dear Lord, thank you for today, in spite of failing my driving test. Lord, im still grateful for every single thing today. perhaps if i hadnt failed it, i wouldnt realise what a prideful person i still am inside. i wouldnt have been humbled like i was. i wouldnt think twice about the consequences of reckless driving. and wouldnt have realised that there's still much in me that needs changing.
i wouldnt remember the feeling of disappointment or the weary feelings after i have cried; after all, failures and all seem like a distant blurred memory now that i have merely been enjoying my extended break that i have grown so comfortable with. it wouldnt have dawned upon me that im fallible and very, very vulnerable. i wouldnt realise that my tears can hurt the people around me. and most importantly, i wouldnt have realise what a loving family i am blessed with, and how much i really do love them.
thank you for reassuring words from daddy, mummy and yes, i know gabriel tried as well:) thank you for a lunch treat from dad that made me feel alot happier after that. (i hereby proved my theory that carbo really does make people a lot contented and happier.) thank you for a karoke session with people i can simply be myself. i have a voice capable of inducing all sorts of winces on anyone's face but at least no one said anything today--yes i felt a lot better after that. thank you for the wonderful musical. shanghai blues wasnt the best, but was still great really--nothing beats sharing songs and laughter with those you love. and yes.thank you for nags from mum, reminding me it's time for bed:)--going to sleep soon mum!

sorry i made such a big fuss about failing. today really wasnt that bad a day after all. thank you for making all things beautiful in your time. im still upset Lord that i failed to live up to my expectations but i know now Lord that it's all part of your plan for me. help me remember what really matters to me and you.

it's strange how you know the holidays are here when most of your friends start disappearing. perhaps having had the burden of meeting datelines removed, it's that sudden increase in spare time that makes that wistfulness well up in you even more.

something my friend said today that struck me. "well, it's good for us as christians, cos at least we know that God has already prepared that special someone for us." such faith that sometimes i simply dont have the courage to have. maybe if i knew for sure that say at 21 im going to get a guy that loves me for who i am and with whom im hopelessly in love with, maybe i would have been more confident of what to expect, of who i am, and of my faith. but thinking again, then that probably isnt faith anymore. surprisingly i came across this statement today. "faith is one that hands everything to God, confident in his character and purposes rather than our answers." how apt. faith is more than believing that every story will have a fairy tale ending, rather it's believing in the writer of the story that he will give each story a well ended conclusion.

a song, any song.

cruel to be kind - letters to cleo one of those songs that still dont make sense to me even though i read the lyrics a million times over. but i love it nonetheless, perhaps because of the smile that creeps onto my face everytime i think of the sweet scene between patrick verona and kat stratford in 10 things i hate about you . there's just something about romantic shows that always seem to get me, no matter how cheesy these moments might seem on hindsight.
