Ivy's Farewell

My room mate just left Singapore. Tear! Ivy wanted to take a rest from her inconsiderate (I'm already being kind) boss and get married. Sigh! Her prince finally found her and I couldn't have been happier for her. But I'm really going to miss our late night chats, rants about demanding bosses, and raves about shopping and the glittery things we spent our incomes on. Yet, I believe there's a time and season for everything. And the season for love has arrived. Nuks.

Sheryl, Ate Ethel, Sokee and I bid her goodbye last night as we all went all the way to Changi to spend one last time with her. Some of Ivy's friends were also there.

It will sure be going to get a lot lonelier now... I'm looking forward to a new room mate though. Any takers?

Down Moments

Blessed are the moments when I feel discouraged, for I have never been closer to my God as now. I need to stop focusing horizontally - on my self, and really start fixing my eyes upward.

I just received the news - my UBC MBA application was denied. How many nights have I been dreaming about the moment when my 'sack' will become a 'scholarship'? Apparently, I dream too much and too far. So here I am feeling like an utter failure, and apologizing constantly to God and to the mirror for being a disappointment.

Fortunately, I have my podcast to encourage me. There are 3 suggestions by Chuck Swindoll:
1. Claim His strength.
2. Remember your Love.
3. Seek His fullness.

I need to be enveloped with the deep, deep love of Jesus - vast, unmeasured, boundless, free... Right.NOW.
