Has been rather lazy to blog or even come online these few days. Busy training up my spiritual being. :) Anw, i went for leadership conference in malaysia and learnt pretty much abt myself over there. Its more of a self discovery kinda thing. Had a bad scare over snorkeling(if i spelt correctly). And it made mi realise certain things.
1. We are made for different things/likings. 2. i detest water based activities. 3. Man are self centered.
After the horrifying experience, i was lost for words. While the rest are busy snorkeling away, im there picking seashells which makes me feel great and relaxed. I thank God for the wind there and then and walking along the beach thinking how to explain to the rest why am i not comfortable with snorkeling. To my expectation, everyone questioned and i really felt bad for not joining. But yea, i shall not further elaborate anymore.
God has been putting this word in my head for awhile now. Differences. Like i said, we are all made differently. Some quiet, some bubbly. Some adventurous, some not. But we are all made attractive. Eg: Cats are attractive to dogs, mice to cats etc. So i thank God tt he made me attractive to somebody out there who will appreciate my differences. :)
I was talking to reynard abt this incident and asked if he would find his wife a burden if she isn't as adventurous as him. This is his ans.
Rey: Nope. I would encourage her to try, but if she is too scared, i wun force her. I will respect her decision and will follow suit.
I was dumbfounded. Many guys would find their wives holding them back from doing what they want to do and often choose someone who is like them. But to reynard, he said it with such simplicity which stunned and amazed me at the same time. It is indeed a priviledge to be his wife. (he is only 15 btw).
He made me realised that love is respecting one another and slowing down when there is a need. (not spiritualwise) Love is not self seeking. :)

Heyo! Ive started training in Ben & Jerry's! It was pure fun and full of laughter. Got to know new friends and their command of English is like OMG! Sounds bimbotic but good! Had a hard time communicating to some of them at first because im not exactly used to the accent but i guessed after 3 days training tgt with them, i understood some fairly well. :) They are super encouraging bunch of people and you feel really happy working with them. Maybe there is food involved too?Haha. Ate ALOT of ice creams and make alot of boo boos. Like yknow i almost scoop one of the chocolate ice cream into the vanilla one? Cos the ice creams are SOOO hard!! BUT but but!! The taste is really awesome! It will be my joy and pleasure to introduce you some flavours if you want. :) chunky monkey, strawberry cheesecake, phish food etc. mamamia!!
Wed will be the last day with some of them cos we are moving out of united square to our own individual outlets to practice. Will update you guys where i am so that you can join in the fun that im having and support mi by having ice creams! No free ones though but rest assured that the ice creams you are eating are of utmost quality. Its simply heavenly. Whoo!
Check out the ben and jerry's website. Its cute and there's games too! :)

phew. ive got nothing much to post abt. or rather its too personal to be known. Wait till i settle my heart and the known will be known. Till then.
Dear God, Work tmr. hope it turns out well. help me to trust and provide in your timing. help me to give thanks even when i have nothing. Remind me of your faithfulness and that you will never fail to deliver your word. Help me to believe and overcome my unbelief. In you i trust.
