Wow... One of the days I won't easily forget. Went to some charity dinner thingy at Hyatt hotel after work. Food wasn't too bad... First course was bread and butter. (Don't laugh!) Then we had some fusion looking dish... Tuna and avarcado with a tortilla chip... hahaha. Later on there was a chicken dish. Already started to feel quite full at this dish. don't ask me why. I think after that was dessert already. Hahaha. The more you pay for a meal, the less they give you to eat. Haha! What I really enjoyed was the live jazz music towards the later portion of the night. A very comfortable 3 piece jazz band provided accompanyment for the several singers. A bassist (loved his bass... It had no head and a small body), a drummer (complete with brushes and smokey cymbals) and a keyboardist. Most of the singers were alright but Wendi Koh was very good. But later on when Dessy 'something' came on stage to sing, I was amazed. When she was introducing herself, I thought she would be another 'alright' singer. But when she started singing, I was blown away. She was quite small in size (midget sized) and I was wondering, "Where does the vocals come from?"

But I guess the highlight of my day was when President Nathan was taking his leave from the banquet hall. As he was walking past my table, he stepped towards me and streched out his hand. I was amazed as I shook his hand. Like wow... How cool is that man! Hahahaa... Must remember to thank Ai Chee for the dinner. It was an extremely enjoyable night for me.

Been encouraged this whole day. Managed to get through 3 days without reminscing about her also!!! This is so fun! Was talking to God while walking home. Praying for other people now. Feel more effective now... Must keep relying on God for the strength cos I know it'll be very easy to start stumbling again.

::: Verse of the Day :::
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.
|Isaiah 43:18-19|
