Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am yours

She is leaving church, along with many others. I was asked if I am affected. I certainly benefited much from her teachings. But when things have taken such a turn, I will go where God wants me to. I did not hear anything so I take it that YMM is my home. I wonder why others are leaving. Whose disciples are they? God will vindicate… vengeance is His. Ringing in my ears…
Sprained my neck. Did not sleep well I guess. Have not been sleeping well. Seen a Chinese sinseh but I feel that it is a waste of my $25 because the pain is still there! I will just do what I used to in the past. Self-medication. Daddy will help me apply the medicated oil. Then I discover a white spot on my right eye pupil. Scary. It is a little painful. Will see a doctor if the pain persists. Praying for God’s healing hand.
Read one of my friend’s blog. What makes a good teacher? I start to ponder.
Leaving for Bangkok on Thursday but it is supposed to be the first day to the counting down of The Global Day of Prayer. Will be bringing my bible and the booklet there to pray along with others. Not really looking forward enthusiastically to the trip. I wonder why. Will be going elsewhere when I am back. Agree to accompany my good friend who wants to get out of Singapore for a while. Going to burn a hole in my pocket.
Watched Da Vinci Code. Disappointing and a total waste of my money.
Brought Krystal and Faith to swim again on Saturday morning. This time it lasted for 4 hours. I was thinking that I must prepare myself with a thick book or some other constructive work to do while they enjoy their swim the next time I ‘babysit’ them. It is amazing how happy they are whenever they are in water. Just like me! A fish in water! Haha.

It is so interesting and I do not think I have this kind of luxury once practicum starts. I went to read blog after blog of those whom I know. Found out their ‘inner’ thoughts and much much more. Maybe this is the channel to keep in touch with people these days?
Met up with a friend I got acquainted with online and we went to the Famous Durians. It is always fascinating to meet up with like-minded people. Was asked to meet up again for movie after dinner this Sunday. I reckon I will do so since I have plenty of time on hand. This is a season to keep in touch and catch up with friends.
This reminds me of a CD which was recorded with songs that I sang. Must get it back from my friend. Did not really warm up my voice then but I do not think I sound very bad. Any one interested to listen? Haha. I remember I sang a duet with my friend, Faye Wong’s, Stephanie Sun’s and Zhou Hui’s songs. Seven songs in total. Perfect! One was a solo by my friend.
Went to catch the sun rise today. Warm and sandy beach, gentle rush of the waves unto the shore, tranquil and serene ambience with breath-taking sight, and great company… what else can I ask for? Maybe ask for the clouds to not block the egg yolk from my full view? Too late now. Maybe next time.
Celebrated Chris’ birthday. Unfortunately, none of us brought along a camera. What a waste! Going for KTV and sing your lungs out session on Monday. Tomorrow meeting another ex-colleague. Saturday is booked for more T. Cell at Julie’s place on Friday. Leaving for Bangkok next Thursday. Will be back on following Monday and May is coming to a glorious end!
Time and tide wait for no man. What else can I say? Time is analogous to an arrow? Translated from Chinese. I know this is terrible translation but who really cares? I am known to be a little corny at times. Ok, ok… … I can be very corny at times.

Finally saw Damian in person. He is absolutely gorgeous and endearing, sweeping me off my feet. His gaze makes me breathless! Before you start to let your thoughts run wild (since many have been asking me if I am attached), he is just an adorable 1 year old baby. He is simply cuddly and smiles all the time. And his smile melts hearts. Melts even the M&Ms. Haha. He is the ultimate fun to have!
Looks like this holiday is going to be fabulous! Accepted an invitation to be my tutor’s research assistant. No idea on what it entails but I suppose it will be a learning experience. And my wage is the killing of time? This means that I will have to go back to school again. Which means I can visit David and Penny (owners of the drink stall in the school canteen). I am always tickled when I chat with them. So exciting!
Went out with a small group of friends. Was quite put off by one. He got agitated when I almost could not make it for the appointment. Maybe because I did not have lunch with him the other day. And then I wanted to absent myself from this ‘gathering’… maybe that is the reason why he sent me a long sms filled with anguish. He assumed that I have to be free for his company just because I am having my holidays? Argh… …
Had much fun attending Wendy’s 21st birthday party. I mean, she willingly allowed us to ‘sabo’ her. Water bombs, powder bombs, nourishment for the skin with completely natural ingredients (grass and soil – free some more!) etc. She even put on make-up for photo-taking session. One pretty sister-in-Christ!
Went swimming just now. 20 laps. Instead of walking on sunshine, I am swimming with sunshine. Love water... ... woo... ... Been packing my days with activities to make it meaningful and enjoyable. So far, so good... ...Vesak day... ... went to West Coast for picnic with Tommy, Sharon, Joash, Shu Min, Joyce, Rachel, Michelle, Daphne, Nat, Kian Kei, Jerome, Daryl and Kian Kuan. Had to wake up early to make sandwiches. Went for cell gathering in the evening for a session of 'Pot Bless'. Had a little celebration for Wendy too. Was exhausted as I had slept for a mere 2 hours the night before. Had gone to catch Mission Impossible 3 with Simon, James, Daryl, Justin and Michelle. Was stared at by a Malay man when I took the MRT on Thursday evening. He was looking at my face, then to my necklace with a cross pendant and back to my face again. He did this a few times and despite me looking straight into his eyes, he continued. Was totally put off. Fortunately, he alighted at Toa Payoh. I think he must have thought I am a Muslim and yet was wearing a cross pendant. All thanks to the tan I got after swimming. Argh... ...

Finally caught my tutor in a colour other than blue... Haha. Pamela Soh should see this... her classmate back in NIE days. He said he would dress in maroon in my honour and he did. Naughty me kept teasing him in his usual blue shirts, so much so he had to 'pacify' me by coming to school in this T-shirt. A fabulous tutor. Absolutely no air despite his achievements. Very humble and down-to-earth.
Brought Faith and Krystal for a swim too, with Michelle Tong. The little ones were so into swimming. Such lovely children. Haha. Then we went to Sakae for lunch. They ate morsels of food. Poor Michelle could only consume soft food because of her braces. But we enjoyed ourselves tremendously!
Going to spend my holidays catching up with friends. Been neglecting them all. They had asked me out but I turned them down due to busy work. Going to meet new friends too. Finally going to fulfill my new year resolutions soon. Need to catch up on my reading too. Cleaned up my room and set up my PC... ... sense of accomplishment! Have so many things I intend to do. Going to be a very fruitful holiday. Sadly, the school which I am going for my practicum has not got back to me. So anxious. Thank God for this beautiful day!!! Woah weeh!
