Sat's thoughts

while i'm longing for the rain to hit sunny Singapore, people elsewhere is wishing it will go away.
philippines, vietnam & laos are basically flooded by the raging typhoons that stormed their way through. and indonesia experienced a massive earthquake all at the same time.

like my friend said, the earth is very sick.

i welcome the rain that cooled off the heat from the past few days and its refreshing but as i browsed the news and read the disasters that hit the above SEA nations, i didn't know what to think.

i now look at the rain differently.

anyway finally a free saturday. met up with joani to browse Salvation Army Thrift store and we left with an unbelievable steal; joani with her fur coats (each at $35!!!!!!) and me 2 books for $2. storewide 30%. God knows me well. I wanted to browse through Borders but trying to save up for my trip and He presented me a much cheaper alternative. He is this real!

then it was lunch and dinner with grandparents and aunt. i love my time with them. i find my 'bali resort' kind of relaxation when i'm in their house. like all stress and frustration gone.

for now, i can't wait to go on my aussie trip. currently fraught with obstacles after obstacles but i'm believing for all things to work out fine. i trust He knows my heart's desires and in His will & time, He will make all things well.

i look out my window. wet ground, red sky and feeling the gentle breeze. thunderstorm and rain tonight?

my wish for the last few days but today will i wish for the same thing?

SHAKING OFF THE DUST

Its been a long hiatus :) So many things have taken place and so many reflections to document but the inertia to do it was just to great to resist. Anyhow, decided to take some time during this break to start the 'blogging engine' going again. Hopefully, it revives my hope and wish to keep this site alive.  Just had the annual ODAC camp @ Ubin and while trekking around the island with the kiddies yesterday, I chanced upon this little grasshopper at the Sensory Trail. I managed to get up close and personal for this shot, which was taken with my new iPhone 7 ahem. Image was sharp and it looked great!  And the verse that came to mind was: "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?....Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." - Matthew 6: 26-34 In my rest...

Count your blessings

I bought this set of keychain for my gramps. So cute right? They both love it to bits man! Haha..I'm proud of myself. A wise person said this to me this morning: "when you count your blessings, you will find many things to be thankful for...". True true. Been rather short fused these days and especially with family members. My grandma bore the brunt of it on monday when she suddenly appeared at NCC with my grandpa. I wasn't expecting her and so when I saw her, I was quite mean to ask why she was there when I actually know her intentions. I felt the way I felt because firstly I was already bothered about how to take care of grandpop when he sighs and worries about his discomfort and blah and then grandmop comes along and be herself (complain complain and ask same questions 1001 times etc). Double whammy! Anyway in a nutshell, the wise person told me early in the morning that grandmop upset that I brushed her aside that day, which I know was baddie bad bad :( ok i will...

PSALM 121

I lift my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel, will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Many a times, man fails to keep his promise but God never. He makes a promise and we can be so sure He will keep it forever and ever. Man may fail but He nevers. Sometimes, we may wonder if God is really doing the right thing for us but I know one thing - trusting Him is the only thing that can never go wrong :)
