My mother’s so adorable, always asking me about boys now that I’m older. She used to be all “NO! No boyfriends!” xD When she first spotted me holding hands with a boy when I was 17, she pretty much blew her top, lol. I asked why she keeps asking me now and she said that since I’m old enough to have a boyfriend, she wants to know all the inside scoop, rofl. Oh, Mum…

Not only am I not interested in a relationship right now, I don’t have time for one, not to mention not having time to go out and meet one. If it’s in God’s plans for me to have one now, I would’ve already have/met one, lol. Boys or no boys, my life is going good anyway. It’s all in His plans, so I’ll just wait patiently. :)

Oh, and Happy Independence Day to all US friends!

Saturday was just that!

• Just as I was at the bus stop and about to cross the road to get to the mall to meet Gav, he alighted a bus that just arrived not long after mine!
• When I was booking How to Train Your Dragon 3D tickets for us earlier that day, there were only two seats left on the entire row so I took it. When we were seated, there were only three seats in between me and the guy further down the row. A family of four came and were surprised to find there were only three seats. She asked what seat I was on, so I said K19. She also had a K19 ticket; we were confused. She asked if we could go outside to settle the situation, so I said okay. We went out and she examined her ticket. Turns out, three of her tickets were correct, and one was for the day before. She told me to go back to my seat as mine was right, so I did. I have no idea where they went after that, lol.
• As I was walking home from the bus stop, I saw two familiar figures in front of me: my sister and her boyfriend. They didn’t notice me till I stood right beside her for a while, and they got a shock, lol!

What a weird but nice Saturday, it was. :)

So, quick summary of the past two months that I haven’t been updating.

Only – CD Promotion Tours
Some may know that my church produced a CD (all self-written by talented church members :D), of which I had helped design the cover and sleeve. We’ve been having tours since the beginning of Jan and it’s been really fun! Check out the CD! Each CD only costs S$15 and proceeds go to the Baptist Building Fund so you know it’s for a good cause! More information can be found at the website. :)

Boys Like Girls Concert @ Compass Ballroom, Resorts World (28 Jan)
Absolutely glad I decided to go because it was so much fun and they put up a great performance! Resorts World also looked pretty awesome. :D Wasn’t too impressed with the teenies around me and Lorraine though. You should’ve heard their conversation and seen the way this girl was acting around her boyfriend. Icky. He didn’t seem too responsive either, lol!

Maternal Grandmother’s Death (23 Feb)
I also went through a really tough time when my grandmother passed away just a week after I saw her. I was in shock and denial. My brain knew not how to deal with it. Even now, looking back on the wake and funeral, it seems like an out-of-body experience. Throughout the entire wake, and then seeing my grandmother go into the incinerator was surreal. The entire experience was/is surreal. I know that my grandmother is dead, but at times I still think as though she is alive. Such as, when I have a boyfriend, I could bring him over to introduce to her. I will never get that privilege and it upsets me. I also regret those times that I decided not to go visit her just because I was lazy. I’m glad that she at least got to drink the really nice Japanese apple juice that I bought for her during CNY. I hope she knew how much I love her, so much so that I, out of my love/respect for her and Mum, participated in a tiny part of the Buddhist ritual that was against my faith. May God forgive me. When Faith (colleague) came, she told me something I’d never forget: “Stand strong. There’s only one pair of eyes to please.” and I’m ever so thankful for that. :)

Department Weekend Chalet (19 – 21 Mar)
Had a good time at the chalet, which served as a farewell to Boss as he had been transferred to another department. :( Stayed for 3D2N! Also tried out bowling with colleagues and Boss. Even though I pretty much suck at it the first round (gutter ball queen, haha), it was so much fun. :D The second round proved much better. :p I’m so going to get Dad to bowl with me, him being all experienced and stuff. He used to take part in his ex-company’s bowling tournaments, haha! Got his own bowling ball and all. I told Dad and he said we’d go together one day! I’ll try not to gutter ball as much. :p

Subway’s Clash of the Titans Promo
I won a pair of tickets to Clash of the Titans 3D private screening just by eating Subway and submitting the promo card code online! I was so amazed when I got the text congratulating me, because that Monday, I’d decided not to eat with my colleagues and went to get Subway instead! Thank God for blessing me with this. :D I’ve invited Dad to join me and he agreed! Life is good.

ONE. – Baptist Youth Rally (27 Mar)
Went to my first Youth Rally and as we were having P&W, I started crying as we sang “I’ll never know how much it costs, to see my sin upon that cross.” and I was looking up at the cross. It was such a sudden raw mixed emotion and I couldn’t control it. I’ve never experienced it to that extent before and it reaffirmed me of my love for God and my desire to become a better person than I was before (yeah, I wasn’t a very nice person :p). I am thankful every day for every little thing that He provides me with, because I know that what He gives, He can also take away.

Besides those highlighted events, work is as the same so nothing much to tell about that. I’m also finally able to honestly say that I love and enjoy life. :D Even if something really crappy happens, it always works out. I give all the credit to God and am extremely thankful for His blessings. Praise the Lord!
