What are you thankful for?



It’s thanksgiving today! As I write this, I’m thinking of the sister who’s currently livingitup in New York. Hurhur. I’m soOoo excited for her and am definitely living vicariously off her entries. : )

Ohboy I can’t believe it’s almost December!

Anyway, I was meaning to update but am just way too tired from an incredibly long long day. Stll, I wanted to mark my thanksgiving with somesort of semi-reflection because I believe it’s alws important to find some good in everything – and be grateful for what I hv. It does wonders to the spirit as the cheerful heart is good medicine!

So here it goes:

I AM THANKFUL THAT TOMORROW IS A PUBLIC HOLIDAY!

Hurhur. I am also thankful that God made wild flowers (I find them pretty) and for Daddy’s homemade sandwich, Christmas trees and sweet text messages!

Oh no! I’ve not been very disciplined, have I (!?) hurhur. I must have gone silent for a month (or so it feels to me!). But here’s the thing – Waking up at 730am every morning   (and meeting deadlines and things like this and that) is making it a little bit harder maintaining a regular blog heh!

I first started writing on this site as a way of finding some sort of clarity. It was great to hv a space to throw my deep heartfelt  musings and wallow in the ‘emotional’- and let me assure you it has served me well, but!

I still love writing here. But I guess I’ve just been very blessed — and while I’ve not really sat down to write about it, I feel fulfilled! So many out-of-comfort-zone experiences and humbling lessons, but God is ALWAYS mightytosave.

So many epiphanies! ! Hurhur. You realise nothing is your own, and whatever you’ve got belongs to a Higher being :) May I stop worrying about perceptions, and steadily grow in grace. It’s such an exciting journey! I realllyyy cannot wait turning 29 in a few wks time! :) Grin.

…That I’ve barely even got time to get online goes to show I’ve bn trying to get my mind around the work + commitments I hv?! Haha. But oh, social networking, how I miss you so. Heh.

We’re also in the midst of packing and trying to get everything at home in order. Mom said we’ll be getting the keys to the flat in mid-nov. Ahh tbh I’m SO FAR behind and haven’t really done much packing.

Then again, with all the things I have to do, I’m not complaining! All the errands will simply make my rest time and upcoming much-needed me time (plus sneaking in wkends with the sister) so so much sweeter.

So what’s on your plate? I hope it’s manageable! Whatever it is, I do hope you’re enjoying and having the time of your lives!

girlfriends ! <3

I caught up with the girls awhile back – and I’ve been meaning to blog about it! Unfortunately the past few weeks have been a whirlwind (toomuchtoofast) & I’ve been unable to really sit down and write a little more meaningfully. But God is full of His lovingkindness, and even as I sit here catching up on things and feeling all sleepy at 10pm, I can only marvel in awe at the way the adventure is unraveling.

Bring it on!

For now, I’ll leave you with this group shot that my girlfriends and I took during our night out! I was trying the ‘nude makeup/lipstick’ look so I must say I thought I looked strangely and oddly pale – but it was all in good fun.

(Speaking of girlfriends, HAPPY BIRTHDAY RETA! You are dearly loved. )

Anyhow, I am hoping  to get some time out this weekend to piece my thoughts together.

SO Watch this space!

the reason why i need a macbook/pro

I haven’t used the home PC in a longlong time – and since my old faithful apple (imissyou ibook !) died, I have been plonking away on dad’s verysmall laptop that has been fab so far.! And I must say I have grown vv fond of it= It’s sooo light + mini that I can put it in my handbag and work anywhere anytime hurhur! But it’s not mine – and tobefair, poor daddy’s using the horridly slow PC so it’s time I got my own! Today I caught it hanging/stalling/ and had to reinstall the scanner… it was frustrating!

SOoooo this leads me to the most impt qtn: shd i get the new MACBOOK OR MACBOOK PRO?

i’m set on the iphone as well (cos of my atrocious phonebills and di’s wonderful data plan!) but it’s now all about waiting to see when my current contract ends. hurhur – ican’twait! We’ll still have to hold a serious discussion with @ktham1 on that one because I’m on a starhub plan (And am overpaying !!) BUT I think I’ll hv to make the jump and switch carriers. Well, we’ll see.
