I wonder if I should speak. The world shouldn't be bothered with my trifle problems. After all, once bitten twice shy. I'm sorry but you can never expect me to relate to you the way I did before.

Praise You in This Storm - Casting Crowns
I was sure by now, God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

I honestly feel very scared now.
Went for the NUS open house today with Xavier and his sister. It was really like people mountain people sea (ren shan ren hai). I went for the talks on Law and Medicine. It was quite scary, the admission criteria. Stressed! So good for Xavier, his chances of making it into medicine is really quite high. Argh bugger. hahaha.
Somehow when I see Xavier and Yvonne I feel really jealous cuz I wish I had a big brother too. :( Ohwell. But it was fun hanging out with them. I got to know Yvonne more and she somehow made me feel more stressed. XD But it's okay since I know I'll put in my best again once school reopens. Now's my break. heh. Dammit, NYAA reports not yet done. Boo!
Sigh whatever lar, I don't matter now. I'm more concerned for someone else right now. Wish I could do more to alleviate his suffering but it seems I can't. I'm gonna trust God that He'll pull you through.
Back to reflections for Slovakia. -.-

Updates on the choir concert! (:
I want to grow up faster. Must get over this obsession with you.12 bucks for stall seats and 15 bucks for circle seats. It's at VCH so the sound will be better at the circle seats. Abit expensive but oh well. Keep 8th April free!

Never have I gotten high on water before.
I really enjoyed myself at Milu's house today. Happy birthday to Tim! (:
I'm crap sleepy now. Amazingly I took a shot of expresso today and it was really good. At least I felt it was. heh. Didn't get headache-y from it.
And honestly too much of a good thing is bad. I really don't want to have choir practice though I know we need it so much. Concert so near. Sigh. Okay here's the ADVERT.
CJC CHOIR CONCERT WITH GUEST CHOIRS (ST JOSEPH'S CONVENT and some other school's which I don't remember) ON THE 8TH OF APRIL, TUESDAY, 7.30PM. Please go. :( Still not sure about the ticket price though. Shouldnt be more than 12bucks I hope.
I want to sleep. So badly. Like now.

Before it becomes nothing but a memory, thought I'll blog about it first. haha.
Saturday's drama performance was really great. I enjoyed myself alot, though I must admit last year's was better. Still you did the funniest things to make me smile, perhaps the first in such a long time. I'm really blessed by you, by how you're always there, not tangibly but in spirit.
And really, thank you for holding my hand. It was the most innocent gesture I've ever received. Like you said, BGR stuff often make relationships more... complex, but I'm glad we are the way we are. (:
I'll be visiting the reading room soon I hope. XD

I'm feeling mixed up now.
Happy for the choir seniors. Like woah, the top arts student is from choir! 3 cheers for Andrea. (: and unbelievable how Isaac got 4 As. Totally amazing. So there's hope for science students yet!
I really hope you get through this alright. I'm just here praying for you every single step of the way, hoping you'll see that He does have a plan for you. And yes I do question God why did this happen but though I don't see His hand, I know I can trust His heart. Hope you would too.
I Am Not Yours - Sarah Teasdale
I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love -- put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.
Interesting song to be singing for choir. The lyrics alone gave me goosebumps, what more about the melody. This is an amazing poetry piece.

So today is the day.
Not for me, but for a lot of people whom I treasure. Seeing some of them get the results they want makes me happy, but of course there are some who didn't get what they want. Oh well. Hopefully they'll pull themselves together and work harder for the A levels ahead!
Today marks the end of CTs too. Not really significant since it doesn't make much of a difference. Like I'll stop mugging altogether like I did in the past whenever the exams are over. hahaha. I just know that I have alot to work on for Maths and Chemistry. Surprisingly, Biology was okay. I hope to pass Biology, Chemistry, GP and Econs. Maths is just... gone.
Today is the end of Term 1. Not much sentiments about this one, though so many things have happened, some for the better, some for the worse. Lost friends, gained new ones, lost old habits, garnered new ones. The list goes on. But one thing is for sure. The only constant in this world is not change. That's crap. The only constant is God.
People change. Or at least I'm a proponent of that argument. The more days go by, the more I see the person I've come to know in the mirror changing. Is it only me, or do others stop and wonder: Who is that person in the mirror? like he/she is a foreign entity; we're souls trapped behind a mortal body.
Somehow I'm withdrawing from some, warming up to others. Don't know if this is for better or worse. Sometimes I stop and ponder, would I have done this in the past? haha I don't know. Life's a carousal. Life's a carnival. Life's a crazy merry-go-round.
I pray that my J3 friends getting back their results later will be happy with what they've got. One year more and it'll be my turn. Heh wonder how I'll feel then. For now let's take it one little baby step at a time. Soon, my friend, we'll fly.

I've never felt so thankful for anyone in my life. I'll really do my best not to let you down.
I can't make it on my own, but the weaker I am, the stronger He is! I'll hold onto that promise. (:
