recieve my 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle present! ( okay, really admired his patience in doing. i myself would not have sat down and do jigsaw.. hahaha )
met a fren who gave me a lift to aunty rona's. then i did my nails. ( in the end they didnt lasted that long)
rushed home to change and freshen up. ( i can finally fit into that dress!)
off to meet my beloved members at city hall for fireworks
fireworks display. ( haha romantic experience! but not very practical. only lasted for 30mins? =x ok lah, its free!! )
they bought a Delifrance STRAWBERRY fruit pie with a candle on it and presented it and sang Happy Birthday to me right after the last fireworks display. haha its a very sweet surprise!
then we were soooo hungry. we went to eat at the food street next to esplanade.
so, we took a bus and went to catch Secret at 11.55pm. ( can i confess this is my first midnight show! ) it such a great movie!!

你知道就算大雨让这座城市颠倒
我会给你怀抱
受不了看见你背影来到
写下我度秒如年难捱的离骚
就算整个世界被寂寞绑票
我也不会奔跑
逃不了最后谁也都苍老
写下我时间和琴声交错的城堡

take these wings and learn to fly
to the highest mountain in the sky
take these eyes
and learn to see
all the things so dear to me
take this song and learn to sing
fill your voices with all the joys of spring
take this heart and set it free
let it fly
let it fly
let it fly
beyond the sea.
mel, im so gonna miss you.
Pretty Kuku tan kiukiu.

= in Emmanuel's hands =
Falling.
Find me in Your holiness
Lead me in Your righteousness
How I love You
Beautiful Saviour
When I'm weak You make me strong
Bearing my cross I carry on
How I need You
Heavenly Father
Search my heart O Lord
You know my every thought
An open book to You
I placed my all in Your hands
Falling at Your feet
As the whole world fades away
Falling at Your feet
Let my life be wholly Thine
My life be wholly Thing, Jesus
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Abba Father never let me go
-----
In Your hands.
I'm so secure
You're here with me
You stay the same
Your love remains
Here in my heart
So close I believe
You're holding me now
In Your hands I belong
You never let me go
You gave Your life
In Your endless love
You set me free
And show the way
Now I am found
All along, You were beside me
Even when I couldn't tell
Through the years
You show me more of You
More of You

I wonder why time has to pass so quickly when holidays are always at the very last week. HAHA, anyway i love to embrace the truth and the truth is, i am starting school on AUG 6!
I remember those early primary school days where Bata would have their school shoes ad going like this : Back to School @ Bata. I remembered owning a pair of Bm2000 school shoes, yeah those with the valcro on, then my very own shoe laced shoe comes along in secondary school. I also remembered wearing pumps through upper primary days and hang around the school football field catching tadpoles with the rest of the guys. to think of it now.. YIkes. I seriously used to be very garang. Now i am still garang la of course! haha!
As students we used to think that at the start of a new term or semester we ought to bring something new to school and that would surely make us feel proud of our new flashy items. I realise as i grow older and attend more schools, or even have an earning power myself, new items doesnt seem to fantasize me anymore. be it or not, you still got to go to school, no particular excuse.
In about a day's time I would probably be taking my long so super not anticipated nafa test. after being a truly " du shu ren" , i really " du shu " lor, its been ages since i last exercise. i bet, my stamina will be like so rusty on the actual day. regardless of that fact, i just know that ihave to give it a try. and not running away from it. else, i wouldnt know how i would turn out to "perform".
time passes so quickly!!!
i too feel that my parents are getting older as time goes by too.
today is Grandma's death anniversary.I'll never forget the goodness and the close relationship i had with my grandma for the 11years she was with me.
i guess everyone that is placed in our lives are special. and no one can replace one or another in your heart. in our hearts we simply have places for different people. its just that whether they occupy a lage portion or a small one.
