ups and downs

well, i've had my first major 'down' day last thurs this year (19 jan). can't remember when the last one was though...anyway. i don't know why exactly, because normally i don't get upset easily over things, ESPECIALLY little things. little to me anyway (cos i know to some other people, they'll blow and panic, and lose their breathe, and then proclaim themselves dead...). surprisingly, its almost real to say that it is the people closest to you that hurt you the most. (it was just a small thing, really.) all i have to say is, thank God. He gave and sent people close to me to lift my spirits and see the bright things in life again. i realised how much i missed home and missed my family. my mum visited me and brought red bean soup. my brother told me of his memories when we were kids and how he made a fool of himself by stopping the music when the parcel reached me in the game of 'pass the parcel' ...haha.. what a sweet dude. i'm simply so blessed.
so there i was, had a great day on wed, sad day on thurs, and felt way much better on fri. never thought that i was the sort for serious mood swings, but now who'd believe me when they see this? haha...

fri 20jan was liting's 21st birthday party (her bday's on 22jan). i drew her a portrait of herself from a camp photo. to my amazement (and everyone else too), i thought it looked like her! haha... ok, they said it was good. and in fact, it was really encouraging. to me, that is. cause finally i see the fruits of my labour, all in the name of our good Lord. and i truly believe that He is doing something wonderful in me, though i struggled through last semester. He works through our struggles... and difficulties..whether we're happy with it or not. glad i went through it though. no regrets now.=)

well, just a thought. i find it ironic that someone can call another person is narrow-minded. i mean, aren't you already judging yourself by the very act of saying that?unless u know everything they know... wise people don't say they're wise. my guess is that, they don't say another is dumb too. cause you just never know what or why you're saying it in the first place. that person (intelligent or otherwise) has a purpose in the world too, whether u know it or not.

and all thanks to group 2 in art history for another excellent presentation today! *clap clap clap*
