BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's my brother's BIRTHDAY today!!!!!!!!!!! September 19th! He turned 26 this year. I'm happy that he got to spend his birthday with his someone special-Soo Ling. I sure do miss him though we're not the closest brother and sister. He's still the only brother i've got! =))

FUNNY GUY!!

Hahaaa..i almost forgot to write this. We were in the kitchen last night wanting to cook and pack for lunch the next day. Before we started cooking, we had to put away the pots, plates and cups in the dish dryer from the night before.

I was telling Tom about my 'new' favorite song. I was excited to play Ronan Keating's song on the Ipod for him that i really enjoyed at work that day. If you're curious about what song, I played "Lovin Each Day" by Ronan Keating. I was sooooo excited. I turned up the speakers and turn to face Thomas...

He cracked me up! He started dancing and grooving to the music. And as usual i laugh..then he went on and on. And then, he picked up a little silver pot and started dancing with it..and used it as a mike! He's soooo funny!!!

I was really impressed. He can dance!! Hahaaa..for those of you who didn't know he could! HAhahahhahahaaaa...

You can try to make him dance for you, but i think it will never be the same! Phenomenal!

heeheee..

Small Group!

We went to our first small group EVER since we joined this church. We have put it off for the longest time because of various reasons: we don't know anyone, we didn't have the time etc etc. BUT finally, when Pr. Melissa approached me 2 days ago about this small group she's starting today for newly weds, we knew it was time for us to be plugged into a small group. Not that it wasn't 'time' before..but we both knew that we should this time!

We went for the first meeting tonight. It was so good. We didn't look at any curriculum tonight, but we had a good time getting to know new couples, new people in the church. We had a good time.A "jolly-good-time" a British will say? =)

Okay..it's late. We're going to bed. yawnnnnn...

Pet Peeve

We're all learning something new about ourselves each other. Recently, i found out what really ticks me off..BIG TIME! INJUSTICE and someone who doesn't keep his/her word.

Injustice in my own words..when something is done in an unfair manner. I'm a very strong advocate that one should carry out his/ her responsibility thoroughly. I cannot stand when one does not do things 'right'. A lot of times, i will review in my mind what the right thing is..or what i would do if i were in that position etc etc. I get so mad when i see INCONSISTENCY in the way a person handles things.

And really, i think that my intolerance towards injustice has a close link to my aggravation towards someone who doesn't keep his/ her word. When someone does not deliver what he promised me he will do, i get really upset. And i mean..REALLY upset. I think that he should NOT even give me his word in the first place if he wasn't planning on keeping his word. How disrespectful to lead someone to trust that you will keep your word and then only to let them down.

I know that not everyone out there gets ticked-off by such people..but i really have a hard time with people like that. Yes, God is full of GRACE and MERCY. But like i said..these are things that i found out about myself recently. Yeah, i need to be gracious..but how much better this place would be..if things are done rightly/fairly/justly..and people deliver what their words promise to.

Sigh..anyways. That's my frustrations right now..just thought i could let out some constant thoughts in my heart.

Is It Really Possible?

I'm at home right now, resting from a full day of being in front of the computer screen. Have been thinking today..is it really possible to work and study at the same time? Is it possible to be newly weds, adjusting to a new life and still take time to study? Not to mention the work load involved for ministry? What about the money for school fees? One semester's school fees here is similar to what one needs to pay for 3 years of Public University's fees back home.

YET..in saying all that. I searched deep within..and i'm forced to ask myself this question: do i believe that i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me? Do i really believe God when He said "NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD"? Do i believe that I am made in His image? Do i believe that i can achieve and excel in the dreams and hopes that He has put in my heart? Do i believe that I am the head and not the tail? Do i believe that when i am weak, that's when He's strong?

"I DO!" I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and He is my Provider!!
