she left today just as she did before,
standing behind glass windows,
watching her as she got thru customs,
it was bittersweet,
all i cud do was wave.
a part of me knew she'd be back (most prob) Dec 2009,
that seems so near yet so far.
i got reminded of the day he left too - the familiar sights and surroundings of Terminal 1 wasnt the most pleasant. despite always looking forward to trips to the airport just to look at planes when i was little.
times have changed. pple come and go alot more now.
and it's time i learn to accept it and let go.
the pain cant always remain and haunt me.
i wish her well and i hope she has safely landed.
i know i'll miss my aunt very very much.

wedding @ Raffles
it was cousin Julian's wedding @ The Ballroom in Raffles Hotel - typical Chinese sit-down 8-course dinner.
it was good.
the wedding couple's "brothers" and "sisters" collectively put together a hilarious video clip - cartoon style of how the two got to know each other thru to marriage.
it's touching, in a cutesy, funny way, really.
nicely done! :)
food was yummy, cept tt dad was wondering how come the cocktail recep is so slack! haha.
they didnt provide any tidbits such as peanuts etc etc. jus drinks... i guess thats the norm these days la. peanuts will be so low class! haa.
perhaps some sandwiches or light snacks might work better.
then again, that concept might not work too well with the whole Chinese dinner.
took a few pix but they r in my aunt's and dad's camera... i didnt bring my own. half the time had to help others take pix instead! haha.
it's nice to finally see Julian get married and settle down... lucky fella is going to Japan and Hawaii for his honeymoon! how awesome!!!
marriage is such a blessed union isnt it? as a kid, attending weddings, my perspective back then was, so happy and envious of the bride cos of her nice puffy/flowy gown! the whole excitement of me dressing up too! haha. i'll hv nice dresses to wear too! =P
now is still pretty much the same mentality, just with some added thoughts...
such as "how if i cannot make it?" or "how if i'm left on the shelf!" hahaha...
but nvm. i believe God has a plan and purpose for me. so just simply trust Him. leave it all in God's hands.
the less u think, the less your worries! ;)
anyway now is one of my crappy periods again...
with exams ard the corner; SM being a pain, stuck at the back of my mind 24/7; my aunt leaving on tues early morn... these suck!
i really need to get thru the next 2 weeks. really.
God knows how worn out i am...
plssssss just let it all go fine...

sudden thots
listening to Boston by Augustana made me have a sudden thot earlier this afternoon.
i wondered - how would it be like to work in New York?
i remembered what i said abt my NY trip last yr.
but holidaying and working are 2 very extremely different feelings/lifestyles.
tho the song is abt Boston and not NY.. but ya. jus a thot.
as i'm studying now... silence all ard me.
i feel quite lonely...
i suddenly wish i have a pet dog, who wud just silently keep me company...
sitting beside me, giving me support in its own way...
at least whn im stressed or upset, i can look at my doggy, carry it, talk to it and give it a hug.
im sure it wud be able to feel my emotions.
i can tell my doggy all my longings and feelings.
one day, some day, i really gotta stop my mind frm running wild.

i miss my students so much.. it's been 3yrs ago tt Grace and I taught that bunch of them.
3yrs later, now, they are all in ITE, each doing a course they chose.
words cannot express how proud and happy of them I am.
Many Thanks to Grace for suggesting to go to Poverello to teach them, else I would have nvr met and known them.
Thank you Melvin and Jiehan for ur greetings. it's very much appreciated. it has been my pleasure =) all the best in ur future!
Immaculate Love
remembering God's love for us can be rather challenging most of the time.
we always question His will and plans for us.
we dont trust Him enough or at all sometimes.
why cant we jus let Him do His job?
is it really so difficult to surrender to Him?
the following is the responsorial psalm sang during evening mass at Holy Trinity tdy.
this song is very touching. it means so much and more!
jus listening and singing it can stir so much emotions and thots.
indeed, loving and forgiving is God.
jus trust Him. believe in Him. entrust urself into His care.
He will watch over your needs. if only u believe.
Loving and Forgiving are you, O Lord,
Slow to anger, Rich in Kindness,
Loving and Forgiving are you.
All my being, bless the Lord.
Bless the holy name of God.
All my being, bless the Lord,
Rememb'ring the goodness of God.
God forgives us all our sins.
Healing those who live in pain.
Saving us from final death.
God fills us with goodness and love.
Good and gracious is the Lord.
Slow to anger rich in love.
God remembers not our sins.
Forgiving and loving is God.
As heavens soars above the earth.
So great the love of God for us.
As far as east is from the west.
The Lord takes our sins from us.

a gentle nudge
the greater you are, the more you should behave humbly,
and then you will find favour with the Lord...
the heart of a sensible man will reflect on parables,
an attentive ear is the sage's dream.
"when you give a lunch or a dinner, do not ask your friends, brothers, relations or rich neighbours, for fear they repay your courtesy by inviting you in return. No; when you have a party, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; that they cannot pay you back means that you are fortunate, because repayment will be made to you when the virtuous rise again."
walk humbly...
