firstly, congrats Nicole (chee) on your baptism today! bear in mind that "if God is for (you), no one can ever be against (you)" (romans 8:31b). lots of love!

secondly, I conclude from many incidences such as tonight's that I finally understand the true meaning of 马路如虎口. no kidding. finally, after using this phrase in chinese compos and being tested in ting xie in primary school countless times. never cross the road even if the green man's shown. drivers can be very reckless and deem traffic lights pointless. nonetheless yay, I AM VERY VERY VERY VERY HAPPY. PRAISE GOD.

thirdly, this totally speaks to me:
"if grace is an ocean, we're all sinking"
great is your faithfulness oh God
you wrestle with the sinner's restless heart
you lead us by still waters and to mercy
and nothing can keep us apart
so remember Your people
remember Your children
remember Your promise
oh God
your grace is enough, for me

fourthly, life's good and the journey towards making good friends/of walking with the Lord and His people is simply wonderful. cause God is good all the time, His Name's greatly to be praised!
with a truthful heart
Lord I come before thee
open my eyes so I can see
with a grateful heart
Lord I come to receive
Your spirit of humbleness and grace
how could it be, that You would care for me?
how could it be, Your blood was shed for me
how could it be, You've crowned me with
Your grace and glory
Oh my soul, sing praises to the King
You have removed my bondage, my chains
You have removed my burdens and shame
You have removed my sorrows and pain
Oh my soul, sing praises to Your Name

fifthly, I seem to be busier during the holidays than during normal school days. tight schedules, late night chats, time out with great people - things I enjoy very much suck alot outta me physically. but it's all worth it. it better be.

sixthly, I miss mg! cc0809, mgpb, gg, 4G, juniors, peers, teachers. still thankful for all these for shaping me and bringing me thru' ten years of my life (yellow brick road part 1). things wouldn't be the same without mg.

random notes:
PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE. *hintbenhint*
remember, I thought a 59 minute phone call with Claud was madly long 3 weeks back. apparently, I was wrong!
holidays aren't that boring after all. I have awesome friends!
time for some chilling out at starbucks!
2010 comes soon! ie. time to photocopy notes for juniors
