so i've heard that in this present relationship, i'm the less expressive and quieter one. obviously right? when the other half is more thick skin and ....... you know. hahaha.
so this is my FIRST (and yes, took me a long time before i decided that i HAD to do this) public display of affection a.k.a PDA for my ah peh boyfriend. to let him know that i've actually secretly compiled a list of things that i'm extremely thankful for.
NO 1. Surprised me at NLB with flowers
and presents after his return from thailand.
NO 2. Bought me coloured markers from
MUJI to tell me that "together, we can make life colourful"
--------- HOW CHEESY is that?!
NO 3. Bought me a crazy nice dress
from Coats for Joce's 21st Birthday Party!
NO 4. Planned a mini-surprise birthday
party for me to make up for his
absence during the actual day. (hahahaha!)
NO 5. Scrapbooked with me even when he found it boring (for our all-new Polaroid board which contains important
memories of our journey
and the people that have
influenced us or are part
of our journey in one way or another!)
NO 6. Suggested going to Clarence's house to visit him which ended up as a true blessing
when Pastor Caleb and Christina said
"whao, so nice to see both of you together!
still remember how you all
looked like when you were young."
(affirmation is always encouraging) :)
NO 7. Encourages me when school work piles up at WEEK 3.
NO 8. Cracks me up with his ah peh slang and jokes.
NO. 9 Reminds me that we are special-
cause it's rare to find two people in
love and who have grown up in fcbc all their lives.
NO. 10 IT'S A SECRET.
at the end of the day, i am thankful for more than all these things. :) recently, we both listened to this Singaporean compilation of Christian songs. and this particular song written by City Harvest was our favourite track from the album. Sad to say, all the major churches were represented in the Integrity Music Album, save for ours. so here's my encouragement to you...
to charles:
you are very special to me! and my prayer is that you will become the next John Koh of FCBC. God has given you a unique talent to worship him, but i think he has also imparted in you the spirit to write beautiful songs. You have the melodies so whenever you get stuck with the lyrics, that's what i'm here for! :) cause i'm the humanities/literature girl. but i pray that you will allow the Holy Spirit to guide you so that you can compose intimate love songs for God that reach to the depths of the hearts of people.
May this song be a constant reminder to you of God's calling for your life-
that no matter what comes your way,
the best compliment you can ever receive, is from God himself.
"our greatest honour will always be to serve our Lord and King!"
