Little bliss amidst the mist

Whatever is left of this 1 week break is just the rainy weekend and bits & pieces of work left to be settled. Sounds pathetic but I shall not dwell in that anymore. Strangely, I'm find myself enjoying just being home (especially in this weather) and dabbling in whatever I feel like doing. Own time own target.

Honestly, I didn't really have a break. With 4 days spent in school (oral and ODAC camp)...where thou the break? Its a good thing the hollie is ending soon; so I won't feel so shortchanged! But that's how it is. After all, I'm not Grace in Wonderland.

As I come to terms with my horrid practicum job scope, I am thankful I'm born a positivist and fighter. There's always things to brighten up my day. Just yesterday I went groceries shopping with my mother and grandmother. Grandma saw me and exclaimed (in cantonese btw) that my lips are chapped and both got into this mini frenzy to get whatever cooling drinks/jellies etc to reduce the heatiness. I just stood there and watched the action. Hmmm...all I can say is...I feel loved!

Another bliss to make mention of: I actually stayed home the whole of today and not feel bored but of course strange things always befall me. I left to run some errands without bringing my keys thinking my sis would be home. Alas, she went out and locked the main door! I was locked out for almost an hour and my bro came to my rescue; he left immediately from his dance class to come home. Again, I am loved.

It is the little things that make me realise that what may seem to be of a mountain is actually just a molehill. Human nature I guess to want to harp on things that we often have no control over. Maybe by doing so, it makes us feel more in control. Nonetheless, its good to know that I can still see the blissful moments albeit brief.

Sitting down in front of the computer and listening to 'All The Earth' for the 10th time. Its Anais's off day and we have been trying to upload our pictures onto Facebook. I've got my Day 1 up but poor Ana, still trying to get hers up! Have been in Cambodia for 5 days and returning to Singapore on thursday. Previously, time seem to snail by but as I browsed through the pictures taken of the past few days, I realised that its not that slow after all. Coming to Cambodia this time was different. Was supposed to lead a team to LIA but ended up not because of lack of preparation time and inadequate response. Anyhow, I just felt I should make a personal trip up to see for myself the work at LIA and sense what God is doing in this land. Prior to the trip, I've been reading about Cambodia's news and they just appear everyday in the papers. Well it can't be more clear than this so I went. Followed Anais as she goes to and fro the b oys' & girls' home to t

Breather

Back from a Sec 3 level camp in JB, Tanjung Piai. Thought I could have the week's off to clear my brain's cache and prepare my lesson plans but alas...I'm down for ODAC camp and sec 4s' oral exam mock practice! When can I have my breather???? Sometimes I wonder whether returning to a familiar place is good for me after all. I'm like on the 'Wanted' list for this committee, that committee, this event, that event etc. Not that I'm popular or high-in-demand, its just that I'm nicely available. I'm not usually mindful of taking on responsibilities. Its just that during these 10 weeks, I reckon is a crucial component of my NIE understudy and I am not wanting to settle for something less in my planning (although i really hate lesson plannings!). But I'm so stretched! I feel like screaming: " GIVE ME MY SPACE!" To say the least, I'm feeling stressed. Most unfortunately, I'm not given the option to say 'No'. Not until I get

Eat....Laugh....Be Merry!

Anais and myself finally satisfied our craving for chilli crab...after 2 weeks! YESSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHH.........:) happy happy! Together with Ben, Brian and my sis, we headed to Sembawang to indulge in some seafood delicacies that included huge cereal prawns and stingray. It was also a form of celebration for Anais who graduated not too long ago! You bet we were so stuffed after that! Anais still wanted ice-cream after the meal but we were already max. out in terms of stomach's space and capacity. Yummy food was of course the highlight but what was more memorable was the company. First time hanging out with Ben and Brian and it turned out to be a hilarious time! Good food eaten with 'happening' people makes it even more tasty. I treasured this time of fellowshipping as I got to see a different side of people and getting to know them better. More of such makan sessions is good for bonding! Singaporean leh..:) From left: Ben, Jasmine (sis), me, Anais and Brian Happy we went, tota
