向左向右向前看#爱要拐几个弯才来

i think that it's only when i actually sit down and attempt to revise through lecture notes that i realise how much there actually is to be done... and how little i know. and indeed, i've been spending too much time at my computer. so i've decided. from now on, im not studying next to my computer anymore.

anyway i was re-reading The Little Prince (chinese version) when i came across this:

真正重要的东西是看不见的。。。
就像我的花一样。如果你爱上了某个星球上的一朵花，那么，只要在夜晚仰望星空，
就会觉得所有的星星都开出花朵了。。。

你将会在夜晚仰望星空，找寻我的星球。我住的那颗星星太小，所以我无法指出来
给你看，这样反倒好，对你而言，我的星星只是众多星星中的一颗，所以你就会看
著所有的星星，他们都会变成你的朋友。

星星对每个人的意义是不一样的。对旅行的人来说，星星可以指引方向；对有些人
来说，星星只是一些小光点；对专家来说，星星是研究对象；对我遇到的商人来说，
星星是金钱。然而，所有的星星都是沉默的。你的星星将和别人的星星不一样。因
为我会住在这其中的一颗星星上面，在某一颗星星上微笑着，每当夜晚你仰望星空
时，就会像是看到所有的星星都在微笑一般！

haha of course all this will only make sense if you've read the book. but i've decided i like the chinese translation more than the english one. i only wish i knew french, so i could read the original version. but yes, chinese is a more emotional language than english. like you can express so many more things without sounding overly-mushy or overly-cold-and-distant.

today was quite an enlightening day i suppose. i've decided self-pity and angst is a waste of time. everytime i feel bitter about something, all i have to do is remember that Jesus loved me enough to die on that cross. and that's enough. in fact i think it's worth more than anything else in the world -- The fact that He chose the nails.

but hmmms. what the heck am i doing online at 12.13am? when i'm supposed to leave for school in about 6 hours 15mins time? arghhh i need my sleep.

Thankyou Lord for all you've done for me. I just want to commit ~~tomorrow~~ today into Your hands. No matter what challenges there are Lord, I pray that you'll remind me that You are my pillar of strength, my tower of refuge. And it's through Your strength that I'll get through.

nites everyone... or should i say gd morning? haha.
