this is the way my day usually go:

i usually am down with what i call the silent scream syndrome (SSS). i wake up with a whole body full of silent screams... wondering where i've 'topped up' in the night. i dread the start of the day, and drag myself out of the bed eventually, not without wrestling wif sleep for a long while.

then with much prayer n grumbling to God, i struggle thru the day, doing my work with increasing joy and thankfulness to Jesus for His srength, grace and encouragement. and usually, my day will end with a bang - a climax i wouldnt have imagined.

like yesterday, i was eating dinner wif Liebe wen the lady i sat diagonally across turned out to be my pri 3 classmate! she initiated the conversation (if not, i would've blur blur not have noticed). turns out she is Liling- an EXTREMELY quiet gal. she refused to talk to anyone, didnt even respond to teachers' questions! but only talk to her 2 other friends. she had always puzzled me as to why she doesnt talk to other pp... however she dun rem me trying to talk to her!( i was like " of course i got try to talk to you lah.. i so friendly one.... i was much less noisy, obtrusive, obnoxious 18 years ago...) i think she forgot she never talk to others! but thankfully she remembered me (my full name some more!) and even remembered that i had wanted to be a doctor (she oso asked if henry is a doc. both of us didnt become docs. CMI lah... hee... but turns out everyone knew i wanted 2 b doc... even henry, after finding me on friendster asked me if i m a doc now! so much for being the sci whiz kid...). n also mentioned that i was pretty (note: WAS!!!) haha. [like i always say... i tihnk puberty is the great equalizer - reverses one's fortunes! hee hee]

my highlight was that Liling is also a Christian and was juz recently baptised. she had even gone for mission trip to M'sia! i really was overjoyed at our reunion! n was super giving thanks for her salvation. n also puzzled over how is it that we both, having stayed in the same place for the past 18 years, have not even bumped into each other (not even once!) till now! asked her her prayer requests, prayed for her... n left still feeling so high. wow. found another friend!

woke up today actually calling out (aloud) to Jesus cos again had SSS! i m blogging now cos decided to take half day leave... to sleep in... n blog and think thru some stuff... the morn's short man... need to go off liao... DG at 1 in NUS... but yesh... m looking forward to today... knowing that God has written a wonderful day filled with His blessing and wonderful opportunities for me to be a blessing to others too... enjoy yours too.
