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
Went to Suntec with the princesses and aunt on Wednesday and had a late lunch at Kenny Roger. It was their first time there and Krys fell in love with the Macaroni Cheese. Esther finished a bowl of creamy chicken soup all by herself while my aunt enjoyed the coleslaw. As we walked, I couldn't help but noticed all the Christmas decorations. Love the hanging Christmas trees, Christmas carols, lightings… 2008 is coming to an end! I’ll be graduating in less than half a year’s time! I’ll commence teaching formally soon! I’ll be turning XX years old in next to no time! Argh… … :-X
I nearly became Snow White one afternoon. Hahaha. Was taking the first bite of a lovely red apple and got choked on it. For that split second, I couldn’t decide between forcing it down and coughing it out. Eventually, I tried very hard to push that mouthful of life-threatening fruit down my throat. For the next few minutes, I could feel that jagged piece of element slowing maneuvering along my esophagus until its presence can longer be intensely felt. Thank God I am still alive!
Imaging smelling like lychees from neck down. Haha. Have been keeping this bottle of lychee scented body foam in my cupboard and finally decided to hold the ‘opening ceremony’ a few days ago. The bathroom was saturated with the aroma and I’ve never felt this fruity before! l-D
Bought frozen multi-grain pumpkin buns (from Carrefour) home. Steamed one for breakfast (Yummy!) before I went swimming. Look at the back of my shoulders!
There are new shoots growing from the parent cactus in my little pot! Beautiful!
Sometimes I feel that I really have very inconsiderate neighbours. They can hammer the walls near midnight! (-_-)
If they decide to acknowledge him in any way, I will have nothing to do with them. This is how far I will go to maintain my stand and protect him!
It’s so hard to love - extending forgiveness and grace - when the excruciating pain screams vociferously in every living cell.
I don’t want to continue guessing anymore - what’s the point of knowing? I don’t want to try anymore - it’s not helping. I don’t want to be hurt anymore - the pain in my heart can’t go on. I don’t want to cry anymore - the tears are drying. I don’t want to think about it anymore - the betrayal is perplexing. I don’t want to fight anymore - can’t do anything about it anyway.
Only God can help... ...

I want to conquer these the next time I go for KTV. Hahaha.
Went swimming with my aunt, Krys, Esther and Ching today. Ching taught me a great way to manage my hair after swims. Hee. Finally managed to get a nice little tan too. We also went to the brand new Japanese Food Court at North Point for lunch. Nice ambience!
My lunch wasn't up to my expectation because the cabbage was pretty raw and rather tasteless. Krys had Salmon Omelette Rice which was cheesy. Ching's beef rice was the best - am going to try that next time.
Had my first Bollywood Dance lesson with Sabrina, Marie and her mum - it was fun in the freezing and spacious studio - and the instructress (Natasha) happens to live near me. Maybe I should consider going to her house for lessons on Belly Dance and more! We had to be in tight-fitting tops (which I was uncomfortable in) and danced bare-footed. So far, I feel that it involves a lot of shoulder movement. Oh yes, and we have to be conscious of our facial expressions and more! (*o*)
Went to Terminal 3 with my aunt, Krys and Esther yesterday to purchase souvenirs for Krys' host family. She is flying to Japan on Thursday - am going to miss her! Can't wait to go to the zoo with them when she returns.
TomSum lent me Harvest Times. Read a few articles so far and the one by Rev Dr Yonggi Cho - Rhema - is enlightening! Indeed, while logos is given to everyone, rhema is the specific word given to that specific person in a specific situation. Choosing The Right Partner For Life by Rev Dr Kong Hee is practical too, but I wonder how useful the six compatibility time bombs are for me. Haa.

Bought a packet of Lurve but it wasn't fiery enough. Hoho. Love the quote...
Tim left. Will miss fighting both physically and verbally with him. Haa.
Am in the mood for origami... and this needs twelve basic units to form.
A paper vase... so no water, please. Maybe I should make a few lilies to complement it...
This electra is the ultimate - requires thirty basic units - and took me a little over two hours. Believe it will look stunning in silver without the staples.
Jojo almost came home with me last night in his pyjamas. One day, TomSum, I shall babysit him all by myself! Hehe. Caught Jo singing. Adorable!

Are these considered suspicious items?
Krystal tried the cone pizza at North Point - nothing fantastic really...
This is how serious Jo can get when it comes to trains!
The train expert was acting cool by stuffing his chubby hands into his pockets. Ooo, charming!
Ginormous onion ring at Carl's Junior.
Finger licking good donuts, what else?
Esther loves calamari, just like me!
This is the best part of the tom yum noodles at Horizon Foodcourt - delicately wrapped liquidized sunshine! Haha.
Exams are over!!!

