so impromptu

*Edit- Di is trying to get me to go home much earlier than expected and we’re considering that due to certain reasons. it is NOT because someone is going back too okay =) but sisters always emotionally blackmail. am still thinking…still thinking.

so old school

a cd that a friend once burnt before i left for melbourne is being played on the laptop…
there is colin raye and backstreet boys (!). ‘i swear’ plays in the background and track 13 has my favourite ‘in you i remain’, a fusion of oriental ching. then again, this version is the one by the singapore idols and olinda and taufik’s keeping me company. how lovely.

art flurries

Rojak by POST looks exciting. If I am able to make it for ROJAK01 that is taking place on the 10th of june, i might actually check it out.

ROJAK is A series of parties to celebrate local independent works. Be it Art. Archi. Words. Music. Fashion. Food. Film.
Anything CREATIVE! Sounds exciting.

cafepress also sounds like a great place to make gifts or products.

mindset matters

I remember Fang telling me one day that it is all a matter of mindsets. How true, for what you think or feel often stems from what you allow to go inside your mind, it stems from what you read or see, and what you feed your brain with. God, I need more of you. The love of god is not a feeling, and it is a knowledge that I’m grateful to have. My heart is spongey and dry and I am thankful of what Adrian said (during CAM lunch) about how one should ALL THE MORE turn to Jesus when you do reach this stage of whatever-you-call-it dryness/dillusionment/discouragement/sadness (everybody does at some point).

Am thinking of pushing my flight forward and yet I don’t know what to really expect upon touchdown. Life is truly a mystery huh. Half of me is dying to finish cheonging and hand in my work up and go home. Jolyn, I think of you when I write this today because I am starting to feel the same way as you do every morning. =) I hope all is well with you and that I have taken away of some of your misery!

DawnOh is also worship leading this friday =) (see Krystin, we call ourselves in our surnames now. your fault!) And while absolutely irritated that i’m being bossed around by my own sister who is only 9 minutes older, i am grateful that she did not get offline without instructing me to ‘do your quiet time’. I need you I don’t want to feel tiresome anymore.

School Bell
discovery of an old piece

We were trained to go “Good Morning Miss” and “Thank You and God Bless You, Miss”.

I can still hear the flood of disheveled words. And sometimes the Bell. A rumble cascading through the walls, torrent-liked and resounding. This always signaled the end of our morning frolic down at the quadrangle, prompting the walls to stare tired and impatient at us. We were always late. We would stroll through the old staffroom, pass the bookshop, loiter around the stairs for anyone familiar and then make our way back to the classroom.

I always thought that she looked like an old woman. The building, that is. A bag of tired old woman’s limbs, groaning and saggy from her time. Death seemed to loom ahead of her, but not all knew that. They weren’t as one with the school. I was. Eventually she got destroyed and I missed the way I knew her so well.

To Nostalgia. To my School. To Yvonne W, S Devi, Seet and AW.
To the times I skipped Tennis.
To the days of stomping freshly-painted canvas shoes, mud-wrestling in the rain, and really bad braces.

caffeine-induced late night (a)musings

Fair-weather friends are flimsy
unconstant. fleeting.

I am thankful that God brings people to our lives at the right time
He gives and He takes away

and rightfully so.

My God is such a jealous God. I would be too, if I loved someone so much.
