"Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty;

not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some."

the night is still young...

sunday... it was an experience for me... my first vision! imagine that! it was like a non-stop light and even drizzle with a slight breeze so the droplets of rain were going one way... ok some ppl are skeptical and so was I! I am not entirely sold out on "spiritual only" matters but if they are backed up by scripture then yes, i will buy it... like the week before, I got "God dwells in the praises of His people" and i found a scripture for this (ps 22:3). similarly, i shall look for scriptural backing for this and seek to understand what the LORD wants to tell me...

today was a VERY productive day using my hands more than my mouth... for a change! hehe! my right thumb hurts tho... will rest it shortly..

my car is still in the blitz.... oh, let this be the last of my car woes! thank God i have fren who will part with car for me to use when i need it! feel special indeed!

josh and joel are off to "the learning rooms" tomorrow for web design and robotics! see what they come home with... i mean knowledge and stories!

moving on..

things seemed a little more routine today... thank God!

went thru my day with many chores altho most were not fully accomplished, yet i am pleased that i got much done!

been talking to ppl in emails and sms-es, a form of communication that i am very reliant on and find very useful. i think that it is nice when ppl sms us to know how we are and stuff, and if there is need for more to be said that it be done by phone or face to face...

i can imagine if i were back at work, trying to meet some deadline and then a fren calls just to ask how i am. i think would scream.... i can't talk now! got to go! seems so rude but with sms, i could reply later or when the crisis were over... i would be able to give my fren the attention they deserve... dunno if everyone feels that way...

finished dinner at home with the usual fried egg, steamed siakap, kwai tau and herbal soup with rice. pck is at shepherd's heart. the kids are at tv, as usual. need to find them a better pastime... sigh..

need to pray for -
1. gavin's wife, annette
2. uncle lim and family

maybe my fren will bring me some durian tonight! yummy!

... in the beginning ...

I have finally done it! My first posting in my very own journal... blog sounds too upbeat for an aunty... maybe later when I get used to hearing the sound of it!

I still remember that it was Jon (Jr) who enlightened me on what a blog was... i never thot i would be using this facility yet here i am...
Thought that the blog name was appropriate seeings that i couldn't really begin at the beginning and all.... ok, i agree, sometimes my jokes can only be appreciated by me! Well, it IS my space now! muahaha!

Still thinking what i should be posting on this besides merely my thoughts.

oh ya! my day! it is like pck's last day of a week of leave... sob! we had tom yum under the tree in pj old town with the kos for dinner... yummy but rather spicy esp. today!

And we got back from a 2D1N trip to genting hilands yesterday. it was joel's first time there and he sure had fun! josh did too! i hope aaron and sarah did as well!

PCK was sick so he wasn't much fun, nor did he have fun... so many korean bbq restaurants in genting yet he was not well enuf to have any! so near and yet so far!

Back to today. Met Leon and co. for lunch. Had fun catching up altho' it was too short a time to really do much talking (my fav pastime... need to update profile! ;-P)

Ps Mal spoke to me this evening and shared something wonderful today! good news about a mutual friend seeing the light at the end of a tunnel. PTL! Also, divine revelation! i was very encouraged and could appreciate the goodness of the LORD even more than before!

Also did something hard today... ask someone to forgive me and apologise... it is hard but necessary so i did it. i guess that i am infallible after all and made a mistake, God forbid! sometimes these mistakes can be so so costly...
