Meeting Vincent tonight!! :)
I'm going to pick Vincent up at the airport in a few hours time... He's back from HK! :) And he got to meet my hallmates there! Haha it's so fun to have international friends. Don't know where we're going, maybe Clarke Quay or Esplanade. Anyway, I'm so excited! :D
On another note, I really like the song "At the Foot of the Cross" by Kathryn Scott.
Last night I got all stressed and worried- about Mum's sudden outbreak of rashes, about next year's workload, about the future... and I realised how much there is out of my control, as well as the revelation that I do not like it one bit! That's why the worry comes. So many uncertainties in this uncertain world. God I need you! I take hope in His promises. "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11
And my favourite verse which I meditated on last night when I couldn't sleep. Why the insomnia? Because I watched the Ghost Whisperer! ARGH! And I watched it in the bright daylight of the afternoon too, on Starworld. Yes I'm pathetic. My younger sis and I both got nightmares after watching the Phantom of the Opera movie. -_-". Anyway I didn't feel so fearful after reflecting on this verse and drifted off peacefully to sleep. "The Lord is my light and my salvation- whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life- of whom shall I be afraid?" -Psalm 27:1

Vincent comes to visit me in Singapore
Vincent comes to visit
Vincent has come and gone on his 3 day whirlwind trip to Singapore. There is some truth in the saying "Absence makes the heart grow fonder". He got to meet my family and friends and experience a little of the life that I lead here in Singapore. We went to Maxwell Market, Chinatown and Suntec City with his family, then to church on Sunday and Crystal Jade with my parents on Monday. Little things like taking the MRT together, sparring with toy swords in Toys R Us, introducing him to my furry darling, or him buying my family ALOT of tasty treats just made me so happy and grateful. Although there were some major hiccups in the planning, everything went smoothly, way better than expected. It taught me to be more patient and understanding, as well as to see things from others' perspective. Mum gave me words of wisdom at the peak of my frustration, "Learn to let go and the Lord will bless u even more". Indeed. We were both extraordinarily happy. :) I count my blessings.

Baking Day
It's a rather lazy Thursday afternoon with alot of breeze. How I will miss staying in big, airy Joy Court! I just read more of Lee Kuan Yew's memoirs, which really makes the Singapore Story come alive. Tons better than boring National Education lessons which we had in school.
Since today is such a free day, I have decided to do some baking. Will make a trip down to NTUC later.. Brownies or mango crumble, or both? Hehe I'm going to swim and then cook Japanese with Cheh on Saturday morning, so am looking forward to that. Then await Somebody's grand arrival in Singapore! Roll out the red carpet! I can't believe we're meeting after 2 months of being apart. I'm used to not having him around already, but I'm sure things will be fine. Haha got to practice my Mandarin in the meantime.. Dun wanna be labelled a kantang. Excited... :) Can't wait for him to meet my family and friends and experience the life I live here. He will be so overwhelmed!! Xin instructed me to tell him "Eh Carol's CGL wants to meet you". Hahaha.
Separation is hard. He keeps dreaming of me; how come I don't dream of him? It's not fair. Only in dreams can I be in 2 places at the same time.
Inquisitive Itchy (the neighbour's cat) is on my window sill playing with the curtains now. She followed me into the house last night! Naughty... Anyway Whisky has recovered; his eye is much better and he is cute and clean once again. :)

God's blessing
I just want to give thanks to God for providing my family with the ideal house!
We'll be moving to Tanah Merah next January (of course I won't be there; will be welcomed back in June to a brand new home. hehe)
Truly, the whole house-hunting episode is nothing short of God's amazing provision. My parents were going on an intensive 2 week search for a new house and getting rather tired and anxious at the end of it. They were almost going to sign the contract with the Malay owner of a 3 storey corner terrace, even though they had reservations about it. The turning point came when Mum asked my Dad to pray. As I was out for cell group, my parents and Dazz prayed last night, for God's direction. Coincidentally, I prayed about that too, that morning itself! Then this morning, my dad searched Classifieds property, then went straight down to see the house, skipping his breakfast to do so. (This is unprecedented) Got to the house, looked around, liked it and signed the contract with the agent/owner in 5 minutes. Just like that! Both my parents had a very good feeling about the house.
-10min walk from MRT
-spacious enough for extended family. 4+1 rooms
-big living room
-garden
-reasonable price
-bright and breezy
It just reinforced the message delivered by Ps Philip Huan a few weeks ago- When God opens the door, He opens it completely. :)
He always provides us with the very best!
Praise the Lord!

neglected
My poor blog is so neglected.. :(
Most personal things that matter to me are written down in my journal already; I don't think I wanna publish it here. You never know who's reading!
Anyway, the chapter from the book I'm reading is about how God speaks through circumstances.
2 things that I could immediately apply to what I learnt.
1) The South Korean hostage crisis in Afghanistan.
For sure, ppl question why God, if He's so mighty, doesn't save them from being killed by the Taleban. All I can say is that, God is sovereign. He is still in control. I like the remarks made by Daniel's friends when they were in the lion's den.. Draw some parallels- I'm too tired to type it down now.
2) Whisky's return home. :):):)
I am ELATED.
Will elaborate more on this tmr.
Just have that niggling sense that I need to articulate what I learn, before I forget.
Good night, world.
