Another day of meaningless slaving away at my books. ~ARGH~ my pile of work is literally coming over me like a land slide! Somebody SAVE me!!!

Stuck with so many tasks to complete, so much work left unfinished, so many topics left untouched. The situation of disparity dawns over me. Ironically, i see it all but i can't force myself to get down to the dirty work. Something's wrong with me...

Was bored..so i decided to try out a recipe tt i found online for XX cake..shall not say wat it is in case it turns out reallie terrible, as in horrific beyond recognition. Haha..at least i know i can post a picture of the end product and use any other 2 word cake name to account for the mess. and of course make use of my lovely family members to help me consume the 'garbage' since my father has the strongest opinion regarding not letting food (of any grade) go to waste. HEHE. wat a genius i am...haha.

So after putting the batter into the oven to bake. I proceeded with my assignments... Time passed..*clock ticking*..ALAS!!! i forgot about the cake!!!

*scuttles off to the kitchen in a flash*

Hmph...in the end, it didn't turn out that bad after all. Tee hee...

as u can see..i decided to reveal the name of the cake. haha..oh well. Its YUMMY!!! Smooth cheese between chocolatey layers of sponge. Just right with a cup of hot coffee on a wet afternoon...

He maketh no mistakes

In the last year, my faith has weakened tremendously.I have lead a life with no guidance, highlighted by sins and evil influences. Temptations lurking around the corner, i had succumbed to those. My conscience has failed me, my mind muffling out the pleads of my inner voice to turn back. In times of trouble and turmoil, without a doubt, i point a finger at God to blame him for whatever that has not gone my way. When things work out(which they haven't had in a long time), I attribute all success to my own doings and effort.

Why has my faith become so weak?

Why do i buckle under trials and tribulations instead of seeking the Lord for peace and strength?

While looking through a pile of paper today, I came across a poem. I was inspired, comforted yet shamed at the same time. Shamed tt i had shunned the Lord for such a long time thinking tt i could do it on my own. I was wrong...

This poem also goes out to all those out there whose faith is challenged or are encoutering trying times in their life. May you seek peace in the Lord and find yourself in him... Trust that he always be there for you. Come rain or come shine.

HE MAKETH NO MISTAKE
My Father's way may twist and turn,
My heart may throb and ache,
But in my soul I'm glad to know
He maketh no mistake.
My cherished plans may go astray,
My hopes may fade away,
But still I'll trust my Lord to lead,
For he doth know the way.
Tho' night be dark and it may seem
That day will never break,
I'll pin my faith, my all, in Him;
He maketh no mistake.
There's so much not I cannot see.
My eyesight far too dim,
But come what may,
I'll simply trust and leave it all to Him.
For by and by the mist will lift,
And plain it all He'll make:
Through all the way, tho' dark to me,
He made not one mistake.

I was weak and you were strong

A world inside of me


Written by: Sihan


Time passed – A rebel storm-blast scattered.
My head, a tangled mass of vine and rubble.
A world left behind
Abandoned, torn by strong winds and the merciless sun .

Tall mighty statues,
Testament of it’s once glorified past.
Now stand half buried in the sands,
Disfigured, weathered,
Unremembered.

There are those who look upon this world.
They have hopes of salvaging it.
Restoring it to the state that it once was.
But the world shuns them
The unpredictable weather, as though a beast,
Raging its fury upon those who dare to venture near.

Then as the exhausted combatants turn their backs on this world
Once again,
It calms down
The lonely sand dunes speaks of its pain
The drifting winds tell the secrets of its innermost feelings.
Thoughts of a world that has been left behind,
Forgotten.

Running all over the shop.

Finally back in the comforts of my room..AHHH..a whole day of running the show. gets pretty tiring sometimes especially with the many minor mishaps that happened along the way. yada yada yada..But overall it was a good experience as it gave us programmers an insight to the actual event. Think there wld have to be a lot of changes made to the plan though. The only thing standing in our way is time..i mean with the exams drawing to a near and the event a little over a month away, it just seems a little absurd to be scraping some of our intial plans and implementing new ones. But its for the better i guess. Shall just stick my foot in my mouth and DO IT!!!

oh boi..was kinda tired just now as i only caught a meagre 3 hrs of slp the nite b4 but somehow i ain't slpy anymore..hmph..u shld check out the size of my eye bags though..their HUGE!.haha

Met up with the gang for a belated celebration for our two bdae bois..Was kinda weird coz i was never reallie close to tt gang apart from of course the two bois..haha.. It was fun though. Went to Newton circus for dinner, cake and some beer!!! Erdinger!!! Nice..*slurp*..

bdae bois Lin Sui and Paul lighting the candles

Me and Paul!!!

