Thursday, September 29, 2011 @ 9:35 pm [Humbling job]
I don't like waking up when I had a bad night the previous day. It makes me just want to sleep and not wake up at all. And it makes me just wish everything was just a bad dream and that it'll blow over. It makes me not want to do anything. Nothing at all. There was a saying that says that if you can't handle the person at his worst, you can't handle the person at all. I had this saying stuck in my head today. But I'm also wondering if it's all that true. Perhaps. Afterall, how you respond when everything is all heated up and the other person is really upset tells alot. But then again, we are all humans that make mistakes and can't always keep the cool. Finally, I realised that it's a really humbling job to initiate a conversation of resolving the conflict. If you find saying sorry is humbling, this one is too. It takes alot. At least for me. To be the first to talk about it, to start the conversation, then to hold and lead it, and most importantly, to keep the cool through it all, cos you are the one that started the convo. So it's really hard and humbling...humbling... --------------------------------- Saturday, September 24, 2011 @ 1:56 am [from an opinion of a friend]
Thought this was nice and fresh, from her observation: Love is honest, it never fails, it is unconditional, it is accepting, it shows grace, it is giving, it encourages, it is patient, it sharpens and it always believes the best of a person. --------------------------------- Sunday, September 11, 2011 @ 10:32 pm [social comfort]
It's comforting to know you are going to meet friends other than your bf really soon...esp when your bf stays so far from you. Looking forward to:

Matthew 10:31
Suddenly this verse spoke to me and mean alot to me. Look at how impactful the words are: "don't be afraid" and "worth" and "more than". Wow! Such strong words! It's amazing how much we mean to God! And especially in this situation now when I'm facing tricky situations with people, my studies, my FYP and my career. There is fear. There is uncertainty. And there is doubt. And this verse refreshes me in times like this. Thank God for His Word! --------------------------------- Tuesday, September 06, 2011 @ 12:55 am [opposites]
What's the opposite of reality? Dreams? Fantasy? Illusion? How I wish I can just stay in the opposite of reality. In my perfect dream world of the presence of God, of Chris, of Christian books, of relaxation, of social networks, of music, of singing, of enjoyment... And away from the harsh reality of expectations, deadlines, finances, career, conflicts, tensions, studies, FYP... [two greatest gifts] There are 2 greatest gifts you can give to a friend: time and interest. Indeed, it's really not easy giving interest, enthusiasm and full attention to the conversation of the one who is speaking. You can give time, but sometimes, interest is hard. To pay full attention. And today, I realised that though Chris is my bf, he has no need to listen to me, but he still chose to. Each and every time. And especially at times when I am feeling sian. So I shall not take it for granted and use him as a punching bag! --------------------------------- Sunday, September 04, 2011 @ 12:15 am [the way this turns out]
I think I'm still immature. Sometimes, I really just say out my feelings, honestly and brutally, that I end up pissing someone off. And then, I'll get stuck at how to salvage the whole situation. Sometimes, I really just want to talk it out, just want to rant, cos it lets you know the struggles that I'm facing. But sometimes, I just end up making you upset, I know. But can't I just talk? Sigh. Sometimes, actually, most of the time, I'm really not as optimistic as you. It's just not me. I'm not an optimist. Unlike you. I don't like the way this turns out :( --------------------------------- Saturday, September 03, 2011 @ 11:59 pm Something I learn today: memento mori
It means, Remember you are mortal A good reminder to be reminded that I am mortal and that God is the Sovereign One. A video to laugh and think about (: --------------------------------- |
