for some reason i woke up this morning with the words
'in the economy of mercy .. i am a poor and begging man
the currency of grace is where my song begins'
anyhow, i really like what it says about our lives.
ive been reading those short chapters at the back of the bible
- they really put things into context, most of the situations we'd encounter in our daily
lives even in this time which is helpful since it's so relevant..
on James at the moment.. its alot of reflection on the kind of person you
are and i guess every imperfection i see in myself brings shame to me when i read
who im supposed to be.. and realize i'm so far off.sometimes i see ugly things
in me that i cant suppress..its a struggle to be christian on the inside and on the
outside. but i trust that in my life God is constantly moulding me into a work
of his creation.
and i shall try to be worthy of that.
not forgetting that.. in the economy of mercy..i was bought with grace.

the economy of mercy
There’s just two ways to lose yourself in this life
And neither way is safe
In my dreams I see visions of the future
But today we have today
And where will I find You?
In the economy of mercy
I am poor and begging man
In the currency of grace
Is where my songs begins
In the colors of Your goodness
In the scars that mark Your skin
In the currency of grace
Is where my song begins
These carbon shells
These fragile dusty frames
House canvases of souls
We are bruised and broken masterpieces
But we did not paint ourselves
And where will I find You?
Where was I when the world was made?
Where was I?
I’m lost without You here
Yes, I’m lost without You near me
I’m lost without You here
You knew my name when the world was made

it's been quite awhile since i posted.. so long that i've forgotten the satisfaction of posting. i can't begin to recount my past few days because it's been a blur that's rushed past without leaving a trace. i've been so tired that i sat in class and blanked out without even realizing it, only to come back when someone asked me a question and i had completely no clue what it was about. beginning to feel rather run down and in need of some love.. hence the recent m&m consumption :P
i miss u guys in singapore! there weren't many problems that i couldn't escape with a little retail therapy at orchard road and some sticky photos and cheap movies with giant lido popcorn buckets of sweet and salty (God, i am so sweet popcorn deprived). - i haven't been shopping since .. term started. and it's eating away at me.. believe me, i've had this gaping chasm that is yet to be filled. i keep telling myself i can't do year 12 over again, but it's so hard, honest.. i've never had to be so strict with myself since well.. never.
its my first friday night off since term started too. such a strange feeling that i'm at a loss of what to do, only that i know i wanna watch fobby series for a ridiculous amount of time curled up with a soft toy under a blanket. or even just go to sleep for a long, long time. or go shopping for nothing in particular, or watch a movie and not once think about what else i have to do. or go through a day without that nagging weight on my shoulders of what's left to be done. or listen to music and stretch out and feel every muscle in my body relax. or have the freedom to do whatever the heck i feel like doing and damn well enjoy it.
is it just me, or do i sound really really run down..?
or it could be the fact that i'm pmsing major, and it feels like my uterus is falling.
it really really helped today to receive a letter from my maid, whom i haven't seen in more than 2 years, who barely speaks english and writes like a kinder child.. but made the effort to send a letter all the way here. it touched my heart to see that she'd remembered us as the kids she'd have to pick up from school and cook and clean and care for. and it was even nicer to get an email from yan, cos once in awhile i go through bouts of insecurity about who i'm still even friends with in singapore.
so even though i've had a draining week and i feel like i've been tumbled in a washing machine, it's all these little things that make it better, knowing that people care.
with that, i declare tonight chick-flick me night. i'm going to watch as many chick flicks as i feel like, give my hormonal emotions full run and just take a break. oh, i also need to put up some photos but that can wait till i get them.

to sherwin:
aww kiddo.. i saw ur post. =( *pat pat* everyone goes through periods of time like that in life where we all grapple with heinous insecurity and the feeling of being frighteningly alone - like being around so many people but unable to truly connect with them. but it's times like these that let us think about situations and the way things are, and even contemplate the role we play in our relationships with other people, how much effort u need to put in it, and so on. perhaps i don't know the context you wrote that post in. but if things around you are changing, should you change to keep up? it's a challenge you have to pose yourself to see if you can manage to while staying true to yourself.. it's moral integrity sher. i know i've said it before but the person you are is honestly one of the most unique characters i've ever known, and that being said, i do know alot of people who are cut out of the same mould - and it gets tiring being around people you can categorize mentally. so......... why change the way you are? you've always been sarcastic, highly apathetic with a healthy sense of sadism and cynicism.
and guess what.. i like it :)
when you're in a relationship, it's natural to be so swept away that your world becomes the other person. and especially for girls, it's nice to think that there's a guy there who's loving you and supporting you, and basically being your pillar.. and they tend to forget that the other pillars that have been there for so long are beginning to feel neglected at the shift of weight. but you ought to know that no matter what happens, even if they're distracted or completely caught up, they treasure the friendship every bit as much as you do (trust me, girls are sentimental. everything means something to them). just be patient with them because there will come a time when the gloss of a new relationship has faded and they settle back into a balance between friends and other half.
or you could always find yourself another bunkmate of han + erics to hook up with. :P
jk sherwin dear.
i just wanted to let u know that if u ever do need anyone to rant to, i will be available to listen to ur rants.. to no end -_-'' hopefully you were smart enough to highlight all this and read it.. or i gotta say.. the light upstairs looks like it's dimming.BOO! I'M BORED
