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

Went to the new canteen near the Love Bridge between NIE and NTU for lunch yesterday but it was way too crowded. Finally, we settled for lunch at a cafeteria and I had Chicken Chop. The insipid soup which came along with the set meal was grainy but I enjoyed it! Haa. Love the broccoli most of all!
A not-so-new friend - pretty with silky long hair? And that smile...
Oh well, he is happily taken by one of my dearer and younger sisters. Hoho. That hair was hers.
Sweet Pearlyn bought me Sunshine Biscuits (literally translated) today. They were yummy and surprisingly not too saccharine sweet for my taste buds. Love the texture and most of all, the thought behind them. Friends, what would I do without them?
Met my ICT (a module during my first semester in NIE dip ed years) tutor. We smiled as we walked past each other. I was pleasantly taken aback when I heard my name being called and realised that it was him! At that instant, I couldn't recall how to address him (so embarrassing), except that he is one inspiring tutor full of charisma. He actually remembered my name and that I am supposed to have graduated. Of course, I explained that I crossover to the degree program and he expressed his congrats. I really am touched by this brief interaction but he is leaving NIE in six months. Till we meet again, may he continue to impact many more student teachers...
What is love? *sigh* Many of my friends have been falling in and out of love recently. Or should I just say that they are merely in and out of relationships, since I am not sure of their 'love' for their partners and ex-partners? There seems to be an insidious expression of 'love', which in my opinion, is totally (and painfully) destructive and selfish. Can only wish them the best and learn to look at the brighter side of things.
I have a new 'son'! Talented Elson (he plays several musical instruments and composes) calls me 'Ah Bu' since 'mother' is taken up by Lucas. And Daphanie followed suit! Gosh, is it a blessing to exercise this maternal instinct or not? Haa.
Celebrated Sharon's birthday with a 'surprise' last night with Kenneth, Daryl, Nicky, John, Jerome, Dawn, Kuen, Xinying and her bf. Failed to be Cinderella and reached home after twelve. Today's lesson started at 0830 and I reached school at 0740, thanks to Tommy who gave me another lift. Deprived of sleep again. Actually, am missing Jojo. Missed his smiles, tickling ways, hugs, kisses etc. When will I see him again?
Mich dropped Language Testing so I am all alone for CMS's class. Reminds me of the days for DRT's module last semester because I was separated from the rest. Lonely but filled with the opportunities to know more friends with greater depths.
He said he had a vivid dream of me at a crossroad and told me to make a decision. I find this a little absurd and if I really have to make one, I believe I have already done it. Well, such bizarre calls do visit from time to time. Haa.
