It's been a long time hasn't it?

Sigh in the space of one (or two?) weeks, my complexion has deteriorated to a levels condition. :( Sucks lah it took me forever like 1 or 2 years to completely get rid of almost all the marks and now it's come back all over?

I'll be very very glad once first week of november ends. Very very glad.

Can't wait to go on a holiday to anywhere..genting, sunway lagoon, anywhere! Anywhere with roller coasters and exciting rides that is heh.

Anyway, a photolog of elliot in his first month :)

what big (and pretty) eyes you have!

cherubic cuteness; tell me if your heart hasnt melted already...

Nathan preparing himself for future fatherhood :p

Elliot being so strong he can already raise himself up...and at barely one mth old!

Anyway for the past week my sis was down with hand foot mouth so elliot had to come stay with us. And he's gone back home since saturday. And i miss him already sigh. But i guess cheche missed him a thousand times more than us during this past week. (:

I don't know which i would have suffered less in, deciphering irish poetry or struggling to understand virginia woolf. Sigh, at any rate, i hope this module won't pull down my cap. :( So much for following interest, and, so much for wanting to broaden my biz sense (and spending so much money on it and trying to be oil between two creaky machine parts in the process).

God needn't let our lives be smooth anyhow, He doesn't have to does He. We pray for strength and patience, all the more He gives us opportunities to be strong and patient. (so, like dunno-who said, be careful what you pray for!) So i'll come out of this sem stronger, more efficient and more well read than i would have been otherwise. Meantime, back to trying to grasp the world of modernism and postmodernism, and hopefully in time for thursday's test so i don't write like an idiot!

If joy was knowing that God will always be here for me even when i do wrong and am wrong, it will border between the fine line of nonchalence and gratefulness if done excessively won't it. But that is the joy of God's grace. He forgives 70 times 7.
If joy was happiness on a permanent basis whereas happiness was just, well, happiness on a pure temporal basis, what is permanent and what is temporal anyway?
If joy was to focus your life on things that have eternal value, knowing that even when you die these things will still be around (are children considered things too? haha), i sure could do with more joy in my life then. (: I do want the heeheeharhar kind of happiness too, I want a good career that keeps me alive, a good marriage, with kids and hubby i love and who love me, but at the end of it, what would really matter the most is knowing i've spent the whole of my life with eternity in mind. And what that entails...will i still be able to sing 'Jesus i believe in You and i would go to the ends of the earth for You' and mean it truly, genuinely, even when things go wrong for me? When my home is stripped from me? When people i love disappear or abandon me? When i have to sacrifice arm limb body heart spirit to save somebody?

No one can serve two masters. I cannot serve two masters.

Two little people who give me joy now: elliot, who already is beginning to flaunt a prominently fine straight nose (yay no tan family button nose!), very very pretty double eyelids and long lanky limbs, and anna who already has excellent fashion dress sense a million times better than her auntie eunice here (:, and who has already learnt to say 'pleaseeee' so adorably no one can refuse her anything.

Sigh first time i'd to give up my entire week break last week just to meet deadlines :( No time to even catch up on the non-existing pile of readings! Non existing because i haven't even printed out alot of them ahah.

That aside, my happy indicator went up a little just now when i bought a mustard yellow teeshirt just now from school bazaar at forum. :) Even though i went back on my principle that i must only buy clothes suitable for work from now on. I want more yellow tops! Yellow cheers you up on a blue day so yellow yellow mustard yellow please come in more pretty and affordable forms so that i can buy you!

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Something stinks
It must be you!

Yay a bowl date with nathan in a few minutes! I'm so stressed up i just wanna hurl some balls down the lane ahaha. And retail therapy next monday with eli! Which means i better read those 3 lit books for test finish before then.
