On the island

Carrying 10kg of books was backbreaking. Guys out there doing road march, you're amazing! We left Mae Sai at 6:30am and only arrived at about 10:30pm due to flight delays. That very night, we indulged in all the sinful yummy Singaporean food at Bedok Hawker. It feels funny to be back here again!

Guys' night out

So tonight, the girls waited. I know, I know it usually is the other way round. I can better understand how it feels now.

i love you more than crabs & prawns

Finally.
Together.

The past 24 hrs as a family has been one of doing nothing but just sitting around, enjoying each other's company. We played Saboteur. We drank a float. We went out for a long walk. We ate a home cooked meal. We had devotions. We measured our heights and marked it on the walls just like what we use to do when young. I feel absolutely grateful. I don't want this to end.

God, thank you, truely.

still here

remind me of who You are.

remind me of what You've done.

cause that is all I need.

I'm just here to announce that I'm not dead. Yet. I'd to keep reminding myself the past week that there WILL be lots of time for daydreaming, reading a good book rather than my notes, going out...just...later. They will wait for me. Well, they better do!

Wish I had more to offer but it's just been the books and me. Hope you have a nicer weekend! Mine will :) because my big brother is coming tomorrow! Yippie Dooda! *Does a happy dance* After 343 days! It will be so so good.

Time out

" O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!" Psalm 8:9

When an art expert comes across a painting and declares, "That's Picasso!" he does not mean that the artist and that oil-streaked canvas are the same thing. Instead it means that the artist's handiwork is so clearly on display that you can see the artist in his or her work. Wheather you're studying your science, maths or biology books, peering into a telescope or noticing your thumbprint, what you're seeing is nothing less than the glory of God!

Yes, I will, No, I must!

Ahhh, exams in less than 3 weeks! So many things to cram into my brains still. This is bad. Focus! What does Lydia do when she is stressed out and feels like she can’t remember the countless things she needs to revise through? She puts on her specs and spends her time drafting a pretty timetable and a list of “things- to-do”!! Haha. Yesh I did just that, again.

My first paper starts on the 4th day of Chinese New Year while everyone is celebrating… I’ll be in a cubicle writing. Boo! Pray that God would continue to sustain me. Okay, taking leave from this space. Toodle-loo!

a new day, a fresh start

My verse for the year: "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit." Jeremiah 17: 7-8

Well hello there, how has 2009 been so far? I got to write down a long list of personal goals for the year. But I won't bore you with it because I'm sure you are not interested with the fact that I've resolved to drink more water or wear my retainers every single night (blah and double-blah). So what I will share are my 7 simples... 7 because its a complete number!

01. Read everyday

02. Pray everyday

03. Write everyday

04. Serve everyday

05. Love everyday
06. Remember everyday

07. Grow everyday

Happy making the most of this day and all the days to follow.
