this reminds me of the pumpkin man song..
"im the pumpkin man.........I WANNA BE YOUR BEST FRIEND!"
DONT MAKE MY LIFE DIFFICULT OK! PLAY WITH ME! hahaha

im meant to b studying.
i just finished module one of human bio. HEHE 5 more to go! plus occ n health plus FOT plus the psych test.
wheee
i like to study i like to study i like to study i like to study i like to study
it is fun it is fun it is fun it is fun it is fun
it is my life it is my life it is my life
HEH that should do the trick!

got to talk to qinyi over the phone the other night =D
and we started talking about-assumptions
just because someone did not do something, we assume that the person is irresponsible
just because someone said something, we assume that the person is unreasonable
i have a tendency to assume the worst of a person, failing to notice the many other factors that might be influencing him/her to behave in a certain way or say something. only when the person explains the real reason, then i start understanding and feeling guilty.. sometimes asking "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EARLIER!?" and hence pushing the blame to the person again.

i want to be thoughtful. i want to learn to put others before myself. i want to love my enemies. i want to love my not enemies. and to do that, i need to follow Jesus. The one who rebuked the people who tried to stone the prostitute, the one who healed the blind and the lame. the one who washed his disciples' feet, the one who healed the ear of one of the soldiers who came to capture him, the one who loves the unloved, the one who forgave the people who mocked and laughed at him, the one who forgave the hands that nailed him onto the cross. the one who died so that he could give life to the sinners: the sad, the angry, the lonely, the proud, the selfish, the cruel, the deceitful, the jealous... us.

why do people have to drift apart....
='''''(

sometimes its so sad.. when i talk to a friend i used to be close to, knowing we have drifted apart, but he/she doesn't seem to care... sometimes i feel as though i've forgotten how to make friends, forgotten how strangers can become close friends, forgotten how my close friends became my close friends.. and thus being able to make new friends but knowing that we'll never become close friends.

but sometimes my stomach goes funny, and my heart feels warm and fuzzy, when i talk to those far far away but close to my heart, knowing that they still care, and making me feel that im actually not that far away. or when new friendships are made and i just know that God will work in it and make it grow and grow.

a guest speaker came to speak at our foundations of ot lecture today. she spoke of her bad experiences with occupational therapists while recovering from stroke and what we should not do.

what annoyed her was how the OTs were sympathetic when she wanted them to be empathetic and treat her like a normal smart 20 year old instead of a stroke patient. "the only difference between you and the client is bad luck". and really, that's it. aren't they just like one of us? i feel so guilty for looking at people with disabilities and feeling sorry for them. now im starting to get worried that i'll end up becoming one of those OT's that talk to the patients as if they're stupid, when really, many of them are much smarter than i am. how offended would you be if it was you in their position? from being treated normally like any other person to being felt sorry for, with people thinking that u can't do much, all overnight because of a stroke or an accident. with just the presence of a wheelchair would already bring all eyes to you when all the difference there is between the person on the wheelchair and people watching, is bad luck. i really really hope i wont offend anyone when i start working! GOD BLESS ME!!!!!!!!

today is.. the muffin day! the muffin day! the muffin day!

ongtingtong's house is on campus and it is the coolest! its really like a house! not like boarding house or college! so homely! and she shares it with 5 other people from curtin. her housemate did that thing on the wall. it's made up of A4 sized paper! how cool is that! n i think that dinosaur is that dinosaur..

this is so scary......the bakers: sara ong ting tong, christie goh yo yo and me!it was just pre-mix HEHE but it was still good kay!

egocentric.

its so painful to watch but i guess this is the nearest to trying to feel how God feels about sacrificing His Son for the world. SO PAINFUL! =(

so what now? what are we gonna do about it? let Him die for nothing? or accept Him into Your life? i cried when i watched the dad cry. i cried even more when i watched the people in the train who were 'saved', oblivious to the boy's death, continuing being selfish, angry, lonely.. unaware that they had just avoided death, unaware of the father mourning and crying his heart out over the loss of his dearest son whom he loved so so so so much, unaware of his pain and heartbreak when he had to pull that lever which would save them but kill his son.
are we going to do anything about it?

why do birds, suddenly appear

everytime you are near

just like me, they long to be..

close to you

why do stars fall down from the sky

everytime you walk by

just like me, they long to be..

close to you

on the day that you were born

the angels got together,

and decided to create a dream come true

so they sprinkled moondust in your hair,

of golden starlight in your eyes of blue

that is why all the girls in town

follow you all around

just like me, they long to be..

close to you

pretty pretty song it is x)

especially relevant when Christie complains about the birds coming when we have lunch on the grass.

"why do birds suddenly appear everytime you are near? just like me, they long to be close to you!"

ahha

why do people eat chocolate?

why are they addictive?

why do people like chocolate? why do SO MANY people like chocolate?

is it like smoking: peer influence, stress relief?

do you think chocolate is good just because society says so?

or is it just because it is really really good?

or is it because they are addictive like drugs smoking and alcohol?

so confusing!

im meant to be selling chocs for winter camp but i keep ending up buying the timeouts for myself to eat! how annoying.. =(

its meant to be my stress week.. WHY DO I KEEP APPEARING HERE TO BLOG!?!

Genesis 3:21-24

The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. And the LORD God said, " The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." So the LORD God banished them from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

even though man sinned by disobeying God and made God upset, God still provided garments of skin for them and clothed them. How loving, how merciful, how wonderful is His love =) knowing that the punishment for sin is death, God sacrificed His only Son, so that we would be saved from the consequences of our own wrongdoings. Even though He was upset, even though He was disappointed, He chose to save us. Even though He already knew we were going to make Him upset and disappointed, He still chose to create us, because He loved us.

what made God take so much care to make creation glow?

