Today, went out to eat. Was initially waiting for TT to come home so that can ask her to join us for dinner. Giggles, praise God that we decided to go Hawken to eat because, TT was there with C. After C left, M and D surprised us by joining us for dinner. After which, we brought TT back home and arranged to meet M and S. M and gang turned up instead. But it was good!
Isn't great how God place pple ard...
A platform for support, encouragement...
I love this kind of surprises. Because to me, its like God place people ard to check on us. It's nice... and to just interacting with others. HmmMMm... no matter what. Must always check my own thoughts and actions. For the good of God and others around.
=)
Glad that some people dun feel like a lamp post. Really thankful for that. Heehee. I don't really like others to feel uncomfortable around me. Nothing has changed. I'm still me.
Still have the tendency to make mistakes and fall. So please, in love and kindness correct me if i'm wrong.
Thanks to all!!!

Dispersion of light within
It's really tiring to monitor and observe the thoughts that go through your head.
The multifarious thoughts that enter your head in a second.
So tedious to make sure that the thoughts are well-mannered, not shameful and all.
If thoughts are bad, then it should be becoz the behavious needs to be corrected, becoz its not right before the Lord and not one of self-judgement, perception, bias or stereotypist.
Doable with the help of the Holy Spirit, and the desire in heart to honour God.
It is hard not to pass a judgement or a comment based on a certain action, with gossips and media or singing the same tune. Where the Internet allows us to communicate our thoughts across to one another without giving what we want to say with much thought.
But just becoz its hard, doesn't mean the we stop trying. Just becoz we fail on the first attempt we give up...
Romans 5:3-5 (New International Version)
3Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

"Bee Box"
In this small box, my love,
you’ll not find a ring,
but instead, a brave, little bee.
He’ll be dead by morn, having given his life
defending his flowers against me.
I felt his stingwhile picking the small, purple pansies
growing wild along the roadside,
in hopes of an afternoon bouquet for you.
And I grieved the sting,more for him than me,
knowing full well the price he paid
for my small pain.
And I allowed him his victory,
leaving his flowers as a memory,
and brought you insteadthis brave, little bee,who proves there is love
even in the smallestof things.—Lowell Parker
Sorry if my last entry didn't make alot sense... was busy!

Mid Exams...
Went to work yesterday. Had to work extra hours cause a colleague got pregnent (she's married... in case u were thinking otherwise).
Morning, screw of my spectacles fell out. Grr... well... thankfully it happened at home. The screw is so tiny, i would be even more frustrated if it fell on the road or sth. I'll be frantic and handicapped without my specs.
Late for work. Didn't realise that the jam at the road was this bad... reminds me of the PIE or AYE back home. Hmm.. saw two asian man at the bus stop. They were talking quite loudly. One or them is a Malaysian. Two grown man talking about their frustrations about work and looking for jobs... made me think about work in general. Like, work can be both fun and depressing. They'll be many frustrations and disappointments along the way. More reason for me to build a stronger foundation with God.
Boss never scold despite me being 10min late for work. Phew. But, there were so many new things to learn. ANd, the weather change has seen an increase in the number of drink orders. Bustling once again. Head, shoulder knees and toes... have to coordinate well and be quick.

Be sleepless no more
Psalm 127:22
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows; for so He gives His beloved sleep.
Me, guilty for the times i made statements as such
“I slept only for two hours — I was trying to improve my presentation.”
"I gotta study more, an hour more would be good."
The Bible says that God “gives His beloved sleep”. Who are His beloved? You and I! Because we are in Christ, we are His beloved. (Ephesians 1:6, 2 Thessalonians 2:13)
God is the one who builds your career and guards your marriage. He is the one who watches over your children and future. He is the one who guards your bank account, and watches over your financial investments and business ventures. You are not the one!
So don’t worry and stay up late as if you are the source of the increase or the one who has the power to make things happen and save the situation.
God is the one and He says to you, “My beloved child, throw that care, that burden to Me and go to sleep.” For when you are sleeping, He is working on your situation. He, who neither slumbers nor sleeps (Psalm 121:3–4), works the night shift for you as you sleep!
But because we are such doers and performers, it is hard for us to let go and let God take over. But when we actually do, casting all our cares, anxieties, worries and concerns once and for all into His hands, we will see how He cares for us affectionately and watchfully. (1 Peter 5:7) We will see Him taking care of our problems and working things out for our good. (Romans 8:28)
So trust your Father’s love for you. Cast your cares on Him and have no more sleepless nights!
Something along the same lines as S shared on Saturday. Surrender all.

A little part of me still fearful about exams... I must exercise faith. There is a God, a God who is in control.. ...
