'Hi' and verbal diarrhoea Hi blogger it has been awhile since I've gratified my inner desire for verbal diarrhoea 8) Where have all the good men gone - I wonder if my (not so) faithful readers have abandoned this webspace ): I was just reading through some of the earlier posts it dawned on me I had completely trampled the trust you lot put in me to constantly update about my life in Ingland - eventually boycotting the idea altogether. Well not to say that is without reason; initially in the hype of all things refreshing and exciting I really wanted to describe in detail those captivating moments but in the nature of things refreshing and exciting, time waits for no man before I know it my days were packed with fun-filled activities that leaves little time or mental capacity to relive them. Soon after things got into a routine, work started coming in, International Christian Union came into the picture..and the rest is history. So here I am, close to 4 months into the year of 2011 - still as refreshed, but refreshed in a different way - praise God for that! I don't know what made me visit good old blogger again. This which had facilitated all my rants all this years, this which I spent much time decorating/redecorating and at some point developed my cryptic writing (: Was this a phase of life? Is this a part of me I have forsaken in search of greater things? Can't say that its not.. I reckon circumstances are more enriching now in ways I never would have imagined that I don't really see the need to spend huge amounts of time on this space.. So I think I just wanted to say hello. Sentimental much. What goes on from here? Hmmm I don't know, but the only thing I can count on is my daily bread; the grace He gives for me to live day by day. Thank You Lord that You are real, that Your grace is sufficient for me. I just want to live out your ways in action, not in words. And this Kingdom will know no end And its glory shall know no bounds For the majesty and power Of this Kingdom's king has come

God is the strength of my heart and portion forever

I realise I don't know where all the time that I have on my hands go to. I need to stop talking to people!! But I want go around visiting though. Tough balancing act.

'A breath of fresh air' would be apt. I hear new perspectives here I see young people with ideals which is rare I see the level of independence in people's thinking and I admire them for that. There's also this level of chemistry with certain people that I've never experienced before and I really really treasure it. Is this what it means to be overseas, this elusive ideal? I feel really blessed and I thank God for it. I pray God'll use me to touch their lives in any little way I can..

Anyway, quick update again, time is slipping out of my hands sigh.

18/10
Went for lecture, crappy introductory ones yet still so competitive I can't comprehend the reason for that, other people seem really into the whole thing already! Really tiny room for 180 people and mind you it's not tiered. Anyway, hung around with friends then headed for AEROBICS;D Cool remixed music and great workout. So going again.

19/10
Classes as usual, more introductory lectures, talked a lot throughout the day then headed for DANCESPORT at night. Love it.

20/10
Free day! The morning was the usual, getting breakfast out of the way, tried to do some reading, headed out to town w the sporeans for groceries walk walk walk by the time we came back it was 5 plus pm. Time is short when you enjoy yourself. I love grocery shopping hahah I can get many cheap things all at once. I think 18 pounds for groceries per week is reasonable. That means I get to save..32 pounds per week. Sounds like a plan;D

21/10
2 lectures today, went to library to scare myself that everyone has been studying and choped books. And I'm not going to be embarassed by that. Go Singaporeans!! So gonna renew them everyweek nyeheh. Talked to people as usual. Gotta stop that. And then for the highlight of the day, AKBAR'S for singsoc dinner! Awesome. The naan was bigger than 2 faces put together. It was GOOD. Took a loooooong walk back and my sister came:D

22/10
The day is not over yet but it was a nua day today;D just had one tutorial but that was enough to intimidate me, everyvody was imba. I only managed to contribute certain things. Oh well, hope that it'll pick up.. Heading to youth chinese christian fellowship to check it out later.. I'm going to study now.

Hmmm I vowed not to make my blog a daily log of my activities but it seems that's inevitable now I used to get annoyed reading blogs which consisted of daily activities like I want depth! Oh well. But to be honest I don't really read blogs too lol. I have to keep all you people updated :D

2010-10-19T00:59:00.000-07:00

Praise the Lord O my soul and forget not all his benefits

HALLUJUAH!! Hi world, sorry for the absence, have been out a lot and rather busy but I'll just give an overview of what I usually do in York.

I ever thought that my blog would serve as a diary documenting my life in York but seems like it's not working out lol but at least it hasn't been a log for emotional/distressful thoughts which comes with homesickness which thankfully hasn't and isn't going to set in:D Praise the Lord! God is real and living He answers prayers He places such good people in my life and around me I thank God for them!

Anyway, basically what I do here besides lots of walking is that I head to other sporeans houses for meals/chillaxing sessions which really is enjoyable :D so far I've been to huanting's, jessie's, jon's (which by far has the best meal), marissa's and I held a couple of meals myself too. Awesome. Ytd I had 2 lectures, went to collect my textbooks and went for the library tour then went for aerobics lesson:D AEROBICS IS SO FUNNNN!!! And one, and two to the left to the right lol.. today I'll have one lecture then grocery shopping then dancesport at night:D

I walk to town I walk to Morrisons I walk to my department I walk everywhere. It takes about 15 mins from Alcuin College (where I'm staying) to Psych building.

OH ya I have lots of reading to do for Psych! apparently some of them has taken Psych for A levels so I have to read up to catch up with them. Sigh.

Hope all ofyou back there are doing fine man, love yall xxxxxx

Mang2.

So far so good. My worries have been put to rest and I've just been overwhelmed with a deep sense of gratefulness all the nice people I've met so far in this place. I really thank God for these encounters, God answers prayers! And for the wonderful news which filtered in earlier this week. Congrats jiejie :D

I've learnt to take it easy.. Vague desperation for friends seems to be raging around here. Bar crawls and what not.. Perhaps my no-alchohol stint is an excuse for not venturing out/a cover for the lack of courage? At least I've been to B Henry's. But I just think its not the only direction to go. I do sense some postitive change coming along so I'm just very grateful for that.

I don't know if any of you are reading this BUT WHEN I GET BACK I'M GONNA SPEAK FLUENT KOREAN :D yay!!! It's my dream come through. Or more like fantasy.

I've met a Keanu Reeves lookalike 4 times!! And a HK dude for like 3 times. Alright massive fangirling moment.

Psych building, nice mentor, korean lesson, CU BBQ, nice guys from the other flat

Hello Hello

Lunch

Seafood linguine!

A walk out around the neighbourhood..

Lazy to rearrange photos. Breakfast before church.

My incredibly warm bedroom slippers:D

Shagged

An update.

