@ my grandma's, sitting at the porch,reflecting upon the whole week's events. Its kinda pretty I think. (Other than the cigarette smell that really irks me!) I'm sitting under this dimly lit fan lamp.. warm orange light. + there's some drizzle now.. romantic leh.. i love this setting :P What's lacking is just a cup of good coffee and some serenity.(my parents are watching tv, argh! haha)

have been lazy to update my blog.. so now i'll just list what i remember from the week.. :P

This week has been quite 'eventful'.. cos its packed with events..
Mon night : tennis with aunty ling2, Ching, dinner after that, reached home at 1130
Tues : Started work at Uncle Victor's. Ikea with Zhiye and a trip to his new home in ntu
Wed : rest
Thurs night: Movie with a weird combi, still.. quite alright
Fri night: Coaching, played a match and stopped after having some difficulty breathing -_-
Sat : FINALLY.. I rested. still very tired.. and not feeling too well. coaching.
Sun : ... I dunno.. coaching definitely and rest day

I've started work at the game coy. It has definitely been much more interesting and enjoyable than the accounts department at the previous company. Haha no offense to the accountants, just that im easily bored see. hee (Accounts is BOring!;p) Do admin, test games... hee. how many people can officially play games during office hours. ME! hee envious leh! I've been learning alot too.. not just how games are roughly created, how game coys collaborate even with institutions, I've also been learning how to work under a christian boss and also the characters of different people.
Its no wonder the Bible talks about how man are spiritually blinded that they take even the silliest thing in the world to worship as if a god. And how christians can speak blindly through their eyes how faithful they are, how they take pride in the number of years they attend church yet their way of doing things, what they say, their behaviour betray their very word they talk about their faith. It sad though to see such a person. They THINK that they are in the light, yet they cannot be bothered if they really saw the light or not and when someone tell them that they are still in the darkness, they turn a deaf ear. It reminds me of my grandmother too.

No doubt she has accepted Christ in some mega church, there's nothing in her life that reflects the true conviction of her profession. She doesn't want to know more about God but just solely believes that God will bless her materially, physically, all's well and that's all she wants. There's so much I want to tell her.. that this Christian God is not like the buddha or goddess of mercy that is manipulated easily or simply blesses what YOU want and are basically moulded into your own thinking. This Christian God is a God that gives her life, gives her a family, keeps her and the family.... look at Him! not herself... its not as if God doesnt know her needs, just that that this relationship with her dear God is so much more important than material and physical satisfaction.

Haven really been reading and praying.. I then experienced literally how Satan uses this opportunity to attack my mind and soul. My temperaments change, my behaviour change, my words got harsher and stuff... are there times when you regret immediately the words that jus slip out of your mouth and the way you feel about things? That you shouldnt have said what you said, done what you did or feel what you felt... I do man. Many times. I guess God has already warned me before I was tempted to just give up.. cos this passage in Ephesians was specially striking when I read it :
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints" Ephesians 6:10-18
I guess its just me.. not willing to submit and find ways in which I can apply God's word in my life, only waiting for situations that test my faith, then sometimes fails it. Temptations are great... For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.(eph6:12)..

Anw, the trip to ikea was quite fun. I've always loved to walk around in ikea or just any furniture shops..fantasizing the layout of my room, the things to buy.. simply just have fun! hee Went to ntu hall 4 after tat. The little corner room of Zhiye's made me feel so fortunate staying in Eusoff! haha. Yea.. it was really small and old and... hmm dark? (Harry Potter's room eh?)

Talking about Harry Potter, I thought the book was more engaging than the movie. Not that fantastic after all. The book successfully portrayed an agonised Harry but not the movie.. and since the book itself was already quite draggy, lest the movie. Like how CH puts it, e climax was too short; it's way too draggy in front; (list not exhaustive).. the combi was weird.. I felt it that way too, not just you dearest.. hee that would prob be the 1st n last time..

Friday's coaching was (thank God) a breeze, 2 monkeys and 1 super cutie! Thank God they listened to me if not i think i would have flared up with my kind of physical condition that night.. After that I played a match and went breathless, felt like a hyperventilation, but it wasnt la. So I stopped, went home, concussed.zzzz.and that's also why Jac couldnt get me when she smsed me at 1am... haha.. was fast asleep by then :P
