I don’t think my body is used to the heat and aircon and whatnot.
I am so freaking exhausted. My head is hurting. My nose is runny and blocked and just confused, really.
Can’t wait for the next public holiday, which is less than 2 weeks away!
There’s something wrong with me.
I’ve this sudden urge to check my work emails, but I can’t.
It’s only day 3 of my holiday…
I can’t stress how glad I am to be away from home for a week.
I was helping a friend find an old sermon in my old planetUNI folder in my laptop.
I found the folder with all the old sermons that I preached in 2009/2010 and OMG the first one that I opened was the one where I did this whole thing on prayer and fasting and meditation which I forgot all about until… 5 minutes ago.
How timely since PD has been talking about meditation, prayer and fasting!
Oh well, funny enough, cause I’m going to Melbourne in 2 days time!! Exciting times!
"There are three things that are too amazing for me,
four that I do not understand:
the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a young woman."

Proverbs 30:18-19 (via scripturesketches)
The bible can be so poetic
(via

That’s true.
It’s funny, I was doing my devotions just now and I was telling God how weird love is.
(via morethanblessed)
Everyone knows I’m big on that.
So today, when my boss whatsapped me (which is a first), I nearly flipped.
Everyone knows whatsapp is for casual conversations. Right?
You are supposed to love your family.
You are supposed to love your friends.
You are supposed to love your spouse.
You are supposed to love God.
But what happens if you’re finding it impossible to do so?
Somehow whenever I tell people I’m doing audit, their response would be “OhhHhhHh”. I can’t quite do the intonation over a blog post, but I think you sort of get the idea.
The truth is… I don’t dislike audit. This might come as a surprise but I do enjoy audit. And tonight during lifegroup, I was just so assured that this is why I moved back to Singapore. I moved back from comfortable Melbourne for my career. I am right where I’m supposed to be. Well, for my career at least.
And people might not know this but I knew I was gonna do audit since I was 16. Well, when I was 14, I wanted to do PWM. But that kinda changed. Can’t remember why though.
Yes, there are times when I’m sian or annoyed or pissed off while working, but I think that’s normal. Kinda like when you get annoyed at your parents or friends or significant other.
I guess the downside to audit in Asia is really the working conditions and everyone around is so damn negative.
Other than that, I know that God knew how things were gonna turn out all along. And for that, I’m thankful.

Scott Fitzgerald to Zelda Fitzgerald, March 1919 (via weepling)
F Scott Fitzgerald, I fall more and more in love with you every time I come by a genius writing of yours. On a side note, can’t wait for the movie The Great Gatsby!
"It is, in a way, an apology for the other men who have made this extra gesture of comfort so necessary. When a man walks you to the bus, or carries your bags, or makes sure you get home okay, he is doing what he can to make your experience just that much less threatening. And while, in a perfect world, we would be treating both women and men with the exact same levels of deference and effort, the truth is that one group simply doesn’t need it like the other one does. The world isn’t as disrespectful to them, isn’t as damaging to their ability to walk through things freely — even at night."

My secondary school seating partner of almost 2 years ran in the Boston Marathon. She is brilliant and one of the best people I have ever known.
Thank God she is a competitive runner and came in 3+ hours after the race commenced.
