ticktock. time is short.

the trigger:

sijia told me how she will not wake up till 1pm on sat & sun. i sensed an envious seed burning up in me. 1pm... sounds awesome~ i hv to admit that this weekend, i've been tempted to skip both activities that i devote my mornings to, orange valley nursing home visit and church. and yet, i couldn't bring myself to. for they are better options than snoozing :):)

then, there's also how i'm finding myself timeless to spend with my friends aka social life. i wish i could hv some breakfast at kovan, catch a movie at cathay, afternoon tea at secret recipe, makan some yummylicious foodies, shop and look pretty. that said, this is how i've spent my january saturdays:

morning - volunteer time, effort and heart to orange valley nursing home. i was a lil skeptical of how zoe and i would make it there every sat as that was our plan/ambitions/vision. as with every other thg, i wanted to start small, just two of us, soemtimes with the siblings in, adn build a commitment and movement from there. in jan, we made it 3/4 times. see. things will crop up. she had OAC, i had SU training for sunday school. feb will be disturbed by cny too. i dunno how things will work out, unless teh Lord builds the house, we labour in vain... and yet, if God's hand is in this, we will certainly find joy and favour in giving our lives in this manner. so far so good! :):)

afternoon - share knowledge -and hopefully what wisdom - with youths. we've been doing it underground at smu. pretty quiet and nice place to study. i thank god for zoe's faithfulness to mass sms the youths that whoever wants to study can join us.

i don't even need a space for sundays on my schedules. church, youth, dinner at grandma's. i only need space to write which ministry i'm serving in for that sunday. hah. i kinda begin to see why bbt just had to remind me that i'm not a superwoman.

i believe, and still hold on to this, that these are good options... i pray yet that the lack of time on weekends will not eat up my friendships. may the friendships i've built over the years with my beloved friends stand the test of time and never falter~ gmail and fb are pretty good communication tools, but i feel they can never replace the face to face chitchatting.

this month, i really missed peter. it's a mix of his stomach flu saga and the bintan keychain that i am reminded/want to meet up. it's been a month or two since the last banmian!

i've told wan abt this, in hope that the miracle happens again. the last time i spoke to wan abt mingwei and gay, they found their ways to reconnect with me - miracles! wootz. i miss banmian. and my dear brother. i pray that peter's appetite will return soon and so will our fridayly dinners.
