testimony!!!

today (tues) began with a proclamation at 2 am: "it's going to be a goooooddd day!"

this is what happened.

my good mood lasted till the train ride to Boon lay. it sort of lasted through the good worship session (we were late so no praise session for us! =\). then it vanished when i wanted pastor to justgiveatwohourbreakforgoodnesssakescosI-AM-SO-TIREDDDDDDD.

i just know Pst Meng caught me in various sleeping poses at the back row. praise the Lord.

next, grumpiness followed me back to Pasir Ris MRT. where i unchained my bike, left a 'tsk' for the person who threw a used tissue on my bike, swung my leg over to begin pedaling... ... and realized someone stole my bike seat (by the way, this is a common phenomenon this year so be warned Easties!). (!) let's see, i dunno why i was kinda blank. there was anger, but i also felt this funny reaction of wanting to laugh. like, so ridiculous. my life is becoming a drama. so everything balanced out and i was blank till i'd walked halfway home. then i felt nothing but sweat.

so ok, look so stupid pushing a bike with 2 wheels. so i start riding the bike in this weird position as if i were sitting down on this air seat (look what look, the newest invention k, invisible seat!). but seriously, butt MUSCLES (ahem) ache!!! ah, then i started getting a little pissed at the thief. went home, got a semi-i know it's not really your fault but a little bit still your fault - lecture from my dad.

set the pot on the stove for tom yam noodles (the reason why i was rushing home... to my feel good session of maggi mee). rushed to undress & got a message from my colleague to meet at orchard mrt to pass her the presents for 2 other colleagues (i'm in partner enthusiastic team.. birthdays, outings.. etc.), which were to be presented today because it was their BIRTHDAY & there was a store meeting. So. I took the pot off the stove, bye bye happy session, and trying to think happy thoughts, proceeded to finish sewing (6 years after my last home-ec class) the green aprons for the gifts.

then, get this, this is the funny part, i took a nap of five minutes that prolonged itself to 3 hrs. so ring ring goes the handphone & aileen calls and ask, 'where are you?' i'm thinking, 'what?where?who?how?' & then everything floods in.

IT'S730PMMEETINGCOLLEAGUEAT530MEETINGTHERESTAT800PMAHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

that mental conversation repeated itself while i furiously smsed 'sorry! sorry!' messages all around for 15 minutes. meanwhile, my legs were bringing me to the wardrobe, to the toilet, where i engaged in some table-pounding, and finally i was ready to get on the cab (ka-ching!) to the meeting place with the rest of the subzone connect group leaders.

so ok, yay, nice taxi uncle. so blank mood comes back while i do further sms-ing to make restitution now, beyond my endless sorries and chest-thumpings. so talk talk talk... reach alr, swipe card pls i'm broke and dun wanna know the state of my account thanks uncle. and for 10 minutes, he attempted to get the stupid reader to accept and approve my card. until the people waiting outside walked off in disgust. until i also slapping my head thinking, 'dramadramadrama talk abt a series of unfortunate events'. then i promised the nice uncle that i'd transfer the money to him instead and rushed out...

to stand outside the condo for 30-40 minutes, calling and waiting for someone, SOMEONE to direct me to the precise meeting place. finally, after struggling between anger and taking responsibility for my own failure to manage my time and thus land me in the beginning of this tribulatious day... i walk up to the quite nice security uncle who told me without much ado (T.T) that the 'group of young people' supposedly going for a 'party is it?', were in which block and which unit.

and there, i met God again. hai... God... a bit too dramatic right.

but yeah. God likes a show, that He knows ends well. so i must 'perform' well and respond right. Amen!


lesson learnt... ok God? ok? ^^D

There must be more than this Oh breath of God come breathe within There must be more than this Spirit of God we wait on You Fill us anew we pray Fill us anew we pray Consuming fire fan into flame A passion for Your name Spirit of God won't You fall in this place Lord have your way Lord have your way in us Stir it up in our hearts Lord Stir it up in our hearts Lord Stir it up in our hearts Lord a passion for your name As Sy Rogers said today, there are things we can look back on, our memorial stones, that encourage us and give us strength to move forward. I rmb a time I was so far away and so tired of people in general, cos really it's relationships that really get me down - n when Jean would walk in on me crying or just sitting and not even having the energy to do stuff, she would listen n say 'just cry out to God alright?' and that would be the last thing i wanted to hear. sometimes you know what to do, and you know what the advice will be, but when the emotions are n...

on mountains and perspective

Kept awake by a bout of traveler's diarrhea and the ensuing abdominal colic. Just been back from an attempt at Mount Kinabalu, 'highest mountain in Southeast Asia'. Okay, those apostrophes are there out of bitterness... it really is the highest mountain in Southeast Asia. And I couldn't even attempt the summit. Made it to the base camp at 3067 m though... that's what it says on my black-and-white certificate - colored ones are only for successful summit-ers.  Crrr! But I made it back with my life. And I'm humbler for the attempt, though how could I resist the parting shot: "I'll be back!"? But on a more serious note, it's an awesome thing, a beautiful gift to be able to get out there into as natural a surrounding you can get (without dying a slow tv-less death from cold, altitude sickness, projectile vomit and did I mention cold?). It truly seems like one never can be happy - despite all my first-world comforts, I'd gladly pay to painf...

RAVE POST

So many things to thank God for! Sometimes during CG though, i'll be like, eh i know i have something to share but what(?!?!) during testimony time. Lol.. ok, just a list cos it's 0133 and there's church this morning (YEA!) so a bit 'seh~' (my new word =D) 1. God as in, not in the 'ya must put God first in everything so yea, here it is, evidence. gr.' but really, this year's emerge, with Pst's Sermon on the Mount series preparing the way, it really did it. And the fact that God pursues us with His love, even surrounding non-believers with his common grace, so that whether most believe in God or not they will still be able to live life successfully. The evidence is all there. Forgot to pray? yea, but He still shows up. I finally feel like I'm starting to see colors, breathe fresher air, move more freely.. and like the song; Better than the riches of this world, Better than the sound of my friends' voices, Better than the biggest dreams of my h...
