so many things on my mind

what a week it has been!! i'm exhausted from all the work coz it's the last week of the term so the deadlines decided to all appear at the same time suddenly. like so many things clouding my mind and giving me a perpetual headache. things in year 2 sure are different!! but i don't want to complain so i shall move on...

bigger things have happened. first, the IOC. i think it was really cool that it took place right here! but i think all the action was somewhere in the city; i didn't feel affected at all here in my little west coast, so i just followed the papers closely... it was really interesting. and i was rooting for PARIS! erica and i were so disappointed. we so wanted it to win!! and it has tried THREE times already!! they should let it win!! :( our second choice was madrid. at least these two cities had the spirit!

but oh man poor london! poor poor london! the shock and sadness of it all just gripped me there and then and, call me apathetic or what, but i can't really bear to follow the news coz it's just too sad... i remember when the tsunami happened i couldn't bear to know what was happening too... and all the other sad things that happened over the years. i think singapore is really blessed. well and another thing that hit me was that last time when such tragedies took place, it would make me think, "people are suffering over there, and here i am in school having to be concerned about HOMEWORK and GRADES??" that was one of the reasons why i wasn't happy in school. but i think now i'm in a better situation, in poly and all, so i feel like my life is not so unmeaningful anymore. well something like that lah. i don't really know how to express my feelings.

though school has been tough recently, it ended on a pretty good note for me today coz i can see that my friends are making an effort to curb their use of vulgarities. thank God for that!! i'm really thankful to God, my Saviour and my Provider. My refuge and strength.

and how true!

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He listens. He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose your heart.

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
