uncertainty

lifegroup lunch at The Reef

You guys always make me laugh. Your youth, your vibrance and your innocence. Ruth and Eunice (my awesome lifegroup leaders!!) organized lunch at The Reef last Sunday. It was a cold and very wet Sunday. You wouldn't be able to tell from the smile on the girls' faces. And i had the seafood chowder. It was really yummm! Eunice and i then went jalan-jalan around town. I've also realised that i am unable to multi-task anymore. I cant shop and talk at the same time. It's one or the other. This is a bad sign :P

Lately, i've been thinking a lot about what's going to happen at the end of the year. There are so many choices, so many different paths to take. And the uncertainty that echoes them all. There's the option to stay or not to stay, in Dunedin, or still at Knox. The choice of where to go, where to apply, WHEN to apply? Only God knows, and i pray that my steps will be according to His will. So lots of prayer involved over the next few months. I would so love a good Christian environment to work in. How awesome would that be.

Oh God, only You know my thoughts and the cause of my forehead wrinkles. May they be wiped away (not using Botox) with your peace and reassurance. I love you, Lord, and i want to live for You. Seek first Your kingdom and i know i dont need to say but You know my heart's desires. I so wish that i could just stretch out my arms and be held forever by You. No need to think about the stress of work, sometimes, the burden of life, relationships, the future, the many decisions.. But i know. I know. You'll walk through this with me? Ya? Thank You for my family and friends, all those who have so faithfully supported and prayed for me. I only pray i will be able to love them in return just as they have loved me.

My exam is in exactly 35 days. 5 weeks. Doing my final assignment at the moment. It's not quite going at the pace i intended it to go but i know i'll get there! Must must self-discipline!! Ooh.. and i'm taking Saturday off too!!! :D So excited. I gotta get out of the main city so that i stop myself from waltzing back into work. Sometimes i think i'm a workaholic. Choice or no choice? Depends..

Hey peeps, just a lil reminder that we've got prayer meeting this Thursday i.e. tomorrow at 7.30pm at visitor's lounge at Elim church. Be there or be square :) (Until now i still am not sure what that phrase means :P)

you two

so you're now with him..
for some strange reason, i dont really like it.
i dont know him.
and in my childish mind,
i thought we were all going to be single until we all get together with our 'someones' (at the same time!) so we could all hang out together.
remember when we had to get each other's "approvals" before we went out with a guy?
haha.. if only.
i feel so old now..
as if those days were so long ago.
all too long ago.

i look at the picture
and sigh, a sigh..
a happy one, mind you
i'm glad he's found you.
we must catch up soon..
definitely a lot to talk about :)
missing you..

2007 Deutz Cancer Society Ball

My first ever charity ball :) I was pretty excited, never been to one before. Mingling with all the big-shots, haha, and just keeping to myself and the girls. I reckon the dressing up was the funnest of all. And when we got there, there was this red carpet that we had to walk up. I reached the top of the stairs and looked up just to see a photographer who snapped a picture! I hope i didnt have too startled a look :P It certainly was an experience...

The menu was stunning! Honestly.

the girls and i. we had so much fun dressing up and poking fun at each other. SO immature! :P

with Sian

All because you were there...

I cant believe it's been 3 years..

All too many things happened between then. All the good times, all the funny times. The conflicting opinions during Bible study and wondering if we have all taken our turn and covered PACTOLPOWER. =) Remember? How would i have made it through without God's gift of you all..

You all truly mean very much to me. From the first time we knew each other. You are God's answer to my prayer 5 years ago. So okay, maybe a little antisocial and not really making an effort to know other people then, just sticking to the gang, but hey, at least we are now, right? Hehee..

Remember when we stayed at Grange until 3am and Jessica's always the one who has to be the bad guy and shoo everyone home? Or spin-the-bottle at midnight? And when we did the Vitamin C song and Hakunamatata for Jamie's, Susan's and Albert's graduation? Man! I thought they were old then.. but look at us now. Heh...

I lub you guys very much..

Remember this? Sept 2004

reunion August 2007

As we go on,

we remember

All the times we had together

And as our lives change,

from whatever

We will still be,

friends forever

So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money

When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?

Will we still remember everything we learned in school?

I keep thinking that it's not goodbye

Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?

Can we survive it out there?

Can we make it somehow?

I guess

I thought that this would never end

And suddenly it's like we're women and men

Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?

Will these memories fade when I leave this town

I keep,

I keep thinking that it's not goodbye

Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

As we go on,
we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change,
from whatever
We will still be,
friends forever

A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother - Proverbs 18:24
