Went to Putney Bridge's High Street to visit Barclays. Saw Odeon Cinema - same name as the one that Singapore had in the 70's and 80's along South Bridge Road.

Chilly last night. When I woke, saw pastel frost on the field, which quickly vanishes as the morning sun arose - oh good, haven't seen the sun for some time. Did some shadow play with the sun after that.

It is written in ABBA's Word, in Proverbs 4:18 that the path that ABBA paves for me in Christ Jesus shines like the first gleam of dawn - and He promises that it will continue to shine brighter and brighter until the perfect day. I appreciate the sun and am eternally grateful for The Son.

In Singapore, my eldest sis bought me a personal trampoline for circulatory exercise. When I discovered that the bed here in London is sturdy and of good quality - I have been doing my daily bouncing in the mornings. I feel like a child again bouncing on beds and sofas!

Spring weather in London is extremely unpredictable. Sunshine one moment and grey clouds sweep in with dense rain in another moment. Went libray this evening and spied a rainbow. It disappeared immediately before I could say "one more"!

When I was in the Netherlands where bikes are aplenty, I always find pieces of bicycle parts strewn on the streets. I found and kept these two latex pieces using them as non-slip coasters. Now in London, I found another use for the non-slip property: to prop up books so that they don't slide down - for a more ergonomic reading angle.

Roehampton U has sprawling grounds and is very scenic - some pics attached.

Is it cherry or is it apple?

Trees bearing small, abundant and pretty white or pink flowers are all over the place.

But no one is able to tell me are they cherry or apple blossoms, or something else.

Anyway - ABBA created them - and I love the sight!

ABBA even gave them a soft fragrance - excellent!

Our London Course Convenor invited us to his house for dinner - we had samosas for appetizers, then lamb curry with baked potatoes and fresh salad. Dessert was overwhelming - cakes, chocolate, fruit punch, ice cream and turkish delights. I washed it down with a glass of vintage rose wine. We also saw some stereoscope pictures produced before the turn of the last century. I'm grateful to ABBA for drawing us together tonight. When I came back to the flat, I sat in silence looking out of my bedroom window into the field and lake. There was a soft rain falling. I just felt so loved by ABBA. He promised that He'll love me with His everlasting love!

Spring flowers are budding.

Spotted a remarkably early rose spray in full bloom.

I felt like ABBA winking at me and saying: Beloved, rare roses for you!

1st Sunday since returning to London.

Went out for a walk and some photos.

Found a cosy spot to worship and meditate.

Strange pose, you may say.

As I worshipped and confessed Scriptures over my life, I also combined light movements and sign language.

ABBA's Words is Life in my life - praise ABBA!

(photo taken using timer - it is Sunday and I literally have the grounds to myself with no one to help me take snapshots)

(Photos taken in Prague)

The Prague shops that has large apothcary glass jars are not selling, from first impressions as a Singaporean, traditional Chinese herbs and medicine.

They are selling tea leaves and coffee! Tea in Czech language is 'caj' and pronounced 'cha' - just like Mandarin! Coffee is 'kava'.

- Some pictures around my dorm.

- Daffodils, cherry blossoms and cassia are all blooming - the Bible says the firmament showeth His handiwork!

- Esti bought a huge chicken. I dressed it and put it into the oven - we all had roast tonight - thank ABBA for roast chicken!

It was already 3:30pm by the time we reached and checked into Roehampton Uni's dormitory.

A long journey, a long day ...
