mrs yeoh!















gen and i









we went for a Thai Service today at Lavender Street.
Its so endearing to know how despite being foreign to the language,
we were still able to understand their longing for Him.
They were singing and crying with love, summoning their deepest fears and pains
just to place them at the foot of the Cross.
I had always wanted to do that.
There were countless times that I just didnt have the courage to tell
Him how pained I was at the altar.
It takes a lot to do that.
really.

I know so many people who chase after Him, and yet chase after the fluff.
Is pretty the only humane word?
Is joy only associated with tangible things?
So how do you explain joy?

This year's different.
Lesser cards written, lesser presents bought, lesser of me.
More of Him.

I remember asking someone a question .
But she didnt give me the answer I expected.
The trip gave me so many thoughts.
How I realize, we were two people, of two different origins,
standing apart on separate mountain peaks,
once unaware of the many differences we had.
Up till today, I have only realized that we didnt understand the same
language .
of simply caring.

Answers?

I will have to talk to Him first.

or probably by the time I have gotten the answers,
you would have already forgotten your questions .
would you?

sawat dii kha till 28th,
