lessons
yesterday was a really good day la.
went for breakfast with mum and dad in the morning.
dad was talking about the corruption
*some text missing*
i'm just really convinced that people in singapore SHOULD be content and grateful to the government in singapore. sure there would be a little corruption here and there but seriously, i think that we really have a very good govt in here. and those of you thinking about the casino, i think that we should support it. i used to be against it but yesterday, daddy explained to us why the govt is doing this. right now it's not whether the people are against this idea or not because no matter wat, the project will still have to go on. in this small little dot where we aint got natural resources, how will we be able to survive in the next 10 20 yesrs? more and more investors are moving on to china and india where labour costs are cheap. who will come here? the only other alternativve whould be to attract foreigners by building the casino no? in due time, msia and indonesia are bound to catch up. how will singapoe survive as this small little island then? that's where the casino comes in.
in the afternoon, ching and i and a few other friends went to bugis... didn't get anything much. managed to get a bdae prez! yep! haha..had a really good time lah.. seems like ching and hmmm..the other 2 or three are coming for tmr's x games.
went to gradma's house for dinner last night. as usual..but dad got really angry with caleb when he refused to go la. i raised my voice at him last night as well. i was in a hurry to go there cause i also had to get a stamp done at one of the shops for project work. so we spent like ages trying to get him to come with us but in the end, mummy stayed home with caleb. sigh..guess i can't really blame anyone.. he's still having his pox though it's really not so bad anymore.
on the way home in dad's car, we were listening to the bbc news on radio and i heard that many people around the world are worried for pope john paul cause he was having a throat operation yesterday. then i remembered what grandpa said to me last week when we were talking at macs. he said that iff God wants you to do something, he will help you. if god brings yout o it he will bring you through it. if He wants you for a work He's doing, he will definitely not let you suffer and leave you there to help yourself. if god gives you a bad throat, maybe he wants you to rest. if he wants you to continue with the operation, he wants you to trust in him and believe that everything will turn out right. in His word, he tells us not to worry about anything but pray about it and trust that He will make things turn out right. yeah.
so to sum up the whole of yesterady, it was a really really good day.
i just came back from breakfast with mum at the market. yup.. and we were talking just now. and she told me that it's really hard to raise teenagers cause you have to give them space to grow and see them fall at the same time. it's like having to strike a balance between freedom and responsibility cum discipline. many of us want freedom, more than what is given us. but i think we lso have to understand what worries our parent will have if they give us the freedom that we want. sometimes, we get really frustrated with them and stuff but we also have to keep in mind that being a parent of a teenager is not that easy la.
i remember how worried and frustrated and angry(and wat not) mum was with me last year. it was pretty emotional la. well, there was a lot of tension between the two of us and i dreaded going home but i had no choice cause i had to call her from home everyday when i reached home..like reporting for duty. i remember missing 2 or 3 weeks of church and i remember her saying "now never go to church become naughty girl already". then i went to church the following week. some time after..can't exactly remember what happened..but i think she realized that she couldn't restricct me so much so she let things be and um..i shared stuff with her and we became closer. then well, when the whole of God's plan was complete, and everything was done, here i am, reflecting on it again. i guess i grew a lot last year..and this year. i'm much closer to mum than i was before..and i guess, i'm beginning to appreiate dad as well.. like last night, i was desperately trying to study science in the living room but the tv was too noisy so i wnt to mum and dad's room so study. then dad came in to fix the tv there. the volume was very distracting la.. told him to mute it cause he was just doing the colour.. but then he got hooked on to the show and "shhh!"ed me. frustrated and desperate, i was like "GUO FEN LEH NI!" and i left the room. then after that i felt kinda guilty....yeah...but i never said sorry.
time to end now..
moral of all th stories:
1) be thankful that we hve such a good govt.
2) trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.
3) it's hard being a parent. be thankful that you have one.
thanx for wasting you time at my blog!
byee!!
