and as she walks
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am Yours

It was the first day of the new term and I disappointed myself. I actually managed to anger a classmate, act in a Literature skit and get stressed over the class again. whoo.
I think there's more than that but anyway.
I shall do better tomorrow. JIA YOU.
I invented a new movie recently. Actually, I'm always making up television series and movies, ever since I was really young(wishful thinking?). Maybe I'll be a scriptwriter before I get married and have three(or four) kids and become a famous writer. That's a pleasant thought :)
Before I get carried away though, I think this movie is fantastic. Ha, I tried narrating it to LYT and Xin Yu at Malay class today, but I think they weren't really interested. I haven't got the middle part settled yet though...
By the way, MSN is not working for me now, so LYT, that's why I'm not online.
So I was pondering on my lack of success today, and I realised I'm not really a success kind of person. As in, I'm not cut out to be the world's definition of success. But of course, we(or more accurately, I) discussed about success before, and we know we all have different standards of success for ourselves.
But there are people cut out for success all around me, and they show it in their artistic talents and amazing exam results. And I've never seen some of this people even pay attention in class before.
Fairness is not a virtue of the world.
My success is to win a Nobel Prize for my writing. WHOA.
I can't believe I just typed that.
Moving on: Today's topic? Hm. What about
peace?
My mother just told a story, about this army that was being chased by their enemies, but managed to escape in the end. Why? The captain or whatever person in charge ordered those wounded to take the last of the bombs and hold off the enemies while the rest of the army ran for it. In this decision, the army sacrificed all those wounded to save other lives. It seems EVIL and CRUEL and COLD-BLOODED to me, but from the big view, the in-charge made a choice. He sacrificed those who would have slowed the army down, and escaped with those who were most likely able to fight again.
So, what does this have to do with peace?
Peace requires sacrifices. And if the situation persists, war might be needed to regain peace. Like, causing the storm to bring the calm.
Well. That certainly turned the depression up a notch.
I'm off to hope dearly that my essay was submitted in the essay competition.
Til next time~
