I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me. He said,
"Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I loved your Grandma so."
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
Of her, I found this letter, and this is what it said:
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away,
In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray.
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.
If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through;
I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.
Between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be loving you. Love, me.

Before all else...
Speaking of walking Chezze, my dog is a really smart also a super duper damn ah po dog. Right now, he is resting next to my mom after he's never-fill-capacity-dosage of sayangs, he's really a good life dog. Notice, I typed resting earlier cos dear Chezze only sleeps in air conditioned room. When he hears the air con being turned on, you will find him walking into the room, making himself comfy and snuggle to sleep on the bed. Good life!
Realised my blog is very much stagnant, stagnanter and soon, stagnentest. Yes I understand there are no such words but really I'm not bothered. And to begin with, I was never an avid blogger, started cos I felt like it but I do admit, I'm an avid blog surfer and I get irritated somehow when pple dont update, speak for myself eh! Hah! Maybe I should be like mei and just close my blog till the urge comes back again, shall see! Thank God, I'm not the only three days wind four days rain personality at home!
I need a break.
So May and June hasnt been good to me, hopefully July would take pity on me and be nice and so will August, September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April.... and the cycle goes on, you get the drift.
I seriously need a break.
Feeling really crappy and all...
Yesterday, saw myself at mom's office helping her create an invoice form, something which I enjoy very much cos I get to do all the alignment nonsense and all. Something which I am very anal about, recalling back times in TP, my analness certainly got Xiang, Rah and Nic irritated esp when we're rushing the last hour into the deadline. Making sure, every space is the same size, whole doc's aligned, diff para diff heading diff font size, header footer nicely properly placed and the list goes on and on, yeah that's me!
Was really late for service this morning, missed half the sermon but am really thankful I did manage to absorb the last half which has been in my head since in bits and pieces...
"...God does not work like a vending machine - prayers are not answered immediately... Why the delay? God does so to strengthen our faith for Him and for us to re-examine ourselves... It is through these periods of delay where we learnt and grow. Prayers will be answered through faithful prayer and in God's way."
"And whatever you ask in prayer, you will recieve, if you have faith" Matt 21:22
