I've been zoning out alot this past few days. My mind just seems to go blank and I can't think, or absorb what people are trying to say. Like I'm in a daze. Constant, more frequent headaches that come and go like a wave of nausea too. Dun wanna think it's big, and make it big. At least, life's still beautiful and I still appreciate everything, if even more!
There's Christmas service and it's as beautiful as ever. So overwhelming(including the crowd!). There is sort of like a calm stillness in the atmosphere....hard to describe. I just want to absorb the beauty and peace, to soak in His presence. Didn't take any photos but one myself. Gave up wanting to capture the moment. =)
I love the candlelights parts best, and God for creating the moment.

Christmas is coming!
But oh well....
some one's leaving for Thailand in like, half an hour time. I feel pretty sad and lonely. Quite a hypocrite eh, me. I take back my words, I'm so dependent on people. Sigh...gonna miss you so so much. =(
Brought my dog to farmway and got her hair shaved. Then I was emo-ing while waiting an hour plus plus for her. I wish you were there. To let April run free and chase her together. To throw her into the dog pond and watch her struggle. And then bath and towel dry her together. Man................and it's not even as if you've departed for Thailand already. *Slap me wake up* Anyway, so April is all cuddly and squeezing with me again now that's she botak. Sticking where ever I go.
Haha.
And miss you.

I saw a meteorite yesterday walking home.
And I thought how much things you've never known.
But I'm not even gonna say anything anymore.
All the secrets to myself, I shall do it on my own.
I really do
hate you; because I
loved you first.

Where's the will to defy the 'impossible'?
Where's the joy to soar to greater heights?
Where's the
perseverance to keep on trying?
Where's the endurance to overcome the physical?
Where's the mindset of I can do it?
Where's the control of emotions?
So tired.....and I feel so shitty,
so lousyThen now I see the house and I feel like it's a mess.
I feel no belonging there, just no homeliness.
I seem to live in a different world,
so faraway, so different and alone.
I smile widely, laugh and make a clown of myself,
bringing joy to people and yet feeling all the hurt in me.
But I feel so empty and weird inside,
just an outer facade.
Shed it off in my room,
a place that's most familiar...
yet getting less familiar too.There seems no escape from this deep confusion.
How profuse my feelings are...how lost...
Even I don't understand..

Legend has it that in 18th Century Europe, any public display of Christianity was forbidden. No crosses or Bibles were allowed and Christians were greatly oppressed.
One old man, a candy maker by profession, was particularly distressed by this. He loved the Lord with all of his heart and couldn't stand to not share that love with the world. His heart especially went out to the children when Christmas drew near. He prayed to God to show him some way to make Christmas gifts for the children which would teach them the story of Christ.
So came the candy cane.
The candy cane is in the shape of a
shepherd's staff to show us Jesus is our Shepherd and we are His flock. A sheep follows his own shepherd, knows his voice and trusts him. It knows that it is totally safe with him. The sheep will follow no other shepherd but their own.
Upside down the candy cane was a "J", for Jesus. It was made of hard candy to remind us that Christ is the rock of our salvation. The wide red stripes on the candy cane represent the blood He shed on the cross for each one of us so that we can have eternal life through Him.
The white stripes on a candy cane represented the virgin birth, sinless life and purity of our Lord. Even though He was tempted just as we are, He never sinned.
The three narrow red stripes on candy canes symbolized that by His stripes, we are healed; and the Trinity - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Before the crucifixion Jesus was beaten; the crown of thorns was placed on His head; His back was raw from the whip. We are healed by those wounds. He bore our sorrows through his pain.
The flavoring in the candy cane was peppermint, which is similar to hyssop. Hyssop is of the mint family and was used in Old Testament times for purification and sacrifice just as Jesus sacrificed His life for ours.
The old candy maker told them that when we break our candy cane it reminds us that Jesus' body was broken for us. If we share our candy cane and give some to someone else we love, it represents that same love of God has for us. He loved us so much He wants us to spend eternal life with Him...
