a look at the more important things in life..

today, i was walking to my train station..
and i passed by this lady wearing a sarong and using an umbrella..
she glanced at me as she walked towards the grass, away from the cement pavement..
i saw her bend down and take her slippers off..
then she held them in her hand and gingerly continued walking on the grass..
it seemed like she had a slight tilt at the sides of her lips..

its amazing how one's words does reflect what his/her brain constantly dwells on.
do you constantly talk about a certain topic?
does it reflect your innermost desire?
don't hide it. don't deny it.
the world might already know.

my dog is sick.
it hasnt fully sunken into my head that i might lose him soon.
its taking its toll on not only his body, but on my family.
especially on audrey.
both physically, emotionally and mentally.
thanks jie.
its sad to see him so sick.
when it was he who caused us to spend so much energy catching him to bathe/stop barking/getting things from him that shouldnt be his.
now..my sister spends her energy trying to get him to eat.
not only his medicine..but any form of sustenance.

i was staring at him just now..he's so gaunt.
no longer our "fatty".

its been a good 13 years..and i guess its almost time to say adieu.
but its not easy.
he's a part of us already.


slow dancing

I saw the LIght
Words and music by Hank Williams
1948

I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin;
I wouldn't ask my dear Saviour in.
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night;
Praise the Lord, I saw the light!

Chorus
I saw the light, I saw the light.
No more darkness; no more night.
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight.
Praise the Lord, I saw the light!

Just like a blind man I wandered alone,
Worries and fears I claimed for my own.
Then like the blind man that Jesus gave back his sight;
Praise the Lord, I saw the light!


Chorus
I saw the light, I saw the light.
No more darkness; no more night.
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight.
Praise the Lord, I saw the light!

I was a fool to wander astray,
For straight is the gate and narrow is the way.
Now I have traded the wrong for the right;
Praise the Lord, I saw the light!


Chorus
I saw the light, I saw the light.
No more darkness; no more night.
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight.
Praise the Lord, I saw the light!


Psalm 46:1
"God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble."

tommy emmanuel sang this song acapella on saturday.
=)

refresh me daily.

WARNING: this is going to be a rambling, random post. so if you're up for it please read on.

i miss tandoori chicken from Can A.
i miss school.
but at the same time, it sickens me a lil that school is about to start.

i have not done all that's on my to-do list for the holidays.
my room is still a sky blue.
its supposed to have made friends with pink and yellow by now.
my room is still a surprise-me room, and not an alphabetical one.

i have 3 weeks left.
one week for Leader's conference.
one week for FOC.
one week to unwind, preferably at Sentosa, a pub and a coffee joint.
and then the shocker of it all when school kicks in,
and on the inside, i would keep wanting to fight the feeling of being back in school.
and before you know it, common tests hit you right in the face.
sighh.

i'm growing up too fast.
i want to be a toys'r'us kid forever.
i know my wife would love to join me.


worship was a lil messy today.
me played quite a number of wrong chords, using the wrong sounds,at the wrong times.
sigh.
drummer played a few messy beats out of the blue.thankfully it was kinda minimal.
worship didnt climax as well as it could have.
i need to improve on my synthe playing. my ears are not tuned.
if i had tunas for ears..maybe i'll be better off? haha. joke. laugh please.

it felt good to be back in church.though i still miss worshipping with the thousands.
i missed my youths, and my cousins quite a lot.
i'm praying for a new anointing in our worship meetings, that our congregation will once again come back to the heart of worship and just really adore our Lord, passionately, for who He is.

got my letter that i wrote to God, during last year meta camp. Ju sent the letters back out to us.
and yay. in my letter, whatever i asked of God, i can see it coming to pass in my life now.
it makes me just feel so happy. to know that hey, there is Someone who has my back and IS watching over me. wonderful security, i say.

last night i came up with new words..
dumb+funny= dunny
retarded+funny=renny
crazy+funny=funzy.

i want to go to a lazy quaint town, to just sip a cup of coffee and people watch.

if i wasnt called andrea..i wonder what name would suit me.

i can't wait for tommy emmanuel's concert this saturday. my ears are all pumped(not literally) for new tunes.
i love concerts and performances, makes you feel inspired and pensive and happy all at once.

i miss chemistry and physics practicals. either with mr Loh or piangpiang.

ok. i need chocolate.

ONION HAS YOOUU!!!

I AM BACK FROM KOREA!!

and missing it like crazy.

it was fantastic fun. too many things to blog about. will do so..
er.. soon.

anyhoo..
this entry is for jason. cos he asked me to blog about it. so i shall. cos why? cos i am a good girl.

okay. entry title..: one more requirement i wish to have in my future boyfriend..should God permit.(HAHA!)

to bring me on excursions!
esp. to the streets with weird names, in singapore! YEAH!

i came up with it when i passed by Kay Poh street.

just to walk through it would be suffice.company is more impt. and who knows..we might discover more exciting stuff about Singapore!

someone who has a kid in him. but matured too.
and does things in the spur of the moment. (not all the time mind you. cos i am, above all, a creature of habit.)

any takers? haha!
(zixiang..stop pointing at yourself.i know you are.haha!)

it has been a great day.
learnt new stuff.
got my heart broken by the prices of somethings.
totally totally satisfied the voyeur in me.
shared God's Word with His people in the spur of the moment. again.
when your heart starts to beat faster, you just can't fight it.

and i Thank You.

why die hopelessly, wondering why?
there IS hope beyond the grave.
