Alright after 268 posts I'm going to let this blog gently die and fade away.

It's been fun, and some posts I think are meaningful enough to be kept.

I know I just changed the layout, but who cares haha.

If you want my new address ask me. It's not very hard to guess!

EDIT: New blog up.  I have no idea who's reading my blog now so if you want the address ask me haha

Now I wonder if I've been doing the right thing all this while! Ohhhh how complicated things can be.

Heading to school for PW in about 2 hours time, then to yelin's house. I'm going to be absolutely bushwhacked tonight.

I feel like I'm on the verge of some monumental decision.

Living like this isn't living either.

Too much on my mind now. How am I going to finish any work!?

A quick change to a new simple layout, before its off to start work.

Just came home from Shakespeare 24. After RI performed its play (which was a tragedy), the Hwachong and RJ plays (both comedies - Twelth Night and Midsummer's Night Dream which are my favourite Shakespearean comedies) stole the show completely. Was enjoyable in the end! Jotham's running commentary was entertaining though.

Words feel woefully inadequate.

Haha I really shouldn't have been doing this considering I still have the taking sides essay to do (of which I've only touched the introduction) but I was reading old blog posts and other people's old blog posts from the beginning of this year and I realize that time has really flown and suddenly we find ourselves smack in the middle of term 2 week 6; deadlines are approaching work's a neverending pile and our college commitments haven't even started yet.

Makes me really appreciate term 1. Life now is exciting for different reasons though and the class and friends have made school something to look forward to still (homeroom after lessons and lunch is full of nonsense hahaha), so while I miss what we had a few weeks back and the collection of memories that I'd like to frame up forever, life has to go on. I'm glad that things are still moving along in fresh ways.

We take stock, cherish what we have gone through, and with all that we've learnt and experienced so far in hand, the future isn't that daunting.

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray
To be only yours
I know now
You're my only hope

Renew in me a belief in the power of prayer; I've been praying without actually believing that everything I pray for will come true. Mere hope is not faith.

Would you lie with me and
just forget the world?

5 hours of sitting in an lt, writing on slips of paper and not being allowed to talk to people was quite the torture.

Haha some things are now quite interesting that they're in a new light.

And zzz I just lost my entire train of thought when a huge spider with white stripes crawled across my screen its eyes were on stalks and moving around for goodness sake, I hate spiders

I'm being very unproductive!

Is it selfish to want more? (I'm not talking about anything council related here)

These 2 years are indeed really short.

Arghhh my personality type infuriates me sometimes.

What a week this has been.

Tuesday was results, and really, to God be all the glory. Getting into council was a huge blessing and I'm really, really thankful for this opportunity. More on this later.

I was abit zoned out for the rest of the week, trying to do my PI which still isn't done, as well as the impending council camp. Thursday and friday, though both were napfa days, were enjoyable; had quite a good econs talk on thursday after school (at least the first speaker was good, the other one sounded like he was going to have a heart attack any minute) and then dinner! with classmates. Had a great time, we must have more dinners like these! Had fun bingeing on turkish ice cream on friday after frustratingly getting a bronze for napfa, and just spending time with friends.

Council camp was quite the shock after the past two days, and I have to say it has been one heck of an experience. I'm not allowed to divulge details, but suffice it to say that I think we're a rather special batch; we've got the drive and passion for great things, now we have to materalize our dreams into reality. We will stand or fall together as 28ths, as one batch. Time will tell which.

The whistle is (still) endlessly annoying. I bet some joker will still be doing it tomorrow.

Looking forward to heading back to class tomorrow haha.

Whatever the outcome tomorrow, I'm going to give thanks to the Lord anyway for He has been so, so amazing during this period, and I'm going to trust in His plan for me. Whatever the outcome.

Thank you everyone who voted for me, all of you are much appreciated (:

I stand here before You
In wide open wonder
Amazed
At the glory of You

Church today was immensely refreshing; to be able to bask in God's presence again after the longest time -- I've been missing this for far, far too long. Amazing, amazing.

Gained back a new clarity of perspective, and the new week looks like as good a time as any to put it to use.

Whatever the result of voting (or whatever happens tomorrow during voting), I'm leaving it in God's hands. I'm really grateful for everything He's given already; the support has been encouraging to no end. May Your will be done, Your purpose revealed.

Revealing Your purpose in me

Glad that God pulled me through the whole of today (:
Just two days left! And the last piece of work to be completed tonight too, must finish by 1am! Then I can go sleep ohhh glorious sleep.

Council campaigning's been an eye-opener in many ways; spent a few hours just talking with Kartik about everything and anything, and I'm very thankful that I've got friends like these that surprise me all the time (:

Finding the right words to say, but they've been coming out all wrong recently. It's time to make a start tomorrow.
