5am. He tries to sleep.
8am+. A weird buzzing suddenly appears in his dream. He wakes up to find that it wasn’t a dream. It’s his brother’s handphone that is “ringing” silently. He tries to cancel out that buzzing so that he can head off to a happy place.
8.10am+. A weird buzzing suddenly appears in his dream. He wakes up yet again to find it that wasn’t a dream. No, this time its his phone that’s “ringing”. He tries to ignore it but finally answers. Wasn’t anything important. The people on the other side just wanted him to wake his brother up. He tries to wake his brother up. It was all in vain. All he had for a response was a grunt.
8.15am. His brother’s phone “rings”.
8.20am. His phone “rings”. He tries to wake his brother again.
8.25am. His brother’s phone “rings”. Yes it continues to “ring”.
(Yes they are extremely persistent)
8.30am. His phone rings. And this time he is getting really frustrated/agitated/pissed. And he asks his brother to answer his stupid phone. He tries to wake his brother again. Finally he answers their call. He semi-dozes off.
8.32am. He is woken up by the voice of his brother.
8.34am.His brother slides the cupboard door. “BANG, DOOONG!!”. The cupboard door collapses. His brother doesn’t care and walks out of the room.
8.35am. His mother walks in. Smacks his leg and asks him what happen. At like almost 100dB.
8.36am – 8.40am. “Discussion”on who would fix the door. Finally after awhile he says he’d do it.
8.40am – 8.45am. The people who were calling earlier appear in the room and start laughing. They keep saying it sucks to me him. They say sorry. But he doesn’t think they’re sincere.
8.55am. His dad appears to fix the door.
9.00am. Bathes. Brushes Teeth. Shaves. Moisturised
9.30am. Leaves for church.
10.00am. Second to reach.
11.00am. Service starts.
Can you feel it?
The sian-ness, the fatigue, the everything?
At the end of the day he wonders why this happened? Maybe it was a test from the Big Man above to see if he would give his all despite all that happened before. Maybe he was just suay. Who knows?
Went shopping yesterday. Super steady haha even though the stuff i bought were on impulse. i bought 2 pairs of shorts….heart pain man no $$$ already. I really really like shorts that have cool insides. Like you see some people on the road right, they have like seriously cool designs on the front? But i like those with cool insides. Like the pockets,etc. It can look as like some $10 pair of shorts on the outside, but the cool stuff is on the inside hahahaha. i know i’m weird. Then i bought NatGeo magazine. I really like NatGeo mag. Because its one of the things that i will read till the end hahaha. Even though im not a very book/reading person..
Went to this place for dinner, i don’t know how to spell but its some italian place near changi prison ahha. seriously its quite nice. the place is like super cosy and like its not crowded or rather it has limited seating so it won’t get really noisy. The food is super good man. SUPER SUPER SUPER. It’s really a place to bring a date ahhaa. Cause like its not really well known right. And if you want to be sneaky and dont tell people that you have a date you can go there. hahaha. THANK YOU AND YOU FOR THE DINNER!!!!!!
2008 has died and 2009 has taken its place. So now lets take some time to reflect on the year. I would say that i have grown in many areas man.
Mentally – The goal for this area was to read a book every month. Sadly i cmi. I only read 2 story books. haha EPIC FAIL.
Physically - Well what can i say? I’m as fit as ever. No wait that’s not right if i am then why do i pant like a dog during soccer? haha. How to get fit? i have a very valid excuse……hand spoilt a.k.a fractured elbow a.k.a spoilt hand.
Financially - I would say that this area for me was the easiest to achieve. Boss and i discussed that i should have some kind of custom savings plan. Which i did lah only to waste it away on thingys. But as long as i have the “primary” savings then its alright.
Ministry Wise - Wah lau i don’t know where to start…. Let’s start by saying i seriously/honestly don’t deserve to serve/worship/honour God in this manner. And everytime i look back right i will always remember the stack chair days. At first i didn’t know why i was only stacking chairs and setting up cafe. Only much later on did i realise that it was all in the name of training. God was training me, teaching different values, and slowly changing my attitude. And all i can say is that God deserves all the credit.
School - Hmmm… school. The highlight/lowlight in school for me would definately be the Major Project (MP) a.k.a Final Year Project (FYP). This MP was definately a test to see how i’d react to different situations. I was actually quite alright till my team mate vanished from thin air, never to be seen or heard of again. So i had to do the project by myself right. Wah lau i was really stressed. So how did i escape from the stress? After school everyday i would just go home and play games till its time to sleep. So it was like some kinda escapism thingy. Then one fine day boss asked me to wake up my idea. And thats what i did. HAHA. I was super paranoid lo nearing the end of the project. Because, in my mind right, this doomsday scenario would always play out in my head. It goes something like this. On the final presentation day, M.I.A team mate would emerge from the wilderness and he would have a written program which is 500000x better than mine and like the teachers will say that he did all the work and like i didn’t do anything. Ya so i was praying super hard right. And finally before i knew it, MP OVER wohoo. Then came a shocker. For completing this MP i was given another MP thingy to do…. i seriously was sian-1/2-ed.
i also cooked my first dish ever. ok 2 dishes. I made carbonara and omellete. Both dishes came out alright. Only after that session did i realise how sian auntie leah must have felt after everytime she cooked. Like after we finally completed the carbonara right. We were all sianed and too tired to eat haha but it was a great experience. Thanks for the lesson.
All in all i would say that i have definately grown in many areas and i’d like to say that even though i will never ever reach Jesus’ standard, i can safely say that im one step closer haha….
