Back in Pittsburgh already, holidays coming to an end, school starting tomorrow. I can only sigh and wonder where the past 3 weeks have gone to. The holidays felt too short for me and it didn't help that I was traveling around so much that I could only spend a few days at a place. Was a bit tired from all the traveling, but other than that, I had a wonderful break. It was nice to catch up with everyone, though I wish I had more time to meet up with more people. Didn't really do anything much with friends in Singapore; only watched a movie, and it was a Chinese movie called "Confessions of Pain" (yes, I actually watched a Chinese movie! Haha. Quite a deep movie, but too violent/bloody for my liking). Didn't even have time to ktv. Basically just met up with friends for lunch/dinner and had a good long talk after that and I must really say I haven't had honest conversations in a while and I really miss having those kind of talks with my friends. Ate quite a bit too (my mum bought me carrot cake 3 times in 1 week! haha)..ah I'm really going to miss the food :) I think I dealt with homesickness much better this time (at least I didn't cry after walking past the immigration counter at Changi), but I'm still going to miss everyone back home. And the worst part is, I'm not even sure when I'm going to go back again.

I had to deal with school and internship stuff the past week even before school had started! This week is just going to get busier for me, with accounting final to sit for and more internship applications to submit. So many things to do, but I'm not really worried about them yet. Just wondering how I'm going to go about doing things and managing my time.

Coming back to Pittsburgh feels a little weird for me for some strange reason. I'm still jet-lagged and getting used to the cold weather again and not being around my mum or my brothers. Oh well.

I read an interesting quote recently: "An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves". One of my new year resolutions is to be more optimistic and I'm really going to try to not worry unnecessarily or think negatively or something along those lines, so please remind me if I start to do so.

Sigh. Maybe I shouldn't think too much and complicate matters and instead, just leave it in His hands and trust in His timing.


Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light my way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours
