Went to Snow Pony today with Jo, Jules and Ven (:
I love going for Brunches with people! They're always a little bit fancy.. and I love my toast, cheese and eggs. I had some cheese toast with eggplant and bacon today. It was pretty darn awesome.

Well exams are around the corner again. Today has been an absolute day of procrastination.. consisted of brunch with the girls, painting my nails red even though my brother told me it looks ugly, walking around the house for no reason, playing my new toy cajon, checking FBing. The amount of distraction around my house is amazing. It doesn't help that I found out I only need 16% more to pass the subject I was most concerned about. Have to keep myself motivated!!!

I'm pretty excited about going to NZ soon. I'm leaving the same day as my last exam, which makes me really look forward to that day as much as I dread it. Haha. First time I'm actually planning a parent-independent with friends ((: And I love the fact that I'm going with some of my dearest friends! Zac, Jo and Wenners will be such great company for the few days after the conference. The v20 Studentlife Conference itself will be a crazy blast that I'm sure will blow.me.away. Haha.

But I think travelling with people might also be a test of our friendship. LOL. Spending extended time with friends I've realised, from experience, can either break it or build it. Haha. Like the last time I went trekking with Zac and Joce at the MacRitchie Tree Top walk. LOL. It was sooo intense. I hate being in the middle of a squabble, especially between two best friends. But it was an experience I don't I'd ever forget. To add to that drama, my stupid slipper just wouldn't stop breaking every 10 steps. Thank God it was just Zac that trudged off, not Joce too.. if not I'd probs be left there limping and being attacked by crazy monkeys or something.

Skyped with Tabs the other day.. and she reminded me to check up on Twitter. So I did. I looked through the past tweets that I tweeted (LOL) and the ones that mentioned me. Made me miss my time in Singapore so much, just chilling with Tabs and Lydia.

Watching soccer at the coffee shop (lydia doing her work at the same time and constantly asking which team was Man utd even after I told her multiple times that they were the red team), playing DOTA and L4D into the wee hours of the morning (even tho I got a little sick of it after a while), sleep overs with Tab and Lydia and our crazy antics like the time we spend an hours trying to forge Lydia's certificate and singing along to MTV karaoke tv, jam sessions with Tabs, times we just chilled at the fountain chatting, or just lazing around doing nothing particularly useful.

It suddenly hit me that there probably won't be many more opportunities to spend time with them like that anymore. As life gets ahead of us and more commitments flood into our lives.. it's just going to get harder. But even though it is sad, I guess the dwindling of these moments doesn't mean that our friendships are growing thin in anyway, it's just changing. These special moments will probably just come in different forms (: Even if it is over Skype.. and Lydia's showing off the room she can finally call her own or Tab's calling me to inform me that she passed her driving test ((: Yup, love them, I do.

Wow.. haven't blogged like this in a while, think I should do it more often (:










Some cool pics ((:

I never thought it would come to this point where I'd be at loss for words. Even though I know there still might be some lingering frustration and maybe strong discomfort.. I have a hunch that our friendship is going to make it. I'm counting on the fact that it will because there's been too much good as result of it to let it snuff out.

It's so true that perfect, satisfying love can only come from Christ alone.
Water that can actually quench a thirsty spirit, as opposed to salty water that just makes you want to drink more and more of what's actually killing you.

People always ask 'why do things always have to be so complicated?'... that's usually when our circumstances are in a tight knot and we're at our end's wits. Maybe it's because we weren't close enough to God to listen to his voice, telling us exactly how to avoid those knots.

"Then I realised that my heart was bitter,
and I was all torn up inside.
I was foolish and ignorant-
I must've seemed like a senseless animal to you.
Yet I still belong to you;
You hold my right hand.
You guide me with Your counsel,
Leading me to a glorious destiny.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
I desire you more than anything on earth.

My heart may fail, and my spirit grow weak,
but God remains the strength of my heart;
He is mine forever."

(Psalm 73)
