4th September 2006,
5.05pm Monday. Has been a long holidays 4days, 3 nite in Singapore. Long holidays, sweet and sour memories. There's a phrase: To write the hurts on the sand, and crave the blessings on the stone, something like that. I shouldn't have write it in the blog, probably the brief one. Singapore trip still a good trip after all that happen. It's tiring, yet fulfilling. I was blessed, and hurt at the same time. Yet all that happen is meant something- a lesson to learn. I see the world is just so big, many many people, different in character- weakness to able to acccept. I just realise I wasn't a patience person, I can just see the fault in others yet I discover the real flaw in myself which require correction. A person that is bitter inside, and have yet to learn the art of forgiveness, self confidence. I was so mindful of what others said about me, the comments others posted to me on my character, and entertain the thought that I'm not well enough. There's a saying: What you say is who you are. And if I continue to be like that, it will destroy whatever good things the Lord want to do in my life.
Sweet memories- meeting up with Heong Beng, and he shared with us how the Lord lead him in the workplace, how he manage to get leave for his wedding anniversary, and how the Lord continue to speak to him in his circumstances. I learn frm him, a childlike faith, a nice man. I meet up with Olivia, she's 7 months pregnant. Wow, so fats huh? She drove me back from Orchard to Yishun and we cook pasta together for dinner. Nice home, well decorated with small little garden. We chatted and watch Singapore Idol till about 10.30pm then they drop me at Yishun MRT. I took MRT back Bukit Gombak, and waited 1 1/2 hours for Felix to come back to open the door. Angry, exhausted but still able to sleep well.
Next day, meet up with Dr Teoh. Catch up for a while on the updates, and he showed us his little daughter's picture. Very nice, cute. Then go around Suntect City and Esplanade, after that take a MRT back Johor all by myself. Have a great fellowship with Celina, and her CGL Katrynn, then Saturday back Singapore to take bus back Penang. Reached Pg 6.00am, back home sleep a while, then wake up to go church for ushering. Thanks my holidays. Sweet and Sour...anyhow it's still enjoyable holidays.
