Ive Been Square
[ 11:28 AM ]
My Blogging frequency has been cut down to 6 times a year?
well at least im not the kind who 'blogs' everyday with unsubstantial "i love you , you love me" entries. So you can be sure that my entries are never 'empty'.
SO ..just a few things to clear out of my mind.
Presence, or better known as 'attendance' is really subjective.
If i cant be where you want me to be, its NEVER because i dont want to
(this is general , not personally 'dedicated' to anyone)
Its because of sacrifices that i have to make, be it because i have my own responsibilities to attend to or because im not there to give place to someone else.
(and that someone else better show some gratitude for god's sake)
note: i dont really like to use god's name in vain but seriously, for GOD's SAKE!Lately , ive been sensing alot of ingratitude, not because i feed on gratitude but its only fair, humane and not to mention pro-karma for an individual to be grateful.Lets face it, who doesnt appreciate being appreciated?
Its human nature to take each other for granted.I guess it boils down to "do unto others what you want others to do unto you" or simply "love thy neighbour"
If i have to be there just to appease others, i might just confuse myself. Am i being selfish?or sacrificial?or both? either way, it seems to me, for NOW that 'most good deed goes unnoticed'
i rather be Square than be There.Figuratively speaking(pun unintended)

REST
[ 6:27 AM ]
REST.
i finally get to rest! although it means i still have to study, i feel so rested.
I have not blogged for such a long time!
I am still busy, Still OVER-packing my schedule..not a day wasted without me having to something.
Too busy to even exercise! so lately, i have been making an effort to either swim or jog 3 times a week.
i think i have lost all interest to blog , so im gonna end this entry abruptly, here.
great.
[ 1:53 PM ]
Its been quite awhile since i last updated this blog and it almost seems dead.
Here is an attempt to revive it!
Nothing much to say since theres no major hoop-la going on in my life.
Unless you include the daily battle i go through at work and the fact that i'm
trying to defeat the spells of laziness every other day.
two more years to go!
phew.or so i hope.Not very confident about this but i guess its ok.Its all worth the blood sweat and tears.
Few things ive learned so far:
1.dont expect others to have the same amount of commitment as you,more or less.
2.when you fall, pick yourself up(well that ive learnt over and over again)
3.the wheels on the bus go round and round, which is why the MRT is faster.
4.not everyone appreciates humour.
5.money makes the world go wrong.
Ive quit trying to argue with idiots who patronises the outlets.
Ive quit bothering.
Ive quit smoking( for 1 week hahha)
Ive quit showing anger.
Ive quit fighting THE MAN
Ive quit choosing fight over flight.
ive quit trying to end my entries nicely so im gonna do it,
abruptly.
Dead and Gone
[ 10:37 AM ]
" i turn my head to the east
i don't see nobody by my side,
i turn my head to the west
still nobody by my side
so i turn my head the north
swallow the pill they called pride
the old me is dead and gone,
the old me will be alright"
I can pretty much get the premonition that im going downhill soon.
With all the inevitable stress and the unnecessary stress and to top it all off, the icing to the cake, impending exams.
I'll be lucky to get out of this alive.
if i don't, please note what i want for my royal funeral.
Nothing much,just a poem each .I know i wont be able to read it, but at least my dad could get a feel of what i had become .How i turned out to be .you know?

Good Friday
[ 3:24 PM ]
Nothing blasphemous, just for knowledge
=)
ever wonder whats so good about Friday that they have to name this particular one "Good Friday?"
thanks to google.
Of the numerous Christian holy days on the liturgical calendar,
Good Friday is perhaps the most solemn and profound memorial. The dates of Good Friday, which vary by calendar year, occur between March 20th and April 23rd. Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus and falls on the last Friday before Easter. It is the pinnacle of Holy Week, and Christians observe this day with great humility and reverence.
History of Good Friday
As early as the first century, the Church set aside every Friday as a special day of prayer and fasting. It was not until the fourth century, however, that the Church began observing the Friday before Easter as the day associated with the crucifixion of Christ. First called Holy or Great Friday by the Greek Church, the name "Good Friday" was adopted by the Roman Church around the sixth or seventh century. Good Friday OriginsThere are two possible origins for the name "Good Friday".
The first may have come from the Gallican Church in Gaul (modern-day France and Germany). The name "Gute Freitag" is Germanic in origin and literally means "good" or "holy" Friday. The second possibility is a variation on the name "God's Friday," where the word "good" was used to replace the word "God," which was often viewed as too holy for commoners to speak.
Good Friday Traditions
Good Friday rituals and traditions are distinct from those of all other Church observances and add to Good Friday's considerable significance.
The entire ceremony is somber, with priests and deacons dressing in black vestments.
The pulpit and the altar are bare, and no candles are lit. The purpose behind the solemn presentation is to create an awareness of grief over the sacrifice of God's only begotten Son.
Good Friday Church rituals
starts anytime between midnight and 3 a.m., priests and other clerics begin to recite specific prayers. At the morning ceremony, the priest or church official recites lessons from the scriptures. Afterwards, there is a succession of prayers asking for God's mercy and forgiveness on all mankind. At the noon hour comes the Adoration of the Cross, where a representation of the True Cross is unveiled and the clergy and laity pay homage to the sacrifice of Christ. In the Jerusalem Church, a remnant of the True Cross itself is presented for the ceremony.
Next comes the Mass of the Presanctified, in which the priest or church official takes Communion from the host that was blessed during the Maundy Thursday ceremony. The ceremony concludes around 3 p.m. with a procession, which is followed by evening prayers. In many Protestant churches, Good Friday observances begin at noon and last until 3 p.m. This coincides with the hours (according to the scriptures) that Jesus hung on the cross. These services often include sermons on the last seven phrases that Jesus spoke while being crucified. Other services include re-enactments of the Passion according to the Gospel of John, processions of the Stations of the Cross, and the singing of appropriate hymns. All observances add to Good Friday significance and to the richness of meaning for those who know the history of the observance. To many Christians, Good Friday is felt as a day of sorrow. It is a time to grieve over the sin of man and to meditate upon the love that God has so generously bestowed upon humanity in giving His only Son for the redemption of sin.Written by: David Katski

"I can't remember when it was good moments of happiness elude maybe I just misunderstood all of the love we left behind watching the flash backs intertwine memories I will never find so I'll love whatever you become and forget the reckless things we've done I think our lives have just begun I think our lives have just begun and I feel my world crumbling feel my life crumbling feel my soul crumbling away and falling away falling away with you staying awake to chase a dream tasting the air you're breathing in I know I won't forget a thing promise to hold you close and pray watching the fantasies decay nothing will ever stay the same all of the love we threw away all of the hopes we cherished fade making the same mistakes again making the same mistakes again And I feel my world crumbling feel my life crumbling feel my soul crumbling away and falling away falling away with you all of the love we've left behind watching the flash backs intertwine memories I will never find memories I will never find"---- MUSE-Falling away with youIts been awhile since i feel appreciated,

[ 6:18 AM ]

My nerves trembled as i approached near,
my voice became tremulous and broken .
I was mesmerised by the glisten in her eyes, her scent and the serenity of her presence.
my soul takes flight up to the heavens whenever she is near.
Thats when i knew,
I Love her.
I appreciate her simplicity
I appreciate her real outlook on life
I appreciate her being unafrad to admit defeat but still carry on like a champion.
I appreciate her appreciating me
From now till then.
Till the time ends as a sojourner in your heart,
These words will stand true,
"I LOVE YOU"
I’m gonna take you
To a place far from
one will see us
Watch the pain as it disappears
No time for anger
No time for despair
Won’t you come with me
There’s room for us there
This innocent beauty
My words can’t describe
This rebirth to purity
Brings a sullen tear right to your eyes
No time for anger
No time for despair
Please let me take you’cause
I’m already there
I’m so alone
My head’s my home
I’ll return to serenity
Return to serenity-Testament
