Thanks for stickin by...

My unstable, irregular troubled emotions seem to have subsided and stabalised after last Thurs...

...thanks to my dear gal friend who accompanied me the whole day...

...the chat I had with my lecturer...

... the dinner cooked by my dear friend...

... friend's bf and exuni mate visit with lemon cheese cake...

...Thank you...
It made a difference
Knowing you guys would be there
and still be there...

It'll be over soon...
then all I need to do is... REST...
Wanna take a break from everything...

I still do have some questions in my mind.

Why is it that I am not as strong as the others?
Why do I need people around me to be there - physically & support me? to feel better.
Why do I constantly have people worrying about me?
Am I really that weak?

However,

I am blessed

I do feel bad sometimes...
I hope I can do the same for them.. as they have for me...
Often times, I feel as if I fail in doing so.
Am not as good at it as they are.
Yet they are patient and they cont to stick by me.

Thank you.

'Art on the streets' in Adelaide

This is what I call 'arts on the streets' :)

A simple attempt like this, done by young people themselves, can make a difference in our community and society.

Primary school kids and migrant young people get to see their art in which they did themselves on the side streets of the city.

I wonder how much impact does this have on the young people and also the people who see these art effort around.

It certainly gave me hope... for young kids to be able to express themselves... to feel belonged and be part of the society and community they live in.

Smileys for the kids who were involved in this project :)

A Future Not Our Own

A prayer / poem by Archbishop Oscar Romero

It helps, now and then, to step back
and take the long view,
The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts,
it is beyond our vision.

We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of
the magnificent enterprise that is God's work.
Nothing we do is complete,
which is another way of saying
that the kingdom always lies beyond us.

No statement says all that could be said,
No prayer fully expresses our faith.
No confesssion brings perfection.
No pastoral visits brings wholeness.
No programme accomplishes the church's mission.
No set of goals and objectives includes everything.

This is what we are about:
We plant seeds that one day will grow.
We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise.
We lay foundations that will need further developmen.
We provide yeast that produces effects beyond our capabilities.

We cannot do everything
and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that.
This enables us to do something,
and to do it very well.
It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way.
an opportunity for God's grace to enter and do the rest.

We may never see the end results,
but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker.
We are workers, not master builders,
ministers, not messiahs,
We are propehts of a future not our own.

More Beautiful You by Jonny Diaz

Lyrics
Little girl fourteen flipping through a magazine
Says she wants to look that way
But her hair isn't straight her body isn't fake
And she's always felt overweight

Well little girl fourteen I wish that you could see
That beauty is within your heart
And you were made with such care your skin your body and your hair
Are perfect just the way they are

There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you

Little girl twenty-one the things that you've already done
Anything to get ahead
And you say you've got a man but he's got another plan
Only wants what you will do instead

Well little girl twenty-one you never thought that this would come
You starve yourself to play the part
But I can promise you there's a man whose love is true
And he'll treat you like the jewel you are

So turn around you're not too far
To back away be who you are
To change your path go another way
It's not too late you can be saved
If you feel depressed with past regrets
The shameful nights hope to forget
Can disappear they can all be washed away
By the one who's strong can right your wrongs
Can rid your fears dry all your tears
And change the way you look at this big world
He will take your dark distorted view
And with His light He will show you truth
And again you'll see through the eyes of a little girl
