went to school today but realised that i actually didn't need to be there! haha... but the good thing is that i actually got my marks! i got a 8/10 for process of my project and 8/10 for my class participation. haha! cool! it pays to be there even when you are not required to. haha! had some fun in class talking to people and playing bluff... hahaha... then lunch was at the malay stall outside mdis along the row of shops under the flats. the food was fantastic! it is so good that now i totally refuse to eat from the malay stall in school. haha...
afternoon was ms benita's class. because it was a tutorial class, attendance was little and so she actually had a time of talking at the end of the class. we sat around and she started asking us where we were from and what we want to do. hahaha... it was like a career counselling session. haha... telling us to do what we really like and want, rather than just go with what we study and then spend our whole life there. hahaha... it was good... a really good time... i'm beginning to wonder if she's actually part of the kingdom. hmm... food for thoughts...
saw shermeen's email about her selling her "treasures" to raise fund for her volunteer trip to israel. called her and had a short conversation with her. manage to encourage her a little and also to tell her that whatever she is doing is something many people can't do. even in selling her "treasures", it was a sign of giving up everything for the cause. money can always be earn back but money will not be able to buy the experiences that she is going to get from this volunteer stint. seriously, if papa God calls me, i'm also ready to do it too...
after class was a trip down to the airport to send ben soh off... got there, had popeyes and then went to pray for him. we did it in a rush cause some of us actually need to go to naval base primary school for the combined sports day with the english congregation. that's why we didn't send ben soh off at the gate.
got to naval base primary school around 7.45pm and they were about to start. just in time... hahaha... thank papa God! haha... it was nice to see so many kumyanites coming together to play some sports... hahaha... we had floorball, line soccer, table tennis and board games for those that are less sporty. hahaha... it was just so heart-warming. all the families coming together to enjoy one another's company. having fun together is seriously what's lacking in the families of today. many families just doesn't come together to have fun and spend time together... i was tired... i didn't play any games but actually spent some time playing with chavelle and it was tiring... hahaha... but also contributing to it was edwin. (best friend!) haha... a small kid... had fun... hahaha... took pictures with jo and then erica... hahaha... waiting for jo to send me the pictures so that i can put it up here. took a ride after that from chao to school with jiahao so that we can take a bus home from there. hahaha...
on my way home on bus 61 from school with jiahao, we saw a accident near my house and it was a real bad one... the front part of the truck was actually smashed to the brim and there was only a small gap between the front and the back... the driver was stuck in the seat and the last i saw, they were trying to get him out. when i saw it, i began to start thinking of life.
i realised how short life can be. how life can just be taken away from you just in a matter of second. we never know when we will go back to meet papa God . this is not to live in fear but to understand that every second that we are still alive is by grace and it's a gift to be alive. the fact that no one can be sure whether one can wake up from one's sleep tomorrow just prove it. haha... i mean if papa God wants us back, nothing can change that but the only thing we can do is to know that even if we leave now, we will have no regrets and that we have lived our lives to the fullest. so live life and live it well. live it to the fullest and live it in the best way you can.
so today's summary will be one of life. learned so much about life today from papa God. is this a sign? i wonder...
