I've often wondered if what I've always wanted, dreamed, hoped for are all just meaningless desires. Yes, I'm a girl who dreams alot, who wants to touch the world, but sometimes I feel like that is not for me. God did not plan it out for it to be this way. What if it is all just my own fantasy? My own selfish desires? Man! I wish I knew what's the plan for my life! Haha, ya I do get frustrated sometimes. But I want to be grateful to the fact that I have a God who cares and will lead me the right path. That's the only truth I can hold on to for now.
Okay, oh guess what. I'm so back into exercising again. Yup my love for running is back! Since now is the school holidays, I'm aiming to run at least twice a week (mon and thur). Hope it'll be successful. I remembered when I was in school, I used to love 2.4km run. Everytime there's a 2.4km run for PE I'll be very happy (ya while the rest of class will start scolding the teacher). Haha, I am the fastest girl in my class okay! haha nothing to be proud of (not like I've won $1 million or something).
Oh, the kids left only 1 week of school holidays :( yup then it's back to the normal study routine again. Well, what can I say, this is the life of a Singaporean! I wish to start school soon too. I feel like this holiday is so long. Which reminds me, I have not plan on what modules to take next semester. Sigh. You know, I've actually thought of taking another theatre module. I mean I love to act, but what stops me is the fact that I'm afraid that I cannot handle the stress. Theatre modules are usually quite heavy and having already taken 1 module in my first semester had already indicated to me that it is stressful and time consuming. Anyway, I still have to start planning soon. Psych is already enogh to kill my brain cells!
Haha. Okay that's all for this post. I'm just rambling.
"Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living"

Living in an innocent world?
To be as shrewed as snakes but yet at the same time, we have to be as innocent as doves.
Difficult to follow, but true. It reminded me of how I live my life. Am I somebody who thinks and acts wisely or am I somebody who thinks the world is just full of flowers and everybody is sweet and nice? I guess I'll be naive if I continue to hold on to the second option. Honestly, sometimes I have no idea why God put me to be in certain places, to go through certain situations, to meet certain people...If I can see Him face to face, I would ask Him 'why?'...why did you give me these? I agree that sometimes God works in ways I can never understand, all I can do is to continue to trust Him...that's all.
Coming to a different point, haha I must say that ever since I've started volunteering in a childcare centre I've really come to love children ALOT! Honestly, being with them is like in TellyTubby Land all over again. Yes, they od have their naughty moments, but I still see them as such innocent children. their mistakes are innocent. That's why we have to teach them to do the right thing. Haha. I loved it when they grab my hand and want me to show affection to them. I love it when they climb onto my lap with a storybook and asked me to read it with them. I love it when they pull me and ask me to play with them. I love it when they call me 'Jia Yee Jie Jie' But best of all, I love it when they look me in the eye and say, "Jie Jie, I love you". It will make my heart melt. Just melt infront of them, at that spot, at that moment. Aww...so cute! Seriously, I adore every single one of them.
Yeah, I do wish at times that life would be that sweet, that simple, that innocent. But it is not. In fact it never will be. What pastor said was true. We are living in a world of wolves and the only option we can choose is either to be like one of them, or to be different and choose to reach out to them instead. I want to be a blessing to anybody that I meet. It is not easy, but it's just my personlity, the way I want to live my life. Anyway, I must say that I have no regrets volunteering in Lakeside Before and After School Day Care. I will treasure every moment of my time there. Thank you God for placing me there to serve your children.
