Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

went with kangwei to recce yesterday morning at kembangan. the route to the beach is quite far from the campsite but still walkable. had lunch thereafter. we took the wrong train while travelling back.

kangwei left for NG while i went to meet zhigang at khatib mrt station. zhigang wanted to set up a plaudarium. we went to pierce area and found some nice mossies and epiphytes growing on the trunk of a rain tree. took some of those and walked further into the forest. collected some more ferns, liverworts, selaginella and other unknown epiphytes. got caught in heavy rain and took shelter under a bridge. felt like army days. being drenched is common during outfields. morale at all time low during those times.

after the rain stopped, we went to an indian restaurant and had our dinner. ordered chicken curry. left for his house to set up the tank. the entire setting up process was completed and zhigang was very satisfied with his creation. went to eat supper. ordered "live" frog porridge. obviously the naming of the dish was critically erroneous. we did not get any hopping frogs in our porridge. =(

i am getting more unaffected by some people. which is good personally.

my office female colleagues commented that i had quite good complexion. when i mention it to my sister, she doesn't agree with them. she said they said that because their complexions are bad. AHH... thanks man.

someday you'll know why i am not the one for you...

how many times do you brush off something and say, "neh, it's all right."

You do that

because you want to run away

because you know that things ain't as bad as what you think

because you are prideful

because you do not know how to handle it

because it is not important

because you are optimistic

sometimes it is one of the reasons or a condensation of a few reasons. whatever the case, everything will be all right, fine, ok, good in the end...see what i mean? brushing away again. it has became an auto-neuroreflex.

you gotta give and receive. don't feel shy to receive if another wants to give.

happy birthday Allan

oh well. i am what i am. love me or hate me.

God loves me very much still.

only when you acknowledge that you are weak will God's strength be revealed to you.

do u know how it feels to be condemned by people? to be discourage by what they say or their actions towards you? but do these things really matters in the end? of course these things hurts and breaks your heart. especially when it comes from people you love. hey, why get yourself into the blues. Jesus loves you! His cup is overflowing with his love and grace! Continue to love 'em.

i know i cannot possibly stay happy all the time on this earth. there are times i will sink. please let the joy be with me lord. i have been doing fine and well generally though facing an obstacle which i deemed suffocating sometimes. i am casting all my anxieties on you my lord.

work has been enjoyable. June is a very nice and caring teacher. She is funny too. we talked crap alot. the rest of the people in the office are really friendly as well. today is already my 4th day at work.

dear Jesus, please protect and bless my family and friends. keep us near you. let us have the desire to allow you to be our shepherd in our lifes. for the lord is my shepherd and i shall not be in want. filled our hearts with your love and joy. amen.

it rained torrentially last evening. and again this morning.

take a look at yourself in the mirror. have u been oblivious to yourself and as a result to others as well.

it transpires once again,

the caudal was tread upon,

awaken is the dormant one,

flee away! the nimblians bellowed,

but foolishness blinded your gaze.

this is what i have been doing for the past few days. swinging from branch to branch, from tree to tree, from forest to forest. relaxing pasttime i must say. occasionally, i have to watch out for some nasty snakes or eagles. but oh heck them. i'll strangle the serpent's necks and break the wings of the eagles. nobody shall touch a strand of fur on me..time to sleep...zzzzz
