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

Had a family gathering (with TomSumJo as well!) and we were luxuriating in a feast at mum’s stall. Try not to drool on your keyboard etc. when you look at these pictures. Haa.
The Than Sisters... Aunt Monica (extreme right) was busy tasting a few of the hot desserts despite after having an extremely heavy lunch! That's the power of a great cook - my mum (extreme left)!
Mixed Vegetables – love my broccoli!
Vegetarian Mutton Curry with plenty of potatoes. This dish is an absolute delight if you love mushrooms.
Vegetarian Sambal Fish with a generous amount of eggplants and lady’s fingers.
Sweet and Sour Vegetarian Fish – sliced thinly and fried for extra crunch.
Aunt Tina brought many other dishes too - crabs, roasted pork, fried chicken, duck, prawns and jelly fish.
My Godson! *scream* He had a fun time playing with Esther but I didn't manage to take pictures of them.
Tommy and Sharon got these crackers (limited edition) for me from Diaso. So sweet of them, right?
Was shopping with TomSumJo and Yvonne at Metro when our dear prince was busy trying on shades. He asked for his pictures to be taken too! Call him 'Mr Vain'? Hoho.
Bought Yan Yan biscuits, which were tasty and educational, for Jo. Was mumbling into his ears about the characteristics of herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, mammals etc. Never underestimate this baby genius!
Found an Education Psychology textbook (told you that I’ve been picking up things) which is brand new – should cost about $50 – in the female toilet in NIE. This careless girl didn’t even write her name in her book! Had no choice but to leave it with one Security Officer and thank God she got her book back – even sent me an sms to thank me.
I kind of enjoyed Qiye’s and Huiling’s company during CMS’s tutorial – they can get pretty wild! *lalalalalala* And I believe CMS called out my mother's name (incredibly?) when he was attempting to pronounce my dialect name!
I dreamt of ZZ and a few others last night – we were singing at a KTV. Perhaps it was because ZZ messaged me late last night before I slept. Or am I missing her?
There are people who practically leave you in the lurch after exploiting you to the fullest – and they are supposed to be the ones who walk with you and help you become a better person. Unfortunately, they are also the ones who think the world of themselves and believe they are almost indispensable. To have reached such a sorry state, they should have learnt their lessons? Apparently not! Okay, maybe I am being nasty here… *sigh* This world will do better with more gestures of appreciation and less comparisons!
Been introduced to an accountant recently and Aunt Tina wants to add another to my list. Even asked if I mind if he is in his early 40s. Haha. Why should I? The older the better - just like wine...
So much had happened. Indeed, the greatest challenge and achievement lie in dealing constantly with yourself in the face of disappointments and difficulties!
You hold my world in the palm of Your hands, and I am Yours, forever… You’re the reason that I live, the reason that I sing, with all I am…
Can’t wait to go to church tomorrow!