Have always suspected but there was no confirmation nor evidence. Now that I know the truth, I cannot help but be affected by it. There are endless questions to which I would probably never find the answers. Why did it come at a time like this? How do I face them as if I'm still ignorant? Couldn't sleep on Friday night. Wanted so much to cry but I couldn't. It's so trying - following God's laws while struggling with my own emotions. Sometimes, I wish they would come clean. Sometimes, I wish I am forever kept in the dark. Sometimes, I wish I could truly remain nonchalant. Sometimes, I wish I am void of emotions. Perhaps this explains his behaviour - too hurt by someone who means so much.
Today's sermon is on Growing Deep In God Through Tough Times and the preacher emphasised that regardless of situations, God loves us. Indeed, there are no triumphs without trials and insight comes from hindsight. I need to know and acknowledge that He is in control at all times, and His strength is perfected in all my weaknesses. Shouldn't be concerned about whether there is removal of the thorn. As the preacher narrated his sister's death and how God's grace was manifested, I am reminded of my uncle's death. His departure brought my mother and her sisters back to talking terms. I know all things work for good because He is my shepherd... ... Things could have been worse!

Read one of the booklets from Discovery Series - Mary & Joseph: Reflecting On The Wonder Of Christmas. A fresh look can revolutionize our appreciation of truth that might be in danger of growing stale and tired. The beauty of obedience shows us the wisdom of taking God seriously and the folly of self-determination. It reminds us that God is sovereign and we are not. I cried when I am reminded once again that 'You could have chosen anyone but You chose me', even when I am not all that lovable...
Isn't He beautiful? Beautiful, isn't He? King of kings Almighty God Isn't He, isn't He?

Yeah! Obama won!!!
Very few people can tease me mercilessly and get away with it unscathed, but Ching and MichTan did it. Haha.
Finally get to wake up late...

What do you gain from being associated with me? Are you sure we are attending the same church? I haven’t even seen you in person before and there you are, trying every means to get acquainted with my friends! Digging for information? Are you sure they are providing you with the right particulars about me? Don’t you get it? I’ve been ignoring all your messages and smses. Now my friends are questioning me about your existence and my relationship (is there any in the first place?) with you! It was a grievous mistake clicking the button and accepting you as a friend. It’s either you are out of your mind or desperately in need of some special attention! When will you stop haunting me and my friends?
Inspiring! He makes me feel like dancing...
Syl came today and we are almost done with DKD's assignment. Going to continue tomorrow at 8.30am! And there is still Science test at 5.30pm...

Syl just left after spending a few hours doing DKD's project with me. Have to meet again tomorrow. In the midst of serious work, we had some fun - she posed with my built-in shelves overflowing with gifts and collections.
DKD's notes are scattered all over the floor - looks like we are working on a big case? Hoho.
We were working with two computers on my incredibly messy table. Trust me, my working space is usually neat and tidy if not for this assignment!
Bought kuehs for family consumption. Well, Syl dug into them as well. Call these benefits?
See you tomorrow, Syl... =D
Am over with my Math test. It is so much easier compared to the first test we had. What a relief! And before I left school, I bumped into DJY - one of the most inspiring tutors in NIE. E-mailed my reflection to him at eleven plus last night and he has finished marking! What else is amazing? He remembered the content of my reflection and complimented me! Whao!
Am reminded part of a song - maybe I don't know this much, but I know this much is true, I am blessed because I am loved by You...

Above all kingdoms Above all thrones Above all wonders The world has ever known Above all wealth And treasures of the earth There's no way to measure What You're worth
Above all powers Above all kings Above all nature And all created things Above all wisdom And all the ways of man You were here Before the world began
Crucified Laid behind the stone You lived to die Rejected and alone Like a rose Trampled on the ground You took the fall And thought of me Above all
Once again, I am overwhelmed by His love for me...
True humility is not about ourselves. Hear not only the good stuff, but the full stuff.
Krystal took this video of Esther while she was dancing - cute!

Yeah! Finally done with DR's group work after spending almost the entire day at Ching's cosy home. Had a lovely dinner at my aunt's place - I love the soups she cooks - and took a clip of Krystal for project purposes. Kind of spacing out now. Have to study for Math and Science tests, and do Science reflection on my own, fast! *sigh* Still, there is DKD's pair work with Syl and group work with Marie and Ching. Poor Syl got a bad fright from searching for pictures on teeth! There's so much more to do I wonder how and when I can commence studying for the exams. Three more weeks to go!
Do they sell timid baby chips? Hoho.
Thanks to Jo, I know who are Thomas, Percy, James, Gordon etc.
My dearest godson sang me a song composed by his talented mum. I simply melted...
