activities of the day are slowly winding down. all that i have left to do is to prepare for the prayer meeting tomorrow, take a shower and sleep. Although i have not checked my yahoo mail account for ages, i don't feel like answering or sending out any emails at the moment. i don't feel like making or answering any more calls. i feel i've once again been doing too many things, thinking about too many things. i want to be still and trying hard not to let my thoughts leap too far ahead of me. There's finally a moment i'm alone, a brief moment when the future does not seem so impending and patiently waits its turn, but yet i just can't keep still.

this verse keeps coming back to me.

Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me. Psalm131:2

So i'll be going off now and try to be still. Just an update on the current marriage preparations: hannon and i have just seen a flat that we may buy. We can't say that we like it very much but then again, we don't have any major issue about it. Well, ironically i got what i have wished for a long time ago, only to find out that this is perhaps not what i want right now. I used to wish that I could live in those peranakan shop houses and wake up to the hustle and bustle of the little shops and markets. The air romantically glazed in the pale morning light, i will walk down the staircase of my apartment in my slippers and rumpled home clothes to have my morning breakfast of teh tarik and kayah toast. And now, i've almost got everything i'd wished before in my ignorant and idealistic past. Hee hee.
