Thoughts

I've been feeling a little out-of-sorts over the last few days... 

And well, frankly, I felt I haven't really been myself at all. Or maybe I was just being part of the "me" which I thought disappeared all those years ago.

Well, whatever it was, I didn't like it at all.

Most of you probably wouldn't know this, but I'm very much a worry-wart. The littlest of things are enough to get me all worked-up most of the time. I tend to dwell too much on things at times, things which, to the normal person, is probably nothing big at all. But then again, with this "worrying-nature" of mine, I start getting thoughts which just blows up the whole issue, and Ta-da! In comes the fears and stress, hand-in-hand, which subsequently resides in my head for a long, long time, without my consent of course.

I guess without my optimistic nature to complement this problem, I'd very much be in a nut-house by now. That's probably putting it a little too far, but well, let's just say I'm really glad that I taught myself to look at the positive side of things, as often as I can of course.

And when all else fails - When that optimistic nature of mine goes into hibernation when I need it the most; when no amount of words or comfort are enough to soothe me; when no amount of sleep or food is enough to make me feel better; when no amount of work is enough to keep me busy and take my mind of that issue I'm worrying about, I've learned how to turn to Him. And more often than not, I always wonder, shouldn't I just go to Him in the first place?

Somehow, doing that takes a lot of remembering for me. I know that shouldn't be the case, but I guess that's because I'm still not really used to doing that yet. Regardless, I've always been able to find that right passage in His word to put my mind at ease. And through prayer, I would always find calm and peace which I previously thought was eluding me. For all this, and for everything else, I thank the Lord for calling me back to Him.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

John 14:24

Actually, I'm not the kind to go around quoting and remembering bible verses. My memory's just not good enough to do that. Heck, sometimes I can't even remember what I said over the phone.

And seriously, I have no idea where this post of mine is headed. I can't really remember the reason why I started writing this in the first place.

Anyway, on another note...

If you ever feel down and in need of some positive support, I might be the right person for you to go to. Not that I can give you good advice or anything, but who knows? With my optimistic nature I can probably give you some OTC (over-the-counter *too...much...finance...*), tailor-made positive thoughts to brighten up your day! (No guarantees though)

And even if it doesn't work, or if my replies are too positive for you, maybe they might be just enough to get you thinking, that the world isn't such a horrible place after all.

Well, at least I hope it will... Hahah!

Oh right! Now I remember what my initial thoughts were starting this post...

I was searching for some peace.. (as corny as it sounds...) 

And I guess I've found it for now ^^

I really need more sleep =.=

Cravings...

I suddenly have this weird craving for Apple Crumble... with Vanilla Ice-cream on top!

>.<

Ahhh... Me want apple crumble now!!!!!

Tiga Hari

Just 3 more days...

Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday Friday

And I know I'm not the only one looking forward to the coming of Friday! XD

Friday the 13th

Ooo... It's Friday the 13th today!

Not that I'm superstitious or anything... 

It's just that... It's only March, and it already is the 2nd Friday the 13th this year! 

And what's even more interesting... is that it's been Friday the 13th for 2 consecutive months in a row! (February also had a Friday the 13th)

Just a few interesting facts about Friday the 13th and the number 13~

1. Fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia as well as friggatriskaidekaphobia. 

Triskaidekaphobia is fear of the number 13. 

(That's one heck of a freaking long phobia name... Try pronouncing it fast... it's a good tongue twister XD) 

2. Many hospitals have no room 13, while some tall buildings skip the 13th floor and some airline terminals omit Gate 13.

(Guess that's normal here as well. People usually have their house numbers altered to 11A instead of sticking with 13)

3. President Franklin D. Roosevelt would not travel on the 13th day of any month and would never host 13 guests at a meal. Napoleon and President Herbert Hoover were also triskaidekaphobic, with an abnormal fear of the number 13.

(Wonder if our Prime Ministers have these kind of superstitions. Lol)

4. Mark Twain once was the 13th guest at a dinner party. A friend warned him not to go. "It was bad luck," Twain later told the friend, "They only had food for 12." 

Superstitious diners in Paris can hire a quatorzieme, or professional 14th guest.

(Wah, I wouldn't mind working as a quatorzieme... sounds like a good thing to be getting paid to get to eat! XD)

Mark Twain is an author by the way, his better known books are "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"

5. The number 13 suffers from its position after 12, according to numerologists who consider the latter to be a complete number - 12 months in a year, 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 labours of Hercules, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles of Jesus, 12 days of Christmas and 12 eggs in a dozen.

(Ooo... interesting XD)

6. Friday 13th is unlucky for some. The risk of hospital admission as a result of a transport accident may be increased as much as 52%. Staying at home is recommended.

(Probably just coincidence? o.O I think people just freak easier on Friday the 13th because of the superstition...)

So... 

Anybody come across any form of bad luck today? Or a black cat perhaps? XD

Brrr

Me is cold.
And me is hungry.

Blogging from the library in college now.
Not that I have much to say...

It's just that, every freaking place in this whole college block seems to have such powerful air-conditioners that one can die of hypothermia if care is not taken to have your shirt sleeve extended beyond your elbow.

I've been in and out of cold classrooms all week long now, and I'm getting quite sick of it actually. (I kinda mean it literally too... I am getting sick =.=)

I know, I know... I don't deny that I'd rather be in a class with air-cond rather than sitting in one which may only have fans or nothing at all, and that I'm extremely privileged compared to some others, but when you're in a classroom which is so cold your fingers turn blue and numb and you can barely even write, that's a clear sign that maybe it's a bit too much.

I wonder how many thousands the electricity bill of the college runs into every month...

Hmm... but then again, who am I to be complaining about petty stuff like that yea?

I should bring a pair of gloves to class the next time round~

"Brr...

I'm cold...

I need a sweater..."

Long weekend

I had a long, long, loooooooong weekend.

It was tiring, but it wasn't all that bad as well... Besides having to wake up early consecutively for 5 days in a row and getting less than 7 hours sleep each night, I guess I did enjoy my weekend. =D

Had a little extra fun on Sunday morning. There was no Sunday School for that week, (and next week too... finally a break from all those kids lol) so after having breakfast I wandered into the youth room, to find that the Grand Prix Racing Track set up by Jon (I think?) for the Sunday School Carnival the day before was still there.

The very elaborate race track. 

Lol.. I loved the score at the football stadium which read Man Utd 7, Inter Milan 0 :p

So anyway, I had a go at it... and felt so much like a small kid again. =D (I miss my old remote control car... it's spoilt though)

And then Jon brought out his black Estima... and well, let's just say it was so big and powerful that the only thing it could do was move in a straight line and cause numerous accidents to the poor small cars we were using.

Proud to say I finished 2 laps. After a very long time that is...XD And another half going the other way... Aiya actually I just suck at it la.. hahah

On another note... Someone called me "Aunty" yesterday =.=

Do I look THAT old?!

Gosh... I think I really am getting old =.=

I need a pair of red heels XD

You know...

They say:

"Ignorance is bliss"

and

"The truth hurts"

I think it's so true...

But somehow or rather, I'd rather know the painful truth, than to be so blissfully ignorant of it.

Say Hello

Say Hello - Rosie Thomas feat. Sufjan Stevens

W-

If I find him

If I just follow

Would he hold me and never let me go

Would he let me borrow his wool winter coat

I don't know, I don't know

M-

If I see her standing there alone

At the train station, three stops from her home

I have half a mind to say what I'm thinking anyway

But I don't know, I don't know

B-

There's an airplane in the sky

With a banner right behind

"Loneliness is just a crime,

look each other in the eye

And say hello-o-o-o-o

and say hello-o-o-o-o"

(spoken)

M- Hey there. How you doing?

W- Hi, my name is Mary.

M- Hi.
