I subscribe to this online daily bible verse, a reminder to me about God's importance especially so during our busy lives. Today it talked about the 10 commandments, and specifically the one about not having any other idols in our lives besides God.

Exodus 20: 4-5 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God" I think it rings true. Sometimes I put my priorities on other worldly things, and in that sense idolise them. It could be the value I put in trying to please someone, hoping to satisfy and fulfil another person's expectations, or the mindless pursuit of ideal love, maybe all we have to do, so as to better our lives and live a more fulfilled life, was to put our trust and faith in God. 

I found this on a random blog, but it seemed to make some sense.

"However we try, still a thing looks morally better because we want it. For that reason, our heart is often our worst counsellor, for it is filled with desire it may give us bad advice, pleading the purity of something that is in itself anything but pure." - A.W. TozerHowe

"A Woman's Question"
by Lena Lathrop (from "I Kissed Dating Goodbye")

Do you know you have asked for the costliest thing
Ever made by the Hand above?
A woman's heart, and a woman's life -
And a woman's wonderful love.

Do you know you have asked for this priceless thing
As a child might ask for a toy?
Demanding what other have died to win,
With the reckless dash of a boy.

You have written my lesson of duty out,
Manlike, you have questioned me.
Now stand at the bars of my woman's soul
Until I shall question thee.

You require your mutton shall always be hot,
Your socks and your shirt be whole;
I require your heart be true as God's stars
And as pure as His heaven your soul.

You require a cook for your mutton and beef,
I require a far greater thing;
A seamstress you're wanting for socks and shirts -
I look for a man and king.

A king for the beautiful realm called Home,
And a man that his Maker, God,
Shall look upon as He did on his first
And say, "It is very good."

I am fair and young, but the rose may fade
From this soft young cheek one day;
Will you love me then 'mid the falling leaves,
As you did 'mong the blossoms of May?

Is your heart an ocean so strong and true,
I may launch my all on its tide?
A loving woman finds heaven or hell
On the day she is made a bride.

I require all things that are grand and true,
All things that a man should be;
If you give this all, I would stake my life
To be all you demand of me.

If you cannot be this, a laundress and cook
You can hire and little to pay;
But a woman's heart and a woman's life
Are not to be won that way.

on a completely different note, t just introed this song to me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhN7SG-H-3k and omggxxedwtp it's absolutely a gorgeous piece and here's the dealbreaker. I CAN PLAY IT!!!! :D :D :D :D :D okay i have to get my sleepyself off to cityhall NAO so i wont be late for dinnerzxzxz. going out everyday is very tiring leh! i have to scribble CHOPED in bigbig letters in my planner so noone can touch them. i feel very important when i say i have a planner. my mom adamantly refers to it as a NOTEBOOK. and the fact that it's pinkISH makes her say NOTEBOOK in much the same way as one would say BARBIEDOLLPLAYSET >( hahaha

it never stays the same for long

when you think things cant get any more complicated it's just a sign that it can

it's disconcerting how we can make the same mistakes AGAIN even though it flipping hurt

learn well jojo ANNE OH

this week was good (:

life is exciting is exciting is exciting!!! (3 exclamation points and outflashing of eyes to underscore my point) i look at my dustypink planner and i just feel this surge of !!! :D :D :D and more outflashing of eyes at all the people i'm going to meet, all the things i'm going to do, the fun i'm squeezing in before the bell tolls on 31 january and cinders returns.

and even after this week ends and i settle down to less bouncy and more serious stuff, it just gets curiouser and curiouser as aptly encapsulated by alice. going to find out more about uni course and scholarships and talk to so many people about it too! really thank God at the way He's been moving in my life, sending people along my way to show me love and just guide me along. eugene and all his 2 years worth of NS wisdom about unis and courses, weixiong who gamely offered to hone my interview skills HAHAHA, zhiwei and law and just you, you and you (:

mommy's been right all along. to not set ~ down so fast even though ~ still seems wont on it. i'm going to try my harderestest to resist the temptations of msn and fb especially when i get home late and still WANT TO check my email. if i can, it's the entire week offline jojo. Nights should be better spent in deep contemplation, soul-searching, reading His Word and just drinking in the nectar of the dark. so toodles my loves, i'll be trying to live wireless (:

but of course. i'm not going to be so legalistic. I HAVE MY PHONE HAHA so throw away msn as a (pretty lousy) form of communication and make my day with a little inbox inhabitant sent my way (:

yayy crepckgs! chckyrpostnsbys (:

sometimes the best advice comes from books, especially those with the Godly perspective. here's an excerpt from Boy Meets Girl that really spoke to me: 

Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one's life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down. Perhaps it crept to one's side like an old friend through quiet ways. Perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose. until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music. Perhaps... perhaps... love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath.

How lovely this analogy. Sometimes it's better to just be friends. And let God choose our one friend to become our one true lover.

i think we all hide behind happy facades and punctuation cause it hurts too much to show the real raw deal

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D23sjATRmQw&feature=related

Cos if I add, if I subtract
If I give it all, try to take some back
I've forgotten the freedom that comes from the fact
That you are the sum

i got a nice new planner! in my favourite colour with a pen in my favourite colour too! borders is super lousy only have ex planners like 78$ ?!?! and dont have the joshua harris book also LOUSY!

its dark maroon = dark brown + light white! :D and now only filled with 3 hearts, details for the past few days and BIRTHDAYS!! yes i resolve to not forget anyone's birthday this year and to faithfully use my planner until 31dec2010.

wish me luck haha i hope i can still find it by my birthday.

words obscure as much as they reveal. that's why it's easy to hide behind them. especially when they're toneless words, devoid of a specific pinpointable emotion. pretty much accounts for the popularity of msn and sms.

absurdity, rhythm and the spaces between words. sometimes matter more than the letters themselves

hugh jackman! who MAY just rival zac efron. note the use of MAY haha. and this!! is when he appeared at the ball and turned around so suavely and THE WHOLE THEATRE GASPED. haha not bad ah!

hmm

omg i'm so going to disown you if -
