Far away for far too long
For various reasons, I have not gone to church for the past four weeks. I can't wait to go back this weekend! It feels like I have so much to tell God about....and I want to talk to Him about so many things.
The reason I missed church last week was cuz I spent the weekend in lovely Bintan!!! An awesome trip (:
The ferry there and back gave me nice roller coaster tummy flops. The beach was gorgeous and we got to see it at 1 am and during high tide..we were clad in windbreakers and learnt the constellations with the aid of google astrology maps haha. The darkness and the waves seemed to set the scene for a thundestorm/hurricane! As I was standing on the beach then I learnt anew the meaning of 'Be still and know I am God' and my heart was at peace amidst the chilly surroundings. The second night we didn't sleep at all and managed to catch the sunrise and run on the beach at sunrise and swim after (:
Had my first laser quest and archery experience.... Ate frog's legs after years of abstaining since I last dissected a frog. Saw jellyfish and clams up close!!! (eew but so yummy-the clams). Went to sembung kelong for a seafood dinner. Oh and all 11 of us went for massage! Got to know some friends better, made some new ones and plenty of good conversation (:
Oh and I got to drive the buggy 6 times!!!! :D
Missing it much but I have all these lovely memories :)

Run
Once again, I have the urge to grab my towel and run....to leave this hell behind and run free with the white birds along the first stretch of the path, then the water and occasional boat and the spot with sand under a bridge.....people fishing. The fork between ponggol park and ponggol proper and finally my favorite rest spot on the sit-up bench. Where normally my tears would have been dried by the wind and my heart soothed by nature.
