I remember waking up in the middle of the night to the pitter patter of the rain. I smiled, cuddled under my blanket and returned to sleep.

For some strange reason, I managed to wake up at 7am, continued reading my book and waited for Sara to call me. Had an absolutely marvelous time with her and the weather today reminded me of Australia. Awesome. We need more days like these. So we woke up early, cycled, had breakfast, talked about the many things that are happening in our lives, our church ministries, had QT sharing, and she introduced to me YFC Pods!!! All these by the beach!

Recently, I have started on a new QT book and I really like how the book allows me to study a particular passage or verse for a few days. Every day I am allowed to delve deeper in understanding the passage, the various learning points, and the applications. ☺ Today during my QT sharing with Sara, we talked about what would we be most excited to tell God about our lives when we meet him face to face. I myself find it rather gratifying to boast about some of the things that perhaps are my forte or areas where I have excelled, but I realized how that feeling always seem to fade subsequently.

Am I like the hearer or am I like the builder? Am I building my foundation on rock or sand?

To be honest, there are days I think I am building my house on the rock, and all looks pretty, probably worth a lot, but all that pretty exterior is attributed by wall paper I display for people to see, to admire and to compliment me. WEAK FOUNDATION!!!!!! There are indeed many similarities between the builder and the hearer, but the ultimate outcome of life is radically different.

I feel like a kueh lapis. ☹ I have 3 different tan lines because I have been wearing different tops and going out in the sun, deliberately exposing myself to more UV rays. Anyway, today was really a good break. Becky came over and we watched My Magic by Eric Khoo, popped popcorn and played with my dog. It was a pleasurable afternoon criticizing films, engaging ourselves in politics and being all defensive for the domestic workers in Singapore after watching the life of a maid called Siti. It was quite an eye opener for me because I assume that everybody would treat domestic workers well, and sad to say, my thinking have been too naïve. After which, we walked to Ice Cream Chefs to have ice cream with jeanna and on the way, we flew the most ugly kite ever but had such a great laugh with all the kite eating trees!!! I miss hanging out with these 2 girls who will imitate their teachers, talk about the stupid things we have seen and heard, drama, and plan 101 things to do before holiday ends! ☺ <3

Tomorrow a very long but fun day awaits!! ☺
