When times get tough, there will always be people around that genuinely care and be there for you, but there will also be people around that don't get a damn about how you're doing. I FRACTURED my right foot 2 days back. I'm really devastated right now, simply because I won't be able to dance. So many years of dancing, I have never injured my foot this bad, but now, just when I'm due for an audition, it happened. Doc mentioned that I'll be out for at least 6-8 weeks. Already got appointments for dine-in lunch and movie sessions at my place. Hahah. I truly appreciate having these friends around. It's so so painful, I could lie in bed the whole day. It'll be so good to lie in bed with a good book and a cup of hot cocoa on a rainy day. |

How much of the verse "The truth shall set you free" do you believe in? No doubt along with it comes the tremendous need for strength and healing. I don't know what your stand may be but for me, I would never want to be put through mind games and white lies or excuses like "I don't wanna hurt the person" etcetera, even tho I must confess that I have indeed done that before. Still the conviction is too much for me to take and I would rather tell the truth after. And besides, a lie/cover up/excuse leads to another and another and another and you'll finally realise that you would have turned into a chronic liar by now, lying about the smallest things ever. It sounds crazy but people actually do that.
There are tons of decisions to make on my mind right now and I think it's time for me to choose to not allow unnecessary people, the things or words that they do and say to take my joy away again. It's definitely not going to be easy but I know God is always faithful in healing me through and through.
It's been talked about so many times. But till this very day, I STILL SEE photos of her around. This is precisely the reason why it's so hard to trust. Its extremely hard when you have to be the one giving someone the benefit of the doubt all the time but yet still see the things that you see. Time and time again, promises have been broken. |

Thank you Boh Boh - Voted Best Photographer in my books (even though your face seems to be out of the picture most of the time.) To more Starbucks. Window Shopping. Acting silly. Laughter. Singing and dancing on escalators. Thanks friend!

"Are we there yet?"
Can't get to sleep. Nervous? It's so good to expect a familiar face upon arriving. Now hes with me, all the way. I just have to breathe and do all I could do and trust God. Whatever the outcome, it's alright. I'm going to think positive thoughts. As mentioned in one of Rick Warren's book - "You're never a failure until you give up"
Thanks for Baby Penguin. I shall cuddle it tight tonight and hopefully fall asleep. I'm getting inspired by Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" because I've been listening to it for the past several hours.
And by the way, remind me again why are we charged with an extra fee for seats at the Emergency Exits? Don't we bear more responsibilities in case of an evacuation? And also, I don't know about you, but does it matter who you're seating next to on an airplane? It sure doesn't bother me. Just do your own stuff. If it bothers you that much, PAY for the other seats around you so that you can have all the privacy you need. Its called Economy my friend, not First Class. And if it's the racial/cultural issue going on, then may I remind you that the pilots in command of this plane right now are ASIANS.
AND, can you not bug the flight attendants with your nonsensical "I wana change seats" argument/talk. They didn't assign you your seats in the first place so maybe you should just leave them alone. And if you bug them with something they cannot do, on top of their 101 things to do, they'll bitch about you in the galley and you'll "probably" get spit in your mouth-watering chicken/beef/fish meal. Now I'm at peace. Let's just all be nice passengers and have a merry flight can we?
Back to breathing in recycled air. Hmmmm.....

| Reflect to the true meaning of love. Not misuse it. |
[Aug. 8th, 2009|05:53 pm] |
I've read a couple of versions to this verse but somehow, this version seem to stand out the most when I read through it yesterday. Enjoy, but most importantly, reflect, and ask ourselves if we have all gotten the true meaning of the most commonly used word - LOVE wrong all these time. It's still not to late to LOVE the right way now.
Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious...it is not rude and does not act unbecomingly. Love does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it...does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything...Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end] - 1 Corinthians 13: 4 - 8 (A)
Got to get back to packing my lugg and head out for dinner. My prayer for Singapore this National Day is that God would bless and inspire the leaders of Singapore with God given wisdom and clarity. Ok I did my part, must I still recite the pledge at 20:22 tomorrow!? Heh.

| Decisions |
[Aug. 6th, 2009|10:18 pm] |
So, I wouldn't say that I'm terribly excited about what's to come, I just pray that it'll all fall into place. Pretty much done with the application, just fine tuning a couple of details. Im asking myself if this is what I want, or am I just escaping. The latter isnt that bad honestly. Ive got so much to update but sorry guys, Im pretty exhausted these days, will probably do so when I get back. Decisions after decisions, not much time left.
Really wanna thank a few people for being with me through and through. Lionel Love. Thanks dear, you've been supportive (so have I) Hahah, the times I put you through hell, I'm sorry. You've been such a gem. Mom and my Auntie Christina, your support for me have come a long way. Jacq and Karen, I love you my friends.
A friend called today and talked about some personal issues which obviously I'm not gona share here. And as he talked and I listened, I realised that people really DO NEED GOD. He sounded confused and I guess all I could offer was my continual support. At the end of it, I asked myself, if I were not a Christian, would I know what to say? Would I have been wise and offer the right kind of support? or would I say things or advice that people carelessly offer these days - yes, sometimes even our closest friends would offer us the wrong advice. Therefore, dont we all wish to know "What Would Jesus Do?" or "What Would Jesus Say?" I thank God for his wisdom in me and hopefully Ill continually put it into good use.
See you guys when I get back. Keep the love going.