First post from the UK! I believe I'm jetlagging still. Feeling slpy at 8 pm local time.. And I look like crap. Being here puts you to sleep early in the evening though. Let's see.. Didn't really do much today except helping my sis to pack for London and nua-ing. A lot. My sister's housemates are really nice.

My sister's bed is so soft and sinky!! As in sinkable. Couldn't resist falling to the bed after breakfast. Couldn't miss the rare sunny day so I went down to town for a walk well just to scan the perimeter It was refreshing:D God made the sky so blue! Durham cathedral!! I really love the scenery here! Puts you in a appreciative mood I mean flowers didn't used to be in the right places in Singapore but now they all seem so fitting in this serene smoking-chimney kind of scene.. Came back just in time to call my dear boy. I hope you received my msg though. Then after that it was just nua-ing all the way:D

Yawns I'm so tired thank God for the wonderful day! I'll snuggle up to bed now (:

2010-09-29T03:08:00.000-07:00

:D

Just received the grouping for practical sessions apparently I could possibly be the only Singaporean there, but it's okay! I CAN THRIVE:D

Hmmm already conceptualising the design for my room + buying totally useless decorative pieces. But it's kinda difficult to keep it to a specific colour scheme when you know you have to bring essential storage things but in garish colours -.-

Oh well, getting there! I thank God it has been a fruitful and efficient packing day!

2010-09-27T19:31:00.001-07:00

Foodie gone bad

O: Have been stuffing myself pretty badly recently!! lol tom yam ramen 3 days in a row! I really do love tom yam ramen. The one at westmall is by far my favourite. I've got to eat some of these things once more before I go!!

I'm thankful for the rhema I receive each day, the peace which transcends all understanding.. Lord give me just that extra grace..

I may not get the chance to eat hokkien mee/tom yam noodles again...but only for 9 months.

I may not get to visit Bukit Timah Food Centre with a bunch of friends and a whole table of glorious glorious food ...but only for 9 months.

My room may look small and lonely (than it already is lol) without my presence...but it'll only be vacant for 9 months.

The silence in my house could possible be very loud after we're gone, but then again it'll dissipate after 9 months and you can have all the racket you want!

All I've known is in this neighbourhood, the paths the people the sights the sounds the nuances...I'll be leaving all of them for only 9 months, I'll be back for more :D

And the people whom I treasure so so dearly, you know who you are, it's definitely not farewell yet. Perhaps arranging to meet might be slightly tricky when everyone is everywhere, but trust that it'll work out, I'm choose to be sure that there're overlaps in the window of free time in all of our schedules. Besides, there's always Skype :D It'll take more effort, thats all. nods nods

Getting there.. There arebound to be mixed feelings, but I leave it in God's hands. The friends I make, the decisions I make, the things I do there.. I am very thankful for this opportunity, and by God's grace I'll make it the best experience ever.

Be it unto me/According to Your Word

Going back to the corner/where I first saw you

Hi world. Pardon the absence, have been either incredibly busy holidaying (great fun!!) or extremely lacking in inspiration.

Brought a mind saturated with countless thoughts and a heavy heart to Hong Kong. Was close to the point of feeling that I was crumbling. I wish I wasn't the one having to make the decision. I was hoping I wasn't going to be a heartbreaker. I wished for so many things..some of which I shouldn't be wishing for.

While some things just shouldn't be said. They could potentially be damaging.

Until one day, God has His purposes and perfect timings, when that crucial somebody asked the crucial question did I find some sort of release. I unveiled the secret. For y'all who've heard the story, you know what I'm talking about. Things became easier, I knew my role in all of this I knew the only thing I had to do for the time being was to seek the Lord and wait for an answer.

Soon got caught up in the ecstatic whirlwind of what we call Holiday, and I actually did feel at ease for a bit. Not entirely quietened down to listen out for deeper insight, just hoping things would iron out somehow. There was still another hurdle to overcome

This hurdle and it's associated ramifications prove to be the largest I've ever experienced up to this point in my life. I just pray Lord, that you give me the courage to face up to it. Lord, give me the easy way out It doesn't always have to end up in a certain manner

2010-08-21T00:26:00.001-07:00

No matter the distance/I'll stay on the road to your heart

Wish I could align myself to that certain notion But it's never my call, and I'm glad it never will be.

Wasn't expecting you to broach the topic first. My micro-expressions which gave me away? My unnaturally long delay in response to your spoken fantasies? I doubt you were observant enough anyway.. I sincerely hope it wouldn't be damaging. In this case things left unsaid would only cause them to fester and snowball into unseen mega problem-thoughts which could seriously affect the way I respond. Yet the freedom of space for discussion which comes with asking those pertinent questions could potentially be damaging

I guess honestly answering your queries was the better of the two options.

Wth, it's all about coming clean. Give me the courage to do what I have to

2010-08-16T05:18:00.000-07:00

You'll be watching this word

Have had a surge of thoughts recently, too much to keep in and bursting at the seams. Too much info, leaking out! Reminiscent of J2 days when I really felt the information would seriously leak out through my ears lol but anyway.

We all have established whether an experience was a bad experience depends on which aspect of it you wish to magnify in other words perspective is key. I realised I learned things I didn't consciously think I would.

As hard as I try I realised it could only come from You Lord.

2010-07-27T02:19:00.000-07:00

We love because You first loved us

By the grace of God I passed TP test!!! Woohoo. Thank God for His Providence, God answers prayers! If God could control weather, what more can he not give? No rain, no runny nose (p.s. it started immediately aft my test), peace, friendly/possibly slack examiner hohoho AMEN! For God works for the good of those who love him. Ask and you will get, Seek and you will find. Yes we can claim those promises (:

I'm awfully sensitive to orange triangle plates nowadays. And often reminded I don't own a car lol

Okay before this writer's spark fizzles out.

We all secretly desire to experience genuine love, this amorphous things which is so so glorified (yet so so simple), without realising we always have. This silent warmth permeating our homes.. Undeniably taken for granted most of the time. Mom going out of her way to buy my favorite fruits, a father going back home across the island from the airport to fetch some clothes and shoes for the son and back etc..I'm not sure if I would do that myself. Any expectations of them seem to wane now. Not something profound, just simplistic, logical thinking: All it matters to them is our well-being. Sigh. Thank you Lord for showing us what genuine love is. Thank you for this gift of genuine love.

2010-07-13T01:31:00.000-07:00

Ready. Get set, GO

nyeh heh there are some people like me camping at bbdc website jostling for slots as well. Those sneaky people..lol. I'm so gonna click refresh every min. For the next 2 hours.

