I didn't ask for much..
No parties, no chalets, no BBQs..
no big hoo ha.. no drama.. i don't want it all..
all i want is personal meetings..
small private ones...ones that there's time to talk, share, reflect..
to just enjoy each other's company...

and all i asked for is a ride..
so that i don't have to carry all the stuff myself..
so that i don't need to take a cab..
and don't have to take too much time away from studying for the really tough test...

But all i get is criticism...
On why it had to be on that day..
On why it can't be just dinner..
On why can't it start earlier...
That if you would drive me, you might as well get them yourself..

But you were unwilling to get anything yesterday..
when you were supposedly free.

i don't feel like having it anymore..
this thing has made me more depressed than all that school work..

And above all this..
it is you who, by yourself, wanted to help, even in any small way..
though you are not even involved..
Thank you deer..

and it is YOU.. the person that i take for granted the most..the one i tend to neglect the most..
who will do it despite the fact that you'd be tired after a full day and it'd be a mad rush for you..
and you're not even involved.. you wanted to do it all despite all that.. you didn't even want any help..
Thank you.. my dear sister...
This mean so much to me.. Not the action per se.. but the desire to do it..
I should be having this dinner with you instead...

I think I'm pmsing...
I'm prob making a mountain out of a molehill..
thinking too much..
thinking depressing thoughts..
i am so going to have swollen eyes tomorrow..
gonna look like hell during the presentation..
and i still have to hit the books.. :(

I thought last week was the most horrid week ever...
And I was worried coz Claire (the Irish friend i got to know in Canada)and her dad were here for the weekend..
The weekend preceding 2 tests and 2 presentations...
I was figuring hard how to study and still bring them out...
but in the end, I didn't.. and I'm glad I didn't.. :)
I'm glad I didn't choose to bury my face in a textbook instead of meeting with them even for a few hours...

It was great.. to bring them around..to show them this small lil sunny island we call home..
Its great that though we were never really close, it didn't feel odd or distant.. it was as if we just left Harkness not long ago.. it was like the times we sat in the common room, talking and eating.. the times we walked to Bethel.. the time we had lunch at Stooleys..

I can't wait to go over to Ireland to visit you! and Tom, that's Claire's dad.. and YES i do feel weird calling him by name.. but he's cool and so nice... anyway.. Tom, I'd hold it to your word that we can come and stay in Ireland! :) I have free accomodation!

And Claire, you will see "the curious dog" again.. I promise...
In life, sometimes a goodbye is not really goodbye...
I've seen that through this weekend and the week minnie was here..
Praise God! :)


Tom, the cool dad..



Irish tastebuds and Indonesian food!

Adel is back! Adel is back! :)
I miss this girl so much its insane...
7 months of not seeing nor talking to you...
Really happy that we had that short but nice catching up with each other..
*hug* (:

Ah... old friends.. i love it that old friends may not have communicated for like so long yet there are no awkward silences, no 'wierd feeling', no distant feeling from each other.. I love it that for so many of my friendships, nothing have changed despite leaving for that few months and not really staying in contact while i was there... (: God is really wonderful to have blessed me so much. :)

Sentosa outing on Tues was a mess.. it seemed that everything that could go wrong went wrong.. :/ people were up to an hr late, it rained, the scavenger hunt dragged, we didn't even get to play ultimate frisbee or volleyball, a girl lost her digi cam... and many other small minor things..
and i was worried and freaking out half the time... but somehow, the day ended perfectly..
being entertained incessantly by this new friend, watching the fireworks (a lil blocked, not as fab as Disney, but still nice) and getting to know so many more ppl..
I think only God can make a good thing out of everything that has seemed to go wrong... :)

Really hope that tmr's welcome party will be a success!
*keep my fingers crossed*

I realised that my previous post may have been too strong sounding and may have caused a few misunderstandings..

i apologise.

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen" Ephesians 4:29

A friend once told me this. I need to be reminded of it today.
