Another feeling

Actually it should be "A reason to another feeling".

Delirious? recorded their final album. I feel sad.
They contributed so much to contemporary Christian music, and they play so well together as a band though I sometimes find the music too loud. Can't believe they're saying goodbye to each other. Well, I believe they each have higher callings. And their music will live on, touching lives and leading hearts upward.

Then I am reminded of a message spoken by one of my favourite speakers in church back home last week.

"The Lord's servants come and go, so don't be too attached to them." - Uncle Paul.

It was a line of words that went right into my heart that day, and it remains. Sometimes, many times we are so prone to grow attach to people who help us and speak into our lives, that we do not realise how dependant on them we have become. Only until they leave all of a sudden do we suffer great pain. But what is loss without pain anyway?

I have become so fearful of depending on another;

yet I know no man is or can be an island.

One feeling I'm feeling

收拾行李，但愿收拾承重的心情。
离别是不能免的事。上大学是值得庆祝的好事！
表姐，保重。
谢谢你对我的照顾与关心，再会。

Don't mind please let me "emo" a bit now, I seldom express feelings through blogging.

Time to eat less

A drought isn't coming, you aren't gonna take part in Sumo wrestling, the McDonald's in Kluang isn't closing down.

Dear Joel,

You better control that appetite and keep the fridge closed.
Diabetes, kidney failure, heart problems and any other disorders are not joking matters. Stop opening yourself to such risks.
Eat less, eat more(healthily). The chocolates in the house are crying out: "Don't take away all our friends!" and the vegetables available feel neglected.
Also, you need to get yourself moving and start exercising!

I do not wish that you might look like this one day:



Then you won't be able to fit into the pair of Blue Jeans you bought.

Lord, bless the food

Today, was a whole day spent on eating. The past few days have been rather similar but today was one of the best. I don't even recall opening the refrigerator at home much. Ate out many times, meeting with various friends. Though I didn't have the chance to see some of them whom I missed and hoped to eat together with today, it was nice catching up with those who ate with me.

I always eat as if there were a famine coming, whenever I'm back to this hometown called Kluang, like today, but today is exceptional. I just realised that not a single cent left my wallet! Hahaha..
So nice of everyone who were so kind to treat me to all the good food today.
I enjoyed free food and fun fellowship, for three meals! Dim Sum for breakfast, Bak Kut Teh for lunch and Sushi for dinner. Can already feel the extra weight I have to carry to sleep.

It is not the free food that I appreciate so much, but it feels so comforting to know that there are friends back home who give you treats as an expression of welcoming you.

Today I prayed and gave thanks for food with a greater gratitude and deeper understanding in why we should give thanks for their food.

and God said, "let there be food" and the food was good.

and mom says, "today whole day eat then tomorrow whole day study, ok?"

Ordinary people

Saw what a friend, Josie Lim updated on her Facebook wall:
[Do not underestimate the job of a waitress, driver, etc, they are those who keep everything going.]

And I found that statement very very true! Although such ordinary jobs in the service line are often not what people aspire to do, these jobs are indeed what the society, the country, the world need to keep things going.
If one day there were no more waiters and waitresses, things will go chaotic in restaurants and food places though the ones that do self-service would cope slightly better.
However, I must say, if one day there were no public transport, the society would likely not survive! Imagine, people who work cannot go to work. There goes most of the businesses. But even more importantly, the only boss of the business world would have difficulty getting around, by the way, there is only one boss- the Customer. No customers, no sales, as simple as that.
I don't know how else to emphasize the importance of those working in the service sector.

Let's take time to remember their contributions toward the society and the country, appreciate what they do and at the very least, be less demanding.

Haha, having worked for a month I finally have a slightly clearer picture of what it tastes like to serve.

Blessed are they who serve, even more blessed are they who serve those who can not repay kindness. I wish to be one of the latter. Serving the least and the last, as an ordinary person.

Second Best
