Thursday, December 29, 2005 God bless my girl friends.  you all make me so happy. more than the heartfelt, thoughtful presents, more than the crazy fun we have together; we were brought together by circumstance and didn't always click (acquired taste! humpf) but we've come far, and will go even further :) char 12/29/2005 12:29:00 AM
Tuesday, December 27, 2005 my church put up a splendiferous christmas play this year! i was really blown over by the brilliant cast, the props, the costumes, the clever use of shadow and light play, everything. despite all that, lor still fell asleep by the 2nd scene. as did my family. but! it was really really good. i've never been more impressed. really sobering article in life! yesterday about 4 cancer patients. when life hands you a curveball like that, honestly i don't think i'd have half their strength and tenacity, i might just lie around all day moping. and they're so young! i mean, what are the chances? it could happen to anyone of us. this led me to introspection, and i spent some time mulling over the current state of my life. have i made myself accountable to God thus far? have i been busy storing up my treasures on earth rather than in heaven? it isn't easy when all these questions stare you in the face point-blank. and it's sad, but they left me ashamed. please Lord, mould me and make me, a willing instrument of Your good work. this i pray today. char 12/27/2005 12:31:00 AM

Saturday, December 17, 2005 today is the day our long overdue holiday begins. what's it gotta take!!! (hurls a brick at heaven.) i like arab street alot. i think i'll like it better by night when it isn't so freakin' dusty and hot. but arab street mid noon does have it's own charm, the exotic scents of spices mingled with essential oils, the quiant little shop selling the prettiest things where we lost ourselves in, whimsical aladdin lamps and carpets in quirky array, the wizened face of a shopkeeper creased into a smile, dazzling displays of swarovski crystals and beads and accessories, all that jazz. let's go again real soon babe. grrr i hate stinky yahoo sellers. i bet they're ugly and bad in bed too ha. char 12/17/2005 02:30:00 AM
Sunday, December 11, 2005 i really like the children section at borders, today i plonked myself there for a full hour to get reaquainted with babar the elephant and the cat in the hat and spot the dog. i love spot! and i love opening all the flaps in the spot flap books. Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown the loveliest poem ever. In the great green room There was a telephone And a red balloon And a picture of The cow jumping over the moon And there were three little bears sitting on chairs And two little kittens And a pair of mittens And a little toyhouse And a young mouse And a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush And a quiet old lady whispering hush Goodnight room Goodnight moon Goodnight cow jumping over the moon Goodnight light and the red balloon Goodnight bears Goodnight chairs Goodnight kittens And goodnight mittens Goodnight clocks and goodnight socks Goodnight little house and goodnight mouse Goodnight comb and goodnight brush Goodnight nobody, goodnight mush And goodnight to the old lady whispering "hush" Goonight stars Goodnight air Goodnight noises everywhere char 12/11/2005 11:32:00 PM
my parents aren't home yet, and they've not called or smsed once from thailand for the past 5 days. i'm guessing they don't miss me terribly. nice. i don't care very much for small talk and vapid conversation these days. so it's true, we lose our friends as we get older. char 12/11/2005 07:07:00 PM
Monday, December 05, 2005 lor's all manly man now. woot! over the weekend, we bade farewell to his boyhood and ushered in his 21st year with a bang! on sat was the surprise kbox party. was damn stressed because of that but am so grateful to his friends esp jingyu for letting me boss them around when it's the very last thing they need during the exam period. check out the cake with his face on it. yummay. no one wants to eat his hair though haha gross.  and the next day, his actual birthday, i woke up early to decorate his room while he had training...but thanks to the standard chartered marathon, the normal bus route to his house was diverted and i ended up lost and stranded at katong shopping centre with an elmo balloon and bags of decorations. knn. resorted to calling his dad who was at that moment about to bellyflop into his club pool, and when he heard of my plight he promptly drove out to rescue me. so sweet right. thank you lor senior! and if i may be unabashed and shameless i thought his room looked smashing. i was so damn proud of myself i couldn't stop grinning after that. go me! (waah not shy at all.)  and at night we headed down to one fullerton for a great dinner at stuart anderson's black angus. everything there was served in huge portions! we could barely finish half of our burgers with one pound beef patties. later we walked to the merlion park, lit up so prettily with strings of golden lights, and set up my chocolate fondue there. which was quite out of place but we didn't feel it much. and it was a superb end to a wonderful day :)  the funniest thing is, now we're both damn shacked from all the festivities and have fallen sick from eating too much chocolate. aurgh.  happy 21st birthday dearest. you know i love you. |
