By probably the only 3 people who are reading my blog at this moment, this is what I’ve been doing this week.

Monday – picked up the sister from the airport, Conca’s for chilli mussels
Tuesday – lunch at Ps Judy’s, shopping in the city, dinner at Freo’s Sweet Lips, drinks & desserts at Little Creatures, xbox at Jem’s.
Wednesday – dimsum at Royal in Northbridge, shopping at Mt Lawley, dinner at Ling’s place.
Thursday – North & South at home, KFC for dinner (we walked to KFC and back. Yes.), 1907 for cocktails, The Moon for munchies.

Friday (proposed and planned) – lunch and epic with E, lingering about the city, dinner at some Italian place.
Saturday (proposed and planned) – Kairos in the day, Little Caesars for dinner.

I’m a little torn between dinner tomorrow and the conference tomorrow. Much as I’d love to go, the sister might like to taste and see more of Perth. It’s crazy, this torn in between decisions stuff. Considering that no road trips have been executed this winter holidays, I’m just really tempted to get away somewhere. Or maybe just hibernate at home and play PopCap games on the computer.

And I need a new pair of jeans for very practical reasons. I shall hunt down a pair tomorrow. I adore black jeans and I want a pair. Pronto.

It’s 3.30am and I’m rambling. No pictures because Sister had been taking all the photos. Like literally everywhere. I’ve not had so many flash-bangs for the longest time ever.

okay goodnight

july.

Yea, I’m in need of July archives. The holidays have been pretty much coming in waves. Becky came and left, and then I had a week of catch ups and stay home-s. And Peis is coming tonight!

I know there’s nothing much left to say, especially after so long. And I think only Asmah reads my blog now. Hahah.

Oh just to tell you, SFTW is up and running again with Version 2.0! I’ve kicked off with the first post, and Jess will do the other on Thursday. Posting will decrease by 60%, I suppose to come up with better quality posts, and also so that we will not overwork ourselves. (I know I know, it’s the holidays. WAIT TILL SCHOOL STARTS I TELL YOU.)

BTW, I bought Soursop Green Tea from The Good Store, on the other end of the road where I stay (yeah I stay on the other other end) and ohmann, it smells like absolutely heaven. <3<3<3 It cost me 10 bucks and is gonna last me till Christmas, apparently. Becky bought one too! Ask her to let you try if you’re in Singapore.

Okay I’m gonna head off to another full week. I’ll catch you around. <3

140 characters.

The whole account of the drama of the last paper (with the drama taken out) in 140 characters - Twitter style:

Though paper was at 2. It was at 1. Got there at 1.50, was allowed to sit for it, and finished on time. God's favour, grace & peace FTW!

I'm done.

one more reason why i need to stop wearing ponytails.

From White Ninja Comics.

i don’t need to see it to believe it.

.. Cos I can’t shake this fire burning deep inside my heart.

From an email I just sent out:

.. but when it's not 'powered' by love, or by.. I don't know.. whatever. it's just a crazy steep uphill climb. It's one thing to stop striving, it's another to hold on the not-striving long enough for Him to take control.

I’m not sure if it is right to desire that intimacy before, but I suppose when it gets lukewarm, you just want to get back to where you were before, and continue from there. It just seems so loaded, to want to get to that level of closeness again, that level of intimacy. Something tells me that I’m just trying too hard to work to get back His favour.. which is, obviously, the wrong perspective here.

Paradigm shift needed.

Tear down the walls – Hillsong United

Tear down the walls see the world
Is there something we have missed
Turn from ourselves
Look beyond
There is so much more than this
And I don’t need to see it to believe it
I don’t need to see it to believe it
Cause I can’t shake this
Fire deep inside my heart

Look to the skies hope arise
See His majesty revealed
More than this life there is love
There is hope and this is real
‘Cause I don’t need to see it to believe it
I don’t need to see it to believe it
‘Cause I can’t shake this fire burning
Deep inside my heart

This life is Yours and hope is rising
As Your glory floods our hearts
Let love tear down these walls
That all creation would
Come back to You
It’s all for You
Your Name is glorious, glorious
Your love is changing us, calling us
To worship in spirit and in truth
As all creation returns to You

Oh for all the sons and daughters
Who are walking in the darkness
You are calling us to lead them back to You
We will see Your spirit rising
As the lost come out of hiding
Every heart will see this hope we have in You

But to say, it’s been a good night spent alone. And a good wee hours of the morning spent with Him.

Way overdue, way too thirsty, way too hungry.
.. But He satisfies.

it wasn’t a hiatus.

It never meant to be one.

And before you know it, I’ll have like less than 10 posts for the month. Not that I’m only busy with studying, and assignments before that, having a new house changes the dynamics of productivity and efficiency.

Oh, and have I told you that I am working? God’s provision, seriously.

Does it help to say that suddenly I have more dishes to wash, and just more things to do? It sounds rather ridiculous, doesn’t it? Though I had a fairy godmother moment where the dishes suddenly got all cleaned. (: yes not dreaming.

One more paper on Wednesday, and I felt like I haven’t caught up with my sleep still. I’m not sure how much sleep debt I have incurred, but I suppose after Wednesday I might crash into bed without feeling guilty about not putting enough work in for the day. (Ironically, I will be working that day.)

Time’s flying too fast, and I’m rediscovering things about myself as God brings to light things in the past and how they all work out to this very point. A lot got me pulling my hair and throwing a tantrum at Him, but I suppose He loves me and it’s still for the best.

One step at a time. Only one step, at a time.

More pictures in his flickr photostream of my place, and no I haven't whipped out my camera at all since I moved in.

Yes, I should go back to assignment-ing.

17 hours.

DIEDIEDIE.

Angel has no life and will only think about health promotion for the next 17 hours.

And will only look up to God and ask Him for much needed wisdom. and words.

 

And I wonder why I’m speaking in third person.

Mannn, I hate my procrastination.

All-nighter Friday, sleep-in Saturday – totally.
