how physically close/intimate can/should you be with a friend of the opposite gender? a hug for special occasion, resting your head or shoulder against him/her when showing a photo on the digicam? a hug on the waist when taking a photo? or... half-a-arm's length when talking, only handshakes for special occasion, pass him/her the digicam to see the photo, just stand straight with no funny stuff when taking photo?

this isn't a topic that i am bothered about but something that i would wondered about at times. so is it subject to how open/outgoing you are? does it affect you to be viewed as blameless or not?

for me, i am more of the latter. it's obvious, isn't it?

*grin* hee.
thanks teddy.
that was enough to last me for the rest of the week.

this is insane. there is a funeral at the void deck of my block. the casket is supposed to leave soon today for burial or cremation. it is a buddhist funeral.. and you would assume there is a lot of "dong dong qiang" but narh, there isn't. instead, they have a mini ge-tai to sing for the dead. what they are saying about life and death is absolutely nonsense. talk about doing charitable deeds to earn credits, the host talked about his own appreciation to the singer for matchmaking a girl to him, they have been singing oldies since noon. and now it's 1330hr.

i take heart that my family are all christians, that we understand in the Lord we find eternal rest and peace. and we sing christian songs and hymns to encourage and comfort the grieving. there is absolute assurance.

I've returned! I didn't update my blog for a month... because there was no chance to do so. Was busy tying up the loose ends for my project, preparing for exams, rehearsing for Easter concert but more so because there was no internet access. And now blogging an entry is a little strange, perhaps also because of my "missing-keys" keyboard.

Today marks the official start of my holidays. Project is completed, exams are taken... polytechnic life has ended. I like to look at it this way. A chapter of my life has ended. I am going to write the next chapter on a fresh new page. Yep, life is just like a book. Everytime when I'm at a new crossroad, I like to re-read the past chapters of the book, think about the past crossoads in my life and I can't help but recall and marvel how the Lord has led me thus far. I think without the Lord in my life, I would not be able to be where I am today. I would not be able to make it at all, especially in my polytechnic life. There were times when I get discouraged and depressed just trying to handle school life but He kept me sane. Most of the times, the semester timetable and modules were planned out so nicely that I could attend church activities and serve Him. He also planted good thoughts and meditation to think about on my bus journeys to school and back home.

Read someone's blog and i agree with what the bloggie said "i know God put me here for a reason.... was it to show me pride, anger and fear? yes. too often we are afraid to see our own weaknesses. was it to show me providence and grace? yes. too often we forget that every little thing is from God. was it because He cared? yes. too often we read and write and fail to feel."

The bloggie continued to praise God...
"this is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." every day is worth rejoicing in. every single day. yes... even the past 1095 days (3 years in poly)."

The Lord has paved a road for me to walk on. I do not doubt about His plan for me. His will and plan is desiderative. He wishes me well and I believe in it. I will not hesitate when I have understood.

3 more days to complete project.
2 more weeks to exams and freedom.
i just can't wait.
i have to keep thanking God to keep me sane.

rented the Passion of Christ from VideoEzy, so that feli & yang can watch. (:
