You will never realise this person or this particular thing is important to you until you missed it or thankfully, you almost missed it. At times, I just take it for granted for the things around me. Sometimes, I take it for granted that God gave me a wonderful family, wonderful cousins, a bunch of good friends or even your precious things like, mayb bag or watches..
My mum was admitted to hospital just last week and she was there for almost a week. I really take it for granted for how much she contributed to this family. She was in the hospital and I volunteered myself to do the housework.. Wash the dishes, iron the clothes, hang up the clothes after I've washed them and on. I can really say that its time consuming and tough work. When you wake up in the morning, all you think about is to hurry up finish the laundry. Yeap, I should be preparing for my exams and it still sucks that the school actually ended this semester rather late. There's totally not much time for studies and I still have to finish the housework. Even though my brothers take it for granted that I will do it, I still do it. I think it's the love for this house that keeps me going.
I think the reason that my mum was admitted to hospital really bond the family together. When she is at the hospital, brother will call me up and ask whether I'm going down to pay her a visit. It truly shows how much our mum really means to us. Now, the hardly seen brother will stay at home when he has the time. I'm glad for that.
Praying for wisdom as I study. Amen.
Do you believe God exist?
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists." "Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving a God who would allow all of these things." The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist." "How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!" "No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside. "Ah, but barbers DO exist! " answered the barber. " What happens, is,people do not come to me. " "Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
Argh. I'm kind irritated by what had just happened. Just received my posting for attachment and I was praying so hard that it will be the next time round. That sadly means that my dreams to go hong kong and cruise is all over. My club advisor actually nominated me for an exchange programme to hong kong and also a leadership camp which is on Super Star Virgo to Thailand. Cool right.? I was so damn excited for both but I have to say goodbye. Argh!
Have you wonder.. is a friend of your's really a friend of your's? I always thought that friends are people that will help you in times of need. I always thought that they are the morale and spirit booster when you really needed one. I always thought that friends are people that we can share problems with. But NO!. I experienced a total different thing. What's a friend when he always laugh at you when you are struggling. What's a friend when he always takes you as a laughing stock. What's a friend when he always thinks that he is better than you. I almost loose my cool when he got onto my nerves just now. But thank God, I didn't. I think that friends are really the ones that helped you out when you are really struggling. They will laugh and play with you like crazy but of coz, be sensititve to some of the things you say. I'm really sensitive when it comes to that. It can be rather hurting.
Today is one of the few days that I'm really spiritually down. Everything went wrong but I still thank God for the coffee club session though I'm still in bitterness.
Projects due next week. Presentation next week. Exams in two weeks. Attachment in three weeks.
I'm gonna depend so much on His grace. God, you give me strength and favour.
Was at SP's Dinner and Dance just last night. Flying Dutchman is really a cool, humorous and friendly guy. He was the MC for the event and I've got to talk to him for a short while. hmm.. PM Lee is really tall guy. I think the rest of the world might be thinking how come Singapore's leader are so tall. Bodyguard is quite a cool job. Was talking to some of them and they are really mature people. Swissotel's food is simply delicious. Even their packet food is displayed in high class way and i think it's the best packed food I've eaten. So much so for the event.
I feel like going HM5! God, you provide the way.
