en route; 
Blessed Easter everyone! (:
today was truly a day filled with family &friends, random acts of kindness &more love than anyone can ever imagine (:
#1 church! there's no better way than to kick off a beautiful Easter Sunday with a good church service, joined by family (extended as well!), family friends &church friends. it's truly a blessing to be able to feel God's love and presence, and truly a blessing to know that you're surrounded by loved ones feeling the exact same thing.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God."
- Ephesians 2:8 (NKJV)
#2 random act of kindness (: so my dad, sis, chryz &i were stuck at far east plaza, trying to get to the grand hyatt to pick up our car, but it was raining like craaaazy. for a moment all of us were determined to get across, regardless of how drenched we would get or how long it would take. all of a sudden, a stranger from a corner came up holding two extra umbrellas &wanted to go past &(my thick-skinned) dad decided to try his luck and asked, "can we borrow those please?" we completely didn't expect it, but the woman stopped in her footsteps, turned around, flashed us an enormous smile, asked where we were going, then proceeded to pass us BOTH umbrellas, followed by a quick, "God Bless You" (: it's moments like these when you realize how beautiful this world is, and how lucky we are to be a part of it.
"Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full."
- John 16:24 (NKJV)
#3 the amazing engagement between BENJAMIN NG &MICHELLE LIM! (: what an honour to be able to witness this beautiful event, from the distracting of mich with dinner&drinks, to tricking her on stage &then watching her tears fall as ben emerged from behind her, singing his heart out before going down on his knees at the very same place they first started dating at (:
"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
- 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7
thank God for these wonderful blessings on this amazing day <3
He is risen! (:
“Think of it: a disability is usually defined in terms of what is missing. … But autism … is as much about what is abundant as what is missing, an over-expression of the very traits that make our species unique.”

bangkok was a blast, and filled with tons of shopping, though i think my next trip will be more on relaxing than the crazy mad shopping (okay who i am kidding?! i probably will still shop a lot the next time i head there)
on a lighter note,
YOU SEE?!! i'm NOT the only one thinking that some of the disney villains arent really villains at all. provoked, maybe. HAHA.
"Yes, I know that Ursula is not technically considered a princess. (Let’s be real, upon being born a size 2 with a button nose, she never stood a chance.) But to me, she will always be one. She deserves, more than any of the girls who were born into such a position of luxury and firm-buttockhood, to have the title of Lead Girl. Because, if we’re being honest, Ursula was always the hero of that movie — if terribly misunderstood. And even though she could spend her time as the much more conventionally sexy Vanessa, she is more than comfortable in her own suckers. Even as an octopus-centaur-thing, she is hotter than any of us. And we weren’t kidding when we called her, well, the Head Witch In Charge."

happy Good Friday &early Easter Sunday, everyone (:
have a very blessed long weekend! <3 "But what we seem to overlook is that happiness is not an elusive state of euphoria that we eventually stumble upon once all of our goals are fulfilled. Happiness is a choice, and you are just as capable of experiencing it now as you will be once your life looks as you think it ideally should."
- Brianna Wiest, Happiness Is A Choice
it's tiring to hate, it's tiring to be angry,
and it's tiring to fear. from now on, it's just me &my loved ones (:
happy march holidays, everyone!
