Trees
They grow, they reach, they yearn to touch the very sky. Basking beneath the warm golden glow of the sun, the light rays are forced to part themselves into little strips that gleam as they caress the ground.
Trees. Not one of them grow the same way. In spring, the flowers bloom and burst like no tomorrow. In summer, they soak, and in autumn, they blush prettily. But in winter, they shrivel up, die, and fall off dramatically to pile up in a small heap beneath the tree. And what is left are the branches, bare and exposed. But ironically, it is now that I can better appreciate the shape of the tree. How every branch and twig grows into the crisp cold air, how they twist and turn, spiralling as they will in any and every direction.
Enough of the gushing, the pictures, they will tell. Just as soon as I return to Singapore to the comfort of my bedroom and computer.

An Interesting Turn of Conversation
To put it shamelessly, I enjoyed myself thoroughly.
*says:
i'll fly over to canada my love
*says:
we shall enjoy our wedded bliss there, far away from prying eyes
God's a creative author says:
yes my love, i shall welcome thee with open arms
*says:
and we shall lie under the stars, soaking in the splendour of the winter night air
God's a creative author says:
sigh
*says:
why dost thou sigh, my love?
God's a creative author says:
i yearn for thee to be by thy side
*says:
thou longst to be by thy side too
*says:
yet leave not thou tomorrow morn?
God's a creative author says:
my physical being perhap may not stay by thy side, but rest assured that my heart doth belong only to thee
Of course, this is all in the name of good fun. Shall I divulge the identity of my secret playmate? Devious, isn't he. Wax, wax, lyrical.

A Vow of Purity
Note: This was taken from my last blog, and the actual date was my 16th birthday, 13th September 2007.
The seriousness of this situation is pretty amusing anyway.But I digress. So on this special day when I turn sixteen (truthfully speaking, I don't feel very different), I have decided to take a purity vow.
No, I am not about to register in a nunnery and declare myself celibate. I just mean that when I lose my first kiss, it will be at my wedding. Ah yes, dramatic is it not? But we should observe the level of intimacy during dating, not to cross that very tempting, oh-so-beckoning line.
Of course, this is an IN CASE someone out day God has prepared for me is truly insane, off-his-rocker-and-onto-the-floor, and irrationally willing to subject himself to certain doom. mwahahaha. Which I highly doubt if there is someone out there whose patience stretches far over the horizon...yes yes, let us all bend our minds to Pirates of the Caribbean.
By keeping myself "pure" in that sense, I'm avoiding the possibility of contamination, tarnishment, and of course, it's strictly something between me, my extremely-unlikely husband, and God. By keeping myself pure for the one God has prepared for me, I'm following God's plan for me, and so I entrust my dubious love life to my Lord. Whatever may come, or whoever, I trust the Lord put them in my life for a reason.
So here's to purity and virtue all my days of my life until the doomed day I have to drag myself up to that altar. :)
Dear God, You rock. Literally and figuratively.

In the Beginning...
Dear Blog,
Today I do officially bring thee into existence with the help of internet explorer, and with the joyous absence of birth pains and surgery complications. Despite being created on this seemingly insignificant day, I shall do my utmost to pen down, or should I say, type down, the ultimate treasures that have been bestowed upon me by our Heavenly Father.
Loves,
The Author.
