Don't Waste Your Life

Life's a journey - don't forget to unpack.

Where it all meets

Perhaps then, it is at the cross of Christ that we find what we crave for most deeply in this world. Love and sacrifice, justice and mercy, faithfulness and grace. It is at the cross of Christ that all these meet, and if we dig deep enough into the core of our being, we will find that these are the things we will live and die for. - Me

To you, my reader. :)

There, look on me, so that you may not praise me beyond what I am; there, believe me, not others, about myself; there, attend to me and see what I have been in myself, through myself. - St Augustine

Creating Memories

Yes, creating common memories.

I remember when I was nearing the end of my SEP in 2006, one of the things I really wanted to do was to intentionally create memories. So once exams ended, I spent many days at the cafes reading, at the beaches lounging, flying to Auckland to run a half-marathon on my own, volunteering on Kawau Island, roaming cities on my own.

I never regretted those intentional memory-creating days. In fact, I'm glad for those things I did, I think I would have regretted it if I didn't. The only thing is, I spent most of those times on my own. Oftentimes, I'd just want to share the moments with someone. But you turn around, and realise that you're all alone in a huge city, with no familiar faces around you.

So yes, I'd love to create memories, and to do so, our living must be intentional.

On another note, I am really touched.

I have so many friends who have this on their MSN nick:

do you know any 陪读妈妈s (PDMMs)? msg me if u do

I'm a little desperate for samples, I have 2 tentatively now for my thesis, and I havent had direct contact with them as of now. I need 6 in total. And i need to start collecting data. Fast.

Many things on my mind now, feel a little distracted. I need to focus. Liren, focus.

I shall come to school to work tomorrow. No compromises.
