Thanks
I give thanks
Not only for
What I have
But also for
What I will
Soon come
To find.

I give thanks
For trials
And tribulations
That have to
Be overcome.

I give thanks
For the test
That must
Be passed.

I give thanks
For happiness
And pain.
No matter the
Emotion - I
Give thanks
Just the same.

today was a bummer day, one of those days that start out promising but end up crappy...i was about to launch into an all-out, no-holds-barred rant about what happened today and how crappy it was, but i was reminded about the verse that says, 'give thanks in all circumstances'. thanks to the power of the Internet, and www.biblegateway.com, i found the exact verse:

"give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus" - 1 Thess 5:18

so i shan't rant and rage, as much as i feel like...

on a positive note, i found a really great mugging place today. the BK at east coast. it's super empty so no one would chase you out and the air-con is on the max power. which is a little too cold for my liking, but still, at least there was aircon. one problem was the horrible state of the toilet there, but all things considered, it was pretty good. i suppose i shall visit that place more regularly from now.

speaking about mugging, i have discovered that i am hopeless at mugging at home. the computer, the tv, newspapers and magazines strewn around and my very welcoming bed sitting just three paces from my study table combine to make it extremely difficult for me to sit down and concentrate. with a mere three days left of mugging, i am seriously behind time and bordering on panic already. still i can't find it in my bones to be serious and mug. why? why this torment? God help me.

anyways, i discovered this really good soup stall at the airport terminal 2 staff canteen. being a humongous fan of herbal soups and the like, this stall at the staff canteen is really awesome. the soup tastes great, and there's a very generous serving of chicken thigh or pork ribs, depending on the type of soup ordered. i had the pork's ribs lotus root soup today and joshua had chicken mushroom soup. the lotus root was good, above average, but the chicken mushroom really takes the cake, with a very full mushroom flavour and a nice fat chicken thigh along with juicy mushrooms to go with it. shall return and try that.

perhaps the discerning reader would have noticed that my post today is utterly random. yes it is, though i did not intend for it to be this way. usually i try to blog around a certain theme, but today the words just flow and the fingers just type and i really dont care what i put up on this blog, so wadeva.

perhaps i should get back to mugging, time is fast running out and yet i am still here checking email, facebook and blogging! what is this world coming to? why must a young, diligent student be bombarded with all these distractions? when i was at east coast today i saw so many sec school students slacking by the beach, cycling, blading, or just hanging out. oh how i yearn for those days of freedom...where holidays really meant holidays and camps, chalets and cycling trips abound...

sometimes you find nuggets of wisdom in the places where you least expect it. as i was having my haircut today and lamenting to the auntie about how stressful jc life is and how pathetic my holidays were, she said, 不勤劳怎么能进大学？没有用功怎样考到好成绩？i mean, as simple as it may sound, i think many times we (or at least, I) have been so sucked into the notion that i must study, but without thinking why this mugging is necessary. it just seems so short-term, like, just get over this exam and slack for awhile before stressing over the next one. i suppose ultimately it's reaping what you sow. the farmer who ploughs harder gets the better crop, no? ah look at me getting all philosophical, but therein lies a fact of life, there's no free lunch, so i gotta work for lunch. (chicken mushroom soup, anyone?)
