apologies that i haven't blogged in.... forever. my week has been extremely eventful and i'm glad for everything that has happened :')

on thurs, cleo and mela celebrated my belated birthday for me, which was super sweet. i appreciate them so much, and i really love my secondary school mates. no one can compare to 4e2.. they're just different. they make you feel so comfortable, so accepted, and they love you back, even if you don't deserve it. i'm so... touched. + cleo baked tiramisu (which failed visually but it's beyond delicious in taste) and that was the sweetest thing anyone has done for me. i can imagine what my life will be if i've not been in e2.. it's going to be very sad hahaha.

on fri, i met up with jianying and may to just chill around town and we had din tai fung for dinner!! seriously i love xiao long baos so much. like SO MUCH. and the vinegar vegetables thingy, the bomb i tell you. and we had such a fun time just enjoying the company of each other. then brendy joined us after awhile and we just walked around pretty aimlessly.. but it was a great catch up<3

then on sat, i met up with most of my e2 lovelies, which was in-cre-di-ble. sometimes i think i'm too attached to my e2 friends that i'm not very receptive about having more people in my life. apart from my churchies (oh yes and i went for service!!) of course because they are just such sweethearts. i like hugging my friends.

but of course there are people here and there from all over singapore (or not) that i still hold very dear to me. i've been so blessed with so many amazing friends..

"Friends are God's way of showing His love." thank you Lord.

then just today, like a few hours ago, i went for standard chart marathon.. it was only 5k though but i'm so glad that i conquered it despite myself being ill. wanted to bring down my best race time by 5min but ended up taking a minute more this time round. oh well. but my "gang" was so cute yesterday when they tried persuading me to skip my run tomorrow because they were worried i might faint or something<3

motivation during the marathon: for every second i run (instead of walk), i am a moment faster. i don't know if that makes sense.. but it really kept me going. and i'm proud of my entire family because we all completed the race, and that is very accomplishing and heartwarming.

this is a long post with no pictures yes SIAN but never mind.. i'm drowned in gratefulness for anything and everything that God has granted me with :')
