Day 4/48

Whee!

I took a risk this morning, by disobeying the other half and going out on cleats with little prior practice. They promised me the 'shorter route' but ended up going to NeoTiew anyways!
nevertheless, i made it out unscathed, a few scary moments but =) no falling, just not going fast enough cos scared scared.

Thankew everyone for waiting, especially the 5am esso bunch (sans Mr Tan aka 1-ton) for waiting for me although i was crawling along, & reminding me at the traffic lights =)

As we took the longer route, only managed to reach home at 1045am, had to cab to church to get there on time. Thankfully, there was still 2 songs left in worship by the time i reached. Pastor Reuben Ng preached today - on"Time is of the Essence".

He started the sermon with an emphasis on time & how we use it. basically 3 points : 1)intentional 2)intelligent 3) wise use of time.
A timely reminder that our time here on earth is temporal, and that our existence is not just to be part of this world, but to be with God in His eternal kingdom.

Hence begets the question of what is eternal life - according to John 17:3 - it is to "know God".
As in any relationship - to know someone , u have to spend time with the someone.
Thus the cost of our Discipleship in Christ is our time - how we spend time with God.
spending time with God is not equal to doing things for Him !

He told a funny joke about creation that goes something like this:
After God had created Adam and made him guardian over the creatures of the earth, He decided to give Adam a helper/mate.
G: Adam, I'm going to give you a helpmate, a wife.
A: What's that?
G: A wife is someone who cares for you, cooks cleans and washes all your clothes (God had foresight), doesn't nag at you, doesnt yell at you, is always patient and understanding...(i forget what else)
A: What would that cost me?
G: Well, an arm and a leg.
A: Wah, what can I get for a rib ?

Headed to Gardens after church just to say hi. Daddy was working on some machine parts, as usual Fabian and Thaddeus were playing Grand Theft Auto. Ate some rice , otah and te bak that Mama cooked. She went out to play Mahjong again. Sam wasnt home.
Went to see Mummy & did my nails - quite a walkin customers came in so felt a bit bad that i gave her extra work. kena scolding about my nails - must wear less closed shoes or il continue damaging my nails she says. told her to go see Gino, but i think she's a lil sceptical about physios now.

sun was nice and hot - the way you like it. ended up cabbing home so i could skype u.

Parents came home about 6 plus. was vvv hungry by that time.
dinner: 1 sausage roll , 2 slices of pizza & lots of veg for dinner
breakfast: 1 milo b4 ride, 1 peanut butter bread after ride
lunch: rice, otah ,fish te bak
snack: 1 apple, 1 orange
post dinner snack: 1 kiwi, 3 raisin cookies.

drove back to gardens to get the trainers at about 8pm - mummy came with me.
parked behind Daddy's van but very far out =p, didnt feel confident doing a 3 pt turn out, so drove down to the bottom of the hill and came out through Crowhurst =p

on the way home met a really impatient Lexus SUV - i slowed to let a car cut in front of me, n he tries to cut me from the right. at the V last moment - if i was 1 s faster i would have hit him.gAH
reminds me of u when ur in a rush or when ur angry tho. i am the kind of driver u love to hate...so be a lil nicer to women drivers on the road?

now understand how much it takes to drive when ur tired - nursing a headache to and fro ...
