was packing the last bit of my room today and came across 2 things that i found paticularly..interesting.2 posts ago, i talked about how i remembered that when i was younger, i never quite took my parents "nos" too well. but it dawned on me while reading my prayer journal from last year that had i paid more heed to God's gentle nos, some things may be different. what amazes me though, is how He is so so patient and slow to anger when I don't take heed. so often, when i'm consumed or preoccupied by what I want, I ignore His voice or don't even hear it. yet, in His mercy and goodness and love, He doesn't forsake me. i may wander in the desert for a longer time, yet He still leads me to the promised land. what grace! (ok, this ain't the most coherent explanation of things...but it'll do for this space)on a lighter note, i found something from secondary school! it was this email i printed out. was one of those random fill-in-the-blanks-about-your-friend kinda thing and a good friend of mine did it for me when we were in sec 4 for the fun of it. i think it was one of those "send this to 3 friends" kinda thing with questions for them to answer about u. it was done like 6 years ago but some things have actually come to pass lah! is that freaky or what?! others are well...let's jsut say age-specific? haha well i'm gonna put some excerpts of it here. :) stuff in red is me now unable to resist commenting. hahaWhat's one of my favourite things to do? talk on the phone and write letters (hahaha yeah, i have a huuuuge bag full of letters people wrote back to testify to that man! haha and i used to get into trouble for being on the phone all the time...but tt stopped after like..jc? haha lav, our one-hr long conversation tonight was an exception)Who are my closest friends? michelle tan and the people u sent this to (haha yeah!! mich is perhaps the one i've remained closest to from mg over the years! i don't know who else i sent the email to coz it's not on the email. haha)Would you say that I am funny? well...i would rather say funny with a tinge of sarcasm at times (oh my gosh...i was sarcastic back then already??? hahaha)Am i a rebel or do i follow all the rules? Well, let's put it this way, w/o all the bull, it all comes down to, follow the rules (hahaha yeah, tt's still the way i am now ain't it?)Who do i like right now? nah, you're too sensible to be into guys...and even if you do like a guy, i doubt you will ever admit it as of now. (hahahah i nearly died of laughter reading this. lav, i bet ur laughing ur socks off too. haha)Where will i be and what will i be doing 10 years from now? remember i once commented that i think you would be the first married among all of us? in 10 years...you should be 26? either you are married with a kid or you are in a darn stable relationship with someone you met like...10 years ago (which happens to be...now!) And i think you would be pursuing a degree in theology or child-psychology. (hahaha ok this is hilarious. i'm suppose to be the first to get married? haha sure doesn't look like that's gonna happen...funny how my sec sch AND jc frens always thot i'd get married first tho. oh...but caroline was almost right about the kinda degree i'd be pursuing! haha)haha ok so enough of that...it so confirms i'm old.
