Tomorrow is going to be the toughest day of the exams. Geog and econs.I've always been strong-minded about the way i think and always been stubborn on the things i believe. I've always argued points that i believed in indignantly, but the truth is i'm not always right. The streak of stubbornness never goes away, although its bad for somethings, its good for others. Just like i'll want this stubbornness to never let go of you.
Just forgive me for my impulsiveness and stubbornness at times.
Why now? I'm burning to ask. But i shall trust in that plan of Yours because it hasn't failed me yet.
Is the world a better place without religion?
No matter how you want to argue it in tangible terms, you'll always miss out something. You see the conflicts. You see persecution. But what you'll never "see" unless you are there, is the things which keep people believing and believing and never ever stop hoping. After all, faith is being certain of what we do not see. If we're believing in the intangible, of course we gain intangibly. Love for example is one of those things. Trust. Honesty. Security. Friends. All these more invaluable than all the gold, silver and money.

I remember Pastor Shirley saying on Saturday.
" Its the small things that count."
Today, I've tangibly felt it. The small things aren't very small.
Like the mustard seed small things don't stay small.
Small deeds aren't very small either.
Although it may be a flawed use of the parable, but thank YOU for going the extra mile to think about what i'm going through. Always assuring. Thank God for working through you and putting you in my life.
Thank YOU up there for always being in my life, putting all these wonderful people around me, giving me hope when i'm down, strength when i am weak. For you carried me when i fell.
When i was flipping thru my phone today, I noticed one thing. The people who are behind me despite their own worries, schedules, tests and all are people who share one common thing with me. Or rather we know someone in common. No matter where or when, a simple "jiayou" can make a world of difference.
The surprises that i've seen in this period of time have changed some perspectives of mine. Jon, you've got lots to change.
Jiayou everyone for blocks!
