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

My precious Godson, Joash… …
My new nephew, Tyler… …
Esther with a pout… …
Dinner at home, with Eileen… … look at the abalone… …
Granny and her grandchildren… …
For his search on pants to be worn for practicum, I went shopping with uncle on Saturday at Takashimaya. He managed to get what he wanted. Come to think of it, I saw him consecutively for 4 days during this festive season. Haha.
Went to watch Protégé with uncle on Chinese New Year ’s Eve. Goodness! I was shocked by the crowd at Cathay Causeway Point. So I am not the only one who was not sleeping. I was charged an exorbitant $2.60 for a bottle of osmanthus green tea. Was frightened by a few scenes too. Never knew drugs are this destructive and injurious. Andy was suave throughout the movie, even at his last dying breathe. Louis’ superb acting skills were affirmed by his vivid portrayal of a revolting and vile character. The leading female actress looked ghastly and her acting skills are commendable. Great show! Uncle said it is my greatest honour to have caught the movie with him because he seldom watches movies. Argh… …
Went to Chinatown and stayed till around 4am. Again, the crowd was astonishing, though expected. Uncle and I each bought a titanic bag of nuts for a mere $3. I love nuts; explains my behaviour and state of mind most of the time.
Went to Ikea on Monday with uncle. Happened to see one of my tutors there, alone, having his lunch. Chatted with him for a while. Curious… why is he alone? Alone… Uncle had wanted to go to Giant to get fruits for his fondue but it was closed. In the end, we had to go to Cold Storage at Causeway Point to make the purchases.
I am not really keen to collect red packets from relatives during this time of the year because I feel a little too old for such blessings. Nonetheless, I accepted when I was offered. Haha. The maximum amount I received was $20. I told Justin that if I am still single this time next year, I would probably go abroad to spend my Chinese New Year. Well, he did try to get me out with Eileen for a game of bowling but who would want to play a huge light bulb?
Went to uncle’s house too for a gathering on Tuesday. Bought sushi, which Zhiyong helped to bring over. Such a fine gentleman. Met uncle’s bunch of nice friends whom I used to only see in photographs. Hit it off quite well with Evelyn. Then I went off to visit David and Penny. Had a premonition that I will see someone at the MRT and I did. This is not the first time anytime. But I am still amazed when I do see what I feel I would see. Haha.
Went to visit TomSum too. I miss Joash sooooo much. He looks so sharp and neat with a new haircut. And that brilliant smile on his face when he saw me! I would have floated off to somewhere if not for the fact that I wanted to carry him.
Finally, I am done with all my projects. Have to make my way to school to hand in the hardcopy though. Time really flies. Very soon, I will have to wake up at 5.45 am to get ready for school. Will be teaching Primary 2 English and Math, and Science to a Primary 4 class. Met my NSC. Seems like a lady with very high expectations and it is so hard to reach her (no emails and mobile numbers).
Wanted to blog about Ms Janet. Guess I will do it next time.
