SWITCH was awesome!! =)

it's an event put together by my church. live band, good music, yummy food and greAt company. what more can u ask for. love it! =) hmm.. pity the pictures are with elaine-my church friend. i'll post them up when i got hold of them.

time really flies..lectures for the semester just ended this week. and sTUdy week is here!! need ta get down to mugging and doing the assignments. i suspect i'm having a writer's block.. :( couldn't get the flow of writing and finding the right words.. i accounted it to a lack of stress-relievers. haha now that i've had my share of rest and fun. it's back to the books~

hmm heard some jaw-dropping news from someone yesterday.. first thing that came to my mind was.. how could he/she??? the first rule of thumb for relationships (for me) at least, is to be faithful. but that person broke this rule x 1001, in terms of severity scale. unbelievable. and yet, there's nothing much outsiders can do anything about it. hopefully, the "1" has come to his senses..

counting down to the number of days home - 56. can't wait.. *scratch chin. thinking of planning a "s'pore hawker crawl" with mominghui gals. (yy n jing.. on? :D)

anyway, thank God for the events that happened this weekend. the upcoming month would be gruelling, especially with my take-home exams coming up in 2 weeks' time. but i'm kinda looking forward to the adrenaline rush of datelines and exams. especially when the topics interest me. so i hope that the exam topics are interesting!

here's a chapter from ecclesiates 12. it is my favorite chapter of the book. on first read it may seem nothing more like a flowery play of words.. but on deeper reading, it reveals the meaningless quality of our material pursuits, and what truly matters at the strings of our heart, on the day which all of us will come to experience and take the last breath of life.


12: 1Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

12: 2While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:

12:3In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,

12:4And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;

12:5Also [when] they shall be afraid of [that which is] high, and fears [shall be] in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:

12:6Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.

12:7Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

12:8Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all [is] vanity.
12: 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man.

12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil.
