its holy week. good friday and easter is approaching so soon.
but somehow i feel not quite at ease... many things on my mind.
many questions i have, but still i'll trust. i have to.
for the first time in a long while - SIGH.
i want to be like ethan and just sing twinkle twinkle little star. it doesnt even matter if i miss a word or go offkey.
i dont like growing up. just look at the many people (adults) around us, most of which are 2faced hypocrites, or cowards with no opinion of ur own, or just people floating around with no dreams no ambitions. i dont wish to be any of these but im afraid sometimes i am.
dont quite know what im rambling about. grraah. out.

You made our hearts for Yourself o lord
enlighten us in all that we do...
...our hearts are restless until they rest in You.
Special
what a sweet saturday.
counting kites (numm, tooo, treee, foor, fii, sek, saven..), playing hide&seek (where where!), and talking babyish (ooh coo coo ah ah goo goo).
and the evening was spent whipping up a humble little meal (with a mountain of mash).
a special day spent with the most special people, in the simplest of ways.
i really like that.
and

cashflow game was a waste of time (since we cant get the $100) but we still learnt some lessons:
1. babies are liabilities. hahahha. but of cos in real life, we know they are inevitable and part of the game.
2. some of us cant even get out of the rat race even when we're 65
3. its not easy taking risks! every cent count. especially if we're using the bank's money.
:c
the real rat race will probably begin in a couple of months' time.
how long will it last?
really so much to think about after we're out of school.
it'll no longer be as simple as just spending within the pocketmoney given.
graah.
and guess what, university fees are on the hike.
imagine in 20-25 yrs time....
time to start saving! i will do so next yr.. after saving up my emergency funds of 10k.
k gotta work hard n have 10k in my savings by dec this yr!

Savor.
Our days are full of many things, most of which are common things that we each do every day. We often take for granted the common things in our life because they have become such a natural thread of our day to day life. It is often not until we feel the absence of the common things in our life before we once again appreciate them.
When was the last time that you savored that which you ate? Many days we are shoving food in our mouth in between meetings, phone calls and other activates and not taking the time to enjoy the variety of tastes that cross our pallet. Even when we do have time to sit down and enjoy a meal, we often do not slow down our eating process enough to enjoy the delicate taste of what we are eating. Watch someone who tastes something as simple as peanut butter for the first time and observe the pure joy they derive from the taste that they experience. Move to a different part of the world where you cannot readily get one of your favorite foods and note how when you do get to once again taste that which you have missed, how much you savor that taste, how joyful you feel as your taste buds are caressed and how you savor the smell of this food.
We also often take for granted those in our life whom are closest to us. We go through our days, simply assuming that they will be there again tomorrow. In do so, we often forget to look deeply into their eyes and make a connection, we forget to smile at them or reach out and touch them as they walk past us. We may rush out of the house without letting them know how much we love and appreciate them.
When we are intimate with our lover, we may rush though the act of making love and fail to appreciate and savor the touch, tastes, smells and nuances of each other. The art of making love is that of two people who savor each other, who shut the world out and stops time and become intimately focused, melting into each other with only thoughts of the enjoyment and love of each other.
Many people sleepwalk through their day, missing the glorious taste of water, the wonderful feeling of the sun as it heats your face on a cold winter’s day, the simple act of connecting with others in our life by making sincere eye contact or expressing themselves with kind and loving words.
Being aware of the joy found in all of the common things we do in a day and slowing ourselves down to savor the moments, the tastes, the touch, the contact of each other, the smells, etc will help to make each day of your life more joyful that you can imagine.
Today, as you eat, as you interact with other people, as you cook dinner, make the bed, do your homework, write your presentation, slow down and savor the joy that is found in all of the common things you do.
What joys in your life are you missing, taking for granted? How much are missing by doing so much so you won’t miss anything?
Joy is to found in the simplest things in your life! Make a point today to savor the flavor of life in everything you do!
