....zzzzz
I'll tell you now... I'm tired, and was going to sleep at the unthinkable time of 10.40pm. Is this what it feels like to grow old? Well, I'm procrastinating, and will go to bed after a few random things that I want to write about...1. Has anyone else been in the situation where you've told yourself not to think about something (because it's not very helpful to do so, or you just don't want to think about it), so of course, the thing you're not supposed to be thinking about ends up dominating your thoughts? It's like reverse psychology on yourself... which is a real pain... since there's enough cluttering my mind as it is...
2. Youth camp last weekend was really cool =) Was 17 of us, and I think the size of the group helped everyone bond quite nicely... can be a tendency for little sub-groups with large group outings, but was great to see everyone chip in and make it a wonderful time of fellowship =)
3. I am moving next Saturday... either into my new home, or onto the streets (as my lease ends the Tuesday after that). So, nearly there... kind of... so many little things to take care of... like getting a letterbox, which I did today. Was a cream coloured wooden one. I dug a hole, poured in some water, then the 20kg bag of rapid set concrete mix, shoved the letterbox post in, then spent 10 minutes trying to figure out if it was facing straight and if it was level. Apparently it takes only 15 minutes for the concrete to set. I also bought a mop, a broom and a drill! haha... been a while since I've used power tools =P
4. hmm... I'm not so sleepy now... maybe it was the extra large dinner I had and it's wearing off now? Oh well, think I'll sleep soon anyway. But now that I'm awake, here's a couple of photos:
This one from the camp (yes, I'm the one in the bright aqua top):
Here's one of the kitchen, with the bamboo floor and kitchen tiles laid (needs cleaning). You can also see some offcuts of the carpet ('mousse' coloured):
5. I think I'm experiencing an epiphany... or maybe it's senility...
6. I'm going to be playing district cricket =) ...though there could be some embarrassing results on my part >.<
7. What would you do if you found out that you only had a day left to live? A month? A year? (I have a few thoughts on this, which I'll share later).
8. There's a saying that everyone enters this world alone, lives alone, and dies alone... or something to that effect. It's a sad thought... and I for one can sympathize with it. I don't know if I'm just chemically imbalanced or something, but all my experiences have left me with the feeling that I'm only ever fleetingly connected with those around me. I wonder if I am just a cold, emotionally inhibited individual. What I do know is that our relationships have been affected by sin, and only in Jesus can we have a relationship with God, our creator. So I yearn for that relationship to be restored in its entirety, when this earthly vessel is returned to dust.
oh, midnight... time to go. Bye.

Ohhh, can see the neighbouring house in the screenshot now.
yeah, the houses on both sides are partway through construction.
Ah, I'm back... so very busy *shrugs* but procrastination is an art that I tend to excel in hehe...
1. I have been in a situation where I have told myself not to think about something... and it does tend to dominate my thoughts... but I think I've done this so many times that I can actually block out those thoughts.. and if they come up in my mind, I just block them out again... probably not healthy...
2. I heard about camp, sounds like fun ^_^ I'm glad that it was a good fellowship, bonding with people and what not. Send me pictures :P hehe
3. Ohhhh your house finally done? well on it's final stages... when I come donw you can give me the grand tour ^_^ hehe... let's hope you don't live on the streets. Email me your address, I wanna be the first one to send you something... and no one who reads this take my idea :P hehe
4. ^_^ YAY photos..
5. maybe it's insanity :P hehe... kidding
6. ... err, cricket... haha *shrugs* I have no comment :P
7. ... let me get back to you on this one, have to think about it. But in psychology there are stages that people generally go through, denial, depression, bargaining and then acceptance.
8. ^_^ thank Jesus for his sacfrifice so that we may have a relationship with God.
your poem is beautiful... ^_^
i love the photos too! and all son's poetry is beautiful! unless it's a sad/angry type poem and then it's beautifully sad/angry.

hehe... I'm not so good at blocking out the voices in my head =P
Thank you both for the encouraging words re: the poem =) hehe... well, they're about 90% sad... though I don't remember posting many angry ones.
Yes, housewarming coming up, though not sure where to fit it in with all the Tehillah events 'til end of year. haha... will be a grand tour for all guests.
Ling, will email you re: photos and address.
