A New Dawn.

okiez. i've been lagging in my posts.
been super tired by the end of the day.
got home at 4am last night, which is pretty much a new record for me.
save for the times that i overnighted.
andre told me yday that he can fall asleep while reading my posts and suggested a few ways that can facilitate his reading of my blog since my posts are usually rather long.
one of which is hitting on the enter key at the end of every sentence.
hope this will help everyone. ^^

saturday
my saturday was pretty much simple and not as fast-paced.
tuition, service and den fellowship.
went shopping with mum before dat and saw some tops dat i really liked.
but kinda decided that i shld keep a tighter budget on myself so...

anw, was having an hour or so chit chat with ran, shun ai and andre at different timings.
funny how one appears after one left.
my conversations with em mainly surrounded the topics of friendship and relationship.
i think talking to ppl abt things help me get a clearer picture of things and what i want to head for next.
over the few conversations i had tis week, i made a decision to close the love-like chapter of my life.
it is time that i move on to do what i am supposed to do and focus.
there are friendships that i will need to move away from while some drawing closer to.
thanks shunai for initiating conversations with me and sharing ur personal experiences.

my chat with andre was in a diff direction.
more inclined towards the friendship level.
it is true how it takes two individual who are commited to one another to build a great friendship.
at the same time, there is an exchange of friends.
the getting know of your friends and my friends.
kor is someone like that.
he brought me to meet up with his friends and wanted to get to know my friends too.
i thank God for his strong views on friendship and stretching out his hand of friendship to me.
he was someone that really pressed into my life and communicated his thoughts to me.
it made things a whole lot easier to cope with.
even when i was really busy and let him down so many times, he is still willing to be part of my life and wanting to be in the know.
i am going to learn to press in more into my life this year.

-this part was lost and i'm trying to recall by memory-

pastor preached abt the power of focused concentration.
(yinling just told me that i need to work on my summary skills, which i shall attempt to. :p)
i am pretty much a person who is easily distracted.
and i need to really set my goals and learn to be single-minded since this year is going to be a year of tremendous growth and breakthroughs!
gotta learn to get the distractions out of my way.

fellowshipped till 4am with yy, mich, dan, mel and barry.
mel offered to take nr6 with me.
felt that it was a very nice gesture from him.
enjoyed listening to him share abt stuff.
and he really has a great listening ear too.
thanks mel for the things that you do to make one feel impt and appreciated.

sunday
watched svc online on sunday.
and finally got to rest.
visited grandma and grandpa before meeting kk near his place.
we had a chat, sitting along the kallang river.
sure did enjoy the breeze and seeing the sun set.
took some emo pictures as well for memory's sake.
went for makan and had my very first guitar class.
was really fine and did feel a presence.
gonna work really hard at my guitar and hopefully will be able to stand in the gap for the cg.
but most importantly is for my own personal qt.
am really excited and looking forward to being able to play songs on my guit.
spending time with kk is always a joy cause he listens and shares.
coupled with his taste of humor, i will always feel much better at the end of the day.
no wonder they say that laughter is the best medicine. ^^

was having a chat with yinling online.
and she was saying how yinling = food to people.
and she confesses that yinling > food, which is great!
ming jie = buffet.
so what does rui = to you?
(it will be interesting to know. maybe i can post abt it if a compilation is made.) =p

friday
was talking to michael on friday abt principles.
did have my thoughts and halfway through writing them out.
will share once i get things organized.
too tired to write abt that for now.
but i know that the conversation we had will shape my year, and very likely my life.
saw principles in a different light and what does it mean by to really have character.
share your thoughts with me too!

monday
highlighted my hair some more today with a hair cut.
hopefully i do look good.
always feel great after cutting my hair.
some sort of therapy i guess. =p
managed to do a bit of reading today.

some food for thought:
what does it mean to fight like a girl?
is then fighting like a girl always an insult?
do the things that upset a man, upset a woman too?
are women supposed to even be fighting in the first place?
what does it mean by to be totally free so that we can be totally His?

do have my own views and thoughts about this matter and women in general.
it'll probably take time to develop content.
will do some more thinking and read more of the book first.
in the mean time, let's think...

thinking makes you grow. but thinking too much makes you slow.
for out of your thoughts, actions must follow...
