I finished this book in the wee morning.

Memorable quotes: 

"But the things that we feel most deeply we ought to learn to be silent about, at least until we have talked them over thoroughly with God." (p.60) 

"Do something for somebody else. No matter who or where you are, there is something you can do, somebody who needs you. Pray that you may be an instrument of God's peace, that where there is loneliness you may bring joy." (p.80) 

"Let no our longing slay the appetite of our living." (p.80) 

"It's no use trying to measure suffering." (p.92) 

"If your goal is purity of heart, be prepared to be thought very odd." (p.130)

I have a love-hate relationship with McD.

When I was in primary 6, I stayed back everyday after class until 6pm. McD was nearby, and the people I used to hang with went there constantly. For everything and anything.

& 7-11. For snacks, and mainly cup mee.

Seriously I think I drank more than 100 cups of McD coke that whole year.... and excluding the frequent free refills? At least 1 refill each time. If only I loathed it, I would have stop myself.

But I didn't. Only until after that year.

One reason I blame for my stunt growth. Other than that, it's a good sacrifice. Now I control my carbonated drinks as possible. Like tonight I'm reminded that I can't stand more than 1 cup...

What is that one unhealthy food/drink that had a side effect on you?

Dear Claire,

If you're reading this now just to recollect back what you wrote..

Please do carry in your heart and  mind that you are exercising(hopefully) to stay fit. Not to become thin. It is unhealthy to constantly be over-conscious about your body weight.

Don't be confused when a few people tell you that you should lost weight, yet some other say that you need to gain weight. Don't be confused. Just love your body please.

& it's okay to crave for KFC, Sushi and Nandos.

Just stay healthy.
& healthy.

the darkest days won't hurt

call it strength
call it pride
ignorance
, anything you like

in the end
everything fades

Sometimes packing is fun.

We rid things we don't need.
We find things that used to define our lives.
Or time.

We find junk.
&
treasures.

Tonight's moon was incredible.
The above picture is zoomed in from the original. No edits besides the zooming.

This picture still does no justice, because if you were to experience the beauty of the moon tonight, you won't sleep.

Given a choice, we would all camp out in open grass, glancing at the sky till our eyes fail us.
With our loved ones all lying with us.

Dream.

Last night's moon.

(shot with mum's canon ixus 115,
zoom to the max if i remembered correctly, :D)

Thoughts on straight edge.
Thoughts on alcohol.

Thoughts on peer pressure.
Thoughts.

I love sitting in the front seat.

No matter with who.

There's so much laughter. If there's music, singing or making fun to it. If there's not, just conversations and cracks of endless jokes.

This evening was amazing.
I got to witness a glimpse of sunset in the most unexpected, breathtaking place.
& dinner. Nandos for life!!! When I earn my own money next time, I'm stoked to go there once a month!

Gasp.

not a u-turn sign, but its vagueness as in being a "half u-turn" is equivalent to the vagueness of this post

Nights like this I feel like I'm steering through a fairly unfamiliar road.

Everything's vague.

They say don't live your life pleasing others. But it can be seen as loving them because we're doing things to make those people happy. Or because we want to be accepted by them, simply because we accept them, hence we love them enough to want to do everything to make them feel comfortable about us. Even if it means risking our values? Losing ourselves?

Sacrifice versus obedience. Which is right? The saying goes 'Obedience is always better than sacrifice', but why do some people feel that sacrifices are more meaningful? Opinions please.

U-turns in life. Worth it or not.
