Haha, what a day ...
Haha, what a day ...
Hmm... it's an interesting day today ... Oh well, I've kind of "recovered" from my moodiness =) - thanks to those who had sent me messages and encouragements, and of course to God who is ever faithful and patient with me when I'm in my "tantrum" mood towards Him =)
So relax ...
This morning's lesson at theological college was quite light and relaxed - after all the weeks of learning to look at one case study from different perspective, some of which are kind of "over the head" =P For once, my brain wasn't fried =) And it's great to have lecturers who inject humor here and there during lessons, and who's also interactive and willing to receive our "stupid and funny" questions, taking all our nonsenses =P Of course there are also lecturers who are "prim and proper", who makes you "feel" that you need to phrase your questions "theologically", and give "politically correct answers", or otherwise "hold your peace" kind :o) - I guess it's a check and balance and we need a variety of different personality otherwise we might "zao-fan" =)
Then it was chapel after lessons and since I'm on duty every Friday, there's no escape *wink*. Fortunately, my wonderful friend was there on the piano, and me accompanying him on the keyboard. Heehee, with him around, I don't need to fear I can't play or whatever, coz like what he always say "Why worry, I'll cover you." =) Thanks. Whenever he plays, I'll always feel relaxed. *Grin*
So embarassing ...
Well, had to come back to school after lessons at college to attend to CCA. As usual, I park my car at the front gate instead of the back gate since I know that CCA's going to end late and we don't want to hold up the guard at the back gate waiting for us to clear the school. Well, lots in the front gate are all taken up and since we usually double-park each other, that's what I did also - but I remembered checking to see if I will possibly inconvenience anyone before locking the car and moving to my office.
And then, guess what? My colleague from general office was trying to get me on my mobile, and before I could return the missed call, I heard the announcement over the school's PA system, "Ms .... we need you to move your car now as it's blocking a lorry that is trying to get out." Oh my! That was so embarassing - over the PA system and the whole school heard it! =P I immediately hoped there is an underground hole to swallow me up.
Well, the story goes ... as I went to move my car, where's the lorry? No lorry! Apparently it managed to "wriggle" its way out without hitting any vehicle. Mine, it's so embarassing ok. And after that, I had my colleagues teasing me and one male colleague was laughing his head off - and when I met him again at the corridor, we just burst out laughing =)
So sad ...
Then it was time for CCA - we had our prayer meeting and I showed the girls a movie, which my lecturer screened in class some weeks ago. It was a short clip which feature father and son relationship. It was pretty sad - watching how the father agonizes for his son to respond to his love, waiting patiently for his son, cooking meals after meals for his son, hoping his son will take time to speak with him, etc. The only "regret" is that the movie's produced in Hokkien, but fortunately there's English subtitles.
After watching it, the girls all said, "So sad ...", "So poor thing ..." I was hoping that the girls could get the message - not just about parent-children relationship, but also relating the movie to our relationship with God. Thankfully, with some help and prompting, they managed to think and learnt what I hoped they would. I got them to do some reflection and write down what they felt and learnt and challenged them to really put the lessons learnt into application. I sincerely hope that what was learnt will not be forgotten ...
So fun ...
Well, time with the girls are always fun =) They had to sit for a short "test" because of some badgework requirement and after that the older ones helped to mark the scripts of their juniors, plus their own. I was with the older ones guiding them in the marking of the scripts. I know most of them had fun marking - hopefully some will be inspired to be teachers =P And when we needed to wait for one of them to tally and record the marks, we became a bit "bored" that we began telling each other lame jokes, laughing over them, and playing really lame games. But I had fun, and I guess they too =)
God surely know that we need checks and balances in our life - and He has a unique sense of humor too =) Isn't it contrasting between relaxing and embarassing, sad (solemn) and fun? But in everything, God's hand is there, and His presence is there too!
