What About Today

I went late for youth service today. Joyce laa… The famous slow-poke procrastinator. (If that’s the right way to describe her…) Hahaha. I stayed over her house last night, after what seemed like a very, very long time. I used to stay over her house nearly every week. But now we’ve all have different programs for the weekends, so I kinda’ stopped going over so often.

Today in youth church my dad announced that we’ll be called Grace Youth (GY) church from now onwards – along with the youth churches in PJ and USJ. So, now we’re all in this together. Justin Ooi came to join us today, and he co-worship led with Adrian. It was a good service, but like Jon Chandra said, the testimony time was waaaayyy too long. Partly because Zlwin was the emcee, I guess. :P Haha, really la!

And finally, I met Shirlyn and Evelyn! They’ve been missing out for so long. Good thing they’re back now. AND, I heard Lilian sprained her ankle, that’s why she couldn’t come for our first youth service of the year… Yes, I’m talking about Lilian Tang. (Psst, she must have been too hyper in school already…) Haha. And there were two visitors from Glad Tidings, Klang – Melanie and Britannia.

I wanted to post this picture last week. Grabbed it from Zlwin's blog today. Su Ling and her new hairstyle!

Zlwin actually wore his pink polka dot boxers - sincerely given by Shannon and Jian Quin. Mwehehe.

Samantha played keyboard today.

Justin Ooi


Gossshh, he's really hanging out with Adrian pretty much weih. :P

Credits to Jessica Soo. I was flippin' through Jon Chandra's bible.

:) Hehe, just for fun. (:

Well, that’s about all. Tomorrow there’s a youth service in PJ. And what may the theme be?

SUPERNATURAL.

We’re all supposed to come in funky head gears or somethin’, but I haven’t found anything funky enough yet. Haha. Ah well, for now, I’m going to bed. I actually told someone today that I might have contracted “conjunctivitis”. At first, I thought. Well I did feel unusually sick this morning… But there seems to be nothing wrong with me now. I hope. And I do hope there’s Rangers tomorrow. For some reason, I miss it. Hahah. See you guys tomorrow, then!

The Pretty Mosquito

For the first time ever, I caught a pretty-looking mosquito!

Yes, you got that right. And take note – I said I “caught” a pretty-looking mosquito. I did not use the usual words, like, “squashed” or “killed”.

I even have proper proof to display it on my blog. Aha, PROOF!

And, I also have a story to tell.

It’s not a common occurrence that you manage to “catch” a mosquito – an exquisite-looking one, especially. But what slight chance would you have of actually catching one without squashing or smashing it with the palm of your hand? Well, here’s my story then.

While I was reading a book, a hideous-looking (that was at first sight, of course) bug-thingy landed on the page I was reading. I gasped. Oh golly, a mosquito! Instinctively, I raised my hand with a sudden surge of energy and did just one thing I thought was sensible…

SMACK!

A mean smile spread across my face. (I seldom get the chance to kill mosquitoes, mind you.) Raising my palm triumphantly, I was eager to see the squash-to-pulp remains of the squeaky mosquito. Unfortunately, I found it was still half-alive! Its frail legs (if you permit me to actually refer them as, “legs”…) were kicking a little. Then here comes the unbelievable part.

I stared at the mosquito. Then I started to admire its shiny-green-metallic sort of shell. Sorry, I’m not a mosquito person, so you don’t expect me to use proper terms to describe it. Can you believe it, for the first time in my life, I actually admired a mosquito! But this particular mosquito looked pretty to me. And of course, it didn’t die because I was meant to take a portrait of it before its most memorable death! (Forgive me if I sound mean, but really, it’s a mosquito, for goodness sake.)

Glad for another unexpected photo-snapping opportunity, I started snapping with my camera. I like the one when the mosquito was on my hand. After the “photo shoot”, I decided to try reviving the poor mosquito. I blew on it. And guess what? It actually fluttered its wings and flew! Yeah, you must be thinking I’ve gone mad to have not smacked the mosquito harder. So it’s probably somewhere stabbing and sucking someone’s blood now.

Mind my nail, haha.

I posted the this on my Flickr page, and a friend commented: You are really doing the world record in macros with that camera! :)

Oh well, everyone needs a life, I guess. And mosquitoes don’t deserve to be squashed like a nobody, you know…

Haha, I was just kidding laa! AND, I made up happy-ending part of the story, where I said the mosquito flew away when I blew on it. If that really happened, it would have been a spectacular miracle. Anyway, the truth is, after the “photo shoot”, I really couldn’t resist the urge to squash it already la…

So I squished it anyhow – with much pleasure. ;P

1st January, 2008

I have a splendid quote for you.

“Every exit is an entry somewhere else.”

I just exited year 2007 yesterday. And today is an entry to a year of new beginnings and great adventures – year 2008. I had a splendid past year. It was a good year. I accomplished different things and learned so much. God has made Himself real in my life. Now year 2008 lies ahead of me. Am I prepared enough to face the challenges that lie ahead of me? Perhaps not, but God be with me, and I’ll be ready enough.

“You will call upon me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.” – Jeremiah 29:12

A Blessed New Year to you!
