just got back from Joyce's 21st birthday celebration which was a great hit! with many thanks to Cheryl, Brian, Howard, Peter and Liwei for all the planning and actions carried out.
always loved time-out together with this bunch of pple. always filled with much fun, laughter and love. sparks may be flying here and there but the camaraderie is going great. love it!
an ode to Joyce...
thanks for being the can-do woman for all of us. always so selfless, loving and giving, never withholding. the standards are set so high, but yet never imposed on others but self. she is truly a woman of our times. Joyce, rock on with your zest and zeal and continue making an impact in the year ahead! You deserve it babe!

the travelling back to school was yet another great time of hilarity. with six of us walking down the street like we own the road, we do look kinda distraught. to think we saw a maxi-cab and thought the uncle signaled for us to go over and to only see him board the cab and go off when he saw us walking over. God, bless this man. we wonder what went wrong.
it was quite a sight to see us walking down the street with all our 'barangs' and stopping cabs that came along our way. i think we were only short of singing to have gotten really 'high'. but anyway, thankful for the third cab that stopped and sent us all back to our lovely school and comfort of Karu's home. which now i get the luxury of blogging. haha.

today feels different yet again. with myself all dolled up, with kudos to min and karu, the attention got a bit overwhelming but yet pleasant. with a little effort, i could really look so much better. hehe. feeling a little bit more feminine now. thanks gals for showing me the way! =p
with that aside, went for a waffles treat with bestie today. i'm glad that this long overdue treat has now been given and now both of us enjoy the liberty of waffles. it seems like an end but yet the start of something different - or perhaps, it has always been a continuation. the conversations that we had granted me greater insights of the friendship that we both share. but even more so, what is it that i really want to see God do in our lives - the destiny and calling He has for each of us. there is so much that each of us can do in our individual capacity. i'm learning not to be hung up over certain areas now. and more than ever before, the serenity that i feel in my heart to not think so much but to be led and just do it.
things may change but i know that God never will. and that settles many many of the issues and questions that i may have now. even i don't know, He knows. i just need to learn to hear and follow...
looking forward to greater breakthroughs and growth...

just got back from the supposed girls' night out at adm hill. but anyway, it was pretty cool to have Chris, an exchange student from New Zealand to join us. we got a whole lot of people there after, making it 10 of us.
with all kinds of tea - lemon, green, peach and mango, and fruits, alongside chocolate, we had a chocolatey time on top of adm. not forgetting the dozens of stars and satellites that we could see. the night was sprinkled with loads of laughter and wholesome fun. talked, played and had sabos. not forgetting a gues performance by jeremy, who wrote his whole song. haha. the people were literary mesmerized and 'stuck on you'. sure looking forward to him completing the song and hear him sing the whole song.
learnt a lot today, including how different things are over in new zealand. compare the size of queenstown here and there, it really is a whole world of difference. talk about fresh milk that expires only a month later, which is never the case over in new zealand. and one of our favourite delicacy abalone is never yellow and in cans. they get it fresh from the sea, black in colour with blue shimmery shells. and they even make fritters out of it. astounding! i do look forward to the day where i can travel and backpack around the world. i like the diversity of cultures we have all around and to be able to learn something new each day never fail to awe me.
even with rocks, solid fuel and a pot, a storm of fun and friendships could be whipped up. do look forward to stronger friendships being forged and more girl times ahead!
woman are so wonderfully complex...
