A healthy morning!!!

Good morning Singapore!!!

Wow...I was up at 7.20am today, after a peaceful night sleep. Vividly, I heard the sound of my mom shutting the gate. And when I looked up, it's 7.20am. Thoughts came to my mind, should I get up, change and go buy my newspapers and to enjoy it with my delicious breakfast? Or should I get up, changed and join my mom and the aunties for a walk in Portsdown?

Well...I made the second choice. So I got up, tidied my bed, refresh myself, changed and put on my comfy Adidas shoes and I headed for the stairs, 9 floors down. (I hope I can still catch up with the aunties, it's only 7.30am. I don't think they would have gone far.)

A quick and light walk across the wet grass patch, onto the running pavement, under and over the rusty fence, what's in front of me is the Malaysia train tracks. So easy easy and carefully walking over the stone ground, over the tracks and here I am at Portsdown. So over the planks that acts as a bridge covering the drain, and follow the trail of stone path way that leads up to Portsdown. I hope I can catch up with them.

The thought of waking up so early and I was actually walking and breathing in fresh air, makes me happy. Thank you Jesus~

Walking for a while later, thoughts of running came to my mind, so I ran. Maybe this is the start to my training for the upcoming 15km run. Haha...

Not far ahead, I saw them walking to the Safra country club or something, and so I walked faster to give them a surprise. Oh...no...it seems like a bunch of army kids, boys, some girls and some uncles from SAF doing warm up at the carpark, shall not see or stare and mind my own business. So the minute I stepped on the carpark grounds, I sprinted towards my mom and aunties. And they did get a surprise, especially my mom, she looks so shocked. (Priceless)

So the usual walk with them, but today we took a different route. Met Dexter the dog on the way with the tiong bahru auntie, this cute little baby who is Holland and Japanese mixed with her Japanese ah ma and the whole loads of SAF personals doing their run ( I overheard, 3 bloody rounds.) Some have given up and a small group are chatting while the steady ones are still hanging on. Sweating it.... oh gorgeous toned body...(wipe your saliver please.)

The usual... the aunties will turn into flower thieves. (采花贼）and will be plucking the flowers from this tree which gives out a very nice smell, and now I have some next to my computer desk, cheap and nature air freshener, but do beware of ants.

Ah..talking about ants, I do not know why my computer desk is infested with tiny ants which can only be found in the kitchen. Chris said they moved house. I hope they do not move into my laptop. (Though thoughts of getting a mac book air comes into mind), nah.... I still love Microsoft.

So after the run, walk and enjoying the morning sun and fresh air, it's time to walked over to the market place to get my morning news and the day shall start from there. Schedule: After breakfast, shower and start making phone calls for wine list, then assignment time, which by now I'm still typing my blog, but I have finished making the wine enquires. Lord, I wanna go to FHA, can you get me a pass, or I don't know how you are going to do it, but can I go?

Before I end, I will like to Praise the Lord for making me going for the run and get to know this auntie whose haunted by bad dreams and she has been seeing a psychiatrist. She told me she have been having bad dreams in the middle of the night, of tigers, snakes and people chasing her. I used to have all those too, and it is stress. Heard from my mom that she's the auntie who will chase people with her chopper when she's being pushed too hard, I think some kinda mental breakdown, and it scares people, even her daughter.

I dono why I actually asked her if she don't mind sharing with me why she's been visiting the psychiatrist. And she started saying about her sickness, panick attacks and nightmares. So I just merely asked her if she has a religion. She say have, so I thought it's Buddhism. But she said 基督教，so is that Christian or Catholic? Whichever lah, doesn't matters. As long we believe in Jesus Christ, that matters.

So I ask her to read her bible, any verse which speaks to her and before she sleep, just declare to Jesus that he blesses her with good sleep. At this moment, I noticed that she's covering her mouth with her hands, like in a dis belief kinda way. So I was thinking, what did I say wrong? She was like in a mode of I cannot believe that you said the same thing as my daughter. Because her daughter said somewhat the same thing to her, telling her to think of good thoughts rather then letting the dreams invade her mind. My way... Just pour it all out to Jesus and he will provide.

Anyway... I'm glad I went for the run and joined the aunties. I know He can make a difference for all circumstances through me, and that's a honour.

Differences between men and women~

Now I do agree with what my lecturer said, that men and women shops differently. In the sense that, a man knows what he wants, walks into a store or say supermarket, get what he wants and pay for it. All in all for a couple of minutes, depending on the queue. And for a woman, she will stop by at every aisle and every corner and get more than what she wants. (Maybe she may stay in the supermarket for more than an hour?)

This happens to me today. I was at Anchor point Cold storage and I was craving for a pack of chips, so I got the Calbee sour cream chips for $1.65. And then, bread comes to my mind, so I hopped over to the bread section, and got a pack of 4 hamburger buns for $1.40, before heading to the ham section for a 100grams of walnut ham for $3.65, and not forgetting Kraft's single cheese, 8 slices for $2.80. And don't forget Orange juice!! I foresee that I will crave for orange juice next morning, so I bought a pack with full of pulps and I saw a new yogurt for sales. Buy 2 and get a free muslee bar or something. So I grabbed 2... haha... so in total I spent $15.80 when in the first place, all I wanted was just a pack of chips.

Ahh.... but I am happy~!!!

Another Fire broke out!!!

Yet another fire broke out!! Not at my block, but my opposite block. Blk 55. Why do I say yet another? Because a fire broke out at the same block this year on Feb, the 15th day of chinese new year. And now, it's just april, yet it happened again.

To me, it seems that life is unpredictable. On that fateful day of the first fire, quite a number of things happened, in my life. I ended a 7 years friendship with a friend whom I suspected of stealing my money, was still talking to weird jerk then, sorta he was the one who gave me courage to confront my friend, and yes I lost it all. Anyway..life still goes on.....

Today, April 3rd, another fire occured and it came across my mind, that no fire, no weapons formed against me shall prosper. My block will be spared and no harm will come upon my household, 'cause I live here. As as Jesus is, so am I in this world. So Jesus guards my household and my block, because I live here!!! Amen~ I shall not look at the past nor shall I worry about the future, I shall live my life NOW, because Jesus is the NOW GOD. He is among us right now. That I ought to remind myself, my days will just get brighter and brighter by his grace and righteousness.

I was doing my assignment yesterday, and I just squeezed and squeezed my brain juice and somehow a line came out which I just keep thinking, my english not so powderful de le....
"Weblog is a new window for media advancement" wow....chim le. SM says this is the only kind of line you see on a powerpoint presentation. There's only one answer. It's not me, then who else? My Jesus..my inspriration of course.

I shall not ask why do I always attract the wrong people. For I shall declare that because of Jesus loving kindness and tender mercies, (grace) makes me a better person, so therefore I am attractive. And I attract anyone, though not everyone, but at least I'm attractive la. Be it of physical or inner beauty, I'm just happy being me. And walking with Jesus, just makes my days so exciting. :)
