The History of Love

Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.”
— Nicole Krauss (The History of Love)

goood stuff :)

body is still aching like mad..

i think last night was one of those independent-me nights…after dinner, i wasnt feeling too well so i showered and immediately went to my room to sleep while my parents were watching The Book of Eli on dvd. watching a dvd is fine with me but when it happens at home, it’s another story.. with my dad’s powerful sound system and that wretched subwoofer that sends doors rattling, falling asleep was definitely a challenge. NONETHELESS, instead of throwing a fit, i stayed in bed, tossed and turned for a while and slept from 10pm till 9.30am before taking a nap from 10am-1pm. the sleep’s been doing me good plus the crazy amt i perspired in my sleep (in the aircon room) seems to help..

right now, im kinda craving for the old school 80 cent walnut cake i shared with collin just yesterday.

but i dont think that will do my sorethroat and my mouth any good (i took a few bites from it and i had a huge ulcer seconds later)

anyway, i am (finally) excited for the sydney trip with claud, mag, collin and glenn :D

kyoot.

LIKE MOTHER, LIKE DAUGHTER//.

reflection.

the key to a breakthrough: obedience.

Teach me, convict me… i want to be someone “who asks for no praise and seeks no place, happy only when the glory is attributed to God; to desire nothing but the glory of God and the purity of the church”.

the solution is simple.

the answer is obvious.

the problem is rebelliousness/ disobedience/ defiance/ insubordination/ our authority issues.

grace

i dont deserve…

yet…

He gives.

i dont get it…i really dont.

but am i suppose to get it?

wishlist

if only they had these clothes in adult sizes…

sunrise

loving the beautiful view of the sky frm my room :)

mm been having alot of things on my mind nowadays..guess im entering into a new season.

ecclesiastes 3 + to ‘build my house on the rock’.

it’s a time for me to die..so that i may be born again.
a time for me to pluck up what has been planted (seeds of lies, evil..etc.) and plant the Word of God in my heart.
a time to kill (the fleshy nature) and a time to heal (with the power and touch of the Spirit);
a time to break down (to tear down the walls that stop me from seeking God) and a time to build up (to learn more, to increase my understanding and to deepen my relationship w Him);
a time to weep (letting go of certain things will not be easy..gna be a struggle) and a time to laugh (to trust in his plans and to be secure amidst times of doubt);
a time to mourn and a time to dance….. (same as above)

after much thought and ‘reflection’ and prayer, God revealed to me the underlining reason for my struggles etc. for the past few weeks i’ve seen the ugliest side of myself and it just made me realise how shaky or vulnerable my foundation is. so yes pretty ‘excited’ to see what this ‘season’ has in store for me…i know it’s not gng to be easy but no pain no gain..

and on a random note, i am pretty excited for church camp. so glad that my mum’s gng too :)

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone,
my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

what heights of love
what depths of peace
when fears are stilled
when strivings cease
my Comforter, my all in all
here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone
who took on flesh
fullness of God in helpless babe
this gift of love and righteousness
scorned by the ones he came to save

till on that cross as Jesus died
the wrath of God was satisfied
for every sin on him was laid
here in the death of Christ, I live.

There in the ground,
His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
then bursting forth in glorious day
up from the grave he rose again

And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life
No fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell
no sin of man
can ever pluck me from His hand
till he returns or calls me home
here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

In Christ Alone- Newsboys

rainy afternoon

I write metaphors à la Slyvia Path
then be Lucille Ball just to make you laugh
then I walk the streets just like Marilyn Monroe
And I flip my hair just like Bridget Bardot

loving The Girls with Glasses Theme song :) just watched the video online and i really loved their wardrobe! haha anyway it’s a rainy saturday..kinda stuck at home with nothing much to do. Overslept in the morning so i didnt get to get my morning workout fix in the gym :( and i stuffed myself silly with sushi in the afternoon so yes i’m just reclining on my big black chair feeling the effects of  too much carbo (read, lethargy and sleepiness) churning in my belly. Anyhoo 5 more days before i head back home to Singapore :) cant wait.. haha im pretty excited to just chilll at home, watch a ton of dvds without worrying about ‘assignments’ and of course SJC church camp :) I’m quite glad i’m able to go cos i know my mum was hoping i could ‘accompany; her so yupp :) other than that, my days have been pretty…..stoic. gym, bake, cook…and currently, I’m trying to get into the habit of reading and ‘studying’ the bible. as much as i do read it, i dont think i’ve been able to ‘memorize’ verses or parts of it that I know I shld be paying more attention to so yupp. really hope that in the next 5 days i can make the best use my time and ‘study’ the word. oky for now i shall watch some Modern Family (goood stuff) and wait till my stomach digests lunch + growls (for dinner)….
