Agape.

There is no Love greater than that of God's.

This weekend, He reminded us of the meaning of that 4-lettered word.

A word we learnt since young, in our children's rhyme, from our parents/grandparents.

And the simplest form, yet the one most difficult to achieve is that of Self-sacrifice.

From John 3:16, we know, He has sacrificed The Best for us. And with that, there is nothing else God won't do for us, because He loves us.

How do You define Love?

In 1 Cor 13:4-7; the boundaries have been drawn.

I know I keep quoting these verses, but it serves as a reminder. Maybe to myself.

It is patient, and it is not proud.

We are taught to love our neighbours as ourselves, to love your enemy.

So how do we Love?

--------------------------------------------

Thursday; lunch at HollandV with Mrsdarcy and Wei'an,

followed by a series of quick shopping for the patient, and a (unintended sinful) food visit down to Crabby's. We tried to talk happy stuff/silly stuff and distract her from her discomfort and pain. I dare say to us, happyfood always works best(: + helium balloons! Nothing is as happy as helium balloons(: We got a H.arry Potter one  since she already had every other Get-well-soon balloon that caught our eye. The other two made a few phone calls to check the spelling of EXPELLIARMUS which we finally did, thanks to Wei'an(:

We had desserts from Da Paolo (supermothereffingkickassawesome!), the new kinder surprise, her Ahgong bought us Icecream from the Icecream man (old school but love it!) and we had more sugar rush from reminiscing the trigger happy JC days. 

Dinner with Dxxx where we over ate, then shopped a little for destress(: Hah.

Thanks for telling me my nonexistent bicepped arms are huge. I love you very much. ROAR.

Friday: Church- A solemn, solemn Good Friday.

Yet, why is this Good Friday good? (For you to answer yourself)

Studied studied cried studied cried cried studied studied. :(

Saturday: The Bestie had me over so we could study together while not being in an airconditioned place (fluuu!) We had the clock resounding every hour, counting down to the bare hours left to my paper (she only starts much later!) and being fed by Y.fei + Dennis. They made ice cream (cookies&cream + Hazelnut) and durian puffs; so we just ate. And after dinner we had tangyuans too. Basically we just ate while studying. FATSSS. But it was happiness(:

So O/A levels. (:

Sunday; 8am service!! Went home to nap before meeting Penguin & PresAw(:

We came back to school earlier than I expected, later than they scheduled (heehee), dinnered, attempted studying and fantasized more business plans: UNITUT !?, Shared (un)funny jokes, shot each other weird stares everytime our phones rang....... OK UNPRODUCTIVE.

And we had supper. (:

----------------------------------

It's not in me to force His word unto my friends, but I hope all of you had your share of God's grace, God's love this weekend(:

Because I did(:

THERMO IN TWO DAYS! :(

Your Skin And Bones.

This weekend passed by,

quick and spontaneous, like any other.

The difference though, is the after taste it has left behind.

Bitter sweet, but also enlightening.

Tragic, but true; that it always takes things like these for you to know the truth.

Friday night was spent prawning til 4. We had a few bites, but we caught nothing. We have so much more to learn about this new thing we're trying to pick up, just like how much more we have yet to know about each other despite the hours we've had together.

We also witnessed a fight, that broke up within the same group of friends, which involved hair tugging, chair throwing, beer-bottle smashing, lots of vulgarities and eventually the police.

(But to start with, I had an early Black Friday: my friends left for school without me, I had a bad test with unfriendly company, I mixed up match venues, I almost sprained my ankle walking across a grass patch, I got attacked by ants... Argh)

We probably fell asleep only after the sun rose, and slept til the clouds hid the risen sun. It started pouring and I murmured, "Thank God I didn't have a game today." Not because we could spend the afternoon together, but because I didn't want to go home with my underpants soaked.

Then suddenly, three words you said to me shot through like an arrow in a bull's eye, "I dunnoe leh" and I finally knew what "More than words" meant.

Most of the time, the final word in the final sentence is "Bye", but I decided to play it different. And I said it, the most effortlessly summarised phrase: "Fuck you."

