e.x.a.m.ine me

taking a much-needed break from mugging. okay so the break kinda started about 2 hours ago, but all the gender theories & debate about essentialism vs. constructionism is making my head swim. still, it's pretty interesting stuff. at least i'm not studying numbers and well, more numbers. ugh. well, gender studies will be my third paper! my first two exams have come & gone. thank God (: wrote some really 'off' answers for forensic science. could've smacked myself for that! but it's okay i hope the mcq was fine. and i was freezing for my singapore literature paper. my hand cramped & i was shivering, but i did write quite a bit for each question. so basically, it's fine & dandy..what my results should be too! okay mebbe i shouldn't get into that yet. =X

can't.hardly.wait.for.my.exams.to.be.over. OVER. OVERR!!

Take every thought captive.

No exceptions. Anything, any thought that is contrary to the Word of God, eg. "you have no reason to live" you have to take it captive. How do you take a thought captive? You have to take your thoughts captive by something greater than a thought. What is greater than a thought? The Word and your words! Revelation 12:11 - "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony..." Your words have more authority than your thoughts and if you speak what God says, then you are speaking that which is spiritual for God's Word is spirit and life. When your testimony becomes God's Word, then you speak power.

-- an excerpt from http://www.hissheep.org/deliverance/mastering_our_emotions.html

do read the whole passage linked via the url there. it's good. it's a timely instruction and encouragement, especially during this exam period, when not-very-good thoughts in yer mind build up somehow & get you down. but yes. i am more than a conqueror in Christ. who says Amen to that?!

good night, farewell

"sleep inertia: a transition period from asleep to awake in which a person experiences diminished mental functioning, such as not being able to make quick decisions, impaired concentration and a lack of energy.People who feel lethargic from oversleeping could find themselves in a vicious cycle that is very hard to break: It seems as though more sleep is needed, but that could just lead to more grogginess."

and that bold sentence just sums it all up for piggybel. hah!

on a more amusing & highly entertaining note, yesterday I found Lucky(the cutest dog ever) ON TOP OF THE TABLE! he'd jumped onto the table to eat a sausage-one whole, long, complete, intact sausage- my bro left on the plate. how greedy can you get?! and he disturbed my beauty sleep too. hmph.

oh yes. my exams start tomorrow! how... fun. haha. pray for me to write wonderfully! (:

A silent song from the heart

(in emulation of kenmuddo HAHA)

Your Grace Still Amazes Me - PCD

My faithful Father, enduring Friend
Your tender mercy's like a river with no end
It overwhelms me, covers my sin
Each time I come into Your presence
I stand in wonder once again

Your grace still amazes me
Your love is still a mystery
Each day I fall on my knees
Your grace still amazes me
Cause Your grace still amazes me

Oh, patient Saviour, You make me whole
You are the Author and the Healer of my soul
What can I give You, Lord, what can I say
I know there's no way to repay You
Only to offer You my praise

It's deeper, it's wider
It's stronger, it's higher
It's deeper it's wider
It's stronger, it's higher
than anything my eyes can see

i love this song. the lyrics totally capture what one feels. unfortunately, it's only replaying in my mind. to some kind soul out there, do send me this song!

the writer rejoices.

All right, so my blog is suddenly experiencing an influx of posts. But i do need a space to hone my writing skills, and a space for expression. Aaanndd... a space to announce the completion of ONE essay!

HOORAYY!! I actually exceeded the word limit of 1300 words. I amaze meself.

One whole day spent in front of my laptop screen has certainly paid off. My back aches mightily though. hrrmmph. off to bed and to tackle the next horriblee essay! Cover me in prayer as I enter the battle arena to fight for my A. ha!

Thank You Lord for sustaining me this day. This is the day that the Lord has made; I will rejoice & be glad in it (:

of war, love & glory.

Indigenes was a great film (and my first at The Picture House!). Apart from my being almost concussed from the loud blasts of mortars & grenades & the like, the film really brought out the plight of these men, who are Africans who go to fight for France against the Germans. Once again the colonised-coloniser relationship is at work- the power struggle and the fight for equal rights. How courageous these men were; how loyal to their Motherland. I wonder if the same can be said for us.

Interestingly enough, I was probably the only female in the theatre. But I enjoy watching films about war. They evoke so much pathos with the struggles and suffering faced, so much pride at the human spirit of perseverance, & are so much more realistic than Hollywood remakes and fluffy flicks. And did I mention it's a French film? j'adore. (:
