just had to put this down though i've got a ton of work waiting. heh.you know how the Bible says that God is the Father to the fatherless? well that just took on a new meaning for me :)been moaning about how since my parents are away, i haven't gotten the usual share of great mooncakes. now i loooove mooncakes but i never buy them coz usually..my mom takes care of that and my aunts and uncles and all usually get them or something...i don't know how but usually there'll be a good stash at home. but since my parents have been gone...there've been no mooncakes :( and it's really quite sad...haha my colleagues think it's hilarious that i've never bought a box of mooncakes before and that i don't know where to go to get them...anyway, so first thing this morning, a colleague walked into my room with a nice blue box and said "i've brought my favourite mooncakes from Raffles Hotel to share...take one!" and like a little child, my eyes twinkled and i broke into a HUGE grin. that has really made my day...thank You, Father :) You amaze me at how attentive You are to even these smallest of things!

a year she says. we've come this far in a year. the old has gone and the new has come. or has it really? i can't believe that a financial analyst, whom i've spent the longest time dodging from and avoiding but who finally got me to meet him, of all people, actually got me thinking about what i'll be doing, or wld want to do in 5 or 10 years.i've always shunned that question. but i decided that i should stop running away from it. i'm living out the 5th year out of my 8th that's planned out neatly. it's time i finally look ahead.but it felt like it did as i was running with my bro down Brickland road last nite. it was pitch black ahead...save for the few lights in the distance. it was scary coz i really cldn't see far ahead.so i asked for direction and an idea of what's up ahead and it was clear but simple - that i was to do what You'd earlier put in my heart to do, to be faithful to the things I'd heard and responded to earlier, incidentally, things i've still been kinda trying to run and hide from. it was like realising that i just had to keep on the black path..it wld lead me to the lights up ahead in the distance.shared it with Hui Shan and unknowingly (until just), it spoke to her too :)and now we have one more thing in common. how interesting.ok this has probably been by far the randomest sounding post to whoever's reading it. the dots are so few and far btw it's hard to connect them i know. but it's just good for me to put them down anyway. coz then i'm so clearly reminded that through these individual events, You've got me.so much has happened in a year. as lav says...there was india, then chindia, the thesis, europe and so much more in between. how'd all that happen all in 1 year such that we're so far from where we were a year ago?then other things stay the way they are over the years..only to resurface over and over again, leaving me right where i started a long long time ago.

i've decided that i really truly am easily satisfied in life.last week, i had subway 2 days in a row after like a 2 month haitus and then i had karu's a 2nd sun in a row and after all that over the weekend, i decided if i were to die, i'd die a happy person.then today, a couple of colleagues and i went to Raj, this amazing north indian restaurant at Biopolis, for lunch and it was sooo good. made me miss being in india like never before...there was like these multple flashbacks to what lav and andrew and dhoby and i did in various places in india, the things we saw, the people we met, the things we did....i really really want to go back......for now, i've got a fantastic cup of masala tea with me while i slog away. haha talk about sinking back to reality...gotta remind dhoby that we've yet to try any of the dishes from the indian cookbook we bought him for his bday! haha
