So many things to say.. So le-che to type..
Urgent Thot
I have to get this off my chest. Never thought I'd sound like one of the loonies on TV.. but I have to say it...
THE END IS NEAR!!
The tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Wilma (who came up with these names anyway??), the earthquakes - these are only the beginning of the birth pains. These are not merely opportunities for us to be a blessing to the disaster-hit places. These are also opportunities to share the Gospel to them. Thousands of people are dying each and every day without the knowledge of Jesus' saving grace. Now, with all these calamities, we would have to expedite our process of evangelism. Some may attribute this to the monsoon or platonic movements, but we can't deny the fact that the fulfilment of biblical prophesies is happening right before our eyes.
"Turn to me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other."
Isaiah 45:22 (NIV)
Random Thot
Rosa Parks, the mother of civil rights, passed away at the age of 92 yesterday. She was, and I believe she'll always be, an inspiration to the black community in America - to stand up for their rights as a citizen in the Land of the Free.
There was even a movie made about her. That was actually the first time I've heard of this amazing lady. She was the bold seamstress who refused to give up her seat on the bus in 1955, when the buses were separated into 2 sections - the front part for white passangers only, and the back portion for black passengers only. She was jailed and fined US$14. Rev. Martin Luther King Jr followed in her footsteps by campaigning for civil rights for the African-American community.

Annoying Thot
The Hum saga continues..
*In Da Club ringtone ringing (for lack of a better word.. what else can a ringtone be doing??)*
Me: Hello?
Her: Hi June. This is jo-ann, P****'s sister.
Me: Yes?
Her: My sister hasn't been herself these days. This has nothing to do with her ok. Sorry ah, I want to say some things to you which may sound very harsh.
(What the nerve!)
Her: What's this about calling my sister a flirt and forwarding the emails to your friends?
Me: Jo-ann, in the first place, this is between the two of us, so I advise you to keep out. Secondly, I forwarded the emails to Alisa and Saion because they are our friends whom your sister has gone complaining to, and Roy's our leader.
Her: Ok. I'm very defensive of my sister and there are things I want to say to you that are very harsh. I read her diary and found out about some stuff....
Me: Jo-ann, I'm actually very busy right now (ya.. busy talking to Moo.. =P) and let me tell you one more time. It's between the two of us, so keep out of this.
Her: Ok. See you.
Me: Bye.
*Click. Too.....Too.....*
Nothing better to do after PSLE is it?
Dear Jo-ann,
There are things that you're too young to understand. Things that happened in school that you don't have to know in order not to tarnish your good impression of your sister. And it's rude to be reading her diary. Your sister shouldn't be leaving her diary lying around if she doesn't want anyone to read it (unless she does...since she craves the attention). I understandthat you're being protective over your sister. I like you too much to get you involved.
-June-
Sending the email to Hum had been the most liberating thing I have ever done. My close friends can tell you that they've never ever seen me so pissed off before. I'm also never one to say such stinging things to anyone in their face. I've have been pushed beyond my patience limit this time. It's my fault for taking so long to tell her off.
Volcano June has exploded.
Am still contemplating whether I should post the emails here.... *evil wink*
Relieved Thot
Watching "The Golden Girls" makes me thankful that this Hum thingy is not childish at all. I mean, they're like a 100, and the problems thay deal with sound like mine alright.. =P

Myanmar Memories
Pork curry and Google Talk.
The link? Myanmar!
Had pork curry for dinner just now. Guess everyone's afraid of catching the bird-flu and avoid chicken altogether. Brought back memories of the time spent in Yangon. =) The pork curry, not the bird-flu.
Made a date with Terence last week to talk to him online today. It's was great! Shared with him about the Hum saga. Said she emailed him to ask him to get in touch with Meju. Asked me whether I knew she still misses him. I have no idea why when she said she's being very careful around guys at this point in her life!
Anyway, happi thots, happi thots. It was great to talk to Terry after such a long time! The last time I saw him was in Yangon about 9 months ago. It's so refreshing! He's like, what, 22? And he's such a man of faith! He's just so encouraging and faithful! And so willing to serve! He always remembers to keep me in prayer. Such a sweet boy!
Miss those guys back in Yangon so much! Terry... Joey... Bhai... Veron...George... Cindy... Naw... Meju... Thar Ji...
Well, looking forward to see him online tomorrow... =)

Bittersweet Symphony
Bittersweet Thots
Yesterday's junior cluster barbecue was fun! Loads of marshmallows and people-dunking after that. Heh.. It's tradition! =)
Jimmy put up a strong fight - a full 5 minutes of struggling before Kwang How and gang managed to drag him to the pool. =P
Today's service was...different..=) Leaders were asked to go to the front to be prayed for by the youths whom we're serving anhd then the leaders can pray for those who rededicated themselves to serve the community. It was a touching time of prayer when my cell kids came up to pray for me. I didn't expect it though, since I haven't been the best cell leader. It felt really good. =) Though I couldn't really hear what Debbie was praying. =P Moses and gang were a bit taken aback when they saw me all teary. Haha. Then I prayed for the cell to grow spiritually and to learn to love one another in His love. Julia teared. And it was the first time I actually felt that the cell has started bonding.. 10 months of hard work hasn't gone down the drain after all. =) Thank God for his grace!

Later in the afternoon... I was kinda disappointed at the outcome coz I really felt that he's capable of doing better. But I just want him to be happy. Wanted to give him a big hug. He seemed indifferent. I will try my very best to cheer him up (I'm really bad at this).
