I used to think that I can be quite stylo when it comes to relationship. I thought I will be the "拿得起放得下" kind. But I realised that it is not so easy for me afterall. 4-5 years ago, I used to like this guy from my church. We are kinda close friends and we always go out together with other close buddies. That time, I was still new in the adults group, so not many friends. Thus, this group of buddies are kinda dear to me. However, some things went super wrong and I think I destroyed the entire matter thus it became ashes. Even the friendship with this guy didn't really continue on. Though we still keep in contact on and off, but somehow, this is not the kind of friendship that we used to share anymore.

I think I have hurt him quite badly back then. But now, I'm glad that he has found his ideal life partner and is getting married soon. Happy for him.

As for me, it took me quite a few years to get over. Haha... But I am glad that I'm over it too.

Now, I am just missing the guy that God has specially put in my life.

He has been away for reservist for the past 11 days and 4 more days he will be back in Singapore. In fact, every sms that he sent me from Thailand makes me smile.

It may sounds absurd but I think I have never imagine that I can have the privilege to fall in love. And God gave him to me.

Hope that we will continue to grow in the likeness of Christ together and work towards what God has called us to do.

A year has passed and I am still enjoying this journey. Although we had many disagreements and misunderstandings at times, I am glad that we resolved them the way God wants us to. Hoping for more days with ya...

Looking forward to your return.

Kirk Franklin - Lean On Me

This is for the little child with no father
For that man that doesn't have a place to stay
And for that little boy living with AIDS
(Now tell your story, tell your story)
You can lean on me

There's a man (Oh yeah)
Standing on the corner
He has no home, he has no food
And his blue skies are gone (Yes it is)
Can't you hear him crying out

And there's a girl
Searching for a father and a friend
Praying that the storm someday will end
But instead of walking away
Open up your heart and say

Chorus:
I am here
You don't have to worry, I can see your tears
Ill be there in a hurry when you call
Friends are there to catch you when you fall
Here's my shoulder, you can lean on me

Oh there's a child who is sick and begging to be free
But there is no cure for his disease
He looks up to his mother as
As she hold (holds)
His hand (his hand)
Praying that someday the sun will shine again
And the pain (and the pain)
Pain will end (will end), come on

Chorus

Tell me how can I, how can I love Jesus
When Ive never seen His face
Yet I see you dying
And I turn and walk away

So hold my hand, let me take you to a friend of mine
Hes waiting just to ease your troubled mind
Yeah, yeah, He loves you more than you'll ever know
Instead of walking away, open up
Open up your heart and say

Meet up with the Oldies

Managed to successfully plan a small dinner gathering with some of the oldies... Mostly pple from HS A and also one who has been around since his sec 1 days...

The peeps who turned up were Nicole, Gerald, Ray Phay, Jialin and Geok Eng. Of cos.. plus me! hahaha... imagine that some of us have not met up for years... but you know something, there isn't a bit of awkwardness at all. :p everyone's busy asking each other questions until I felt a little neglected... hahaha... maybe because I am the one that met up with most of them most of the time.

The dinner was full of catching up, discussion, sharing of the past, talking about our jobs, relationships etc. It was fruitful beyond words. No longer we are just talking about our studies, our ECAs, our evangelism and ministries etc. The catchups seems to cover more aspects as we grow older... Talk about growing old. I believe that we have all grown so much in age.

haha... after the dinner, I think everyone's reluctant to go back but what to do.. we are all working the next day. But I guess we will be looking forward to the next meet up soon. :)

Sometimes, I just felt that smaller group settings are easier to manage and share life with. Everyone gets a chance to share their opinions and ideas... that's why I find cell group such a brilliant idea!!

I want to include everyone of cos but it is really challenging to be able to find out more about one another's lives.

Want to organise more gatherings like this.

The next round will be Jeremy Goh, JX, Shirls, Jasmine, Roy n Shuz etc... Hope to meet up with these peeps more... soon...

4 months and counting...

Time flies... 4 months ago, I was still trying my best to move out of Hope and settle in a new church. Now is already Sept and very soon.. I am going to turn into 28 le. faint... hahaha... why does birthday approach us so fast? I was still celebrating my 21st birthday back then... (ya right... can't even remember anything significant about my 21st bdae except the fact that I spent it at Joo Chiat... with the YWAM peeps...)

So what about the past 4 months?

I have attended the Membership Class, Ministry Class and also trying my best to fit into my new cell, which is filled with all the married couples and some single ladies, and besides their children whom attended cell with them, I am confirmed the youngest in the group! (So, Lord, please don't bring any peeps that are younger than me into the cell.. i'll lose my status... lolz...)

I can say that I truly miss the people in my ex-CG... Every single FB message or sms or even email, touches me a lot. The matter and the fact is that I often can't help but wanting to hear from them... really miss them...

At the initial stage of the transition, I often cried because I can't help but to miss the fun and laughters that I used to share with the group. But now, I have learnt that I can laugh everywhere I go. No doubt, Tricia's laughter is always contagious... :p

Into my 5th month in Lighthouse now, I've came to realised that re-learning fundamentals can be refreshing too.

Need to teach myself to stay focus and stay on Him and Him alone. :)
