rediscovering eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

You will call upon me and come pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and ifnd me when you seek me with all your heart," says the Lord.
Jeremiah 29:11
Congrats Besty Serene for passing your driving test!!!! haha you know i kept walking up n down to check my phone to see if you've msged me the good news.. And true enough at 11:29 sharp, our dearest Serene Koh(The one in the centre of this pic) passed her driving test! Hmm maybe i should try your instructor.. hopefully he's not as cheekoh as my previous one who offered me brazillian kiss or another boyfriend every other time. *Disclaimer: I dont have a boyfriend but to protect myself from further cheekoh nonsense, i created a boyfriend for myself.. But it proved to be very unhelpful.
But this definitely brings back memories when i
first took my driving test. And yes all of you know the story. Sheena did not pass her driving test. And has yet to retake her test as well. Many have been urging me to retake soon coz the advance theory will expire some day. Not that i was too traumatised to retake eversince. But i had many things on hand to settle and hmm consider it as shortflow of cash as well. Plus the need to find the right instuctor. So people please stop bugging me to retake. I will soon. And should I fail again this time round, please do not add the "oh i told you to take earlier what"sentence. It hurts to hear such sentences. Such sentences will not help me to pass my test.
Me, Jean, Eunice and JingXiWell that being said, I thought i should add that i had a great day today. Had project meeting with Bernice for Sociology of Education @ Minotti, Raffles City. Man the food was awesome! Had a pollo sandwhich( grilled chicken, zucchnni and baked tomato in minotti's special bread) and i think it's called rhinogratino (Lemon Sorbet, Berry-Yogurt Gelato and some other berry gelato decked in some berry sauce as well). The lemon sorbet was fa
ntabulous! Although i must admit that most of our discussions were more about our tastes and good food around (she highly recommended Blue waters @ Purvis St.. Should try it !), we managed to discuss abit of what we are gonna do for our term paper and it's definitely exciting. I'm not gonna tell you. :P After that she had to head down to esplanade to borrow some movies while I being in the mood for the arts.. ( think it's the Spore biennale that's going on lately..) I headed to Art Friend to get some brushes for myself, arcylic paint and fixative for Jeremy. And i spent in total $41.50 lor.. I so feel like painting soon. Should get my portfolio done.
Me, Rachel and Beverly with the "MuffinLook" or so rach termed it
Oh wells then i tried to get into the Lee Kong Chian Lib after that but i paused for the World Press photo exhibition that my church mate Ivan had been talking about during cell. It was an exhibition featuring photos taken all around the world where disasters or famine or wars took place. Pictures like a head that was cut off and postioned next to an empty chair. Set in a dark room and will spot lights highlighting the head and the emptiness of the room, it gave a very depressing feel as you reflect how fortunate you are while teens in Guatemala are struggling to survive as the Mara gangs fight against each other. I realised that the world is so desensitized to such pictures. Although i admit it does create awareness that there are people in this world who are struggling, but the next minute you will be bombarded by advertisements of the latest sale, the next must have or which stock to get. Which i must add, I got a call just now from ABN-Ambro asking me if i wanted to sign up for this professional or deluxe credit card package. Then the telemarketer continued to ask if my annual income was more than 40k. i just laughed at the number and told him to forget it. NUS students are poor. But you see people in this world are just busy promoting credit cards and compulsive spending.
And after those thought provoking pictures I thought i would be focused enough to do my research, you know the 'I must study hard' mentality does naturally
sets in.. But i was stopped at the security counter. I'm not allowed to enter because i brought in an article. So i need to go back to the locker and keep my article away from the reference library. I admit I wasnt so pleased with the system because it's really getting strict man. So in the end i didnt managed to get into the library coz i couldn't find another 20 cent. And that brought me to Bugis st for retail therapy. haha i only bought a retro dress la. Got it at discount! From $39 to $35. wahaha i feel good... :P
