I'm super tired! I'm sleeping so much less than I did during the A's man. Guess I've been going out too much. But yay, tomorrow's SLEEP DAY!!!!! :D :D


Went for my granddad's big birthday bash on friday night at Four Seasons hotel. Just that no-brainer conversation of the adults got me thinking quite a lot. If you were a parent, would you rather your child be ambitious, maybe fringing on over-ambitious resulting in much unnecessary stress on his/her part, or would you rather your child be one happy-go-lucky kid? It's every parent's wish for their children to accomplish great things, but at the end of the day when goals aren't achieved, high expectations aren't met... Is the pain in watching their children sink into depression not as overpowering as the desire to see them excel? Then again, the grass is always greener on the other side isn't it. Parents always wish their children were as smart, as hardworking, as motivated, as capable as so-and-so's. But well, it doesn't matter. Sufferings are tests, trials are there to mould us to be the best we can be, for Him. Cos God knows best. But how easy I put it, I myself am still struggling with that.


Watched the musical, The Promise, yesterday. It was awesome, talked about the birth of Jesus Christ all the way till the crucifixion and resurrection. The crucifixion scene was really touching, reminding me again and again of God's great love for us, sending His one and only son to die for us. Jesus, who did no wrong, who suffered and died for us, the sinners. The resurrection scene was just... Magnificent. The whole "arising" thing and even the song, Arise, was just so... Wow! Triumphant, that's it! Haha. Yep, it's a really good musical. And cos of the crucifixion, this song kept playing in my head.


Above All - Paul Baloche
Above all powers
Above all things
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began


Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what You're worth


Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all


Desiree brought me on a small tour around NUS after the musical, which was held at the University Cultural Centre. Haha yeah, I can only say that it's BIG. On the way, the button from my phone dropped off! That's not surprising cos it always does. But each time I dropped it, I'd somehow find it back, whether on the busy streets of Ladies' Market in Hong Kong or in the VJC canteen filled with people. This time though, I just couldn't find it anywhere. Sigh. Let's observe a minute of silence for my gone-forever button! .................... Know what? It's a sign that I need to change my phone pronto. And I'm gonna do so tomorrow! :)


Happy birthday mummy! You will never see this, but I love you a lot and super a lot, I know I haven't been anything of a good daughter but... I love you! God bless! :) :)
