Subway Scene

There's a reason why people say that mothers are the most noble people on earth, I couldn't agree more, especially after what mom did for me on Friday. I had my usual cramps (time of the month) and I realised that I didn't bring my painkillers. (By the way for those who think Ponstan is strong, it used to work for me but now I'm using melox) Thankfully mom decided to pass me my meds during lunch hour, and that seriously touched my heart. She could dispense with all the inconvenience but she still came through for me. Awwwh.. anyway it's mom's birthday tomorrow, Happy Birthday Mom!

A bunch of us headed off to Suntec for dinner after youth service. Liji decided to use my crappy camera (in comparison with his equipment) to take some quick shots. Well, a skill will always be a skill. He managed to take a stunning food shot (right) despite using my 'crappy' camera. Ha!

Get Well Soon Zen!

Dear and I visited Zen in the hospital after his operation, which thankfully was a success! Poor Zen is now stuck at home, enduring the pain, and enjoying his very own slow paced life.

We wish you a speedy recovery Zen! Will keep you in prayers for healing :)

Here's a card that I've made for Zen and stuck it with a nice metal basket containing fruits wrapped with nice cellophane paper. Too bad I didn't take a picture of the nice fruit basket, it was my effort, sweat, and brain juice!

(Quote from Zen) "I received a hamper from Lionel & Grace, even my mum went, 'awwwww, is tt spongebob u?" Yes silly, if not why would Spongebob need a cast and crutches? Lol :)

Special Someone

I don't know what's gotten into me. The lazy bug, the fatigue wave, and the intermittent cramps/indigestion. Surprisingly, nothing seems to be done as I willingly succumb myself to the waves of fatigues; slowly but subtly letting my energy drain from away from my body. 7 hours of sleep seems inadequate, yet I don't see the rationale of sleeping as early as before 11pm because it seems like time is just lost in sleep. I'd rather do something else like watching the telly or surf the net.

Such is life, a never-ending vicious cycle we go through each day.

Any how, wanna thank Vannie for shaking some sense in me. Emo is no good seriously, but it seems to run in the genes of most females. For me, poor eL has to suffer both emo and pms. Lucky thing he has his way of working around it hah. But truly, emo-ing is just another way the devil use to manifest his lies and schemes in our vulnerable minds. That's why we need to be our brother/sister's keeper. Cause many of us are actually suffering beneath our smiles, tolerating beneath our services in ministry, holding back these thoughts and feelings and yet going through the motion in life. I was that person, I didn't relish in talking about it, or wanting people to probe. But it only takes the right time, the right person to step in and shake some sense or give a slap or truth before I sink deeper and deeper into despair and depression. Yes, I thank God for my sisters who have been watching over me, keeping my foothold and my walk with God right. And thankfully, it is always the sisters that somehow have the ability to speak sense and truth in gentleness. That's all I need at that moment of time, not some lecture or nagging session. So here am I, the survivor of yet another emo war. Thank God I survived.

Anyways I just can't wait for church camp. I hope this round, I can enjoy my fair share of relaxation above all the fun and games. I need a getaway! *garrgjhgjh*

Someone (you know who you are if you are reading this lol) once asked me:"Grace, do you believe that God specially created a special someone for you to be with?"

"Yes," I replied without a doubt.

"No, I don't think so. Cos all it takes is for 1 person to screw up by marrying the wrong person and the rest of the marriages will all be haywire."

I then ask eL the same question and he agreed with me that he believes that God created a special someone for him. *blush* and I asked him why was he so sure. He replied:"It only needed adam and eve to make one mistake and look at us now. God created a special someone for us because He wants to give us the best. That's why in marriages in the vows it says 'God has preordained this.." because your partner is part of God's plan. Assuming if we don't follow God's plan, we choose our partners in our own strength and wisdom, we will be choosing the second best from what God has originally planned for us. But God will still allow it to happen, just that probably you will be living second best choices all your life. God is only one way, that's why there is alone one person that He has planned for you. "

Wow. I still remembered what I prayed for when I cried myself to sleep the night I broke up with _______. And thankfully yet surprisingly, he answered all my prayers :)

Kindness for Jesus

"A little kindness can change the world for Jesus."

Those were the words that rang in my heart when I offered to share my umbrella with a malay woman beside me on the way to work. Her eyes filled with gratitude as she looked at me and agreed. Just like that, I felt the touch of her hand on my shoulders as we cuddled under an umbrella to get as much coverage as possible. Even though it was a short distance, just 2 buildings and a pedestrian crossing to be precise, I felt good and warm despite the cold raindrops on my arms and legs.

Thank God I took the initiative to ask her, because I knew that my heart would be overwhelmed with regret and guilt if I didn't. Throughout the walk with her, she still cracked a light tease of how I should cover myself more because she has a tudung. Still, I smiled at her and didn't budge. I'm neither a Samaritan nor a Saint, but just an ordinary person who wants to offer a little bit of kindness, just like Jesus.
