chinese new year has come and gone!! haha what a joyful time of family bonding. i <3 my cousins and uncles and aunties and gramps!! weee :D thank God i didnt eat too much this year, need to watch my weight and hopefully lose some before i see him. IF i do. hahaha. PICTURES SOON!

talked to wangjunxia (friend frm shanghai) just now, haha really had a good time. think our personalities are too similar.. sometimes i totally understand what shes saying. and viceversa. its kinda interesting. hahaha. and she said many things that made sense and confirmed what i had in my head. ahahhaha. i realised common friends are really darn impt for longdist. hmm.. talking to her started me thinking about "what fellowship can light have with darkness" (2 Cor 6), but not really just in the marriage sense (according to the passage); more like friends-wise. hmm.. food for thought to chow on when i have more leisure time to write.

valentine's day is coming! post-As is a season for boyfriends/girlfriends; at every gathering the subject matter inadvertently switches to matters of the heart (or the hormones). the peer pressure is definitely there, so i applaud and admire people like vanessa chong who has settled it with God already. like, she has that ka-pow! steadiness and resilience when it comes to this. "no bf now its okay, im gonna meet him one day anyhows, but i sure hope he's sexy!" kinda thing. hahaha. and mind you, its not cos she has the gift of celibacy like paul -_-. so i guess for once, the people to be envied are the singles, not the attached, cos in a sense the singles are the ones who emerge triumphant over their circumstances, the singles go through much more than those attached. they are the winners in life too! we always think the attached are lucky, dunno why boys drop down from the sky into their lives like the snow that poured down in shanghai. hello, the singles don't give in to peer pressure, and they don't let fate (or the boys that don't happen in their life) dictate their feelings and plans. singles are overcomers! hahaha! at least, the happy ones :)

yes, so, kudos to all the singles out there :) for once, stop envying your attached friends, fill that need for adoration and love with GOD'S love and GO SPLURGE ON SOME GOOD FOOD FOR VDAY MAN OH YEAH!

and for people who are straddling that middle ground, not here not there.. goodluck to us! i dunno what to say. hahaha. be happy thinking of the guy you can't go out with? hahaha. this sounds like, self-deprecating humour(less).

for now, i need to settle down my heart and mind and get ready for work tmr!
