We’re not what we’ve seen.

For those doubts that swirl all around us,
For those lives that tear at the seams,
We know,
We’re not what we’ve seen.

- Marchin On, OneRepublic
We’re not what we’ve seen, we’re not who we were.
We’re a new creation in Him.

Dying in Dreams

Firstly, I’m not suicidal. Don’t worry, it’s just a random thought that I’ve been wondering – Do we die in dreams? No, its not those 3rd person scenes where you see yourself dead in a coffin but  one where you are in your own shoes, experiencing movement, emotions and then death.
Random, I know. But this [...]

Here

I realized problems follow you into new seasons.
Problems wont let go of you, you let go of them… and believe
I’ve been in Singapore for over a week and its been awesome. I attended GenRev service for the very first time and attended what I believe to be one of the BEST services of the year [...]

Worried No More

” …how people often start together but slowly drift into their separate ways.”
- Makoto Shinkai, 5 centimeters per second

I am was worried that somehow we would drift apart, into our separate ways. The past months were better than awesome because of you, but its no longer May and we’re no longer in Switzerland.
I know my [...]

Take a Breather

In the midst of
endeavouring to complete that 12,000 word document,
attempting to pack 40+ kg of luggage into 2 suitcases,
planning for the awesome times ahead with Jie in Singapore,
and trying to make sense of it all…
I’m losing my appetite, my sleep, my focus.
My thoughts are everywhere…
Family, Jie, Birthday, Singapore, Church, Dissertation…
*Take A Breather*
that was the first [...]

Homeward Bound

The semester’s been over for half a week now, and it ended with a HUGE bang!
Jie received her much deserved honours and best academic award, and for whatever reason I am still extremely thrilled for her.
I’m sitting on a reclining chair in a 600 Euro per week apartment. The place is awesome but not so [...]

The Blunder

I just realized I made a big blunder… something that may literally co$t me quite a bit.
Punched the door, *argh-ed*, *sigh-ed*, uttered curses, stooped head.
I did what I could to rectify the problem, what happens next is out of my control.
To worry, to whine, to blame, to dwell OR not to?
It’s not the end of [...]

Ending with a Bang

A number of posts back I was writing about the “Next Semester“… and now the semester’s coming to an end.
I’ve reached the final week of BA with 1 more report to go and a dissertation to complete in the next one and a half months. I’m excited that the semester’s coming to an end, but [...]

Dried Strawberries

Went to the Flon Market in Lausanne with Jie yesterday.
I’m not a fan of European markets cause  I always get the perception its pretty much the same as a ‘pasar malam’ back home, only cleaner and minus the good food. Neither am I a fan of dried nuts and fruits, thinking its bird food. 
The Flon [...]

Love Thy Neighbour

I love Singapore. There’s no surprise about that. My plan after graduation would be to ’settle down’ (get a job, get a place) in Singapore and apply for Permanent Residency. 
This seemingly sudden passion towards Singapore has in fact been growing over the last 3 years. Yes, the mobtv shows, the food, the relatives, the blogs, [...]
