Done with part of the "I am" list that I've been pushing back for a long time now. Between the 101 things going on, tests, IHG, sets I'm sure I could have found time here and there to do them but I didn't. Character isn't something you try to attain like a certificate or try to show the world, it's something you live. What was defining about you today means little if tomorrow you walk another way and throw it away. The "I am" list, chasing people for stuff I needed to compile the Treasure Hunt debrief that should have been submitted months ago... I guess I had let some events and situations overwhelm me, and was just sick of the ways things had been turning out. But it's hightime for a turn around I must bring about and stick to.
Cell was just a time of personal sharing as we are entering the 2nd quarter of the year, going back to our cell vision of being a "closely knitted family transfomed to be Christ like". I guess that's the difficulty when everyone's leading cells and we have our concerns and focus on our cells and segment. I won't deny I miss being part of the NUS cell. But as we shared about our personal lives and one new thing happening in our lives (or at least tried to, I think everyone can agree that a new thing can be quite hard to think of lol), I think of NUS -> NIE. When this first started out it was the fantastic four of Joel, Daryl , Ivan and myself. After our first sem Joel went over to business and we reformed as the three musketeers (remember the names k, it might just be your 20 million dollar question some day!) If I go over to NIE next sem it'll be down to a dynamic duo... Feel quite bad about it, it's like pang seh-ing them. Wtb classes and school activites like back in secondary school and JC, universities are so academic focused it's evil. At least from my lousy biased sample size of so far just, one. All that said I'm most grateful and thankful for the company over the past few days. Might have been short, not much might have been done and my terribad laptop kept going crazy needing a gazillion refreshes, but I appreciate the times. I don't wish to leave Eusoff either, and I wish I could stay on while studying in NIE, but I'm afraid it's just not possible...

So it was that someone was blessed, it brought a smile to her face and I'm glad it did =)
Seems like what I tried to capture of the chorus managed to come through, and yes that is a teardrop in the rain.

Another song plays on as I write, making me think of something else, playing around with ideas, another picture to draw. There's something about graphite that makes it so much more expressive than colour. Maybe it's the raw-ness of it that matches the expression. But this picture will be for a different cause, a different place, a different time. Help me make it come through, once again it requires elements I've never done before, and God give me strength to complete it on that day, I know I'll be needing it...

Mraz is incredibly poetic
See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages, for words
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive
Hey Mr. Curiosity
Is it true what they've been saying about you
Are you killing me?
You took care of the cat already
In a hurry to spell check me
And I'm underlined already in envy green
And pencil red
I should probably youtube him more. Oh and Korean crowds are amazing. Front row is all seats some more.
