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

Girls are girls! Had so much fun at Marie's place today. Lee Ching, Michelle, Ernita and I were there for steamboat. The amount of food was great - Ching was nice enough to buy different types of balls because I am rather terrified of yong tau fu. Marie prepared the soup, vegetables, fish, crabmeat, egg toufu etc. Mich made Japanese Chicken Curry. I got Strawberry and Chocolate eclairs while Erni bought ice-cream and love letters. The drama queen was also at work. Trust me, I am not like this all the time. I think I was so high I started moving and twisting whenever the 'right' music was played. Okay, I have to give some credits to what I have been learning for bollywood dancing. I must salute Erni and Ching for laughing so loudly, and Marie and Mich for staying pretty cool whenever I did crazy stunts. We also played Game of Life and had desserts after that. Recorded a few hilarious clips and a more 'normal' one. Looking for some entertainment? Try the two clips below!
Performed by Marie (the pianist), Ching, Mich, Erni and Gil - A Whole New World!
Performed by Gil and Erni - Shakabonbon!
Conclusion? I love gatherings! Yes, more than shopping! In fact, I was so glad I attended Er Niang's (primary school friend) and Ah Ma's solemnisation - caught up with secondary school friends and realised quite a number are teachers! Time really flies, yah? Had dinner with Rus last night (and she was telling me about adorable Alvin's testimony) and bumped into Shanty. Faithful friends are truly treasures!
With gorgeous Er Niang - am so happy that she is finally with Ah Ma for good...
With Yibao - he never failed to tease me when we were schooling together...

Angelic Rus and her insurmountable feat - finishing the Mango Snow Ice!

Not to worry, I am there to help...

With sweet Shanty - one of the few extrinsic motivations for me to go back to APS...

Suddenly, I received a piece of news from a dear friend and realised we lost an extremely brilliant educator. It's scary what politics and favoritism are capable of doing! Am feeling very sad and uneasy but I believe everything will turn out well for him eventually because all things work for good for him who is called according to His purpose. I'll be praying for him for sure. He is a strong man and God will be his vindicator and protector! Wonder if I can help in any way... ... *sigh* It's so difficult to trust God in difficult times but His faithfulness and grace never fail!
