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.

I was on off today.
Thank GOD that it wasn't another rainy day. Heh.
I met Zhao Yi for lunch and movie at PS today. We had lunch at Ichiban Sushi. The food is not bad. We managed to catch the 2.15pm show - Night in the Museum. I know the movie has been out for quite a while already but I haven't had the time to catch any movies. Oh wells. The movie is quite funny. Nice plot with laughing points that are not lame but funny. Hah. Yea.
We went down to Millenia Walk as I wanted to go to Earl to visit Aunt Caroline. Today was supposed to be her off day and I was supposed to go out shopping with her but somehow the boss didn't allow her and she had to work today. As usual, I chatted with her about her life, work and family. After which, me and Zhao Yi left and made our way home.
I don't know why but i feel kind of empty today. Something is missing. Sighs.
I got home at around 7.30pm and took my dinner. Then my mum came over and complained about my phone bill for last month. It went up to 160+ bucks! I was pretty shocked but I expected it to be quite high since last month was Decemeber and we were all busy preparing for Christmas services. So naturally, the phone bill went up. My mum even threatened to stop my phone plan as the contract comes to an end in April. Sighs. How nice of her! Its not that I don't want to pay but just that I really have no money left! I only received a pathetic pay of 420 bucks per month and 250 bucks goes to Church building fund and tithe every month, another 110 bucks for transport and I only have 60 bucks to spend for the month which includes food expenses etc! ARGH. Sighs.
I guess I'm kind of frustrated with my parents. They don't seem to understand that its not that I want to have such high phone bills but it is necessary! Oh wells. I should start looking a part time job at night. Sighs.
A portion of lyrics from "Now is the Time" by Delirious? is kind of stuck in my mind the whole day.
Here's how it goes:
I want to follow but what does it mean
To live in this world and keep everything clean.
Nothing I own here is ever my own
When I live in the mercy and blessing you've shown.
I lay down my rights; see the world through your eyes
And fight for the hungry who pay for our lives.
I want to have you in all of my world
So Jesus consume me, flow through me, cos now is the time
Deo Volente prayed to God at 8:43 PM
