Bye bye, Claudia! This morning went to send Claudia off at the airport. Wah! So early siah! Suppose to meet her at the airport at 6.15am. #_# Alarm set at 5.15am. Just didn't want to wake up. So early siah! Stayed in bed till 5.20am den managed to drag myself off bed. So reached T1 at about 6.20am. There were me, xu en, Joanne and Xin Ling.
Haiz! Going to miss her. Haha! She will be back only during next year Chinese New Year. SO long! I am planning to go Vietnam year end to visit her. Anybody interested? Hehehe!
So after sending her off, went to have a QUICK breakfast. The coffee auntie really slow siah! I think I queue for at least 10min to just get 1 ICE MILO and 1 ICE HORLICKS! Auntie, buck up can or not! : p So after that went home and was so tired so went to sleep.
Something interesting happened during my sleep! I dreamt that I was trying to wake up from my sleep. The 'me' in the dream was consciously awake but the eyes just refused to open. So was like struggling to open the eyes but cannot. Den try coaxing myself to relax but the eyes still won't opened. Den tried screaming for help but couldn't say anything. Tried moving my body but also cannot. Wah! Freakish siah! It's like I was totally blind and paralysed. Thankfully, somehow or rather, the dream drifted away. The funneh thing is when I woke up from my real sleep, my eyes were very wet and soggy. And my right eye was sored. Darn! `.* Arrrhhhhhhhhhh! So impossible. Did I have that dream becoz my eye was turning sore or was it becoz of the dream that my eye turn sore? hahaha!
Sometimes SILENCE can be so deafening!

Weekend Away
Haha! I was away in Malaysia over the weekend. It is a long story how I ended up there!
On Friday, I went to church and Pastor Ngaim Koy came up to me. He was like very 'desperate' and he asked me if I could go with the Alpha team to the Alpha Weekend Away because there was no musicians. I was kind of reluctant because I tot of chilling out with frens over the weekend to celebrate my birthday. I was struggling. On one hand, I really dun mind going to help out but on the other hand, I also really want to have fun. Even though, I finally agreed to going, my emotions still weren't really settled. It was a bit too last minute. And Sandy told me the Lord delights in a joyful giver. So yup! I tried to cheer myself up by thinking about the nice things I can do at Malaysia.
So Saturday came, and took William's car. Was travelling to JB, Sofitel Palm Resort. Reached there about 1.50pm and was late for lunch. Had to kinda of quickly settle lunch in 25min. There was smoked salmon. ARHHHH! I just had to gobble it up. Cannot sit down and enjoy. Haha! Den the group was playing Ice Breaker alreadi when i got there. They were playing the Beauty, Hero and Beast game (similiar to sisscors, paper, stone) Den I was dragged to play. I played 3 rounds and I won both rounds. I'm just too good! Muahaha! Den Hui Jun led worship. Den Lydia shared the message. After that, was dinner. Wooo hoo. Had a chinese sitdown course meal. The food was superb. Fantastic dinner. Den Hui Jun said something that I can't remember but it make me blushed like mad.
Den night time the groups break up into individuals accompanied by a leader for Confession time. So I was like free and den I went back to my room. By the way, I had a whole room to myself. Wooo hooo. I soaked in the bath tub for 1/2 hour before watching soccer. Den later chilled out with William and Xiao Feng at their open cafe. Ordered a coconut mocktail. Horrible! How could they put such a horrible drink on the menu! (angry) Den went back to room, watch a bit more of soccer b4 turing in to bed.
Next morning woke up den went for breakfast. Good breakfast. I love the eggs. 2 sunnysideups and 1 omelette. Muahaha! High in cholestrol! Who cares! Haha! Den the next session where Pastor Ngiam Koy and the leaders prayed for those who wants to bless with the giftings of the Holy Spirit. So after this, had a testimony session where many shared about how and what God has done in their life. Really very touching and all glory goes to God!
So after all this, we all suppose to check out of our room. So I enter my room and took off my slippers. Den I heard a beeping sound from the door. So I exited out of the door and tried entering the room. But guess what, the door refused to open. Classic siah! I was locked out of the room, barefooted. I was told by one of the cleaner that the door's mechanism battery flat. Great! So I walk barefooted to the front desk to ask for help. So they got the mechanics and got it fixed in 5 min. Then quickly I packed everything and checkout and went for lunch.
Half way thru the lunch, a cake was presented on my table. Haha! So touching. They got a cake to celebrate my birthday. Nearly wan to cry. They also celebrated Xiao Feng's birthday. Den Pastor Ngiam Koy said a prayer for us. Then he prayed about 'something' and everybody was like replying with loud amen. So pai seh! And I once again blushed very badly. Kena teased by so many peopel. Haiz!
Dun know why I blushed so easily? It is so bad for the brain. The blood that gushes up to the brain. Haha!
I really enjoy this Alpha away. I could have chosen to stay in S'pore and celebrated over the weekend but it was really worthwhile to go. Seeing God's hands at work and also fellowship with family in Christ.

