Jeremiah 17:7-8
Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
And whose hope is the LORD.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters,
Which spreads out its roots by the river,
And will not fear when heat comes;
But its leaf will be green,
And will not be anxious in the year of drought,
Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

Do you ever think that taking a ride on the MRT train is boring??
Well, think again!
hah. I had a few pleasant surprises and a weird incident on Thurs and Fri.
On Thurs morning, I took the 5.37am train from Bedok to Dover on my way to camp. I sat down beside this RGS girl and was trying to sleep. However, due to slight sinus, I felt my mucus starting to flow out of my nose and I started sniffing to prevent the mucus from flowing out. It lasted for around 5 mins till the RGS girl beside me tapped on my shoulder. Initially, I thought that she accidentally hit me but when I turned over, she actually offered me a piece of tissue! Hah. Quite a pleasant suprise! Heh. It was nice and caring of her. She got off at City Hall MRT station.
On the same day during evening, I was on the train from Dover back to Bedok on my way home. At Bouna Vista MRT station, a girl entered into the train and sat down while I was standing right in front of her. Somehow she kept staring at me and I couldn't figure out why. It was only when the train was at Raffles Place MRT station then she suddenly talked to me.
Here's the converstaion:
She - Are you from VJ?
I (Looking shocked) - Yes.
She - No wonder I find you familiar.
I - What class are you from?
She - 04S15
I (then it dawned on me that she was Chin Leng's classmate) - Oh, are you Mei Xian?
She - Yes.
Then, the train reached City Hall MRT station and she had to get off so we bade farewell to each other. I must stay that she has an ultra sweet voice that is totally memesrizing! Hah. She actually reminded me of a Japanese actress who looks ultra cute and sweet. Heh. But too bad, she is already attached. Sighs. I should have made my move in VJ! Argh.
Anyways, this morning (Fri) I had a weird incident on the train on my way to camp. An old auntie came and sat beside me. Somehow, I felt very uneasy with her. It seems like she is slightly mentally unstable. While I was trying to take a nap on the train, she suddenly tapped me and I turned over to her.
Here's the exchange we had (in chinese):
She - Ah boy ar?
I - Yes?
She - You know hor.. My mum is in coma in hospital.. Then the doctor say that this part (pointing to the left portion of the stomach) is inflammed. Do you know what is this part called?
I (though I think that the doctor was referring to the liver) - I'm not very sure, sorry.
She - This part.. this part... (pointing to it again) *sighs* Don't know whether is it left or right (pointing to the left and right portion) My mum is in coma.. *sighs*
I - I really don't know.
She (suddenly came over to my side and pointed at the same portion of my body) - This part...
I - I'm sorry.
She sighs and mumbled to herself. Then she turned to the other person beside her.
I guess I kind of pity her but I got freaked out slightly by her also. Oh wells.
May God bless her soul!
