"paying it forward"
hmmm time passes by again...things change
and when i try to return to something i've left after a while...
its not easy. have to slowly ease myself back into place.
today i met all my ex-friends that went to US to study... wow....
after not seeing each other for so long.. really appreciated the time that i had just talking to them. really miss them... in so many ways... i guess while we have our differences in many ways, we still have something tt holds us together. people that bring a smile to your face
ShinEik, Shu-En, Yanling, Michele.... wow! its been so long.
all our memories we had together! from primary school, secondary school and jc.
1st thing my guy friend asked me was.. "don't you think the younger girls are more WOW?"
heh... at this age... whats pretty girls to you? u see so many they don't make a difference
i was telling him... (about this good friend that joined Ms Singapore Universe 2 yrs back)
"look.. u can't even get a minute of her time because of all the guys around her"
really.. what can i say? anyway i don't think he understood my point.
golly! whats with looks these days?
like my old friends, we have long gotton past the looks phase. it doens't matter to us anymore.
and you see all the guys flock around my friend like she's a diamond up for grabs. yes.. she's really pretty, i know. but its not like you must get to know a person cos she's pretty.
or.. handsome/shuai for that matter. -its not just aimed at guys-
so that brings us to a close of our superficial world... volume 1 episode 1.
there's not going to be an episode 2.
anyway... yes.. i was happily at the University of Wisconsin booth supporting my brother's uni. i know a few people from his uni and it was fun with them! yupp... and if i went to the US to study, i would most likely go there. i love the trees, the grass, the lakes and all its surroundings.
but back to reality, and i'm staying here in Singapore.
on another note.. my church is conducting its 40 days of purpose. a "purpose driven life" course. heh.. it totally clashes with alpha. SIGH. i don't really know what to say. well support. Was talking to my Dad (an elder of my church) about it. Really. I have learnt, just like him, to see the cycles that repeat themselves in every community.. and well this is just another cycle starting all over again. skepticism? maybe.. but... rem e .. "social cycle theory". its just like that. Anyway, i will still actively support them, and prepare my heart, my mind, and my soul for this course.
=) i pray and hope that it will be effective and powerful. "all hearts resonating as one"
meanwhile... i guess really. i'm not feeling that great. but yet i have a smile hidden deep inside me. God always provides a little cheer to his children, a little hope, a little spark inside them...
that spark comes from the love, from the smile that appears across the face of another.
you take it, and you pass it on... thats "paying it forward"
as we worship you
let all the world come and see
how the mercy we've received from you
can set them free
as we worship you
let all the joy that fills our hearts
bring a hunger and a hope to those
who've strayed so far
