How deceitful is the heart of men? Who can understand it? The emotions of men is like the whether. Who can tell the rain of tomorrow?

Studying at changi airport now. So this is a fresh, first hand account from a tired soul.

Oh well, 3h seem to be the maximum I can last & i’m still quite slow. Oh well I should stop whinning and start studying

 

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV)

 16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Hey God. Its really tiring, discouraging and really difficult. Yet Lord, I believe that You are God and I believe Your Word. I believe that You are more than enough for me. I want to continue to serve You to the best that I know how in the face of all these. I need to grow and I want to grow. So Lord, please help me to grow in FAITH to rely and believe in your power. That this ALL-SURPASSING power would be from You God.  May I simply be an instrument and may your name be glorified. This is my desire.

OMG… didn’t complete my studies.. at least i did the rest..

Behind every of that number, is a life.

If only, in the world war 1, the commanders know this fact, much lives would be saved. Sensless sacrifice in fights, 10,000 over to be exact, would not have happened. In the last 6h of world war 1, after Germany has signed the armistice for the war to end at 11am, there was the question of if they should continue fighting or to have pace. Yet, commanders ordered the people to fight to the last second, even sending out a troop of african americans at the front line. Why? Just for the sake of glory.

Lives were lost. Those 10,000 over people are not just a statistic. People are not just a statistic.

oopes!

Fighting a losing battle

August 15, 2008

Its hard to win especially when the wind in blowing against you. Even at times when you tried. I guess its human tendency to be happy seeing how people get back from a lost or winning against all odds. Slaying a giant, scoring 3 goals in the last 10mins, or.. well.. getting a 250% increment from promos?

I guess its true that great achievements are those that were once deemed impossible. Like how men got onto the moon or how Peter walked on water. Then i realize that those that don’t even try would not accomplish any great thing.

Well since the waves are crashing down, I guess the only way is up. To soar above it. Oh well, if I don’t give my best now, when would I have another chance? Heaven? Haha. At least, I can answer to myself. But, its really tough to fight a losing battle.

just a random urge to post this picture..

Oh.. i so wana kill myself.. slept during GP paper 2. And to think i was happily writing my paper 1, feeling that it was quite manageable. Then again, paper 2 was a little hard, always felt difficult for me. How to get my B like that.. Tmr having maths paper 1.. I haven’t been doing maths. But lets be a little positive.. Was only intending to do well for history.. Then again, it kinda sucks to know that u are falling and you cannot do much about it.

Shewwwwww..

One of dear Alvin’s favourite phrase. Performance is one thing, Consistency is another.

I always thought that aptitude is much more important than attitude. Since you cannot acuire talent, and you could always change your attitude. But well, i realised attitude is DAMN HARD to cultivate. It was so much easier when u were a kid. Damn i’m going to make my kid hardworking.
