A thin line (or more precisely), a narrow road, separates two worlds. On one side of the road is the everyday Singapore scene, with its tall buildings. On the other lays a world not before known to me, until last night, with its crazy traffic and quaint restaurants. Huis and my little field trip to what I imagine India is like.
Some things that made us grin at each other in excitement.... Seeing some really huge things like Rittersports chocolate the size of my palm. It made me feel like I was in Giantland. And while Carrefour has maybe one or two rows of shelves dedicated to chocolate, this place has seven. Wow.
Thanks to Naz for introducing me to this A-Z place.
Went on a housecall with Dr Kang this week. It made me think that life and death are so close, that perhaps no one really knows where life ends and death begins. Or in the religious sense, when death (suffering) ends, and life begins. We only have the medical definition. But what about the meaningful version? When one is in a coma, unable to do anything but breathe, with one's blood pressure slipping to a seemingly inevitable zero, maybe the very essence of the person is already somewhere else. Yet, I still felt my chest tighten, the urgency to fight.
On a different note, I think my wisdom teeth are emerging on the left, and it hurts. I can feel them trying to break the skin of my gums and be born. I do not want less space, and more teeth to brush.
Off to have my delicious meal of Bacon and Yam Rice, homecooked with love by my darling grandma. (:
Lord, help me to trust You implicitly.
