just got home from the airport. i hate going to the airport to send ppl off...esp ppl whom i've known since eons ago. but i hate partings even more. it just leaves me moody and sad. Kev left for aussie tonight, back for uni/college. another toot left us. i remembered 6 years ago, kev & family left and migrated to aussie and all of us cried like crazy. and we sang this very song...the same song we sang at the airport today.
Next Year in Jerusalem
With every little parting and someone says "Goodbye", Familiar times departing It makes you want to cry. Our God is gently telling While thru' this world we roam, To seek a better city For our eternal home.
Next year in Jerusalem There's no need for despair, Next year in Jerusalem You know you'll see me there. And when we see our Saviour Lord We'll sing the Victor's song, And in His love we'll find our rest So while we're here, lets give our best, Just next year in Jerusalem, Where weary souls belong.
The twilight casts its shadows The arms have now grown old, Which bore the torch of valour The Gospel of our soul. My friend, be bold and ready To grip the standard high, Tho' former ones have passed on The faith must never die.
Next year in Jerusalem There's no need for despair, Next year in Jerusalem You know you'll see me there. And when we see our Saviour Lord We'll sing the Victor's song, And in His love we'll find our rest So while we're here, lets give our best, Just next year in Jerusalem, Where weary souls belong.
found a video clip on youtube with our teens singing. not the entire part though. and there's kevin's in the background with guitar i think...
this is very song that never fails to make every single one of us cry. nearly burst into tears when i saw dennis cry just now. so heartbreaking that scene. but i guess, at least we can all hold onto that gleam of hope that we'll eventually "see each other in Jerusalem". Kev, you made us cry terribly 6 years ago. this year we sang this song again. but i guess after so many partings, i've became stronger. lol. but it's definitely sad and We'll miss you, Kev. really. Take care.
initially, i was planning to complete my marketing assignment tonight, but after sending Kev off, i'm totally in no mood to do anything. just so much thoughts. partings just make people sad and moody :( just as i'm typing this now, i feel like crying already. and i guess it'll be weird not seeing him around in church anymore...

it's CNM e-learning week today!! which means no school from mon-wed! except that irritating 15 mins of consultation on tues. so i guess i'll try to wake up early for changing landscapes lecture @ 8 then. project datelines are coming so everything will start pacing up soon..after this week of e-learning, it's recess week then another 6 weeks and tada! final exams. which means time to get cracking and start revision.
it has been a hectic week with all the project meetings, VDAY and reports to rushed out. this week will be more meetings but more studying too.
on a side note, talked to mitch ystd. and somehow, some thoughts came running back in the mind and it has been twirling in my mind ever since. really bothersome. ugh.
oh well. some pictures to end the week...
some outdated pictures:
mate's 1/2 cut face
will update the whole set of pictures from Xmas '07 and CNY'08 when i'm free.
Vday'08
Mel HEART you ((:

free day tmr ((: but i'll still have to do my projects and my tutorials. TSK. had another go in 2nd life again just now. i'm slowly picking it up!! i went on a flight on a "magic carpet". i learnt how to get freebies and changed my virtual look, i've even got myself a pair of wings. i learnt how to dance virtually!!
with interim report and changing landscapes webcast. had a go in 2nd Life too. super confusing but it was kind of fun being able to edit the appearance of the virtual me, to the extend of being able to have a say in how sharp i want my chin to be, and how long my eye-lashes are etc. but that's only virtual. and i've named the virtual me, melly thor (for the sake of ease of remembering). i'm still at that noobie stage in 2nd life..more to learn. and the bad thing - my project is on 2nd life. roars!
here's a snapshot of me in 2nd life. yawns. long day tmr from 10-5. busy week ahead. the bed's calling!!

just got home. today was a bomb. lunch was a bomb. madness i must say. late breakie followed by 2 lunches consecutively. bloated and tummy filled to the brim!! the bad thing bout cny...eat eat eat eat eat. loads of laughter. tons of food.
but somehow, something's always missing. grandma's presence. i remember previous reunion dinners with ah ma's presence. you have no idea how much i miss her. it's such festive season when i miss her even more. if only she's still around...someone dear, someone dearly missed.
on a happier note, i'm looking forward to sunday though ((: family dinner with the rest over at ours (which means i'll have to help out =S). more good food, more fellowshipping. i like ((: how i wish cny never ends... more visiting later...i think dinner can be skipped for the day...

festive season, festive mood, festive food. the only thing i'm looking forward to during this cny is the food ((: yes, as always. my ba-kua, pineapple tarts and the rounds of meals tgt with relatives. not very much in the cny mood tho. last min shopping today again. but at least i'm kind of prepared for the festive season now..
shopping with lynn just now was tiring but dinner was GOOD. *happiness* btw, she's my boyfriend for the day. haha. aiyo..my real boyfriend cannot be fairer than me lah. she's the only exception ((: haha. (lynn's gonna kill me if she sees this) met darius on the train just now. 2nd time in one mth i think. if only i can meet more familiar faces when i'm out.
anws, advanced reunion dinner cum lawrence's bday celebration last night @ Furama hotel. the two little ones ate for free! if only i'm still a kid..there are so many privileges to enjoy. even if you make some mistakes, all you have to do is cry... but most probably the kid will get a spanking instead of some sympathy. hees. i'm still very much a kid at heart though ((:
on a side note, blogging has become really boring for me. and blogger islaggy! nvm, peektures will be uploaded soon (when i'm free/bored).
will update the whole set of pictures from Xmas '07 and CNY'08 when i'm free.
XOXO