Perhaps it takes some, what I call much-needed trauma, to spur that bit of drive. It is a sign that I should treat work a little more seriously now. God is good! Thank God for the job offer :D

The word escapes me but nothing much is really happening in my head lately that is worth blogging about. As since forever my posts have been rather short.. It wasn't like that previously I remember I would rant on and on about not having enough leg space on the bus Bitch about unnamed persons in school or gush over unnamed crushes.. Super (quote) cringeworthy now that I refer to them. Those perhaps were the happiest days of my life (when I still had a decent readership lol NAh just jk:D) Happiest/most joyful and the most carefree days ever!

And then frolicking was soon replaced by higher duties like mugging Posts were then all stress-related zzz Following closely was this almost drastic mellowing which dipped into, well, being cryptic. Hai. Really wish to be young forever

Urp.

Too much of this detox juice. Should have seen it coming that 1 portion costs $20!! Oh well, it has been serving its purpose (:

An unhealthy digression:

Our rather dry alfredo lol. A success! Awesomezzzz

It wasn't until I was confronted with the numbers that I chose to believe I actually was taking it all for granted. Occasional laziness is not an excuse. I would do all I can humanly possible, but more importantly, God will provide! Because He works for the good of those who love him

This is that time of the year when we face much loss, or separation, depending on how your outlook is. Those heavy hearts, forced fronts, avoided topics.. Thrown to the back of our minds. I guess as long as it stays there we would be able to endure and pull through.. AZA FIGHTING!

I wanna be where You are

"Do not merely read the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says." - James 1: 22

Need to take action. Lord, take my all Let not only my mind and emotions but also my body be aligned

Beautiful Lord, Wonderful Saviour
I know for sure
All of my days are held in Your hand
Crafted into Your perfect plan

You gently called me into Your presence
Guiding me by Your Holy Spirit
Teach me O Lord to live all of my life
Through Your eyes

I'm captured by Your holy calling
Set me apart
I know You're drawing me to Yourself
Lead me Lord I pray

Take me, mold me
Use me, fill me
I give my life to the Potter's Hand

Call me, guide me
Lead me, walk beside me
I give my life to the Potter's Hand

2010-07-02T06:01:00.001-07:00

OUTSTANDING.

I'm at the point of utter speechlessness. Ooh new feeling, morose. How do you respond to a frustrating circumstance in which you know you have no right to feel indignant? It's like..swallowing erupting vomit. Yes my mind tells me our rights have been violated, emotions stirred up yet circumstances remain the same. Some great news to end a fairly happy week.

Sigh. But then again. We can only press on! Can't let some worthless rubbish organisation (S_F) bring us down.

HAI. HAIII. HAIIIIII.

Caffeine fix

Had a superb caffeine fix at good old jp. There's nothing like a cappucino with a bagel with cream cheese, butter and jam. I can't put my finger on what exactly captivates me at that outlet I just like the idea that it's tucked away in a corner with that warm dim atmosphere (I guess I'll get qutie a lot of that in UK, the gloomy weather it can be dim for all it wants)

More accurately I think what makes these experiences so priceless is The joy of not having any inhibitions around the people you love, the exhilaration of tasting great coffee. Digression: cafe hazelnut is sooooo good it's hardly sweet at all :D

Frequency is key, isn't it? Something we subconciously evaluate, something we unwittingly consider.

Much as we plan to have fun, I realised Coincidence brings unanticipated delight :D

Alright, ready to leave school in 5..4..3..

omg so need to lose weightttttt flabs everywhere!!!

Random much

PAINAPPLE! Annoying orange suddenly burst into my mind. lol. I have the tendency to repeat myself first on fb then on my blog so, bear with me. And if I really do repeat my stories show me a =.= face and I'll know :D

Clam chowder with pork ribs for lunch (sounds nice?) I've discovered a trouble-free, quick and easy recipe for survival!! Of which I told excitedly to zz. CAMPBELL SOUP. Just add any ingredients you like and cook it in there all's ready within minutes (: Low-carb and flavorful. It's only (and biggest) downside is that its possibly loaded with msg.

Alright, I do have quite a few recommendations for good food I realised I need to offload some of them lest I try them ALL and turn into a fat oily foodie! I really do wish to try them all but I can't eat out all the time either. So go forth and multiply disciples! (whoever bothers reading my blog and coincidentally have an interest in searching for good food) hahah rmb to inform me how it goes

You can try:
SUN WITH MOON Japanese dining and cafe @ Wheelock Place
Mon-Sat: 1500 - 1830 hrs
Sun/PH: 1500 - 1800 hrs
(It's an afternoon tea place, wonderful to visit after a light lunch maybe. If I'm not wrong they're having some promotion now)

2010-06-27T19:36:00.000-07:00

Food galore!

Ribs. Bigger than your face! The meat just slips off the bone.. Goodness! This is intense

Best pasta I've ever tasted. Fresh herbs + wonderful creamy sauce Too touching!

Edit: hmmm makes no sense to have a additional lj and further friends lock it right! lol..

2010-06-27T03:44:00.001-07:00

Channel of love

Is it me or do the photos look a little grainy. Looks like I used the 'glow' function too much!

God wishes to imbue certain values in us through challenges and obstacles we face
Romans 5:3-5 "...we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us."
Most importantly through any challenges which may come my way I pray for the extra grace from Him to deal with them His way and let His will be done

"Amen, praise God. What a marvellous sight."

AND I had the awesomesttttt pasta ever!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not a gourmet and I can only guess they used feta cheese as topping but IT WAS REALLY REALLY REALLY SO TOUCHING!! Can definitely cry and ask why I deserve something so outstanding omg!

2010-06-24T05:48:00.000-07:00

Voyage #6, #7, #8...

Burger Shack

Standard umchio face.

Pulled pork burger. Zz had beef burger. Noteworthy point: the lady gave me a sTudent meal without hesitating! I must have looked youthful hohoho
Verdict: 2.5/5 chopsticks
Sauce was too sweet but thumbs up for the fries (weren't oily and tasted great)!

Korean food @ Concorde Foodcourt

I was chosen to hold the cam. Which means my face would be big in the pic. thanks uhhhh

The spread

Awesomest chicken soup (jjigae?) ever!
Verdict: 4.5/5 chopsticks

The soup didn't taste just like the paste only. I think they used some broth. Noteworthy point: LONG QUEUE.

The miner at udders. Dig dig dig..

This is what you get when friends are kaypo and follow their friend to work. lol no la free cone (:

Goodness take so long to upload!

