It starts from my toes, and I wrinkle my nose

Thursday, December 25, 2008 Its....CHRISTMAS!!! anddddd I'm doing my MICE report!!! How awesome is that? I swear I could cry and jump down the building if i didnt have God.

29 Dec...get over and away with it. I have 3 reports to submit on monday 9 30am. and I have ssm to boot. Swell. What in the world was the director thinking when he set the academic calendar for AY08/09?!?!

I'll remember this year for the rest of my life. Christmas spent doing reports. Wheee....

Monday, December 15, 2008 I've finally moved to Serangoon Gardens. After months of anticipating we're here right now. Sadly it hasnt really sunk in that i've MOVED and not just holidaying or visiting a home. Its my home now not Minton Rise. I couldnt help but get a little emotional after dinner when we went back to Lor Ah Soo to get more stuff.



12 years at Lor Ah Soo, specifically my younger days in primary school and teenage years. Where I've grown up, suffered the usual case of bullying, run home to cry to mummy, walk to school, grow up in sunday school and SF, cycling trips, Ah Soo Gang, Terence irritating me and so much so much more memories left from that place. It was a place of refuge not only for my own family but others, including gracia and hui shi. haha. The fond memories...



Its sad to know that im leaving the ah soo gang and that others will soon be moving away as well when the enbloc is successful in a matter of time. I suppose one cannot expect to hold on to time and the past but to look forward to greater and better things that God has planned for us.



The nostalgia is here to stay for a while and im definitely gonna be home sick.



Frankly this year has been a painful year of changes. When Pastor mentioned about this year being a Year of Changes for each and every one of us yesterday, I was wondering...how in the world did he know that? But it wasnt him, it was God who decided that this year would be a year of changes for our family and for a lot of people. It hasnt been the easiest of years that i've experienced. In fact, I bet its one of the most emotionally difficult times. When everything/everyone feels...distant, gone and theres nothing left and it feels like you have to start all over again. When you feel as if even your best friend doesnt understand how you feel cause shes not experiencing the same thing.



But God's grace is ever present and he still sends me friends that are in the same predicament as me. You dont know how lovely it is to be able to share with each other and really truly understand what he is going through as well.



No matter how many tears i've cried this year, I know that every one is precious in God's eyes and He's watching out for me.




Monday, December 08, 2008 Zee houze iz inz a mezz. Helpppp. Boxes stacked everywhere, dishes piled on the dining table, clothes strewn all over. Just 1 more week to moving. And I gotta survive the rest of the year.
