tuned to: imagine me without you - jaci velasquez
my hol's been uneventful. on monday, i slept till 4 30 pm! am i the sleeping beauty or wut. and today, my poor darling lucky went to the vet! (courtesy of a wonderful cg leader's help) he kept licking his paw for 2 days or so. the vet shaved off all the hair on that paw & the skin was really red & bruised. according to the vet, he kept biting his own paw till it became really bad. now he has to wear the collar that is like a lampshade. (no idea what you actually call it) with that thingy around his head, he keeps banging into things as he walks! sighh. my poor dog. :(
well time waits for no man, and now it's time to get some rest. zzz...

the mundaneity of life strikes once in a while.
a 16 year old boy dies inexplicably from dengue fever- a bright future dimmed & snuffed out without warning.
the military in Thailand wrests control over the country (sneaky indeed, since Thaksin was out of town).
the IMF/ WB meetings are feverishly covered & devoured by all us simple folk in singapura.
and on and on we go.

for nothing more.
there is a certain poignancy that exists in this space i inhabit.
can't explain it much; maybe it's the rain, or the lone train rides to & from boonlay that provide me with time for a re-evaluation of myself, my ministry, my actions, and more.
i am faced with the idea that things could've been different had i chosen the other option in the different situations i was in. yes, maybe there is a hint of regret in there. is where i am now part of God's design? i question sometimes. and i guess the answer is simply that, all the things that have happened to me so far this year were to prepare me for nothing more than to draw nearer to Him. i am a captivating work in progress, still being perfected, chided, disciplined, by my Maker.
onward to perfection.

There is a moment
when the familiar becomes lost
and I am trying to find it.
It should be a gradual
process, the loosening of leaves
from the fold of bark. Instead
there is a clear point
of divide, between what is
and what you have known
- an excerpt from "There Is A Moment" by Alvin Pang.

Lord,
grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
