seasons out of time
There is no remembrance of men of old,
and even those who are yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow.

Say it's carol singers
With any luck by this time next year
I'll be going out with one of these girls
But for now let me say
Without hope or agenda
Just because it's christmas
And at christmas you tell the truth
To me you are perfect
And my wasted heart will love you
Until you look like this
Merry Christmas

i hate it when pple play the guitar realli well..
that's random.. and not the point at all. we were cooking (and having) dinner in the kitchen.. and after a while pple started drifting in. and domhnall eoghainn started playing a song on his guitar.. an impromptu song.. an impromptu song with 7 words.
"i'm stuck in the mud.. over u.." over and over and over and over and over again.
for 55 min.
dun ask me how. i don't noe how. maybe the fact tt pple are begging him to stop spurred him on. in any case.. it gets realli irritating.. so irritating to the point of being funny. i'm stuck in the mud is stuck in my head now..
and sandy was like.. "f***ing stuck in the f***ing mud for more than a f***ing half hour!!" that basically sums it up..

vs today was hilarious. well to me it was. i so totally love my new ou xiang. he's so funny..
while waiting for another grp (whose facilitator went missing.. so had to join us..) to come back from their break.. we started talking abt xmas. and when each of us realised tt santa claus didn't exist. when my ou xiang reached malcolm, malcolm went, 'ehm.. i can't realli remember...' and den my ou xiang had this shocked expression on his face b4 going, 'oh oh i'm so sorry.. i assumed that everyone.. i'm sorry. how are u feeling now?' and on and on.. i can't remember much apart from tt cos i was laffing so hard. haiz.. my ou xiang is so funny.
todae's vs was on the placebo effect. and he was talking abt how hard it will be to obtain informed consent when u're planning to inject water into a troublesome cranky patient who is actually perfectly well. 'we have this wonderful new medication.. that came from a tap..' ok.. it doesn't sound so funny.. but trust me it was hilarious when i heard it. haiz.. my ou xiang is so funny.
vs is actually a total waste of time.. and realli boring as well. but it's the highlight of my week.. cos of my ou xiang!!! well.. maybe not all weeks.. since he's sharing our vs grp wif another doctor. oh well.. nvm. alternate weeks is gd enuf. better than nothing. haiz.. my ou xiang is the best..

oh.. my brother texted (sms-ed) me something quite some time ago.. and i just happened to read it again. but i deleted it alreadi.. so.. can't remember the exact words. nvm.. i shall just paraphrase..
the beauty of life is not how happy u are, but how happy a person is bcos of u.
isn't tt just so true? at least i think so. if u noe u made someone happy.. e happiness u get is in a league of its own..
i'm convinced now. nothing happens by coincidence. something happened recently.. which (i suppose) i won't be able to understand or be sympathetic abt.. IF i hadn't read an article in a magazine just a few minutes b4 it happened.
God has planned everything down to the smallest detail. even the chapter i read in the bible last night seems to be refering to it.
coincidence is just something man made up to describe things he can't explain.

sandy has been sleeping for ages.. haiz. i'm so bored.
we reached my room at abt 5.. and she fell asleep at abt 5.30.. it's 8.30 now. do a bit of math and u'll realise she's been sleeping for quite some time.
NOTHING HAPPENS BY COINCIDENCE!!
just read tiff's blog.. then i read my bible to prepare to sleep. but this is too pressing.. so i have to blog it. (tiffany this is for u actually..)
Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
1 Peter 2:1-3
Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
1 Peter 2:11-12
To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
"He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth."
When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.
1 Peter 2:21-23
DON'T BE SUCH A CYNIC!!
just remembered something my friend and i were talking abt. quite amusing actually. we were talking abt how when pple shave their legs.. they haf to keep shaving bcos when the hairs grow back they're longer n coarser etc. apparently tt's the case la.. from wat i heard. and so it's like a positive feedback thing. the more u shave.. the more u have to shave. hmmm..
which got me thinking of course. if u're not veri nice to a person.. he/she will probably be able to feel it. and so he/she will be slightly unhappy and not be veri nice to u either. then u'll be slightly unhappy and be less nice to him/her. and on and on and on. it's a positive feedback loop too!!!
so.. my conclusion is.. we shld all be nice to one another. and the world will be a much better place.
i dun believe in coincidences. do u?
i believe that everything happens for a reason. we may not know why now.. and we may never know. still.. i do believe. i believe even tho i noe i can't see or proove it. not veri scientific eh? but i believe in faith..
on a lighter note.. these few days something strange has been happening. i'll be walking along the street.. and randomly think of a person. and voila! suddenly the person appears in front of me. whoo.. scary.. and it didn't happen just once either.. at least a couple of times..
everything tt happens must have a reason. everything tt happens happened bcos it was planned down to the smallest detail. it may seem random n insignificant.. but i realli realli believe that it's all part of a bigger plan..
so maybe i shld learn to look at the bigger picture.. and not be so affected by small little things. i do tend to focus too much on details. which i suppose isn't gd. at the end of the day.. if we can learn to not care.. everything will sort itself out.

'Oh, there you are,' said Christopher Robin carelessly, trying to pretend he hadn't been anxious.
'Here we are,' said Pooh.

been flooded wif thoughts abt the past these few days. maybe it's onli bcos i'm going home soon. or maybe it's this feeling of familiarity.. tt no matter where u are.. some things dun change.
was reading wailam's blog. i suppose tt the best kind of relationships are those where both parties give n take the same amount.. no matter wat kind of relationship it is. but tt is hardly ever true in most relationships isn't it? once in a while u do find it.. and when u do.. it'll probably turn out to be one of the best relationships u'll ever have.. cos it's so easy to maintain.
i think i'm crapping.. have lots to say but don't know how to say them. it's not nice when the person seem to be more impt to u than the other wae round.. but if someone treats u better than u treat her/him.. doesn't it feel weird as well? u'll be so uncomfortable..
oh well.. maybe i don't make sense. maybe it's just me. maybe no one will understand aniwae..
