OK I really should be studying. And I am, just that I'm listening to songs in between and I found this song by James Morrison and I just had to share it with everyone. The lyrics are so true. So much has been going on lately, this is exactly the song I needed to hear. James Morrison is amazing.
Enjoy :)
I promise to properly update after the 10th!
a sweet reminder

Sometimes we just need to be reminded!
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
Well, he replied, "What if I do this?"
And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.
"Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.
My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson.
No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value.
It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.
We feel as though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you.
The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE.
You are special - Don't EVER forget it.
Count your blessings, not your problems.
And remember: amateurs built the ark. Professionals built the Titanic. If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.

7 to go.
Taking a little break in between all the stress. The week seriously flew by for me. Like one day it was Monday and the suddenly I wake up and its a Sunday morning. Like seriously, where did the rest of the days of the week go????? The only other day that wasn't a blur for me was Wednesday.
Anyways, college seems waaaay packed now. Its like a good thousand students registered for the recent intake. OK I'm exaggerating, but you get my point right? Now it takes a good 10 minutes for the lift to come down, and when it does people rush in and you find yourself waiting another 10 minutes for the next lift. There goes 20 minutes of your day. Sheesh. But it doesn't end there. The lift then stops at every single floor. Even the 2nd floor!!! Take the stairs lah!!! Exercise a bit. Save the people who really need to use the lift some time.
On a random note, ever noticed how babies get excited everytime they see or experience something new? To them even discovering a new corner of the house can become a highlight-of-the-day kinda thing. The smile on their face when they find that new corner, or when you show them a new tune, it makes me smile from ear to ear as well. Yesterday was fun. Filled with words like rememer (remember), Mi-ne mose (Mickey Mouse) and Yehan (Jehan).
Hahahaha. :)

12.more.days. First paper on the 13th. The only thing on my mind right now.
But, it also feels good to know that, in a way, this is only for another month, and then I get to breathe for about a week or two.
My family and friends have been really great support
I love all of you :)
