Have you ever asked someone to why he/she did something and he/she replied, “It’s God’s calling.”? Ok, not the exact same words, but somewhere along the line? I do, and at times when people share their experiences with me, I will wonder, why God hasn’t spoke to me. Was it because I wasn’t a very devoted christian, or was it because I haven’t gotten to the “next level”?
During worship service this morning, while carrying my sunday 7-mth old boyfirend Jared and singing songs of worship, this thought of teaching sunday school came across. It was sudden, and it felt kinda weird. It was like God telling me, “Go teach.” I was confused, I told God, “Lord, I don’t think I can do it. I don’t think I have what it takes to be a sunday school teacher. There are many things that I don’t know.” and He said, “You love kids, why not try junior sunday school? Nursery class perhaps?”. And i just stood there, feeling kinda lost. I didn’t know what I should do. It’s like a tug of war. I like that idea, cos I really love kids. But I am afraid, that I’m not able to do it well. I am afraid, that I will not be able to answer questions that the kids might ask me.

You may ask, how do I know that it was God who spoke? I asked myself this question too. But when service ended, Moh Keng came and asked whether I had thought of teaching sunday school. I was speechless. It was as if God told her that I was scared, that I wasn’t confident, that I needed assurance. I haven’t given her an answer yet. I hope I can give her one when I’m back in church in 2 weeks time.
When people shared such stuff with me, I could somehow, never been able to fully share their excitement, their joy. But after today, after Moh Keng popped the question, I can fully understand how they feel; and it’s just indescribable. it’s bliss.
wr and boon treated us for ktv session at LTA main office just now. ktv cum dinner session was set from 6 to 10pm. but me being me, i only managed to leave office ard 6.30pm.. hehe.. 😛
left concourse and headed towards the bus stop at park royal hotel, my head turning back frequently to see if there was any 980 coming. that was the only bus to LTA main office. but i didn’t even have to walk more than 10m to find 980 smack right in front of me, caught in the jam, on the way to the bus stop.
“oh no, please let it be stuck at the jam” i prayed as i quickened my pace to the bus stop which at that point, seemed so far far away. a battle had began: the battle between my 2 legs and that dunno how many wheels bus. my heart dropped everytime i see the bus start moving and that the traffic seemed to start clearing. i did not want to miss the bus. cos i will have to wait a very long time for the next 980 to arrive.
god definately heard my prayers 🙂 i managed to get to the bus stop before the bus arrived and got there before 7: just in time to be not too late, as well as not to over-agitate my growling tummy. 😛
thou a pretty stressful 5-min walk to the bus stop, the rest of the night was filled with fun & laughters. enjoyed it thoroughly. 🙂
2 Sides

went for my weekly site progress meeting last friday. after the meeting, we had a discussion with the contractors regarding the VO claims. there was this item that was requested by the architect where the price was TBA; which in technical terms meant “to be advised”.
architect was asking (ain’t that sure whether she was joking or not) whether there were cost implications where the QS said, “of course not! see, the VO claim says to be absorbed.” contractors, being on “the other side” obviously denied. but having a sense of humour, added on, “your side, it’s to be absorbed. my side, of cos is to be added lah!”
and we all roared with laughter.
what a simple way to show the 2 sides of a coin isn’t it?
A New Place
Posted on: 25 August 2009
i finally gave blogger up. it was a tough decision cos i am so comfortable with blogger over the years. furthermore, the plain layout that i have at blogspot was one that i painstakingly took days to do it: from scratch. and of the many times i changed the layout, it is that plain blogspot layout that i feel “truly defines me”.
oh well, what to do? the weird interface that i’ve been facing with blogger whenever i create new post is really buggy. i can only input text. all the icons (formatting, insertting pic etc) are all gone… and this is really sad. that meant no more pinkie lumixie posts, or no more pics to share. and this is the reason why i’m here at wordpress.
gawd, had such a hard time this 2 days in just getting this blog done up. am definately too spoilt for comfort at blogger already. well, can’t be blamed isn’t it? afterall, i had been using blogger since nov 2004!
oh well, hopefully, with a new place, there can be more posts. hahaha… (i know i know, i’ve been lazy.. keke.. :P) well at least there’ll be pinkie lumixie posts for sure 🙂
