he would be 89

The note kept in his wallet of the

deaths and birthdays of love ones.

Don't faint. This is NOT my grandpa.
It's his twin! And that's not a joke.

Jolly grandma

If my grandpa was alive, he'd be 89 today.

use me?

God gave me this verse on the morning that I spoke

" The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it." 1 Thes 5:24

If you've met up with me lately, my cough has been becoming worse and worse till my face turns all red and I look like I'm crying or vomitting. I think I even have a six pack now because of using so much strength to breath and cough. So standing up to talk in front of these unknown faces, in this situation was like a huge mountain before me. I popped strepsils none stop, I drank a whole bottle of pi pa gao... nothing worked!

But when I stood up, I don't know how God did it.... for those moments up there sharing my heart out I did not cough a single time! No, not once! I even managed to sing a song that I actually thought of not doing so, afraid that I'd sound like some frog and people would just walk out on me haha.

I'm very thankful to God for giving me this opportunity.

oh boy. Childhood to adulthood. Thanks to technology like facebook and friendsters we've kept in contact these past 8 years since leaving primary school. Pretty amazing huh. With a whole lot off studying overseas, this little bunch of us still got to meet up!

Don't ask me how we built this close knit. Somehow these few of us just clicked and the once in a year gatherings became friday night coffeestops. Dinner at Vivo- Marche, followed by Ben & Jerry's and finally the playground of the famous ivory heights!

Today:

Chrissy!

It's been quite a day! Firstly, I sat in a freezing cold cubicle all morning. Why do studying or taking exams have to have this thing with ice box rooms. Anyway, thanks for your sweet prayers my friends! The results would be posted to me soon. I can now breathe.

Caught WALL-E right after that. This movie has barely any dialogue spoken and almost no human figures appear on screen. Sure breaks new ground! I found it visually beguiling and inventive. Somehow it's not just a kid's show, it works on many levels. Btw, Wall-E -stands for "Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class". Just look at his puppy binocular eyes! He sure sweeps up thrash and hearts.

Later we had the perfect weather for a perfect outing, at Mount Faber Park. The view at Henderson waves was so lovely! The fresh air, greenary and blue skies brought me back to the land of the paddy fields. I don't know why, these things make me so happy. We had a picnic dinner at the park, a time of catching up and sharing with the other home schoolers.

The best part of my day was seeing Chrissy again and of course the other BL girls too! I can't wait to spend more time with them at our conference next week. And as for Chrissy, a whole month with us in Mae Sai!

Where are you?

it's about the company

I sat on a bus and passed many green lights today. More meet ups with good old buddies. I've known this girl since primary school! We went to holland v to just chill and catch up on each other's life. You know each time I get out of the house my pocket is so painful...

But guess what is worth more than money? People's time! For every dollar you spend, you can earn it back. But for every time lost, it can't be recovered... you simply can't turn back time and relive 'yesterday'.

Went to JE library later to continue my studies and it's unbelieveable that I could meet so many people there! Even some distant relative which I've not seen in years. Such a small world. 1 day more to my papers!

weekend, I love

I always find it a wee bit tricky to blog summaries of weekends spent with friends. When you think about it, inside jokes and knowing glances really do not translate well via internet.

On this Friday night, we spent it at Caleb's home playing taboo. I recommand this game to everyone, it's unspeakably fun! It encourages verbal creativity. Just don't make me be the one describing because I would probably get you all confused.

Got to catch "Money No Enough 2" on Sunday after church. I came out of the cinema with eyes swollen with billows of tears! Horrible. I never fail to watch Jack Neo's movies. It's close to the heart yet pokes fun at our uniquely Singaporean mentality. I found myself chuckling heartily several times throughout the movie too.

Thought about my old age. Wish that my partner and I can grow old together, still hold hands and help each other up the bus or irritate each other asking the same old questions over and over again because we both have become senile. If he dies, hopefully I'll die a week or two later. haha. Then again, the preacher at church was just talking about Jesus coming! Ready or not He is coming again soon. Maybe I won't have a chance to get married.
