haha, from the title, could have guessed that today had been an unlucky day for me!! met with several not-so-pleasantly surprising incidents. and the worse thing that happened was that I dropped my laptop from the chair!! and the LCD screen broke. Went to 8 flags to ask whether it can be repaired and the cost is $550!! that is not including gst btw. That's more than 25% cost of the laptop! probably can get a netbook at IT fair already. anyway, still thankful that its still working, just that with an ugly screen. just bear with it for 2.5 years more and probably i don't have to use it anymore. At least its not cracked until i can't see anything. Basically it is still working, just that not so nice.
yea, just 'whined' to xingyi about it and she say the crack looks abit artistic!! haha yup, must be thankful about the things i have.
hmm. recess week just started. i guess i really need to plan it well cos i really want to make use of this time to catch up with many things and really recharge to carry on the next half of the semester and conquer it better than the first half.
Anyway just also want to share something that is on my mind. Ytd during CG meet, sengkim encouraged us to fast lunch together as a caregroup for the whole of next week. i realise i was abit relieved cos i don't have to worry about what to eat!! (especially cos its recess week, i don't have excuse to not cook my meals) haha. cos there's quite a lot of frozen food that mum and dad left behind. haha they are really scared we'll starve to death!! haha yea, but i think i do worry my mum quite abit cos everytime they go over to m'sia, i'll fall sick. and that time during visit, my relatives all comment i become so much skinnier so my mum is worried that i don't get good nutrition when she's not around. yup, but i realise that i'm really lazy. Everytime i just don't know what to prepare to cook! haha i don't enjoy cooking after all (unless maybe it takes 15mins and everything is one pot/saucepan/oven!!haha). This is really weird, haha i'm like enjoying for fasting for a wrong reason! But still need to go back to the meaning of a fast. It is to deny myself of something and to seek God to fill me. Yup, so since i already know there is some other weird reason for me to fast, i need to be extra careful and make sure i stay on track!

school semester has been tough... didn't really have time to take a break and that explains the lack of posts... Getting started on doing more things and definitely not adapting to them all yet =( but still have to just try and try.. one of my dad's fish just died T.T dunno izzit cos we never take care properly...
Anyway want to share about my excitement in this (still considered new) year, with the embarkment of ID2010 meaning 2010 being a year of intentional discipleship. Amazed that God is detailed to give us a direction to follow =) and it really gives me a whole lot of assurance that God will do something, He will do something and He will do something! And this is really something i really need in my own season of life. God just revealed to me more and more about my insecurity and lack of faith in Him and even distrust in Him. It was a painful time discovering but i guess without these pain, there won't be this drive to overcome! Emotions really adds the 'push' for us to do something. I truly believe that in this case God made used of my emotions to show me this and that just goes back to show what a meticulous God He is!!
Even though it says in Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?", after all, God is the one who created us with emotions and allow us to feel certain things. The dictionary definition of deceitful is illusory and fallacious, this means the heart is misleading, but it is not wrong. It is not wrong to have emotions, just that they can mislead you. So the point is not to force yourself to be emotion-less, but to honour God despite your emotions. Like what i did, it was painful but i chose to face it with God and not run away from it or to cover it up, and i'd say it led to something good, cos i know what's the direction for me to grow in =)
Your emotions reflect your one true passion only. True? If not, what else? Why?
A question that i pondered. I have no idea yet, feel free to contribute haha =D
