rufus wainwright is an amazing singer. i first heard of him when i discovered his cover of hallelujah in shrek. and then i realized he did a cover of across the universe which they aired at the end of flashforward on monday.

sigh. if i'm truly over and okay with everything, why do emo songs still hit me so hard? hiding under my covers and listening to emo songs last night was a bad idea. i should revamp my itunes collection. and also, i should start eating proper meals and stop surviving on cadbury and toblerone.

oh last night's crab dinner was fantastic though.

ARGH i am officially stressed. everyone is i think. but okay. this is what happens when i get stressed. my blog posts become super rubbishy. and incoherent.

it's supposed to get better with time.

ARGH okay back to studying. :( i am reaching saturation point.

okay this is how much i've lost touch with the people around me.
i sent a e-mail to my sister's japanese handphone and was wondering why she hadn't replied after 2 hours only to remember she's back in singapore for her ROM thing :/ i haven't spoken to her in weeks. :(
(with the exception of crabbing trip 2, which happened to be quite a success anyway), i have been having no life. either holing myself up at home in my room, or holing up in school CBL classrooms and drawing out mechs on the whiteboard (wx's genius idea haha)... and i don't touch my phone at all unless people call or msg me first.

how can it be so paradoxical? i want more time to study, but i want the next 2 weeks to just be over and done with. oh sigh.

study break over. time to get back to studying.

today's worship session in church was particularly tearful for a few reasons. The main one being that for months I've been praying for a renewal of faith (my own in particular), and for a change in heart (one that beats, breaks, and feels for Christ). and today, i felt it. it was something that i couldn't contain; something that made me shed tears, and made me sing for joy. with the sudden realization and re-capturing the lesson of just how amazing that grace truly is. and of course, it was a really sentimental sermon by Pastor John, who's officially stepping down after today. It was his sermons that kept me coming back to this church, and I'm really going to miss having him preach every sunday. I think quite a few people were teary-eyed as well.

it's amazing just how quickly the year has flown by. it lasted forever, but ended too soon. it's a funny feeling. but in the mean time, i'm still surviving. (: study study study!

Most of our life is a series of images. They pass us by like towns on the highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens. And we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever.
