time is in His hands
Psalm 56:11
In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can man do unto me?
So talking about the Social pressures i face (now it has become a monthly thing and not just a bi-yearly tri-yearly thing with all these weddings).....
Yes, what can man do to me?
Talk about me? Ok........so if they want to talk, they can talk. No problem at all. (eye-roll).
Make fun of me? Ok......at least it makes people happy for the moment to laugh.

double love
Yes not one love but double the love this week.
Or rather, this day.
Two of my good male buddies whom i am quite good friends with since university days got married - yes on the same day. And no, not to each other. But to TWO DIFFERENT girls.
Hahaha. These two ladies are not in our usual circle of friends but these two couples found each other....through two different ways. (One thru SDU's organised overseas tour, one through Bible school) Which got me pondering on the HOWs i should or should not meet someone. Is that really important? I wonder. I guess somehow it is a little. But more importantly is to marry good people. and make sure there's love.
And alas. this week i worked only one day in my part time job so i had a bit more time to recuperate or catch up on sleep etc. Sometimes i keep asking my heart if my motives are really pure and so good after all. The heart can be deceitful in certain circumstances or at your weak points.
Other than Vday this week, 2 weddings on the same day today and my encounter with two slightly interesting people (but not really), this week was stably steady. As for job its not too bad. Oh yah regret eating too much as the 8 course dinner was soo good. Next time, hold your weddings at Peony Jade at Keppel Club. Spacious club as its slightly older....quality food.
And oh about my love life. I will seek impartial people who are non discouraging to get advice. Not that i want them to agree with me. but at least they should be more kind and loving.

not complicated this time round
Glad i used my brain instead of my heart this time.
Always use your brain to handle the heart....it really helps.
Proverbs 4:23
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
Proverbs 4:22-24 (in Context) Proverbs 4 (Whole Chapter)
Guarding your heart includes doing things that will not confuse yourself.
i met a friend who had been undergoing chemotherapy for the past few months. since september. she was very upset and frustrated about peoplea around not seeming to care.
And i was telling her, complaining changes nothing in fact it makes yourself feel worse. trust me. or try it yourself. The best method and way and solution is really simply to......
Ask for change in situations and people through God by prayer.
Genesis 25:21
Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was childless. The LORD answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant.
Genesis 25:20-22
1 Chronicles 5:20
They were helped in fighting them, and God delivered the Hagrites and all their allies into their hands, because they cried out to him during the battle. He answered their prayers, because they trusted in him.
Job 42:9
So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the LORD told them; and the LORD accepted Job’s prayer.
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails.
Thats the big difference between love and euphoria, love and infatuation, love and passion....the list goes on...

the week's fatigue
the only main thing i struggled with this week, thankfully was physical tiredness. and mental tiredness on wed cos of lack of sleep night before and the intense preparation of monthly reports at work. the other things weren't so bad.
