..my battle stance..

Just got full series of "How I Met Your Mother" from my housemate. I think it's pretty consoling to watch that series during this "Almost 30" period. Why? Coz when you get to season 6, Barnie was now 35 and so was Ted, I suppose. Both were still not married and that kinda give you assurance: "It's okay that you haven't settled down by now. Look at these guys!" Well, settling down aside.. the last 10 years have been FANTASTIC!!! Thank you God. Never deserved the friends, moments, and love I received for the last decade. Went to NUS with my bro last week. As we encountered Poh's greatest enemy, the never ending stairs at Arts faculty, my heart pounded. So many memories, the emotion was just overwhelming. And yet.. all was in the past. Now.. I am just itching for a new adventure. And for most of the things I've been talking or thinking about for the last 10 years, by God's grace.. I will actually make it happen in the next 10 years. He...

In the twenty years I've worked for you, ewes and she-goats never miscarried. I never feasted on the rams from your flock. I never brought you a torn carcass killed by wild animals but that I paid for it out of my own pocket—actually, you made me pay whether it was my fault or not. I was out in all kinds of weather, from torrid heat to freezing cold, putting in many a sleepless night. For twenty years I've done this: I slaved away fourteen years for your two daughters and another six years for your flock and you changed my wages ten times. If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not stuck with me, you would have sent me off penniless. But God saw the fix I was in and how hard I had worked and last night rendered his verdict.- Gen 31:38-42 When Jacob eventually moved to Egypt and met with Pharaoh, he was asked how old he was and here's his answer: The years of my sojourning are 130—a short and hard life.. While he managed to 'steal' Es...

Err.. nothing special about this date hah. I just have no idea for this entry's title. The last comment I got was from this 'anon' person who suggested that I add facebook link to my blog. well.. i suppose phoenixsphere is a place where I prefer to blog with minimal exposure. But I am thinking of starting a website where I can do experiments with all these social network tools. The only problem is.. I have lost touch with web programming world, like totally. Sigh.. my 4 years in NUS has gone down the drain -___- I wish I can ask someone to teach me how to get this started. anyway.. watched a china movie titled "Flowers" on cable this morning. the story was about an inspirational teacher. in a parallel world.. I would like to be a teacher. maybe in a village. Suddenly remember a conversation with iie the other night. I was saying that a mentor is really crucial, and I am still looking for one or two mentors in my life. he asked me.. would I be willing to be a mento...

life is too short to be spent.. fighting for someone else' dream, trying to be someone you never meant to be, and clinging onto that someone that was never meant for you. but life can definitely afford the time spent.. risking failures for your own dream, going against the crowds to remain the person you're supposed to be, and fighting all odds with that someone you believe in.