2010-06-24T02:11:00.000-07:00

Identity crisis

Lol enough HSBC/OCBC surveyors already, poor things! Approaching frosty unfriendly Singaporeans is just about the most difficult and morale zapping job ever..Everytime I head to the interchange these people camp there and trap people with their human-net!! So not fair. And they can't tell who's working and who's not working =.= It's all in the dressing. Or what you're holding i.e. if you hold NTUC bags (quote) CONFIRM tio.

Was absolutely absent-minded this morning Missed one driving lesson! And today's tuition lesson is not sufficient to make up for my losses T.T Oh well, not so much bout the money, but the concern of losing touch eeks! So thankful I'm making progress though. Going to leave it all to God! Once I get my license, all I need, is a car. (Ikr, thats the whole Point)

Off to prepare dinner now! Hmmm I must invent healthy, quick, less time-consuming recipes (tadah~ sandwiches lol) in order to survive in cold gloomy England.. And I must quit the aversion to/phobia of the British accent. Or my sister's semi-British accent.

2010-06-20T05:04:00.000-07:00

And You came to my rescue

It's time to meet the freshers.. To start off on the right track Yes thats what my heart tells me. I don't want to be pretentious either.. I'll just see how it goes. It really depends on how you perceive it. It can either be the excitement of meeting new people or the sianness of possible awkwardness.. I purpose to view it in good light! (:

Edit: Goodness I'll sell my TV if they're going to broadcast Ai everyday from Jul!

2010-06-14T22:16:00.001-07:00

I will follow You

We forget ever so easily who we belong to. I pray God will speak to my heart these 6 days..

There's nothing more that I treasure than a long chat over coffee (: That warm feeling seem more pronounced when thinking back.. Take care, dude!

the 9th day.

2010-06-09T05:59:00.000-07:00

Bring it on!

I haven't felt this bubbling inside for quite some time! When I saw the test dates I literally widened my eyes like what!! God has it all planned out for me now I just have to do my part to learn it properly and by God's grace I WILL PASS ROARRRRR(:

I like walking under the moonlight I know for today it wasn't the usual contemplative mood. Not because of a certain absence which compelled me to take a walk (as I usually would) but rather for me to gather my thoughts My steps were slow yet not heavy; there was just a sense of restedness and a sense of joy For God is good!

And the walk with my dear friend strawberrypink made my evening all the more wholesome (: I CAN'T TAKE IT The warm and fuzzy feeling lol!

I dare say, it's just the 3rd day; so what? I definitely can get through anything that's in my way :D

I feel I'm getting a whole lot sentimental lately

2010-06-08T23:57:00.000-07:00

Now I know

All along I have been looking on in utter disdain Of those words those heart-felt feelings which you unreservedly pour out on your space

I had a thought today. This standard that I have set for myself according to my interpretation of what I see may have been baseless and impractical. I finally found the motivation behind your actions..reasonable.

But mulling over it doesn't add value to it nor does it set it on the pedestal , it only makes it more unbearable!

2010-06-07T06:13:00.000-07:00

SOS she's in disguise

I'll just treat it as a self-improvement course(: Eating right and actually moving my butt more often and trying out more recipes! Don't worry I'll be fine :D

2010-06-02T03:37:00.000-07:00

The worst is over

...but its still resonating in my head. It makes me feel better if I sort out my thoughts

1) #1 blow to Pride: Queasy feeling stems from the notion that I have been rendered helpless under the mercy of the interviewers and that I've appeared to be utterly ignorant (just like any other teenager on the street) now that bothers me.

Oh well, if I appear to be ignorant it'll only be to those 10 people in the room hehe

2) #2 blow: I haven't had the slightest idea what my future career would be like. I don't know exactly what it entails AHH
(Hey, but who in the world would know?)
Response: You could go for internships and at least bother to find out!
(I do not have that much foresight. I go by gut feeling i.e. it's my calling - but none of the interviewers seem to identify with it D:)

Ya, it's my calling cannot ah?

3) #3 blow: Decision of university could possibly be made with incomplete information. York's 7th while Bath's ranking is higher??
(I definitely checked. Sama sama la..Which list do you use by the way? Accurate not?)

No more doubts! It has always been and will be York. Its the place God has set aside for me. Of that I'm very certain ;D

2010-06-01T03:53:00.000-07:00

Upbeat

Woke up to a glorious morning and got down to serious business at BBDC. I'm feeling so upbeat and purposeful now! AND I realised driving techniques kick in instinctively whenever possible. Seriously. It's like I'm perpetually conditioned to be in driving mode. Like when I was pushing a cart at Giant today. I had to complete directional change, parallel parking next to the sauce section, turning right not forgetting to check blind spot before turning, changing lane when the path ahead is obstructed.. OKAY very lame but thats how I revise when I don't have a car at home hahah

2010-05-30T07:32:00.000-07:00

Through Him who gives me strength

I'll get by the crazy week through Him who gives me strength!

Occasionally I feel like I get swept back into the torrent of reality as the week draws to a close.. I figured it's crucial not to lapse into discontentment so easily/to lash out complaints unreservedly Every minute is all that we've got Every minute counts in these 4 months. I've learnt to be a little harsher to myself by forcibly replacing certain thoughts with ones which are more constructive to my overall well-being (in other words, being immensely grateful for whatever I have received) and to swerve just in time to divert myself to reality. What I see is what I get and I believe there is a reason for every occurence

This can be refreshing and honestly it's what keeps me going (:

2010-05-25T01:02:00.000-07:00

Burp 2

Some awesome avocado cream

2010-05-21T02:39:00.000-07:00

Burp

I'm this close to being crazy over 2am. hahah but nothing left to watch already!! faints Every week turns out to be a prolonged wait for Friday.

Chilling at starbucks while reading recipe books (something pictorial and visually stimulating) is rather enjoyable. If only you were there!

2010-05-17T06:15:00.000-07:00

7th in place

Random thought: I was barely awake when I heard some mumbling outside (i.e. mom yakking) about the top ten professions in UK. Psychologist came 7th calculations ensued and the projected income per month is S$17,000! Vaguely impressed.

But when its time would we still meet at the same place?

2010-05-17T06:09:00.001-07:00

How lovely is Your dwelling place

All we want to do now is to praise Your Name! HALLEJUAH!! The medicine arrived at a very timely juncture It could only be You Lord! God is faithful amen!

2010-05-16T19:53:00.000-07:00

Make it ever true

God always provides! We can always always count on that.

Digressing a bit: I need to lose that tummy if I want to go to the ball. Stop spamming bread Emily!

