Thank God for the past couple of days. My for-once-fully-packed Friday, Vibe, and yesterday. I realise, it's extremely energy-consuming to be eating and laughing so hard at the same time, as what Catherine and I did throughout the steamboat dinner yesterday. And I shan't embarrass this dear sister of mine, so I shan't say that her rice flew out of her mouth due to excessive laughter HAHAHA! :D


The wake last evening was a really heartwarming one. Very much different from those that I usually attend, I must say. Sure there were tears, but beyond that, it's evident, the inner peace. The family's indeed a great testimony and it's so amazing how God has worked in their lives. Was really moved and encouraged by one of the songs, didn't understand it but managed to catch the line, when we're weak, His grace will give us the strength that we need. Well, a rough translation.


Three cheers, I'm not school doesn't start tomorrow for me! Due to the H1N1, it has become e-orientation. >.< Slightly over a week left if there's a camp next week, otherwise I'll officially start lessons on the 11th August. Hoho.


Hmm, perhaps it's better not to be too perceptives sometimes. I've always considered my suspicions rather accurate and I guess the more I observe, the more I realise how sketchy people can be. And I'm learning to control my urge to pass snide remarks.


Dear friend, just wanna let you know, that I'm really thankful for you. :)

This is it.
This is it.
This is it.


I've officially signed 8 years of my life away! Imagine not being able to even survive the course, breaking the bond, not performing to standards, facing difficult situations and people. And to be honest, I'm secretly afraid of "payback", if you get what I mean. Haha. Those were the many thoughts swimming in my head the night before the signing. But indeed, it has been pretty amazing. Whatever happens, wherever I'll end up, I don't know, but thank God, He is in absolute control.


Val mentioned something just now which struck me. When we know God better, we know ourselves better. I thought about that and started listing out my new discoveries. "Eh, wait, they're supposed to be good points!" But I guess it's only by realising our weaknesses that we can truly see how God is working in our lives. I feel like a hamburger. I'm like this on the surface, like that when I'm closer to someone, but deep down, I'm really like this. I'm still struggling with what people have struggled with in the past. It gets better, then it's not so good again. It's emotionally draining sometimes, but I will trust that God will work in His perfect timing.


Just wanna say that I'm sorry. I actually really miss some people.


Not to mention that I feel zonked.

I'm back, I'm back!


Alright, I didn't really go anywhere, other than a coupla days' trip to St. John's Island. The past week's been pretty slack, having a crazy girl stay over at my place for some days LOL. Had a great time when Iris and Cat joined us last week, although Cat is still deluded about us enjoying her presence. Hahaha. More sleepovers next time! :D


Thank God for the trip to St. John's Island! It was really awesome. Wasn't that into the fishing, I'd just fiddle with the rod for a little while not intending to catch anything, then feel bored and return it. I really enjoyed the nights sitting around at the jetty staring at the vast sea, soaking in the peace and serenity, relaxing, talking, getting to know someone better. It's really peaceful there, a feeling you can't get back on shore. I could sit there all day just dazing at the sea. And not to mention we saw a rainbow on the first evening! It was soooo beautiful. Even though I didn't leave the island too glamorously, it was still a great trip, and it's alright, I've learnt my lesson and I'll have my revenge. Wahahaha.


For now, amidst the rocking I still feel even after having left the island for more than a day, a reality check - I'm starting school soon. Wow, I can't believe it and I don't want to believe it. After so many closed doors and all that uncertainty... It's just pretty unbelievable. But after the briefing today, it's really about time to leave my dreamland!


"I can't believe you're gonna become a teacher. You becoming a teacher is like me becoming a drug addict!"


Wahhhhhh! Lol.


Short, sharp, sweet. Thank God for the past two weeks! :)
