im almost nineteen! haha it seemed like just yesterday that i was still queueing up to buy 50cents meepok in the sc school canteen and picking saga seeds from behind the old school in emerald hill.

haha i like looking at photos. cos it reminds me of the various events/ people i've met in my life and im reminded of how each one has made a very special impact on me. alot of people tell me im really sheltered and all and i completely agree. haha but im thankful for that! i dont think im ready yet to face the real world in all its strangeness but im gonna have to sooner or later so i guess its just learning to rest in His strength (:

i read proverbs19:11 yesterday "the discretion of a man makes him slow to anger, and his glory is to overlook a transgression."

and i think. that thought is extremely profound, WAYYYYY beyond human wisdom. truth and wisdom that could come only from God. haha then im reminded of isaiah55:8-9

"for My thoughts are not your thoughts, not are your ways My ways," says the Lord. "for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts."

haha and im reminded to learn to be patient. haha as usual, everytime i reflect on myself i realise how farfarfar i am from being a proverbs31 and a 1peter3:4 woman.

"but rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God." -1peter3:4

everytime i read this verse i always think of teacher chiew yen! she is like. the epitome of what it means to seek God and have all the qualities of a godly woman. haha and im like. noisy and unglam and stuff aiyo. haha! auntie told us during dinner on wed that t chiew once told her that if anyone picked up a 'love letter' she wrote to t chung they could read it like it was a devotional. haha i thought that was REALLY funny and it just shows the extent to which they've both chosen to put God at the centre of their lives and their relationship.

anw. im going to go off now, my eyes are messing up daryl said they tried out 'fright night' i thought it was 'friday night'. i should go rest my eyes. haha!