Being kickass friends, my FridayNightGang (self proclaimed) had already picked me up and took me down to BarBarBlackSheep; Smokin'frogz rather, for (really oily and fattening) dinner. Being the gentlemen they are, they even paid for dinner (which I barely ate). Wanted to drink, but chose to head East to the Beach to pick up the other 1/4 missing from the party of Four. (where the driver was being a complete Gangster on the road)

Joe's (slightly) dysfunctional Macbook and terrible wireless connection took us on a detour to Tampines where we crashed and become a party of Seven (of which two were virtual). Skyped with the one in Aussie, and another in England; Liang I miss you alot =(

Was sent home safely and slept in til mysecretDate woke me up an hour late. If you didn't know this about me, I secretly hate waking up when I'm upset. But this time the numbing effect lasted longer than I thought it would. Spent the day studying/digressing/reading NewMoon with mysecretDate and Penguin dearest. This was where I randomly flipped the book open and read the below quoted paragraph. Today was not meant to be productive (academically wise), but merely an excuse to distract and take my/your/our mind off things. This spells Discipline. I probably also had an ultimate sugar overdose for the second consecutive day (imagine: 2 tubes of Mentos and 1 packet of Skittles all in less than 3 hours. Yesterday, it was MagnumWhite + BubbleT).

The numbness, faded a little while over dinner. But it came back after the nostalgic ride back to school. No, it's bad, but it's good for you.

And tonight, my best friend is coming over (hall) to crash.

This is a support system that will never fail you.

It's Not Always Rainbows and Butterflies.

Recess Week;Met my Mrsdarcy alot to slackshopeattalk and just be around each other.

Had an extremely wet Saturday where we played in the rain and took breaks when the rain stopped. Headed down to Th.omson to look for D dearest (If you see this, are you ok!!!!???)

and had an unintended stayover at H.ave8. =\

Church on Sunday where I had my motherfingkillercramps so I spent the entire Sunday in bed and missed the gathering at Syl's place =(

CP meeting on Monday, almost everything is done now except a few minor changes and little things to confirm with extenal companies. Really really looking forward to camp, though it is going to be super tiring on us. =) Dear Mrsdarcy was 45mins too late, and the next thing we knew, we were running across overhead bridges, running after buses so as to not be late for S' game. (which they lost and it was pretty wasted)

Woke up earlyearly on Tues for Manufacturing meeting. And everybody was L-A-T-E! >=(

But here's what happened:

(The previous night)

P: "G can you wake me up at 8 tomorrow please! It's so late already and I'm scared I'd oversleep."

(The next morning)

P: "Good morning! I'm awake!"

G: "Wah seems you woke earlier than me."

.

.

.

.

G: "I just showered. I think I will leave my house at about 830 :)" --> I remember the smiley.

P: "Aren't you gonna be SOOOOOOO late? My dad's sending me there"

G: "Wah shit."

It was really quite funny. =)

Had Kui.shimbo buffet for lunch with S and caught He's just not that into you as recommended by Yanns but we didn't like it! :(

Rushed off for training cos it ended later than expected. Good thing the Bff was around the area too (: And training was, wet wet wet once again. Hate the sun, but also hate the rain around evening times.

McD. for supper cos I skipped dinner. Hrmmmm.

It was a really ordinary day for a special one, it felt just like any other normal day which shouldn't have been the case. =( Was a tad bit disappointed, and sad. But... oh well. It just says alot.

Wednesday; Bao meetup was cancelled due to last min pangsehs and mia cases. Vivoed for lunch and got Boost juice(: Yay, yay. Headed back to school only to find out training is cancelled =( so we KFCed for lunch and caught Slumdog.

Studied more with Penguin dearest on Thursday and left for home at night.

(Supposed to) study more with Mrsdarcy on Friday but we got distracted in Town and started retail therapying. =) And and and, I had my Starbucks fix(:

Met the boysss (Ahgong and fellow #8!) who bullied us over dinner; They brought us for Jap food at some kickass restaurant whose menu is entirely in Japanese and they refused to help us. Headed to B.arstop (nice place(: ) after that though! For drinks and to catch up. And we revisited The Blue Hole, which btw, looks different?

Saturday was disappointing. The sun was scorching hot, and I felt more lethargic than I normally did. Probably cos I didn't sleep well =( And we lost the only game I wanted to win so badly. Oh wellllll. Had 100+ at the coffeeshop with Syl and felt a little like Uncles who have beers and peanuts. Missed lunch cos I just didn't have the appetite.

Was asked over for a birthday celebration which was pretty cute(: 

Slept with a fulltummy and woke up feeling really sick on Sunday :( Cabbed to Tan.jong together with the rest of the team and allowed ourselves to get burnt. Felt this year's S&S wasn't as fun as last year's tooo. =( It poured as expected (just as we were leaving so we still got soaked anyway) and had awesome tomyam noodles for dinner and slept from 7 til 1030pm. OMG :|

So now, back to school.

