I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
well, i have absolutely no idea why my blogger account is in chinese when i log into net with my IE ( i usuali used my firefox, but it hung just coz i attempted to uplaod 2 photos! im not sure wats wrong, but surely is my comp).
anyway, thats digressing. not wat i wanted to say. i just want to, before i keep archiving my complaints and unhappy happenings into my "memory bank", i thot i shld learn to count my blessings! yes.. i think this is wat i lack many times. God has always been good to me! He is good! :) think i have always been looking at the cynical side of life. though it does not really reflects the outlook of my life, but somehow, when it comes to penning down thoughts, all those not-so-happy-ones are those that i usuali write down. so, am i an optimistic one or not? think all of us are schizophrenic in some ways.. haha..
anyway, i just want to give all the thanks and honour to my Father in heaven for my results! yes, i forgot to post abt it. ha. i got my results abt 2 weeks ago, and i cleared everything including the maths that i have been flunking for the past 2 years!! hallelujah! i got a 2nd lower overall for my honours and im real happy abt it coz that is what im aiming for. y only aim for 2nd lower? coz with my results for my 1st and 2nd year, i knew thats no way for anything higher, so 2nd lower is good enuf for me, afterall, i only did put in effort for my last year and alas, only for the last 3 or 4 mths before my exams. i knew the results is from God, is not my own. though i wld like to say i did put in effort and so claimed the credit, but so did my frens, and they even more so! my effort quotient is not even half of theirs. im someone who is known to skip class and not hand in assignments. in fact, there are 2 units this yr which i only attended half of wat is required. so, i noe i really dun deserve it.
since young i have been blessed with relatively good results... without hardly any effort of mine. even my elder sis always comes complaining to me that she had to study so hard and yet i always got better results than hers. and i always purposely picked subjects that are known to be difficult to pass.. and i always managed to pass them! (not with fantastic results of coz, coz i dun really study...haha).. exceptions will be MATHEMATICS!! well, this does not always happened though, the 1st blow that came to me was my Os... but well, thats for another time... but i believe God always has a plan and purpose for everything. :)
yar, im not the mugging type..and never will be.. in fact, i told my frens that the grace for studying is finished. im done with studying. haha. but interestingly enuff, i love reading! nothing is better than a good book. haha. anyway, im digressing again.
well, wats the whole point of my whole entry? learn to count my blessings. heh
