i just realised that there is no way i can finish studying for prelims.

i mean, i knew that already. i just didn't know it. for starters, remember those three lit books i never got around to finish reading? well the exam's on wednesday and i'm no closer to finishing them. (my mother grouches, why don't you stop reading all your other books and read your texts?? ahh.) i'm spotting for econs, but i haven't quite finished studying what i'm spotting. unsurprisingly. as for math, woohoo. i might as well bring a jacket into the exam hall and take a three-hour nap.

oh well, enough of self-pity. my ss class said i should be aunty melissa by now (because i always insist on being called jiejie melissa), but i pointed out that i'm not an adult yet, and as such am entitled to my own youth, thank you very much. i think they bully me more now that they know i'm only eighteen =( or maybe i'm just a lot less strict than i was, being so wrapped up with my own minuscule life and all. had to resist the urge to tease one of my kids about his recent haircut - it's hilariously short - on the grounds that i'm still growing out my own hair. heh.

first corinthians chapter thirteen. isn't it funny how you have to remind yourself to love others? how it doesn't come naturally (at least when you're dealing with certain people), and it's certainly not easy. and i always wondered about the phrasing of that verse about how the greatest of these three (faith hope and love) is love. where then, do you put faith and hope, if they are beneath love? of what importance are they? and how do you judge, anyway? how do you measure faith or hope or even love? love has become just another four letter word, hasn't it?

and ling, baby - laugh together, cry together, die together. call me when you finally learn to ride a motorbike. i'll get my own helmet, thanks.