Hate it as usual, but at least it keeps you going.

Don't Care Where It Ends, It Doesn't Matter Now.

Woke earlyearly again this morning despite sleeping at 3. :(

I don't really have much to do without my notes nor updated online lectures.

Seriously dread going back to school but I should just STOP whinging already.

The first day after landing back in Sg was pretty awesome too(:

It made homecoming easier to accept, hah!

Met l.shit for our typical lunch-at-Central catchups, and we grocery shopped for Mom and he witnessed my ugliest hair yet. :(

Well, I wanted to trim it cos it was getting messy.. but it just got out of control.

And the hairdresser snipped my fringe, like :O .

And she kept trying to salvage it which got worse, and my face just got blacker with every snip. :@ Boohoo

Accompanied D* to cny-shop, but I think I shopped more. Knowing I might give in to temptations, I made a list of things I can buy, which were: Tights and Shoes.

And I got both. :$ But well ok, at least I didn't get more than what I need so it's good right? (:

And we soup spoon-ed! Yay, ok favourite + it's healthy (low carb) and it does not taste like puke Art.hurlim! :(

But the ultimate purpose of D getting her cny clothes was also achieved, so yay, it was a very fulfilling meeting.

PS: I found my new psyche up song!

PPS: My house smells like pineapple cookies, yum! This is the reason to love cny! 

"Do You Wanna Be A Quitter? Or Someone Who Stays"

One week ago,

Tuesday; we had pizza and macdonalds and htht after training til two in the morning,

with our shorts and underwear soaked from icedips. Then we lugged the huge green bin back all the way from CanA.

Wednesday; Yanyi crashed IS training (it was fun though!), then we starved while waiting for the Bff and Spacemedic0016 (haha) and had lunch at 3. Then my stomach/digestive system threw a tantrum (diarrhoea) and the rest of the body screamed for rest. Decided to give training a miss (despite the coin flipping's decision to not skip) and slept. Woke up with a fever and found myself in deep shit. But then again, I didn't quite care.

Thursday; 

the cousins/aunts were back from cruiseee. Shopped a little in town before the friendly (omg the blue top from topshopt and black top from fcuk :( ) Played a pretty awesome + fun game with the boys down at Rpeeee.

Cabbed down with wet shorts/underwear/shirt/skins (totally freezing!) to Laopasat and had only chicken wings and squid for dinner. =( Then headed back to Ritz for the rest of the night and baby-fashion-show-watched til we felt sleepy and Shanniee stayed over! :D

Friday; woke up to Macs, headed down to Full.erton, then more shopping, more babysitting, more Macs and lotsa Starbucks. S came later with a surprise (skins!!) and he took over the babysitting (or baby carrying in this sense). And we bumped into lotsa people: "secret daughters?".

Haha. Had some Mega Seafood Feast for dinner but it wasn't as yummy as it looked. PSP-ed like mad the whole night with lotsa A.pe Academy challenging. Then we said our final goodbyes(:

Saturday; slept in, caught S's game (awesome game!), tossed in bed til late :\

Sunday; wet, wet, wet, cold. Prayed for rain, and training to be cancelled. Got the first, didn't get the second. Boohoo =(

Then I watched Love Actually til I couldn't stop crying (haha)

-----------

This week,

Monday; caught the Bestie for breakf before she left for Europeeee, that lucky girl. I love you, Seeef! :D Then met Pong, and we ate til we popped (though we shared a meal and didn't intend to binge at all). Then, the very screwed up friendly.

Then D, as usual, ohsonicely cabbed down to check up on me(: And we did what we used to always do, but haven't done in a really long time. ;) Thanks for everything, as always, Love.

I love you, Ding! :D

Tuesday; CP meeting at Starbucks. We're almost done, and I hope we don't need to meet on Thurs anymore :D Caught the very last quarter of Basketball IH, then trained with a new area taped up.

"That's new. What happened?"

"Uh, I don't know, It just hurts."

--

Coach and I had a very good talk after training, together with J and A.

"It is just how much you want it."

She gave me the green light to make my own decision and assured me not to think/worry too much.

But I am still indecisive.

We ordered Macs (again :( ) to Fifteen and ate at the lounge, with aircon (hence freezing with our shorts &underwear wet again..), television, and a mini htht.

When you can't find strength from within, you draw it from others.
