yes! The words have been uttered :O

for the uninformed, its a play on the title of Dr Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham, and if you don't know that one, what rock have you been living under? D:
hopefully not the one with patrick star.
My dad's convinced patrick is spongebob's gay partner.
no, you didn't read that wrongly, it really is my dad.

ANYWAY
for the curious, yes, life has been good :D
sorry, no emo poems, I'm not in that funk anymore
yes, I said funk.

I analyze my vocabulary
I believe that makes me weird O.o

but back to the point
God has been good, and life has been good
my life's getting back on track :)

random lifestyle tip:
The best posture to stand while on the MRT to avoid falling is legs roughly shoulder length apart, knees slightly bent. Straightened out knees absorb force less well than slightly bent knees, and that makes it harder for you to accommodate the changes in forces as the train moves.

on a side note, my english is suffering, I used auto-correct thrice in this post :O
SHOCKING, but true.

I love that God's moving in familiarity in my life, yet at the same time, I love the new ways of looking at old things that He keeps revealing :)
I wanna go for the adult sermon series "in the eye of the storm". I'm also getting the Max Lucardo book with a similar name. A good friend shared a truth with me about being in the eye of the storm that I hold dear to me ;)

I'll be in Cameron Highlands from the 21st to the 27th of december with my family. Which annoys me greatly. Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with my family, and I especially enjoy the openness and truthfulness in my family. But what annoys me is that there's a part of me that wants to spend time with my friends too. Special, added annoyance is for the number of days I'll be missing with a certain oikklo friend when she comes back to singapore D:

I want a new bag
bag and shoes
bag and shoes and shirt
bag and shoes and shirt and jeans
wardrobe

I should stop using "I" so much. So egocentric. Heh, but I need my ego moments :D

and thank you for all that expressed sadness at my hiatus. whenever I stop blogging is when I realise people read my blog.

So here's to you, reader, for putting up with randomness enough to fill the seven seas!

hiatu- NAH, just messing with you.

I'd Rather Be With You - Joshua Radin


This is the sort of song you hope someday you'll remember so it plays at your wedding or engagement party or the silver anniversary of your marriage.

Yes, I'm a romantic arty-farty sort of guy, what took you so long to realise? O.o

lyrics are here
Sittin here on this lonely dock
Watch the rain play on the ocean top
All the things I feel I need to say
I cant explain in any other way

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you were naturally
The one to make it so easy when you showed me the truth
Yeah, yeah Id rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too

Now heres the sun come to dry the rain
Warm my shoulders and relieve my pain
Youre the one thing that Im missing here
With you beside me I no longer fear

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you were naturally
The one to make it so easy when you showed me the truth
Yeah, yeah Id rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too

I could have saved so much time for us
Had I seen the way to get to where I am today
You waited on me for so long
So now listen to me say

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you were naturally
The one to make it so easy when you showed me the truth
Yeah, yeah Id rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too

Say you feel the way I do

Joshua Radin's such a good singer



Count on it:
Everyone who had it in for you
will end up out in the cold—
real losers.
Those who worked against you will end up empty-handed—
nothing to show for their lives.
When you go out looking for your old adversaries, you won't find them—
Not a trace of your old enemies,
not even a memory.
That's right.
Because I, your God,
have a firm grip on you and I'm not letting go.
I'm telling you, 'Don't panic.
I'm right here to help you.'

Isaiah 41:11-13, The Message



Yes, I'm different now. And yes, I'm still random gideon.
But I'm a little older now, I'm a little wiser.
A little more learned in life
A little more learned in loss
A little more learned in gain
A little more learned in living in God's ways.
Its a journey :)
and I think I just passed a milestone

and now its on to the next one :D
with my bestest, best friend by my side
and He makes my life more exciting than you'd believe ;)

God bless :D
