In Singapore

I am back to blogging in Ji's room. Everything about this hideout feels sacramental to me.

Missing my husband, definitely. He didn't answer my calls *sobs* ;) - I am now wondering if I had dialled the wrong number. But oh well... better luck tomorrow.

I look forward to lots of good, refreshing moments with God and my dear friends. I think when I mentioned that I was coming to Singapore, everyone expected that I was going on a shopping trip. Well, the truth be told, I wish I weren't so kiam siap (stingy in Hokkien). And so, I am definitely not here to shop. Rather, I would like to spend time alone... away from all the stresses of my life in Penang (and a little ironically, being surrounded by the stressed people of Singapore) to have my heart checked and recuperate. I don't need serene mountains or pristine beaches to recuperate. Strangely, I need people. Especially unknown people...who mill around unfamiliar settings (to me). All sorts - so that I can observe, learn and illustrate my sermons to self. Such sermons are ultimately how God deals with the many conflicted knots in my life. I only preach them because God has spoken.

Meeting Aunty May Ling tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