He could have made it black and white, and we'd have never known.

and what made God send Jesus to die on calvary?

it could have been this special thing, i've found inside of me

that's the love of God, its never ending

that's the love of God, always forgiving

He's always there, He never fails

all He will do, is love forever

and He loves to show it, that's the love of God.

yes, that's the love of God. God loves you =D and me! and her! and him! and them! u get my point...

how does one become selfish?
is it when one grows older, having more responsibilities, thus not having time for others?
or is it when ur all cooped up with too much time with yourself that u forget about others?
or is it both?
learn to give, learn to give.
time and again i make a mental note to myself to stop being selfish
maybe its my narcixxxxxtic (gave up spelling) nature
maybe its my ignorance
maybe i just need to listen and talk to people more

WHY AM I EVEN HERE OH MANSXZXZXZXZXZX
assignmentzzszsxxzxszxsxszx
*faints*

in the middle of the peaceful neighborhood late at night,

dark streets lighted by street lamps along the way..

somewhere down the road, a group of people sing their hearts out with the joyful strumming on the guitar...

"the lion sleeps tonight..."

i don't know why but it makes me smile listening to them while im on my lappy blogging, fingers moving awkwardly round the keyboard to keep my freshly painted nails unblemished.

its a happy day today ;) praise Him, praise Him.

rejoice in the Lord always, and again i sing rejoice!

phil 1:6

"being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." =D thanks kristi princess evil twin!

i realised i don't have to be unhappy about not knowing what my spiritual gift is. because i know we are each given a spiritual gift, all i'm doing is waiting to find out what it is! SO I SHOULD BE EXCITED! and since spiritual gifts are meant to be used to serve God, and since i havent found out what it is, i could just make sure that im serving God in any way i can i guess! x)) and yes! to be confident that God will continue the good work in me until the day of Christ Jesus!

these few days have been quite interesting.. i think i've been talking more to people and knowing more about them instead of complaining and whining and thinking i am oh-so-poor-thing, in a way they've taught me to be less self centred =D hip hurray!

thank God for being able to attend uni (and obviously this will include the dreaded assignments and tests and lectures and tutes but they kinda make up the whole uni thing so i should learn to love them. and i'll probably start to enjoy them hehe! and one fine day i'll become excited to do assignments woohoo!) was emailing audeedee n she mentioned how lucky i am to be able to study something i enjoy.. i was thinking.. OH MY I AM! i chose the course but i still complain! but hey.. im free from math and english woohoo!

thank God for no midsems!

thank God for family and friends!

thank God that I can stay with geri! i was talking to molly n bonnie and i realised how blessed i am to be able to stay with a family member, that we can prepare meals together, go out together, eat together blablabla n i wont feel as embarrassed if i fart at home HAHAHA

thank God that i take public transport to school! those people driving always have to be stressed about parking, petrol, driving, getting in time for classes... stuff that dont really bother me much! bonnie only just started taking public transport cus she had 2 parking fines in a row.. so poor thing hahaha

thank God that i'm out of the b/h. thats y i can blog =D n have a choice of what i want to eat, n not be so restricted.. like being made to sleep at 10.30pm =( now i do it voluntarily ahahah no la! but i dont have to worry about handing in leave forms, not being able to get recess, queue for lunch in the rain etc =D

thank God that i know people with cars who can drive =D if not i wouldnt have a life. or i might get mugged one fine day.

thank God for people who make Perth life so much more enjoyable than it could have been x) at least now i dont feel so lost n lonely n helpless n new n shy (I STILL FEEL SHY ACTUALLY) n sad.. and i know that there will be people to turn to for help n encouragement =D

thank God for giving me so many killer weeks. it's like His reminder to me that when i am weak, then I am strong, because that is when i acknowledge my inability to handle all these matters and really hand everything to Him!

thank God i dont need to get a job =D i thank God that my parents have a stable income, so i have a choice whether or not i want to work. and currently i am looking at those working students, going "WOW... where do u find the time!?!?" but i might probably start one after i learn to drive..

thank God i'm gonna start my driving lesson tomorrow! when i start driving, we can stop worrying about the bus times or getting lifts although i quite like them hehehehe.

thank God for my 25/30 human bio test! the unit i have been most worried about turns out to be one im doing best in i think. =) n its a pretty cool subject actually. God is really amazing the way He creates everything. its so difficult to explain! its.. INDESCRIBABLE.

RIGHT NOW! been listening to christmas songs.. I WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS ALL YEAR LONG~~~ WHY COULDNT IT BE CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY!!!!!! lalalallalalaaaaaaaaaa

i feel so hurrrrr now.
ocf today spoke about stewardship of spiritual gifts.
what is my spiritual gift?

argh i feel so hurrrrrrrrrr
think its pms. bleah.

thank God for my completed psych assignment =D
other than being good stewards of our spiritual gifts, we are also meant to be responsible in our management of resources like time, money, electricity, water etc.
how have i been managing them?
long showers.. leaving the computer on even when not needed, spending on unneccessary chocolate or iced coffee, staring into space or playing the rubiks cube while procrastinating...
i have lots of room for improvement..
what about the people He's placed in my life?
i havent been appreciative enough. i havent been making myself available enough to listen to what they need to say. i expect them to listen to my complaints and worries but what have i given them in return?
=(
HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
