Rargh.

temptation.

She keeps hoping
She keeps praying for change
But change will not come

Eternally optimistic she believes her radiant light might set him alight
But time and time again he shuns it away
Denying the warmth
Denying the Promise
Opting instead to dwell in Darkness

The further he strays from the path,
The dimmer the light will become
Fading...fading...
And in turn, the harder to find the way back Home

Now the Light has no choice, but to remain faithful to her post
Ready to guide him
Ready to ensure he'll never walk alone once more
But will he decide to turn around?
Or will his eyes grow accustomed to the shadows of Night?

persistence.

i think that's what love is.
persisting, with each and every miniscule fibre, fighting for what you believe in, because you know in the end, it'll be worth it.
persisting, through the good and the bad. because you can never have sunshine without the rain.
and in the end, if it's true.
it'll all be worth it.

Or.. is that just naivity?

This morning:
I had a quarell with my mother about lemons. LEMONS.
Seriously.
It's been a stressful time for my family. Grandma's been in hospital for a knee reconstruction. Mum, Grandpa and my Aunt have all been taking shifts to be with her during the day and night.
All went well.
Just ..you know how mother's are. Natural born stressheads. :|
My Aunt Ivy suggested I take over my mum's shift from tonight till tomorrow morning, since she looks tired and can barely sleep in new surounds and what have you.
So that is where I'll be.

Back to the argument.
It got ridiculously escalated. I was trying to tell her to stop taking her stress out on my lemons. Just to watch her blood pressure and .. worry about more important things. Clearly, dumb dumb move.
Lol.
She did have a knife...

ANYWAY.

She left just a little after that.
And this is how it went.
Motherrr: "Okay, I'm going to take your sister to school now."
Me: "Okay, have a nice day, love you."
Mother: "Yeah you too. Love you too."

And right there!
Like look at that. I can lol at the lemon argument now.. seems so silly in the grand scheme of things. But yeah.. this dawned on me, right after that exchange before her depart...
Ah family.
Not that the lemon thing didn't mean anything.
Just.
Forgiveness and unconditional Love.
YEAH. THAT'S FAMILY <3

(: Happy Friday Amigos.

Merryman.

starfruit & clover.

good morning!

Starfruit! 100% organic, ripened over the neighbour's fence.

closer... (not too sharp as I resized these to make for a quicker upload.. maybe a little too severly though!)

So I wonder how it got it's name... also BREAKFAST! <3 Mmm I feel so clean and starry :).

Found my very first four-leaf clover this morning in the patch by the bus stop with my little sister, Gabrielle

and then.. found some more!

She's too pro. Hers on the left. Mine on the right!

Keen eyes, that little Miss. And oh-so lucky! She finds at least one every morning, gurenteed! :D

Granted, this will have some impact on my fortune today, hopefully for the better ;D.

Tonight I will be attending this:

Pasteurisation and Homogenisation.

Kekekeke.... a tri-puntastic I had going on there.. We had leftover cream for the scones, and decided to use a teaspoon to churn it into butter. Pretty good effort I'll say. No pics though, sorry ):

Ahh, I am oh-so tired.

Didn't sleep til early this morning. And even then it wasn't for long xD.

IT Crowd season 3 + a movie with Yannick contributed to this.

Saighhhh.. Uni tomorrow.

HAPPY MONDAY.

And to all you who've returned from Splendour.

You've no idea how envious I am of you!

Better have some awesome stories for me!!

Turned on the radio before while ironing.

AND MUMFORD AND SONS WERE STREAMING LIVE FROM WOODFORD THROUGH MY STEREO.

Bittersweet is bittersweet.

Had the family over for dinner.

Bit of a ..pep-dinner to psyche my Gran up for her knee surgery on Tuesday :D.

Please keep her in your thoughts!

加油！婆婆, 我们爱你！！

Here's something else I found in my room. It's a moivational pass-it-on wallet sized card.

Faith. It's not an easy journey. 

I'm ever-questioning.

Especially when stuff happens that simply doesn't make sense!!

Or just.. doesn't go the way we envisaged.

Easier said than done, at times.

I am imperfect.

I am human.

But I can try to:

Sayonara, people of God.
