People just need to relax. Not to the stage when everything is left on the shelf and life becomes a struggle to finish work; but just enough so that things are completed and yet stress is reduced to a minimum.

One must see it this way.

There are so many hours to do work. And yet the work isn't that much. It's still so manageable. Just do your share, go home, and be happy. we can all be friends. what's with all the bickering and the blaming of each other?

Mistakes will be made, for we are human. we are not God. and the right attitude to take with regards to them is to relax and enjoy the mistakes and ensure they aren't repeated.

because. it's scary to be too good. i wonder how human you really are. we should strive for efficiency but please don't take away our human emotions or love for each other.

and if you read these blogs, i don't think anyone will know what it is all about.

but neither do i.

i'm rambling, but that's good, because things are more honest.

like Sarah said on her blog, hillsongs is really good, and yeah i also remember what darlene said about 'it's not a pretty melody, it's my heart, and my life'. the problem about pretty melodies is that it detracts you from God, because you're so focussed on the melody you forget about who the melody is for. so more important is to focus on God, and if the melody wants to come then let it come.
and i really liked the 'walk humbly, be kind and compassionate' part, too...

the commentary on Ronald Reagan in Time Magazine was stirring in one phrase, that which mentioned his belief that God has a plan for him and all he wants to do is to follow that plan. such faith is so wonderful and such an inspiration. i mean, things happen for a reason. and perhaps the reason why things don't happen the ideal way is because, well, i wasn't made for it. and if i'm not made for it and God doesn't want it then who am I to say I want it?

this is so confusing, isn't it.

you don't get it. but sometimes you can't have it. because if you have it then you won't actually enjoy it, because it doesn't fit your life.

okay so it really isn't it.

hmms.

okay well, so it takes a j1 to realise this: (taken from my junior junior class's blog)

"the people who get the most down are so down probably because their sense of self-worth is measured by evidence of their achievements, i.e. medals and grades and thingys you win etc. or how you look on paper. and so now they can't be at the top they feel like failures. but this is fundamentally wrong cos self-worth should be based on uh. other things i guess. as in. what other things would vary from person to person but i don't exactly think the most important thing in anyone's life should be achievement in terms of winning things. cos thats basically a selfish way to live and even though okay, man is basically selfish we can try not to be can't we? and give life some slightly nobler purpose? and if you try to think this way after some time things may start looking up. like you start living for friends or for cca or for lessons etc. just appreciating these things in themselves. and you set goals and try hard for those goals but you stop trying to win everything. and life gets peachier and rosier =]"

what pearls of wisdom. Such people, who can see beyond their achievements and the immediate and have confidence in themselves because of who they ARE and not what they DO, are hard to come by. especially in rj. if only people'd learnt earlier and not waste their lives fighting for useless futile things, maybe we'd all learn to love a little more.

sounds like trite to you, but then, life is a wonderful journey and the negative things that come my way don't deserve to spoil my fun. i am, optimistically buoyant about my future, and that's how it's meant to be. thank you!

urm. yups. i don't know. should i be a lawyer?? i must pray. hmms. i odn't think so, though. how do u be a Christian and be a lawyer at the same time? as purvis says, are they 'parascites on crime?' so how? so how? hmms. must pray.

Just went for FOP(festival of praise) yesterday; it was a wonderful praise session just worshiping God with so many other Christians and it was great because it was total; we worshipped from the bottom of our hearts, putting away all distractions as unimportant in the splendour of praise and worship, and it was with all our hearts. and so i want to thank God for that chance to be there, and for the uplifting and the chance to dedicate my life wholly to you again. thank you.

i wrote quite alot of christian songs after that. it's great to write christian music, very uplifting and well i don't know, it's like, just some things i want to say ,right.


hmms. i miss my friends too.
