bye elliot, hello amy week.

finally the long wait paid off.

thought i'd be over the moon but thank God that nearer the later stage of the wait, i learnt how to enjoy without the things i never thought i could do without. learning the art of rejoicing in those circumstances was no easy feat. i'm just praying for a smooth transition now.

and i celebrated daily (well, almost) just counting the true blessings and being out of the previous difficult season. with the help of many many lovely souls that God has so graciously blessed me with.

"in Your hands, for every storm there's a reason,
in Your hands, there's a time for every season
though tears may fall,
You'll hold me close,
love me through it all
in Your hands"

**

really missing a few friends whom i don't get to see thanks to busy schedules, distance and reasons.

i miss just hanging out, long conversations etc because i don't think i can find anyone else in the world who bothers to be my friend even when you guys understand me the way you do.

i think nothing in this world beats fellowship. not just companionship and thats what i've been craving. i'd gladly trade my favorite tv programmes for a phonecall from a friend. (ok, tv is a big sacrifice to MEE) i've always maintained that if i ever wanted just empty companionship without a deep connection, i'd get it in a crowded peak hour train.

and i've been there whereby i really lost a friend for good. and i know how the ache in your heart never really goes away every time the memory surfaces.

i've learnt how to smile at the memories and not cry over spilt milk.

my friends are few but very precious. Jesus, being the most precious.
