woah ok...so it's been a really long time since i last posted. probably the longest break i've taken i think. heh guess we all need time outs now and then. don't worry...wasn't like a mid-blog crisis or anything. just got wayyyy too caught up with the week. it probably was one of my toughest as well. was drained physically, mentally, and emotionally from it all. besides the paper, the interview, tuition, the very very last minute thesis proposal presentation preparation, and barely enough sleep to get me by, i found myself dealing with other stuff too that i hadn't anticipated but well...i guess there's never a good time for some things, but i couldn't have asked for a better time either. i rarely get stopped in my tracks by things and feel derailed...but i did early this week. and i spent the rest of it trying to get back on the fast lane of life coz sometimes deadlines and responsibilities and expectations don't wait for you to do them only when u feel up to it. so you bite the bullet and get on with what's required of u. and no, it wasn't meant to serve as a defense mechanism or a means of coping. i wish i could have had time to deal...but i didn't. and when i did...i couldn't seem to access some of the things i wanted to deal with. odd ain't it? or maybe i was wrong to assume that i could deal with things when i could afford the time and space to. maybe these things don't work at my availability. i really don't know.but what i do know is that i've decided to stop doubting that perhaps i could actually be ok with things. why do i doubt the fact that God truly can be my peace and shelter and refuge in times of need? I've never felt and known You to be closer than this. neither have i felt more like the psalmists who'd come before God broken and poured out, only to leave His presence rejoicing and assured and affirmed of who my God is. so i rejoice. and i delight in You. i come into Your presence knowing that more than ever, i need You to sustain me. and You do :) You provide me with the power to do Your will in and through my life as You reveal it to me. and i may not understand everything, but i'll remain surrendered. :)ok so besides all that that's been going thru my mind most of this week, i'm thankful for how He's really seen me thru. perhaps with all that going on, the week kinda whizzed by w/o me being too conscious about it. u know...just do one thing to another. haha but the week definitely had some highlights :) got a reallllly pretty birthday gift from amu on thursday, had the most fantastic lunch treat from mich at curduroy and finch on friday, and a bday dinner treat from kel on friday nite too :) haha talk about being pampered eh? so i took the weekend off...met jo to shop on sat...didn't expect to (seriously...) buy anything specific. but i got my black heels for my cuzzie's wedding finally...and new perfect fitting jeans at GAP! woot! haha and had a good session with my girlies after tt. thanks for being so sweet vera n jo. haha ok and final highlight. had a picnic with my cg today! besides the humidity and mozzies, i had a great time! thanks nat for the brownie cupcakes, tammy for the cookies, cindy for the bee hoon, shunz for the attempt to make sandwiches (haha), and of course, toille who made eclairs. haha i had fun! love random events like that :) thanks shunz for planning it! haha oh and thanks ian, job, tai tai and shunz for chipping in to buy the other stuff as well. haha it'll be back to our house next week. heh but not for much longer..for soon we shall be shifting! haha will update u lot on sun :) haha ah yes. and how could i forget? today, i have the great honor of adding two boys onto the officially marry-able list. it's extremely exclusive. ok i think therefore i can only admit one. haha toille, ur eclairs today put u in a class of your own. i truly am impressed. haha andrew took first spot awhile back and he's hard to beat i must say. but toille's young and got a bright future ahead i declare. hahaha. and my bro made tiramisu which was surprisingly good. but of course, thanks largely to joel and ming hui lah. heh so yah, he doesn't make the cut. just toille this time :) haha
