Helen Irving claims of the Australian Constitution:

*It does not mean what it says
*It does not say what it means
*It says some things without actually saying them
*It fails to say things that might be important
*It says certain things that contradict each other

*amused* why do i get this feeling that it applies to someone/something else too? =p

right, back to constitutional law 2.

40%, 29th April, 2-4pm.

till then, ta! (:

you know how people like to put a plaster over a tiny wound so that it protects it from infection?

what actually happens is that it tends to fester and then pus builds up.

on the surface, all looks fine but when you lift the plaster, a soggy mess awaits you.

it hurts to leave the wound unattended, but it is even worse when you cover it up only to have it build up and get infected.

i should rip off the plaster now.

sure it hurts, but it will heal in time.

no point having a scar for life just to escape that moment of pain.

yes?

there needs to be sunshine and rain to make a rainbow. (:

the skies have cleared and in its place, i see a huge, bright and amazing rainbow. i know that God sees my struggles with everything that's happening in my life now but He has not forsaken me. He continues to be my joy, my strength and my source of hope and though the weeks ahead will be filled with many ups and downs, emotionally, physically and spiritually, i have faith that God will see me through it all. though i may not understand or see the path ahead of me and my heart still yearns for many things, i pray that my eyes and heart will be open and i'll keep my eyes focussed on Him. for My grace is sufficient for you.

thank you Lord for being so faithful in my life despite the many times i've fallen away from you.

[`whatever your cross, whatever your pain, God always sends rainbows after the rain (: ]

it's been a long period of tremendous emotional and spiritual upheaval. too many things churning inside me but i can't pinpoint exactly how and why i feel this way. time is running out and my uni days are coming to an end. so why is it that the nearer you are to losing something, the more important it becomes to you? having to leave Hobart suddenly fills me with this achingly breaking sadness- the life and friends i've made for myself for the past 1 year will once again be torn down and stored as yet another chapter of my life. a new page, a new title, a continuation of the previous storyline but this time round, new faces, new experiences, new surroundings. why can't things just stop and be still at times? why do we need to rush and fill every day with activities in order to make our lives more fulfilled? the older i grow, the faster i feel time passes by and at this moment, time is going by at such a speed that i cannot even see the beauty that surrounds me here. the tighter i hold on to things, the faster they slip out of my grasp and the despair continues to grow.

and i'm sorry for expecting so much out of you and for putting you in such a position when i know that i too, cannot give you what you want and need. to make you go through the same thing again is just pure selfishness on my part and it's time for me to grow up and start putting others first. thank you for everything, it's been incredibly sweet.

所以明白所以离开所以不再为爱而爱.

it's been a whirlwind of activities for the last few weeks but i can't say i'm complaining much. assignments, easter camp, OCF, housewarming, connect night, captain's ball, haha, it's been great. (:

easter camp was awesome!!! it was my first time being a leader in easter camp and this experience has really taught me so much. my group, CILIA, was full of people i didn't know and i was just thinking to myself, how are we going to bond together when i don't know half of them? but thank God, everyone in the group was friendly and interactive, and we bonded really really well, and it was such a joy leading them. (:

before easter camp, i was questioning myself as to whether i was really suitable or adequate for the role of a connect group leader, having to lead bible study and all together with xan. and truthfully, in my heart, i just felt that it wasn't right for me to be a leader when i didn't have substantial bible knowledge and i was ready to step down as a leader. but God is faithful as always. He spoke to me during camp and just showed me that as long as i took the first step forward, He would be with me and indeed, during the last night of camp, it was during service that i really felt the presence of God moving through the room. words that i normally would not say just flowed through my mouth and it was like God was just saying to me, 'you may not think you're adequate but look at what you can achieve with me.' and i've just been so blessed and touched to have encountered God in such a real way and i hope this stays with me for a long long time.

the activities were fun, the food was great, the rooms not so but all in all, it was truly amazing and through camp, i've met so many people and gotten to know them better. easter camp was just indescribable but the memories of it continue to warm my heart and fill me with joy whenever i think of it. easter camp again anyone? (:
