beautiful disaster

Miss Singapore. Miss the familiarity of home and the ability to go anywhere I want and know where I'm going. Miss the people I can talk to and have fun with. Miss Chinese food.

Went to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. They have so many different types of art: Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, European. Very interesting. The exhibition on Faberge eggs was really pretty. I wish they sold those miniature imitations in the gift shop so I could get one and bring it home. I got a brochure instead.

Things I Learnt About The US: 1. A quarter is 25 cents, not 15 cents. For the longest time I thought it was 15 cents; I have no idea why. I only realised it was 25 cents when the cashier gave me back 10 cents when I bought something today. Ding ding ding! (Proving that a1 in E and A math does nothing for you in real life :D) 2. The only spoon they use here is a dessert spoon. They don't use spoons at all. Not even to eat rice. Fascinating. 3. The food portions are HUGE. It's like our lunch and breakfast combined. And the only vegetables they eat are in salad, so I've been having salad every day. I am quite sick of it. 4. Singapore TV has nothing on American TV. I think I've watched more TV here than I have since the beginning of the year.

(P.S. Have had a lot of time to reflect and rest, Daniel :))

My Destiny
Psalm 46 (NASB)
God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
Though its waters roar and foam,
Though the mountains quake at its swelling pride.

There is river whose streams make glad the city of God,
The holy dwelling places of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered;
He raised His voice, the earth melted.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.

Come, behold the works of the Lord,
Who has wrought desolations in the earth.
He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariots with fire.
"Cease striving and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
The Lord of hosts is with us;
The God of Jacob is our stronghold.
