Last night, I asked God if He hears me.

He gave me his answer today. Not once, but twice in my devotionals.

( Daniel 9:20-27 )

( Psalm 69:13 )

I hope this inspires you, as much as it inspires me to keep my faith in times like these.

This is cliche but time sure flies when you're having fun with friends. 4 days gone, in a flash.

This trip is memorable for its many firsts.

First time I had pig intestines. -semi choke-
First time I shopped from 11pm to 2am, arms full.
First time I flew to another city to catch a concert.
First time I bought lightsticks for a concert.
First time I saw Jay live.
First time I drank Yakult the size of a can.
First time I went on a trip with my dear friends of 15 and 13 years, well, sort of anyway.

I'm sure there is more, or will be...

On the flip side, I'm not sure I want to go home to reality!

I'm perplexed. Why do I persistently dream of someone whom I barely know and have seen only once in 15 years. What is up with me?! ARGH.

Please make the dreams stop.

As much as I enjoy travelling, it leaves me feeling terribly drained. The hours squashed in an economy-sized seat, stuck with intrusive people who take up the whole armrest, does nothing for my mental well-being. I wish I had the option to fly business or teleport myself. Sigh.

It's also weird being back home. Even if it was only 2 weeks of being away. It feels as if I'm seeing everything through a bubble. Like I'm here but not quite. Maybe my consciousness is trying to make a run for it because it would rather stay away than face the realities of life. After all, isn't travelling a means to escape the things you don't want to face up to?

...is what I envision for myself in the future.

But for now, I can only dream.

Here's the Dahon Matrix. When commuting to work becomes a reality?


A lovely white Paul Frank cruiser for when I'm off to meet friends.


Another Paul Frank bike that looks perfect for a leisurely afternoon out by the park.


One LAST Paul Frank bike I saw on its blog. Isn't it simply adorable?




And how does a girl resist a bike that can be customised?! This is by Urban Outfitters.


If you can't get a cute bike, how about some cute bells? :)


There'll be more, I'm sure. Be still my heart!

:(

Come back soon...

It's funny how we don't treasure what we have till it's gone.

I'm sorry I didn't spend more time with you when you were here. I never do learn, do I?


"Oh, Everytime we say goodbye I die a little
Everytime we say goodbye I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go

And when you're near
There's such an air of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change from major to minor
Everytime we say goodbye"

I REALLY do need to keep remembering that. It's SO unbelievably hard not to think some people are the spawn of Satan. :x

This is Mitch Albom and I, when he was in Singapore last month. :) I had to queue for a measly 10 minutes. SHIOKS!

And here's a video of him at Kinokuniya where he was having a signing. He's rather charming. Hee.

My heart is overflowing with gratitude today. The worries and anxieties have all been taken away by my Lord. How wonderful is that? Looking back, I shouldn't have spent the morning in anxiety if I had truly cast my burdens on Him, if I had truly left it all in His hands. How human of me. :)

As I was making my way home, this song made its way into my head and it summarises how I've been feeling this evening. I must confess this is one of the rare times when I feel so blessed by my God, so filled with joy in Him. It's such an awesome feeling. I want to feel like this everyday!

"This is my desire
To honour You
Lord, with all my heart
I worship You
All I have within me
I give You praise
All that I adore
Is in You

Lord, I give You my heart
I give You my song
I live for you alone
Every breath that I take
Every moment I'm awake
Lord, have Your ways in me"
I really do want to worship Him. But I'm lost. Will You help me find my way please? Show me a church please!
