"That was you always--on the point of departure or return."
- Neil Murphy, Heartsong
I think this sentence says it all. I remember when I shared this short story written by our prof. to grace, she told me this is the one sentence that stood out to her. My sentence is, "My heart stopping in stages."
I think both sentences make a lot of sense as we prepare to say our goodbyes, and it is strange because a part of me wishes that God can just let it sink in that I am finally leaving home for Korea. And yet, another part of me tries to cling on to the illusion that I am still here, nothing is going to change. But! I have no doubts that this trip with the girls will be an amazing journey:)
So Lord, let's go shall we?
P.S - By the time my next blog post comes up, I would have already toasted to a new beginning in Korea with the girls over rice wine:D

Pachelbel's Canon in D Major is on replay, and the version by Lee Galloway is quite exceptional:)
I just came back from watching the movie, "Bright Star" with Sharon, and I'm glad we watched it. I needed that break from all the people and happenings. Just being able to sit with my legs propped up and burger in my hands is one of those simple pleasures in life. the actor playing John Keats is really quite charming, and the part when he said, "Let's pretend I'll come back in Spring" was quite painful to watch. In a sense where we know he's not going to come back, but he just wants to give Fanny the hope that he will. SIGH. I wanted to cry. Okay, maybe I did. haha
and the last part when we just sat there in the theatre soaking in the poetry of John Keats was quite brilliant:D
"If poetry doesn't come like leaves to trees, then it might as well not come."

waiting
I went into church on Sunday reminding myself to soak up every single moment of the service. But you know what? I didn't have to remind myself. Because even now as I type this blog post, I know I will miss church and everyone in church, but I know also that the Lord who is keeping me safe and well, is the same good God watching over them. And because of this, I can leave for Korea knowing that whatever happens during the next four months, will be for the best:)
Sanghyun joined us for the service yesterday cause he said he's not sure if he will be able to send me off on wednesday, so he wanted to meet me for one last time. he even passed me a map of busan, and though it's in korean, I felt very touched by his efforts:)
And as we had worship, and as the last song came on, I closed my eyes and asked a silly question, "How did you know Lord?" For the past two weeks, the song in my heart has been "Still" by Hillsongs, and when the music started, I couldn't help tearing, because that was the song we sang at the end. It may not mean much, but in so many ways, Jesus has shown me that He knows me so much better than I know myself, and that He knows exactly what I want and need. It's like how when our Senior Pastor prayed over me for my exchange, he prayed the same exact two things that I wanted to pray for, without me telling him=)
The topic for yesterday's sermon was Jehovah-Rohi: The LORD our Shepherd. And it's wonderful because I just finished reading grace's blog post, and the message she received coincides with mine:) I love the message, and I really learnt a lot of things yesterday. And I really do want His will for my life:D
This is random, but I feel really stuffed. My grandparents fried another batch of their famous once-a-year curry puffs yesterday, and as usual, I cannot resist them. So I just finished my fourth(thank God the puffs are quite small!), and I still have my cup of Rocher's soya bean milk. But, who's complaining?:)
I am really looking forward to spending more time with the girls, and I know even though we will be going separate ways for now, we will still be a part of each other's lives.

