unrelated jumbles

in a .... pensive mode. i guess. no wish to start work on any of my 3 essays due nx week. First things first, the biggest burden this past week and the greatest (effective) barrier to sleep has been aki design submission, which is over! i heave a sigh of relief, that is choked halfway down my throat.

feel like being in a rambling mode, which is all ive been today, if i did talk. had a relaxing time with xuezhen, sini, and the guys today at IMM. DAISO rocks! its a haven of the most useless (read: cute) things. good for fuelling creativity. junk. haha, was on a high after submission (which was at 4pm. i left my house at 4.15pm) high as in a drugged, drawling groggyness and stupidity. haha i hope they didnt take pictures. hazwan looked like he got punched.

ive come up with a list of things aki people can do / say when they meet:
1. bitch about tutors
2. compare the number of hours they've gone without sleep
3. compare bruises and cuts
4. bad complexion. (unless you're keyang)
5. go kukus after submissio. (xuezhen you really must master your same hand/leg march. and STOP giving me static!)
6. buy each other gagging sweets the size of mothballs. so huge and indissolvable we couldnt really talk for 15 minutes. courtesy of yang.
7. sit down. cos legs are wobbly after through-the-night drafting sessions.
8. observe the way the sliding doors/ walls/ overhead bridges /shopping malls are constructed.
9. play with AUTO the CAD. cat. as in, real cat! that sneaked into our studio and has been camping there ever since.
10. nothing. just stone it. either you're tired / busy / brainstorming / contemplating the passing of near-death experience / mental designing

haha. press on! two more weeks and its the holidays youve been DYING for. things to do during the hols!
1. check out upper cross street accessory parts
2. practice drawing- sketches etc
3. finish reading that book on the shelf
4. swim! bake! run! blade!
5. learn how to sew up something?
6. KOREA!
... okay this list definitely needs to be expanded. maybe i'll write a storybook. hahahaa. and find a pseudonym like lisa elto or freddy cadbury.

n here's something i got out from my ODJ devotional. it's nice when God speaks.

Forget the dot. there is no dot. Some of us imagine God's plan for our lives being a central red dot on the dartboard of life. The area around the red dot is the gray zone where filth begins to creep in. Step out of line, and you're messed up. Out of the dot. Does God have an individual specific plan for each of us? A specific church to attend? A specific person to marry? A specific job to pick?

And the truth is: there is no dot. If you live inside the perimeters of God's will for you, the rest of the choices are up to you. And that's a relief because many of us have blown it enough earlier on in life to be off the dot. God did not dig some ditch around the red dot and let us fall in like dead birds as soon as we disobey. the original script for Prov 3:5-6 does not say "trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths."

it says, "In all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make your paths straight (or plain)." If we open the way for him to be in our lives, he makes my choices more apparent. Where are you leaning? On whom, and on what? Questions i ask myself.
