Our church's putting up a musical 15 and 16 Dec from 7pm onwards! Come one, come all!
You'll need tickets although admission's free. There's a reason for this but you'll need to come to find out what it is! Most of the information is on the poster already, so squint and see!
It has been raining BUCKETS of late! I think the monsoon season really hit Subang this year far worse than the previous years! I like the cool weather and the fact that I don't need to water my plants, shower 3-4 times a day but it is ridiculous when the guard house roof gets completely blown off!
Yes, it is rather windy and it can only be called a storm when the roads look more like rivers and at 40 km per hour, one simply can't see further than one's car bonnet when driving! I am now especially thankful that I drive a 4x4! And they tell me Subang is high ground!
Some "noteworthy" developments in my household includes two disturbing facts. Firstly, my dog is super "manja" since her attack BUT has now resorted to sleeping on the couch when we aren't looking!! Bad, bad, bad! So we need to undo a bad habit there!
Secondly, my supposedly wonderful cat has lost her status of privilege (getting to hang around in our bedrooms) ... What did she do? She "PS-ed" (shit!) smack in the middle of my bed yesterday!! On my beautiful, "ng seh tuck yoong", brand new comforter cover given to me as Christmas present last year by my good friend in Shanghai. She had it specially made for me, to match the bedsheet, pillowcases, etc and I was just keeping it, not wanting to use it up till now and this happens! (By the way, it is soft white cotton with 2 light shades of green leaves embroidered on)
Aiyoooh, and pck nearly slept on it! He is blind as a bat once his glasses are off and yes, he does take them off when he plonks himself on the bed!!!! Ewwwww, it would have been far worse if he had kena-ed it! I dare not think of the cat stew we would have had to eat if he had!!!!! He would have killed her, after he regained consciousness, threw up, etc... yes, he is rather icky about blood, gore and such but far worse is....... faeces!
So, yes this is life of late in the phua household...
There is this thing people keep on spending much time, money, effort, emotions, etc. over.... our appearance. It is so important to look good, look young, look this, look that.. yes, i am one of those who happen to care too...
My concern is not if it matters, it does but how much does it really matter to us?
Comfort and beauty is important to me. If I had only one choice to make, it'd be comfort. Perhaps some people may not agree with me. Ok, so I do wear heels but I am particular that the footwear gives me good support, somthing I can wear for at least 4 hours non-stop without killing me, for example.
One's age seems to be important in so far as corresponding looks are concerned I guess. For example, one would not want to look 40 when you are 14... Conversely, one would not look good being 40 and trying to look 14....
I face some questioning every time people see me and my 4th sister with me. Almost always the question would be "Oh you are sisters! Which one of you is older?" My sister happens to be a head turner then and now.. She also happens NOT to look her age! The rest of us, mere mortals, have had bask in the shadow of her beauty so to speak.. but see, the thing is this... she happens to be beautiful inside as well as out, so we are blessed to be related even! ;-)
It is interesting though, to see how people react to my "tantrums" once this question is posed and how they try to "get out" of it, so to speak! Yes, I do make a ruckus even if it's only a slight one. Perhaps, the first time I was asked, it did upset me a tad, I must admit but I have since rationalised that I look more ahem "mature" even when I was younger... born "lau lang" so to speak..
So, how important is appearance? God says that He does not look at the outward appearance but at our hearts. We too must be careful not to allow ourselves to be carried into putting more importance into our appearance than what we fill in our hearts.. I love my sister to bits, am ever grateful to her for her love, support, generosity, humor, prayers and petitions on my behalf, her wisdom, encouragement, guidance, rebuke even at times and her insight into my life! I am truly blest to have such a "beautiful" God-given sister!
ok, here's why my DISC Profiling went whacko... aunty dunno how to subtract...
so, actually there is NO CHANGE in my profiling from 2003. I remain a CSDI..
phew...
I think my church elder said this about Personality Profiling...
