Finally. The exams are over. Well technically speaking they've been over for a week and a half =P Life at home is certainly different. Quiet perhaps, but I like it =) Lately I've been watching a lot of taiwan and hongkong dramas, not to mention High School Musical 3. But sometimes... I just wonder how many of these shows can I take before I implode. Don't get me wrong, these shows are incredibly... *swoons*. It's just that... they lift you up and twirl you into this fantasy of romance and beauty and you start spinning sweet daydreams in your imagination~ Then The End is artistically inscribed on the screen, and you hit reality with a painful thud. And all you're left with is this faint dull ache, wishing that it could all be true.. With every show the ache might just deepen..
Inspired by and dedicated to 2 dear friends:
Redefinition
The intricate line that sets them apart-
the bridge which joins heart to heart
Her voice cries out
“Father…”
Silence richer than the spoken word
Blooms a lone white lily, open to hurt
Louder than a shout
His tear, unshed.
Dare they trespass a plane so narrow
Willfulness unfolding, threatens to grow
All halts at one gentle command
“Wait on Me…”
Comforted, secure to complete the race
Together, separate, imperfect in grace
Patient, unselfish, never failing
Through His Fire
Love, redefined.
The quote I wanted to share the other day:
"Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one's life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one's side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music; perhaps... perhaps... love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath.
~Anne of Avonlea~
Perhaps that's how we should all begin. But not all of us have to end the same way =)
I reread my post dated 21st April 2007. I guess some things just don't change.

Okay I've rambled enough. I'll get to the point of the post today. A simple UPDATE. But since there's so little to tell I'll introduce some of the people who've made all the difference in life in medical school. In chronological order:
At Grace's birthday dinner. Lame King Daniel.
Dearest Sarah.
Jun Yet living his dream. JY do you know we haven't had a photo of just the 2 of us in a long time??
Last day of the semester- my group's theme: Bollywood.
Darling Evonne.
Ex-taiwan-drama-hater Patrik.
Supermodel Samantha.
Guy on the left. Nicholas either we haven't been taking many photos together or they've gone missing. Or maybe we were too lazy to collect. C =)
At the MUMEDS formal dinner. My hot Grace.
Tim =)
Terence and Nicholas' farewell.
Guy from right. Fashion expert Terence. Who both saved and touched me in 2 days consecutively.
Ter I don't have a single photo of us since LAST sem's last day! =(
The spectacular view the night of formal dinner.
There're still some more. But some are camera-shy and some... well... I guess maybe we were too caught up to take any.
OH for my dear far-off friends who don't know, I got JPA. All glory to God.

Moving on. Shows I'm currently watching:
It Started With a Kiss. Yes I am rewatching this. So what? It's soo sweet!
Romantic Princess.
Moonlight Resonance.
Shows I've finished watching:
Speech of Silence.
How I Met Your Mother Season 2.
My heart broke when they broke up. I know some things happen for the best.. I know he eventually meets the mother...
But IT'S STILL HORRIBLE. EVIL SCRIPTWRITER!!!
Thank God for these 2. Still going strong.
Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you through it all
Now won't you promise me (now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing (to keep dancing) wherever we go next
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
*Sighs*
*Slaps self*
WAKE UP!!

Take my love- my God, I pour
At thy feet its treasure store.
~Francis Ridley Havergal~
There is a longing only You can fill
A raging temptest only You can still
My soul is thirsty Lord
To know You as I'm known
Drink from the river
That flows before your throne
Take me deeper
Deeper in love with You
Jesus hold me close in Your embrace
Take me deeper
Deeper than I've ever been before
I just want to love You more and more
How I long to be deeper in love
By all means, take me deeper.
