Buying IKEA beds? Think Again

Hi everyone this is a news flash for IKEA wooden beds.... If you happened to enjoy stuff from IKEA, this is one item you should never ever consider to buy. To illustrate my point, this is what you will be sleeping on. Of course it didn't come that way... but less than 1 year it broke off one by one. Hopefully you guys are wise enough not to buy this. Please...for your own safety. DON'T BUY IKEA BEDS!

Blade and blaze

The clash of steel admist a wild battle,

Deep and loud the song resounds,

Many fall prey and let suffer the little,

And cries follow the sound of bombs that fall by the thousands.



To whom shall we owe this blade and blaze,

Why should heaven should let continue this carnage of craze,

Are the powers of good a fleeting vapor?

That the hellish nightmares of war they do not succor.


Lost in a blade and blaze of eternal torment,

Shall we see no more of good's amend?

Where shall the hope shine from?

If not from the cross where Jesus died on

Thought of the day.

Buried in these hands a face of pain,

To whom is the prayer of solace made?

Are they not to you, Oh God of heaven

With a heart so burdened.



Sweet are the waters which You lead me by,

Gentle are the streams which You brought me to,

Green are the pastures which I lie upon,

As I seek Your face to revive my strength.



Let Your joy be my strength,

Oh Lord of heaven.

God's grace

End of the semester.

Man.....Time is flying so fast! It's already the end of the 5th semester at HELP. It's worrisome that time is just zipping past. Sometimes I really feel that I am not Carpe Dieming (seize the day) as much as I want to.

In another week it will be finals once again. I am really worried about how I would do. Dr. Ng discussed anchors in life with us today under the spirituality dimension of the multi-dimensional perspective. Anchors are actually items in life that are important to an individual. Something that you've bound yourself to e.g God, Friends, Yourself, Your parents.

I was dwelling on this thought for a little bit too much and I thought to myself. Is the reason why I am performing with mediocre results in my exams are due to the fact that there is so much pressure on me that I suddenly black out? I really wonder....A recent chat with Su Vian Helped me identiy that I need to address the issue of me panicking and acting out in exams. I noticed on several occassions that when I lose focus because of time constraints or excitement. I generally perform very very badly.

I guess it speaks also of my life in general. Do I really anchor myself to things that matter for life? Is life worth the things that I am investing it in? Truthfully, on a whole I would say that I've not anchored myself to things that matter. It's one thing to write here on a blog where you have no judgments, it's another to take action and force yourself to break of it. I do hope that God has heard this prayer of mine.

Flavor of the week

How dreadful is this fatigue?
That man tire and not reap,
Why should life be this opaque,
That one should tarry but not reap.

The spirit to strive fades to nothing slowly,
As one continues to ponder the weight of life,
So heavy this burden to bear completely,
Upon the small shoulders of a servant of life.

Oh the eye of heaven shines not over this day,
For it's rays are blocked by clouds of hopelessness,
In the den I rest my heart without ray,
Asking when will the ray of hope reshine my bleakness

Bad omens?

Lately I've been having some weird a** dreams. I saw myself beat up pretty badly by someone whom I was particularly close to.

It's not your average battle. Imagine bruises on the eye and blood flowing from my mouth. The strange thing was I didn't fight back as if to take a sort of punishment. Though I sometimes doubt that something to this magnitude is impossible of happening, I've seen somethings that make me think otherwise. Makes me think whether I should continue in certain pursuits in life. Sometimes the price of screwing up is way too high and it's a price I am not really willing to pay. Uh.... Heck.....

To speak of the dread that I had to go through today is another bloody hell. Geez.....two things and I am already running on dry..... Wonder where's the resiliance I talk so much about sometimes.

Long day and one longer yet to come week.
