1/6/2009 -- Monday
Today i started on what i wanted to do.
I'm not sure if i slept last night, but i woke up at ard 5am and decided that since i couldn't get to sleep i might as well do sth abt it.
I've always wanted to do my quiet time in the morning. But most of the time i couldn't get up. Perhaps God knew my heart. He knew i needed this time to read His word, meditate and just lean on him for comfort and strength. Usually i'm very grumpy when i don't get to sleep. Today was of no exception, accept that after doing my quiet time i felt somewhat at peace. Thanks to the sms the kids have been sending me, saying that they'll pray for me.
Although it hasn't been easy leading, but its such little moments as such which makes it feel all worthwhile.

AGain i'm not sure if i slept last night. But the weather has been somewhat hot. Perhaps i need to go for a relaxing jog today, cool down. Perhaps that will help?
Need to be more diligent in taking care of myself. More calcium, more iron, more protein! I don't what to be this skinny either... it was nice to read the newspaper yesterday on this columnist who was facing the same problem as me! We are both not trying to lose weight and yes being underweight makes us prone to osteoperosis.
My sister is down with a sore throat. Think she just needs more water and rest. Hope she recovers soon.
Hopefully i can make this day fruitful just as it was yesterday. Looking forward to the jog that i've planned.

DIdn't manage to do the jog that i planned. When i got home, i was too hungry to jog.
5/6/2009 -- Friday
Didn't sleep well last night. Too many things whirlling in my head and just too afraid to take the plunge. I like the tune of TrueHearts being played in their advertisement. The piano piece is really nice. I like it when they show the little girl dancing to the tune. Wish my heart could dance with joy just like her.

Today, i could have met God
Today, i almost got hit by a car. I was walking at a cross junction where the traffic lights were spoilt. And all there was were human traffic controllers. This walk path is the very walk that i take every morning to work. However, today could have been my last.
I've drawn in paint a flow of traffic, and the precarious position that i actually was placed in. I thought the cars had stopped and that it was clear to walk. However, 3/4 across the road, i heard a loud screeching sound made by tyres, followed by a loud crash. I turned my head and saw how close i actually was to heaven.
I think Car A didn't see the human traffic controllers and drove past at high speed. If Car B did not come out fast in enough, i would have been a victim of a fatal accident. Thankful as well that Car B was NOT turning into MY direction. IF not the cars would have swerved and i'll be hit as well.
Praise God that both drivers were fine, and the only price of this occurance were the 2 cars that were badly damaged.

The long weekend... ah choo..
It was suppose to be a happy long weekend, with 2 days mc, it was not.
Down with a bad sore throat and fever and flu (3-in-one) i had to stay home.
I'm not exactly at my best form today. But i still manage to get afew chores done. I'm really proud of myself. Laundry and Washing of dishes. Not to shabby at all.
In addition i manage to do other ad hoc stuff like playing the piano and reading newspaper. Which is all very relaxing and theraputic to me.
There is this kid that lives below me. Everytime i play the piano, he/she will instantenously start playing as well. For all you know, it could have been my playing that inspired the kid to play as well. I remembered afew years back, the playing was terrible. Now this kid has surpassed me, playing the scales as quick as a fiddle. I reckon the kid is now doing his grade 8. That aside, it can be pretty irritating especially when i want to have some peace and quiet.
Linda hopes it wouldn't rain today, i just hung the clothes!!!

Happenings Today
I couldn't see my table, because it was covered with papers.
Paper here, paper there, so much paperwork.
Every now and then pple will ask how much have you done? How's it going?What will you be completing the next hour...etc.
I never dreamt that working life was like this.
I persevered and ended the day on a good note. It always ends on a good note when i finish off on time.
I got home and my sis accompanied me on a refreshing walk.
I've watched the news, with Italy in rumbles, L'auila bearing the brunt of the earthquake.Lives are lost, many are homeless.It's the same thing that happens when disaster strikes. A sign of the end times is coming?
My little sis made an interesting point. Perhaps God is angry that the church is no longer like a church.No longer like his bride, hence in his anger he shook the city. Maybe.
The things that i take for granted. I know that i have never worried about quakes.The closest it comes to are tremours and floods.
"Lord please bring comfort and hope to those who are affected."

Forgive me Lord
The presence of God overwhealmed me everytime when i am sitted before the cross.
The holiness, purity that made me whole humbles me.
Forgive me Lord, for the times that you were not given the due respect and awe.
For the times where i chose the ways i thought were right in this world and neglected your ways.
For not surrendering my entire life, for every breath i breathe belongs to you.
If i had boasted in my abilities, for there is nothing i can achieve without you.
If i have not been kind/sincere to those around me.
Father, may i give you the praise you deserve and be devoted to reading your word.
That in my life, i'll be able to serve your pple and that you'll be exolted in the highest.
The sec 1s are getting alot better. I was caught by surprise that they were quietly listening to what i was teaching. I didn't think it would be this great. Praise God.
I'm going to be brave and bring this gorup to another level. To do that would require splitting them into smaller groups of 4s or 5s. It'll be challenging, but i can only pray that they will cooperate. It'll bring their sharing and closeness a notch up. So we'll see how it goes, will discuss with my co CGL.
Global Warming: It's everywhere isn't it? Whether you are rich or poor, you'll be affected by mother's nature. So, there was Earth Hour yesterday. Did you off your light between 8:30 to 9:30? I did too. Small act from mankind, huge leap for mother nature.

This Friday was the best
Usually my Fridays are not so good. Late nights and all that.
Friends asked my out for a meet up, get together but i turned it down. But i knocked off on time today!!! I quickly packed my things and left.
Instead of meeting up with my friends, i went for a good jog. The weather was great. It's nice, quiet, if only everyday was like that.
I need to exercise more regularly now. Am noticing that i'm easily out of breath. Maybe its the stress at work. Anyways, a healthy balanced lifestyle is what i hope to achieve. I never like the office. So cold, so lonely, so unappreciataed.
I was reading through Psalms today and it talked about Praising Him for all that He has done. And to take heed in His word. I can really feel my heart praising Him. I haven't had time like that for a long time.
Tomorrow will be another run, and followed by maybe a haircut? Well.. i'll see how it goes.
As for those out there struggling in your work, don't give up hope.
Maybe your boss is giving you tons of pressure, maybe they are squeezing you to cut cost and yet work more. Whatever it may be, don't give in to the stress. God will handle it for us. Each and everyday will be more than just a day. If we show kindness, offer our friendship and sincere thankfulness, the world will become a happier place to live in. That is possible because every little act of kind thoughts make a difference.

Random Thoughts
I was crossing the overhead bridge on my way back home when i saw this little boy eating some snacks like cheeseball. He dropped one on the floor. It rolled and he ran after it. So i though he was going to pick it up. But no... he ran after it only to step on it! Thought the normal reaction was to just leave it and walk away.
Maybe his rationale for stepping on it was so that it would be easier for the ants to carry food back to their nests?? OR he just simply enjoyed chasing his snack and then stepping on it. HmmmMMMmm.....