2010-05-14T06:00:00.000-07:00

Highlight

And it comes to the most exhilarating part of the week

(:

I don't recall hanging out till late on Fridays during schooling days.. hahah I don't remember the latent buildup throughout the week to its glorious end then letting loose totally Who knew of a nightlife then? Kids these days have changed! What a difference 10 years make. All dressed up for a Friday night.. You can tell lor. If only I had place to chill lol Haiya. Going on to twenties sound so foreign and unrealistic

I don't want to be in my twenties nooooooooooo I like my current lifestyle Time will pass so fast then. And the person which this can be closely associated with is..my sister. WATCH OUT!!!!

Does it necessarily mean that adulthood snuffs out all our dreams Incapitates our fantasizing minds I mean, thats what its all about right; youth is all about fantasizing and being childishly impractical? Like fantasizing about becoming a singer seems easier when you're a teenager than when you reach adulthood because when you're adult you know you're limited by your commitments/responsibilities/job and most of the time horribly limited by appearance. And the Pride which becomes more potent in adulthood.

I don't know.. On the other hand I know we don't just live for responsibilities, commitments and expectations. We live for our calling.

Hai. Snapped back to reality.

HAI.

USS ah, why are you not calling me ): I don't want aftnoon sessions pls! Totally not feeling a connection to primary school children.

2010-05-13T02:35:00.000-07:00

Some odd atmosphere

Back from the AMK neighbourhood. Can't put my finger on that odd atmosphere Strangely quiet everytime I go there I can't feel a pulse So odd!

My mind is pretty blank lately. Afterall all I do is clean, stone, read recipes, try out recipes which occasionally turn out to be disastrous, read, sleep, think what to cook for lunch what to cook for dinner, buy groceries to cook dinner or to cook lunch, go for driving, walk around the house, scorn at my un-ringing phone, slump onto my bed in despair because of the job drought HAI.

Anyway,

time to prepare dinner. Man I just had tea =.=

2010-05-11T21:11:00.000-07:00

Gah

Gosh I have to stop being lazy to cook for myself. Like that how to survive!

Okay I'll walk 30 mins to buy groceries now.

...

2010-05-10T07:32:00.000-07:00

Seventeen forever

Even if it was only an hour it felt like it could go on indefinitely.. Just laughing at the slightest comment Tracing that silhouette with my eye

Our own story playing on in real time, insulated from reality

Alas, duty beckons!

2010-05-09T02:44:00.000-07:00

538th post

How can I fulfill this calling when at times I feel like a part yet apart of this world?

2010-05-06T17:30:00.001-07:00

Nice.

His word today:

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful."
- Col 3:15

2010-05-06T07:14:00.000-07:00

And it's true

Ep 11 is finally out!! (: It appears my sister can't tolerate unproductive behavior hahah but while waiting ep 11 I mopped the floor, earned 30 dollars and cooked dinner THATS fruitful labour

;D

I remember K drama being an integral part of school days :D I remember nights chionging Coffee Prince during Sept holidays (till 2 am!) before Sec 4 Prelims and City Hall during study break for As! Clearly it's a stimulant hehehe

Workless week is fine so far, except I feel I haven't been eating well..Zzz. Cooking lunch and dinner is just so..draining. Cooking different dishes everyday is so sian. Cooking for someone who doesn't trust my cooking is urgh. I think this is the main reason right. So what if I'm not a good cook. At least I'm trying.. Like today. Yes I said I would cook but I was busy teaching I couldn't duplicate myself then I cook right. Thanks a lot for 'this maid is useless', thanks. (I made dinner tonight btw) I'm sure you are aware of the increasing frequency of 'aiya anyhow eat la' Sometimes I go along with it but increasingly I find it maddening. Should I assume it to be a presentation of favoritism or a general sense of jaded-ness?

Okay weird transition there I'm just gonna go to slp

=.=

edit: I was reading my previous posts..I have become so bland. Horribly bland Even that last bit of sunshine slipped through my fingers lol Shakeshead. And how did I even get through the past 2 years! I cannot comprehend the cryptic posts Some of which I cannot remember/associate happening with post HAI. AND I was once bitchy! faints

2010-05-04T07:49:00.000-07:00

Voyage #5 and fellow taitais

Omg super touristy

Thirsty lol

Ended the day with Azabu Sabo.

What makes this voyaging so delightful is the fact that Singapore is so small you can practically walk from everywhere to anywhere! All you need are legs and a strong sense of direction. In which I perform better than my companions any day (:

2010-05-03T01:37:00.000-07:00

Sian.

I can't bear to watch ep 10. I only have ep 10 left to survive the week!! Unless ep 11 + 12 + 13 comes out this week

'How I wish' comes to our lips so easily A plea in trying times or just an exclaimation presented in ungratefulness
Well I can't stop myself from having certain thoughts when things are just happening around me can I! Like what I saw earlier on. I can only sigh and walk away. Not forgetting to stare vengefully at them lol

Great book in hand + songs playing on = great afternoon but not fully utilizing this labour day weekend

Listening to: Alive - Black Eyed Peas

2010-04-29T04:35:00.000-07:00

You're gonna love me

I like how the sky looks after the rain How wonderful are the works of Your hand!

Every time I step in all I see is fearless adolescence..So irresponsibly fun-loving they just don't seem to have a care in the world I suppose there's the slightest bit of value in that afterall We all live once only right, to live blithely with abandonment

2010-04-28T03:52:00.000-07:00

And I'm telling you

I'm getting excited! I finally am. This small burning flame inside me took quite awhile to light up
I'm picking up speed I'm breaking into a run I'm fully embracing this new reality! Previously I thought it was a given to head to York (but still full of thanks, that is) Pretty much adopted a lukewarm attitude

But I can feel my heart burning up now There's this newly adjusted perspective which makes me feel really expectant of what is to come! Thinking about the colorful scenery and shopping with my sis :DD

I'll take on anything that comes my way

On a separate note:
Instructor: Your driving is not bad.

;D

2010-04-28T03:01:00.000-07:00

Hallejuah!

Woke up to a beautiful morning thanking the Lord for all that I see Hallejuah!

I like the after-rain weather So cooling and so calm after the diarrhoea of raging clouds The clouds must be feeling very relieved lol

2010-04-23T06:15:00.000-07:00

Can't you see, can't you see

People around me talking, eating, laughing, loving, smiling, joking, thinking, waiting And I sit surrounded by these hazy figures

All I hear is this droning..Laughing, yes you, about what? You waiting? For?

