So I just received news that my really good friend’s brother just passed away and it suddenly dawned upon me how fragile life is. In particular, two things struck me the most.

The first was how fragile life is. I don’t know but he’s only 18 and he was just about to collect his Alevel results this Friday and this happened. It suddenly got me thinking that what are we studying so hard for in law school everyday? Rather, what are we studying so hard at the expense of? Have we been neglecting our family because we’ve been too caught up with school? Have we compromised on the ways we live our lives because of what the world ask of us? If we were to die tomorrow, can we say that we lived our life to the fullest? Did we have any regrets? Who was the last person we quarreled with? Would we feel regret for the rest of our lives knowing that we could have done something that we didn’t? I really don’t know. I just have so many questions in my head. But I thought this served as a timely reminder for all of us to treasure those we have around us, and apart from loving others, have we loved ourselves? We don't have to wait for the same thing to happen to us before treasuring those around us.

The second thing that got me thinking was how many of us are so privileged to know Christ before leaving this temporary home? It’s heartening to know that he was called home to be with the Lord, but how many people actually get to know Christ before leaving? I was just sharing with a few of y’all on Monday how upset I was that so many people didn’t know the truth and I couldn’t do anything about it. But really, this got me thinking that we need to spread the gospel to others to receive salvation so that we won’t go to the Kingdom of God alone. That is what we have been called to be. We need to reach out to the lost. We need to pray for the people around us, that they will come to receive Christ. Life is too short to wait. The Father’s heart is aching for the lost to be welcomed home, I don’t know, I just feel a need to do something about it ): We cannot just be satisfied with knowing Christ ourselves.

I need somebody to drag me out of my slumber every morning.

This cannot go on,

I'm sleeping my recess week away!!

Sighhhh.

This got me thinking.

"He is no fool to give up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose"

- Jim Elliot.

Indeed.

At 4.07am I'm craving for Planter's Cheez Ball,

I used to have them all the time,

childhood snack.

(:

Law Night Bike was good,

needed that much-needed exercise.

We cycled from East Coast Park all the way to the Singpore Indoor Stadium and to the Flyer and then to Lau Pa Sat and Sentosa Boardwalk and to Zouk then to Robertson Quay to Marina Bay Sands and back to East Coast Park again.

Butt kinda hurts abit now ah,

but it was good fun nevertheless.

Recess week is here,

so happy.

Daddy so cute,

he came home giving me NTUC vouchers he won from his company dinner.

Little things like that make me happy.

:')

Acceptable ways to grow fat.

My favourite.

Die, I just realised I'm not going to be able to study finish for Torts Midterm.

Oh no...

When studying for Tort Midterms;

Completed my Client's Letter with ten words to spare,

Imma pro.

\m/

(Secretly, it's cos I've got nothing better to say)

One thing I know that I have found

Through all the troubles that surround

You are the Rock that never fails, You never fail

One thing I know that I believe

Through every blessing I receive

You are the only One that stays, You always stay

You never change, You're still the same

You are the Everlasting God

You will remain after the day is gone and the things of earth have passed

Everlasting God

:')

I've got the joy.

On hindsight,

I've only had posts on how dreadful Law School has been so far.

Deep down inside,

I'm really thankful to God for a place in here.

It's indeed been my greatest privilege,

and it's really not all that bad.

Perhaps I was not used to the change that I failed to see the greater things He had provided for me.

From the wonderful professors to the really nice people to the intense workload and even to growing stronger as a person.

I might have lost somethings I used to be,

but I believed I've gain just as much,

if not more.

I just hope that one day,

I'll find my place in here.

I'll regain the confidence I once had.

Til then,

I am grateful.

:')

What can I do but thank You,

What can I do but give my life to You,

Hallelujah, hallelujah.

What can I do but praise You,

Everyday make everything I do a hallelujah,

A hallelujah, hallelujah.

Don't feel like studying for Torts even though I love it.

Sighhh...

The only reason why I'm still awake past 2am to do my BGS essay,

is cause I don't want my non-law mods to screw up my GPA again.

I really hope to complete this soon,

)':

At moments like this I hate technology so much.

):

I was just half about done with my BGS essay when I accidentally X the screen without saving.

)':

Noooo, five hours of my work gone just like that.

I feel like crying now.

Splitting headache,

):

I need my 3 hours long Sunday afternoon nap,

I only snuck one today.

Lunch at Maxwell with Yiling, Grace and Yaanmeng.

Wonderful church friends.

(:

The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love.

At times,

I can't blame anyone that I can't finish my work,

because I sleep and do all the world's most unnecessary things before getting down to work.

What happened to all that discipline I once had?

):

I spent the Friday afternoon reading up Spark's The Best of Me and watching the world go by.

He never fails to tug at my heartstrings.

It made me happy,

and I could imagine doing this for the rest of my life.

Sadly, life was not made for just being happy.

As we grow older,
we become of less words.

Happy to say,

assignments are over.

Or so I thought.

They give us work even before the old ones are due.

But if you must know,

life has been wonderful.. enough.

At 2.48am, I finally understand the power of caffeine having only slept four hours the night before.
It really keeps you awake,
too amazing.

Did you notice that we're already halfway through February?

Too fast.

Once again I'm humbled and reminded to rely on Your strength and not mine.

I really wanna cry but I promised myself no crying because of Law School this sem.

So I'm staying strong.

It's so hard to find my worth and confidence in this place.

)':

Favourite thing to do: Striking off items on my To-Do list.

FINALLY DONE WITH LEGAL MEMO!!!!

:D

It's most ridiculous because I've been trying to add words while everyone else were most desperately trying to cut words.

Strange.

This is how school life should be;

Sleep is too wonderful,

I just woke up.

Have I said enough how I really love this sem's timetable?

I get an average of 8 hours of sleep daily.

And there are days when I sneak 10 and wake up at hours such as this.

Coming back to reality,

I've got so many assignments due next week!!

With Legal Memo, Tort presentation and Idea journal forming the bulk.

Despite it all,

it's a wonder how life is still good.

And I'm proud to say I haven't broken down since Sem 2 started.

\m/

On another note,

celebrated Byje's birthday last night.

I guess I won't talk about how sian it is all of us are growing old,

but I love Byje of 10 years!

(:

Incessant cravings for LE Beancurd Tarts during BGS got me walking all the way from school to Middle Road and back again.

The things we do for senseless cravings.

So good.

Happy tummy.

(:

This is dreadful,

I need 9 - 12 hours of sleep everyday.

School from 8.30am - 6.45pm tomorrow,

what a bother.

It's a Saturday for Pete's sake!

The two things in life that never fail to make me happy are Captains' Ball and Bridge.

I wonder when I'd ever get sick of them?

Possibly never.

I am happy today.

So sleepy but need to persevere on and finish my part for Contract presentation.

Doesn't help that I'm doing the topic on Frustration,

sure makes me more frustrated.

):

C'est la vie.

One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

- Psalm 27:4

The school most wanted to quit: Law School.

Ugh, staying up way past 1am trying to finish up my readings for the next day sure makes me damn angsty.

Sometimes, I wonder why I even bother putting myself through such torment?

):

Then again, I don't know doing what else in life would make me happier.

Sighhh.
