Eventful Sunday sealed with writing

To begin with, I did not start my Sunday feeling all perked up. I reckon I must be falling ill. For the past few weeks, on and off I feel body aches and I sort of "suppressed" it by drinking more water and popping panadols for flu.

It's not nice being "want to sick but cannot fall sick" at all. Things was made worse when I had dreams for consecutive 3-4 days. Even before I woke up, I already felt quite "down" emotionally.

Somehow, God has quite an ironical way of turning around the events in my life. When I entered HopeKids, I prayed to God that He will take charge of my emotions. As teachers in HopeKids, the children will feel every impact from the teachers. When the teacher is down, they can feel it too. When the teacher is uplifted, they can feel it too.. So I have to be careful..!

One good thing for me is that kids really can lift me up. When I hear them call me excitedly, when I get hugs from them, I feel somewhat energized. Towards the end when I led a "CG" of Primary 2 kids, I asked them to design a spiritual birthday card for their close friend or someone special and this is what I got...


Really perked the rest of my day!!

After HopeKids, I spent a little time with CG and a tad more time with the kids. Then I made my way to design wine hampers for my friend. Yes... this is my freelance! I deco weddings, I make accessories & now, I design hampers... So folks, if you are reading and like to have my service, let me know ya!? *wink* ANYWAY, when I was paid for my service just now, it just hit on me that I will work hard towards small adhoc jobs. I will save up the money then for church camp and Mission trip.

Anyway, I have digressed. The trip to my friend's shop was very nice. It's situated at One Marina Boulevard. First wine shop when you turned left into OMB - Hermitage. Very rare that I go to Raffles Place. Very rare also that the underpass was empty! Can't resist taking more pictures! Love the outlook..



After which, I went home, had dinner with my family and I start putting up my new photo frames in my room!!! I really love photos BUT I don't really have alot of space in my room for frames thus I made use of my empty wall! I bought a HUGE frame and I squeezed as much photos as I can in it. But then leh.. After putting it up, I feel like "Photos-overdosage"..! Haa...



While I was resting away on my bed and writing out my resolutions, suddenly I received a sms from my "Iron-friend". He was so ecstatic! His girlfriend accepted his marriage proposal!! Actually, the acceptance was already sort of known to me.. Thus, I wasn't glad that he is getting married. I am more glad that he remembered to tell me the good news.. This friend ah.. After getting a girlfriend like almost ignored me. Initially, I really had a hard time not getting angry. Yet, somehow, it's difficult getting angry too because our friendship is so close that I know though I am ignored, our deep friendship will always remain. What warmed my heart was I was the third to know!

Also, I officially got another sheep. "Officially" cause my new sheep just got to know about it.

It was an eventful Sunday. And finally, in writing..

Resolutions for 2007:
1) Climb Mount KK (should be fulfilled easily. Going with colleagues)
2) Disciplined gym + jogging
3) Standard Chartered Marathon 10km Run
4) To be a better sheep/shepherd
5) Language course (maybe Malay so that I can converse with my clients better)
7) To complete what I need for the day within the day itself (Work)
8) To be a better impact for children in HopeKids
9) To be a better assistance to CL
10) To have better time management so that I can spend a little more quality time at home
11) To not procrastinate
