Too Much To Bear. /// 11:50 AM

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and grief's to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
Thou wilt find a solace there.
i've entrusted all my problems to God and im not disappointed by the outcome of my actions.
-Thank You, Lord, for walking the journey of life with me esp when im feeling lost and confused. -

The True Beauty. /// 1:30 PM

i don't know why but she has got the sweetest smile, the kindest heart.
And wad's nice in that little heart is a heart full of love.

Whenever she looks at me, she alwaes forces a smile. But i can see that she looks tired, it's cuz she works long hours since i was born. she leaves home at 6 and comes home at 9 everyday. But she never complains. And she never goes out.

How i wish i could give mum a good life now : .. (

-Thank You, Lord, for songs of worship and praise. -

closer than ever. /// 2:42 PM

my heart goes out to my mum.
it is only today then i realise how much she has been through cuz of me and my sis.

tears were flowing when my mum and i had a heart-to-heart talk just now. she talked about her work, how miserable she felt the past few years, how she has alwaes wanted to quit but couldnt cuz she has support the family, how troubled she feels, how it pains her to see that me and my sis alwaes disobey her...

i have never known the suffering and pain that she has gone through. have alwaes thought that she has a care-free life with no worries unlike us teenagers.. my heart was sinking bit by bit as i come to know of how she has carried her burdens throughout the course of her 44 years on Earth. As i look into her face, i realise how much she has aged.. oh man, im such a selfish daughter.

im alwaes thinking of switching on the radio, the aircon, buying this and that, never sparing a thought for my mum who have worked extremely hard to support us, to give us joy and happiness. she doesn mind sacrificing her time and sleep to bring smiles to me and my sis' faces.

that's why i have decided to try and be a better daughter to mum. i know it's gonna be hard, but who cares, it doesn hurt trying.

-Thank You, Lord, for my inner-beauty-gorgeous mum.-

EQUINOX. /// 10:23 AM

forget about feeling frustrated.

went to equinox last night till bout 11. firstly, equinox is this restaurant on the 72th floor and man does this rocks... not only is the scenery of singapore at night breathtaking, the ambience, the food.. it all adds up to a perfectly, marvelloous time. how i wish to go there again.

my trip to equinox is like an eye-opener. i learnt so so many things.
hm.. like how to behave in a restaurant, how to eat this and that... OH MY OH MY..
the sights were like unbelievable..

EQUINOX is just the perfect place to have a date. it's so romantic!!! :*-)


oh ya, the dress code is smart casual. but since it was a last minute decision to go there, i was like wearing something that i would wear to go for a stroll. nevertheless, we were still let in. :ol the people who dined in the restaurant were wearing all those black flowing dresses and long vintage skirts with lacy tops. haha. that's how out-of-place i felt yesterday.

oh man. still can't believe it. i kept thinking about it in school, before i went to sleep yest.
it.is.truely.amazing.
.no kidding.

-Thank You, Lord, for summer blues. -

Girl's talk. /// 12:10 PM

had a long talk with mum last night...
found out three cool things about her:
1. she broke her school record for long jump when she was in Pri sch
2. she represented her school for long jump competitions
3. she was invited to sing in SBC with two of her other friends :')

this is like super cool la. have never known that mum is such a sporty person when she was young.
oh ya, she never attended the SBC thingy as she was too freaked out. of course, she got scolded by her teacher.

I AM OFFICIALLY MUM'S FASHION ADVISOR!!! whee....

-Thank You , Lord, for different shades of blue. -

childish? /// 9:25 AM

i miss the times when my dad taught me to ride a bicycle
i miss the times when i kept falling down and he helped me up
i miss the times when he looked into my tear-stained face and smiled

i suddenly thought of my dad. really misses him so very much.
how i wish i could turn back time.
HOW I WISH TO BE A LITTLE KID AGAIN...

- Thank You, Lord, for the human brain which can store so many memories. -
