the four right chords can make me cry

ben(ben) has a soothing effect on me.

whenever we meet, we inevitably, instantly start talking about work. which to us means the bay, the church and its people, our friends. normally work would connote effort and stress, but when we talk, i dunno, it calms me, reassures me. cos ben always has an interesting take on any problem, and always speaks with the confidence that comes from knowing that God's in control. to my easily-worried heart, his words are quieting and uplifting.

met him at bishan pool after i knocked off work (early today! yay!) he was having a lesson with these two really young ang moh kids. haha they looked so cute... after i swam a few laps, had a bath and was ready to go, it started raining. so we sat and talked in the shelter, as i watched kids continuing with their swimming lesson, the surface of the pool rough with rain.

where did we have dinner? oh yeah, at ya kun. satisfied my craving for kaya which has been bothering me the past few days. met some zhonghua person who knows ben. she was a prefect too so technically we should know each other, i recognise her face, but she has no idea who i am. haha, low profile, that's me.

even in JC when i made a conscious effort to be more outgoing, i still have a low profile. at work, met jane and jin yu, both from AJ, albeit arts fac. they didnt know i was from AJ too, even tho i was in talentime! to top it off, jin yu was the part of the AVA crew for talentime. haha....

hmmm yesterday didnt blog cos i was busy preparing stuff for vday. anyway, went out with keat wei yesterday, did some shopping. shocking confession from him! (hoho... dont worry, i wont blackmail you. yet =P) haha now i can read his blog with understanding! hehe...

it was nice catching up with him, it's easy to get along with him, i dont have to think too hard about what to say, i'm very contented as a listener. and keat always has something interesting to say... unless its to shop owners! the boy refuses to ask for assistance!

later on met his tuition student, janice. she's in aj, gab's batch, counsellor. and she's so nice! we hit off almost instantly =) astounded at how quickly i got along with her, usually i take a LONG while to open up. we both like soup spoon (compared the stamp cards, haha), we both think indian guys have nice features (much to the disgust of keat) and.... we're both friends of keat? haha couldnt think of one more...

all the new friends i've made in 2004 have names starting with "J"! and i like them all! jane, jin yu and janice. let's see if this trend continues...
