lol, the good ol' year 9 days when we really had nothing better to do besides ornamenting our diaries. it was a work of art, i say.

the list i drew up for mike was almost identical, i'd say XD

yes, we were really bored back then.

16 days to singapore.
12 days to piano exam.
3 days to the wedding.
2 days to the weekend.
45 days to 2007.
44 days to nye.
39 days to christmas.

everything's so fast.

"better is open rebuke than hidden love."
Proverbs 27:5

i came across that verse ytd and somehow i got stuck with it. it just impacted me like a meteorite crashing into earth. and you really start talking more crap than usual after a 2 hour nap that wasnt meant to be that's left you with an unusual head.

but it makes me think about all the people to whom i love but never show it. and the verse really highlights how useless it is to harbour hidden love towards anyone. and it makes me realize that maybe i've gotta be a lot more loving towards everyone around me and stop burying my love 10 feet under.

1.5h of piano practise due to start in 1 min. 3 weeks and a day. i am petrified.

isnt it ironic how things often happen opposite to what you want?

for example, when you hope that the product you buy isnt quite as good as it was advertised, it lives up to its standard. when you are so hopeful that the product you buy will be great, it turns out otherwise.

i got mascara-ed today. with good quality waterproof mascara. makes it a pain to get it off without first blinding yourself.

i got through school! all by God's mercy and grace, praise Him.

in 4 weeks time i'll be in singapore. 28 more days. but before that, 2 more weeks of hellish school, then 2 weeks of bumming, then piano exam, and in the meanwhile, 2 dinner dances plus a wedding. eventful eh?

i want my sunset, sunrise and stars. i wanna lie in an open field and gaze at the clear blue sky.

and now its time to try to use my brain and think of what to get the buddies in singapore. i really dislike shopping for presents. esp when your mum's next to you intimidating you and reminding you every possible moment that its her money you're spending.

Jesus, name above every name
