..my battle stance..

Finishing off (or rather, fully rewriting) the entry that I intended to post yesterday. So in between bombie's call and her arrival with andreas at plasing, couple of things happened. and I was thinking bout some stuff I think worth writing. there was, twice, call from my 80s year old distant relative who was on a noble but frankly, unnecessary matchmaking mission. then there was this thought about wedding guest list. think I got to make disclaimer 1st.. I don't have to have issue with gay for me to write about gay. I just have to think that it's worth writing. got it? so.. back to the point. my theory is.. if anything, the inclusion or exclusion of your name in an old time friend's wedding guest list is the pass/fail benchmark of your relationship with the person thru out the years. of course when you 'pass', you also have first class honors, 2nd class, or merit. which benchmarks are harder to define. and btw.. if you are now on an active terms with that friend

The dreaded 2012 is about to complete its first quarter. Greece is currently looking safe but Europe is still in danger of a major meltdown. Greece, after all, represents only a fraction of Euro economy. Who knows what gonna happen next? All I see and know is that.. 2012 has forced us to stare point blank at the most essential things in life, the basic of basics. Here and there I heard stories of family members getting sick, and I myself have been spending quite a bit on doctor this year -__- If any of you are expert in stock market, do let me know which pharmaceutical company is good value to invest in. I am so going to invest in health business hah. And church-wise, my friend thought this year we will see a great shaking, where those churches who promote worldly value and wealth will be shaken to the core. Then churches will come to their sense and back on their knees before the unshakeable core: Christ. We'll see. :) In general though, I agree that this will be time of pruning.

I was SOO Enchanted by this IU clip, for reason that I am not sure I know, that I accidentally posted a wall on TLG fb page -____- So.. I guess I better not post the clip on fb liao. Here goes... somehow, dunno why, my fave clip of the year so far ^__^ Not that I am caught by k-wave. but they sure do have nice clips!

lines of green lights.. how far can we run before we have to stop? feigning ignorance.. how many times do we escape before our eyes betray us? we never knew how to make this perfect, approval is not something we are born with. and the right timing never seem to arrive, maybe the clock is dead to begin with. what if we knew the answer all along?

This k-pop song is playing on radio lately. And I think it's quite catchy. Dunno anything about this group tho.

it never fails to amaze me, how fast time flies. it was freaking SIX years ago when I first went to japan with bun san, and met with some Singaporean friends, one of them being a tigress who turned out to be dian and fenny's school mate at NUS. well she came across like a tigress because she was always on constant 'fight' with our tour guide who tried too much to impress her. and it was more than TWO years ago since we last met, when she asked me to help her looking for a house. then.. she asked me what's the agent commission she has to pay as condo buyer. and i said.. we take commission from seller in condo transaction. to which she replied, "you shouldn't have told me that." lately she's on house hunting mode again. but I did not really meet up with her until today. looks like she has mellowed a lot since six years ago. interesting how people could change. still bubbly but not as loud. and quite amazing how in two years, she could up her budget from

Good one from AllWorship Lord, I am committed to traveling through life with the people that you have assigned for me to help and those to help me. Give me the discernment and wisdom to successfully manage every relationship. I invite you to develop my character to maintain these relationships. And now, I celebrate you for getting the glory in every connection that I have. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

The words first appear on bible in 1 Samuel. I thought it was such a great phrase. It means stone of help. 'Thus far the Lord has helped us', said Samuel. Read it few days ago. And somehow ko Harun mentioned these words again when he prayed before sermon on Sunday. Looking back, indeed the Lord has been my Eben Haezer. And looking forward, I know He will still be my Eben Haezer. Right to the last breath.. right to the last beat of my heart.

This is your chance, ladies! Oxford Dictionary of English Folklore: leap year The dominant belief about leap year is that it is the only time that a woman may propose marriage to a man, rather than what was considered to be the natural order of things: the other way round. This was often called ‘The Ladies' Privilege’. At the time of writing, it is probably true to say that younger English people would not be aware of the belief if the media did not run features on the subject every fourth February. In previous times, when relationships between the sexes were more rigid and formal, there were a number of subsidiary beliefs surrounding the Ladies’ Privilege. Some said that it was only on Leap Year day, that is 29 February, that it was valid, while others believed that a man proposed to in this way could not refuse, except on substantial payment—a silk gown, or £ 100, and so on. Indeed, it was widely reported (erroneously) that there had been a Scottish Act of Parliament in the 13th