Insulated from the rain I looked at the figures standing outside..For no reason, actually. Just looking at people casually. There are probably a 100 of these strangers we stare at everyday only to be forgotten with the turn of the head Most of them never ever notice the eyes boreing through their backs

This is how it should be right, this sense of unity? That we are one and the same

2010-04-22T21:25:00.000-07:00

Sneak peek

2010-04-21T05:40:00.000-07:00

Snippets

I told Master RT I was so bored that I was itching for internet access. To do what exactly? Update FB/Tweet lor. Why is it that we are now so dependent on FB/Twitter? To a certain extent even if I do not wish to associate myself with any teenage vices I must admit FB is brain-consuming

I guess I'm used to updating FB in one-liners/short exclamations simply because it allows me to get to the point quickly. As a result As much as I wish to expound on certain things most of the time I find myself contented with updating in snippets of what I initially intend to put across. Okay, not only does it rob me of productive time it impairs my flow of thoughts. Evilness in its most advanced. Somehow I think this could be the very reason that kids nowadays are so very restless and twitchy

Speaking of which I think modern parenting needs an overhaul. If I had kids I would train them the way my mother did lol.. That would probably solve majority of the issues kids are plagued with nowadays hahaha

One common issue with kids is pickiness with food. My mom had a simple solution: Just eat what I cooked. Otherwise you'll starve. And I won't tolerate your nonsense.

So simply articulated yet it speaks volumes. It's true we were so young then we couldn't possibly forage for food..
Bittergourd soup? You better drink up now. Hurry I'm watching.
Slow-eater? You gotta eat faster if not you cannot come into the room to play with jiejie. And I mean it.
Ginseng tea (bane of my life!!)? I don't care, I prepared it for you you better not waste it if not I'll be very angry!

Nonetheless, I survived those days hahahah I must say she has her reasons for doing so. The only thing I don't drink till this day is GINSENG TEA. yuk =.=

hahahah it's nice to look back and feel grateful for all that she has done.. Not even Mother's Day yet!

Hmmm rather contemplative today..

2010-04-21T05:05:00.000-07:00

Overkill

Entering a stage of literary enrichment lol Borrowed several books recently all thanks to the nature of my job now So relaxing!

hahah Master RT is so adorable!! I like my colleagues they're all so friendly :D

A little bit of an overkill now Need a break.. Mother vehemently opposes and charges me with laziness. Oh well. I'm crossing my fingers I won't get any call on Friday

Voyage #4 today to Haji Lane! Lazy to update lj.. hahah enjoyed the walk with hj Had strawberry cheesecake icecream too!

2010-04-18T08:06:00.000-07:00

Voyage

Henderson waves!!! So pretty. And so sunny =.=

Rewind please..I think I don't want to do this anymore

2010-04-16T07:06:00.000-07:00

This calls for a toast!

CONGRATZZZZZ YO. HAHAHAH

Goodness, one biscuit per day? Madness!

So many steps backwards..

2010-04-15T00:02:00.000-07:00

New Age?

I see those shifty eyes and restless bodies
Clearly overhyped and disturbingly frenzied. It saddens me to see children these days with zero attention span

Unsympathetic, self-centred, full of themselves, awfully bigheaded and irresponsible with their words. Disappointing.

I fear for this generation! What to do, relief teaching is hardly life-changing/inspiring. It's just babysitting

On a separate note: MAY YOUR WISH BE FULFILLED (:

2010-04-11T01:57:00.000-07:00

By His stripes we are healed

To you who perceives all things are impermanent, why not believe in the One who promises eternal life

My ignorance is alarming For this I pray today:

that the eyes of my heart may be enlightened in order that I may know the hope to which he has called me, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his imcomparably great power for us who believe.
- Ephesians 1 : 18 - 19

2010-04-05T05:50:00.000-07:00

Goulash with chive dumplings

For the love of boredom I roamed Orchard and ran errands for my mom. And succeeded in following a recipe!

Real deal:

Resemblance is almost complete!

Cheers. CAN'T WAIT TILL THURS.

2010-04-04T03:20:00.000-07:00

Gethsemane

Resurrection Sunday. Hallejuah for He is risen!

Not my will, but yours be done Lord.

2010-04-03T07:52:00.000-07:00

One step forward, two steps back

And it's not a song lyric. Invincible, infallible. So I thought

On a lighter note, I've found a travelling buddy(: Cheers to chillaxing at a quirky cafe in a hidden alley basking in all that rustic charm.. I can almost feel the wind in my face

I NEED WORK!!

2010-03-30T19:30:00.000-07:00

Bliss

The word escapes me. What I see is the adoration for each other, the joy of holding each other's hands for the rest of their lives

2010-03-30T01:24:00.000-07:00

Sounds of laughter shades of life

Gaohu! Somehow I always at the bottom left hand corner

HIGHLIGHT!! My dream (: Watch my lj!

2010-03-29T02:22:00.000-07:00

You gotta wait a minute

Pretty pleased with my html-reading 8) Aiya, I think I'll stick with blogger I'm used to it already

(:

Went back to 6A classroom! Nothing much has changed. Except I don't remember primary sixes being so puny and scrawny You picky eaters! It's interesting that after a few years most teachers develop laterally. So they say married life makes you fat hehehe

Idk why but whenever I see Miss Chan (eeks) I think words: unyielding/ unchanging/ unmoving/ mo4 mo4 geng1 yun2. hahah some people never change..

I think teaching at USS gives me more satisfaction.. At least the students actually understand your jokes And I know what I'm teaching. But the leering eyes are disturbing =.=

It's comforting to know people you know haven't changed a bit. The same old assuredness, the same-old dependability, the same old thriftiness!

2010-03-21T07:35:00.001-07:00

BAYwatch (lol)

I like this (: (okay I admit the sky wasn't so bright but who likes dull pictures :D)

This was intense. Rich in toffee!

Lastly, The Extravagance. Portion size not proportionate to price! hahah oh well next time we know (:

I've got to get real. Emily Quit moping around! Appreciate good things in life like visiting nice places with nice ambience and chillin with good good friends. And good food too.

2010-03-21T07:03:00.000-07:00

Your shadow weighs a ton

Have been delving into low and then into high lately. I must lament : WHAT A SHORT WEEKEND. Like, so annoying! Fortunately, lonely nights no more!

So much wringing and mangling within sometimes it's rather hard to breathe

Edit: I totally agree with you woman, I thank God for you (: You make me cry.. (btw there's only one person in the world whom I'd call that lol my dear shiokelastrawberrypink with the honours:D)

2010-03-17T08:32:00.000-07:00

Lala

Had a wonderful wonderful meal and after-meal drink with the girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Always laugh damn lot (okay I sound like you now dude) lol <3 Breeks is good!

