Where art thou Gracie????

For the record, I didn't go into hiding. Somehow the month of July never seem to come. Maybe there were quite a bit of happenings that's why.

There was Queen's wedding at the beginning of July and then my maternal grandma passed on quite suddenly and her hospitalization then funeral took up the rest of the month. 2 most extreme events happened within the same time frame; I celebrated the start of a new journey of my friend and also said goodbye to por por whose journey here on earth came to a complete stop. Well, nothing pan-tang about it and I'm so not superstitous but now that I'm writing about it, it does stir some thoughts and a tad bit of emotions.

Once in a while I would spot some elderly women walking around the neighbourhood and I would be reminded of my grandma, who always come across as a hearty and fiesty lady. Well I guess her departure happened like a flash of lightning and all of us only began to feel her absence when everything has been settled and we go back to our daily routine. The exception now is that we won't see her anymore. I may not have been particularly close to her but nevertheless she is someone of my immediate family and a loss is a loss.

So July came and went just like that.

I won't even bother to blog about school since I have to do bi-weekly reflections for my record file anyway so I will rant over there! But here...it will just be my little random corner where I will just write whenever & whatever.

Till my next inspirational (blogging) moment.....

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
