Make it last

The guy at the studio asked if we wanna have our couple grad photo on canvas instead of photo...

"Are u 2 married?"
"Nope"
"But if u put the photo on canvas it's going to last for a long long time."

And poppy said, " let's put it on canvas then."

HTHT

Poppy told me s'thing on Fri night that reminded me of how blessed I am.

I started crying so hard that I felt so silly.

Only half-way through did I realise that they were tears of joy :)

It's especially heart-warming when words are not the most common avenue for him to express his feelings.

S.

Seriously, enough shit today. Thought the night will be better, surprised it can get any shittier.

There's really just so much shit one can take.

No matter how good the intention, a max pt is a max pt. Period. No buts, no what ifs, no because.

I need a shower and blanket over my head.

P.S. I hate the S word, but nth expresses how I feel better den it. Shitty.

Sunday

Came home aft service to find mummy spring cleaning...
Motivated me to clean up my room as well :)

Have been wanting to pack up my facial and make-up prdts for a long long time...

Spent 2 over hrs on it and it went from this:




To this:











And aft a day of hard work, we went to Sizzler for a good family meal tgt :)))













Enjoyed the lovely time with the 2 greatest people in my life... Family are the only ppl on Earth who loves u unconditionally. No one will ever come close to how important they are.

New week in a few hrs' time... I thank God for guiding me through the day and for granting me renewed strength and faith. I pray that I will continue to stay close to Him and remain faithful in Him. Amen.

Ask and you shall be given.

Pops reminded me sth today.

While God promises to give and provide, we have to play our parts too.

We have to keep what we want in prayers, we have to keep ourselves on the path that God wants us to trod, we have to keep our faith that God will respond to our prayers in time.

Like the joke that Liz told in Eat Pray Love, a man kept praying to a Saint that one day he will strike the lottery, and the exasperated Saint had to tell him, "PLS go buy a ticket!"

How very often do we find ourselves in such ironic situation? We know how badly we want sth, how desperately we hope to have it. But the things we do and the effort we put in turns out to be just some feeble attempts.

Or maybe we did try with all out heart, but it wasn't the right way we shld have done it.

It's time for reflection. And renewed prayers.

The right answer

The right one... Is someone whom God has planned for you. The right person to appear in your life at the right time.

Not a minute earlier, not a second later.

And you will know. For there will not be someone better for you.

The Right One.

Many ppl asked the qn: how do u know if he/ she is THE ONE for you?

I think THE ONE is more than just being the right person... It's abt meeting the right person at the right time. I always thot this ans sets all records straight.

But what is the right time?

When u are single?
When the other party is single?
When u are of 'marriageable' age?

What if u're of marriageable age and u met s'one whom u think is the right person, but u're not attached to each other?

Will u wait?
Will u take the risk?
Will it ever be a regret?
Will u still think that THE ONE in ur life right now is still THE ONE?

Dear Mrs Lee...

To the lady who played the different roles of her life so well, so quietly and tirelessly - my utmost respect.

To the couple who stood by each other till the end of their journey tgt, so sweet and loving - my deepest admiration.

To the family who had such great fortune to have this lady, so full of grace, intelligence and dedication - my sincere condolences.

And we mourn the loss of yet another important figure in our nation's history.

Flash Floods Alert

I woke up in the middle of a storm this morning.
To say I woke up from it is such an understatement. I was jolted awake by it.

All my windows slammed in such great synchrony it's difficult to ignore even at 4.30am, when I'm supposed to be deep in slp. One can only imagine what a fierce gust of wind it had been.

I sat up in bed and tried to peer out the window. It was misted up by the rain that had splattered intently on it. Or was the rain so heavy that the block of flats opposite suddenly appeared so faint and distant?

And yet the lightning was so frequent and sharp, it had the ability to light up the entire sky, creating such a sharp contrast to the rain's effort of forming a mysterious veil.

It's the kind of lightning that has the ability to make even the bravest little girl cry. I hope the timid ones sleep right thru it.

I'm glad that my loved ones are all safely at home with me. I would be how worried if any if them are caught in the storm now... I hope it's peaceful and calm in Bintan, with no storm in sight.

And now I'll gladly return to my dreams. But it wasn't a very sweet one to start with...

Flashbacks

Pops away at Bintan for company's Sports Cell retreat so I have a full day of rest and me-time today :)))

Slept a whole lot and completed some home projects.

I've been wanting to flip thru all my old mags (from 2009) and rip out all the nice, informative and useful articles for my "inspirational folders".

Finally did it today :)

Spent some time doing a project for work and went blog-hopping after I lost concentration on the work.

Ended up at my old blog.

The past couple of years in uni had been so amazing, I didn't realise till I look back...

I studied a course I'm interested in, I danced and performed for various events and competitions, I wrote tons of reports, did crazy things for presentations, partied and have fun, taught tuition, learnt driving, went for mission trip, had an insightful internship, travelled the world (well, couple of places), met so many awesome ppl, made new friends and started on a lovely relationship :)

While reading my blog posts, I realised I blog alot more when I'm studying for exams. I won't say I miss studying (esp when it comes to studying for EXAMS), but I definitely miss the experiences I had.

I know I did not try everything, grab every opportunity or went all out in what I did. There were regrets and disappointments along the way, but looking back, a college life like this, I really shouldn't complain :)

Tons more photo memories, but I really need to slp.

**And I realise we used to eat BETTER when haven started working... Now we live on the limits of our punnyyy salary -_-