I can't bear to see you stuck in there!!! If I could I would swim there and fish you out right now. Like frog-style over. Only very slowly.

2010-03-15T19:42:00.000-07:00

Why

Sigh. I dont want to know why it turned out like that..

2010-03-15T06:44:00.000-07:00

You got to have Fred Perry!

AHH I'm going mad. STUPID ESSAYS.

2010-03-14T21:10:00.001-07:00

Ah, finally

12.28 pm
Can't put my finger on what makes this divine combination of kaya toast, teh si siu dai (would be eternally grateful for cappuccino, though) and newspapers so..hair-raising. Gratifyingly hair-raising, that is. Shuang ttm!

A burst of euphoria in my head once again! And I can feel it, oh, again and again..

Not to forget the surge of fancy whimsical ideas which flooded my vision earlier on my way down to the coffeeshop.. Emily, there you have it, A Dream. YES, and with the help of foodie tayklock I can fulfill this dream before leaving dear Singapore!!

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 8 : 37-39
Grant me a renewed attitude Lord!

2010-03-14T07:53:00.000-07:00

Fishhead

Titled 'Fishhead'. Interesting. I enjoy browsing through works like these.. Makes me believe I can too.

2010-03-13T23:38:00.000-08:00

What-ifs

Am rather miserable now and upset that writing it down serves no purpose in resolving this entanglement. So what if I feel better by sorting out the cluttered thoughts So what if I'm rather unsympathetic towards your story I've been hypocritical I can't have the best of both worlds That was what it was Yes I could have the exact same thoughts as ____________ , so? Still waist-deep in this predicament. Sneaky little thing which slithers to and fro my mind A constant reminder of Dilemma

Yet: I'm just waiting for this salvation Lord, when will it come?

If God gave me a heart for those lost souls, why not for his? I'll stop there. Don't want to loiter under the scrutiny of certain people.

2010-03-12T02:04:00.000-08:00

Not you!

lol I must have been mad to chat up random people. This simmering madness is going to end soon BECAUSE thank God is Friday. I can write a whole exposition explaining why Fridays are vital and deeply inspiring: FRIDAYS!!

AND THE ONE WEEK HOLIDAY. Who are you kidding it's one week!! I'm ecstatic and am feeling faint

8)

Had an eventful end to the term, Lord bless those kids, heal those hearts..

2010-03-07T02:52:00.000-08:00

Were they from You?

Distracted. FB twitter and all other damaging supplies of entertainment are reducing us to bubble-headed people! Ah.

Once, again, working on certain essays. I hate essays. Seriously. Especially when I don't necessarily have a definitive personality if you know what I mean I might just be a colourless odourless character

What about my case? I should listen in obedience. I shouldn't be holding back.. LET THE FIRE BURN IN MEEEEEEE

2010-03-06T06:41:00.000-08:00

God is faithful!

I should be writing certain essays.

God is faithful indeed!!! Spurred on and deeply encouraged by His faithfulness.. So much so that there's this general sense of detachment from my grades because I could not have accomplished this alone.. Indescribable in short.

Shoutout: Do not be discouraged! Do not feel hopeless because you can bank on Him, He will go before you no matter how tough the going gets, no matter how disgusting you feel circumstances are. You can count on Him to show you the way even in this fog you think you are in ;D

2010-03-01T04:47:00.000-08:00

Shiat seems to be appropriate

AHHH I haven't done anything I NEED TO START REALLY SOOOOOOOOON.

What we established today: learning driving as a school student SUCKS. ttm. And hj concurs.

Mini victory admist loadsa fuss: THANK GOD I PASSED BTT! AMEN!:D

2010-02-28T05:13:00.000-08:00

And it starts again

It's going to be another week!! Grateful thats its a four-day week though. No wait. OMG FRIDAYYY!!!

The more I see, the more disheartened I get. I figured I stopped trying a long long time ago. Sigh oh well.

2010-02-27T07:00:00.000-08:00

Let's go

Cheers to heavier eyebags now.

What I felt today was something which I really miss.. I felt young again. Perhaps its a privilege to switch between personas whenever you get tired of either one. I honestly feel it's a beautiful thing. Having the decency not to over-indulge in frivolity yet unperturbed enough to shed the heaviness of the duties of a working adult.. Sigh.

The only gripe I have is this nagging fatigue. I need to slp..

AHHHHHH FIELD CAMPPPP nononononononononononononononoonononono

2010-02-19T06:34:00.000-08:00

Oh so instant

Now I can also proclaim THANK YOU FOR THE CAMERAAAAA!!!!!! I really didn't expect it omg omg omg I'm soooo happpppy!!!! I shall name it Fuji. And ration the film.

2010-02-17T00:15:00.000-08:00

You'll have to cry me out

A timely move to stop reading you-know-what and guffaw over harmless yet fit-inducing humor which Someone Else writes (way to go dude!)

;D

I realised I have this habit of listening to a song on loop until I get really really sick of it

Okay my fingers are itching for another pineapple tart. Bad hand.

Thank God for the constant extensions! (:

2010-02-11T06:50:00.001-08:00

I killed a mockingbird

I never thought I'd read that book. Lol picked it up during my frolicking hours in office and was respectful of authors all of a sudden. Good authors amaze!

Oh well. Wednesday was just as busy as Monday Tuesday and Today, dropped by A Place to get A Thing then headed down to Another Place to grab some horribly expensive hard paper and finally reached The Last Destination to print still images

Notions come and go, it is so hard to remember every single piece of them Waiting to discharge all of them at one go weekly is not a good idea They just..dissipate along the week. I'd try to contain them in a bottle if I could.

AHAHAH I've got CINTAN!! Finally. Strong garlic taste = smelly mouth DOESN'T MATTER!

Goodness. Eight an hour is..

2010-02-08T05:34:00.000-08:00

This space needs colour

2010-02-07T05:13:00.000-08:00

Jan/Feb

When it was still early to exchange gifts from our trips hahah making cookies (Karen the pics of cookies still in my phone!)

Purvis Street. Quiet place, and yes we overate AND I had to try my (mini)tripod!

Dinner at my place! Lovely food prepared by me alone (and hence the greasy hair, ugh) all finished so we didn't manage to take pics of the glorious food nyeh heh

(Edit: I didn't mean it literallyyy, woman! Make me feel like a demanding friend now..D:)

2010-02-06T08:08:00.000-08:00

We beat 'em up, against each other

8)

For all you know those wide-eyed looks were smokescreens too The basis for those actions Reserved for me, undisclosed. Feeding on my own thoughts little by little everyday.. Ah well.

