This morning I woke up and found out that we'd been invited to the once-yearly Chinese New Year dinner at H*ua Yu W*ee. Everyone was invited, including boyfriends and girlfriends. My mum said, 'bring your boyfriend'. So Irene joined us tonight, and it was really nice to have her there with my family. We've had my brothers' many different girlfriends join us before, and they've come and gone, but I can safely say that MY girlfriend is here to stay, and thank God for that.

And while we're on the subject of God, I was thinking about how funny it is that sometimes (very often, actually), life just seems too much to handle. Yet still I feel like I want it all. I want everything that is above and beyond my reach, and I resent everything that's already in my lot. But I remember telling my old CG that life is a journey and a struggle at the very same time. So tonight, I stand in square one once more.This is the short-term goal: to place the people I love in God's hands.
