ITS A NEW YEAR!

yesterday at the last night of the year 2006 i watched Curse of the Golden Flower, which turned out to be so freakingly tragic i sort of regretted it. despite the rather nice story.

seriously, the set's amazingly spectacular and all, but to end the year off with everyone in a tragic state and the rest dead (in the movie) is so not the way to usher the new year in. :(

gong li never fails to amaze me though, she's so...INTO the character she plays. my mom says that's cos she's like that in person, but i don't think i want to think that way.

so watch it at your own peril (whatever that may be.)
haha

yesterday's sermon was good too...
about how God wants us to stop walking in our past hurts and disappointments and towards our destiny he has for us. that dark nights are God's way of shaping us for our destiny, how God will turn our burdens into bridges, if only we stop struggling by our own resources and ask him. that he wrestles with us sometimes for a deeper intimacy with us, because it is only in brokenness that we realise it is only God who can help us.

i thought the sermon was really apt, on the last day of the year. to let go of 2006 and all its pains and struggles for the coming year, so that we can be victorious in God! :)

looking at the crowded house of my neighbour is a little saddening, that my relatives are all in malaysia so the new year's not really like the new year with all the supposed celebrations. sighh.

and kudos to me ive to rush my homework because apparently ive been slacking pretty much through the holidays, as usual. but nevermind. this habit shall not persist. i hope.

and im really quite serious about the issue with people dying off from the digital world. happening at quite an alarming rate.


SCHOOL'S IN 2 DAYS. or 1 1/2, infact.
I'M EXCITED! except for the fact that ive to finish homework before that. =(

for some reason there's this chi ji gan to the olevel year, like you want to rocket off and pour everything you've got all the way! x)
...or is it just mindy and me? (i think she agrees that sometimes we live in our own worlds)

ANYWAY, i sure hope its not some temporary high thing- which mindy and i are life-long experts in.

MINDYYYY! i miss mindy, jolyn, justina, evelyn...and all the stupid people in my class :D I WANNA HEAR SHIRU CRAP AGAIN. that stupid girl always makes me laugh! (i like people who make me laugh! hinthint) lol, so people, tell more jokes!!

OKAY. this is called digression. gotta go back to my homework, good thing i wrote my new year stuff beforehand. heh.

to end,
forget about what holds you back in 2006 and have a new God-filled year! :)
