Today was a tiring day. Played soccer with Matt, Song and Song's brother and his friends... It was quite fun. I think I got a little bit too competitive. Played quite aggressively. :P Scored 2 goals. I headed the first in from a cross from Song. The second came after a nice one-two with Song. Hahaha.

I heard some more things about her. I'll have to pray for her even more now. I think God's been preparing me the whole of last week for today. I think I'm not as affected as I could have been... Which is good. Another layer is being peeled off. Its painful but I thank God that its a time for me to learn and change. I've decided to stop thinking about her. I mean I'll try... This few months, there have been so many trials. But I thank God for them because after I successfully get through one, it makes me stronger and He helps me prepare for the next one.
I wished I'd taken more notes during sermon today. Reverend Tony Tan was inspiring today. In one of his points, he talked about submitting to God. He said, "When you submit to God, you stop asking 'Why?' and start asking 'When?' "
When will I be ready? When will the pain leave?

I think the reason I needed to stop loving her is finally here. Its sad but at least I can move on. God will provide for everything. I don't need to worry about rubbish...

If I have to fight to gain it, I'll have to spend my whole life fighting to keep it.
