there is a bouncy castle outside my window and the whirring sound from the generator is slowly driving me mad. i am staring at the books in front of me, lines and lines of facts to be absorbed into my brain but i am almost giving up. it's sunny today, perfect for a barbecue, someone's turning 21 in this student village i live in and her friends are here to celebrate her birthday.

it's may day today. i want to go out and dance with the wind, feel the breeze touch my skin and get some earth between my toes. i want to disengage with all this medicine ( it can only do so much for you) and celebrate life- being alive. i'm alive and well, Your Spirit is within me..

end of.

sudden realisation that it's five past four in the afternoon and time is running out.

give thanks to the Lord our God and King, His love endures forever.

I thank God for my favourite things:

#1 a warm room with a nice comfy bed to rest and snuggle up after a tiring day at work.

#2 good hearty meals that i can enjoy preparing and eating.

#3 my family in God whom I can share life with, encourage, listen and fellowship with.

#4 a laptop and technology which I can use to communicate with my family back in Malaysia, to surf the internet and widen my horizons on the world of travel, food and culture (three of my favourite topics!)

God, I thank you for all that You have done for me, I bless you and praise You for You are indeed a good God, who only desires to give good gifts to Your beloved children.

In every season, You are there.

Surely there is none like You.

God, I pray that for every soul out there that is searching for the truth, they will find You-the way, the truth and the life, and the truth will set them free. Amen.
