much has happened in the past week, some of which have registered a whole lot of strength and willpower. looking back, i am glad to say that i have neither compromised nor lost myself to opinion or pressure.

people may call me silly or plain dumb for not lying just to get myself out of trouble, but the truth is: i would actually feel miserable for doing so. i don't believe in bluffing my way through things just so i can get away, because the emotional and spiritual implications will be far greater.

don't call me 'holy' or 'goody' just because i refuse to be untruthful. the fact is: we all have our personal take on morality, and i find it revolting and blasphemous to 'act good only when it benefits me'. because that simply shows the extent and depth of character one possesses. morality is not selective. let's not be too quick to judge each other aye?

all in all, i do hope things will clear up, and there won't be a repeated incident, because such happenings are negative & exhaustive. then again, the unpredictable does occur, so we'll just wait and see yah?

with regards to a growing dislike for a certain tutor, i would really like to say to all those concerned: do consider the words you are about to speak before you actually say them. as much as you dislike others to talk bad about you, the same goes for everyone else. this tutor has done nothing majorly wrong to warrant dislike & disregard; all the person did was to pass a few straightforward remarks. and if because of that one incident, and it changes your opinion of the tutor, it just shows how much you really meant what you said in the past about the person being nice and everything sweet.

remember your opinion of the person in the past, and compare it to what you feel now. give others a chance. be fair.
please.

as for elections, i just want to say that the teachers' decision on wednesday is pretty much final, and ought to be respected. in mr. seah's words, the year twos are in actual fact deciding who the teachers are going to work with in the future. therefore, on all viable grounds, their opinions should be considered foremost. 'nuff said.

i guess that's pretty much it then.
all the best for tomorrow's parents-teachers meeting.
we all need it. ;)

oh yes, and happy birthday to teck meng!
nice to have known you, may you have many good years ahead! :]

when all else fails, surely i will return to my Source.
the River of living water where love, joy & life abound. :)

My Source

Here is my life Lord Jesus
All I have I give to You
You're my God and my Saviour
You make all things new

My life is on the altar
I give my heart to You
In You I've found my purpose
My reason for living is You

You are my Source and my Salvation
Nothing compares to You
All of my days I long to know You more
Holy Spirit pour down like water
I'm hungry for Your touch
Each breath I take I give my all to You

Your words are life eternal
To whom do I go besides You?
My dreams and my desires
I lay them at Your feet

Jesus I give You all
All that I am is Yours
