You are my hiding place, You always feel my heart with songs of deliverance, Whenever I'm afriad, I will trust in You.... I will trust in You.... Let the weak say I am strong, In the strength of the Lord, I WILL TRUST IN YOU
Days, months, years has passed but I still miss you more than ever. Everytime when there's a family gathering I always remember you and miss your presence..... I cried last year at Uncle Johnson's wedding because I really wished that you were there.... I shed some tears tonight when my sis said that she wished that you were here tonight.... We really miss you! I miss your laughter, your cooking and just you because you have always reassured us that everything is going to be alright. I miss just being able to hold you and hug you and to hold your hand and walk side by side. I miss having sleepovers in your room and playing cards with you until really late at night. I miss driving you around in my car. I miss going out shopping with you. I miss having long walks with you and telling you my deepest dreams.... knowing that you are always there for me, my pillar of strength and comfort. Life has never been the same since you left us and I really miss you. You are now in the arms of God in a place where there's no pain or sorrow. I thank God for giving me a grandma like you.... there's nothing more a granddaughter could ask for. You will always have a special place in my heart.... forever I'll remember your smile. My kind, loving and graceful grandmother. Love you forever and ever.
IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY DEAR GRANDMOTHER
I lost a grandma with a heart of gold Who was more to me than wealth untold Without farewell she fell asleep With only memories for me to keep I have lost, but God has gained One of the best grandmas the world contained Her heart was the truest in all the world Her love the best to recall For none of earth can take her place She is still the dearest grandma of all If she could have spoken before she died, These are the words she would have replied This life for me has truly passed I've loved you to the very last Weep not for me But courage take And love each other For my sake.
Since Wednesday night most of my nights back from work, I"ll be stuck on my comp... why? coz my sis burnt this jap series called 'Beautiful Life' for me. It has Kimura Takuya which is the guy that used to model for Levi's engineering jeans b'fore.. the leng chai... Anyways I started watching it on Wed night and suddenly it reminded me of my uni days when I used to be such a jap series junkie with my housemate then. We used to stay up late and watch disc by disc and end up crying and laughing together. This time due to work commitments I had to spread out and watch all 11 episodes in 4 nights and tonight I finally finished watching it! Hahahaha I was all composed throughout the first 10 episodes but then I ended up crying while watching the last episode. It was so sad but at the same time I was laughing at myself coz I was crying at a show. Anyways enough of all these emo stuff.
Guess what!?!?!?!?!?! British guy is back!!!!!! argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He came in to work yesterday and asked to have shifts at the restaurant *sigh* After 3 weeks of peace now I'm stuck back to having an annoying person at work.... (I have to be patient) peoples.... sorry if I complain too much from next week onwards..... heheheheh I have some other stuff to post as well but I need to really sit down and write them and I don't think I'll get it out tonight so till next time.... take care and God Bless!
Just thought I'll pen down what happened to me throughout the whole day.... it has certainly been an eventful one... with ups and downs
Morning: Woke up and took Sue Anne for exams..... Didn't realise that the stewpid traffic was so horrible. After that went to work and was just busy the whole time coz thanks to my boss that wasn't helping at all. I was left to set the whole restaurant by myself.... (it's Monday so I have to set the whole restaurant with napkins, knife and fork... and to set the whole restaurant takes about at least 1 hour) And not to forget that there were customers coming in for coffee at the same time.... so it was me having to take coffee orders, make them and send it out to the tables and at the same time trying to get everything done! Luckily Amber came and helped me but even then there was just heaps of stuff to be done... I had a whole pile of cutlery that had to be polished and my boss was no where to be found.... his excuse: I'm really tired and I can't take it anymore... I need to go out for a walk. And with that he left. When he came back, there was still cutlery to be done and I ran out of polished teaspoons and were looking for them and I passed a comment that I needed those spoons. The reply that I received from him was: If I was doing the cutlery I would polish the spoons first. but HELLO!!!!! if I don't polish the knifes and forks first I wouldn't even have enough the set the restaurant and we would not be ready for lunch service! If he were to at least stay and help me do some work I wouldn't have to struggle through! Like as though I wasn't tired as well.... *sigh* Sometimes work can be quite irritating.... it probably is more especially when you're so tired.
After Work:
I went over to the hospital to see Ian. Had some good news that he can now take fluids but not much and his infection is clearing. Praise God for that! Spent a while in the hospital talking to him and left for home to get ready to go out for dinner. Now dinner is a whole new story... it was so funny that I laughed so hard throughout the night and it was such an enjoyable dinner.
Met up with Shaun for dinner as he is leaving for M'sia tomorrow for holidays (how I wished it was me) We went to this restaurant called Pondok Bali which is an Indonesian restaurant.... when we first got there the first thing that Shaun asked me was 'Is Bali in Thailand?' and I cracked up laughing.... I figured that it was because he had an exam today and his brain was left in the exam hall.... After composing ourselves we decided to order our dinner.... half way through the dinner I suddenly stopped and say 'the music is driving me crazy' and then we both cracked up laughing again.... they were playing this really irritating music that repeats itself again and again... and Shaun laughed so hard coz he said that he was thinking exactly the same thing but I said it out first. After laughing and eating in the restaurant for about 1 1/2 hours we decided to go somewhere else for dessert. We ended up having dessert at Spatz... (the place that I don't really like coz of their service) We were shown to this booth which was so small and I started laughing and asked if we could change tables... it was one of those booths that are so intimate that you would actually feel costrophobic. After ordering and finishing our desserts we were talking and then suddenly my phone rang and it was Wilson.... He asked me where I am and stuff and the next thing I know he was actually in Spatz as well with Lok Ing and he heard me talking and it was seriously so funny.... All in all it was such a fun night filled with so much laughter. There were a lot of other funny stories as well but too many to tell. Till next time.... Take care and God bless! :)
So very often we tend to take things for granted and expect things to be what we expect and want it to be. We always look at things and always says 'I could have', 'I should have' and always dwell on the negative side refusing to see the goodness and the other things that come out of a particular situation. Hence we need to constantly remind ourselves to count our blessings. Sometimes I get so consumed in things that I forget to do so as well. If we look at things from different point of views, we would see that the situation that seems so big doesn't seem that big anymore. Throughout the past few weeks I have been learning a lot and God has never failed to show me things that I need to change on and learn from; be it through a situation or people. Sometimes it is really frustrating and irritating but once you let it go it doesn't seem that bad after all. Therefore instead of complaning about things all the time... I am going to try to count my blessings and thank God for everything and every situation that He has placed me in.
