Whose name??

I had mixed feelings of "whatever - i don't care, i don't want to care" and anger when i found out one of my dad's letter had a joined name with that woman. After noticing that name, i just don't want to care and put the letter back to the original place.

Later at night, my mom asked whether did i notice that letter? She said that woman's name had the same surname as my mom... That is a letter of the new apartment that my dad and that woman just bought.

I don't know how to express it out. In another hand, i just don't wish to know anything about my dad and that woman.


**WHATEVER!!**

Chocolate for lunch... kekekeke

I did not want to eat chocolate only... but because i forget to bring any bread from home today so i do not have any food to eat. Ask me to go out and have lunch alone, nein danke... no thank you...

Before another round of food, invited for dinner with Jurgen and Beate, we went downtown.. hehehee... the purpose is to buy ice cream to eat... for my last time ok?? Enjoying the view of early autumn, we walked to dl's uni before going to buy ice cream.

Pic 8: In front of dl's uni with autumn look...

Pic 9: 2 scoops of ice cream for my last time here in Albstadt. Actually the ice cream's look can be more tempting but because dl met her teenies after i bought my ice cream and dl chatted with them, so after a while, the ice cream left like that... hehehe

Pic 10: One whole stretch on the left is the fence of Johannes' house, so how big is Johannes' castle??

Alrite, time to go for dinner again... it was a very full day... full with food... While we are there, Beate and papa was doing some renovation stuff while Jurgen preparing Italian Food for us...

Anyway, we went home early because tomorrow Jurgen is fetching me to the airport at 5am... so he need to rest early loh....

Inline Downhill

Yes! Spätzle... My favorite food again... Had lunch in papa mama's house together with their god-son that came from Sri Lanka who stayed in Germany for 21 years already...

Pic 6: Da da...... Inline downhill... hahahaa...


Pic 7: Is roller blade competition...


Pic 8: Very exciting curve for them...

We have to walk a long way to see this competition because the roads are closed. Then we pass by Jurgen and Beate's house before we leave home.

Came home to pack pack pack!!! Going home soon..... how will i feel when i depart with my dl this Tue afternoon?

Short Term Memory Lost??

Oh Lord, what should i do? Help me, heal me from short term memory lost....

I woke up at 8am when the alarm clock ring, still on my bed i was thinking hard what time is the service today. Finally i though it was 10am so there i went to did my QT, bath and get ready myself before waking dl up. I was happy because it is my last Sunday in the church in Albstadt. I want to say goodbye to the church members here.

Never did i realised that i was completely wrong when i wake dl up and he said, "Oh, we are late!" Then i know that ohhhh.... i am wrong again!!! I have been having this short term memory lost. I always forget things very quickly. I have been to the church in Albstadt for the past 6 weeks or so but still i can't remember the service time. Is this serious??

I felt very very bad when we walked downhill to the church. Not because we are late, i know that as long as i have the heart, God is merciful. Furthermore it is not done on purpose. I felt bad because am i really suffering from SHORT TERM MEMORY LOST? There are many cases that i couldn't remember what i have said, or what people have said to me... i just can't remember certain things in my mind...

The service is only 1 hour in dl's church but because we are late, we only attended 30 minutes service. Hahahaa... The best thing was when we arrive at the doorstep of the church, Hardmut open the church door and the welcomed us in where the rest of the church members looked at us... heheheheehee... and dl still have the gut to say, "Morgen," means morning to the whole church... hahahaha... then we wanted to sit at the back row but it was full and we have to walk all the way to the front and as we sat, the pastor greeted me in front of the pulpit and said, "The church would like to say goodbye to you, have a safe journey home and God bless."....

OOhhhh.... bad because we are late but somehow we are like very ON TIME that the church greeted us... hehehehe, well service went on and we had communion. It was done very differently from my church back in Malaysia, nevertheless, it is still the same, we are serving ONE GOD.

Then, as usual we stayed 1 hour after service fellowshipping, this is a very warm church, friendly church or we can say it is a family church that everyone treats everyone like their own close family member.

At 11am we came home and took a short nap before going to papa mama's house for lunch. I still feel bad and i actually cried a while before taking my nap, just want to release out and i felt better after crying.

Actually i'm not sure why i'm feeling bad... Is it really about my short term memory lost or a big impact on me after feeling so happy early morning thinking to go to church for the last time in Albstadt but ended up late to church?? I am not sure really....

Bah Ku Teh

This is a hair style that dl tied for me... hahahaha... it was late at night about 1+am before i wanted to sleep, he said he know how to tie hair so end up it look like this... not bad huh?? heheheheee...


Pic 1: Super star??

Today we wanted to cook for Jurgen and Beate, so early morning we went downtown to buy all the ingredients that we need. And Jurgen came and fetch us at 11am. They are still renovating their house while dl and i prepare lunch for them. We cooked Bah Ku Teh for them... yummy yummy... hehehee...


