yea i sure can feel the love, a nice, heart-warming feeling exuded as a result of a 2 day 1 night retreat at nacli with a bunch of friends that i haven't met in a while :)

learning about the characteristics of birds like doves, peacocks, hawks and owls, chatting at west coast park into the wee hours of the morning, reliving childhood memories by playing at various items in the playground and then some more soul-sharing while hair-drying, made sleeping a pretty low priority on the agenda this weekend :) and this after a long and tiring 2 weeks too!

*grin* this probably explains why i conked out until dinner the moment i reached home and showered, and conked out once again 2 hours after dinner :) but i had fun, and the smiles on my face lasted even until today :) *yay for bv oeeiii*

a personal take-away from this retreat:

"sometimes something you treasure,
may leave you feeling empty and unsure,
but go ahead and love anyway"

thank God it's Friday! :)

the weekend has never felt more welcome, it has been a tiring past 2 weeks! tiring not in a bad way because i wanted to do the stuff that i was involved in, and was happy doing it, but i am after all still human, and it has made me physically worn out :(

of course it also meant that i wasn't able to do other stuff that i wanted to do, like help friends out at the points of light thingey and stuff :( but i guess, on hindsight, i am glad that in some small way or other, each and every time, i was, to a certain extent, able to help pick up a starfish and fling it back into the ocean along the way ... and seeing those starfish glisten in the shimmering blue sea, with a chance of survival once again, really made all the tiring long days and filled up weekends worthwhile =p

so i'm just here to thank God that it's Friday, and for a well-planned strategy of rest after a hard week's of work that He gave us :) it's really amazing how He knew and knows that we need rest, and how He just provides for our every need :)

looking forward to the Lakehouse in just a few hours and maybe a good dinner in just a while, toodles! :)

*yay* it's friday!!! *dances off*

when i look at your face
that amused look in your eyes
the occasional grin
the comforting smile
strikes a chord in my heart

when i listen to your voice
that calm and reassuring tenor
the occasional quips
the heartwarming tales
tug gently at my heartstrings

always ready to listen
ever willing to share
a friend indeed,
albeit new-found,
beyond any compare

thank you, my friend, though you know not what i write, and you know not where i write, yet you are always comforting me and brightening my day with your very presence :) can't imagine the days going by without you...
