Six months

Just celebrated my sixth month with Mj at Sakae Sushi. It has been such a long long time since I dined there. Work has been piling up on me, submission dates are here and I'm guiltily blogging down that exams will start in about a month's time.

Despite all these external pressures, I really want to share these times of joys, sorrow and laughter. In addition, to the people who really supported me and had been there for me in the course of my relationship, a big thank you.

Maybe I should name a few...
- Sarah for always encouraging, sharing and patiently listening to me drone on and on about my worries. Her love and patience with her friends really impresses me. Really thanks God for a sharing partner and a friend like her.
- Dorcas, even though not being there all the time due to he unnatural busy schedule, tries her best to listen when I'm really need someone to talk to.
- Jinny for always sharing with us and entertaining us with her worst and crazy scenarios of relationships ( unraveling beastly stuff and what not...haha)
- To Wing, Who always relates her relationship with Andrew and her with me so that I don't feel so alone.
- My family, who whole-heartedly accepted this new added joy in my life. Realizing how it has changed me and making Mj feel so at home all the time.
- To anybody else that I've missed out, Thanks!

Heh...I hope this doesn't start to sound like I've won some ulu Oscar or something.
But here's a collage of our sixth month together...

mumsies and dadies

I love my mum...
She's done so much there's no way I can ever repay her love for me as well as my siblings.
Praying fervently for our needs and keeping us in her thoughts in the day as well as at night is already an action she does to touch me.
What really is special is that my mum can be so generous with us and our friends yet try to stinge whenever it comes to spending on herself. I don't know if this method on doting on us will do us more harm than good but if I had the courage to shout with all my heart that I appreciate her and acknowledge all that she is doing, I would.
Knowing how quietly she was excited for me during my 'O' level result day, crying in her heart when she sees me depressed, encouraging me instead of scolding me when I do badly for exams, waking up in the middle of the night if we feel terribly unwell, etc..
Ok...Maybe I would say most mums would do most of those for their kids. But I guess every mum has their own unique way of doing it.

Not mentioning my dad does not mean I don't love him too...
Perhaps I do acknowledge all that he has done. Coming home early and not staying out at night at all for the past 20 years of my life, taking courses in order to let us life a more comfortable life, bringing us overseas every year for holidays, spending the money on gadgets tell will solely help us on our studies. He's really a father who disciplines like a tyrant but does all he can to support us comfortably through life. Unlike my mum, he's not too good at expressing himself so he tends to be a little short-tempered. But putting aside all those short-comings, and remembering all man have sin and fallen short of the glory of God, I know that there's always something good that we can look to in a person. Whether we choose to see it or not.

Supreme court, City Hall

Visited City Hall and Supreme court last thursday. I actually saw the acutal surrender chamber where the Japanese surrendered to the British in WWII. Though it wasn't anything fantastic but it's really cool when it's a place closed to the public. Not sure if I'm breaking the law or anything, but I'll still take the risk and post some pictures up here anyway.

Just one more day together

Planned for a Rollerblading session with MJ the day before. But it wasn't realised! We were both tired after a long day in school ( even though it was Saturday!) and we couldn't find a single rollerblading counter to rent blades in Pasir Ris Park ( should've gone ECP instead). In the end, we scraped the rollerblading plans to have a dinner in the park from KFC.
