mercy me!

it's nearing 7am and I've yet to go to rest. I've just finished the first draft of a long paper. I really can't write long papers.. why do people have so much to say anyway? or rather why do we have to say it in such a long winded fashion? the word limit thing is more like a word target.

i've never been this overwhelmed by work before! what a new height. it's insane i can't bear to imagine beyond the next day because I wouldn't be able to breathe. submission datelines, internal datelines, freaking so many of them!! Right now, I'm learning to take every single bit in baby steps and enjoy my work and projects. I'm constantly reminded that God's mercies are new everyday. they're meant to be refreshed each day, which also means they're meant to only last us a day. how am I to survive a whole week on a single day's supply of mercy?

With Him in the reign, we're able to live each moment. fully. isn't that a great blessing

things in hall are really gonna change so much next year. but what's new? things changed so much this year anyway and it was so great. I have no clue what God'll have installed for me in the next academic year.
i must admit though that i'm really sad that many of my close friends aren't staying on any longer.but life goes on and all of us have a purpose wherever we are. more importantly, we're where He wants us to be and nothing can be better than that.

yeap my stomach's growling it's goin to be breakfast time very soon! k i'll nap and wait for food time.

love~

racial minority

I went to litte india today with wanyi and it was kinda weird cos I really felt as though I was a tourist in my own country. some of the advertisements and signboards were only in Tamil. For once, I felt out of place in my own country. haha aptly, i'm doing this in place/out of place social geog reading. I was telling her that we could be doubly marginalized cos we were 1)chinese and 2)female. everybody around us were male and dark-skinned. I can't recall the last time I belonged to the racial minority in a place. I haven't been to Little India in so long it was fun! we had a good time together(: the food we had was disappointing though. I don't know where the good ones are!

I'd just begun exploring the radio function in my mac's itunes. hahah it rocks la. so many different genres of music available streamed from all over the world. really i love it! and they do not have commercials, how nice! I like listening to music I've never heard of ever in my life because it constantly feels as though there's a surprise waiting cos i have absolutely no clue what comes next in the song. ok nvm i dunno how to describe it.

i'm working on my first paper this semester and i feel like a noob all over again haha. God please help me!

and out of the corner of my eyes I spy a little card from Dan and Ani that just flew down from the top of my speakers. it reads:
"So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy and we will find grace to help us when we need it."
Heb. 4:16

love to all~
