someone's watching over me

Lord Jesus, there is anger in my heart and I cannot root it out.
I know that I should calm down and offer the hurt and disappointment to You
but my emotion is running away with me.
Help me to overcome this weakness and give me peace of heart as well as mind.
Let me learn from this experience and grow into a better human being.
Amen.
-- Prayer in Time of Anger



Oww my throat hurts real bad. All fr screaming at a 10-yr-old.
Reason? Girl has no respect for her elder sister.

Way to go, Sarah, just perfect.










Someone's watching over me, Hilary Duff
Found myself today
Oh I found myself and ran away
Something pulled me back
The voice of reason I forgot I had

All I know is just you're here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight


This song was playing on d lappy when I was saying d prayer above.
Lord Jesus, thank you for listening.

5. Plan trip to KL for junior's bday




Now, it's not tht hard, izzit?

Your priorities are clear.






Now go do work you.

gives me shivers just thinking bout them =(

I admit this freely... I am dead scared o leeches! And ants. And I hate houseflies.
Donating blood/getting bitten is not my worst fear... I just can't stand d sight o these slimy wriggly crawly things.

Going on a site visit to a ex-rubber plantation w my class tmr. We've been warned that there'd b leeches around so I've been worrying my head off bout it. Instead o reading my readers for Theories o Archi and Urbanism, I've been researching on leech prevention ("how to get rid o them" do not interest me. I don't want to meet them AT ALL).

Will b taking measures such as (liberally) spraying/hosing myself down w insect repellent and dettol-baby oil mixture (which is highly recommended; ref 1 and ref 2). Undecided whether or not to go extreme and wear stockings too?


Anyway here's to hoping I won't meet leeches and in d event I do, that I won't scream my head off. Calm, sarah, calm.

fighting even on plurk

SHE五月天
听着这首歌的时候看到朋友在我的plurk上留言。
突然心里很难过,比刚才被放飞机开着车在LDP一直开到快离开PJ的地方时还难过。

<朋友>说:做事太鲁莽!
<sarah>说:me too! *high five
<朋友>说:什么都要跟我争!(annoyed expression)

几次了,我做什么都让他看不顺眼。我是真的刚好也做了冲动的事情。连同意都不能?



前几天成绩出来,我身在新加坡没向谁打听消息,不知道他真的当掉那科了。
其实我没炫耀,也没当众公开成绩。只是说对自己的成绩没有很满意,下学期要继续努力。
我很高兴达到自己的目标,这样也错了?



在Plurk上一年多了,不知道自己为什么留在那里。本来是一片只有朋友的天空,有他在让我再次小心翼翼。何苦呢?





当初“分手”时我说了什么?说先退一步做朋友,因为我们连朋友都不是。这句话他至今还是不懂。或许他注定与我无朋友缘。
我不想和他吵架!因为吵架10有89不能促进友情反而制造破裂!
开始后悔自己为什么当初和他走的那么近。听到吗?我后悔跟他“在一起”。不喜欢说“如果当初”“If only”的莹说后悔当初了!
没搞清楚状况,谈什么恋爱啊?感情没有友谊没有默契,是不可能的。谁不懂这个道理请去撞墙!

不经一事不长一智,so true。



Sarah is now sadder and wiser.

5 things ppl regret at d end o d day.
A friend recommended I read this. I know what he's telling me, and I'll try my best to achieve it =)

love and relationships

wow, it's been 22 days since my last post. Time really flies when I'm working.
More on work later.
This post is more panda-talk-ish *grins*.


What is boy/girl love exactly?

Is it love, the times I spent w Panda?
We did not go on dates, or see each other a lot; instead we texted and called each other to talk about everything under the sun. I loved when he understands me even when I blubber over the most insignificant things and the random way I pick a song to describe my day.
Missing him is more o a constant ache than a sudden jolt.


Do I like>love him?!
A person whom I can pick out instantly in a crowd, and, apparently, finds me just as easily (don't ask me how I know =p). I don't need or want to see him nor chat w him every day, even when we do it's not like a whole night thing; and we text only for valid reasons. But seeing him instantly makes my day brighter.
Verdict >> Nah.. He's an awesome friend, one I an count on always.


Does he like me as more than a friend?
Okay, this guy's a good friend. I was w him through his unfulfilled love quest and he's the neutral ground for me and d ex. Nowadays he's the person I call when I need help or want lunch (esp when my aforementioned coupled friends go off being a couple).. Kinda like a special 隔壁桌 buddy (as Miss Kirsten would put it, my "best friend"). And he's the most supportive among my friends. Even when people judge or criticize me, he gives me a "Sarah Chong!!" and leaves it at that. Haha honestly I think I'm getting more and more paranoid.. Having a guy as a special-level best friend does not automatically put him in a like me/like him category.
Verdict >> Rationally... I don't think/hope so. I'm not his type at all..


What'm I gnna do bout this guy?
I quite sure about this one.. At least, I've got a strong hunch, and you know what they say bout girls' instincts. There are just too many factors that make him less o a "very-friendly and helpful" friend and more to "I like you what can I do for you?".
Then again who am I to judge the 'strength' o friendships? Maybe going out o their way to FOLLOW ppl home (I was driving; he followed in his car) despite having no sleep for bout 40 hours is a common thing betw friends.
Verdict >> I don't care. I'm not going to send him wrong signals but I'm definitely NOT going to pick up his.


What happened to the "promise"?
I wasn't sure that he's serious, and seeing that I'm not that interested anyway... I'm gnna drop it and not think about it anymore. No more dreading the day~


Yes, Sarah is being decidedly perasan. But why not? It's not like I'm obsessed w it.. Just good for pre-sleep musings =p
