Just got off the phone with my family:) Talking to them somehow makes me feel happy, wistful, thoughtful and sad all at the same time..This time last week I was at home packing my suitcase to come back here. But like my mom said, "1 week down, 7 left to go." I remember when I first got here in the beginning of the year, lynn told me (via email) that it wasn’t too healthy to think of home so much. She said I sounded too homesick for my own good. It was best to just appreciate what I have at the moment and to enjoy the life I have here to the fullest. Thanks lynn:) I’ll keep that in mind:)

This is the day to count your blessings. If you have faith, family and friends, you are very wealthy. This is God's message to me today:) A spanish-sounding father held mass today..He gave a really good sermon:) I admire the religious people at creston for their faith. Being able to believe in something so strongly..sometimes it scares me, yet sometimes I marvel at it. Was talking to Mio before mass..haha she is so funny. She's half-japanese-half-thai, and Sunita was asking her about the way japanese greet one another by bowing. Wouldn't it be tiring to have to greet and bow to a whole roomful of people? Haha Mio said that by rights they should bow all the way over (ninety degrees) and yeah it was pretty tiring. But she usually just gives a little bow cos anyway the other person bowing can’t see how far she bows:) ok anyway, I shouldn’t digress.

I would like to dedicate my post today to my favourite pair of twins:) Once upon a time, there lived a pair of twins. They lived next to another one of my favourite people; this funny girl who loved dots and ice cream. They ended up going to RJC, where they met and befriended me. I recall my first few meetings with them occurred during band practice, when we would escape from the freezing cold air conditioning of the band room. At first I was worried that being the blur person I am, I wouldn't be able to tell them apart. But I eventually learnt how individualistic they were, albeit they were similar in lovable personality:) Through time, Christmas tree-decorating sessions and popiah parties, I learnt what wonderful people they were. Today we literally live half a world away and half a day apart. Though I now hardly ever get to talk to them or see them, they still remain close to my heart and I continue to pray for them:) Nadine, take care. Nicole, stay strong dear:) You guys will be in my prayers:) Love you both:)

Jing: hey jing!haha was reading your blog the other day..wanted to tag but something wrong with my college computer :P bleah. Oh well. I shall continue to lurk around:)
