Grape stripe peanut butter
Grape stripe peanut butter
Phew! Felt like a buzzing bee today … making sure tomorrow’s FD order of service is updated and done … making sure the 2 e-books which my P wanted me to help collate and coordinate can be ready by tomorrow for a soft launch … making sure I get the script of my speech done up – sigh* 3rd time in 3 consecutive years doing the emceeing and worship leading for this event – would be my last this year (a bit tired plus time to give others a chance to rise up also =), so I better give it one good shot, and moreover we have a GOH from the Ministry!! Pressure, pressure, and it’s a combine event tomorrow with the Primary School. Celebration for our 90 years – wow! BIG event k …
Maybe it’s because of all these buzzing around, that for the first time I go hungry twice within 3 hours?? Not that I didn’t have breakfast – I had a slice of bread, and then another “dosage” of noodles around 9plus, and I’m craving for rice at like, 12plus??? =( Mine, waistline is definitely going to expand at this rate =( okay, okay, don’t tell me I can afford it, I don’t buy that =P
Talking about breakfast - I had grape stripe peanut butter WITHOUT the grape stripe!! All thanks to my wonderful nephew and niece who scrap all the grape away, leaving only the peanut butter - and well, the absence of the grape stripe kind of make the peanut butter so dry and sticky - stickier than usual, and less tasty =(
Sigh* mum's always so easily "bullied" - fourth sis brought down this bottle of grapeless peanut butter to see if mum wants it (well, we are all brought up to be thrifty - finishing all the grain of rice we can find in our bowls, and not throwing away anything that can be eaten or used) and you guess it! She "inherited" the bottle of grapeless peanut butter, and because she has gout, we forbid her to take anything that will worsen her condition. So there goes, it's mine and sis to finish ... =(
This grapeless peanut butter kind of make me think how our younger generation are now becoming so self-centered ... don't you agree? This is a I-me-mine generation - just open your eyes to observe things around and you will find lots of them ...
- speaking and laughing loudly like the entire shopping complex, or train, or bus, or library, etc belong to them (I mean, I can understand that sometimes we laugh heartily at jokes, but often times some of these things are a bit too much and insensitive to the general public)
- displaying PDA in public (you've read about it from the newspaper during the recent weeks too, I believe)
- picking the favorite dishes or ingredient from within a plate of food
- not greeting or respecting those older than them. Amazing how we sometimes have to greet them first! - not that we LONG for them to greet us, but that's basic courtesy isn't it? Gone were the days where you greet those older than you when you step into a home, acknowledge those around the table before you dig into your food, keep your elders informed of your whereabouts, etc
The list can go on, am I not right? No longer we are a nation that is so known by our KS identity - we can't lose out, we're afraid to lose out, and because so, we put ourselves as the center of everything and everyone else pales in consideration to our own needs. SAD! =(
Philippians 2:3-4 reminds us to "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."
Let's take a while and reflect if we have been so "I-me-myself" in our ways and treatment of others. Learn to put yourself in the shoes of the other person and always consider the other persons' needs before yours. Hard, right? But that's God's challenge to us!
