Something Thoughtful
One of my friends quoted this:
"Would you prefer to be just a normal star which always shines like other millions of star in the night sky; or a shooting star which illuminates the whole night sky but never lasts?"
I think I'm the shooting star type. I'd rather be something special than just something ordinary. It's like saying - "I'd rather have a nice piece of medium rare steak cooked to perfection; than a hundred overcooked and dried up chunk of meat." Or in the words of one of my wacky friends - "I'd rather spend a minute with Jessica Alba than spend a year with Cher." Pretty true.
Which ones are you? =P
Update: I still owe 2 things = (1) posting a short video of my room when it's still clean and tidy + (2) posting my tempura recipe for Jo Yan.
Since last week's futsal incident, I've been limping my way to lectures. Quite an experience actually. People either look at you out of curiosity/busybody or they actually genuinely be nicer to you. For example: an old lady offer me her seat in the bus... Now THAT'S something you DON'T experience everyday. Of course I insisted that she keep her seat - a gentleman will always be a gentleman. =P
Been quite down lately. I guess the beginning of term and finding out the magnitude of stuff expected of me has really taken its toll on my emotions. I really need God to show me my path this year. I know in the past I've been very independent and believed that I'm in no position to ask anything from God. Hearing how God has blessed the people around me - it really does make me yearn for the same. This year... All I ask from you God is NOT amazing results (I don't think I'm that greedy or worthy); but - and I quote:
"God, please guide me and give me the strength to carry myself through the hard times, and accurately reflect my efforts and abilities when the time arises."
God, this is all I ask from you this year. It's my desperate cry for help.

You'll get it, everything has an answer, we just tend to overlook it. The bad can't exist without the good after all.
A quote for you :
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference."
Some says, we cannot judge a person by only one season, and that the essence of who they are - and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life - can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of spring. the beauty of summer, the fulfilment of fall. Don’t judge life by one difficult season. Don’t let the part of one season cancel out the joy of all the others =)
May God continue to guide you in peace,love,joy and happiness always =) Tata~
