contentment

Had CG yesterday and Ephraim told us to share our thanksgivings for the week. Well, mine was being able to meet up with friends almost every day! :) Cheers to all my wonderful friends who have been making time for me! Met Minmin, rachael, grace in town(again).. And it was fun catching up with them and going into girly shops and sticking all sorts of accessories into our hair. And helping Grace and MM choose clothes! yeah MM u better wear your new skirt; i like it soo much. They're such sweet sweet girls- so precious in the eyes of the Lord. =) Haha Leroy joined us later for dinner... The future pilot! More handsome after his training... Hahaha ;) So sweet, they're gonna plan some fun outdoor activity for me before i leave.. hee

With friends, I find it so important to be able to be myself... And I guess this freedom comes when I know that they accept me as I am; gentle, shy, soft-spoken.. Sometimes I find it so hard to even accept these qualities of mine because people perceive it as a sign of weakness.. But Kor reminded me of Pastor Benny Ho's sermon during church camp- Gentleness/meekness is strength under control. Yeah :) So here's a resounding ha! to all the naysayers who always call me teh!

Also committing myself to pray for 10 minutes every day.. thanks to eph and xinxin, the prayer warrior for encouraging me! Indeed, one should build his/her house while the sun is still shining. My initial euphoria and enthusiam about studying in the UK are wearing down and as the date draws closer, (leaving 18 sep- less than 2 mths left here!) the realities of being on my own are becoming more apparent. I'm quite scared, I must admit... So I wanna draw even closer to God, now...

Okie gtg, Kor has to use my laptop... and i have to tell everyone how my wonderful Kor and Jamie, his future wife, changed their wedding date just for me! So that i can fly back in March for their wedding! :D Yay! I'm so happy!

Anybody wanna help me paint my house?? Hahaha =)
