I've been living without the internet for the past 2 weeks... Even resorted to humming the dial-up signal into the phone just to see if I could somehow get a connection... But to no avail... *sob sob*

I finally managed to fit everything into my room. Its quite a sight really... With boxes stacked up to the ceiling like towering skyscrapers, clothes heaped up like soaring mountains, and walking space the size of a minuscule shoe box... ^_^

Will be going down to Albany with my God-family next week *YaY!!!* Thank God for them ^_^
It just happened that I wanted to take a drive down by myself to some place I can't pronounce. Been in Perth for a couple of years straight now and it seems like the daily working + studying, 8 to 6 routine is getting to me. So I was quite surprised when my God-mum Julie (yes... Hi mum! ^_^) invited me on a road trip. Your Father hears all your prayers ^_^

Hey Jess... I hope you're enjoying yourself in Costa Rica ^_^ met any cute guys yet? In case you don't know, yes yours truly is your God-brother now. This means that I can officially make you eat your vegetables. *muahahaha*

Hey Qiong Hui! Oops! I mean Rae... Oops! I mean the girl from RJC-whom-I've-known-for-so-many-years-now-who-doesn't-want-to-be-named... I've got your CHRISTMAS CARD!!! So sweet of you... Thank you heaps!

To all the wonderful nurses and staff at Fertility North Clinic... It has been such a wonderful year working with all you amazing ladies. You all have such passion and love for what you do. I feel so fortunate to be part of this wonderful gender-biased family... (yes, I am the only guy there... Why do I always find myself in this situation? ^_^)

To my dear family back home in Singapore... I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
I could write more here about you... But I think that 4 hour conversation we had over the phone kind of summed up what I have to say... But this I can't say enough... I LOVE YOU ALL!!! *muak muak muak* ^_^

To the Lord, my dear Father...
At the lowest point of my life, I asked You for a family... You've blessed me with 3... One in Singapore who loves me like no other, one at work where all the nurses treat me like their son, and just recently my God-family who have graciously accepted me into their lives...

When my finances were low... You solved my problem in a matter of weeks, where it would have taken months...
You've opened up doors for me, and by Your undeserved favor blessed me to be where I am today.
I thank You for making my life story a testimony to Your glory and love... It has been an amazing journey my Friend...
And it will always be...

I can't wait for tomorrow,
For today has been great...
Yesterday was not just a memory,
But an experience that You've made...

You carry me through my troubles,
You hold me through my fears...
You lift me through my worries,
Letting me down only to wipe my tears...

Sometimes I lose sight of You,
But You never leave my side...
Sometimes I don't know who to turn to,
Only to find Your arms open wide...

My Friend, my Father,
My Lord, my God...
Thank You for loving me,
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow... And Forever! Errm... *nod!* ^_^

~ A home that once was... ~

The place where I felt safe in,
months spent keeping it clean...
A home that once was is no more.

Building up the place bit by bit,
till we couldn't find a place to sit...
A home that once was is no more.

Finding my way around in the dark was a piece of cake,
especially when it's 3am and I'm half awake...
A home that once was is no more.

4 people used to live here,
then 3, 2 ,1 and now finally none...
A home that once was is no more.

A house of memories I leave behind,
some of which I really do not mind...
A home that once was is no more.

I sit now in the middle of an empty space,
which used to be my warm and cosy place...
A home that once was is no more.

Echoes ring in my ear as I wish it goodbye;
Closing the door behind me, I let out a big sigh...
A home that once was is no more.

After 2 years, 2 months and 11 days,
we finally decided to go our separate ways...
A home that once was is no more.

I walk next door into a whole new place;
an unfamiliar sight greets my face...
A home that once was, is now gone.

A place that once was,
is my home from now on...

65 boxes... $0

10 of them full of clothes... $0

7 pieces of furniture either larger or heavier than me... $1400

5 piles of lecture notes that i can't bear to throw away... $0

2 days to move out...

1 room to fit everything in... $70

Just moving next door, 5 steps away... Priceless.
