God must have known there would be times
We'd need a word of cheer
Someone to praise a triumph
Or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share
The joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate
The happiness life brings.
I think he knew our troubled hearts
Would sometimes throb with pain
At trials and misfortunes
Or some goals we can't attain.
He knew we'd need the comfort
Of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage
To make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship
Unselfish...lasting...true,
And so God answered the heart's great need
With CHERISHED FRIENDS....like you..

sometimes.. it is painful thought to think of what would become of the good friends that you have now in maybe 20years time. would they still be there to be your wing man?? or would we be worlds apart?? would we forget one another in time to come?? if that's the case, whats the meaning of friends forever then? how would you know.. if the person next to you genuinely treasures you as a friend.. yes, they may use words to tell you that they wanna keep the friendship.. but their actions speak otherwise.. how can we learn to keep our friendship with the people around us? i think its all about communication.. interaction.. so try hard to keep your friendship with the people ard you ..

we just finished the ACS International Orientation camp not too long ago. hehe.. it was really fun.. well.. at least it helped me keep myself occupied and keep me from thinking about other depressing stuff.. =)
well, was reflecting about how my year went in 2004... it was quite an emotional one for me. many ups and downs.. but one thing for sure.. what 2004 has helped me in is my relationship with God.. i guess. with so many things happening.. despite all the depressing moments.. God has never failed to be there for me.. i guess.. the lesson i learnt in 2004 is.. to always trust the Lord. i admit.. i tried to gain control over my relationship with certain people hoping that things can work out.. it has definitely affected my self confidence.. and my spritual well being in a negative way. i guess.. i tried to go against His will.. or maybe.. rushed into stuff that maybe i was even ready for.. or maybe it just wasn't the right time. and as for my new year's resolution.. i believe that would be to trust the Lord more and to always keep in mind that everything is planned. =)
Love....
ever wondered how one falls in love before? well, i have. haha.. some people fall in love.. because they find each other cute... others spend more time with one another and feel as though the other party compliments you.. others.. just simply pretend to fall in love with the other person because the other person can satisfy your needs.. some.. hha.. which is the super cliche one is the classic case of love at first sight...
so what is the true meaning of love or falling in love?
i still stand by my conviction that love is sth self sacrificial.. sth hopeful and sth thats filled with joy.. some may say im idealistic.. but its not a crime to be slightly idealistic right?? God gave us all the same ability to love.. why is it that some people are just so cynical about the whole notion of love? i think we should all just allow this special gift from God to blossom. be it to your family or friends. there's no limit to what love can do to an individual.. love can lead to one's happiness.. it can help to bring sunshine into someone else's life.. it helps us develop a deeper friendship with the people ard.. and best of all.. by allowing us to develop love for one another.. it can help us to understand God's love for us better too.
personally.. i treat love as a gift from God.. something that is sacred and precious. its sth that can be torn apart easily.. but also sth that can grow as well.. to all my brothers and sisters in Christ.. learn to use this gift wisely.. no matter how much pain sometimes love can bring to an individual.. always remember that it is a gift.. a precious gift from Him. and that we should honour Him by blessing other people with our love..
signing out for now...
