Of goodbyes, and (hopes for) renewal
Ray and I caught the midnight screening of Body 19 last night. It was so scary that Ray was hiding behind his jacket, shrieking now and then, while I tried to calm him by patting his head. Fine, it was the other way round- I WAS SO FREAKED OUT and hiding behind Ray's jacket. But I must say, it wasn't the typical freak and scream at random drama mama moments kind of horror, quite an engaging plot, and surprising.
Post movie, we cabbed down to Changi Airport, three hours ahead of time to see Tim off on his flight to Hawaii. As I slept on the Delifrance couch in a most unglamarous fashion, Ray tapped away at my laptop trying to master 02 jam (google it, and download it to play, it's addictive!)
Ironic. One of the last times I saw or said more than a ten words to Tim was exactly a year ago, at the same old Changi airport, when he came to send me off on my way to New York City. One year has passed, so many things has changed, so many things I would like to change. But anyway, Tim is so nice, and 'other regarding', as usual. It was great to see him, give him his gift... and I felt quite bad for not meeting up all these while when I was back in Singapore. Enjoy yourself Tim. =)
Ray and I then spent an hour over a good coffee bean breakfast (bad coffee), and had an insightful conversation on religion.
... incidentally, sermon at EN dealt with similar issues which Ray and I tried to thrash out. So, even more food for thought. I joined Leo for LifeGroup today, and we discussed gifts, visions and goals. (worldy and godly ones) Made me think a lot more about where I think i'd like to be heading, for the year at least.

Headed down town to meet Nicholas before seeing Winston off at the airport. (Yes, my second trip there in a day.) Got Winston a pair of purple chopsticks, pink tissue which says stuff liek 'Kate Spoilt', along with a whole lot of vitamins and flu remedies (Nic was convinced he would fall sick the moment he was exposed to the Swedish wind or something.) Got my ears pierced (7th earhole, I have no idea why I do this to myself, really.) before walking round and round Far East and yakking. A good yak it was, helped me put more stuff into perspective.
And yes, seeing Winston off. The friend with all the funny ideas and antics, but incredibly nice and adorable.
I have a challenge coming up for the next week, right before school begins. I need a miracle, right now.
