Had a great dinner, or rather, CNY dinner with both families dining at Todak.

Yeap.

It's been like ten years since we've been there and thank goodness the place still looks the same, feel the same and unfortunately smells the same.

The sad thing was that the food was less appealing than it previously was, and *sigh* that was a disappointment.

Oh well.

At least the best thing was being back here in Malaysia , enjoying way better food and yes, great company too.
The fantastic four, my, my.

We're still so totally awesome.

We might have grown up, and hopefully mature but we still share the same things, the funny and lame jokes, the stories and heartaches and the joy of being the best of family.


That's, totally, awesome.

So it's 20 days more till the return to more studies and friends and the fickle-minded weather that leaves me weirder than ever.
Sounds good, and bad.

The mind gets bogged down from time to time when I start planning and deciding stuff, especially since it's year two, and I suspect that I'm the only Asian doing Lit.

It gets boring after some time, them lectures, with no friends there to fool around.

But I'm getting ahead of myself, who knows, friends come in all shapes and sizes,
And yes, nationality.
I just have to smile more and try not to dress like I've just woken up from bed.

=]

So storms come, so thunders sound, so the house crashes but then again the pillars still stand.
It beats me.
That said,

Understanding is not a prerequisite for faith.

Faith after all, is taking the unknown step, knowing that you're walking on the right path.
Even when it seems that all is lost, and yes, even when hope seems to have taken flight, leaving you to fend off mysterious creatures in the valley.

The valley.
Confusing indeed.

This seems harder as days go by, and sometimes the temptation to just throw in the towel and let oneself slide into oblivion can be overpowering.
But still,

No.

There's only one life to live, and more chances to shine.
Only those who have completely given up the self within them have the capacity to truly live.
After all,

Living for oneself is a destructive cycle.

So here's my chance to get out of this cycle.
Choice, it's still about choice.
And hopefully,

This time, my choice is right.

The red pill is bitter, it disrupts all the noise that's been creating static in the airwaves,
It pushes and pulls.
It kills the very illusions that I've grown accustomed to.

Still,

I've chosen, to leave my pod, taking the red pill.
I want to see how deep the rabbit hole is, and yes,
To see the truth as it is.





The truth is unnerving,
And yes,

The rabbit hole, is deep indeed.

"Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD and whose trust is the LORD."

- Jeremiah 17:7



24 days left.
I'd better make the most of it.
=]



I just haven't met you yet.
And let's keep it that way.
=]

Remain - Starfield



Defender of this heart
You loved me from the start
You never change

Through the highs and lows
As seasons come and go
You never fail

Day after day
Your love will remain
Faithful and true
You are good


You are God with us
You're victorious
You are strong and mighty to save
For Your word stands true
There is none like You
And when all else fades
You remain

When troubles come my way
You guide and You sustain
Lead me, I pray

Forever You will be
The great eternal King
Now and always

Day after day
Your love will remain
Faithful and true
You are good, you are good



When all else fades
You remain



Cause' day after day
You never change
Day after day
You are the same
Day after day



You remain.

One month minus a day to go before the imminent return to Hobart.
Whoa.
What a year ahead, what things to do and stuff to consider and such.




You, are my strength.




After everything,
Nuff' said.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid: do not be discouraged, for God is with you wherever you go.

- Joshua 1:9






Another crazy year ahead, here goes.

Alrighty, 12/13.
