little blessings:)

went for baybeats last night :) whoa! cool music. chill-out music. moshable music. interesting to see how much music instruments have evolved from big bulky trumpies to small nintendo-sized DS that can emit more funky grooves/combos than most can imagine. later will be checking out this band, "In Each Hand A Cutlass". they're post rock. they'll be on from 7pm to 730pm at either the arena or powerhouse at esplanade. good stuff. wished i could hang around longer to enjoy a saturday's night of fine music. I've gotta go back in AGAIN. tonight by 9. yup. no sunday for me again. again. coz got range. darn. so keen on helping out for sunday's evangelistic workshop. haiz. sorry for disappointing people over and over again. oh mans..anberlin from USA leh..

pray for my range tmrw that i can do well, for the upcoming enlisting of my boys, my prep-course in a neighbouring island next week, exercising and reminding myself of His word and to be grateful and thankful to God always in the little things that i'm blessed with. :)

take care with truck loads of God's love. ;)

my takeaway. for yours to share.

army daze:)

first time i've got a week away from army life. :) refreshing. very much. went for aroma back massage and foot reflexology at kenko. plus i got a free fish spa:D kinda creepy with wiggling thingys nibbling ur leg. ewww.. but its suppose to detox your legs. haha. but i wondered if they ever change the fishes..if not..hmmm. and the back and foot massages did made me feel lighter and less stiff on the neck and shoulders. interesting to learn of the nerves that are connected to the foot and back. like when you press, then if there's some pain, then this part of your body is not too good. etc etc. more fulfilling was the time i spent reading God's word. understanding Numbers 10-14. :))

please be happy already.

prayer request.

a buddy of mine has been admitted to the hospital 3hours ago. doctors have found some inconsistency from the ECGs that they have done. he is currently under observation in the A & E Observation Ward for 8 hours. he is worried that the worse might happen. a heart seizure. he has been feeling a lot of sharp pains in his chest recently even when doing light duties. do please pray for his anxiety to subside, courage to hope in the Lord and relief for his family. thank you.

pause

dear readers, your writer is unwell. he will be away for awhile. you can reach him by text.

breaths short. :0

shortness of breath. usually occurs when one is claustrophobic and cooped in a confined space. or running, when your heart just keeps whipping your poor lungs with shockwaves of signals demanding "EXPAND you pigs!! MORE oxygen!!". or feeling the side effects of munching on those tasty crispy deep fried youtiao complement with soya bean drink (I sense a heartburn coming:p). or just the stress and the heavily laden things you often care so much about. you're unwell. but the doctor can't find out what's really wrong after listing out the possibilities. he suggests you go home and rest. you've got nothing else to say coz you've said what's to be said. you gave the doctor's advice a chance. you trust his judgement or diagnosis on your condition. somehow deep down you know you're unwell. you need help. and there's nothing you can do. coz he's a doctor afterall. this is when you pray. and all is well again. coz even if u're truly unwell, He's watching over you. :)

take a walk with me. :)

a long and lone wooden bench situated at the apex of the pavement facing the sea. i sat alone on one end of the bench. the sea breeze in the evening was cooling. i closed my eyes and tilted my nose towards the sky to steal a breath from the oncoming breeze. i enjoyed that moment the most. it was filled with nothing. no sound of passing vehicles, no task to execute, not thinking of my troubles. just an elderly couple taking a stroll together with their cane holding hands and the low dull tones of waves. they were lovely. loving. lovers all over again. there were no conversations between them. they treasured the silence and their partner's presence. that was sufficient to keep them going. to know that that person you love is still living beside you caring for you. in my eyes, they're my perfect couple.

sanctify this withered soul of mine.

internet at last:)

its kinda weird not using the internet over the weekends. but it sure is nice to sit in front of the computer typing away your thoughts:) *no hard feelings moleskine notebook;), you know i know can already* :) i called. you picked. i struggled a little to say "hello". *so instinctively the weird hello greetings kicked in as usual* i wished you had a monologue:P to listen to your voice. pardon i didnt pay much attention to the contents coz i wanted to hear you. honestly. i had 6hrs worth of credit and i was ready to expand it. but of course i knew, that would not happen. it would be impractical, non-logical, inconsiderate, harmful to ears, and the list goes on. haha. i missed your presence.

went to "streams of praise" on sunday. it was at bethesda bedok-tampines church. they came out with a new album, "bu4 yao4 fang4 qi4" (dont give up). as usual, i lip-sing the new songs. like sing with the flow or pretend to sing like a pro. :P heehee. and i recalled the time we went for their previous concert at Odeon, Kallang. i rmbed you wore blue. :) one of those fond memories. captured and stored in my mind's mind.
