Heartbeat & breaths


I almost gone through all the lecture notes & revision questions that i brought to s'pore for the week, so i came back one and a half days earlier to finish off what's left at home and in the internet.
can't believe that the luggage that i 'drag' home weighs so heavily, might be more than 7kg, and it's mainly notes, papers..

thks to ah tat's transport, managed to get home in time to bathe n rush to night service... the passed week changed my life, I got into contact with one of my friends working in the big four audit firms (big four means the four biggest audit firms in the world), get to know roughly what is it like in the corporate/audit/professional world, referrals.. learned to study for God. get to study a lot a lot, cos staying in the orchard condo cuts traveling time substantially & also saved lots of my mental energy. i get to study 8-14 hrs a day, yayness. though first few days study until almost fell sick or until headache, but after some good mental management n getting used to, it's ok. Immense satisfaction when you clear up those accounting stuffs at the end of the day. (Accounting/audit/performance management issues are so easy to forget, to me, the final week of re-revision is supar crucial)

night service was good, P&W music was a little empty & not well co-ordinated, but P&W was fantastic, and with sermon by (surprisingly) uncle koon.

saw some teenz ppl packing/moving stuffs, camp ended n they just got back, i presume. man, my 4th or 5th time missing camp, i've partly forgotten how is it like in TEENz camp..

went to mamak.. tok-tok. nice talking to adults, they know stuffs & are experienced. haha.. hmm.. since when did adults become like friends, i'm old, hopefully more matured than last year.

Maturity...
Christ likeness..

When a girl/guy leaves, and your world crumbles.
If an exam failure hits, and your eyes are sunken.
When you are lonely, and the world spins against you.

lots to learn through the phases, to learn to put our trust in God and push thru it, in predicaments.
Then one day, when heads roll, we will still be able to stand firm.. =)

Only 23 yrs old, only lived one third of my life??! how come it felt like I have lived a lot longer?

I told uncle Koon that if i got the audit job, then i will start to experience what is called "life is tough", heh heh. ...maybe not, maybe life is only tough when u have kids, or mayb at midlife n sickness began crawling in?.. or at old age when every bone has a noise when moved?


"Be still, and know that I am God".

musings..


In Genesis, when Adam was created, God literally breathed life into him, and he lived.
And we, after 3 trimesters of development in the womb, got out, spanked, and breathed.
Tasting air for the first time, possibly after an unseen breath of God that draw us out from His sketch board to this life.

Every breath breathes of him. He notices every little sigh..
His thoughts concerning me outnumber the grains of sand on the shore..
Do I remember him?

Creator of stars & galaxies and the gigantic universe also happens to be the same person who sat down to draw every strand of DNA and kick-start my little life machine.

gotha sleep, completely flat out.

stuff my thoughts in a balloon and let it float to the sky.

Didn't hear much of him, but I like Nat King Cole's music & lyrics, simple yet unique..

let there be love - nat king cole

Let there be you,
Let there be me.
Let there be oysters
Under the sea.

Let there be wind,
An occassional rain.
Chile con carne,
Sparkling champagne --

Let there be birds
To sing in the trees,
Someone to bless me
Whenever I sneeze.

Let there be cuckoos,
A lark and a dove,
But first of all, please --
Let there be love.

Sounds like you really have a good preparation! Happy for you! ACCA is very difficult, my friend says the marking scheme is very strict. That's why when you get it, u're a PROfessional. hehe.. JIAYOU!

"Then one day, when heads roll, we will still be able to stand firm.. =)"
