Perks!

My holiday has been very fulfilling…
Think my parents gained most from it.

I’ve been packing my room since Sunday. Packing is not over yet.
No… Not cause my room is very messy. But because I’m a slow packer. I like to pack my things slowly and steadily.
I enjoy holidays cause it gives me a great opportunity to change a little of my room layout.
Gives me great excitement and joy.
Sometimes, along the way while packing, I will surprise myself with things that I found that I thought I didn’t have.

Thanks to my trip to Ikea last Friday, I got myself a storage box for my CD bags.
Emptied out the current CD box and in place, house all my handicraft stuffs.
Finally I got a “room” for them! Poor them… They have been chucked from one drawer to another. From one empty space to another.
Like what my friend always say, your room is an organized mess! Your handiwork all over the drawers but you still know where they are.

Changed my bedsheets and curtains.
Red curtains and brown sheets and green comforter.
My Hippo and Elmo blended in real well.
But my friend asked “Why you so fast into the Christmas mood liao?”
Hee… I didn’t realized!
But oh man… The bedsheets were SO comfy!!! 220 threadcount DOES has its effects!
I’ve resolute to wait for the next sale to buy another colour.
The red curtains made my room look so “Lomantic” all of a sudden…
But mummy has her own opinion!! “Aiyo! So hot!”



In the midst of these holidays, I also made a few trips to the hospital to visit my granny who fell into the state of unconsciousness.
When I was there and saw her frail body, I was so struck guilty cause I have been a very bad granddaughter.
I didn’t pay much of a visit to them always giving an excuse that I am busy.
When I look at her, I have to keep fighting back my tears cause I don’t wanna my parents to see.
Memories of those younger days came flooding back.
How my granny will fry chicken wings for me and my sister whenever we visit her last time cause she knows it’s our favourite.
She will ALWAYS tease me for looking like a little Indian gal cause I was SO tanned from all the swimming and I will always play around with her.
As I look at her, I see my deep weakness.
Never appreciating what I have till it’s nearly gone or gone.

Lately, also reminded by my shepherd that I am not as “loving” as I used to.
Gets edgy easily lately and temper flaring everywhere too.
Actually… Even before I was reminded by my shepherd, I think God visited me already.
Pr 29:11 strike my heart saying “A fool gives full vent to anger, but a wise man keep himself under control.”
*sigh* Looking at myself, it’s really *tsk tsk tsk*…
I have given in to anger so many times and after flaring, I feel regretful.
No wonder the bible says, those who gives full vent to anger is a fool.
Sometimes, I feel like a fool.

Well… It was a timely reminder indeed and is real glad for shepherds and leaders to keep me in check once in a while.
Of course, initially, when I heard it, I was “angry” BUT giving it much thought, I asked myself – How can I be angry to someone who love me so much to dare to tell me my flaws?
No wonder leaderships are not appointed by man but by God.

I took the holidays while packing my room in quietness to evaluate myself also.
It’s amazing what God can reveal to me.
