Ive been so de-motivated to work lately..
I dont work as efficiently anymore..unless there is something due the next day..
Time just flies now..before i know it..its the next morning..ready for another day of the same routine..
It gets really boring and tiring..
I havent been able to see you in a long time..
Though we may not be far apart in terms of distance..but not being able to see you for such a long time period feels like im so far away from you..
I hope sooner or later..something will kick me in the head and start getting me motivated =]

Holding you close to me..
Is all i need..
Feeling your heartbeat..
Makes me feel soft and weak..
Sometimes you may frown..
Or sometimes even feel down..
Things don't always go our way..
But my feelings for you..will never sway..
Never doubt that one day
I will turn my back away..
My heart is where you are..
And has been from the start..
There are many people out there like me..
Searching for the jewel that will set us free..
I think i've found mine..
And i swear..its divine..
Thank you for being there when i need you..
Even when times were cold and cruel..
Having you sitting beside..
Gives me strength to take on any fight..
Everything has stopped rhyming..
But im sure with the right timing..
Things will come swiftly..
Dont rush..and do things too quickly..
Thank you for giving me a chance..
Hopefully even for a dance..
I hope when you close your eyes and see..
The person you will see is me =]

Some days..
Some days..you just don't feel like working..
Today mum stopped me from playing dota..
I feel torn apart..disorganised..like part of me is missing..
I feel like Spectre..using my ulti..around the map..don't know where i belong..
Also found out my parents are going overseas again in a few weeks..
Argh..
This constant unsettlement is really pissing me off..
Seems like I'm pretty much going to be spending..half of this year with my parents..
Finally being able to settle back home..i hear this kind of news..i want to tear the house apart
I've also got an assignment for Studies of Religion i'm supposed to write..
"Compare and contrast Anglican churches to the Pentecostal Hillsong Church"
Maybe some of you think this is..just another assignment..but i think it's ridiculous
I can truly say i hate studies of religion..
Its putting religion in words..into human logic..
I think there are stuff where words cant describe..and i believe religion is one of them..
Trying to explain the miraculous? Argh..might work for some people..but definitely not me..
I picked studies of religion because i had to by the way..because i picked an extension course and needed another unit..but hopefully i'll be able to drop it..
Besides that..havent seen many of my friends lately..
Its really ticking me off..
I forgot a friends birthday..i feel like a wreck..i used to be good friends with that person..but somehow it fell apart..i had using the sentence "used to be"
I hope as time passes..things will get slightly better..i guess being caught up with school and stuff is also contributing..but still isnt a good enough reason..i know its my fault..but i dont know how to fix it..
On the other hand..
Its quite bizarre how much you can miss a person..
Just one week away from you and feels like its been ages..
Seems like a lot has been going on for both you and me..and i hope things are getting better on your side..
Well another new week is about to begin..and im just going to get ready to take it head on..
Hope you guys will have a great week as well..

Define: Love
Well for the past few days i've been reading the book "Boy Meets Girl". The book really got me thinking about a few things and i think its great. If you guys have the time, take the time to check it out. And through the course of reading it..i've been trying to define the word..love..
So i went surfing..
On the internet ( Classic joke ) and found all these..definitions..quotes..all seemed really great..but i wasnt satisfied..
All the definitions were somehow..secular..and very..brief and just slicing the surface..
As i read on..a bible verse ran along the lines..
Yes..its the cliche line..everyone knows..even those non-christians..but this time..it felt different..
----------------------------------------------
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13
----------------------------------------------
Patient..enduring and bearing all things..
Kind..rejoicing in truth and does not rejoice in unrighteousness..
It doesnt brag and isnt arrogant..
Does not seek for its own good...and doesnt take into account past sufferings and wrong doings..
How many of us..think about that..when we think about "Love"?
This morning as i finished watching "A walk to remember" i saw..a mirror reflection of the verse..on a persons character..
Eventhough he later found out the girl had cancer..and was going to die..he stood beside her..
Eventhough his friends teased him for going out with her..and even lost some of his friends because of her..he stood beside her..
Eventhough the guy used to be an ass..the girl didnt take account for the past wrong doings..
But more so..reminds me of the love of my parents..
Since mothers day is just..2 hours away..especially reminds me of my mothers love..
She never ceases to use actions to show her love for me..sometimes i take them for granted..but after reading this definition..it just hit me..
I know deeply..despite constantly being a pain to her..she'll still love me..
Despite causing her trouble and discomfort..she'll still love me..
Tell your mothers you love her..because she loves you..and treasure her like a jewel..because you are her jewel
Happy mothers day

