Mochi Mochi

I 'stole' this from a friend's website, who is into making Japanese mochi, or Daifuku, at the moment. That's the cross-section of one.

Blessing in Disguise

Sometimes change is inevitable.
With every ending comes a new beginning.

I don't really believe in coincidences. I believe that there is a reason for the things that happened in our lives, just that we might not know it when it occured. Just like what happened today. Guess it really was a blessing in disguise as it helped me to realise that it really is time to move on.

I had learnt much too during the past 13 years that I've been there. At least it had helped laid the foundation for me, which was perhaps what I needed at that time. Though there were certain unpleasant incidents, they had also helped me discover more about human nature and in the process, more about myself as well. As usual, on hindsight, there were so many things that I could have done better but I supposed there's no point harping on that now. If nothing else, at least I had accepted Christ then.

Now, it's time to move on to another level; on to establishing deeper relationships. If I remained in my comfort zone, I will never do that. A few months ago, I thought I could start anew in the same old place. But the place isn't that big, and I ended up meeting the same people again.

she asked me how it went.

i told her i don't know and that they'll get back to me

then she told me to pray about where God wants me to go

God is telling me to leave......

Commencement 2007

I attended Ting's and Jo's commencement ceremony on Thursday. It was held at NUS University Cultural Centre. I remembered the last time I went back to NUS was last year, for my own commencement ceremony. Also saw some familiar faces. People who had graduated or were graduating this year. I guess it goes without saying that I am getting older now. Anyway, we also took quite a bit of photos since we were not sure when we would go back to NUS again, if ever.

Me with Jo. My hair's longer than hers now. Hehe.

Me with Ting, and her nice sunflower =)

I think I had blogged sometime last year about how photos helped us to remember and recall events that had past. But, I'm also beginning to wonder about the validity of photos. After all, photos are rather two dimensional. As in, they only showed one side of the story most of the time; what is reflected on the photos largely depended on how the photographer took the photos in the first place. And aren't people almost always smiling when taking photos?

Perhaps at times, the best memories are the ones that we kept in our hearts.