MUFFIN - BETTER WITH COFFEE OR TEA?
Today went to Plaza Singapura and bought muffin from Carrefour. 3 for $2. Bought a walnut, banana and chocolate flavour. Ate the walnut first. Not too bad. But I think I ate quite a few junk food before hand. So stomach feeling a bit sick from the walnut muffin. Haha! So didn't get to try the remaining 2 favours until supper. Went to watch Jay Chou's The Secret movie. Not too bad. Quite interesting plot (but won't say it's a new concept). The flow was pretty well thought through, though I do believe if I sit down watch again, I'm sure there will be some irregularities. Romance part was quite touching. Thought that if the romance was done more in depth, it will stir more emotions. Well! On the whole, good movie. 7 out of 10. And an extra 1 point if you are Jay's fan.
So coming to Muffin. Does it taste better with coffee or tea? I can read up on it, I can go analyse it, I can go poll the public, I can speculate but I will never know the answer for myself. Unless I try it myself. At least, I know this will be my answer!

The BEST
Yes! I'm the best. I'm number one! If you want to beat me, you have to try harder! Haha! I'm talking about me being the goalkeeper. Yesterday was one of those game that put me to the challenge. Clean sheet! A few heroic saves! A few good long range crosses! 1 head-on challenge that left me on the ground. I am the man! Muahahahaha! All these to erase away the previous record of 7 goals in 2 matches. Haha!
I've read this article written about goalkeeper a while ago. Very hilarious and yet so true. I cannot remember the writer's name, most probably a freelance writer. He, himself, is a goalkeeper and he was recapturing his glorious and also many of the bitterness of being a keeper. (below statement contains abstract content of the writer)
When we were young and come together for a match of soccer, who is to be the keeper? Everybody wants to have a touch of the ball and plays on the outfield. So naturally, the least capable of all will be entrusted the 'most important role' (that's what the rest always say). Usually, the fat ones are chosen because by the fact they cannot run fast and their shape acts as a natural barrier, they make the 'best' keepers. I cannot remember why I became a keeper but I do remember the challenge, thrill and joy of making saves. That must be the reason why I became a keeper. (ok fine! I was fat too)
I guess as time pass, things does not change - you are still a keeper and your size is still the same or even better, bigger. Once a Keeper, Always a Keeper. Many a times, we are labelled as the easiest job in the game of soccer. We simply stand on the line and make sure the ball does not roll over the line. I wish it was this simple. True keepers do not wait for the ball. They have to be always on the focus, anticipating the ball movement and the whole flow of the game. Any let down of concentration may result in the ball SIMPLY roll over the line. So who says keeper is the easiset job?
And as a keeper, our job is the most undesirable compare to the outfield players especially a striker. A striker can miss 99 shots and score on the 100th tried and pple will lift praises to him. But for a keeper, we can save 99 shots and SIMPLY let in the 100th and we will be condemned as the villian. It is just not fair.
Well, then again, I still love playing as the keeper! Because SIMPLY, I'm the best!

ALL SMILES
Haha! I'm still smiling, to my surprise. Haha! By God's grace. Indeed His grace is sufficient. And I guess the lesson learn is communication. What I intend to say may not be understood by others the intended way. Does that mean we stop talking? No.... the more we should talk. Talk already dun understand, den talk again, dun understand, still talk, talk until understand. Haha! But one thing for sure is God will never misunderstand. Even before we speak or think, He knows exactly what it is.
Lord, thank You for being such an understanding God, even before we speak, You know the heart of our desire. Though things may not turn out the way we intend it to be, one thing for sure is that You are in control. Let it not be my will but Yours be done! Amen!
