People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway!
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind to them anyway!
If you are successful, you'll win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway!
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway!
What you spent years building, someone will destroy overnight;
Build anyway!
If you find serenity and happiness, they will be jealous;
Be happy anyway!
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway!
Give the world the best you have, and it'll never be enough;
Give the world your best anyway!
You see in the final analysis, it is between you and God,
Never between you and them anyway!

All of My Days
I will sing this song of gladness
Give my praise
To the fountain of Delight
For in my helplessness
You heard my cry
And waves of mercy
Poured down on my life
I will trust
In the cross of My Redeemer
I will sing
Of blood that never fails
Of sins forgiven
Of conscience cleansed
Of death defeated
And life without end
'Cause You're the Beautiful Saviour
You're the Wonderful Counsellor
Clothed in Majesty, Lord of History
You're the Way, the Truth, the Life
You're the Star of the Morning
Glorious in holiness
You're the Risen One, Heaven's Champion
And you reign, you reign over all
I long to be
Where the praise is never ending
Yearn to dwell
Where the glory never fades
Where countless worshippers
Will share one song
And cries of "Worthy"
Will honour the Lamb.
Got my exam results and all I can say is God is Good, for when I cried out, He came to my aid. Considering what I went through during my first semester this year, this sort of results is supposed to be impossible, all the mental suffering would have affected me one way or the other. But somehow, the results is on par with my usual standards. So all I can say is Thank you Lord for never making My Cross too heavy to bear, despite all suffering and the trials I went through earlier this year, all the suffering and tears I cried at night, You were there: You knew, you guided me. In fact, considering a lot of people found this year's paper a lot tougher than usual (me included) means not dropping my standard means even more.
My tutor was commenting when she saw my results (she knows about my problem in the first semester) that if this was my results when I went through so much suffering and trials, she can't wait to see the results when I am fully ok. Potentially it can be a lot better than my current script, which I am already delighted about.
Once again, I thank you Lord, for you have shown me that You are always there, especially in my deepest, darkest hours....

Make my life a prayer to You
I want to do what you want me to
No empty words, no white lies
No token prayers, no compromise
I want to shine the light You gave
Through Your Son You sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know You're really there
Well, I want to thank You for being patient with me
Oh, it's so hard to see when Your eyes are on me
I guess I'll have to trust and just believe what You say
Oh, You are coming again, coming to take me away
I want to die and let You give Your life to me that I may live
And share the hope You gave to me
The love that set me free
I want to tell the world out there
You're not some thing or fairy tale
I've made up inside my head
You are God the Son and You have risen from the dead

This is for all my friends, what I have to say to you here. Sorry if I forgot anyone here, all of you are important to me....
To Pip, Neha and Karen: Not sure if you people have even been to my website, but I just want to say how much I love you gals. Though we don't see each other as often as we used to, you are still always on my mind. Thanks for what you gals have done for me, hope to see you around more often.
To Mich: You know how much I miss you. Whatever I need to say I guess I have already told you. I still love you. Please take care of yourself and I'll see you in 4 months. Remember, I will be right here waiting for you.
To Ian and Venita: Thanks for being there for me when I needed u people the most. You guys rock! You managed to drag me out of the mud when I fell in this year. Thank you so so much!
To Steff: You're still AWOL! We're supposed to meet up when I was back, but you went on holidays instead? Anyway, we should catch up in November yah? We've known each other for around 7 years now? Still haven't change a bit.... Take care and have fun yah?
To Shan: I'm sorry I informed you so late when I got back, but I had a reason and I told you about it already yah? You have been great to me despite the lack of contact in recent years. Hope to see you soon yah?
To all my online friends and former students: You people have been really cool! I love talkin to you online though we seldom or even never met. You have been my sounding board and my shoulder to cry on when I was feeling down. Sometimes it is obvious, but sometimes it isn't. Thank you all anyway!
I am such a lucky person to have so many great friends in my life. I'll miss you guys lots.....

Sian-ness, going back again.... keep telling myself it's only 4 more months and I'll be through. I'm about 50% convinced at the moment.... I don't want you to feel guilty about me not wanting to go back. It has nothing to do with you, I'll still miss you so so much though the situation at your request is not the same anymore. It's just me: I need a longer break and I need people who understand me as I am, not the person they think I am.
I know we still have a future together and you just need a time out, hopefully not a too long one. We still have feelings for each other and that's all that matters.... After this time out, how long I don't know, I hope things will work out the way it always should have. Keep talkin to me cos you know I'm more than willing to listen to you. It is my passion and my future job to listen as well. =)
I hope you miss me as much as I miss you.... Will think of you everyday while I'm there, hoping that one day it'll all work out for you and me....
