"The biggest crime of mine is that i didnt tell you i love you everyday."
whoa. maybe my perspective of bimbos will change... i guess under every bimbo, there's a soft, sentimental and sweet side of her. hahaa :) anyways who said i nvr liked them in the first place? i still like amanda yong what. hhahaha :D
i think i'm a very fortunate girl. God has placed a lot of great pple in my life. in church, my PCG leaders, tiff ang and jesse are just so hilarious and are really good listeners. my xcountry captains, melvin and alisa, are very good leaders. they're not dynamic speakers who can motivate us just before a run and make us fly or anything; but in their quiet way(or so in the image that they portray to me), they motivate me to do well. it's like, my run is accountable to them. ahaha :) did my latest fartlek trg with alisa; wow. it's just such an inspiration to run with her. and then my ogl(that's orientation group leader for you :P so uninformed. haha !) for next yr just called me. yihong is the 'guy counterpart' and xiaohua(forgot her name) is the 'female counterpart'. i only spoke to yihong and hes a really funny person. (yupyup. hahahaha. i'll die if he crosses this blog)i predict xiao hua is hilarious too :)
so yes back to my point. i'm really blessed :) and hungry. gosh i'm super hungrrrry. teo sent me a christmas card ! so sweet. she got me earrings though i dont wear them. 'go get your ears pierced! :)' so ever demanding teo :P i miss those trgs with teo,tricia,hoiyan etc man. i didnt forget joy and wanpin! they're just mia ers. but when they do come for trg, they liven things up so much with their jokes and heck-careness abt him. hahahhaa. oops ;p
aiyo the construction is still going on next to my place! 2 am alr still working... but it's really cooling now :) crap. it's 2. oh no. you dont know that i'm still awake now, at two. fdaklfdsasfals

The man next door
It has been some time since Jack had seen that old man; he had moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. there, in the rush of his busy life, jack had little time to think about the past and often had no time to spend with his wife and son. he was working on his future and nothing could stop him.
overthe phone one day, his mother told him," Mr. Belser died last night. the funeral is on wednesday." memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. " jakc did you hear me?" "oh, sorry, mum. yes i heard you. it's been so long since i thought of him. i'm sorry but i honestly thought he died years ago,' jack said. ' well, he didnt forget you. every time i saw him, he wuold ask how you were doing. he'll reminisce about the manyt days you spent over 'his side of thefence' as he put it ," mum told him." i loved taht old house he lived in." jack said." you know, jack, after yuor father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man's influence in your life ,' Jack's mum said." hes the one who taught me carpentry. i wldnt be in this business if it weren't for him. he spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were impt." jack reflected." Mum, i'll be there for the funeral," jack said.
as busy as he was, he kept to his word and took the next flight to his hometown. Mr Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. he had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.
the night before he had to return home, jack and his mum stopped by to see the old house next door one more time. standing at the doorway, jack paused for a moment. it was like crossing over into another dimension,a leap through space and time.the house was exactly as he rmbed. every step held memories.'every pic, every piece of furniture...' jack stopped suddenly. 'what's wrong jack?' his mum asked. 'the box is gone,' he answered. ' what box?' mum asked. 'there was a small golden box that he kept locked, on top of his desk. i must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. all he'd ever tell me was 'the thing that i value most,' jack said.' it was gone. everything abt the house was exactly how i rmbed it, except for the box.' he figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.' now i'll nvr know what was so valuable to him,' jack mused.' i better get some sleep. i have an early flight home, mum.'
it had been abt 2wks since Mr Belser died. returning home frmo work one day jack discovered a note in his mailbox.' signature required on a package. no one at home. pls stop by the main post office within the next three days,' the note read. early the next day jack retrieved the package. the small box was old and looked like it had been mailed a hundred yrs ago. the handwriting was difficult to read, but the return add caught his attention."Mr. Harold Belser" it read.
jack took the box out to his car and ripped open the package. there inside was the gold box and an envelope. jack's hands shook as he read the note inside. 'upon my death, pls forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. it's the thing i valued most in my life.' a small key was taped to the letter. with his heart racing, and tears filling his eyes, jack carefully unlocked the box. there inside, he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover.
inside he found these words engraved :" jack, thanks for your time! harold belser." 'the thing he valued most..was...my time." jack was stunned for the moment. he held the watch for a few minutes, then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days." why?" janet, his assistant asked." i need some time to spend with my son," he said/" oh , btw janet, thanks for your time!"

have you ever felt so helpless? because what you say or ask is purely out of curiosity but people take so much offence to it.
or if it's not out of curiosity but just pure fooling around, they still get offended.
if not for you, at least for me, i'd feel so helpless and hurt. no matter how many times i apologise and the other party says it is okay, i'd feel so guilty. i'd feel so remorseful...so much self-hatred against myself. then i'd regret what i said. i'd regret that i joked with that person. i'd regret for being so unthoughtful. and i'd think to myself, "why the hell did you say that? why didnt you think before you said it? don't you know how much hurt you're causing to people? you're such a disagree. you're not fit to be in that society. you might as well just leave there and go to an entirely different place where people will not care about it."
sorry. sorry to youknow who you all are. i'm causing so much distruction in other people's lives;esp to mine. you have no idea how i hate myself now. i just nvr learn to think before i speak.

We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves...The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, 'You must not run faster than this, or jump higher than that.' The human spirit is indomitable.
-Sir Roger Bannister
i find the first part really true. i find it really speaks of me. i dont run cos it does me good or cos i like it. i run cos i can't help myself. but regarding the 2nd half...well i'm training for nationals crosscountry next yr so cant really agree =x hahahhaa.
just came back from 8hrs of church event with the 33rd bb . the bb boys (it's so weird. boys' brigade boys ...) are a really funny bunch. hahahaa i think i was really mean cos i kept laughing at them . oh well ;D the rest were laughing too. ahahha it'll be nice to hang out with them again ! the aaron lookalike, the lagger the stufflotsofchipsdownmythroat!sowedontwastefood and the i dont know. the walk super quickly dude.

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors , not knowing what else to do, agree that they had no other resourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island . The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren. After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife . The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island , there was nothing. Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing. Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. He considered the other man unworthyto receive God's blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming , "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?" My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them,' the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything." You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings ." Tell me," the first man asked the voice, "what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?" He prayed that all your prayers be answered." For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us.When Jesus died on the cross he was thinking of you!
Verse 1:
Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom
Or the strong man boast in his strength
Let not the rich man boast in his riches
But let the humble come and give thanks
To the One who made us, the One who saved us
Chorus:
I will boast in the Lord my God
I will boast in the One Who's worthy
I will boast in the Lord my God
I will boast in the One Who's worthy, He's worthy
Verse 2:
Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom
Or the strong man boast in his strength
Let not the rich man boast in his riches
But let the humble come and give thanks
To the One who made us, the One who saved us
Bridge :
I will make my boast in Christ alone
I will make my boast in Christ alone