Where's my followup?

Not exactly a go-getter (i.e. not cat chau) but strangely pleased with the packed/frenzied week ahead Cheers to losing a few thoughts and kilos as well

Hey this fire, its burning, its burning us up

2010-02-06T00:10:00.000-08:00

Endless Rain

Putting up CNY deco today!

I'll complete what you set out to do

2010-02-04T05:21:00.000-08:00

Spektor did it

Say it in your mind until you know that the words are right

2010-02-04T04:51:00.000-08:00

Take me with you

Was rather upset today. An episode which AH I DONT EVEN WANT TO TALK ABT IT ALR. I think I'll just sleep it off..yawns. What happens in a day ends in a day. Tomorrow will be a better day!

Or a painful reminder of where a slice of my heart is being deposited

Not intending to display more sappiness than I should I'm glad I haven't taken anything for granted We all know we've gone through worse So cheers to that and at the same time goodluck to _______(of which I'm sniggering at Sometimes I think certain people have to grow up)

Alrighto not exactly in the nicest mood to blog

2010-02-01T06:14:00.000-08:00

Cross your heart?

And I'm like, whattttt

In retrospect I feel..dismayed looking at the changed plans. Okay perhaps a little less than dismayed. I mean, the primary reason for the overhaul was that I just accepted the job It didn't have to sound materialistic as it would once you fit "money comes first" over it. Once you say that it all seemingly becomes clear to the rest of the world. Henceforth I'm surprised I even bothered correcting myself =.=

Why can't it be as simple as : They needed help, there I was to provide assistance

I do feel rather regretful of the sudden amendment; time is on ration D:

2010-01-31T06:43:00.000-08:00

Saw our hearts were little stones

Strange my speaker plays music but not lyrics..

Yawns very tired now. Lazy to upload photos. Ugh.

2010-01-27T04:44:00.000-08:00

Esctatic!

Feels great to be back! I'm really hopeful, praise the Lord!

2010-01-26T05:47:00.000-08:00

I've got the world on a string

No one sings it better than Michael Buble (:

This is what the unemployed does

Unbelievably restless these few days. To the point I took time to settle down at Starbucks A time of deep thought, planning and people-watching
A window of respite in all that restlessness. lol I think this is called wu zhong sheng you..

Oh and. I appreciate the warm reception, but scrutiny is creepy.

Great is the love/Poured out for all

2010-01-21T06:36:00.001-08:00

Look me in the eyes

It's not up to me to decide to back out, right? You know, to just fade, as B adequately puts it, the one who doesn't _______________________

I don't need to back out. There is no reason for me to back out There isn't a need There isn't a warning

Okay, real drastic change of mood

I need an icecream.

2010-01-21T06:01:00.000-08:00

Hey kids!

It has been a long absence and also a long time since I engaged in any creative processes such as writing it feels great to be filled with inspiration once again

(:

So.. What's up? The past 1.5 weeks have been most fulfilling and absolutely engaging Thank God for His favor!
Sometimes the least endearing appearance can bring forth such sincerity which touches your heart I think it is primarily this sincerity which compels me
Oh well, praying hard for the job now I believe I will get it AMEN!!

Hmmm what else. Oh and countrystorying which my students think is ridiculously lame and I cant believe this manning my cousin's tamagotchi =.=

Strangely though I kinda wish I known your friends lol Maybe the scenarios I intricately outlined would you know, come true hehe

2010-01-02T03:08:00.000-08:00

!!

"Please read it. You'll be immensely entertained."

Lol and I'm not apologetic for saying those words! hahah okay its nasty to introduce entertainment in such a form but oh well for the many poor souls out there who have had tame holidays this should suffice as entertainment for the rest of your lives (:

Not a fan of making New Year's resolution.. The one thing I know I need to do is to equip myself for the work of the Lord (: All else will fall into place..

No doubt I was affected by what you unintentionally said, but having known to be a chronic muller I know dwelling on those few words you won't remember saying would hurt more than they should Been through something called the big R I know to let go

Oh well time will invalidate your words, it'll all change..

Half price

Sometimes I think to myself this could be us

It's always wonderful to see familiar faces whether or not these faces have any significance in my life It just makes the feeling wholesome and somehow rather warm. And so it lasts for 20 mins

Hmmm I can't seem to write much nowadays. Haiya nothing much to write too!

On the 23rd

Apart from the mindless few days after Christmas I thank God for the many precious moments I had (:

Went back to a familiar environment dear HK for a week One thing worth exclaiming :THE lormaikai was to die forrrr hahahahahah But before anything else I have to admit my living quarters warranted some disdain at first (the understated princess illness) I decided I should quit complaining like a brat and live on. Turned out to be bearable. AND I was definitely more productive than my sis at farming (: Lots of walking and shopping , and more of obscenely busy streets, nasty odors and ogling at people who can actually dress well.. (shoutout: I've done homework for you hor tanhs!) One thing lacking was the evangelism I hoped for (yet under-prayed for sigh) but I think God has his own timing.. Mom was on a roll Just amazing marveled once again and as always at the ways God works his power Faith is all we need and then we can just watch it unfold.. Exactly like
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." - Hebrews 11:1
I'm really happy for you Ma I can totally see it taking flight continue to press on!

Back home the picnic with urbanmale was wonderful (but awfully windy and sunny =.=), walked around town, STOMP with kt and tanhs, Christmas dinner with more family members this time lol
It's just all so YAY and its going to get even more YAY

Wanna be a foodie

Sunday night at Waraku

Paper pot with awesome soup

SEDAP

Unbelievably springy udon it's so good you can kneel on the floor in disbelief

heehee a good way to split the costs

2 satisfied customers, one greedy face hahahahahah

Next stop: Azabu Sabo

omg you can cry eating this it's really really good! Baked sweet potato with vanilla icecream with custard sauce (who would have thought of that!)

the signature dish

Don't feel like uploading prom photos after a few days the excitement is evaporating BUT I love my dress (: (:

I feel something niggling there but it isn't as strong as I expected it to be After all the effort in the end its just like a mist which dissipates even if I wanted to I wouldn't have been able to capture it again

You hold my world/In the palm of your hands

I heart sleep

Hi world. And bio. Just woke up from what seemed like eternal bliss I'm glad my sofa has an unspecified second function it automatically converts to a day bed you can just sink into

(:

ALRIGHT hands and eyes you gotta do some work NOW. After moping around the entire half of the day

Take care!
