The Bestie


Introducting .........JOANNA YAP HWEE EE!!!!
Who is she???? Ha...my bestie since secondary school. Actually we knew each other in primary school but she keeps insisting we didn't! But I forgive her because I'm pretty used to her left-much-to-be-desired memory! Hahaha

On hindsight, how we became fast friends and eventually best of pals is something quite amazing. We gradually became closer (as friends) and before I know it....zoooommm...its been almost 11 years leh!

We graduated from sec sch, then went on to different JCs and Uni (she did hers overseas @ Melbourne). At first we thought we'll lose touch when we're separated but no leh. But during the period of separation, we totally missed the calling of each other activity! Goodness, during our JC days, we'll talk on the phone like nobody's business. I don't even know how we can have so much to say to each other everyday! Even during our preparations for the 'As'! Ha...sometimes we wondered if we didn't talk to often, maybe we could have done better for our A-levels :)

Throughout the last decade, we hardly quarrelled. Seriously! Now that I think about it, its true. Yes we have our moments of irritation and misunderstandings but we don't stay angry with either one for too long. How blissful right? Maybe married couples or dating ones should consult us on how to keep a friendship going on and on and on....:)

I am thankful for this wonderful friendship. Its priceless. These days, people come and go but to be able to have a friend who truly stands with you through thick and thin is not easy to find. I'm sure Jonana feels the same way too! I know even when we get married and have our own families (IF IF IF), we will still remain besties!















These pictures must be archived! We took this after a LLLllllllllooooooooooooooooooooong time of procrastination! I felt we better capture our 'dates' as often as we can because now that both of us are working, we see each other less. And its so weird to have so little pics of bestie while i have tons of pictures with others! How can right???? Besides we r both foodie, so I should capture some yummy gourmet too! :)

Wo(Man) of the hour

As I read the tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, I can't help but feel this profoundly deep admiration for this immensely brilliant forefather of Singapore. I was in awe of his contributions and how his influence is so pervasive in modern Singapore, yet so few actually heard and know of his legacy. The more I read on about what people remembered of him and his long list of accolades, the more proud I am to be a Singaporean. I never knew places of interests like our zoo, bird park and even Sentosa were his ideas! These are just a tiny fraction of his contributions. My gosh....it was just an incredible discovery and I was hooked to the Saturday's Special edition on 'Remember Dr Goh Keng Swee'. Strangely, my heart was pounding as I read and later reflected on this titan's life. Instinctively, a question came to mind i.e. will there be another titan like Dr Goh, Mr Lee KY, Mr Wee Kim Wee or the other members of the Old Guard in my generation? Will I get to see one em...

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...

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 :)
