ramblings about many issues: don't be surprised if you're lost halfway

just had dinner with my family =)
ate the same thing i had for dinner last night, but if i love it, who cares? hahaha

convo over the food was interesting.
church politics, family ties, and behavioural matters were discussed, but thankfully nothing too heavy that i couldn't ingest my food.
i learnt that my dad survives on one meal a day. dinner. i'm seriously wondering how he goes about doing that. is it true that the older you grow the less you need?

--------------------------------------------

i seriously think i need to learn to actively exercise restraint.
i'm passionate about the things i love, and like for that matter, and i'm telling you, friendships are one thing that i'm quite mad about =)
i ain't kidding, and i thank God for my friends.
but i think i've more or less learnt that friendships need time like everything else, and although some may spark off to great friendships in the shortest time possible, i have understood that one doens't represent all. i may be really excited about getting to know someone much better, thus i'm highly enthusiastic about communication, but i guess if it's not reciprocative in nature, then it turns that person away.

i've learnt this not once, but 1.5 times. haha, if you're wondering, come ask me about it, i should tell you if i know you well enough.

i had enough of my current emotional state, and i'm sick of it! yes i am! i yearn for what i used to have, the peace (Phil 4: 6-7) that i used to have when i was disciplined to study the Word, and to talk to Him everyday. i'm going back to it, and yes, i miss the instantaneity of whether certain issues were worth the mentioning, or whether i had the right to make some right decisions. they often involve making decisions of feelings towards friends, and how i should handle diplomatic issues, but i miss them.

-----------------------------------

enough of play for at least the near future. i need to stomp out my 'life'.
it's time to plunge into the books. the grades are disgusting. O F F.
hmmm.. yeah, and if you're going 'tsk tsk' since i'm the p, i'm telling you, i've went 'tsk tsk' at myself more than you can imagine. that's why i didn't particularly enjoy this weekend that was supposedly set aside for 'relaxation and rejuvenation.
it's ok, cause i've got some nice ups to ease out the downs that the weekend has brought about.
------------------------------------

Holy Week
something i've never really observed, but it would be a new experience this week. i want to go through it =)
let me know if i can pray for you. let me be a soul who can speak to God on your behalf simply because He's happy when we as His children talk to Him. don't deprive yourself of that simple pleasure, and let's enjoy it together if we can find the right time and place to pray together =)

------------------------------------

things to look forward to this week:
1. tues bike practical - 200mins of solid biking, cause i booked two lessons in a row! hahahaha
2. Seow's birthday - a brother i still thank the Lord for very much, although we haven't been speaking.
3. the short days of the school week, esp the friday.
4. the observation of Holy Week, which would include a study of the material i recieved today from church
5. Good Friday Story play down in a church somewhere along upper east coast road. i still can't recall the name of that church, must!
