what a beautiful day to start the month.

ok, before i begin, i think i should add this haha... firstly, want to thank jonathan and matthew too who contributed to my birthday present. i had a great time listening to the cd (you 3 got me) today, THANKS!

den in the recent jogjar earthquake, my maid's sister and her family's house crumbled. thank God most of them got out on time and her heroic husband who rushed in to saved the kids, though he and the kids suffered some injuries, they are doing fine in hospital and her brother who was sent by the company to jarkarta a day before the earthquake was saved while 13 of his friends died. in that, i just have to praise the Lord for his hands of protection over my maid's family.

Acts 16:31

They replied "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved - you and your household."

I'm truly seeing God's work being done in my maid's life and i believe one day, all her family will come to know Christ! AMEN!

as for me, I AM BLESSED INDEED! it is just that i've been living in blessings that i do not realise them and i would look to others and see how blessed they are and compare myself. but if i really compare, i live in a safe country, i do not suffer from poverty, no wars, no epidemics, i have a proper and loving family, i have everything a person needs, most of all, i have Jesus in my heart. =)

i was suppose to leave my house with my dad this morning but i was too tired so i slept in. my dad came to my bed to wake my up, handed me $50 for no apparent reason, i was too much in my sleepy mood, i dun remember what i asked him haha...

left the house about 2 hours after waking up, had to go to ICA to extend my passport. met sheena on the way. hahaha...

ok, when i arrived, there was a stinking long queue, i practically stood there for 2 hours!!! i recieved my number tab "7596" looked up at the board, "7424". MY WORD! thank God i brought along my readers' digest and gameboy. went round msging pple too.. ha... esther foong was like of no help, she replied soooooooooooo slow! haha.. and i was like crapping with jonathan.

after i got it done, i needed to go down to the bank to replace my atm card and at the same time wanted to apply for a debit card (not sure of the speling ha.. ), so city hall was the nearest.

did not feel like going home so walked around and did some window shopping. checked out cds and books. at the bookstore in city link, i practically sat there an hour reading some IQ testing book hahaha... was fun la! hahaha... den right under the IQ book was a book i've been looking for for soooo long!! hahaha.. i did not even bother to flip through it. i picked it up, went to the counter and paid for it.

on my way back i read like 1/10th of the book; 2 and a half chapters. hahahaha.. i am trying to control myself cos it is for me to read when there's really nothing to do instead of playing my gameboy. hahaha... i sat on my bed and i couldn't stop! i read 2 more chapters and told myself i HAVE TO stop. haha...

oh, esther and colleen were like at bugis only la! haha.. was so tempted to go down and look for them since i was just nearby but decided not to disturb their girl's shopping hahaha...

anyways, just to end off, i love days like this where i spend the day out alone. i get to do a lot of thinking, enjoy my day and appreciate my day. it's like as if it makes me feel mature, more grown up. ha... unlike my childish self. i wanted to go to macritchie to sit down at the cafeteria there and read but i decided that i should go home since i've spent almost the whole day out and i cant stand standing anymore. i stood the whole journey there, stood while waiting and when i got to sit down, it felt "AHHHH!!!" hahaha...
