Welcome to HHM Land!

gonna sleep...
got presentation on Yun Nam tmr....yawnz.

i shall not elaborate on how i recovered my blogger account. its just me and my minimal knowledge on IT skills and the likes.

so much has happened since i last blogged.
of cuz the first thing i would want to talk about is how i really want to thank God for being so gracious to me. to those who know, please pray for me. u know how much i want this. but even if i dun get it, since this is the 2nd time round, i think i have much more faith in God that everything He has planned for me is good and will be good. i may not be able to appreciate it for now, just like how bitter medicine tastes bad and is tough to swallow. but i know its definitely the best. God loves me. He will provide.

and then of cuz, i got to congratulate my 'ever-faithful' JJ for his success in getting the hand of the girl of his dreams. i wish u2 all the best!~

and i also pray for fren that fren will recover and be healed by God. Draw on His strength, its a road to submission, a path through pain and suffering. You'll get through it. Be blessed by God and let Him speak to you. Let Him heal you.

and i hope this sem will be over soon. cant wait for holidays to come.
sarah is already enjoying her holidays: sitting on the grass, doing QT and drawing i-dunno-wat. and soon, going off to spain!! envy!!!

that's all for now, folks.

today i'm gonna recommend a book to everyone:
The Colour of Law by Mark Gimenez

it's a very addictive read. i combed through 465 pages in 2 days...dat's how good this book is! American newspaper/magazine Time Out's review says "A compulsive read that owes its heart, soul and passion to Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird...Warning: you can lose an entire lazy Sunday to this one." And they were right. On top of studying for the horrifying finance test on sat, i was absorbed in this book for the last 2 days. i would study one chapter of finance (sometimes, half) and then reward myself with 1 or 2 chapters. i stayed up till 4am to finish this book on thurs nite. it is sooooooo good!

it doesn't just have a good storyline with a captivating main character. this book has real meaning and can impact your life. one of the most striking moments throughout my read was the line: do you want to do well or do good? how much would u sacrifice for the good of others, even those despised?

most people just want to do well: get the money, status, fame and a comfortable life. but so often we do not associate ourselves with wanting to do good. the desire to benefit others through our actions just contradicts our nature to put self before others.

most of the time, we intend to do good or don't even think about doing good. in the end we just turn to doing well instead. we care more about glory for ourselves more than the initial purpose of doing good. (think: rag and flag) it infuriates me when people use the reason, more like excuse, that they do not benefit from their acts of charity and kindness. beneath, what they honestly wanted is the glory and honour for themselves and would resort to all means just to get there.

so, are we doing good? or just merely doing better? doing well?

go read: The Colour of Law by Mark Gimenez.
u won't regret it.