Woke up at five this morning to send my uncle donald off at the airport. it was really nice to be able to celebrate chinese new year together as a family:)
went back home to sleep and woke up at 11 plus to see multiple messages flooding my inbox. traveled down to j8 meet the school buds for lunch and for the bollywood movie. Must-watch indeed. according to the girls, I was quite a loud audience, what with my laughter and sniffling. but! the movie was really quite emotional, and I just couldn't stop my sobbing(!). there were so many scenes that really hit me, and two of which were when the african americans started to sing the "we will overcome song" which interplayed with Khan's own version of the song. Another scene is that of Khan standing up to tell the real story of Abraham, or Ibrahim as they call him. Wow, the truth about the story has never been shared in a clearer way. It is precisely because Abraham knew and believed that God's love would overcome everything, and that He would provide, that he was willing and able to sacrifice his son. I think my tears literally poured out of my eyes when I saw and heard how Khan shared about the story.
after which, sharon and I headed down to town to meet grace, carol and minghui. tried out B3...the only thing I appreciated about the place was the company and the Asahi beer. So yeah. anyway, we went to take neoprints as well, and it was fun to see how we are eternally young in neoprints, and trying out different poses was entertaining as well. shopped with great efficiency for grace's dress, and we picked out a mature looking dress which she looks really pretty in:)
ended up having a short coffee and hot cocoa break at Tully's Coffee. The mocha was quite pleasant, but the conversation was seriously the highlight of the break. shall leave it to sharon to describe more. we headed back after that, and I was quite glad I had the opp. to talk more to minghui during the train ride. we chatted about our own churches, and what we are doing in church, and how maybe we should introduce each other to the people in our respective churches(cause the more people we know, the higher the chance of meeting our future partner...)..HAHA.
but like I told him, I really do think the right thing to do now is to wait. when he/she comes, God will guide us to the next step. the funny thing was, he asked my about my ex eye-candy, and I actually shared with him about it. alright, even with the caffeine, I just yawned. so go to sleep now.

this is too amusing not to blog about it. I've been teaching my parents how to use the MSN, so we can communicate via that, and I tried it out with my dad just now. Here's how the conversation went:
"here, here is the world" says:
hello!
daniel says:
Hello. How is the weather your end?
"here, here is the world" says:
it's snowing!
daniel says:
Wah!!! Its -40 here and its not snowing. How come?
HAHAHA. so funny right! alright, that's what I wanted to blog about:)

HAHAHA. so funny right! alright, that's what I wanted to blog about:)
After the short run on the treadmill, I realize I smell like soup. haha, it's probably a result of the four steamboats and the many many bowls of chinese soup that I have drank over the past two weeks;)
the sun is setting now as I type, and thought it's nearing the end of the day, it is so bright that it feels like a new morning has just arrived. The light always seems the clearest when it is dark. I remember this postcard I use to have when I was in secondary school, it said that it is always the darkest just right before dawn. I guess, it works both ways:)
my korean buddy, Ju-Young is really quite amusing. I ended up laughing at my com. scrren while reading her email. she seems like a super bubbly and cheerful girl, which leaves me trying to guess her age. oh well, I guess we'll know when we see her at the airport.
one more week till our departure from home sweet home to Korea- the land of BOF, Kimchi, Soju and how can we forget, the hanbok:P haha, random, I know, I just couldn't think of another characteristic of Korea, and I would want to be able to dress up in a traditional hanbok while I am there. And I am so going to persuade the three other girls to do the same with me and pose for a pretty picture. in sharon's words, "Hohoho!" :D
Let us rejoice in the Lord always!:)

Lord, even as we wait to fly off to Korea, I just want to re-commit my plans, my life into Your Hands. And I know I have been asking you to fulfill the desires of my heart, but now, I don't hope for that anymore. What I want now, is for You to fulfill the desires of Your heart. Because what I think I want, what I think I need is really not what I desire.
I want to follow the Holy Spirit's leading, and it's Your hand I want to hold.

