thinking back.

and tho this may come a few months too early..
 
last friday, while doing my hair,
the lady asked me how old i was,
and confidently and honestly answered,
"18!"
until 20 min later when i sheepishly realised my mistake.

last sunday,
i was talking to my church kids about being one body in Christ.
i believe in going with the flow, and somehow the topic of the war in Iraq came about.
when i asked my kids if they remembered what happened,
they retaliated so fast and so loud,
"why should we know? we weren't even born yet!"

i am quickly approaching two decades of my life,
and not until recently did i really start to appreciate a huge bit of what has happened in my life.
ive so often looked at many a situation that has gone by with pessimism and disregard,
but only on hindsight do i realise how much each has helped me grow in a different and positive way.
 
from the top of my head ill list the top 5:
 
5. patience.
4. whats the opposite of being a gullible gully?
3. the ability to adapt accordgly to situations. caméléon
2. resilience and a thicker skin. 
 
1. common sense. more than what people realise, more than i dare to admit for fear of unnecessary confrontation. but still, yes plenty of it.
 
i dont exactly embrace the idea of growing older,
but im ready to see more of what i can do.
 
bring it on.

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happy-ness

only because the movie was good,
and the original person who said it was Malcom X.
damned malcom x spoilt 3 days++ of my life, but it's okay.

temporary liberation. and yes, make it realllll short.
come next week itll be an influx of camps, camp plannings, retreat, camp plannings, camps, module camp planning..
doesnt matter, ive had a pretty good end-of-exam day so far.

i suppose at the end of the pinch, that pinch on the wallet was nothing compared to the company.
the boys were obviously wayyyy happier than i on the prospect of eating and watching thor and going to uss.
speaking of thor..
i dont understand how people can be so trusting, falling in love just like that.
i love marvel comics :D
 
one shopping week to go perhaps,
running shoes, flats, slippers, shorts, skirts, whatelse?
i want that hat ]]]]:
craving for ikea meatballs, but about to satisfy that craving in a few days.
 
hooray-hooray its a holi-holi-day.
HOLI-HOLIDAY!
crazy girl.

i guess this is the first time i ever write in lj about teaching catechism.
or just teaching anywhere, period.

i love what im doing because it provides such fulfillment.
its great to be able to interact with the kids, the parents, the teachers,
but at the end of the day,
the realisation hits that what you think you may have been doing right all along,
you havent actually done anything.
which, technically, is even worse than having taught something but have them get it wrong, because at least then you know theyre listening.

it hurts that thru thinking that it has always been for the kids-
to work with them,
to help them grow,
to make them appreciate God so much better;
it turns out upon contemplation, that it really is still all about me.
utterly pissed that i cant seem to break out of that SELF.
self-ishness, self-worrying, self-caring.
i know why im like that,
but i really wish i wouldnt be.
cos then itd really help the kids more,
no wait, scratch that, help myself more,
in the hopes that i become a better person.
and its only after a whole 936 cycles of me the outside party gets involved in my life.

i dont understand how i can be angry simply because they don't behave,
but fail to dig out the rationale why.
what does it mean to someone who knows absolutely nothing about God,
but being forced by his parents to come for Sunday class in the hope that we teachers work some miraculous miracle and provide the family support he needs to build up the faith and knowledge.

as a teacher,
i have failed disgustingly.

so sad,
i wonder what the kids would think if they actually knew who was really teaching them.
meh.

i think im rambling because of man u and exams and consultations and my hands are really itching for mahjong and i cant wait for easter.

the skys gettin darker and the rain gettin heavier.
kinda wish that i could stand and be drenched in it,
it would disguise the tears as one of their own drops,
and no one but the earth would know my lie.
they appear the same anyway.
wet, heavy, sometimes angry, glistening.

ShiverMeTimbers.


Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you dont really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled King composing Hallelujah.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya
But I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold, and it's a broken Hallelujah.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above,
but all I've ever learnt from Love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya.
But it's not a cry that you hear at night,
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah.
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
