Haven't been blogging for very long, and my week's been filled with mugging. tuesday, mugged in school. wednesday went to play bball and later went to WS's house and then played pool later on at mambo before studying some econs. thursday was filled with more econs and later on some squash. today was completing econs and doing some math. so its not very fun life huh.

okay.
nvm
waht i wanted to say was, dreamz fm's song 'should i stay' is really brilliant, esp. for a local song. it has melody. it's sing-able, and the vocals and instrumentation all suit it pretty well. this is finally good local music. sigh. been a-waiting for a long time

I have to be able to feel, language, the subtle connotations of every choice word, savouring it like a choice morsel, and understanding why the author portrays the story in such a way. Literature is concerned with the 'How', the techniques and the ways that an author would craft a work of art, in order to fit its themes. such is the key to unravelling the mystery of literature. sigh. math and lit just don't mix, one is so accurate and so precise and so methodical, while the other is littered with so many shades of meaning.

'he is no fool'...so true, so true. Lord help me to give my all to You, and where You lead i will follow, if You send me. the musical was great, a few weak parts but certainly some really touching moments. yeah. even while being an armchair critic, i was distinctly moved. haha. that was nice. good stuff. for what use would it be for me to gain the whole world but lose my soul?

i have to realise a few things. that God is ultimately in control of my life and nothing can stop that. there is nothing in my life that God hasn't planned for--and the daily bread message that cited the Bible just said it, that tribulation brings perserverence, and perseverence brings character. yeah how true. so i just have to realise that each little trial is part of the growing up process. there isn't any accident in my life that God has missed out, oh, suddenly, oops, that's it, you know, i made a mistake, no-no-no, nothing like that, but He's faithful, so faithful to me. thank you...like all things work out for good for those who love Him, you know, for those who are called according to His purposes.

You did not wait for me to cry out to You...and I'm forever grateful to You

Being so miserable without God just makes me wonder about all the people who don't have God in their lives. i mean, you know you might think it's fluff but really it makes a whole lot of difference, being away from Him or being with Him. no more do you feel lonely, or angry, or frustrated, but you are joyful and happy, you can talk to people, you feel at ease and at peace. it's not like your'e selling-out, but actually He complements your life, after all He made your life! i mean, think about your life. what do you want out of every passing moment? do you know where you're going? or do you really feel so lonely at times? i do, when i am so far away from Him, and that's why i feel so lonely, and how about those who don't even know where He is? go find Him, i really pray, go find Him. Please, no one has to be miserable. hell isn't just about physical suffering, it's about seperation with your Maker, with your Redeemer, with God, that is the real painful thing, really.

'i dont' want to wait, for our lives to be over'--> i'm serious. sometimes it's just too late. why wait.
