I broke my phone :(

Stacey wakes up bright and early - refreshed from the 10 hours of sleep she got - ready for the day ahead. Walks down the stairs, happily, thinking of which shoes to wear - and what to do with her no longer white sneakers, when suddenly..

CRASH!

BOOM-BOO
M-BOOM!!
THUMP..


*silence*

She slipped down 6 steps down, down, down, til she reached the floor.

Rewind to just a minute earlier to when she was in her room.. She takes her phone out of her very safe bag - and puts it into her very unsafe back pocket. The biggest no-no.

"Sumiiiiiiieeeeee!!! I fell down!!"
"Are youuu okayyyy??" *giggle giggle* Stacey slipped down the stairs!
"My phone broke!!!!!!!!" *sniffles*
"Are YOU okay?" *suppressing giggles* "The phone doesn't matter.."
"What do you mean?? My brand new phone....... broke." *starts weeping*
"Awww, as long as you're ok?"
"I'm not okay! My phone broke.." *very very sad face*

It was a sad sad day.. Before Jesus turned my frown upside down!

Brian arrives 2 minutes after the incident and asks 'How are you?' I proceed then to tell him the story as I start tearing..

If only I had put my phone back into my bag ;( Ah well..

Yeah, church as usual was great :) It was Ashley's first week singing - she has such a beautiful voice - I can't even describe it.. And Paul preached on betrayal.. And it was just so timely - this entire week I'd been reading about betrayal - not because I looked for articles or material about it but just that it kept coming up.. And yeah - I did feel like I was betrayed the other day? Yeah..

Anywho! Met up with Dilan for lunch :) Was really great just to catch up - we hadn't hung out properly since before the Christmas holidays last year! Took a walk down to the docks - was a beautiful day :) Had a steak sandwich at the Spanish Arch Hotel.. They had a jazz band playing and they were really, really, really REALLY good!


So that was my Sunday :)

My Saturday was a whole different story :) PPIMG organised a sort of sports day for the Malaysians - and the girls ended up playing futsal in the tennis courts in uni.. It was so much fun! Especially cos my team won! We had the best goal scorer and b
est goalie ;) Great teamwork as well.. 6 goals in 2 games and only one goal conceded :D

My Friday was another happy happy day :D Got to wake up anytime I wanted which turned out to be 10am. And just hung out at home - did my laundry, vaccuumed my room, washed my sheets..

Angela picked me up at 3. The boys rang my doorbell :) They just warm my heart those boys do.. They came in "Staycee, Staycee, wouldja like to come to the
toyshop with us? Mummy says we can get a new toy!" I run up to get my keys and bag. I come downstairs and they're both looking at my toy - one of those magnetic writing boards? You know the ones that kids play with? Yeah.. I ask them if they want ice cream and they run to ask their Mummy if they can have some - and they run back inside to say "Mummy said yes!!" with the most excited looks on their faces :) I had 2 ice creams in the freezer - a red and yellow Solero :) Luca's favourite colour is yellow - so he takes the yellow one and Ben the red one.. Why I'm going into so much detail I don't know.. But those boys :) They melt my heart.. They don't know how much I love them!

We go to the toy shop and while the boys are picking their toys, I get Ang a little present :)

Went to McD's after that to feed the boys.. Then made our way back home :)

We caught up with Ashley when we got closer to the house - and we decided to honk her and flash our headlights.. Scare her a wee bit ;) But Ang ended up washing her windsheild! Hee hee..
We watched 'High School Musical' :) Which was fun - I love the songs!
"I'm breaking freeee! Soaringgg.. Flyinggg!!"


Had a lasagne dinner with garlic dough and caesar's salad :) Yum yum yum!

Got home after that n went out to Bar903 - then to Cuba* after..


And that was my weekend :)

I get so emotional..

John 15:31 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.

Why do I put myself out there so much.. Who would have thought that someone I would give my life for - couldn't and wouldn't care less..

I'm no perfect friend, I try to be there for everyone as much as I can. I try to keep in touch with friends, I try to be understanding. But I'm only human. I have my bad days, I get my moods. I don't make enough of an effort to keep in touch at times - but I'm working on it. Other times, I just can't understand certain things. But I think I'm an okay friend?


Just hurts to see the way things have ended up, but as much as I didn't want this to be true, it's looking to be what people have been saying.. Some friends are just in our lives for a season.

I really am hoping that I'm not jumping to conclusions and that this is all just in my head..

Then again, it may just be time to let go.

Missing Caherlistrane..

Been home alone now for 5 hours..

Had an amazing time with Angela and her family, almost wanted to cry when I said slan to Carole before heading off - even though I'll be seeing them all tomorrow morning in church :P The words I put together just won't do justice to the times we shared :)

2 Sundays ago, going home with them after an afternoon at Frances' house, bouncy castles, cakes, chocolate fountain: "Babyyy! Waaaaake uuuup!! Babyyy! Stayy awake for Mommy!! Luuuuucaaaaaa!! Luuuuucaaaaaa!!" Hee hee.. Didn't know what to expect then, just looking forward to spending some time with them all..

The boys were apprehensive at first, but by today they didn't want me to go home :P Awww, kids.. I love them to bits! Few awful moments when while we were playing one would fall and cry.. And one of the worst moments in my life - for sure.. When Carole asked Ben, 'Who's in our family?' and he pointed at me with his thumb.. He left his little hand in my face for quite a little while.. And I pretended to bite him :P And he moved his hand away, so I bit down - but ended up catching a teeny bit of his skin between my teeth.. And he started BAWLING his eyes out.. Awww, that was the worst feeling I've ever felt - ever.


These I'll miss hearing.. "Nnnnnn-O!" "Why are we going this way?" "But why?" "What??" "What??" "Mommy, I'm hungry.." "Mommy, Mommy, I want to go to.." "But I don't want to go!" I'll miss their little sneezes and yawns, and their running up and down..

"We'll go 'Abram? Abram?' and then he can say 'Here I am!'" Hehe, it was quiet for a few seconds before everyone burst out laughing uncontrollably..

Banged up shins from getting into and out of the car with a child seat in the way :P

Went to watch 2 movies with Angela.. 'John Tucker must die', and what was the other one? Oh yes 'You, Me and Dupree'.. I love hanging out with Ange.. We just end up laughing so much.. And its pretty amazing that after 2 weeks with her, I feel like I haven't had enough :P May be a different story on her end! Hehe..

All in all, it was just an awesome time :)
