Looking at the grad dinner pictures posted on facebook somehow brings more pangs of anxiety and of course the usual of i-miss-my-friends. when you go away, there's a whole portion of normal life that you miss out on. all the i-could-be-doing this. it's like life stopped there- and then you know that when you get back you need to catch up.
i uh saw my childhood friend. haha. he's big and tall now. i went to church today, chinese service- i understood the message! it was pretty edifying. And i saw my mum's old friend.
i think culture plays a very big role in upbringing and all. When i look at all these americanized kids, i tend to compare them to the kids back home, who probably have more respect for their elders, and are less brand conscious.. but then again who am i to judge..

Although the fig tree shall not blossom
neither shall fruit be in the vines;
the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat;
the flock shall be cut off from the fold,
and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk 3:17-18
This lullaby is only a few words
A simple run of chords
Quiet here in this spare room
But you can hear it, hear it
Wherever you may go
I will let you down
But this lullaby plays on
