yay! fri d 13th! i like fri n i like 13! haha... personal retreat today... was a much needed time...

woke up to c the sun! Yay yay!! nope... did not go out... went str 2 clear laundry...! while doing dat missed the Garang Guni man.... hope another one comes by... need to clear the papers... writing this now while waiting for my last batch of clothes in d machine. i'm always e"huang lian po"! haha... juz needed sun n leave (no work) to bring it out! yes the sun... n the prospect of retreat today cos me to be so cheerful...

dis week has been good. on sunday night, i told God, "can YOU PLS encourage me?" it felt so hard to gather d min tog... was kinda discouraged tryng to get it moving tog - DGs n the whole. n He did...!

mon was pizza party... PL n some others i din expect came... raining, so no rooftop star-gazing, din get enuf food (kena cheated... the food was so little.... paid $21 4 pathetic, small portions of finger food) etc... but pp got come... was simply contented n thankful mopping floor at 10pm... went to overnight prayer meet in church... reached at 1am... funny how it takes forever to travel in s'pore despite its size! was surprised got quite a no. of pp. n parents even brought their kids! wow... n of course, besides praying i people-watched. n i saw, clearer than during svc, gr8 couple dynamics. i am thankfu 2 c the love between husband n wife, n how some complemented n served God tog so well (D & J, B & P, TH & MH C & E...) i m so thankful dat there r strong marriages in church. i'm so thankful dat pp were given to prayer for d church.

tue was Haji... rested. juz read n played my guit. was a good sabbath for me! mag asked me out... but sorry gal... juz needed to stay home. desperately wanted to 'hang out at home' since "home" has been a place i come back to at ard 12am n get out of at 8am during weekdays.

met up wif Jerry on wed. really appreciate the frenship. had a deep, honest talk. i was so paiseh in dec wen he asked me out, i gave him 90 min timeslots to choose fr! he was like "wat?!?! feels like making an appt wif doc/ dentist/ psychologist!" glad dis time was more leisurely n cld really enjoy dinner. this is another thanksgiving for 2005. thank God 4 giving me elderly male frens in 2005 who have encouraged me much n fr whom i ve gleen much insights. Jerry gave me till 2007 2 get out... we will c...

"we will see" has been my tagline since last aug. man d ride became way rough since then n really... haha... dat's all i can say to so many things. with a mixture of faith n resignation actually. God does work in mysterious ways.

thurs Med nite... haha... it had different names... was ok nevertheless... thankful dat more pp did finally commit to come... weeks before dis week it was PATHETIC n i was so frustrated. NYP health sci pp, grads, med, den students, JC students etc... not too big, yet a cosy comfortable number. i m contented. let's c how we move on fr here n build on dis.

n fren sms-ed me to give me OTG... small amt, yet encouraging enuf. m content.

"we will c" my tag phrase, contentment is the goal n reward of d day... really... how can one not b wen we c God at work... n man, He is wise. His ways... cool. we will see... see God reveal and work His ways... n thence can only b amazed n content. GOD IS GOOD.

wow... dis is a long entry...!
