To Just Be.

Because I can get so caught up with the glaring voices of people,
and miss the Only One that truly matters.

Driving Ministry.

So uncle Mikael, one of the leaders of my church walks up to me..

Deadpanned and solemn, he asked,

" Regina, so you want to serve the Lord full time in driving?"

" Huhhhh?" I exclaimed.

" You really want to serve full time in driving? "

"Um okay... *thinking I won't mind fetching people around if that's what he meant*"

He bursts out laughing showing me my driver's license, which I accidentally dropped into the Love Offering Box along with my tithes.

(P/s Eunice Goh actually thought I gave up my studies to serve full time in driving when she overheard him asking me. )

Love Happens

I went into the cinema thinking - not another typical romantic comedy please.

I liked how she scribbled random words behind those paintings. and how he broked down on the stage.

There I was trying to hold my tears back, until I saw you tear!

I left the cinema saying - Definitely not another typical romantic comedy.

" You can't move forward when you've got your eyes stuck on the rear view mirror."
- Love Happens.

Here's one of the songs on the soundtrack.

The Front Room.

So an English Teacher from Ipoh will be sharing the same roof, walking the same stairs as us. I haven't met her yet, mom just told me. But, I'm excited.

Large piles of unwanted textbooks accumulated from my eldest sis to my youngest bro, had to be cleared from the room for our new guest.

I dump them all in a box, ready to be sold. I felt nothing.



' What are all those in the box? You're gonna sell them?' my sis asked.

'Yea.'

'Oh, you sure you want to sell them? I usually don't sell my novels, I keep them.'

' Yea, definitely. I would never sell the books I've read, it's like a relationship has already been formed between the book and me.. But those are just textbooks, I'm detached from them. very detached.'

Talking about books...

Finding The Wind in the Willows in Czip Lee and E.B White's collection on carmen's book shelf this week made me a happy girl, considering MPH dashed my hope prior to that saying that those books were out of print.

Shopping is therapeutic.

and more often than not, no price is too high to pay for a book that can change your life.

Anytime over clothes. Hands down.

First day of the Last Month.

The clouds all fuss and dusty,
spurting its tears,
unabashedly.

Jogging adventures lie in ruins. Well, unless I gung-ho-ly jog with an umbrella..Hm.

There are days when words can only express a feeble part,
of the voiceless longings of my heart.

Today I say,
when I think I know,
I really don't know at all.

The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life.
