I shut my mouth at people who simply love to win arguments for the sake of it.
I keep quiet with they who don't listen.

The Hand That Holds the World
No greater joy
Is there than this
To know for what
We're meant to live
To hold Your hand
To touch Your face
To find ourselves
In loves embrace
I want to stand before the King
Join in the song that heaven sings
I want to hold the hand that holds the world
I want to know the mystery
Reach out and touch the majesty
I want to hold the hand tht holds the world
No greater love
Could be bestowed
That You would name us as your own
Your daughters sing
Your sons rejoice
They gather here before Your throne
You are, You are
The author of creation
We are, the chrildren of your heart
You are, You are,
The light of all the heaven
We rise, to worship all You are

doing the jitter-bug
I'm having hunger pangs every 2-3 hours.
HOWWW!!!!
Leaving for Phuket tmr morning.
Feeling the jitters of being suspended in the wide and deep(!) open sea.
Having a (possible) whale shark go past me.
And manta rays too.
I haven't dived for 2 years.
I better get my buoyancy right to prevent any lion-fish from poking me.
HOW!!!
I is scare-dy cat.
I pray that I don't have a panic attack.
:S
Dear Lord, please don't let any trigger fish or nasty sea creatures from attacking / harming anyone on this trip. AMEN.
Exercising my ear-nose-throat tube now to prevent any possible painful ear traumas from the pressure - that may possibly lead to panic attacks. Whee.
I hope I don't get seasick.

'happy' new year 2009
It's the beginning of yet another year, and this time I feel more like an adult than ever before. My past was seemingly rosy and happy - but in this new year, I know that it's quite a stage show. I've become more aware of new revelations, past histories and that my impressions of people close to me have changed.
I can't understand why some people can be so unforgiving despite knowing and believing that there's a God above. I'm sure they have their reasons, yet sticking vehemently to the negativity and myopic perspective leaves me wondering whether they love wallowing in self-pity, hatred and overall misery. Life on earth is so short - look how fast a year has gone by, is it truly worth it to be so angry and bearing grudges 24/7 for so many years?
I'm glad I've gotten out of the rut that I learnt from you - to be so judgmental and bearing grudges for all the wrong reasons. I know you're feeling hurt, confusion and anger, but isn't it time to learn how to breathe and loosen the yoke on your shoulders? It seems as if pessimism is your key mantra in life. Practically everything that comes your way is dealt negatively and behaving harshly to another human being even though he / she may have only INDIRECTLY offended you. Kinship ties are readily abandoned and severed, and your displeasure is acutely displayed. Why would anyone who has welcomed you with wide spread open arms be so hostilely rejected by you even though their only sin against you is to be related to the one you so detest? Would you please detest me too? Then perhaps I can make some sense of it all. Worst of all, your most deep found hatred is focused on the one who is the most willing to make amends, hold truce and be on the path to getting out of depression, self-doubt and suicidal thoughts - of which you had a big part to play in. Much help has been rendered to you, only for you to throw it all away. It annoys me to no end that you like to win arguments, fair enough if you have good reasons, but your logic is truly 'impeccable'.
I don't know what to do, but being so critical of others and to yourself will only destroy everything and you're already in the process of killing yourself by your own means. I'm only glad that you've decided to hold your peace at last - yet while it's all calm and still on the surface, it's tumultuous and crazy below. I can only pray for God's help. It's only through Him that all things are possible.