on the edge for once
I am feeling the lethargy at last.
The girls just left for the movie, and I am taking a break before the cleaning up. I love good company, but sometimes, it is just nice to sit in an empty house and rest for a while.
the days in town have been saturated with walking, the heat, and times of solitude. I never knew I could spend 5 hours just strolling alone from one shopping centre to another. the day I go without my music, is the day I will feel lost and slightly lonely.
wanted yesterday to be my last day at work, but figured I shall not be so irresponsible, so one more day at town next week, and I am done with the market survey job. I think I have seen and experienced town in a whole new light for the past week. I think I have exhausted every resting place that can be found along the somerset stretch.
but it has been quite a fulfilling time. it allowed me a lot of time to think and to just be on my own. granted that I tend to be stoning half the time, but I guess I can appreciate the independence, and the rare moments of company are treasured by me more.
I should prob. go back to washing up, but I can feel the sofa calling out to me. my eyes are on the verge of closing and I am thinking of my work report. in yiwen's words, "Woe is me."
nah. I will play some music, and then I will feel more awake. one downside of going out so much, is that I am currently 4 episodes behind for my korean drama:( and I don't think I have time to watch those four. hence, it will accumulate..
I am really quite glad for the girls. I know I am not really the kind of friend who is always there for them, and I can be quite quiet and awkward at times, but I like knowing that we will be here for each other through it all. I don't have to be someone else with them, and though we can feel left out at times, I firmly believe that this friendship can only become better:)
I'm tired. I need a getaway. that is one of the main reasons why korea sounds very appealing right now.
the cheesecake tastes like sour ice-cream. hmmmm...
13.02.2010
the cheesecake is actually quite good when it's soft:)
Yum:D No prizes for guessing who made this cheesecake:P
Anyway, I am feeling slightly better this morning. Was extremely tired last night,and didn't make much conversation at dinner. I wish I had gone for the movie instead. I know, horrible of me to say that, but I think I would have enjoyed myself more. It's funny how all three steamboats felt really different. I think I drank more chrysanthemum tea last night than the actual food. haha, what can I say, Sharon's fried rice and her mum's excellent soup made the steamboat pale in comparison:D (now, this is a slight "pawing"...haha, but I really do think what I said is true:P)
It will probably be the last time I'll be seeing a few of them, but in a sense, I'm glad that we parted on friendly terms.
"Have fun in Korea!"
"Yes, I will:)"
But no, I will not be entertaining the thoughts of a four-month fling with a good-looking korean guy, nor will I be enticed into going for plastic surgery.
And once again, I am proven that I am quite a shallow person. When he turned up with his gf, I had to look away so as not to take a double look. People just do not look the way I expect them to! But at the end of last night, I knew that I could wish them all the happiness in the world, because I can sense the happiness between them. And I like how they were very comfortable in each other's presence:)Thank God!
another chapter has closed in my life, and I am looking forward to the next one.
haha, I am glad I managed to persuade ronnie, who is going to persuade yiwen to watch "My Name is Khan" with me:D (corrected!)
I dislike the constant anticipation of thinking I might see your name.
And it takes a lot for someone to come into my life and stay for long. I realize I am not one for commitment, unless it means something to me.

fragile moments
--
played badminton with the girls on friday, it was extremely fun:) I miss the adrenaline rush when you rally and smash the shuttle. Grace is such a gentle player while Sharon and I are kinda aggressive;)Anyway, so after that, I rushed home to shower and to make my way down to NTU for a second dental checkup. It was a tedious bus ride on 179, as there were so many students, and the bus took so long to make it to can b! paid another exorbitant amount for the dental. at least, the conversations were pretty amusing;)
after that, Yiwen and I went down to Yishun to chill out with Sharon. The coffee break at Starbucks was really awesome. Orange Honey Mocha is much better than its counterpart. And the company was lovely as well:) went on to purchase the 1664 beer that Sharon cannot forget. which reminds me that I shall have it for breakfast tmr:D and then I will have to run on the treadmill. haha
and on sat, the family went out for some light shopping at town. I finally bought my watch! haha, it's from Fossil, and I'm quite happy cause I have always wanted a watch from that shop, but it isn't a leather one..anyway, the family bonding time was great!
Sunday was amazing! My uncle donald and my dad went with us to church!! And as we sipped tea and coffee before going up for service, I told my dad how happy I was with him beside me. He smiled and said, "nice coffee". haha, so funny;)anyway, the speaker for that day was from Canada too, and it was quite a coincidence. (then again, nothing occurs by chance!) the sermon was about the gospel, and I felt that it was a simple yet clear message. I hope the seeds that were sown will start growing!:D
had steamboat as a family for dinner, to celebrate my grandpa and my jie's birthdays. and before that, I went down to my ahma's place a bit earlier to "teach" my two cousins Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice". It was very entertaining as we were just sharing about what the play was about and how we felt about the characters. So fun to just be able to talk about Shakespeare's plays with others:D
That is about it for the past week. And today is the start of another week. As we prepare to leave for Korea and Perth, the girls and I decided to take on a market survey job. and as Ronnie had to go to Joo Koon for another job, I was stranded in town. Conducting market survey alone can be entertaining yet super boring at the same time. I felt the happiest when I was observing Harris Bookstore and HMV. I am such a nerd:( Anyway, I had to stop myself from looking at the clothes in F21, if not I would have def. spent more that what I earned. Hopefully, tmr onwards, I will be more productive!
headed off to a proper lunch with Elaine - whom I have not seen in ages - and had lunch at Ichiban in PS. very good conversation and I was just very glad to talk to her. found out more about her life and arranged to meet a second time before Korea.
then, jie treated us to dinner at amk! second steamboat in the week. and realized that I will be having steamboat for a THIRD time this friday. the funny thing is grace is just telling me about her steamboat reunion...
haha, my sis just commented on how long my blog post is. I like how we are just able to sit side by side while doing our respective things, and conversing to each other:)
okay, I think I have put jay chou's song too many times on replay. woah. 17 times.
alright. this is the end of my really long post.
I know I am prone to thinking about questions like what will happen a few months down the road..but this time around, I am quite contented to just see how things go. I guess this time around, I am not really expecting anything.

