Genesis 22:1-14

i'll miss...

well, m glad i held back my tears at the airport as i saw shelia & alex off this evening. honestly, i've been kinda dreading this day - when they both leave - cos i'd be all alone...and m feeling quite afraid and lonely now. i'll miss sharing this big bed with my dear friend shelia, i'll miss the talking & laughing just before we fall asleep, i'll miss watching dvds late into the night with them, waiting for our turns to use the bathroom each night, taking the 2 dogs out for a walk, coffee, or a bite...looking really stupid & laughing at ourselves as we command the dogs to sit, come back, or struggle with them (the dogs) as we cross the roads, eating at the pasta cafe just 1min's walk away, the 'squabblings'...hais. altho i didn't want to admit it...i really wished (pretty badly) tt they'd extend their stay here...a whole lot of other things i'll miss doing with them, but it wouldn't bring them back.

much has happened too. good and bad. got news yesterday tt mom's in hospital with a lung infection, dad got mad at me becos he couldn't get me on my hp, cos i left it up on the 3rd floor while i was baking downstairs & helping sis pat prepare for dinner to thank the americans from navigators. but thank God mom's fine, just needs to rest in hospital so she'll recover well. was really hurt when dad scolded me becos i didn't expect anybody to call & i wasn't given a chance to explain...but again, i guess i'll try to be understanding and tell myself tt he got worked up becos he was anxious over mommy.

anyway, thank God for a meaningful dinner with the americans from navigators last night. bro nat & sis pat had invited them over for dinner to thank them for the time they've invested in helping bro nat with his eng classes & building bridges with the thai students. it was a blessed time of fellowship as we sang songs of praises to the same God tt we worship, and as they shared what they learnt, their thoughts and thanksgivings...well, thank God for a day well-spent.

also...thank God for journeying mercies upon alex & shelia. just got smses from the both of them tt they've arrived safely. pls pray for alex, who left his haversack at the airport just now. for shelia, to spend her last week wisely before sch starts...and for me too...tt God would give me courage as i stay here alone (well, without my friends) for the next month or so...
