Looking beyond

"Hey Sandra, which high school are you in?"

*eyebrows raised* "Huh!?" was my immediate reply.
Another friend who walked passed laughed non-stop. I just couldn't stop laughing too!

"Hey.. Don't laugh.. Seriously, which school are you in?"

With a very straight face (I try my best) and said "XXX, I am 29 this year." Smiled sweetly and batted my eyelashes.

"WHAT?! Are you sure? What you working as?"

That, led me to a conversation with an ex-social worker student. Batch 92.

Hmm.. Sometimes, I am not quite sure whether looking young is a compliment already. In my line of job now, I am beginning to feel the heat looking young! I mean.. I am really thankful that I look young but it's quite a disadvantage in my job. I have been asked accusingly several times "How old are you?" But, NONETHELESS, I am still glad that I look young.. Least when I am really older, I still look younger. Haha!!

Today was a real happening day. Had HopeKids in the morning and it was great being part of HopeKids Live. I mean... heh.. The kids just brighten up my day truly! Each time I step out of HopeKids, I felt so much more refreshed. Felt so much eh.. younger. And today, it was the Easter service. We had a Ice Age skit and a cooking lesson by Teacher Hong Teck. It was learning all over for me. With kids, I have learned not to be myself. Hee... Didn't Ps Jeff say in a sermon? Executives look real profession, tall and hard to talk to. But when they see a kid, the kid in them just surface as they go "phblaat"..! Haha!!

You know, one beautiful thing about being in a church is that it's one place where you get to work with people from all walks of profession. I have worked with teachers, engineers, financial planners, logistics, chemist, IT, people in the music line, accountants, etc. If I apply it correctly, honestly, I really may be able to learn from each of them a thing or two!

Anyway, I came home straight immediately after lunch. Needed to give a real thought and complete my report.. At the same time, I had a great dinner with TomYam soup from mummy then watched TV for awhile together with sister. It's a beautiful rainy Sunday...
