refused to wake up till the 3rd snoozing of my phone alarm and struggled my way to the toilet. bathe and headed for school. today was going to be a tiring day. the group decided to play soccer after school with some of the guys from the new mass comm class that just started. played awhile in the downpour of singapore's finest rain and then mr sunny decided to get out of his house and stay there for awhile. the other team was good but arrogant. the usual young and rash, full of tricks... well my group was beaten 10-6. it was a race to 10 goals. anyway, it was the aftermath in the shower room that was going to be the climax. the moment we went into the shower room, it was no holds bar for all the talks. complaints of bad tackles and unsportmanlike behaviors filled the air. it was crazy man... anyway, alvin came to me while i was gel-ing my hair and made a remark. "you from church one right? the way i see you play and talk, i know liao. i was like that last time too." oh man! i was like shock! now i understand why papa God had to take me out of playing for school to teach me this lesson so that this moment can happen. i was so amazed. it was my kairos moment. thank You papa God for doing this. i give You all the praises!
many times, like kids, we don't understand why our parents would make us do something that we don't like or have no interest in or worst still, take the very thing that brings us joy away from us. but along the way of growing up, we slowly see how those moments actually allows us to be moulded in a certain way which helped us whe we grow up. many of us who experience a childhood of having to fend of ourselves will grow up being a strong in will person but tagging along lots of hurts and pain along with it. this is where we need to know how give all our hurts and pain to papa God and keep the character of the strong will that is submitted to papa God.
anyway, back to the day...
went to town after soccer with marcus, jiewei, rasul, alvin, isaak and danny because they wanted to watch "thank you for smoking". we headed down to meridan for lunch first before going to PS to catch the movie. didn't stay for the movie because i realised that i was too tired and i might just fall alseep in the cinema. left for home after they went into the cinema with danny. (he was going to the same busstop) as usual, slept the whole of the journey back home in the nice comfy seat at the corner. (once again, it was one of those waking up just before your stop kind of sleep. somebody, please find out why this will happen!) got home and decided to start writing this blog entry since basketball is cancelled tonight due to the living room prayer meeting.
anyway, good news... classmates are beginning to open up to me. i am talking to more people now than the last two terms... hurray! more to come!
too lazy to wash my boots and clean up my table... think i'll do it tomorrow afternoon. just want to chill tonight and enjoy this quiet moment...
p/s: no pictures today because of my laziness and tiredness...
