A Blog About An Uneventful Day

Joanna from PDP was wondering why I don't blog everyday. I'm just not one of those who would blog about my uneventful life, until something touches me or is interesting to me. But for her sake, I shall blog about yesterday.

I reached PDP at about 9am. It was quite boring as no one came in yet. As people started streaming in, the place got a little more lively. We had our usual study time before lunch. Toward the end of our study time, Jovin and Siti were bickering like husband and wife, so we starting teasing them; about how Jovin is going to marry her and that he needs to convert into a Muslim.

After study time, Jovin, Siti, Joanna, Kee Wei, Acemond, Favian and I went to have our lunch over at Bendemeer Hawker Centre. On our way there, Jovin jumped on a bar attempting to do a pull-up. While trying, he dropped his wallet. I immediately saw a window of opportunity for a prank. I quickly scoop the wallet off the floor and placed it behind my back so that Jovin won't see it. Siti then quickly snatched it out of my hands and kept it.

It didn't take long for Jovin to realize that his wallet wasn't with him. I was his first suspect. He started searching all my pockets trying to see if his wallet was in anyone of them. When he was checking out my back pocket, he felt my wallet and started squeezing it and at the same time, he squeezed my butt! Feeling indignant, I immediately confronted him for squeezing my butt and he attempting to push me off the bridge in his attempt to silence me for his misdeed!

We all went back to the cabin after lunch and waited till 3pm when I took them out to play "Build House". However, it started raining soon after we began with the first round so all of us went back into the cabin to make more noise. Back at the cabin, we started teasing Jovin again but this time it was with Joanna. I told Joanna that Jovin is a nice guy (in a jokingly manner but I really meant it) and that she should consider him.

When PDP ended, I took the bus with Jovin and went for my keyboard lessons. It was my last lesson for this round and I have decided not to continue straight away because I would be starting my RT and will be busy with work. On top of that, I would be missing a lessons because I'm going to Hong Kong!

There you have it, a blog about an uneventful day. Specially dedicated to Joanna Tan Min Zhuang from Bendemeer PDP. I don't think there was and ever will be another on like this.

Same Verse, Different Message

Once in a while, people will ask me, "How do you know when God is talking to you?" Here's an example of how.

Just now, I was at a meeting. A friend of mine shared that she is struggling with a decision that she has to make. Spotting a Bible in the room, I told her to pray and ask God to give her a direction and to flip open the Bible to look for an answer.
She prayed and after she opened the Bible, she passed it back. "How am I suppose to know which verse to read?" I took the Bible and read out the first verse that my eyes set upon. It was something about wives listening to their husbands.
I thought that was completely out of point to her situation. Later, during the meeting, she shared that she had reached her decision because of that verse. That's because before that, she had discussed the issue with her husband and he gave her a piece of advice. So, after hearing the verse that I read, she felt that God had given her the confirmation on her decision.

So there you have it, God has many ways in which he communicates with us. We just need to ask and go to the right source.

Eventful Few Months

First of all, SAY Out Loud Connect was a wonderful event!! Many were touched by the skit and message that night! Praise God!

Secondly, following the annoucement at the final school, I can finally declare that PDP is gonna close at the end of June! Yes, that means I'll be out of job by then. There are plans going on to start PDP under a private limited company. I went through a very tough few weeks trying to decide if I wanted to work in this company. I have finally reached a decision; going for an interview this thursday morning, really hope I'll get the job. Those who believe in prayers, please pray for me.

Felt completely lost in the things I've been going through these few weeks. Mainly because I couldn't get through the hurdle of my indecision and it left me paralysed for a while. It then finally dawned on me that I was held back by my feelings and probably the inertial of moving forward. In the end, I told myself that I had to be true to myself and go on the journey that I planned so long ago. Failing to do so, I would probably be unhappy.

S.A.Y. Out Loud: Connect!

Don't miss this event! Its on 16th May, Fri, 730pm @ Bishan Salvation Army
