Retreat!

Friday, April 11th, 2008

I’m finally getting a break from all of you and all of this and all of everything. I’m falling sick and still there are tons of things to do, people to look after, things to take care of. I can’t wait to be on my way [i was tempted to bring my laptop with me, but i decided what the heck] away from civilisation as the world knows it, technology [although my phone is necessary =) ] and my email inbox. I’m so glad that i’m just up and leaving, with no care in the world about everything. I’m just dumping all’you n ciao-ing.

of course i’d have to face them all again when i come back, but oh well. Retreating is good sometimes. If only i could bring my blankie along to camp out under, now that would make retreating all the better. See ya!

Some people…

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

Everyday there’s some irritation in my life, be it skin-wise or people-wise.

Some people really irritate me. 

Some, even go to the FAR FAR extents of REALLY REALLY annoying me. 

This list of people would probably be the longest list i’ve ever written.

I was seriously tempted to compile this list, daunting job as it is, but… 

…considering myself,..

…and God’s list for my sins…

…this list would probably be very short in comparison.

Phew! Ain’t i lucky i’m forgiven? 

So i’ve forgotten [on purpose] all about that list. Not necessarily the people who belong on it, but definitely forgotten the compiling of said list.

Tag, I’m it!

Monday, April 7th, 2008

A. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves . Tag 8 people. Those who are tagged cannot refuse.

B. These 8 people must state who they were tagged by. Ash tagged me. You cannot tag the person who tagged you. Continue this game by sending this to 8 other people.

 

1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?

Hm. Run away? Camp out under my blanket for a few days, maybe =/

2. What will you do if you do not share the same feelings as the person who likes you?

Aww, that’s just too bad. Sorry la.

3. What will your dream wedding be like?

Hehe, something so fantastic that it’ll have to be kept secret for fear others might copy it =P

4. Are you confused as to what lies ahead of you?

Looking forward to, maybe. Dreading, not so much. Confused, definitely not.

5. What’s your ideal lover like?

There is no ideal, because i wouldn’t know what ideal is if it hit me in the forehead. 
I am not ideal, therefore i wouldn’t be able to recognise an ideal lover. 

6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone else?

Loving someone. Although being loved does have perks =)

7. If the person you like does not accept you, would you continue to wait for them to change their feelings?

If it’s not meant to be, it’s not meant to be. Que sera sera.

8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?

Haha, i try not to like people who are attached. Dangerous waters. Hie away. Quickly!

9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy recently?

Happiness is relative.

10. What do you want most in life?

To live life above reproach.

11. Is being tagged fun?

Depends [on the stupidity of the tagged questionnaire]

12. If you find out that your best friend is going out with your boyfriend/girlfriend, how would you react?

Please refer to Question number one. 

13. Who is currently the most important person to you?

The most would not be any human person, currently.
 
14. What kind of person do you think I am?

Ash. What can i say about Ash… Hm… Words fail me. 

15. What is the most unforgettable thing/event in your life?

Hm, too many to mention i guess. Unforgettable = my 16th birthday. My two happy surprises.

16. If the person you secretly like cannot recognise you, what would you do/how would you react?

Cannot recognise? Hah? Who wouldn’t be able to recognise me? Hahaha

17. Would you give your all in a relationship?

Define "all". If "all" is literally ALL, then sorry. No. If "all" means being loyal, faithful, something to that effect, then i’ll think about it =)

 18. If you fall in love with two persons simultaneously, who would you pick?

Hmm, that’s the kind of situation i’m having trouble with right now. I’m in love with me, myself and i am having too much trouble deciding between me and myself. They’re both excellent people =)

19. What type of friends do you like?

It seems i am attracted more to friends who are opposites of me, but i guess anyone who has quick wit, good humour and a good sense of humour would be good.

 20. If you played a prank on someone, and he/she fell for the trick, what would you do?

Hahah, press the capture button on my camera?

I Tag whoever lah!

Thank God for small mercies!

A perhaps-not-so-very-interesting-to-you story about life:

…and Erin’s a procrastinator. So what do procrastinators [like me] do? They like to procrastinate. So procrastinate she did, this Erin did. 

She left her final project to the very final end and rushed through her work like a jet. Like a jet, she left trails of mayhem behind, splattered all over the pages. The judgement day came, a dreadful short Friday, she still hadn’t finished, her hands coloring as fast as she can. She berated herself for being so foolish, and dumb and idiotic and a failure. Then in walks her mate, confused to why poor Erin was rushing, when the deadline was only on Monday.

"Phew!", Erin said, "What a relief! I rushed all this time for nothing." So she goes on home, and lives to tell, the story of her amazing God and His mercies. 

Now Monday is here, and she’s finished her work but she dreads having to meet her awful lecturer. But she strolled boldly down, to his office and found that he was sick and in bed! Hahaha, Erin shouted with glee in her heart, not for the fact that he’s sick. But because of the many many small mercies she’d received.

Lots of stuff on my mind

Sunday, April 6th, 2008

I wasn’t supposed to go for Threadszoo, had a last minute meeting so i decided against going, but ended up i could, cos the meeting was shortened. So i ended up bumping into Qian and Swen there. Didn’t take any pictures, but i did haul some stuff home. 

Anyway, more important things have happened in life. Like AFC, the new committee and the meets, so here’s a peek at what happened at the last meet.

I had loads of fun ahaha so you guys come for the next one okay =) Watch for updates on the AFC blog. Oh yeah, all you AFCian bloggers who read my blog, please link to the AFC site, so we can let everyone know and they can visit it themselves for updates.

 

This is only part of the stuff that’s been bugging my mind. But well, it’s better now that other people are picking up the slack so i don’t have to do it all by myself. Thank goodness i don’t have to completely go bonkers wondering what to do for the next meet.  Still bonkers but not as much hehe. It’s late now, so i’ll continue my boring updates to life another time. Haven’t had the time to sit down to blog interesting things lately, so many apologies for that. Well, whoever you are, you’re reading still…haha, no life ah?

Psychic psychosis

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008

Sigh, do you know that i can tell the future? at least my own. And that also it’s limited to the very near future. 

I predict… that i will be very busy from today onwards. I will have lots of work [what ever happened to nice predictable predictions like you will have lots of money and handsome men running after you?] and i will have to use my brain more than the usual [which probably amounts to less than 1%]. Not only that, i will have to really BE responsible - not just talk about it [heh heh] - and be organized and not procrastinate ANYTHING.

I also predict… that i will probably fail half these things. Ha ha. But it’s good to be a failure…cos then i can be made perfect in Christ. I could predict that… with God’s strength, i’ll be able to accomplish this.

Responsibility and diligence : my two small hard things.

How much more complicated does it get?

Friday, March 28th, 2008

pregs32008.jpg Thomas Beatie is a man and he’s pregnant. 

What’s more: biologically, he’s a woman.

Confused yet: he [originally a she] had decided to get gender reassignment. Thomas took testosterone and had his breasts removed, but he kept the vagina. 

More to frazzle you: His partner, is not able to bear children and they really wanted biological children, so Thomas went off his bi-monthly testosterone injections and now they’re expecting a baby girl in July.

Oh dear.
