vantage

the future holds exciting things. God is taking me to places I never thought I'd go! like back to SE Asia, perhaps! i'll know in 3 weeks maybe less.
just have to keep head above water for another 10weeks. less than 3 months to travels and the good life! :D yippee

summer is barely here. but already the frenetic buzzing of wings brings back mild sufferings of entomophobia.

building character

only God gives me the strength to survive and maintain my sanity these days. its not only assignments and study that I have to do, its job applications, getting the CV together, prepping for final exam yada yada yada. such is life, but God is my strength and refuge. Amen!

to the root of wha?

sometimes i miss the days of chemistry test papers and addmaths practice. the days of just practising and practising and practising endless questions and MCQs.

i remember the grades i got for addmaths and chemistry. then i don't miss it anymore.

thank God for IFBN

i am fed up. its so nice and sunny outside, practically calling me to take a holiday in the countryside exploring some ruined castle or something. instead i am stuck in smoky, rough salford trying write up 2 assignments and study for placement! gahh!

seems like such a waste of a day when it should be spent wearing dresses and sitting in the sun with nice people. no holiday for me till i finish these assignments.

feeling so unsettled, i still have not found a church that fits, a church that is alive in the Word. there are no messianic congregations around. moan moan, poor me. anyway, enough of the pity party! i am blessed to be here! sincerely.

tear jerkers

for goodness sake. someone has to stop nicholas sparks from writing another "heartwarming" novel. unbelievable but the man has managed to churn out another vomit-inducing piece of drivel that will, i predict, will top the bestseller's list again. Now, i don't normally care about authors and the piffle they write nowadays, but he writes books like "the notebook", "message in a bottle", "a walk to remember" (cue melodious hallmark music). In my humble opinion, they are just plain shite.

He has to be stopped. well, maybe its not his fault. its the "hopeless romantics" *suckers suckers* that ought to be shot for catapulting the man into fame (and earning him a crapload of money). The man has no imagination, the crux of his novels is the fact that the hero/heroine goes through numerous emotional sucker punches, loves, loses and discovers some profound truth about their inner strength. whoop dee doo.

Maybe i should write a heartwarming novel, about a girl inspired by nicholas sparks to change her life forever and embark on a personal mission to rid the world of romantic suckers.

sorry thats my rant of the day. its the stress talking. bring back the days of roald dahl's vivid, naughty imagination.
