I think i wasted my march holidays. but looking on back, it wasn't such a waste after all :) hello shepherd's pie, baked rice and baked pasta. i ate little to none of it cos i had my course in church :) papa yeo and mama yeo were on leave starting wed. but hey, still calls from the office for both of them. she only got a few. daddy was practically at work. he missed out on afternoon siesta times, had to be prodded to eat his food before it got cold, had to eat dinner later because calls from thailand were coming in every other minute, had to be on the laptop/ blackberry every other minute. sigh. on the brighter side, we had lunches, dinners together almost everyday on leave. yay for family time. doesn't matter if it meant i had to skip doing work to do mad things like being out with them to buy bedsheets. no matter how terrible the food might be, it doesn't matter. and of course sometimes the food was good. like tung lok seafood. :) even then, daddy was on the blackberry. sigh.

and today after bible study, i made an important decision. i decided to abandon my lesson plans and head on out to ecp with daddy and nig. they went fishing. i attempted to blade. for a total of 20 minutes. just going from one end of the jetty to the other. all without falling! yay. the initial part was the worst. when you're unaccustomed to wheels. then it gets easier. when the fear goes away. just like how it would be for all things. when the fear disappears, then can i be made perfect in love. :) praying and waiting on the Lord for that. so after having been hidden in the storeroom lonely and uncared for, these blades saw lovely sun today! :)

they couldn't be done with fishing in 20 minutes. so bye bye blades and hello shoes. trusty running shoes that weren't made for running. these shoes have seen fall and winter with me, lots of trails and running escapades. one more for the record. i jogged a pathetic amount having my hair in the way. i needed something to secure it. and after i managed to find a rubberband in the most unexpected part of the car, i decided i had to run. a proper distance. and so i did. :) 2.4k. wasn't a lot but it was all i could take. i'm physically challenged. i shouldn't push myself too hard. not yet anyway. *hums~"trust and obey, for there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey..." it was a good reminder. it was a good run. i still need to clear me up. it's probably true. too little recognition. too little confrontation. it's me i need to deal with. and i will. people. faces. places. memories. baby steps. my lil brother caught a flat fish. daddy got a baby fish. but i know he enjoyed his time. just being away from the world for a bit. just living a little. i'm tired. but i'm happy. :)

the monsoon period is here to stay for a bit. we're seeing whole day rains, intermittent torrential rain, nonstop drizzles. but that doesn't change no thursday dateline for my assignment. haha. monday was a bedok chwee kuey morning and east coast macs for the whole day. it was nice, hiding from it all in a cosy cafe with my friends. lunch was definitely not macs. we wandered out to the hk cafe nearby only to get my honey lemon drink complete with that sticker that comes on lemons. i almost spat out my drink when i saw it. and what did the manager say? oh, the kitchen staff probably didn't see it. no apology, no move made to make my dining experience any less than disgusting. they served us charred carrot cake and explained it as the method of cooking. i've been a waitress once, i don't want to make their life difficult. but to give me blatant excuses as such? you eat those things yourself. honestly. mummy's birthday was monday night. complete with lotus root pork rib mee sua and curry chicken. mmm. and tuesday was a whole day at home making shepherd's pie, baked rice and baked pasta. aunt's off day is cooking day. but i had to be off for a missions course at church. and what time did my day end? 4am in the morning. hello breeks at T2. i could get used to doing my work at the airport. i like it. a lot. :) cafe lattes and bbqchickencheese sandwiches. we're crazy but not so much i don't think. haha. assignment's a nightmare. but no one said i had to live it out as one. we're having fun working on it.
and hey you. is it so hard to be congenial? be strange if you want. but how hard is it to find it in you to be polite. sigh. God speaks comfort. you instill fear in me. but really. whom shall i fear when i am Yours. :) when the going gets tough, the toughness gets trained. continued waiting upon Him. less of an action, more of an attitude. :) everyone's home on holidays. yay familytime! :)

practicum has been... too slack. sure it's crazy doing lesson plans, being involved in school activities. but maybe it'd because i havent actually taught yet so it feels that way. i had to go on a chinatown heritage tour on tues with the p3 kids. it was a terrible day for me. from 7 in the morning till 530pm. then kairos course at church till 930 pm. i was flat out tired. but it was good. as the Lord saw me through it all. fri was the annual sports carnival. it's a new thing where its bye bye sports day and hello sports for everyone. :) i liked the idea. a lot. and it really works. i think all schools should adopt it. n we had prata men on site for the teachers' lunch. from gayatri restaurant. the pratas were nothing much to speak of. but the curries were decent. :) it was nice. just sitting there hanging out with my colleagues. nothing short of grace. to be where the teachers are nice. :) daddy's home today. 'm glad i had family time. instead of being where i won't be appreciated. qu'est-ce que c'est sur vous. i really don't know. i need a break. and thank goodness for the march hols next week and kl maybe. yay. :)

i sleep better with chipster!
