Everything In Its Time

A song by Corrinne May

Sometimes I wonder what lies ahead
How long till my hunger is fed
They say it's hard to make it in this part of town
So many people on this merry-go-round

Some folks try astrology
Some turn to crytal balls
To find an answer
To get through it all
I just fall on my knees and I try to pray
In the silence I can hear Him say

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

I often feel like I'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
Why I should give up
But I'm stubborn in the things I believe

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign

'cause maybe there's another plan
One I still can't see
A little surprise, like your love in my life
Funny how time changes how we see

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time
Everything in its time

Of Letting Go

Last Wednesday, in the midst of work I got Angeline's short text like: Are you free tonight? I replied saying I have nothing in particular to do, so, yes. She told me God let her won 2 free tickets! In the back of my mind, I knew what's coming. Ceng ceng ceng...free movie treat!!! =) We watched 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry'. We enjoyed ourselves very much. We got 50% of the cinema all to ourselves (there were only 4 ppl)!

Since knowing Wini, we have learnt from her that it's always good to process while and after watching a movie. Sometimes I'll forget to do that and it happened to us then. On our way out of the cinema, Angeline went: Oh, I forgot to process! Heh. Me too.

After so many days, the very one thing that's on top of my mind ever since I left the cinema was a scene in the movie where Larry took out his late wife's clothes from the wardrobe, kissing and putting them away in tears. In the movie, Larry's wife passed away for 3 years but there seemed to be no changes to her stuffs, Larry still keeps her clothes and all, where they were.

What's wrong with that? You may ask. Personally, I find the message hitting home. So much so that I see Larry in me. Unable to let go. Sometimes while having some random thoughts running through my mind, I tend to have the tendency to dwell, reminiscing over and over again in my mind's eye as if I could see myself right where I was back in time and space. Exactly as to what I would not share here b'cos it's too private.

I remember an illustration Max Lucado used in one of his books saying that whether you realise it or not, we all are carrying a sack. Day in and day out. Sometimes without us even realising it. It's the sack full of rocks, stones, and boulders. Each representing our worries, burdens, anxieties...Same goes in this scenario, just that the content now represents that of our memories, both good and unpleasant ones.

I've loaded my sack pretty much. I get a bit breathless carrying them sometimes. I forgot that I can give them all to one person. On and on I added to my sack. It's time for me to seek refuge and do the unloading. God, thank you for awakening me.

It's good to have memories, even more so if it's a good one. But if it only crippled my growth spiritually, it's less than healthy to continue holding unto them. So, I want to let go. Because with God, truly, the best is yet to come.

My family was here

Yes, my parents and sisters came over to visit us for 10days. Back in end August. I procrastinated for quite a bit eh. Haha.

Saying goes that a picture tells a thousand words. So I picked out a few from the lot and uploaded them. It's taking FOREVER to upload. In between, I walked around in my room, to the kitchen, sms-ing friends, and drank soup while waiting for them to be uploaded. Patience really is a virtue!

The pictures are suppose to be in sequential order. But I just realised that the 1st pic I uploaded ended up being at the bottom most. Guess that's fine. :) More posts are on the way. I need to rest. This is taking very long. I need a break :p

Sun setting

I was discreetly trying to snap his photo. His parents were near him, so I pretended as if I was shooting sth else. Cute boy playing and getting wet.

A man had a dream that he was walking on the beach. There were 2 sets of footprints...

Searching for food I guess

Sentosa's Siloso Beach. Very small. The sand are artificial ones, can't walk bare-footed, will be painful. I miss beaches in KK Jessica used to drive us to after our a-levels...

Youngest sis. A poser & chatter-box. Her name is Chai Phin.

She reminds me of me. A lot in the sense of personalities. But she is more outspoken.

I fought with her a lot when we were both younger. In anger, I poked her with a mechanical pencil and she bled! Yes. That was in the past. A vivid account up till today.

She's 2cm TALLER than me now!!! Grr...

#3 in the family. She's Chai Sia. An artist & only lefty in our family.

Very very quiet. She did my art homework back in Brunei. Oops~

My mum. I made her wear that. Very co-operative :p

Looks darker now ever since moving to M'sia. UV rays very kuat there.

She was very fair few yrs back!

My Papa, very 'cool'. Hehe..he doesn't smile much infront of camera

His signatures = black moustache & eyebrows ^^ was n still is handsome :)

He looks fierce but is not in real life. Don't be deceived by his look~

My older sis. I repeat, she's the eldest, not me bah :p
She claimed that I can read her mind, don't play play eh

My personal favourite. Like a mini volcanic eruption before ur eyes aye?

(Geog was my fav subject, esp plate tectonics ^^)

'Songs of the Sea' performance @ Sentosa, was good but too short

Random flowers by the sidewalk, thought they were beautiful

My Pa & Ma =)

My 2 younger sis, resemblence? (students in M'sia has darker shades) :)

At Sentosa. Having a rest & some food after walking around

Dinner at Sushi Tei in Vivo City
