After the tragic tale of the two butteflies, I've decided to post something a little more optimistic =)
Haha its really sweet.
Look for the part where they reform hands.
All together with me now.
Aww.

100th post! :D
Saw something interesting on the way home in my dad's car. At the junction outside my house, we stopped by the traffic light, and I noticed two butterflies flying around each other very animatedly, and they flew onto the road, oblivious to their surroundings. So I pointed out:
'Eh! Two butterflies are performing some mating dance/ritual thingy'
'Oh thats so sweet!' -my sis.
Half a second later, a taxi shot past, impaling both butterflies. Yeah, impaling.
I didn't even have time to blink.
My sis tells me that she saw only one butterfly remaining.
Didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Or both.
I guess this means...um...
Er.
It means something, anyway.

it never rains, but it pours
Polo lost. Softball lost.
It's just been a horrible year for us hasn't it. What an awful B'div tournament for all our sportsmen. Damnit.
I've been adrift,
but I now know just how awful it is to not have You.

First post in four days. Been really lazy to post haha, have had a lot of stuff on the past few days, so I really need to take a breather.
Physics tmr! I've been mugging, but for some reason I just don't feel completely prepared. Graarh. I guess I'll have to go mug some more tonight.
Been an insanely hectic start to the term, such that I've hardly had time to actually sit down and think about things. Have to make time for it, cause I find that a bout of self-reflection really does help things. Sorted out some things that have been niggling on my mind the past few days. Discipline is the word.
Guess I got the recharging I was looking for.

Mugger's high. Yeah.
No la actually I'm just feeling damn tired -_-
The book review is driving me nuts. Spent almost 3 hours on it today and guess what I'm only half done -_-
And I'm stuck. Will try to finish it by tomorrow, but I guess it's probably just a pipe dream. Heh, at the very least I've got an extension to next week.
Yay now at least I'm no longer clueless about physics.
Tmr shall be spent at home studying too -.- Actually I just want to sleep. Gahh.

16th Birthday!
90th post. Nice number.
Finally I've turned16. (I have a penchant for stating the obvious) Strangely enough it arrived with little fanfare, but that's not really important is it? Thank you everyone for your wishes! :))
Although I can't believe I spent my 16th birthday doing math. Oh the ignominy.
Today marks the end of something. I hope it signals the start of something better, brighter. I'm not worrying though; I have faith in what lies in store.
I made 3 wishes today. If everyone of them is fulfilled, I really couldn't ask for anything more. For once, these are the deepest desires of my heart. They shall remain there for now.
(Been having a really lousy week, but thanks to everyone who've cheered me up! :) )

I'm feeling very very very very tired.
Ehh and slau knock it off will you? Stop the flaming; its just mean and pointless. We all have our own opinions, but keep the inflammatory stuff of public forums like blogs can?
I'll post up some pictures of our merry little jaunt (hah.) to penang later.
I really need to get out of this rut. :S
And btw: flamers just leave my tagboard alone can? I don't mind if you flame me cause frankly I couldn't care less, but leave your personal vendettas off my tagboard. I'm just very very sick of flamers already. I may as well delete the tagboard if it continues.

"Blessed be the God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."
- 2 Cor. 1:3-4
This has perfectly encapsulated my feelings about my past month.

This post is excruciatingly difficult to type. My finger is sprained, and there's a sickening crack when I bend it sometimes, you know the type you get when you pull your fingers? The pain of the crack, coupled with the pain of the sprain (O_O that rhymes what the heck) is making typing a chore.
But there's something I have to say:
I've only gotten through these few days unscathed because of my Lord Jesus Christ :) It's only by His strength alone that I've managed to stay afloat. Amen to that!
"Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."
- Luke 6:37

"In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know."
- John 14:2-4
Even after reading Scripture for so long, the treasure trove that is the Bible continues to throw out amazing promises like these.

For the wages of sin is death.
Death may come in many forms, not just the literal one we are all familiar with. Of course, that is the most obvious and most permanent form, but the others are just as deadly.
Emotional death.
Death to love.
Death to others.
All are tragic.
But we have an awesome promise: that we are no longer bound to sin! We are free from that endless torment. That does not mean that we are free from temptation, but that temptation no longer has any hold whatsoever upon us. In short, we are free.
That means that we are free to live.
I claim that promise. And the joy that I've found is amazing.

Soar on Eagle's Wings
God works in wonderful ways. Amen to that!
I headed down to church today after school entirely expecting to just pick up the book I came for and head back home to study. What was unexpected was that I spent almost one and a half hours talking and sharing about really personal issues, about my walk with God and how I've been changing over the past few months or so. Really, it seems staggering.
I've been inspired. I've seen how powerful the Word of God is.
Thank you so much! :)
I want to continue to grow. I don't ever want to be satisfied.
Something I heard really struck me.
"The christian life is about soaring above the storms and tribulations. God wants to take us above the storm, away from the problems that we face."
I'll always keep that in mind now. O let me soar on eagle's wings!

I know what you're going through.
Teenage life is a big jumbled up mess of insecurities and secret fears. I know, cause I'm right smack in the middle of it too. It certainly isn't easy.
Scientifically speaking it's cos our hormones are causing emotional imbalances, which explains the crazy mood swings that we experience. But it's more than that too.
We're growing up. It's a really long and drawn-out process if you ask me. It would spare us alot of hurt, alot of sleepless nights if maturity could be gained overnight but sadly it can't. It's excruciatingly difficult to continue walking when sometimes life seems so pointless and trivial, where all we do is just study study study.
But our God is bigger than this. He'll bring you and me through.
Trust in Him. It took me a great deal of time, suffering and hurt to learn this simple truth.
Trust in our God. He'll lift you above the storm.

Omq I sound totally mugger-ish in the last post. Hehh.
Laid off from exercise for 3 weeks. Yesterday my shin got whacked by a certain Tan Joel (who has been suitably recompensated for his trouble) and it swelled up. To almost my knee size. I was doing my physics lab prac when I got up to get my hot water I immediately had to sit down again, cause of the swelling. Ahhh. Thankfully it's alot better today, although it still hurts abit. Was really scared at one point that my muscle was torn.
Don't you think 'OMQ' is a cool phrase?
Knvm.
(O_O!! I think I'm starting to sound like Merrill.)
O_O!!!!!!!!
K bye philo essay awaits. I positively drool in anticipation.
I imagine it's not a very pretty sight.

I'm very tired.
AHHH no my source of naruto has dried up! ):
Suddenly I've become very motivated after seeing how good everyone I know has done for the A Levels. 50% of RJ has 4As O_O
I feel decidedly inferior.
SO, I have resolved to work (A LOT) harder. Which is evidenced today by my 4+ hours of mugging! -beams-
I feel so proud (:
NO MORE SLACKING YES.
