It isn’t merely what you know, but what you believe.
It isn’t what you hear, but how you hear and how you receive.
It is the condition of the heart.
More than knowing everything, it isn’t what you know, it is Who you know.
It isn’t who you are. It is Whose you are.
Therefore, as He is, so am I, accepted in the Beloved.
I don’t have to know everything, I just have to know the Ruach Hakodesh. : ) That’s fine enough for me.
Hahaha. Something that could only come from the possessions of the best monitor ever. Was quite a delight to see everybody’s names highlighted. We were all together, once.. Priceless, really. Thank you Shu. : )
Best weekend ever. Ever ever. Wheeee.
And today, with you. It’s nice to stroll the paths of the heartlands where we made our memories. I never seem to lose my voice faster; never get as many peculiar stares; never get the inclination to want to break into song, than when I am with you. Thank you for raising my blood pressure and yet filling my ears with your laughter. As usual, you make me crazy too.
시간이 너무 이렇게 빨리 지내요..
5년?
그덴 너무 외룹고
하지만 또 너무행복하고…
정말 많이 추억을..
항상 나의 머리속에서 있는데…
근데 이렇게 한사람은 살앗어 난좋아.
사랑은 좀힘들다…
Today I feel complete, like almost never before.
Sunshine. Shadows. An orange glow.
Falling leaves. A heart of golden brown.
The wind. Our shining smiles.
The voices that have always soothed me on the inside. The voices that my heart intently hears out for.
It was the love that I felt, I know it’s different now. It’s much stronger. It’s deeper. It’s sweeter with a quiet kind of strength. It’s more distinguished, that which is the increased capacity of our friendship. It is more tangible than ever: The peaceful moments when we could simply relax in each other’s presence. It was those detailed moments – how carefully we took care of each other and how comfortable we are in each other’s company.
For you, anything is worth it.
And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.
Ecclesiastes 4:12 [NASB]
The image of us as golden braided chains comes to mind. Reminds me of our High Priest and the breastplate piece. We are irreversibly chained to Him. Nothing can separate us from His love.
This part of the Family Dance song comes to mind.
We could take a little trip around Singapore Town
In a Singapore city bus
To see Collyer Quay and Raffles Place
Spent a good part of the afternoon roaming the streets of our Central Business District. Felt like lost hamsters. Nonetheless the trip was interesting. For a while we sat underneath the towers of ORQ and just observed people. Office people. Thirty minutes were more than enough to make us imagine what it would be like for us, to have that kind of life, and it was rather disparaging! I think from there we appreciated our present freedom a lot. It’s always fun to people-watch. This time we tried to distinguish between the interns, high-flyers, tech-y staff, etc. Felt like fishes out of the water but unfortunately when you start seeing people whom you actually know among the office crowd, you know you’re not that young anymore.
Because of the humidity we could velcro ourselves together. Hence we marveled at how people survived in full suits, those blazers. We were mistaken for tourists but we did not correct it. Before I knew it I became a Malaysian. Along the way we invented our own alien languages and carried on our conversations with somewhat a surprisingly rhythm. I really don’t know which planets we are from. Just like the Blue song, You Bring Out the Worst in Me. That could be our theme song? After walking around Raffles Place several times, we took the scenic route back towards City Hall and to Dhoby Ghaut. The crowds and buildings grew more familiar by the minute. It was back to the usual. By then I felt like if we emerged from a sand storm we’ll be like muah chee.
The conversations we had today, I treasure.

Words from an old friend delight my heart so much. You’re in a part of my heart that is safe. Isn’t it like that? When during the day randomly someone, an old friend, surfaces on your heart, you wonder how he or she is doing, you think about your time together, and you either let go of that thought for another time or you contact that person or something. Even though you’re so far away now, your words still have an amazing effect to me. We’ve really come a long way haven’t we. Times like these I find meaning in pondering about the paths we took and how we found each other along the way. It always intrigues me that although we were never in the same class, there was still a bond that saw us through those years. : ) Hope you’re having a good time in Halmstad, love.
A decade.
10 years.
3,650 days.
Approximate.
Here’s to 2 years of being in Hope. 4 years of recess. 4 years of youthfulness and outrageous fun. As the post-SN years increase in number, may we often recount the unforgettable years, smiles, tears, laughter and aspirations. Seeing how we’ve grown together makes me cringe but yet pleased to remember the way we were.
Here’s to us. Happy Vday Cupos.
A song that made us soak up tissues and got us reprimanded by none another than spore-bags.
We were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What we’d have to go through
Now here we are
And I’m suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I’ll be there
When the world stops turning
I’ll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Never dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Now here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I’ll be there
When the world stops turning
I’ll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
I knew there was somebody somewhere
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I’ve been waiting so long
Nothing’s gonna tear us apart
Life is a road
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful journey
I’ll be there
When the world stops turning
I’ll be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Life is a road and I wanna keep going
Love is a river I wanna keep going on….
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you.
At The Beginning; Richard Marx and Donna Lewis
Didn’t think I’d make my way out of the house so bright and early this morning, but I did. We did. I don’t ever wake this early on weekdays, not even for school. But it was worth it! So wonderful to see all of them again. Blessed with a yummy breakfast as well. Had our meeting, then some of us headed to Vivo. Our window shopping was impeded by lack of food and drink. Coffee-d then walked around a little bit more and it was time to leave. It hardly feels like New Year’s eve, the crowds were still out and about.
The week ahead is going to be so fulfilling and so awesome. I can’t wait! Heeheehee.
A song that strangely brings to mind a lot of heartache, but for that reason it resonates in me. You have been my help then. You shall forever be mine.
;
One thing I desire
One thing I seek
To gaze upon Your beauty
And Your majesty
God of my salvation
Lifter of my head
Teach me how to live oh Lord
In Your righteousness
So I pray to You
So I pray to You
Lord Your name
Is higher than the heavens
Lord Your name
Is higher than all created things
Higher than hope
Higher than dreams
The name of the Lord
In the day of trouble
You cover me
In the secret place of refuge
Lord I will sing
I will seek Your face
Call upon Your name Jesus
All I want is You
Jesus
26My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the Rock and firm Strength of my heart and my Portion forever.
Psalm73:26[AMP]
Thank You for sending Your word to me through my beloved. These nights of seemingly endless darkness always has its brilliance. There’s You. There’s her. There’s You. You are in us. You are in-between us. You surround and encompass us. You uphold us. You go before us. Your glory is our rear guard.
You are for us, who shall be against us?
Had a blessed time at Henderson Wave tonight. It was my first time there. How memorable and special that my first ever experience up there was with such lovely people. Everyone sitting under the wooden canopy made it feel like we were in a boat, not on the sea, but a boat in the sky. The stars were really pretty out tonight. The walk among the trees bonded us, the word spoken refreshed us, the worship softened our hearts as we simply spent time before our King. I felt that Daddy brought the wind at the most poignant moments. He blew away the tobacco smoke for us. He reminded us of His presence. He greeted us with the breeze. Even till the end of the night, He blessed us with so much favour.
