The Two Cs In My Life: Cambodia and Cambridge

The real reason I hardly ever update my blog: once I start, I can't stop. I will blog incessantly, given the chance.

So anyway, yesterday we had red bean supper number 2. This time I managed to make the beans crunchy by overcooking them. How is it even possible to burn red bean soup??? The answer: by talking to one's parents. I decided I didn't need to run off from skype another time to check on the soup, but the saucepan is tiny and holds something like two and a half cups of water, so when I finally returned to it I saw a pile of beans, half red and half grey. O_o I solved it by adding extra sugar.

And YY called yesterday which was cool, although the line was bad so her voice broke up on every three-syllable word. I told her I had become yekatch's substitute sister, heh. She still feels bad for being the one who got to go overseas. No worries. It's not like Singapore is sinking or anything. And it'll still take a fairly long time before they manage to dump enough sand secretly into Selat Tebrau to make a land bridge...so till then, I am actually overseas. Or overstrait.

Speaking of overseas study, Cambridge is MIA! I can't get through to the administrator at Wolfson and this is terrible only because I couldn't pull out my application in time for the June round of selections. Which means that someone is being deprived of a place while I here happily hold on to an offer I can't afford. But it is an offer I can refuse. For the last time, everyone, I like being in Singapore and don't see myself anywhere else for the next few years. So unless money drops from the sky, I will take it that this also is where God wants me to be.

S, when I return from Cambodia I promise I'll call the general office number for Wolfson College and clear up the whole matter once and for all, so you can stop asking me for the hundreth time, whether or not I'm going. I think everyone could do with a break from the suspense.

And now I am still behind in preparations for my Cambodia trip, which is but seven hours away. Please pray! I haven't finished my sermon (and here I am typing you an update. oh dear). So let it be goodbye for now.
