BUDS

Next year, it will be our 10th year anniversary! Didn't realise it until we were reminiscing on those good old days. Time really flies.

The 7 of us met almost 10 years ago when we were in JC. Joined the most gruelling CCA and we stuck through the tough times together. Adversities really bind people together and they give birth to pure, real and quality relationships. We didn't just hold on to one another in difficult times but we also shared one another's joyous moments. Isn't that true friendship? Could not have imagine JC life without them.


Missing Edith who was searching for her bridal gown (see pic below).



Without one's realization, we have been faithfully keeping up with our ritual of meeting up on festive seasons & birthdays for the last 9 years! It sure doesn't feel that long. It was only when someone mentioned that it will be our 10th year come 2010 then it hit me that we've been friends for that long a time! Incredible.

With Edith getting married end year, things appear to be all surreal to me. Another hard fact that points to us getting older already. No more the gundoo geenas...one by one growing up to be fine young gentlemen and fair ladies.
A shot of Edith trying out her 1001 gowns , which I stole from her FB's album! Of all that she's tried, I personally think this is the best. A fusion of the oriental & eastern look. The front design is has the embroidered cheongsummish feel while the back reminds me of the victorian age! Superbly chic. Very happy for my friend! May she and her hubby-to-be be ever this blissful!

We are each established in our own ways. One en route to getting a PhD, another SIA pilot, yet another an architect. Each has our own paths to take, yet all of us are still in sync in keeping this friendship alive. Deep down inside each of us, we love and truly appreciate one another. Many years down the road, I'm quite sure when we talked about our crazy days in OAC, we will still laugh as heartily as we do now.

Some memories are meant to stay forever. Likewise for The Mighty Seven.

SHAKING OFF THE DUST

Its been a long hiatus :) So many things have taken place and so many reflections to document but the inertia to do it was just to great to resist. Anyhow, decided to take some time during this break to start the 'blogging engine' going again. Hopefully, it revives my hope and wish to keep this site alive.  Just had the annual ODAC camp @ Ubin and while trekking around the island with the kiddies yesterday, I chanced upon this little grasshopper at the Sensory Trail. I managed to get up close and personal for this shot, which was taken with my new iPhone 7 ahem. Image was sharp and it looked great!  And the verse that came to mind was: "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?....Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." - Matthew 6: 26-34 In my rest...

Count your blessings

I bought this set of keychain for my gramps. So cute right? They both love it to bits man! Haha..I'm proud of myself. A wise person said this to me this morning: "when you count your blessings, you will find many things to be thankful for...". True true. Been rather short fused these days and especially with family members. My grandma bore the brunt of it on monday when she suddenly appeared at NCC with my grandpa. I wasn't expecting her and so when I saw her, I was quite mean to ask why she was there when I actually know her intentions. I felt the way I felt because firstly I was already bothered about how to take care of grandpop when he sighs and worries about his discomfort and blah and then grandmop comes along and be herself (complain complain and ask same questions 1001 times etc). Double whammy! Anyway in a nutshell, the wise person told me early in the morning that grandmop upset that I brushed her aside that day, which I know was baddie bad bad :( ok i will...

PSALM 121

I lift my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel, will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Many a times, man fails to keep his promise but God never. He makes a promise and we can be so sure He will keep it forever and ever. Man may fail but He nevers. Sometimes, we may wonder if God is really doing the right thing for us but I know one thing - trusting Him is the only thing that can never go wrong :)
