hazy
where did the good weather go? darn, i AM LIVING IN MELBOURNE, which is infamous for its temperamental weather. if only my mood would be not so dependent on how the sky fares.
we're nearing the end of the year, almost time to make resolutions for a fresh start next year. there will be changes, changes that are still in progress at the moment. this is the time when most things are hazy, when most of us are unsure of what we're gonna do, where we're gonna be next year. this is the time to have faith and learn to hope.
have a good day loves~

in a relationship
as expected, it is more difficult for me to write in ms word than to write here. i stared at the blank document page for five minutes and nah, that's it. then again, it is not so easy either writing all the things i had flashing in my mind just shy of two hours ago since i've forgotten most of them. should've jot them down, ey?
anyway, let's try to string together all these random pieces of thoughts into one post that is hopefully blog-worthy.
...
most of the time we don't appreciate what we have.
i'd love to be in love again. it is a wonderful feeling to be intimate with someone, when you have someone to share your day with, to the teensiest of detail, and would listen to it without showing disinterest, someone who you can call or go to when you are troubled, who will be ready to receive and comfort you when you suddenly buzzed that person's intercom, no matter whether it is in the middle of the night or early in the morning, someone who will be there for you. someone who cares for you, someone who loves spending time with you and you love to spend time with.
to be close to someone and to be loved in return. and apparently i have that someone all along. well, it's not like i can actually buzz Him and just strut into His place since He doesn't exactly live on earth. but JC is always there for me and as much as He longs for an intimate relationship with me, i am the party who often disappoints.
well yeah there were times i was so lovey-dovey with God and yearn for Him more and more, and there were downtimes too. while on the other hand, JC is God, God is perfect and He loves me the same no matter how much or how little i love Him. does it ever frustrate you that you cannot love God as much as He does? coz i do feel frustrated at times but hey, noone can love like He does, that is why there is such thing as grace, and mind you, we can love Him coz He loves us first.
yet still it will not stop me from trying hard to do my bit in the relationship, that is to come and surrender. this is the kind of relationship in which if you have felt the touch of His love for you, you will never want to let go. neighbour told me again last night about the story of the two disciples who walked to Emmaus and on the way, they bumped into JC. JC pretended to want to leave them and they begged and begged for Him to stay because of the flame He set ablaze in their hearts was so strong they wanted more. it reminded me of my post-winter-camp-revival-night experienced as well, when i did not want His presence to leave. just like Kak Iwan's son does not want him to go to work.
so, no matter how challenging it would be, i want to stay in this relationship. i will fight for this intimacy *borrow the phrase ya :)*
goodnight!
xoxo

TGIF
at work and my stomach is cramping. it is not my intention to have an upset stomach every friday but it happened last friday and repeats itself today. my theory is i always overwork my body for the week, do not recuperate enough on the weekend, only to go back to work on mondays not feeling exactly a hundred percent and things go downhill from then to rockbottom fridays. but then again, it can be from the crappy coffee i bought this morning from a cafe at the station. drinking good coffee all the time lowers down your stomach tolerance to below-standard coffee. sigh.
i was soaking in the bathtub last night, and while enjoying the rosy fragranced reject shop bath salt, i thought to myself, "if only everyday could be as relaxing as this". i need a holiday. everyday is too high strung. if it's not for God i would not cope. thank You~
i only ask for one thing today. make tonight a really amazing Friday Amazing. i want to see You.

numb lip
gosh! life's geeting busier each day, i haven't got the energy to think about anything substantial to write :( let this one be a light and fluffy post~ we'll just list down some random lessons i learned today, okay? i'm kinda tired and want to lie down very soon...
one... when you start poking your eyes when you try to remove your contact lenses, it is time to cut your fingernails.
two... trains still do run although there is power outage in an area. a really dumb thing happened this arvo. i numbed up a patient for a filling and the power suddenly went off in all st albans. we had to sent the patient home with a numb lip and nothing done. poor girl... poor us too... despite the blackout, we didn't get to go home early.
three... one tub of goulburn valley sliced peach in juice makes exactly three batches of allie's sweet puff pastry, with one batch equals to one sheet of pampas frozen puff pastry skin.
four... some more serious stuff. having priorities set means you will let some people down.
five... not everyone organise things the way you do, allie.
six... cannot think of anything else.
goodnight!

while clicking refresh button in frustation
the weather in melbourne is crazy today! i walked under the drizzle this morning just to reach work and found out the sun decided to come out 5 minutes after i got there. if only i waited, but yeah whatever, i'm here... then it hailed, then it was warm and sunny for a brief while, now, it's raining cats and dogs. and there were the earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoon and stuff. mother earth is not happy. and so are the IT guys at DHSV. the server's down :(