Over-use of the F word..and the L word..
Words like F**K and LOVE come out so naturally out of our mouths these days..
And many of these times we don't think before we say it..it just comes out unconsciously..and whats worst..most of us don't know what it actually means..
Today at the train station..there was those St Gregory people -_- those kids are hopeless by the way..never send your kids to st gregory's..
As usual they were swearing their heads off..f**k you, f**k this, f**k head, f**king b*tch..you get the drift..so because my ipod ran out of battery..and i was a bit tired to read..i started to think..
I was told before..the word f**k is a slang term for intercourse..which is used..when your..having..sex..
So i thought..most of the sentences with the f**k in it don't make sense..like f**king hell..what does that mean?..
Ok sure..it..probably feels good saying it..you might feel your all hard and gangster..might even make you look cool..but..from my point of view..i ask..why?..
Fine, ive used the f word on many occasions in my life..and i've never really thought about it..mainly because..Malaysia gave me a bad education..and thats why im a wreck..but now..its different..
Some people may argue..the f word is a way to express..anger..or distress..
The Oxford dictionary contains 171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 obsolete words..of all words..choose..f**k?..
I think its rude to use in public..and mainly because most of St Greg kids are ugly..if any other school..i might consider the options..
But now..here today..im making a decision..to cut down..or even..stop saying the f word..because personally..i think its meaningless..i am officially..replacing the f word..with either friggin..fish..or..other words that start with f..because..i know there are other ways to express our emotions..and using a vulgur language isnt a way =]
In your head right now..you might be thinking..f**k you elliot..but thats ok =] God loves you..
Speaking of love..how many times have we said i love you..without knowing what it actually means?..
Of all 171,476 words..i think love..is one of the strongest..
We all say oh..i love dota..i love chocolate..i love..something..i guess..thats alright..because in the english language..there arent many expressive techniques we can use..
But here im talking about..the phrase "i love you"
After hearing it in all those hollywood movies and others saying..the meaning has been lost..and has become numb to us..
I personally don't really understand..what it really means to love someone yet..but i've read many definitions in books..or examples..and come to know that those words are sincere..and an expression of true commitment..
True commitment..wow..
Sincere..wow..
So basically i don't know much about it..ive made my own definition..not sure if its right though..but its in my own dictionary..
I will say.."i love you" to the guy/girl..hopefully a girl..only when i am willing..to jump in a take a bullet for her..and even die for her..because thats what i think..when it comes to true commitment..

Devotion
Eveyday we learn something new..sometimes purposely..or unconsciously..
Yesterday i was talking to a friend about my addictions..dota..etc..and she said something really important to me..
She told me that i shouldnt be addicted to all these things..but i should actually be addicted to God..
Now for non-christians out there..you might not know what i'm talking about..but for the christians..i'm sure most of us are on the same boat..
After talking to her..i signed off msn..and immediately opened my bible..and started getting into the word..
Read about "the great commision" and how many people out there want to do God's work and spread his word but complain there arent any opportunities..
So often do we think going on mission trips mean going overseas to some 3rd world country..helping the poor and sharing God's word..
Well atleast many times..thats my impression of mission trips..eventhough again and again we're reminded..i forget =[
And AGAIN i was reminded last night..but i'm guessing this time is different..
Mark 16:15..Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature..
"Embrace your smaller world through earnest prayer as you consider lost individuals in your family. neighborhood and workplace"
I always dream about big things..like going overseas to like..China or something to make a change..but what i read yesterday..talked about..making big chances..in my own social circle..
And that really got me thinking..
This led on to me thinking about a sermon i heard awhile ago.."God will give you big things to do..when He can trust you with the small things He gives you"
My conclusion from last nights devotion..to share the gospel with my social circle..before i start working on "the great commision" =]
So to continue my mood..this morning i've been running through my playlist of christian music..and got particularly stuck to the song called " Devotion" and if your speakers are turned on and your internet is able to load fast enough..the should be the song playing in the background now..lyrics are on the right hand corner..
This particular verse really caught me..
---------------------------------------------------------------
When you stand the tall trees and mountains bow
When you speak the fiercest of oceans is still
And I see the sinner seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees
---------------------------------------------------------------
So for fellow christian brother and sisters out there..i urge you to do the same..spread the Lord's name..to all nations..starting with your friends..and families..