treading around in circles
Of course we had to purchase the pretty drinks from the many vending machines in Japan:D The hot drinks were so comforting during the winter season
Somehow, I like this candid photo of me:)Weird pose with the leg as I was just walking on my own, but yeah.
Our first sight of snow falling from the night sky.
Family photo at the pretty famous Otaru Canel. Well, I was more interested in the surrounding sights
This was how heavy the snow was when we were at the Edo Wonderland. Imagine a snow thunderstorm, and you'll get the picture...
I miss the snowy playground with the pretty fairy lights
Asahi Beer Factory! The light taste and the extreme coldness of the beer made it very easy to finish a full glass of it.
Okay, that's about it for the recap of our trip to Hokkaido:)
Sometimes, the waiting can really be a distraction.

to be thankful in all circumstances:)
My days are passing by too fast for me to remember them. And a lot of things seem to have happened in just the past month. Sometimes I just wish things can be simple once more. I think I care too much about certain issues, and honestly, I have absolutely no idea how to resolve them. But! This is the time when I need to depend on Him, and just as He said once lovingly to Martha about how she has been "worried and anxious about many things when only one thing is necessary", I do believe it holds true for me too. The one thing that I need to do now is just to sit by His feet, and to walk on the path He has paved for me:)
So all that I can remember is cell group on sat, where we were really honest in sharing about our worries and our feelings. and pastor jac was just saying how we will grow old together, which sounded wonderful really=)
hanged out at my ahma's place for a while, and we received one of the best news ever! I was just washing the dishes when my grandma suddenly told me that she wants to go to church, and I was like stunned speechless before exclaiming to my godma about what I just heard. and apparently my grandma already asked my grandpa about it also, so in the end, my grandparents, uncle donald, and my two cousins will be joining us for church this sunday! Praise Jesus:D We'll continue to pray that they will really go for the service and be blessed by it.
spent the day reading "A Hundred Years of Solitude" today, and it is becoming a very interesting read! haha, am looking forward to reading more of the novel:)alright, that's it for the recap.

hanged out at my ahma's place for a while, and we received one of the best news ever! I was just washing the dishes when my grandma suddenly told me that she wants to go to church, and I was like stunned speechless before exclaiming to my godma about what I just heard. and apparently my grandma already asked my grandpa about it also, so in the end, my grandparents, uncle donald, and my two cousins will be joining us for church this sunday! Praise Jesus:D We'll continue to pray that they will really go for the service and be blessed by it.
