I dunno what to say and how much to read into this.
Is it really a coincidence or was it pre-meditated?
Trying not to think too much about it but it's so so hard.
Sigh....
What I read in a book last night gave me some encouragement. Helps me to focus.
I went to bed feeling slightly better.
Stinks...disappointment can really strip all your emotional and mental strength just like that.
Why so downcast, o my soul? Put your hope in Him.

More Than Enough
Took a bus to work from HV this morning. My first! Oh yes...I decide to stay in HV cos thought it was too much trouble to pack and lug all my stuff to my parents' place. I also reckon I won't be able to go to sleep in a unfamiliar environment. The last time I slept over at my parent's place (the two nights leading to my wedding day), I remembered staring at the ceiling for two nights. Not sure it was due to the unfamiliar place or the wedding jitters.
W gave me direction and the bus numbers to take. I had to be in Y this morninmg. I was to wait for bus 48 from my downstairs, alight at Farrer Road and take bus 855. He also warned me that the interval for bus 48 is 20mins.
With a quick good-bye to my MIL, I went down at 8:10am. Saw many people at the bus stop. Was quite an interesting sight cos everyone is staring very hard at the same direction, at the bend, hoping that the next bus that peeped out from the corner is their bus. You know what, the first bus that came was bus 48! I almost shouted out "Thank you, Jesus! Muack....muack!"
I alighted at Farrer Road. Within like a minute, bus 855 showed up. This is like the BEST bus journey that I ever had!
I felt as if God was encouraging me this morning. Lifting my spirit up cos I went to bed with a very heavy heart last night. There was a little unpleasant incident that happened on my way back from the meeting. I was literally on the phone with different people for a total period of an hour or so over this very small matter. I felt this person has over-reacted. It was really unecessary. I thought through, checked my heart, prayed and committed the whole matter to God.
The incident still comes to my mind every now and then. But I know I can't do much about it...sigh
Then at work, I was needing to make 80 copies of a certain document. I found this loose stack of bright blue coloured paper, threw them into copier paper tray and started running the copies. Halfway through , I wondered if the stack of coloured papers were sufficient and said a quick prayer that they will be 'more than enough'. Guess what happened? The copier printed all my 80 copies and when I opened the tray to take out the rest of the coloured paper, there was only 1 piece left. Then I heard God saying, "Didn't you pray that you will have more than enough?"
YES!!....I know God will be 'more than enough'. His grace will be 'more than enough'. He is my All in all....always!

Refuge in P....
I found refuge finally....
I was behaving so cranky in the office today and my collegues were all wondering why.
Then I realise why.
Cos the thought of having to be home alone with my MIL for 3 days is making me all jittery.
Especially not after how she responded (or should I say how she did not respond) this morning.
At 4pm, I finally made up my mind. I made a couple of smses and one phone call to my mom.
Conclusion : I will be going over to P to stay with my parents for 3 days.
Yeah...Yeah...Yeah!!!!!
I'm so happy, so very happy that I am going back to P and not HV. Yahoo!!
p.s. Then again....kind of a sad life huh?

Single for 3 days!
W will be away in Bintan for some company function for 3 days this week.
So I will be single again!
I was thinking to myself yesterday where I can bunk over for the 2 nights. I love staying over once in a while at some friend's place. Especially those with kids. Just love to see the kids' sleepy faces when they get up in the morning. But the idea seems abit weird now. Not sure why...ha!
Something unpleasant happened yesterday. On one hand, I wished it didn't happened. On the other, I'm glad it did cos it's a just matter of time that something like this would happened. I believe this help put things out in the open and make everyone more aware of their boundaries.
My advice to all those going-to-get-married folks out there...DO NOT stay with your in-law!!
There is a lot of sense why the B says "leave and cleave".
Having the emotional as well as the physical distance is important.
I rather maintain the physical distance and keep the relationship amicable than to stay together and have so much conflicts and heartaches. It's just not healthy for married couple.
Well....let's see how things go.
