Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines, or you can live your life crossing them. -Grey's Anatomy Season 1 Episode 2

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose. -Jim Elliot

If you spend almost the entire night being irritated at someone's constant criticism of everything and everyone around him/her, are you being that person?

I have a gut feeling that sometime later this month, I'll have a sudden windfall ie wind blow money fall from sky. Let's wait and see.

Give a shot at moving on, and you'll be surprised at just how adaptable you can be.

My feet hurt. I want an osim leg and foot massager.

My back hurts. I want an osim massage chair.

I'm too lazy to take a shower. Someone should invent an automated human-wash.

you're someone i don't want to ever have to get over

I didn't think much of it when Abraham sent it to me, but now I guess that if it isn't a good measure, what is?

"When you've gone so far you think you cannot take another step, you've only gone half as far as you can."

Life is so unfair. Not that I, born in Singapore and thus automatically luckier than most, have any right to complain. But being the spoilt, discontented, typical Singaporean blind to my own fortunes, I reiterate:

Sometimes, life, is just, so, unfair.

This is the last time
That I'm ever gonna come here tonight
This is the last time I will fall
Into a place that fails us all inside

I can see the pain in you
I can see the love in you
But fighting all the demons will take time
It will take time

The angels they burn inside for us
Are we ever, are we ever gonna learn to fly?
The devils they burn inside of us
Are we ever gonna come back down, come around?
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

This is the last time
That I'm ever gonna give in tonight
Are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear to see

Still I can see the pain in you
And I can see the love in you
And fighting all the demons will take time
It will take time

The angels they burn inside for us
Are we ever, are we ever gonna learn to fly?
The devils they burn inside of us
Are we ever gonna come back down, come around?
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could break us

If I was to give in, give it up, and then
Take a breath, make it deep
'Cause it might be the last one you get
Be the last one that could make us cold
You know that they could make us cold
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

angels or devils, dishwalla

I've been asking when reason is reason enough, but today I realized that you're the only one who can give the answer to that question, because reason is reason enough, when reason is enough for you.

Appreciating Abraham. Too many times I've undermined his friendship to me and I neither want him to feel unappreciated nor do I want his to be a friendship that I realize the value of only after I've lost it due to my tendency to take the things and people closest to me for granted.

In the midst of a “holy” Christian community, we sometimes forget that we are all fallible and fallen, so we pass judgement on those whom we know have. But if you took each and every one of us out of the Christian situation and put us back into the sea of strangers we call “the world”, it’d be easier to remember. So maybe someone around you hasn’t prayed or spent time alone with God in a while, and that’s okay. Maybe someone else hasn’t been in church for the right reasons for a while, and that’s okay too. Maybe the life the person across from you is telling of during an accountability session is fabricated just so he/she’ll come out of it with your impression of him/her intact. Maybe, in other company, the person you’re listening to talk now swears once every three seconds. Maybe, privately, the person you respect is addicted to pornography, masturbates seven times a day and would sleep around. Maybe, silently, someone in your Bible study group has controversial opinions on issues in the Bible. Maybe someone else around you is most things earnest followers of Christ aren’t. But maybe all these people think that they’re wrong, too, and maybe they’re trying. And just maybe, if you looked hard enough, you’d find that one of these people is you.

Realize: things won't happen "somehow", as I say too often. You have to work at them. Pick your fights wisely; know how to admit when it's a lost cause.
