gave me a lot of advice n shared with me abt her church ministry work. i am
so proud 2 have her as a da jie jie to alwz be dere 2 give me tons of advice
n encouragement. at church, skol or home, i am alwz de da jie but it just feels
so great when theres someone else 2 be doing tat role for me!! i was so excited
hearing abt the work shes doing in church..how committed she is n teh things
tat she is planning for the Lord!

hmmm.. had a realli bad time in mac lab just now. shall nt elaborate on it.
but tanks faith, ru, phil and debby for helping!
realli appreciate lots! sorrie 2 monica 4 keeping u waiting..

well, i kinda been hearing some bad stuff abt things happening 2 different pple.
n i kinda feel sad for them.. in fact, i feel like crying now. i dunno why. its just tat
i wish life could be easier at times, less tears & more joy. but the world's full of sin
so i guess it doesn;t happen in tat way.

everyone has a sad story to tell. at tat pt, it alwz seems hard 2 get out of it. but
trust me, when its all over n the sky's clear.. u would reallli be glad tat u had left
all d sad things behind. i have experienced d days of crying nitez after nitez...so i
know how u guys feel...

2 all the buddies out dere who r facing pain n sorrow, i just wanna let u know tat
i will pray for ya if i noe your story.even if i am nt dere 2 share it with ya..
i am sorrie tat i have been impersonal at times..
i am still learning i guess. but if u want a hearing ear, i can b dere for ya too...

i guess i shld stop distancing away n be near to the hearts of pple who hurt n grow thru
pain. i am gonna listen up. realli.

i cried. i wept. i drank bubble tea. i wanted 2 scream at the top of my voice. but i din.

i dug out my bible to read.

God said," My grace is sufficient for you, 4 my power is made perfect in weakness. " 2 corinthians 12

i wept again. then a familiar voice called me. it was esther yeo! long time no see siahz..wow her hair so long liaoz..

after chatting a while to her, i flipped back 2 my daily bread. wait a min, why was i reading jan 20 entry?

someone complained of my blog lacking emotions.

he said "you dun even write about how u feel, u just go on and on abt what you did the whole day.
do u expect yourself to be reading this after many years later, just to remind yourself what you did on this day?"

i am like: who cares?

i think we have enuff of report-writing, biz reports, journalism,
not 2 mention per comm reflective journals!(gulpz..) in cmm.

blog is more for : crap and ramblings of carmen?

ha.. wadever.. okayz lahz, at least there's slight tinge of heck-care attitude here in this entry.

maybe for those who are reading my blog, is dere anything u wanna know?? maybe i would write abt it..
