Dinner with family at Hong Kong Tea House fri night with family because mommy wanted to try the place and it's been long since we went out together as a family. The food there is good(or maybe I was just too hungry hehe). The place had pictures of Hong Kong stars on the walls and they had many chinese/Hong Kong magazines stacked around. Pretty cool. While at the restaurant I received a call from Jemmy. He was sposedly on the way to my house to give me a surprise. Aww but too bad I was out. 'Twas a nice thing to do tho thank you sweetie.

I couldn't sleep yest night and ended up wide awake on my bed for approx 5 hours before finally dozing off. It's the most horrible feeling to be so tired and want to sleep but just can't. Tossing and turning in bed all night! & my muscles are aching all over from training. I feel like a granny I need a good massage please pronto!

Today Jemmy and I watched The Simpson's Movie at his place. Hey I thought 'twas quite good. Humorous the Simpson's way. I enjoyed it :) & Jemmy's mom was making kueh today. It looks like fun! Jemmy went to grab the dough with his itchy fingers and it got all stuck on his hand his mom had to salvage the remaining dough. 'Twas so silly I lmbo(laughed my butt off. Butt sounds nicer I think ;)

Caught Evan Almighty next at the cin! Pretty good stuff. Some quotes from the movie struck a chord with me. Shall share them with you, as usual :)

In the movie, God says:

Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?

And realization just hit me in the face like that pham wham bham! It never occured to me that that's how God works. How many a times have I asked God to make me stronger to face each new day in school, how many times have I prayed for the ability to trust another living person completely, how many times I've prayed for God to show me how to be a better person both inside and out etc. And all this while I never realized all around me, my life, God has been giving me opportunities! Opportunities to love, trust and be strong. Opportunities of all sorts! Situations that test my perseverance and strength. People that put my patience, trust, understanding and courage amongst other things to the test. Every little thing, it's all God's work. I feel so good finally realizing all these! From today, I see the word opportunity in a new light! Thank you God :D

Evan: How do we change the world?
God: One single act of random kindness at a time.

ARK coincidentally(or maybe not!) stands for one single Act of Random Kindness at a time :) The story of Noah's Ark has always been one of my childhood favourites so watching Evan Almighty was kinda nostalgic for me.

Anw, had a nice day with Jemmy today. We hardly spend time together alone anymore so I really thank God for today :))) And I've done much self-reflecting over the past couple of weeks and I think, time is the answer. I will just keep praying <3 :) I love you darling.

And thank you(yes you my friend!) who's reading this. My posts are mostly long and full of random rambles but I know some of my dear friends still read it and show me an abundance of love and concern! You know who you are, and I appreciate everything small or big! It's because of people like you that I love sharing :)))

Breakfast at my place with bestie tooms :D Happy sundae peeps!
