a treasure trove: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/world_book_club.shtml
ben okri's voice is soo rich and beautiful. and arundhati roy is as always, alive and captivating. philip pullman too, so catching. unfortunately, atwood has the most boring voice in the world (no surprise? lol)
i love the way writers can talk pretty.


I-want
I want many things
(of fickle and passing nature)
Shoes to flash around
(not heels or wedges,
black coverall shoes)
A dress to swish at my knees
(drained brown with black tussles
ugliness of the cloth)
Earrings that will catch the light when I move
(but after long darkness will burn the hole it inhabits
holes stretched with age)
And a hairdo to crown it all
(dreadlocks of 5 weeks old
trained to separate)
Yes, what I want is the look
(looks dipleasing to you, she and he)
That everyone else seems to have
(but only belongs to me)

Othello is tragic. makes you want to jump at Othello and show him reason and Desdemona's love. but maybe he's so blinded he would laugh at you and say you lie like all other Venetian women? hmmm. and Iago's evil is sharp, biting, slices under your skin like a knife and points to where you hurt most. Mrs. Lofthouse is right; its a play which is woven together with rich, dark threads and every now and again you see the gold thread inside.

Lord, I need to turn to you more than ever. stress cannot order my day or my emotions. thankyou that your always there, always true, always loving. even though i have been prioritising everything wrong... bring me closer, back to you.
Being prone to sickness, we hurt. Being mortal, we die. Pressure wears us down. Anxiety gives us ulcers. People intimidate us. Criticism offends us. Disease scares us. Death haunts us. What's the answer? 'God is very present...in trouble' (Psalm 46:1). Never doubt in the dark what God told you in the light. He is with you day by day on your pilgrimage; His unsearchable mind, working in concert with His unfathomable will, is carrying things out under His sovereign control. When we hit rough spots, our tendency is to feel abandoned, yet the opposite is true, for at that moment we are more than ever the object of His love and concern.

apathy is not just annoying, it can lead to loss of lives. the sierra leone, after a decade of bloody war and much more is finally having elections. finally, something is being done about the blood diamonds issue and the UN did do stuff. yay.

now the hmong refugees is another atrocity of humanity. and just as serious and just as sad. life may suck at times, here in singapore, but we have life and the understanding of what it is to live as humans. some have been treated as so much less than humans for so long, death must seem sweet. no i cant begin to imagine what it must be like, but trying to understand is at least bridging that ignorance to an extent and cannot be in vain.

this is important. http://refugeesg.wordpress.com/ (thanks to those who are doing this- keep it up!)

"Trust in the Lord with all your strength and lean not on your own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight"
thankyou for giving me this word to encourage me Lord, you gave me reason to do this and you will give me strength and wisdom to redo it.
you blessed my jct results in ways i didnt expect and i can trust you will bless my future in ways i cant understand.

your grace has found me just as i am
empty handed but alive in your hands
singing majesty, majesty,
forever i am changed by your love
in the presence of your majesty

festival of praise was great!
i like this smiley 8-) its a squishy eyed smiley. haha 8-)
