Tuesday, August 09, 2005 for the love of friendship
this semi-long wkend was well-spent. i thoroughly enjoyed it. evrytime R is away (which is comparatively more than what im used to), its always an opportunity for solitude, meditation, catching up with friends n family n more time for myself. though at the back of my mind, i wonder how he's doing, what he's doing n the tingling feeling of missing someone strikes occasionally, im actually glad for these chances for us to be apart. i think space once in awhile is needed and healthy. coz his 72-hour men's retreat 4 the Walk to Emmaus doesnt really favour communication with the outside world lest they get distracted, i havent spoken to him in awhile. but it's okay coz as i said, this weekend has been really fulfilling! FOP * delirious, hillsong * 11,000 full-house crowd, what a wonderful n heartening sight * earth-shaking worship * relevation of God my Saviour * His faithfulness, an encouragement in my race of faith * supper with Jay's family at "where else", so precious I managed to catch Willy Wonka on Sun with jay,luan n tiffy too. gosh we were so bowled over with laughter n im sure luannie knows the song inside out by now. hahahhaa. the Oompa-Loompas were so hilarious. hahaha..but then when i turned ard n became aware that the cinema was dotted by many who were *ahem* just about 10 yrs my junior, suddenly i felt so childish. hahhaa. oh well. juvenile is good sometimes. there's a child in every one of us. :) n of coz it was yet another precious time spent with the gals. sharing shamefully bimbotic jokes, ministry struggles n basically just chillin' :P thank God for u guys. n for pre-National day celebrations, Pearlie's belated bdae! though it was at the other end of the "world" for me at Tanah Merah, thank God for hammie's company on the train! haha. as usual, bbq-ing was fun. it was juz like the good ol' times again. silly lame laughs, excitedly squealing over ANTM, catching up n above all, enjoying each other's company. i love u guys to bits. i wish we had more time together. cant believe now four of you are in NUS. sob. musnt forget this girl who stays just 15 minutes away from your school when you go for prata okie? haha. :P on a more sombre note, though i am disappointed with the blase attitudes of some key persons, I am glad that I took the initiative to resolve the issue. I think i trust people too easily, at least that's what some have said to me before. i also open up to people really fast n becoz i tend to be very relational, consider them as friends. but its a pity sometimes, when these feelings are not reciprocated. oh well. i've learnt that one cant always think of quitting when the going gets tough and awkward situations crop up. sometimes you just have to stick through it. at the end of the trial, there'll always be a blessing. blessed are those who persevere. i think the Lord has been teaching me many wonderful lessons of late. or at least revealing many things to me. patience. loving my enemies. seeking before acting. listening before speaking. trusting and relying. leadership. n im regaining my sense of normalcy and falling into a routine. that's good but still more challenges await. its more faith, less doubt. am just glad to have tomorrow, my longest day in the week, off. goodnight world.
