Psalm 27

Of David.

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—
    whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
    of whom shall I be afraid?

2 When the wicked advance against me
    to devour[a] me,
it is my enemies and my foes
    who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
    my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
    even then I will be confident.

4 One thing I ask from the Lord,
    this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
    all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
    and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
    he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
    and set me high upon a rock.

6 Then my head will be exalted
    above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
    I will sing and make music to the Lord.

7 Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
    be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
    Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
    do not turn your servant away in anger;
    you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
    God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
    the Lord will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, Lord;
    lead me in a straight path
    because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
    for false witnesses rise up against me,
    spouting malicious accusations.

13 I remain confident of this:
    I will see the goodness of the Lord
    in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
    be strong and take heart
    and wait for the Lord.

i give up. i do not understand his communication and we are of a complete different frequency. and the age gap? nah...

also doing my research on many topics i am interested in. like cancer, world history, food and nutrition, psyhology, news around the world, slangs of other cultures and anything that picques my interest. glad my job is something i chose because i like and can do.

 your life's gotta be more exciting than mine.

tired of thinking

Yes I would admit that there was three months in my calendar this year (3 and a half to be precise) whereby I completely slacked in a job. All I did every working day including Saturday was to read news on cnn and bbc. and of course other countries' news. so yea of course I wasn't confirmed on that job. as in get confirmation.

training at dragon-boating

oh man i never knew that liking someone can make you pray and trust God so much more than you ever did before. improved growth spurts in your prayers life - how else do you get it? (except when you have a crush or something)

aside from that, i have no idea why i actually went yesterday for pub crawl because i was actually undecided about going at the start. then i decided to go because maybe i could actually meet people and chat.

but of course this 'solving of all fears and insecurities' was done completely with prayer as going through God is far more accurate because even the guy you choose to like or fell in love with / have big crush on may be not the right one for you, so prayer does help.

full workout with american dragonboat team today. (the guy is not in same team). i am also kinda reddish on the upper arms and face. haha. was fun eh. they have a very american sense of humour. duh, what other type of humour?

things i learnt abt rushing around and caffeine

i realised about caffeine and rushing around

1) Tea with milk and ice (teh bing) makes me awake for 7 hours.
2) Rushing around after 8.30pm makes me awake too /wake up a few times at night.
3) english breakfast / assam / black / earl grey tea without milk keeps me awake for 8-9 hours from the time i drink it at night
