My first Korean movie.

Believe it or not, I watched my 1st Korean movie today. A Season for Love. Combination of 4 stories, very different from Love Actually. A very good movie, albeit with sad endings, and that means you'd better bring that packet of tissue. I love the way certain scenes were filmed from a rather witty point of view, and the background music was effective for the mood, albeit they could do with a few more songs than playing the same old ones. I give it 5 popcons, go watch!!





I also think one girl (don't know her name, but she acts as the news reporter) really looks like Abrie!!! (She's the one on the top right)

Me, God, and tissue paper.

10:32pm

This evening, I did not go to CG. At about 9:20pm I decided to take the chair to the front porch area, and sat there with God and begin defragmenting like I did the other day, which was shiok. Today's session was super shiok too. Today, I was so real with God. I spoke out loud to Him, and in singlish, in chinese, in utter honesty, of which at many points I was disgusted with mysefl and couldn't accept myself. What irony. Because God accepts me, and I can't accept myself!

It was just me, God, and tissue paper. Awesome.

Honestly, I enjoy this dark night of the soul. This whole season of discouragement. It's so wonderful just being human. And being with a God who understands I'm only human. I didn't want to go CG, and I'm at peace about it now, because I know the Lord accepts it, and I know it's actually better for me. I think it's acceptable for me to react to discouragement this way, and to manifest my inability, my inconsistency, my instability this way, and I love it when God knows and understands it. I just love my God.

........

The song 'Times of Refreshing' has never carried more weight.

Times of refreshing
Here in Your presence
No greater blessing
Than being with You


My soul is restored
My mind is renewed
There's no greater blessing
Than being with You


I don't know how I'm going to fully enjoy the song if I'm in a room, encaved in 4 walls... I truly loved singing that song when I was out in the open, directly under the sky, with grasshopper-noises around me, and a gentle (for once not artificial) night breeze passing by me.

I have yet to do my Critical Review.

Rachel visited Singapore!! We had a glorious time, albeit initially it was very weird fellowshipping with her without 3 layers of wool, not forgetting gloves, cap and thick socks.

Rachel and my grandma outside our house!

Rachel about to feast on pigs organ soup, char kway teow and 'or char ger' (or black carrot cake) !!!!! There's no where else you can get them besides in Singapore and Malaysia!!!!!!!!

My mom decided to dig out photos of old. That's me on the left, playing the drums while crying non-stop on stage.

Here's just a few more miscellaneous photos. Me and wheelsies when we were young. We're so cute!!!!!

Me and Beining

My hilarious daddy. Love his serious expression when he takes photos. Hide says he's the HUMAN TRIPOD!

Glorious stuff!

Here are some freshest photos of recent happenings for your enjoyment!



We had a mini Malacca tour during our CNY!

This place has the most glorious chendol. I'll never ever ever ever forget how BLACK the gula malacca is

Me and my cousins in Jipeh's place at Muar, Johor. Amazed at how fast children grow.

Reunion Dinner @ McNair Road. Had the loveliest coffee-powered pork ribs!

Glorious roti chanai breakfast @ muar with uncle and pretty cousin Beining!

This is what I'd call a REALLY good harvest. A tree that bears MUCH fruit! Look at all the jambu! Lord I wanna bear fruits a hundred fold too!

Family photo - think we were celebrating my baptism cum mommy's birthday!

Very bizarre. Me talking to Ostrich, Mom smiling at camera. Zoo at Desaru Fruit Farm.

Crazy kisses on mommy!!!

Me and pastor Kok Fai in pool, very sheepish looking! (mind you, the water was cold)

This was way back last Nov when we were on a laugh-non-stop family trip to Desaru. We took this in a CAKE SHOP!!!! :)
