i'm finally well enough to be back at macritchie last saturday! (:

it was awesome paddling down the lane in my T1 again (though my arms already feel like dying before i even reach 500m mark!), it was nice talking over waters with dear yanhan and yimtong (though they were on stingray and had to pause countless times to wait for me! haha), and seeing the juniors training hard was truly comforting.

being happy simply because the waters and glide felt all too familiar.

team dinner at pepper lunch suntec before hopping over to swensens for our chocolatey dessert (yimtong's call! haha) pics from yihang's cam!

cookie summit
sticky chewy chocolate
and us! (lihuiiii, better join us the next time round alright!!)

interview chatters, application updates, classroom'joy and woes' for our ms lim, and i cant help laughing at yimtong's diving destiny with rimmel! i jussssst love my team!

im now indulging in the wave of relief after all the porfolio submission and interviews. it's a joy to know that friends have gotten into their desired courses and uni! but if you're still waiting for results, you have my company! (:

You've led me thus far, and now I'm leaving it all into Your sovereign hands;

the upcoming two weekends' gonna a be a tough ride, but knowing that God's just by my side is the best comfort ever (:

"Have I told you about the tension of opposites?" he says.

The tension of opposites?

"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldnt. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted"

"A tension of opposites, like a pull on the rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle"

Sounds like a wrestling match, I say.

"A wrestling match" He laughs.
"Yes, you could describe life that way"

So which side wins, I ask.

"Which side wins?"
He smiles at me, the crinkled eyes, the crooked teeth.

"Love wins. Love always wins"

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! though a little belated.

It's indeed weird not to have flowers, chocolates, sweets, little notes and all shades of pink strewn within a diameter of your eyes, unlike past years of valentine's days in schools had been.

Maybe it's been destined that my vday's not to fall on february the fourteenth too, not that he's confined in army, but i was confined sadly, at home. still wondering of why the likes for friday or saturday night, haha well, your command, and I know somehow that the wait's going to be worthwhile (:

I am so relieved Im well enough again to face the computer screen and not have that shivers of cold wrapping around me. Monthly fevers really get on my nerves, big time. So much that i detest the sight of the ever familiar pink paracetamol pills, pink cough syrup and whatever antibiotics i had to swallow to drive the discomfort away.

Sorry mel, i cant make it on water again today cos of the stupid fever ): but I am determined to be back at macritchie, at least 1st march.the juniors' picture at xinyi's blog seems to tell me that i just have to paddle and feel the waters once more, and that canoe's been left out of me a little far too long.

Anyway, talking to tiffany on the line tonight just made my day (:
thank you best friend.
