In the momentum of things,
it's already week 6 of school
2 weeks later and we are already into half of the semester.
Time for reflection;
Time for me to take stock of how I passed the 1st half;
And time for me to plan how to deal with the 2nd half.
First time I juggled work and studies
Like on such a scale.
Where previously 2 slots of 3 hrs were dedicated to tuition,
Now its 2 days of 9 hrs dedicated to work.
I had difficulty adjusting,
But thankfully, i survived it so far,
And i trust that I have adapted gradually
And am now in a better position to deal with it.
All these cant be possible without the support and help from others.
I would like to thank and show you all my appreciation =)
Even though not all of u will read this,
But i just wanna share how you have touched my life.
Project Group Mates & fellow PHCs:
Unlikely that you will read this, but thanks for accomodating my schedules
And giving me the space to do my work at my own time.
Thanks for not bitching about the weird time slots that I can meet
And thanks for adjusting to my needs.
My colleagues at work:
Thanks for the support given in my pursuit of studies while working.
From just asking about how I am coping, to offering me a lift to school after work,
I am really touched that you care enough to do all these.
Not forgetting my supervisor,
Who upon knowing that I got test the next day,
Allowed me to knock off early to study.
*Of course, i finished my work la!
Friends including yearmateys and the ppl from RC
Thanks for understanding and never blaming me when I can't make it for gatherings.
For also working around my timetable so as to allow me to join u all when I can.
Especially Cat's farewell, thanks so much yearmates for all waiting til 7pm for me.
Both my sisters in LuSh
Wailing, thanks for sharing how it's like to work & study;
Makes me feel so much better to know that it's normal & alright
to experience whatever I am going through.
And of cos for listening and praying with me when I need.
Juliet, thanks for always keeping bread for me
for breakfast on sunday before church
Cos i always oversleep.. and am never in time to get proper food.
Thanks to you both for doting on me
And to you-know-who
Thanks for recognising that i need space now;
And for giving me the space I need.
Thanks for reducing the stress-induced factors,
even to the extent that you have placed what i need before what you want
Thanks for being a part of how I got this peace that I need so badly.
And of course, most important of all,
My mentor and most intimate friend, God
Thank You Abba, for blessing me with the people above;
That in this difficult period of life,
I have support from fellow beings
To hang on and perservere through.
Thank You too, Father
For guiding me through
the many difficult decisions to make
and the many difficult moments to walk through.
You let me know that I am never alone.
That you will never abandon me.
Thank you for this peace,
and this faith I have
That You'll always be near
to those who call on You.
Thank you everyone!

" I understand"?
Does it mean i sympathize with you
Or that I empathize with you?
Alternatively,does understanding imply
that I have once been in a similar situation,
And now can identify with what you feel?
Even then, situations are never identical,
so what makes one qualified to understand another totally?
Honestly, i don't think anyone truly understands me
For even I myself don't understand myself at times.
And it's perfectly acceptable by me
That you cannot understand me entirely.
Deep down, I really hope you can,
But i know its not practical
cos you don't live the life that I lead.
Nonetheless, that said,
I still think you can understand me
In the various difficulties I face.
Some situations I am in now,
You have been in similar ones.
You are then able to understand what i feel,
having gone through something similar.
You are then also able to understand what I need,
Having then that similar desire.
Which being then being down,
Would desire another to bring them down further?
Why then would one subject another to that?
I don't want your pity;
I just hope you can understand
Perhaps not in entirety,
But at least in times of my need

It was a long queue at the stall;
But yet that should not justify my act.
My friend had friends at the head of the queue,
And so we went along.
I felt uncomfortable,
But not ethically firm enough to decline :X
Imagine being one of those who queued
and yet could not get their stuff at the time they should.
I am really sorry
To have contributed to this unethical act =(

The chim chim one that I still need to digest:
"A certain degree of courage,
self denial to a point,
love of work and above all,
believe that happiness is no vague dream,
are the necessary ingredients of happiness",
by George Sand.
The one that sustains me:
"Start each day by affirming peaceful,
contented and happy attitudes
and your days will tend to be
pleasant and successful",
by Norman Vincent Peale
The ultimate altruism belief:
"The more kind and gentle I am,
the more positive energy I bring home,
my job and the world." By Richard Carlson.

Life is full of lots of up and downs
But the distance feels further
When it's headed for the ground
And there's nothing more painful
Then to let your feelings take
You down
It's so hard to know
The way you feel inside
When there's many thoughts
And feelings that you hide
But you might feel better
If you let me walk with you
By your side
Chorus:
And when you need
A shoulder to cry on
When you need
A friend to rely on
When the whole world is gone
You won't be alone
I'll be there
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
I'll be there
I'll be your friend to rely on
When the whole world's gone
You won't be alone 'cause i'll be there
All of the times
When everything is wrong
And your feeling like
There's no use going on
You can't give it up
I'll help you work it out
And carry on
Side by side
With you till the end
I'll always be the one
A shoulder to cry on
To firmly hold your hand
No matter what is said or done
Our love will always continue on
Chorus:
Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on
Everyone needs a friend to rely on
When the whole world's gone, you won't be alone
'cause i'll be there
I'll be your shoulder to cry on
I'll be there
I'll be the one to rely one
When the whole world's gone, you wont be alone
'cause i'll be there
And when the whole world is gone
You'll always have my shoulder to cry
I need to praise God

No, cynthia is not planning to prevent pregnancy.
That said,
I am not planning to get pregnant too.
I just wish that there was some kind of invention
That could prevent cramps and period flow
For people like me.
Something like the one in this article
in The New Paper yesterday
I just wish that i can choose what makes me a woman
In physical terms

Dreams
To be out and open
Independence
To be totally Christ-like
I believe that:
Courage is not an absence of fear
but the willingness to face up to the circumstances in spite of the fear.
