Penny for THOUGHTS...
sheesh. another weekend's over.
8am tut tmr which means i'll have to wake up at 6 tmr. back to the good O'days of sem one.
on a random note, why don't i dread waking up so early as much back in pj? maybe it's the journey and the need to fight the morning kiasu crowd. besides, i'm not exactly a morning kind of person. so, oh well. what to do.
i've been reading up on certain people's blogs and there's a couple of them that made me ponder alot recently. i mean i don't understand why people do things they know they shouldn't but yet still do it nevertheless. perhaps it's the rebellious nature in us. especially girls. dying over a guy, making them your center point, living life only for them, trying hard to get their attention but to no avail. seriously, what for. i have lived life doing such things before, (not the dying part of course. i'm not so silly), but i realized it's totally irrational and silly. total waste of life. struck hard, learnt hard.
and i have friends who already have their mind set on marrying a particular person at the age of twenty!! i mean, how can you be so sure that he/she is your destined one? we can't even make proper day to day decisions, let alone choosing a life partner. it's absurd just to think about it. sometimes, things just doesn't go the way we want it to be. many times in fact. and when disaster strikes, we question God' presence. we asked him when did he let such things happen to us, or why did he not help us. and even if everything's smooth sailing, we always forget God. we'll only remember him when we need him. it's such a shame. very shameful of us.
i've always have the strong belief that everything happens for a reason. the person we meet on the street, a friend who fall sick..blah. God has his purpose. the lessons he wants us to learn, the person he wants to highlight to us...etc etc etc.
and as i read the others' blogs, i start to realize, sometimes, it is not the case that God wants mishaps to befall on us but he wants us to learn from our mistakes, to pick up from where we fall. we do things out of moments of folly, out of irrationality, out of harshness, but at the end of the day, we should ask ourselves...why did we did what we did? what if we hurt our loved ones with our wrongdoings? who will have to answer for the consequences?
so i guess it's definitely time for us to reflect about our actions and also to show more concern for the people around us (especially those whom we have neglected)...
no time isn't an excuse. if you truly care, time can be made.
on a lighter note, i read brother's blog just now. lol. the feeling's kind of..urm..weird? i believe blogs is a way of expression of true inner self...so that's probably why i'm feeling weird after reading my brother's blog. that grown up feeling that he gave me through his entries. it's so different from the quiet boy appearance he gives at home. he has even entered the world where guys vie for the hearts of the maiden..teehee. surreal feeling.
okays. enough chatter for the night. it's time for bed ((:
