Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

¹ The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

² He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

³ he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

⁴ Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

⁵ You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

⁶ Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD

So I went to sleep really early last night because I had headache, but it only managed to get much much worse.
Imagine Sun Wu Kong with that band around his head being tightened? That's what I felt like.
Anyway, praise be to God, most of the pain has gone away.
But I'm still feeling slightly woozy and nauseous.
SO HERE'S TO HOPING ALL GOES WELL FOR LIT.
and thank you God for saving me from the pits of terrible pain. There was no way I could have taken a paper in the condition I was three hours ago.

I love C. S. Lewis's appraisal of Shakespeare's sonnets the best. Here's part of it: ... from extreme particularity there is a road to highest universality. The love is, in the end, so simply and entirely love that our cadres are thrown away and we cease to ask what kind. However it may have been with Shakespeare in his daily life, the greatest of the sonnets are written from a region in which love abandons all claims and flowers into charity; after that it makes little odds of what the root was like.

I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, God’s building.

Ehehehehehe, how awesome is it that Lon Fuller's The case of the Speluncean Explorers references Les Miserables! This is Commonwealth v. Valjean. Though the case is somewhat obscurely reported, it appears that the defendant was indicted for the larceny of a loaf of bread

I feel perched on a rift between two parallel worlds. That narrow sliver of a portal, so fragile, held open only by the weak power source of a quickly draining car battery.

Somebody pointed out to me today that religion, and I think this applies for every religion, is simply not 'normal' to any secular person. And it's pretty true isn't it. In other news, I want a carebear t-shirt.

Hi! To whoever cares: I'm at the airport now, flying off tonight. If anyone needs to contact me or fan my ego by saying you miss me dearly, you can sms me. I think it's like normal sms-ing... I will be checking my phone once in a while I guess. Also, to my friends, please answer my emails that beg for help, YOU ARE MY ONLY HOPE. k, thanks in advance. Have a good holidays everyone!

Is it sad that this (below) is one of the most romantic passages/endings I feel I've ever read?
In the context of the story of course.

Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett

A faint, cardboardy sound made her open them. The lids were gently lifting on the boxes of stars.

They spilled out and whirled up into the shadows of the cupboard, brilliant against the darkness, a

galaxy in miniature, gently spinning.

Susan watched them for a while, and then said, 'All right, you have my full attention, whoever you are.'

At least, that was what she meant to say. The peculiar stickiness of the nougat caused it to come out as:

'Allite, you ot my fo' a'nen'on, oover ooah.' Damn!

The stars spiralled around her head, and the cupboard's interior darkened into interstellar black.

'If iss is oo, Def o' Raffs-' she began.

'It's me,' said Lobsang.

Tick

Even with nougat, you can have a perfect moment.

Thou should not keep angsty posts written at wee hours in the morning when thy brain is not functioning. Anyway, doing Proof right now is probably one of the best things about HP for me. People speaking up, contributing, creating our own education. Everybody has something intelligent to say (haha). I hope that by the end of it it'll be an amalgamation of contributions from every single person. That to me is what you have a class for.

Seems like the best thing that comes out of BGR education is class bonding. Hurhur, hilarious soundbites: What turns you off? Athena: Fat, smelly, ugly... (I forgot what else but I have it on video!) Kee En (on behalf of jiajun): girls who have more muscles than him! Xina: People who cut their toenails on the bus What qualities do you look for in a partner? Jiajun: She must be smart. Athena about Jamie: Compatible parts -On how hormones or whatever similar to your opposite sex parent attracts you- Noelle: That's how lizard traps work! What music best describes what you're feeling right now? Everybody is thinking: LET ME OUT OF HERE NOW What would the next session have been about? Unwanted Pregnancies.

About AWARE: First of all, I think the entire issue has been blown up unnecessarily by the Straits Times (One more reason for me to despise you ST!). Secondly, any discussion about and opinions with regard to this event in particular should steer clear of speculation of what we DO NOT know or what is clearly 'assumed' by our main source of information, the newspapers. Right then, AWARE as a female organization, has, in its interests a duty to remain secular as an NGO and as a civil organization. By accepting diverse people and not discriminating against the beneficiaries of the organization. Also, the purposes and aims of the organization should be aimed to be applicable to majority if not all the female population. They should promote awareness for issues and aid females in Singapore who are at a disadvantage or under privileged. It should not be an organization that openly pursues an interest or shows support towards any purpose of a religious nature. Similarly, neither should it pursue an interest in an issue that is so sensitively and intricately linked to the religious community in Singapore. By publicly placing the organization in a clear position of support for the gay community, AWARE was not doing itself any favours with regards to maintaining a secular environment and purpose for the organization. (Go read the papers) Some famous guy once pointed out that we laugh at how inaccurate newspapers can be in our area of expertise or where we know better, but when reading about any other topic we can take it as the gospel truth. The point I am trying to make with this is that please! We know better than to believe everything we read. And while public personalities such as Thio Li-Ann or her mother may not have made a good impression on you (for whatever reason), the newspaper making links such as "planned" coup with a "common link", "feminist mentor" may be stretching it too far. I empathize with the new exco's perception in the need for a relook into the direction that the organization was heading towards, but personally I do not agree with the manner in which this change was carried out and the drastic degree of change in such a short period of time. And while some of my peers feel the need to be heard or to support the AWARE cause (whichever side you are on), I do not believe that we have a say in this organization's structure, proceedings or direction. Simply because we are not members of this organization. To try and influence the internal workings of this organization is simply not within our right, neither is it within the rights of the general public or the media. We can only comment about the event as an observer instead of an activist. Finally, I am frankly disappointed in the chain of events that have happened since the 'change' or first elections of the exco. I am disappointed in the manner that this was handled, I am disappointed that this is happening in Singapore. Everything from DBS publicly rebuking a senior member of their management, to the old guards using the press to inflame sensitive issues, to the new exco's inability to take decisive action. It would take too long to analyze the events but simply, that the press is immature enough to add fuel to the fire instead of responsible reporting, that Singaporeans out there are immature enough to send death threats, that both the old guards and new exco, by publicly airing their dirty laundry are making it difficult for themselves to reconcile in the future. Mainly I think I just hate sensationalized news and people falling into the trap of feeling strongly for it.

I have decided that I am in love with the sky. Something which is sorely lacking in Singapore. Everytime I look up at the sky, be it blue, black or grey it takes my breath away.
