It's a choice my dear, you choose.

I am not going to let it hinder anymore, and recognise that life is a bed of roses. Life is filled with beauty growing on thorns. Plants grow on manure and seeds are buried in mud.

I choose to grow..I need to grow..

Taller maybe.. :) Ha-ha.

I just attended the EMERGE Talentine audtion and it was an eye-opener. :) From Song Writing Compositions to Group Performances, it showed a different standard from last year's. Ha-ha. Can you imagined that I stayed from 6p.m. to 11p.m. as a mere supporter? Ha-ha. I could not sit in the room for the entire 5 hours session because there were limited space and the performers needed their seats, but what I got to see was good enough for me. =)

I took a cab home after I left the audition, and I saw this tag line, "Smile, it cost you nothing but gives much." I was very surprised that the uncle had this up. Instead of the usual advertisements put up inside the cab, he had different kinds of hand drawn tag lines about smiling. Ha-ha. It brightened up my night!

I realised from this experience that little things like this can also make an impact in someone else's life, so never despise the little that you can do. :)

It is very dangerous for anyone to be so consumed in their own world, and their own thoughts, that they miss out the things that is happening around them. It is scary too, to know everything that is happening, and yet helpless because we know we can't do everything. How to strike a balance and a focus? To know what we ought to know, and only what we ought to know, and at the same time breakthrough into higher levels of the unknown?

(Deutronomy 29:29) He is the only answer. He will show us what we must know and guide us. Balance is when He is placed at the center of your life. A lever cannot be set up with just a plank of wood, it needs something to support its center of gravity. It must be at the center, to strike a balance. Similarly, how can life be balanced with life itself? It needs something to support its center, and He is the only way. The only solution.

Try supporting your life off somebody else's life, it will fail to establish a balance. It is like you trying to set up a lever with 2 planks of wood and expects it to remain balance with zero support. When the termites strike, both wood pieces will be consumed. Ha.

*Teach me, guide me - Your way

我们的故事 - First a You then a me

I received my results today and I cried. I was holding my dad's hand and looked at him with my eyes filled with tears. I scored a GPA of 3.17! Haha. It might not be the kind of score that people will go 'gah-gah' over, but for a 2.11 GPA scorer, it was just amazing! This was a joy that is truely beyond words. Coupled with it, truckloads of gratitude and thanks. I know, it is a miracle.

Thanks to YOU, You, You, you, you, you, you, and you! Haha! So many 'You s' I want to thank. Thank YOU... =)

"It's all in the mind."

You have a brain, so use it. You have a mind, so think. Many a times it is not that we don't want to think or lack the ability to reason. We just fail to see the importance of our decision, and the impact of those choices. Well, when it is not important, many tend to not bother. Ha! However, it is really true that, "The Choices you make Today shapes your Tomorrow." This sentence calls for a serious thought of reconsidering the value you place on your choices.

In the different events, I saw a pattern and that is, "Choices carry consequences." Whether is it good or bad, every choice carrys with them a consequence. Some are short-term whilst some has a long-term effect. For either, you cannot deny the blast they have upon your life.

I know I will not always make the right choices, but I pray that it will always be made best. I am looking to You, holding Your hand...and walking with You. :)
