blurness continues...
today, i wasted a whole lot of petrol.. just becoz of my blurness... was suppose to meet crystal and a few other ppl at her place for a meeting about orientation... drove down the freeway, realizing tat i passed the manning road junction without turning into it... ended up making a big round, taking leech highway to curtin... ARGH!!
to make things worse, went home after the meeting and forgot to zip my pants after going to the toilet... even went to dewsons to buy some stuffz... didn't realise until someone told me... it's been years since something like tat happened... embarrassed?? not really... more of being frustrated i would say...
when will this blurness stop???????? coz i can't take it anymore...

因为玫瑰的美丽
因为玫瑰的美丽,让我停顿了忙乱的脚步
静静地,呆呆地欣赏它的美
沉默在我和它的世界里
因为玫瑰的美丽,让我往前跨了步
触摸着柔软的花瓣,嗅了嗅散发着的芳香
深深地被吸引了
因为玫瑰的美丽,让我想细心地把它摘下
天天守护着它,好好地给它浇水
永远地留在身边
因为玫瑰的美丽,让曾经被刺伤的我
愿意地再次坠入花海里,承受被割伤的危机
再痛的伤,值得的... 因为玫瑰的美丽

overwhelming blurness...
can't believe how blur i can be... been very blur for the past few days, absolutely no idea wat have gotten into me... drove down to Melville primary school this morning for the book selling job, ended up locking all my keys inside... Argh!!!! how frustrating it can be... to be stuck in the middle of no where...
called 6 person living or working around murdoch with only 1 of them picking up the call... stranded... but with the help of the primary school's headmaster, we managed to break into the car with a plastic strap... had a good talk with him while both of us were tryin' to figure out how to unlock the car, quite a funny guy to be the headmaster i'd say... he said, "i saw this once on tv, let's hope it works..." and it did work... saved by a headmaster who watches a lot of tv...
no more blurness i hope... wouldn't want to spill anymore sugar or chilli flakes during my shift later... sigh...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
...........................
one of the worst days at work... blurness and tiredness, not to mention the crazy weather...
spilled the sugar... spilled the chilli flakes as well... the boss was like "wat's wrong with u today, jon??" sigh... but lucky didn't really get a scolding...
another week gone... gonna be waking up at 6 tml... travelling down albany highway to Kenwick Primary shchool, selling books... wonder how much's the pay... better get some sleep...

Samurai...
near the ending of "the last samurai"... the emperor asked nathan(tom cruise)
emperor: tell me how he died...
nathan: i'll tell u how he lived...
that, to me.. is a warrior.. to have lived a life of glory.. and to have died in glory..
it just insprired me to look at how Jesus lived His life.. with compassion and love for His people.. and yes, to chose to be crucified for us...
tell me how He died??
i'll tell u how He lived...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
can't believe it..!!

UPSIDE-DOWN TICKET
yes, i got a fine just becoz the ticket was upside-down.. Arghh!!.. nvm.. lesson learnt i guess..

Planet Shakers Conference (day 2)
it's been so long, so long.. tat this passion within had been stirred up.. so long have i yearn for it.. and all tat i realize, is tat it's always a choice.. freewill to choose, whether to let it burn or let it die down..
passion.. passion..
standing among the big crowd, feeling so small.. yet knowing tat my God knows me..
and there he stood, bout 15metres away - Henry Seeley.. looking at him as he spoke so passionately while the crowds respond..
a good start for a busy year ahead.. recharged and pumped up.. with a vision of the finishing line, tat one day i'll cross it.. i will cross it.. i'm not gonna stand there and do nothing, and let somebody else replace me to finish wat's assigned to me..
can you fell wat's inside of me??