Tim and Paul (plus Claire who tried to sneak into the background..haha)

Ever Kawaii Claire and hmph..her not so happie bf Yanwei.haha
Sui and Me...

The gang soon parted ways and then it was time for me to PARTYEE!!! nah..kidding.. Went to watch 'The Prestige' with baby. It was a very captivating movie i must say. Its about two magicians overwhelmed by their obsession for magic. After an unfortunate incident, both embarked on a quest to outdo each other and to dig out each others secrets. Great movie overall. Teaches you that obsessions can indeed be deadly.
We went on to have some sinful late nite snacking at coffee club express after the movie. Had the yummilicious muddy mud pie upon baby's recommendations and the mexicano(coffee)..hehe..Sorrie.ain't have any photos for those. Too bad folks..hehe..

Hmph, read this article on the newspaper this morning..My gosh..quoted from this morning's article of 'Indoor smoking makes air 28 times more polluted' : 'When the PSI hits 300, it means there are more than 251 microns per cubic metre. ' and 'The study has found that it takes just two lit cigarettes, in an enclosed room the size of a HDB bedroom, to generate 622 microgrammes of pollutants. '..by simple maths, that would mean that in an average pub/club, the psi index would hit a little more than 622/251x300 = 743.42629 which is way way way higher than the highest 150 which we encountered recently. OH MY GOSH!!!! haha. Now i've no cause to complain about haze anymore..woopsie..hehe.

If loving you with all my heart is a crime...I'm guilty.

Blame it on my insensitivity. I’m not good with my words…neither am I able to read signs that well. I wish I cld though…then I would knoe wat to say to you. We see each other rather often however it transcends a likeness to a situation where a couple meets only once a week. Why? Is it because of the lack of communication? We, not feeling for each other? Or is it because we can’t get enough of each other? Somehow, I think it’s the former... You tell me tt we need to talk… your tone so harsh and serious. Sends shivers all the way to my stomach, I’m nervous…is something wrong?

I need you to know how much I need you beside me all the time, but I do not know how to express tt desire in words. I respect your freedom, your decisions…but if wanting and needing u is a crime, then, I’m guilty. Should I speak my mind? Will you think me weak if I showed how vulnerable I am to your mood changes?

I can’t breathe easy…I can’t sleep at night till u’re lying next to me…

*Phew*...been kinda busy with preparations for RAT Race aka Race against Time..yeh..for the benefit of the ignorant folks out there i'll gif u a brief introduction to the race. Rat race is an adventure race or rather like the amazing race tt used to hogged our screens before. Organised by NTU ODAC..its a multi disciplinary competition that involves brains, teamwork endurance and strength. Teams of four with at least one member of the opposite sex, will follow clues to checkpoints and complete tasks given to them before proceeding on. These checkpoints span the island taking contestants far and wide. Guranteed fun!!! haha..Can't wait for the final event which would be held on the 8th Dec'06. so exciting... Meanwhile, preparations for the dry run program this sat is running on a very tight schedule. There's just so much stuff to do!!! oh yesh, i'm a programmer btw..heh.. argh..so guess i'll be on top of the blaming list if anything shld crop up. *GULP*

Urge to walk in the rain...

Have you ever sat in the warmly-lit room looking out at the rain and the cold, thinking to yourself perhaps it wld be better to be out there? To trudge heavy steps in the puddles of water, to see the flash of lightning above ur head, the ferocious roar of thunder; feel the cold as your shirt sticks to your back. The numbing winds pinching your skin... I did. I'm a self confessed lover to the pastime of walking in the rain...

Oh well, plans for the upcoming holiday have started to take shape and within a day, We (my family and I) had formulated plans and made several bookings. Mt Kinabalu and Vietnam it would be.. But somehow all these weren't wat i had in mind.. I just want to spend some time with you.

Love is never a simple thing...sometimes you have to give, and other times you take. Its a tricky business here..Sometimes it pays to pay a little more attention to details, sometimes things wld turn ard to bite if u if u're over analytical... *sigh*..why can't love be easier to comprehend? Then it wld spare many of us the heartaches...
