being bored at work today (surprise surprise), i decided to clear my emails and categorise the things i wanna keep. must have re-read a hundred emails. haha. some really made me smile while others reminded me of God's awesomeness. one of the emails i received is copied out below:
One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the roads are wet and slick. Suddenly, my daughter, Aspen, spoke up from her relaxed position in her seat.
"Dad, I'm thinking of something." This announcement usually meant she had been pondering some fact for a while, and was now ready to expound all that her six-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear. "What are you thinking?" I asked. "The rain!" she began, "is like sin, and the windshieldwipers are like God wiping our sins away."
After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond. "That's really good, Aspen." Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little girl takethis revelation? So I asked... "Do you notice how the rain keeps on coming? What does that tell you?"
Aspen didn't hesitate one moment with her answer: "We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us." I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.
i love recieving and reading funny or inspirational emails though i don't really forward them. haha. i hate those chain letters though. about how if you don't forward some email someone will appear at your bedside tonight and kill you. or how you'll miss out on true love.
read some emails from friends who are overseas too and i really miss them. like jean, vinca and nic. i'm gonna go email them now to pass time. haha.
i think i know what my problem is. why i'm being all emo and whiney, especially over my job. i'm resisting growing up. i was telling shirley how i don't want my 3 year ntu accountancy course cos i don't wanna go out into the working world so soon which just screams ADULT and BORING and NO MORE FUN. i just don't wanna have to be all responsible and earn my own living.
Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want him or her to, it doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
the sa boys volleyball team made it to the next round! yay i'm so proud of them! if only they did so last year as well then i could've gone down to support them. i keep asking gerry about volleyball results cos i've always wanted to watch but never did? yeah. quite sad. i miss going down to support team sajc (except cricket i'm sorry!) and losing my voice cheering for them. i wonder how they're doing this year.
i just applied for 2 jobs! 2 potentially boring jobs. haha. both admin, one at temasek poly through my dad's friend and one at singtel through shirley. i guess i'd rather be doing something than nothing at all. if i'm home i'd probably just bum around watching tv eating junk food and gaining weight so might as well have something to get out of the house for. haha. plus i don't wanna spend without the amount in my account increasing. haha.
yup stop being fussy and stop complaining.
mint is suppose to neutralise the feeling of hunger but it's not working. i can hear and feel my stomach growling.
hmm suppose to go to sentosa today with babes but colleen had to work so no tan and no free cone! today's ben and jerry's free cone day so i guess i'll miss it this year too. i'll get it next year! haha. maybe when i'm on my way home later i'll see if the queue's bearable.
saw my new cousin ilyse on saturday and she's just the smallest thing ever. can't wait till she's bigger so i can carry her. (:
waiting for the letter telling me my fate in uni is pretty painful. especially when everyone else has gotten a letter. or most people i know have gotten it already anw. i hate having to worry about it all day at work and when i get home i rush to check my table or dad's table and all i get are letters from recruit express and CPF. even though i keep telling myself God has perfect plans but sometimes it's so... worrying.
that's why i like being busy. then i don't have time to worry. or think.
sometimes when you're thinking so many thoughts in your head and you feel like bursting cos you can't tell anyone it's comforting to know God's listening.
the workbook of living prayer says let us love one another because love is from God. how cool is that. when we love one another we're exhibiting God's love for us.
sometimes i feel really bad for judging people based on what i hear from others, my own assumptions all the while having never spoken to the person before. i should really watch what i say (and think) next time, for all i know people are calling me bitch behind my back and i wouldn't like it either.
ok that was random but that was just guilt kicking in.
20 more minutes to lunchtime. this is the first time lunchtime seems so far away. haha. why am i so hungry today.
if im dreaming
don't wanna let, hurt my feelings
but that's the path, i believe in
and i know that, time will heal it
all i want is a proper outing.
Yeah, I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here and it makes no sense at all
They taped over your mouth,
scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies
They taped over your mouth,
scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies
Crush, crush, crush
Crush, crush
(1, 2, 3, 4)
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two I was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than' this
If you want to play it like a game
Come on, come on let's play
'Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending than have to forget you for one whole minute
They taped over your mouth,
scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies

I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than' this now
Rock and roll baby, don't you know that we're all alone now
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll honey, don't you know, baby that we're all alone now
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll hey, don't you know, baby that we're all alone now
Give me something to sing about
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two I was just counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than' no
