An outing with THE oldest/longest friend.

"You know jas, we're on different wavelengths but my heart is for you..."

This is the essence of who my oldest friend really is.

terribly annoying but live-hard loyal.

and what surprised me was, despite our different wavelengths, she echoed exactly what i have always thought and kept close to my heart regarding friendships....

people can quarrel about a million trillion things,
and if u want to nit pick,
there are a million dots spots for u to pick on,

but really, all that matters,
is if a person's heart is for you.

That way,
to quote, that will be the
"constant thread" throughout each stage, each season and phase,
come what may!

Touch down

And so I'm home...

how time does fly! Time in Maple Tree land-Canada-was superb.

The grand Niagara, the quaint Main Street of Unionville, the spectacular fireworks, bustling Farmer's Market and the quilts and antiques of St Jacob's village...

I even rode on the carousel-a ride i cannot resist or make a point not to miss every time i see it-especially when I'm on holiday!

Thanks to jia ren who planned every detail and made their home ours while we were there.

A million thoughts are still running through my mind but today, day 2 of touch down, everything seems a tad more familiar.
Not that things were unfamiliar to start with, but like my cuz Sammo said,
i was in a state of coma yesterday.
Didn't quite know how to react or feel.
Despite the fact that ive been looking forward to homecoming.
Today, everything seems a lot more real.
Believe me, it's true!

And there are things to be done, packing(oh yes once more!) to be begun and
people I want to meet, you and you and you...
There are things I've left behind, things I've thrown and memories that stay.

Cedar Street, Hillhouse avenue, High Street and good ol bustling New York New York.

When will I step foot on those streets once more? And what would have changed...

It's in His Hands not mine, It's in His timing not mine.
Know not I but He.

Till then shall I wait,
but daily shall I sing,
glad that I live am I for
every breath, every sight and every tune sung.
