I was reading my QT mat on my way to kranji mrt and then decided to read Psalms 50. (close to psalms 51. haha) And the last verse strike me.
23The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!"
I learnt a few things while meditating on this verse.
1) Thanksgiving is a sacrifice. 2) Offering thanksgiving as a sacrifice glorifies God. 3) the one who orders his way rightly, will see the salvation of God.
It reminded me that I'm to constantly give thanks. Or rather, pray unceasing. or more rather, to have an attitude of dependence on my God all the time.
Thank God for giving us a safe journey there. Thank God for providing us with very nice food there. Thank God for the cheap deals there. Thank God for creating me to be unique, having a preference that's unique to myself. Thank God I got my slippers there. Thank God for the drink from Huey. Thank God for Wini who's a wonderful shopping companion.

Can't find my christian audio cd. End up going to 8ka for pop songs. The music is really nice. But I remembered, everything in my life is to be sanctified. So that means, sanctified humour, sanctified words, even sanctified music. How nice it'd be if the music and lyrics were written with a redeemed purpose.

You better think the previous post was funny. I managed more than that while I was on my uncle's car on my way home last week. But I culdn't rmb the rest. haha.. So.. yeah..
------
Nothing much except recovery from my sickness. Lesson learnt. Finish your antibiotics. I'm not too sure whether the sickness was because I didn't finish my antibiotics from the doctor one month ago. But ya.. Just finish it.
Sobs, i missed so many tings. Church, yunqing lao shi's teaching and band retreat. Argh. =(((
On a tksgiving note, i'm glad I had a good time of rest. also thankful that I'm reading more. Am going to finish up Mere Christianity (finally!) and started my bedtime reading of Wholly Coping (preventing Christian burnout and stress with all the science terms but also biblical perspective).
Hope to finish more books in the holidays!

5 Reasons why Geok Lan should not learn driving
1. She'll drive into any obstacles in her face and hit all of them as if they were targets.
2. She'll drive at 60km/h along a 90km/h expressway having 1341397845748 cars to pass by hers before she reaches her exit.
3. She's too short for the driver's seat. It's pretty scary to drive at night (for other drivers' sake)
4. She'll start thinking when she's driving alone and miss the pedestrian that's crossing and hits right into him.
5. She'll start smiling when she thinks of something really stupid. When other drivers sees it, they may think she belongs to hougang chalet and drives away frantically and ... poo! you get an accident.

today's a wonderful day.
went to school. on my way, a friend rang me up. He saw me at the station. I'm very sorry should you see this. I was going to be late if I were to leave the train and look for you. So haha.
pretty amazed. This friend's taking special term - chem paper level 3000 (with 2 other 3000 level modules done dis sem. woow. I wonder why he's chionging. Maybe he's like my other friend, who went on SEP (student exchange program) The zai gia whom kuku always laugh with her "heaven" friends. Mind you, he went Europe.
Yeah.. Met up with my friends who took jap. Was only expecting the person who "dated" me. But 2 other clsmates appeared. They were intending to take JLPT (japanese language proficiency test level 4 - it starts from level 4 and the highest level's level 1) haha.. I didn't know what it was.
Was still wondering where I'd get the jap text for level 2000 and yeah.. They're in the arts library. Nothing needs to be done. My friend did all the searching work for the call number of the textbooks. More jap!!
Friends are useful helpful.
And met up my girls for chemistry tuition. It's encouraging to hear that they start liking chemistry after I taught them. I never thought one could get so much joy in tuitioning. The fact that they benefitted from it makes the whole idea of tuitioning so .. so.. uh.. wonderful.
Am considering teaching. It makes why I'm studying what I'm studying more meaningful too. But. people said that's the last destination you'd want to go. Pray. There are so many options.
Read something frm Mere Christianity ytd before I fell aslp. It helped me a lot. The chapter is "Time and beyond time"
C.S. Lewis suggests that many people have the difficulty accepting the idea that God have to attend to several hundred million people's prayers. (reminds me of Bruce Almighty.. hhaha.. was talkign to Hsiao ling ytd abt it!) He suggested that God is not in Time. Many people assumed Him to be when they use words like "at the same time" (God has to address to all the prayers)... He suggested that ten thirty -and every other moment from the beginning of the world is always the Present for Him.
To understand what he means. Read the book yourself. wahaha.

Phew. finally. wahaha..
Just woke up from a dream. Please dont be mistaken that i'm slpg at this "ungodly" hour.
The dream has kinda helped me with sthg. It led me to think abt why I'm doing what I'm doing. Am I really doing things for the Lord as I have been telling myself to? If not, have I mistaken who the Lord is? Have I have misconceptions on who He is? hrmph..
Still trying to piece things in my brain for what has happened today and for the past few days.
Please pray for me.
Passion. Hrmphs..
