Excellence.

the topic of excellence has been raised quite frequently in my life, especially these few weeks. in fact, i just read Robb Thompson's 'The Endless Pursuit of Excellence'. it's a really good book, and it's really short (i read it in half an hour? and i'm a pretty slow reader). borrow it from me if you want! it's really really good.

excellence is really a journey, not a destination. and one thing i really took from it, 'people of excellence don't focus on what they're going through, but what they're going to'. and it's really so so true. so many times i keep looking at my situation and my circumstance, and i lose my focus on things that really matter, things of eternal value. it's then that the pursuit of excellence stops and i'm no longer moving forward. that cannot happen! 'excellence requires a daily striving for improvement'.

christine, it's time to really start taking steps to being a person of excellence, and never move backward, only forward. time to start setting your focus on the right things and really striving to improve in all areas of your life. please never let laziness or a lack of discipline cause you to lose focus. it is so critical to be excellent, only then will you be able to be a person of destiny and fufill what God put you on this earth to do.

God thank You for being so so so patient with me. thank You for reaching out to me and showing me what i really needed. thank You for using people and resources to get Your message clear to me. thank You for showing me how to apply the message practically. thank You for reminding me of what i can be, and showing me how slack i've become. thank You for correcting me, for i know that You correct those You love. thank You for Your love that surpasses all understanding, for Your grace that knows no end and for Your mercy that's overflowing. thank You for loving me with a love that i can never comprehend, a love that knows no end.

personal space.

it always amazes me how some people can share rooms with their siblings or have roommates for a prolonged time. yes, i enjoy it sometimes but i love my personal space. i feel weird even having alot of people in the house, let alone in my room. i like personal space and i think living alone is something i enjoy.

i don't like to not be able to play the guitar anytime i want because there are other people around. i don't like to not be able to wake up in the middle of the night and decide to go for a walk. i don't like to have to tell people if i'm not coming home. it's all too weird. i think i'm too used to having lots of personal space and freedom that it irks me to know that i don't have it any longer. huge adjustment indeed.

well, school has started and i really need to start studying. i've been lagging behind and i really don't like that. i know that i can keep up, no problem. i just gotta start. well, i will start. this term feels very different somehow. (don't ask me why, it's just a feeling).

anyway, i really want to go overseas!!! (usa or aust would be good). sg just seems so boring to me. there's so little to do in this tiny island. well, i hope i get to go overseas again! gotta save money and find a travel buddy too! (psst, MEL, finish your Os!) hahaha.

okay i love my cousins and i love my cg alot alot! i'd love to travel with all my favourite people! (:
