Blindfolded
Being blindfolded is not a feeling I like very much. Thanks to my dear friends who wanted to gimme a surprise, they did just that. But later redeemed themselves when they surprised me with a birthday cake. Thanks for the lovely gesture, but no thanks for scaring me that I was going to be saboed. I'm seriously sucha scardy cat! I'm probably the kind that gives people who work in those huanted house theme rides the most thrill. Coz I'll just scream and maybe even cry. Haha who knows. Yah and even faint!
Still feeling so full from all the food, cake and alcohol. *pats my round tummy*

Take Comfort...
Which is more comforting for you...
1. Lying down on the couch, or stretching out on a recliner?
Neither. On the best place on earth, my good old bed :)
2. Going barefoot or wearing soft slippers?
Going bare..footed that is
3. Eating ice cream, or pizza?
I'll go with eating chocolate cheese cake
4. Watching on TV...a classic movie or a reality show?
Reality anytime! *eye widening, heart racing*
5. Wearing: blue jeans or sweat pants?
shorts?
6. A long, soothing bubble bath or a quick, invigorating shower?
Bubble bath, with Mr rubber duckie
7. Furniture: leather, or something more on the fuzzy side?
Wooly or fuzzy kind. I dun like the leather smell...
8. Soft, classical music, or upbeat rock & roll?
Perfect 10 music, but somehow find myself getting a little too old for it! Ha
9. Darkness or light?
Light. I'm secretly afraid of the dark! *dun turn off the lights*
10. Thought-provoking question of the week: You get married, or otherwise begin cohabitating with a significant other. S/he moves into your place, but brings with them the UGLIEST chair you have ever seen! You really don't want this thing in your home, but SO says it is the most comfy chair s/he has ever sat in, and no way will they part with it. Do you: grin and bear it, or scheme to get rid of the montrosity somehow?
Spill coffee, chilli, soup, mustard, cat poo.. anything! and go Whoops, oh look how dirty and messy it looks now! *evil me*

Countdown to my Birthday!
I love birthday, especially when it's my birthday! Yes yes, in another 4 days in case you didn't notice the birthday countdown counter on your right. *wink* Then again my birthday always falls around the exams period, which can be really sianz. The only time exams didn't spoil my birthday mood was when I turned 21 :) This is probably gonna be the last chance my birthday falls duirng the exams period, because I'm going to be graduating in about 1 months time. Yeah how fast.. I'm gonna graduate, get outta sch, get into the working world.
But dun you find that as you get older, birthdays lose it's magical appeal? Not that they remind me of how old I am. Because I do feel young and ahem also still look young! Anyone care to disagree? Birthdays now are nothing more then a cake and candles. Good enough that it doesn't get ruin by irrating pests. Hope this year will be more meaningful :)

Everything I Learned In Life I Learned From the Easter Bunny
* Don't put all of your eggs in one basket
* Walk softly and carry a big carrot
* Everyone needs a friend who is all ears
* There's no such thing as too much candy
* All work and no play can make you a basket case
* A cute little tail attracts a lot of attention
* Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day
* Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits
* Some body parts should be floppy
* Keep your paws off other people's jellybeans
* Good things come in small sugar-coated packages
* The grass is always greener in someone else's basket
* To show your true colors you have to come out of your shell
* The best things in life are still sweet and gooey

Prince of Egypt
I'm not the kind to cry at movies. But Price of Egypt is one of the rare few. Yeah, you're probably going but it' a cartoon. besides the theme song, the whole show never fails to hold me in such awe...
Sitting here, typing this while watching the show really stirs up alot within me. makes me question what was life for Moses really like? Having to know the truth that he's a Hebrew and that he's the one that God has sent to save his people? To go against the hand that feeds him, to foresake the family he grew up with. But the responsibility is upon his shoulders.. Even though filled with doubts and fears, Moses still had to do what God has instructed him. To turn against his 'brother' and demand the freedom of his people, the slaves of Pharaoh.
I'm already so awed by the animation of the plagues and all, the parting of the red sea. What would it be like to live in the days of Moses? This is from the movie, as spoken by Moses to his people who were in opression, "There's is one thing that Pharaoh can't take away and that is your faith. Believe and you will see the wonders of God".
What about you? Do the events and things around you cause you to lose hope? It just seems like there's never any good news in this world, but all that should not rob you of your faith in God. If they do, remember..There can be miracles when you believe in God.

What drive me?
okay let's see, these few days have not been so productive until today. Yeah finally did some decent studies and work. Ever since the exams got postponed, felt really bummed about it. Engine not wramed up enough to go into study mode at full gear. Somebody please MOTIVATE me. But on the hindside, I've been pretty motivated at losing weight. Went jogging yesterday and today. In fact, I ran like 4 rounds today. Which is in no way an easy feat. I think it's something like 5km. *beams with pride* excluding the distance i take to jog to and from the park. Haha
If only I had that much determination for my studies now.. Yeah I will start serious, like oh so serious studying next week. Of course will try to be productive over these few days as well.

*Quarter Life Crisis Alert*
I received a mail from a fellow twenty-something friend of mine and these are some of the extracts:
They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like.
You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.
You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones.
One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life.
You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.
What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We ARE in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.
Do you relate to that as well? But I guess at every point in our life, there's this feeling we'll be in a crisis... But at all times we can be in the BEST times of our lives. Go live it up and enjoy life to the fullest. I personally think I'm in the best times of my life :) *Yeah*

Life is short
After this episode of SARS in Singapore and around the world, it really makes me so so so so so thankful for my health. I know it does sound cliché to say that wealth cannot buy health, but it's in circumstances like these, that you realize how true it is. And not just wealth, but everything that we build up in our lives that we think is so important. Careers, studies, wealth, fame, fortune, all these false idols that we think are so important to get us in high positions, to earn people's admiration, envy and respect. But you know what for a person who's down with SARS now, all these means nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Today as I prayed, I asked God to open my eyes to see beyond this earthly realm and understand what He is trying to teach us through all that is happening. It's so easy to be drawn into the fears, anxiety and panic with the nation as the number of people being affected and dying from SARS going up. But God is really telling us that He is our source of peace and comfort, our tower of refuge and strength on whom we can rely on. It is this tower that I have run to so many times and have always found solace and comfort in. And that nothing else that we build with our hands can secure our future. Only He knows our tomorrow and holds our future. At the end of the day, when it all ends, we bring nothing to this earth and we take nothing along. Sometimes, simple truth is enough to wake me up from my selfish, ungrateful, careless, unforgiving, greedy, indifferent and nonchalant ways..
What do you really want to be remembered for after your death? The wealth you made, the career you built? Nothing leaves a deeper memory than the imprints you leave on hearts and lives. Remember to pay someone a compliment, praise someone,thank someone, forgive someone and spread a little love around.
Do pray along for the war to end soon and that a cure can be found to treat SARS. Salute to all medical staff who are treating and taking care of the patients, who have placed their lives at the forefront in this battle against SARS. Your dedication and commitment to your work is more admirable and may God bless all of you.

School's closed
School's officially closed from today till 13th of April. Nope, there was no reported case of any one from SIM contracting Sars. School insisted it was a precautious measure. But frankly, it doesn't affect me that much coz my study break starts next week anyway. Oh wait, yes it does. Coz my Finance class is postponed and the lecturer promised us tips for the exams..Drats! Well my project deadline is also delayed by 2 days. Just crossing my fingers and hoping the school wouldn't decide to delay the exams. I want to graduate soon.
Meanwhile, I have my project and revision to keep me occupied. It's comforting to know that right now, the situation is improving. Lesser cases of people contracting sars. More or less contained and under controlled.
The signs are so clear, war, worldwide epidemic, worldwide depression and all.... The end times are drawing near. it's scary how things are right now. One thing that really struck me admist all these is how often I have taken people around me for granted. Especially those close to me like my family and even God. It almost seems unimaginable to say that, but it's true. So many times I come to God, only seeking His hands but not His face. But all that has happened, has really brought me to a place where I know I can no longer continue taking all that He has done for granted....
What about you, what have all these taught you?
