after being away, i have come to realise many things.
Watched the movie - 2012 today. it's a really good movie. I was so tensed up throughout. Some afterthoughts about the movie..
I think that, at the end of the day, a person who has billions and billions of money is just the same as a poor beggar on the street. We are all equal, don't you think? Does having more money makes you more important than someone who has lesser money? What makes one life more worthy than another? What makes one person more important than another? What do you use to measure the worth of a life? Can you even measure the worth of a person's life? As what one of the main characters said "How do you choose who gets to survive and who don't? Their cheque-book??"
"The moment we stop caring for one another, we lose our humanity."
go catch the movie if you can, it's a really good movie (in my own opinion) (:
ok.. i get the hint God.. 4 times is not a coincidence anymore..
Forgiveness.
12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.Colossian 3: 12-13
I AM SO HAPPY TO BE BACK HOME!!! :D
even happier to see my loved ones. haha. going back to church tdy really feels like im dreaming. cant believe that im back. and the reactions of different people rly makes me want to laugh. some just stared at me with the stun look (i.e. raised eyebrows, eyes big) and took awhile to react, some see me and went "ahhhhhhhhhh" hahahaha. so glad so glad so glad to see my dearest friends again :D
my last night in perth before my summer holidays was really fun. haha. stayed out till 4am before heading home for a short rest and then to the airport. crazy huh, but i really enjoyed my time with PACE friends. they have made my 4 months in perth really enjoyable and fun (:
when i was on the plane, i kept looking at my watch. 1.05pm .. ok, watch movie. movie ended, it was only 2+pm... went to slp and woke up at 3+ .. went back to slp and woke up again, only to realise that 15 mins has passed. haha. you get the gist of my impatience i guess.. haha. and when i saw singapore from the plane, a smile unknowingly creep up my face. and the thought in my head was "im home, im home, im home, im home, im home" (: the feeling i had when i saw my family.. undescribable joy. and tdy, when i saw my dear lovelies in church, super happy (:
now that im back, it's amazing just looking back at the 4 months that passed. how God has brought me through every day. Seriously, without God, without my family and close friends, i don't how i will survive there. not that life there is bad, but you know, the bouts of homesickness, when u face difficulties... yeah. the 4 months in Perth, ive learnt many lessons, gain different perspectives, made new friends there and forge closer bonds with friends here.
im just really really glad to be home (:
looking at this photo makes me smile. the creativity of taking group photo when your friend is away in another country (: haha.
one of them (think it's either terry or zhenliang or cheeping) : let's take group photo!
me: huh?
one of them: ok. esther, smile smile, pose ah.
and then i realised what they meant by taking group photo. hahaha :D
5 more days till i see you all in church!
exactly 7 days from now, this time, i will be in Boon Lay with all my loved ones (ok, almost all my loved ones.. ) and we'll be having dinner together. FACE TO FACE. ican'twait! ican'twait!! ican'twait!!!
i skyped with them for a little while in the afternoon tdy cos my cousin was already at boonlay. the moment we skyped, one of my aunts said "7 more days! 7 more days!" in a loud voice and 7 fingers waving in the air. hehehe. so cute. and my cousin was asking "esther, you know the song 'Nobody' anot?" then i was like "yes.." then my cousin said "when you come out of the arrival gate, you will see your aunties singing that song to you... 'i want nobody nobody but you!~'"-faint- haha :D i love them and miss them to bits!
and then just now, when everyone was already at boonlay, i skyped with them again. then i was just telling them what i am going to do after my last paper.. and i said that i have to also clean up the house before i fly back on saturday.. then they said i can go back and help them to clean their houses.. haha. i'll be a part-time maid with a (almost) business degree :P
