Security in You /// 11:44 PM
Change me, Father.
One of the rare things that beat obtaining a good education and career /// 12:58 AM
I'd say that choosing the right partner is the second most important decision of my life, after the first - choosing Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Saviour. After all, he'll be someone I spend the next 60 (hopefully I'll live till then) years of my life with, to go through tears and joy with, the good as well as the trying times and ultimately, to be a good role model to the kids and a spiritual leader in the family.
It shouldn't be a decision to be taken too lightly.
Btw Wicked is wicked! The voices are amazing; there were goosebumps all over:)

It makes me laugh and want to tear at the same time.
What matters in life /// 8:23 PM
It has been a hectic yet fabulous week. I'd say it's a good start to the semester, even though there were times where we weren't given any rest in the 3hr seminars and I had to keep shifting my weight between both buttcheeks. It wasn't very pleasant. But at the same time, I'm pretty excited to what this sem brings because I'm overloading on my modules hence, taking an additional research module which is more than required, and I'm all up for this challenge!
I've been catching up with friends in school and outside of it as well. Celebrated Eileen and Chia Ling's birthday by surprising both of them with a cake and finally got formally introduced to Eileen's boyfriend. Overall evaluation at the end of the meetup is that he is a warm person who cares for her and looks out for her well-being. Glad he opened up to us and we shared much fun, laughter, peace and joy over our meals. Tick Tick:) The conversations I've had with them about work etc made me realise how much we have grown since our sec 1 days:)
Went for buffet at Triple 333, Mandarin Gallery today and we had a sumptuous spread. I liked the Matcha ice cream and the Corn Soup. haha. Yeah, like what the girls have said, it's a waste for me to attend buffets cuz I'll end up going for those cheap dishes which can easily be found elsewhere. I hope that Wanting's handsome ah gong will fully recover and be discharged in time for cny and to spend time with her family back at home.
Been enjoying the company of Jean Bean, my dearest sister. Spending time with her made me realise how much I've missed her. I miss the times we played the guitar and sang/screeched till our voices were hoarse and I miss all the htht we have because she is someone whom i can share all stuff with at an intimate level because I enjoy doing that, and whom I know understands me well enough to dish out godly advice. I thank God that she's back to spend the new year with my family!:D

all the specialists are really friendly and gracious. One made me milo after blood test because I hadn't eaten for more than 12 hrs.

Back to reality /// 11:45 AM
I had a dream.
I dreamt that we were really happy together, like how it used to be in the past. Rollercoasters, laughter and everything nice.
But like all happy endings, the dream did not last.
There's nothing so beautiful as a godly soul /// 9:56 AM
One lesson which I've learnt during the course of these few days: Never lose your sense of humour.
Off to Sentosa! Hopefully the sun is here to stay:D
I'm not as malleable as a copper wire /// 10:00 AM
I can't seem to understand the mechanism that drives a certain type of mentality. Initially, they say they want you to depend fully on them. And although there was skepticism at first, all ~ships require both compromise, effort and a common platform in which all parties understand one another. And when they've gotten what they wanted, they realised that there was too much of a reliance and being afraid of the level of commitment, changed their minds and demanded for more independence. They just expect to have it their way all the time. However, they have yet to realise that this is a person's life they are talking about. A life that is shaped by experiences and accompanied with feelings, thoughts and a fixed set of attitudes.
What fickle minds.
Thoughts /// 9:24 PM
Dearest baby sister is back for a month!!! Been spending quality time with her the past two days and updating each other on what we've missed out on in each other's lives:D
However, it sucks that i've stepped into the New Year with a terrible sorethroat, fever and cough. Nevertheless, I used whatever energy I had left to share and give thanks for year 2011 at Watch Night service yesterday.
Anyway, on a side note, Mum just brought me some oversized cotton hoodie to wear on top of my t-shirt because I was shivering as I typed this post. The room temperature is extremely cold right now and it feels like i'm trapped in a freezer with all my tubs of icecream. Thought that that is really observant and sweet of her.
Lastly, I'm glad that I've finally apologized. It feels as if a huge burden has been lifted off my chest.
Isaiah 40:13
"but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
