Goodbye, no use leading with our chins, this is where our story ends,
Never lovers ever friends.
Goodbye, let our hearts call it a day, but before you walk away,
I sincerely want to say.
I wish you bluebirds in the spring, to give your heart a song to sing,
And then a kiss, but more than this, I wish you love.
And in July a lemonade to cool you in some leafy glade,
I wish you health, and more than wealth, I wish you love.
My breaking heart and I agree that you and I could never be,
So with my best, my very best, I set you free.
I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm,
But, most of all, when snowflakes fall, I wish you love.
I wish you shelter from the storm, a cozy fire to keep you warm,
Most of all, when snowflakes fall, I wish you love.
All kinds of love, a whole gang of love.

Immunity- nothing against a valley
another one of those 230am, in the SL posts.
just gobbled down 3 durian seeds, complements from Mark. He's so nice, texted me this morn saying he had a surprise for me. asked me to smell that secret bag when he passed it over...! ooh! that characteristic "pungent" smell..its smth like 5-8 pounds for half a KG, which i got. the gift was supposed to help me relieve stress haha.very sweet thought from a scot.cheerios!
just 1 more week, and ill be free.
to go home.
i cant wait to go back to get back to singapore.
i dunno what to expect with my friends, family and work and all...3 months.
but i know its a much needed break from glasgow.
its been a terribly eventful year, i need time to heal, rest, play and be restored.
my to do list is so long.. i really hope i have the opportunities to fulfil them:)money and time as well.
just learnt what it means to trust God with the small things that matter- important chores that if undone will mess up my life big time, however are small compared to the exams. priorities maybe. hmmm.but anyway, yeah, God is good. each step of the way, he's carrying me through. seeing me through the day, and giving me strength to go from phase to phase. im grateful. i dont even know whats going to happen tomorrow.. or how i am ever going to complete all these admin stuff before i leave glasgow, but i want to trust.
and in the middle of the night, He says" I am the one who will walk with you all the days of your life, and will never leave you. You do not need anyone else to fulfil your dreams with you, I will rebuild those broken dreams, and walk with you.."
how amazing is that?!?
this means a lot to me.
psalm 84: 5-7
Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
who have set their hearts on pilgrimage.
As they pass through the Valley of Baca (tears),
they make it a place of springs;
the autumn rains also cover it with pools (blessings).
They go from strength to strength,
till each appears before God in Zion.

canon in D
"In life, you cant always get what you want.
she loved him very much,
and even though they can never be,
till this very moment,
she always had a place for him in her heart.
because he has touched her in a way words cant describe.
only memories and tears can."
-adapted from Miss HF's chronicles.

it's 2am in the morning.still in the SL.
the mood aint as good as before, as the night becomes long, and the weariness sinks in-from revision.
Just spoke to my parents, whining about missing home, and the dreadful exams-15 days.
I have this craving for clear tom yam soup with glass noodles, and Hokkien mee. the more i think of home, and the more i try to complete Polio.. the more irritable i become.
haha, the funny thing is Im not angry. I dont get pissed.
when im feeling irritable, i actually feel like whining.
okay enough of this.
- in the background, 3 year 2s are throwing small balls around...goodness.-
Saw the sunset just now, and it was beautiful.
God speaks to me through nature.
Im thankful for He did lift me up from my distress when I called upon His name.
Im thankful for He gave me the peace of heart and mind.
Indeed, He is the Almighty, who directs and moulds.
How great are His thoughts!
How infinite are His ways, of reaching to us, who are so small.
I will never be able to fully comprehend all His purposes,
but Im sure they are good.
So even as You have so mercifully comforted and encouraged me,
I continue to seek Your will.
Teach me to be obedient to your ways,
and to learn to be submissive.
Reveal to me all unknown sin in my life,
and all my transgressions towards others.
Help me to be humble,
help me to forgive in your love oh God,
Grant me the courage to trade my desires for Your eternal will.
more of you, less of me.
Father will u put a smile on my face, especially tomorrow, that is real and sincere.
may nothing ever rob me of that joy of knowing you.
Lastly,
will you also bless all those who are dear to me:
my family
my home church
my closest friends in glasgow
and the unsaved.
Thank You Lord.
Amen.

The Armour
At this hour,
I thank God for allowing me to know and face the truth.
I thank God for bringing me out of the dark.
As difficult as it may be to love and be kind as Jesus would be,
I hope for the courage,
to shed my old skin, and do the impossible.
love my afflictors.
Father I am small and weak, but you are made strong in my weakness.
I am your creation, and my life belongs to you.
If this was what you meant to happen,
I thank you in advance for the day when I will look back and understand your purposes.
But at this very moment, I am as silent as the night is, before you.
If brokenness is what you need, here I am.
rescue me, and bring me comfort for you are my rock.
hear my cry against my injustice,
honour the desires of my heart for I have done my best to be faithful.
Help me to be joyful in you always as you have commanded,
because i am worth more than just this.
we are worth your son dying on the cross for us.
and i thank you for that love.
reveal yourself to me Father..
In Jesus most precious name,
Amen.

Year 1 Medic Ball 2006
Venue: Radisson SAS Hotel, Glasgow
date: 12th May 2006
Time: 7pm-1am
my first ball in glasgow!
it was smashing!
quite crazy.. 3 weeks before our finals, we are having a ball. and now that it's over, im thinking about exams again. I need to catch up with my revision and stress isnt helping much!
anyway...
the ball was fantastic, other than sean pissing out and we had to send him back to murano before supper.
but it was good fun.. everyone was so dressed up and pretty! we had a 3 course dinner, ceilidh (scottish) dance, disco.. and post ball events.
got to mix around with other people from other groups, dance with everyone,and know my friends better!. scots are so friendly and sociable... i just love it.
haha the dance floor was too small!
it was so so so fun dancing with everyone else! haha more hilarious, cause we were like little kids..
niece jonathan and maria are tops when it comes to stamina. esp jonathan... they danced so much!
mich and sean... sigh sigh. got tipsy too quickly!
I had my first dance ever, in all my 20 years.
and it felt....a little clumsy. yet somewhat natural.
we went to mayflower for supper till 3am. got home at half 3. watched the sunrise at 5am. slept at 6am, after washing up.
i was happy watching the seagulls flying in the sky, talking about lighthouses, and i remember tearing as i looked into the vast sky. His majesty and splendor, and His kingdom yet to come!
it was a beautiful night and morning,i know when i look back in future, I will have extremely fond memories. when i was a wee bit younger, and more naive, and .. greedy? i never thought memories were satisfying enough for me, that they couldnt mean something very very big. but i was changed, and i think, when we dunno what tomorrow holds and when we are called to greater things above, memories.. are what keeps that sentimental part of us alive. and the ones ive had, will certainly be more than enough for me to be thankful and happy.very happy. may they propel me to fulfil my calling, and you too as well.
*a toast to faith and hope and love*
it's a night i will always remember, and im sure when i look back in future, i will have very fond memories.
