a little notebook to scribble simple thoughts, inspired devotions and deep, quiet laments in.

 

Putting the line in Wrinkle

Sharon, Krista and I were taking a long walk up Royal Parade to Doreen's house for an Annual Dinner 2007 cum birthday celebration.

It was Saturday night and we were having girl-chat all the way. It is truly amazing: we are not the closest of friends though we are well-acquainted enough with each other; yet we can talk non-stop for 45 minutes. The stuff women are made of. Heh, amazing God.

So yeah all of a sudden, out of nowhere popped a couple dressed in their nines, definitely prepared for a posh night-out. The lady had this gorgeous dress. Allow me the indulgence of describing it. It was this soft white affair with delicate straps and which flowed onto an A-line cut just above the knees. There were no prints or patterns save a well-expressed lace-like design that twirled around the hem of the skirt.

So there we were, three girls dressed for a casual party a church friend organised [I was the worse-for-wear in t-shirt, cardigan, slacks and sneakers], making rather audible sounds upon spotting gorgeous dress.

Wah!!! That's a really pretty dress! It looks fantastic!
We did this all the way from 8 metres away till we passed the couple.

And the silly male partner of the lady began to protectively put his arm around her shoulders and say - I know, she is very pretty!

Erm we were talking about the dress. And yes she is attractive. But hey, we're girls, and most absolutely straight!
Oh but if what you really wanted was for us to say your girlfriend is attractive, just be obvious, we would not have declined the invitation. ^^

 
 

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed

Today I had two pieces of sushi for lunch - in typical mutant Aussie fashion (meaning garguantan). I ate away as I watched No Reservations with my friends.

I took, I would roughly guess, nearly an hour if not more to finish them up. I was not even keen on eating up each rice grain.

Losing my appetite?

I pray not. But today is one of those days which is as dreary as the rain-slicked Melbourne outside my apartment.

Usually I love the rain. I find it poetic, beautiful and refreshing, if not a bit inconvenient. Today somehow it is more of the first two - a experiential metaphor for what I'm feeling inside yet inside so awe-inspiring.

Jesus my Lord, I know You are standing next to me in this.
