Chocolate :)

You are Dark Chocolate

You live your life with intensity, always going full force.
You push yourself (and others) to the limit... you want more than you can handle.
An extreme person, you challenge and inspire the world!

A penny's worth.

To love with passion
is akin to tossing your soul into an ocean wide
to gasp and drown
be swept away
or to forever be unravelling
its mysterious beauty.

Sidetrack...
Just glanced at today's date. I'll be a quarter of a century old in a quarter of a year's time. I feel... old. And ignorant. I wonder where those years have vanished into.

Train of thought.


Hm, isn't this scary. >.<

Puke.

Food poisoning! Broken my record for not puking for the longest time ever-18yrs now. Let's see if I can sustain the next 18yrs.
The panadeine's really taking effect, I feel like I can stay up the whole night, which really isn't very desirable for the moment.
I haven't showed us a picture of dear lil Tink for awhile. Here's her on mum's bed looking all cutesy.

Photobucket!


Leaves, beanie, sunshades and seashells on Pulau Perhentian. See that little black dot in the water? That's criss. :)













Hybrid orchids at the National Orchid Gardens.
Stunning!

Random thoughts. I could write so much, but I wouldn't end up doing so. Maybe because this space looks cluttered when I do.

I met Kelly, a lovely Scottish girl, on saturday. She'd done the rounds in Australia, New Zealand and South Asia for a year now, and is returning home. She had a few british friends on a working holiday too, and I wonder why I don't know any singaporeans at all who will go on a working holiday. We paid to enter the Orchid garden in the Botanic gardens, and I saw a real pitcher plant for the first time. Didn't really go chomp-chomp-chomping on insects with evil teeth like I'd imagined.

Thank the Lord I had a good night at ae (but with a pyo, as Jenn had spoken unto me...), and a good rest at home later. Nothing beats mum's home cooked food, even if the dishes have been on an 11 day repeat cycle for the past 24years.
The venetian brownie ice cream thing was far too sickly-saccharine-sweet for a human to digest. I would possibly relish the rich belgian chocolate drink a lot more on another day by itself.
Afterward, I hear the news reporting 9-11, 5 years on, the recollection of its horrors and repercussions. Protesters getting arrested in Zimbabwe. Lebanon and Israel.
What decadence in this little dot on the map in contrast to the desolation we only observe through a lighted box.

I look forward to my days off so much. Such a sloth, not wanting to stretch the brain cell.

Maybe I don't understand people as much as they think I do? Withdrawing is probably a result of something you keep, that you don't want the world to know. Or of the realisation that it's only God and you that matters. But God made us for fellowship. No man is an island.

Today

After we stitched the prolapsed buccal pouch of this hamster in and she pushed it out 15mins later at 410pm and we had to replace, put 2 stitches in, plus a little x-ray ecollar on her, which made her depressed and which I thought would make me late for Keith's baptism... I was the first of us to arrive at church!

I am always late for what I plan to turn up early for; and always early for what I plan to, or think I would be late for. I am always early meeting Ruth. :)

A friend said...

I seem like a bird let out of her cage.

And I still cannot help but wonder what it must be like to have 6 people after you at the same time.

And so I tested out the power of words tonight. The sense of foreboding came, but we prayed, declared that it will be a good night, and God is true to His words. It was a good quiet night. :) Apart from the fact that I didn't find the thing stuck in the throat of this gp, which has disturbed me till now. It made me wonder how unworthy I am to be attempting to save any living thing at all. I have deep admiration for those who have dedicated their lives to the healing of human beings, to be bearing such a great responsibility and burden upon their shoulders. My closest friends especially, giving their souls to this most high calling even though it means being stifled by everything- the system, superiors, and the very beings they give their best for.

Urggghhh I really feel like whining tonight! This is just not me... wwwm.

But you know, for the first time in months, I truly feel alive.
