Expect a most agreeable letter, for not being overburdened with subject (having nothing at all to say), there shall be no check to my genius from beginning to end.

how should another know your mind?
And there was a beautiful view
But nobody could see.
Cause everybody on the island
Was saying: Look at me! Look at me!

Friday, January 29, 2010 @ 11:14 PMHast thou no scar?
No hidden scar on foot, or side or hand?
I hear thee sung as mighty in the land,
I hear them hail thy bright ascendent star
Hast thou no scar?
Hast thou no wound?
Yet I was wounded by the archers, spent,
Leaned me against a tree to die; and rent
By ravening beasts that encompassed me, I swooned;
Hast thou no wound?
No wound? No scar?
Yet, as the master shall the servant be
And pierced are the feet that follow Me;
But thine are whole: can he have followed far
Who has nor wound nor scar?

we didn't pon, we just left early.
mcdonald's never tasted better (:
OKAY THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO SAY ABOUT OUR LITTLE ESCAPADEEEE.
right.
I shall change orientation groups for every day that I'm in JCO.
such fun!
i'm not like richard (blur) who SIGNED UP and is consequently obliged to hang around the same people for the whole of JCO.
I couldn't find my group, so (yay) I moved myself to SHAFAYYYYE's group(:D), which, by a set of pure coincidence, has MICHELLE :D in it too!
what fun.
but if I can't find people I know in other subgroups I'll just go back to the one I was with on friday.
IPOrientation still pwns JCOrientation! I have basis for comparison since I've finished one and am finishing the other yay!
Cos we were really bonding in the former, kehhh.
with people we actually needed to bond with cos we're gonna be with them for the next two years!
I mean, I don't even know the names of the people in my group.
minus michelle and shafayyyye, of course.
you just forget to ask ._.
on a offcolour note, samuel looked very wise with his specs and blue jacket when he turned around in the lt5 and went: "Yes, that's jeremy's father." -nods sagely and adjusts specs-
I DON'T THINK HE LOOKS LIKE CELINE.
BING LIN IS CRAZY.
V14 IS AWESOME MUCH.
YAY.
you know, after matriculation I came back depressed because I was so afraid I'd be friendless (read: sad lonely depressed unwanted etc) but no such fears now!
who cares that the VIP batch of 2010 has only three ex-cedarians in it!
iO've found really awesome people here too!
not that the peeps in cedar aren't awesome, but apparently God has blessed me with so many awesome people (:
I am really so fortunate.
during VIP initiation yesterday (OH BY THE WAY, AWESOME WORK GRACIAAA), someone said something about being really lucky to be in the VictoriaIntegratedProgramme [I think it was Gaille, otherwise known as Lady Monsoon. She seemed much more sane in this context xD NO OFFENCE INTENDED.] and I was musing to myself, yes, to think that I, of all the people in the world, should be so lucky!
but it's not just luck.
it's the grace of God (:
God has been so good to me.
it's not worth spending a day in sadness, because everyday, remembering God's goodness to me, I always have something to be grateful and cheerful about.
I have no problems with optimism!
because I know God has a plan for me, to prosper me and not to harm me, to give me a HOPE and a FUTURE!
and I know I can trust in Him and His promises, for I know He cares for me (:
a thought once uttered is untrue.
