dual climate...

About the weather in a tropical climate like Singapore.

Came across these comics from my lecturer while re-reading my lecture notes for the second time. Though it wasn't that funny the first time i saw it i sort of giggled the second time. Laughter admist the stress...Perhaps they were a source of relief underneath the piles of notes above me.

She's always a woman to me...

I think this song is really cute...

She can kill with a smile

She can wound with her eyes

She can ruin your faith

with her casual lies

And she only reveals

what she wants you to see

She hides like a child

But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to live

She can take you or leave you

She can ask for the truth

But she'll never believe you

And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free

She steals like a thief

But she's always a woman to me

Oh, she takes care of herself

She can wait if she wants

She's ahead of her time

Oh, and she never gives out

And she never gives in

She just changes her mind

She will promise you more

Than the Garden of Eden

Then she'll carelessly cut you

And laugh while you're bleedin'

But she'll bring out the

And the worst you can be

Blame it all on yourself

Cause she's always a woman to me

She is frequently kind

And she's suddenly cruel

She can do as she pleases

She's nobody's fool

But she can't be convicted

She's earned her degree

And the most she will do

Is throw shadows at you

But she's always a woman to me

Xiao Xing's Birthday!

Happened last week...But still not to late!
We happily went to vivo city to celebrate after studio.

Nothing extravagant..it's my first time munching a Carl's junior burger. Country bumpkin right...but still it's nice. Too much fries though. Couldn't finish. HY gobbled it all up for me! hahaha..Not everyone had that for dinner.

That's no victory sign! Bad Ivan!

Is this picture sadisitic or wad?

The traditional evil birthday picture with 'THE KNIFE IN HAND'

They we so much like kids! really cute and fun to watch all of them trying to throw Bhotish into the wadding pool.

Really a nice place to people to relax. Kind of romantic at some places too...

Smile :)

more pictures..

Playing in the pool

Just having fun..
A nice setting to end the day..

Beauty

.

There is beauty everywhere

See the faces of beautiful people on magazine covers.

They are only part of the beauty that you see in this world

.

Beauty is not visual alone

It can be heard

Hear the music dance into your ears

Think of how music can described as beautiful?

.

Beauty invigorates the sense of touch

Feel the textures of the leaves and trees

Each has a unique 'thumbprint' in itself

.

Last of all...

Beauty is holistic

It is found in the face of God and we are made in His image

It is comforting to know that

We possess everything that's beautiful within ourselves

.

Yellow Fellow Party!

Let the sky tell you the time...

And let the Smiles show you the fun!

Happy 20th Birthday Sarah!

Problem-solving

Problems...hai..

They are always there. Will always be there. And never leaves you.

.

do you ever reach a point in life

you look back realising this crossroad you faced

will be just another period in life that took you

so hard to overcome just like the ones before?

This struggle you took pains to overcome was actually not as problematic as the seemed

Things when seen from a third-party POV,

just becomes so easy to solve.

'SNAP'!

The answers come out just like that.

When our time comes for the very similar trial,

Ours is just a BIGGER mountain, that needs a BIGGER solution,

that takes MORE effort than everyone else's.

I guess it's human nature to have double-standards.

I guess perhaps through this hypocrisy,

we are able to lean on each other for support.

Put it in a nicer way, having double-standards and associating it as bad is just overrated.

Perhaps we do that to give each other hope and optimism.

I've learnt something not only from the movie (Click) I watched today,
but also from what Mj taught me before again and again.

But i guess the main thing is not about problem-solving.

It's about accepting one another's flaws and putting aside grudges.

It's about chucking away egos and allowing other to forget their undesirable pasts.

To give them space to grow and mature through their unsightly flaws.

To reach an accomodating state and allow everyone to start afresh.

The main thing is not about problem-solving.

And everyone struggles with that.

heh...ESPECIALLY me.

I will be here

I Will Be Here(Steven Curtis Chapman)

.

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
and the sun does not appear
I will be here
If in the dark, we lose sight of love
Hold my hand, and have no fear
'Cause I will be here

.
I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
I will be here

.
Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here
Just as sure as seasons were made for change
Our lifetimes were made for these years
So I will be here

.
I will be here
And you can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you

.
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here
I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the One who gave you to me
Tomorrow morning, if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here
Oh, I will be here.

Your presence is much needed

i realise that i have been editing and adding happy stuff in my life into the blog that i totally ignore those horrible and irritating struggles i come across. As real as any human being, I have my difficulties, problems with self-esteem, confidence, religion, BGR and what have you...

.

.

.

Like I've said before. Nothing you desire most comes easy

.

.

.

i feel stagnant...

Worse...

I feel I've been ignoring Jesus these few days.

Nonchalantly having a sluggish time of my life.

.

.

.

I need a revivial. I need disciplince. I need patience. I need care. I need Love. I need You God.
