I am still in Singapore.
In exactly 3 hours, I will leave this land. *Pauses for sentimental reflection* On a comfy coach back to Subang. I am not sure if I should be sad or happy.
Significantly sad - because I will have to leave my close friends behind, and I won't see them again for ages (I am hopefully returning to Singapore soon for a conference in September though). I will definitely miss the convenience of the MRT, the hygiene, the orderliness and efficiency of all systems (yeah, it's so me!)... and...haha, the shopping! Not that things here are any cheaper from those in Penang - but the variety is so much greater! Yes, I have to start doing my assignments for the June deadline! *Dread*
Happy - because it's a good closure to my 3-week break from my seminary studies. It's been the best 3 weeks of the year, really. Also, I am happy, because there's so much more to look forward to. Breakthroughs, wonders, answered prayers, God's provisions, etc.
Tomorrow, I am going to meet up with Jasmine, whom I haven't met in person for 7 years already (actually I have never met her in person... but we have corresponded through blogs, emails and ... strangely, text messages). Can you imagine...it's been 7 years? We are going to have dinner at Mid-Valley Megamall... *Excited* Somehow, God - by His grace - had placed her in my life even when I was much younger in my faith, so that I could minister to her with whatever I could offer - or even when I did not realize it - through my blog... It was through this relationship/friendship, especially in the past year or so, God worked on my character - I learnt (with many failings) much patience, unconditional love and how to empathize kindly with another's suffering. I am also encouraged that God did work in her life through me - not so that I could boast of anything in my many weaknesses, inadequacies and failings - but so that God Himself would be glorified! So yeah - tomorrow, I am going to meet this precious younger sis-in-Christ. Thank God that both of us could make some time to meet-up despite our schedules! Talk about a divine appointment! Nothing happens for no reason. God is a God of purpose.
Happy also because on Friday, I will receive a bear-hug from Ben. *cries with joy* Sweet....
I love, I love...
