Our exercise today turned out to be a self-study session, so we (my roomie and I) decided to go to IKEA to eat the super cheap meatballs. I accidentally found a super cute cup, which I insisted that I would need to drink my peach tea. So i bought it, a happy buy!
I'm very thankful that i have been able to talk to the Moo online almost everyday (except for those days that i were travelling France and Italy). It is really nice to know that the Moo makes an effort ,to honor his word; its very heartwarming for me :D. Though i was really really sad knowing that Moo didnt win his competition; for a moment, i think for the first time in my life, I could feel someone's sadness so strongly, so resonating. I teared, when i was talking to you, and when i was reading your post on the forum too. Yet, it was a glorious sadness, i think, because you know that God indeed created something so beautiful out of it. Your story of the unfulfilled dream was sad, everyone knew that, but still, it rose to become a source of inspiration for people to dream on. And like i told you, you created for the first time a platform for your gamer friends to share things that they would never share, you brought personality into the gaming cycle. I could see behind every reply to your post a personality, a dream, a hope, a desire.
And God amazed me so so much with the way He let thing happen and the way He has worked in your heart this whole season. I have always thought you lost, you would fling everything. Like seriously heck care everything. I have to admit that as much as I wanted you have your dream fulfilled, I was also very very scared of what would happen if you could not. So I prayed really hard for you and your competition. And I was very anxious, it was like the big day of my life too! I prayed on the train to church, i prayed during church, i prayed when i was walking around with my friend, i prayed on the train home. And the first thing i did when i reached home was to log on skype to talk to you. When you didnt reply me, i thought you won and went out for celebration with your friends. Then i checked out your fb page, and your friend tagged you in a GG post, i knew like 90% that you guys didnt win. But still the anxiety went on. I even thought that you went to some place to emo by yourself. When you replied me on fb and seemed fine, my first reaction was not relief, but disbelief!!!! Yeah! It is amazing how you have come to realize so many thanksgivings instead of dwelling on your disappointment and sadness of a shattered dream. God indeed can make all things beautiful in His own time.
There is one important thing I realize through this whole time, I think it is a way God is teaching me about surrender. I had tried very hard in the beginning to bring you back closer to God, I had struggled, I had stumbled over discouragement, and bit by bit, God made me realize that it had never been my responsibility, your walk with God; it had never been my ability, your growth in Him. So I learnt to let go, still very much tempted to take matter in my own hands. And at the end of the day, in a way that only you and Him know, He drew you closer to Him. And i was just so amazed!

If there is one thing that I need to tell you, that would be respect. Having been together with your for almost 3 years, I have always considered you my best friend, my life companion, and my many other things :D, but it has never impressed upon me so strongly that you are a very very manly sort of person, with a wild heart and a gentle spirit. It is an unique combination, many people has only either one. You are one of a kind because you have both!!!! Because of that, you have my respect, more than ever. Having said that, you are still my dearest Moomoo, who is very very childlike, lame, blur and snoozey!!!! And I'm looking forward to talking to you everyday!!!

My roomie and I looked at each other and we both wanted icecream. So we rushed to the supermarket downstairs, 20 mins before the closing time to get a peach-mango and pineapple icecream!!! YUMYUM!!! i have sweet stuff to accompan my tummy every night now!!!

And i am having a bible study session tmr with the international student ministry in my school!!!
