When everyting starts crashing down
When all I know falls to the ground
When darkness comes and I can't see
You're always there to rescue me
When all my strength has turned to fear
When I wonder if You're near
When I dont know how to break free
You're always there to rescue me
"The ancient Greeks discovered an important truth: the Sun plays a very important role in influencing the weather and climate of places." -sec4 physical geog textbook
well you know, kick me, i think i'm greek! you know i darn well could have made that same conclusion!
despite my high level of intellect, i must admit that i don't follow econs lectures because they are just so boring and weird. geog is a laugh. lit is interesting. today we read an extract about a man who stabbed his cat with a stick, and someone asked "how do you know it's a cat? it might have been a ferret." bio is just. bio. it's normal.

when i'm dancing with you tmr doesnt matter
turn that music up till the windows start to shatter
coz you're the only one who can get me on my feet
and i can't even dance(O:
mel!<3
today i finally went jogging with crystal.
it left me with a peaceful feeling; it made things feel more like they used to be, more like i've always thought they should be. i suppose i could call it comfort. like when in the midst of all this rapid change, it's really good to slow down sometimes. much as i like actually RUNNING with crys and her slave driver type of perseverence, it's actually the times when we walk slowy back with our drinks and just talk that make me treasure it even more. typically, we would bump into ms ho, or sometimes talk abt ms ho. well, today, she drove past us! ahha it's like the icing on the cake man. or the cherry on top of the ice cream. though i don't like cherries, i really prefer hot fudge, but that's beside the point.
crys reminded me tt the last time we just strolled around aimlessly like that was during the first week of o's, before i kicked my toe on zai's table and thus couldn't wear a shoe to run in. during tt time, we talked about 2007, about where we'd be, particularly where
i'd be. it seemed to be quite impossible tt i'd actually get into ac. well here i am now, and i suppose i ought to treasure it more.
thank God for crys. she's one of the bestest friends i could ever ask for(O: EVEN THOUGH SHE CONTINUES TO WEAR HER BADGE SO HIGH LIKE HER LIFE DEPENDS UPON IT. i still love her! hahaha. ok. i'm going to be a nerd and read about plate tectonics now. farewell!

Oh Lord You've searched me
You know my way
Even when I fail You
I know You love me
Your holy presence
Surrounding me
In every season
I know You love me
I know You love me
At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There's no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Your glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now
You go before me
You shield my way
Your hand upholds me
I know You love me
...
And when the earth fades
Falls from my eyes
And You stand before me
I know You love me
I know You love me
was just packing my room (finally!) and was clearing up my christmas cards, end of year cards, random letters and photos, and they made me smile(O: man, mg was really the best days of my life. i miss it so much. mrs yap's corny saying, i am forced to admit, is true. "you can take the girl out of mg, but you can't take mg out of the girl."
ming's letter sums up a large portion of it:
"...nobody trumps us in making Mrs Chan want to put a pistol in her mouth. i am pretty sure she will be eternally scarred by the comment you made about her being ugly. it is payback for the visual and psychological damage we have been forced to retain from the ass-on-projector incident. ok that is getting old. i should bring up the ratbag scum thing more frequently instead."
good times, good times.
You are the one, theres no one else
Who lifts me up and gives me water from the well
But theres a hole that seems to drain it all away
And once again Im left in fear and doubt
When
all my strength is crying outSo, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised
To reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rain?
The evil wind, it blows a storm to rock my world
Just when I think Im safe and warm
Im led astray far too easily
Its always hard for me to say I'm wrong
Until I know I cant go onSo, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised
To reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rain?
Lord, you have searched me and know
When I sleep and when I rise
You're familiar with all my ways
Even the darkness will shine
Like the day when you look into my heartSo, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised
To
reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rainLike a flower in the rain?
