fallen back to the old days.

Pink was all I see recently. My blog, the print ads that I am doing and.. my pinky toes when it's all frosted. I dreamt of Kristen and Hwee Chin last night. Quite silly though.

I've fallen to the back of the pair again. Back to the old days where silence kept up with me. Humph.

taxi/ taxing? comfortable/ un-comfortable?

Felt like writing more. But what to? Nothing much just that I've managed to drill myself into completing at least two print ads today. Sitting on the round chair was comfortable at first, then soon it became uncomfortable when you sink in and your back starts to ache from the hours. It reminds me of one of my Art Paper 2 work where I did an art work on my Daddy as a taxi driver.

It is quite ironic for a cab to say comfort, when the taxi drivers do not get comfortable after driving the long hours. It is taxing on them - their ass gets sore, legs get cramped and backs aches, when all they are entitled to is that small little space as they face the road ahead. Taxi drivers have to maintain that comfort level for customers too - keeping their taxis in tip top condition and dusting the mats even after a hard day's work. Taxi driving is not only physically challenging. It test their minds too. Road maps, signs, short cuts, directions, instructions, buildings... All these are requirements taxi drivers face and have to be knowledgable about as well. And finally, it boils down to the social aspect. Meeting different kind of people daily, having to be able to communicate with strangers needs a lot of courage. Getting to places according to the level of urgency and their needs would be top most priority. Therefore, "taxi driving seemed easy money "- think again.

food for a thought.

The thoughts of you can't fade away... When you start to think and dream of people you know and have not been talking to them, that doesn't mean they are not part of your life. Thinking and dreaming of them, while I was on the road again. Scanning among the sea of people, sometimes I don't see them and hunting for those familiar faces, I widen my view. This week I've been thinking about 'broken relationships', how it can tarnish my life. It's like a sin.

A story of a girl (I'll call her Chocolate) in a classroom having her usual lessons. One day, a new student joined the class. (Let's call her Lollipop). Chocolate approached Lollipop to get to know her better, however, Lollipop's eyes did not seem to shift to her direction. Ignorace was all that mattered.

Day after day, Chocolate tried to interact with Lollipop, tried to share with her chocolates, lesson notes, involve her in movies, but chocolate seemed to be of no existance before Lollipop. This continued for the remaining 3 years in school. No matter how much Chocolate was expecting Lollipop to open her door to her, it was always shut. Never opened.

On the 3rd year, Chocolate got a new gadget, SUPER MEGA SELF ADJUSTING CAMERA for their photography lesson. It was the latest! The newest! Something that would assured a distinction for their End of Year project. And... at the corner of Chocolate's eyes, were knees crawling up to her, asking "May I borrow your SUPER MEGA SELF ADJUSTING CAMERA for a week?"

Would you lend Lollipop your SUPER MEGA SELF ADJUSTING CAMERA after her 3 YEARS of her treating you like an invisible person?


This story is like the broken relationship we have with God. Many years, God is knocking at the door and asking if He could carry our burden for us, help us in any way. But we think we can handle it all. We thought everything is going well and we shut the door preventing God from entering. And when we are at our wits end, and when we finally need help, we go crawling to God and asking for providence and help. Praying for God to provide a way out for us. Will God help us then? This broken relationship with God is sin.



Would it be easier to ask Chocolate for the SUPER MEGA SELF ADJUSTING CAMERA if Lollipop had not ignored her from the beginning? Similarly, would it be easier to seek God's help from the very beginning?
What will you do?

I wanted to thank God...

I really thank God everytime I see things in my life fall into place when I choose to put my time in God's hands. One such incident was what happened today, though its something small, I really see God at work. Last night, I stopped doing my QANL at Q5, thinking that I'll just finish up the rest in class. Not like usual, I did not panick. Amazingly, the tutorial stopped at Q5. :D

Anyway, I'll be back at my work, doing print advert for RC. x)

The feeling of being cared by

I've moved on into the next book where more romance and excitement keep pouring in and gets my heart beating fast. Twilight Saga: New Moon is thicker and it's a surprise I actually borrowed the book to read. Maybe it's because I've watched the movie and hoped to read more, let my imagination run wild since the images of the characters of the movie are kinda sinked into my head. It makes it easier for me to picture them according to the novel. I think at this age, many girls are seeking for romance, love, pleasure, searching for someone to either care for or be cared by. Sometimes I kinda like the feeling too.. of being cared by. Like to have an older sister or another older brother.. How nice to have people to rely on. Pros and cons I would say...

GAIN/ LOSS

Gain M&Ms for being confident in presenting a short portion during RWPS;
Gain satisfaction over the day where we finally presented UCCD;
Gain an amount of rest on my bag in FC6;
Gain a time to become siaosiao with friends when we over excessively did projects day after day.

Gah.. Tired I was, not having enough sleep. I woke up as if deprived of sufficient rest. The fact was I did not. Zombied my way to school, always hoping to bump into this group of friends that I missed playing basketball with. And because of all those datelines, it had me setting my priorities straight - right.

Ngengenge...

I'm left with about an hour to sleep before a new day officially starts. Preparing UCCD ppt was somewhat enjoyable when done with God's help. It was peaceful... I'm not prepared for the presentation, but prepared to show my Powerpoint. :D

ngengenge... Hwee Chin said that I like to make those whining noises. It's when Chelsea goes crazy and starts to make funny noises to make my whining known. HA. HA!

This period of time I'm crazy over Twilight Saga. How I hoped they'll come out a series of it like Smallveille. Can't wait to read the rest of the books. Sweet).(

Mummy's birthday passed really quickly. She spend it dining out with Daddy at Jake's Place. And sweetie Mummy treated her darling girls to a huge scumpcious chicken, so tender and appetizing though we could only finish half. x)

rest sleep

I was back on my feet today after resting yesterday. I had a day of MC and realised how much I have missed from two tutorials. But I was glad God gave me rest.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." Philipians 2:13

My stressful day of projects filling up my mind was comforted by these very verses.
