Who am i
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
whom shall i fear
whom shall i fear
i am yours

Attended my cousin's, Nicholas, wedding. My family was really involved man. My sis and I were invited to be wedding singers for the day. Ben was one of the "Brothers" for my cousin. Tim was the ringbearer. And and! This is the first time I permed my hair! haha. It will be my last time too. The girls in the family had fun going to the salon and styling our hair, but mine came out the most exaggerated of all. My father was busy dropping food into his tea, and toppling beverages over. My mum was busy trying to disclaim any relationship with my dad. 
Ben, Eliz, Stef, Dad
My pretty cousin-in law, Tim and my cousin, Nicholas
The Thia family!!!
Thanks Cynthia and Lala for lending me your dresses. This year we'll have to borrow more dresses for the numerous church weddings!! Actually, Im not really close to my relatives at all. Past disputes amongst the older generations have pulled the cousins apart. But, Im glad I helped out. Im glad to see the look of relief and joy on my cousin's face after the whole wedding.
Though Im unwilling, yet it seems God is bringing the whole extended Thia family together. There are some people whom you do not want to meet, but God just keeps bringing your paths together. There are people whom you want to spend more time with, but many things separate you. God is really interesting... Well, I can't choose my relatives but I can choose the way I see them and treat them. They are my flesh and blood. They are the beloved of my Lord. And so I know God is teaching me to love my own flesh and blood. If I say I love my Lord, I must also love those around me, especially those who are related to me by blood. Lord, the lessons on love, I've got to learn it for my whole lifetime. But Your love for me compels me to love even the hardest person on earth.
“If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.” 1 John 4:20-21
