T'was just a garden in the rain. Close to a little leafy lane. A touch of color 'neath skies of gray. The raindrops kissed the flowerbeds. The blossoms raised their thirsty heads. A perfumed thank you. They seemed to say. Surely here was charm beyond compare to view. Maybe it was just that I was there with you. T'was just a garden in the rain. But then the sun came out again. And sent us happily on our way.

Angels Bow

Angels Bow
Angels bow before You,
Kings fall at Your command.
And yet Your love comes down to earth
To fallen man.
How can I know Your workings,
Eternal mystery?
I must bow down and give my life,
Must follow You.

And I love You, Lord,
Everything belongs to You,
Is known by You,
And made for Your eternal glory.
You, my Lord, receive the praise
Of my thankful heart.

~ Keith Getty

A month of tears, of joy, of love, of intense reflection and deepest thanksgiving.


13th Aug: Fondue gathering at Boonsong's place. we had so much fun! watched Love Actually again... so sweet! making the chocolate was a hilarious experience... at the first try... the chocolate melted but before we knew it... the pan started making sizzling sounds...and to our horror! they started solidifying... into bits.... We had fried chocolate! heh.... Peiyong likened them to choco chip cookies had blast finishing them off... =) ordered pizza...

which reminds me... the pic looks like a scene from FRIENDS! 3 guys and 3 girls... hehe... let's see... Teresa is sooo "blur Pheobe," Ying would definitely be "spunky Rachel" and me.. hehe i'd be the "neurotic Monica!" as for the guys, who else but Boonsong would assume the role of "scholarly Ross"...=) Peiyong would be the reliable, crappy Chandler while Poon is the "Partying Joey!"

20th Aug: Picnic at Botanic Gardens..an amazing time of worship led by Hansel and Sandra....glorious spread of food...2 little girls captured our hearts when they walked right into our picnic and did some exploration... they're so pretty and adorable...

1st Sept: Eunice left for University of Toronto for 1 yr exchange and teresa for UCSC for 1 sem. Such a pleasant surprise that had the same departure time so i could be there to send both of them off! missing eunice in dg...

for now.. it's evan, shin, jen and me! Love our dgs! Evan is so wise! =)

as for teresa dearie.... i miss you and we have so much to talk about when you come back k. in the meantime, study hard and play hard over there at UCSC! hugs and cheers!

With Lien on 151 Bus ride to adam rd hawker for supper. Us goofing around crusade corner! Self made Crusade publicity. Lien looked so cute! "We're here for u on rainy days!" Hugs to Clydia n Lien for spreading cheer in my life. =)

Outings with Clydia! shopping ard town and Clydia's Sweet 21 at Cha Cha Cha! i had e loveliest time with ya sweetie, my sweet tooth sister! i'm always looking forward to our treats at the daily scoop and thanks dear for introducing me to the spicy world of mexican food!

Deepest Thanksgiving for Jordan in moots. And for all his friends who came down to support him. Seeing u in action was unforgettable. Lost in ur words... Captured by you. Congrats dear. Praise and Glory to Our Heavenly One. =)

Most of all.... it has been a time of intense reflection... You have shown me my imperfections, my insecurities and fears and in the midst of it showered me with so much grace and so much love... When the tears fall that night, You were watching over me... and You lovingly brought me into the comfort of Amy, Peggy and Liting. You've given me 3 sisters in that one day.. sisters who share similar burdens and understand so so welll...and it happens not by chance but truly by your divine intervention. letting go bit by bit... my fear, my pride, my wall is crumbling piece by piece... i don't have to be strong by myself anymore... I have You.