Pic 2: Garlic and chili... Btw, Germans don't like garlic, whenever u had garlic, they will all go away from u but there are some who don't mind too... like Jurgen and Beate? Hehehee, coz we want to cook original Bah Ku Teh, Malaysian style so we must prepare all this... hehehee


Pic 3: Bah Ku Teh

That day everyone eat so much, Jurgen and dl had 3 plates of rice, Beate and me had 2 plates of rice... After the full full lunch, we spend some time together before Hardmut came and fetch us for soccer again... hahaha... it was a last minutes plan.

Today's soccer was sucks... we had some church kids playing with us which is fine... but later on there are 2 other kids pass by and they joined us. One of the kid was so rude, so loud, so errrr... a kid!!!! He shouted, he cried, he lied, and whatever bad things u can ever think of... he don't even like me, if im playing in his team, he don't want to play.... blaaaaaa..... Anyway, the time pass and at last it ended... everyone don't enjoyed.... "Is ok, he is just a 8 years old boy," i told myself...

Then Hardmut fetched us to his home to chit chat... we spend the time with this beautiful couple... talking, laughing, and eating a lot of fruits there....

At 7pm, Hardmut fetched us home and we bath and get ready to go to the town again. This was my first time walking to the town at night. Walking around at night to downtown with bright lights all over the streets and shops and with cold breeze blowing our cheek. We had a hot drink in Intermezzo Cafe after some walk. I really enjoy the coldness in Albstadt as we walk...


Pic 4: Bus stop with colourful drawings...

At about 10pm we walk home, climbing up the hill back to Johannes' house, enjoying my last 2 nights in Albstadt.

Praise the Lord for another wonderful day...

Praise and pray

Today's cell group was praise and pray... We sing and had a short sharing and praying...

Curry...

We walk downtown to buy ingredients for curry today. Wanted to eat it last time here in Germany. After getting the ingredients that we want, we walk back home and start preparing our curry for lunch. Well, instead of dl cooking for me, he taught me how to cook this time so that i know how to do it next time, hehehehee...

Pic 1: Me cooking

Pic 2: Our lunch...

How is my cooking today? How is the taste of the curry? It was very nice, serious... but very hot... hahahahaaa...

After having our lunch, i tried to pack some of my clothes...


Pic 3: My cupboard full of clothes before i pack them in my bag

After awhile, we plan to walk downtown again. This time i took pictures of every path i walk, the whole journey to downtown as a rememberance for myself... hehehe... Well, i'm not going to post all the pics here, don't worry... Oh, taking pictures is not my main purpose of walking downtown this time. It was because we wanted to go to pharmacy to help Aunty Yin Chun to get some stuff.

Pic 4: Enjoying the beginning of Autumn, the trees are turning into yellow and in 3 weeks time, it will fall.


Pic 5: This is the ice cream shop that i always come and have a bite of ice cream

Pic 10: Dl's bank

Pic 11: Johannes' garden full of apple trees

What am i doing?

What is the matter with me? I don't know why as my age is progressing, i find that i can't sleep that much anymore. Worse still, sometimes i will just wake up in the middle of the night and my mind will start wondering around... It happen many times when i'm in Malaysia this year... Now here in Germany, the same. But perhaps this few days was due to my conscience telling me that i have to say bye bye to my bf and Germany.

Slept at 12am, woke up at 4am... great? Twisting and turning around my bed so at 5am i switch the laptop on and here i am, checking mails, chatting and blogging. Will go back to sleep for a while if i could, will be waking up at 7am today. Dl wants to cook curry for me again, hurray... hehehee... so we will be going downtown early to get what we want to cook and later on, maybe i will start packing?? See how it goes....

I miss my cats

I have 5 cats back home in Malaysia... One of the thing that makes me happy that i can go home soon is to see my family as well as my 5 cats... I miss them so much...

Where did my cats come from? 4 of them was born in my mother's company in March 23, 2003. My mom was feeding the kittens' mother all the while because my mom love animals too. One day when the kitten was about 2 weeks old, my mom noticed a dead cat on the road near her company, and my mom know that it was the kittens' mother. Immediately my mom called me and asked what can she do, i told her if she want, she can keep them so that is how we adopted 4 of them. So after work i bring the 4 kittens to the vet to check them and rescue one of the kitten that was bleeding, Buddy (his story below).

Well, another kitten came about this year, refer to Sydney's story below.

Pic 1: Meet my STUART. He is the king in the house. He is very fierce too, he doesn't like visitors to our home, if there are visitors to our home, we have to cage Stuart because otherwise he will scratch the visitor. Sound scary?? Hahahaha.. it is, so make sure u give us a call before u go to our house so we can put him in the room or in the cage...

Pic 2: Oh, this is one of the pic that Stuart like to sleep at home.

Pic 3: Another action that the king made on my sister's bed.

Pic 4: Meet my TIGER. He is a huge cat with big bone but not that fat. If he were to grow fatter, that will be nicer... hehehee.. but anyway, as long as they are healthy, that is enough.

Pic 5: Tiger on my bed.

Pic 6: ABIGAIL is my little girl... She is the only cat that always follow me everywhere i go. Early morning she will be on my lab while i am sitting on the toilet bowl, i will tell her all my secret, when im happy or when im crying, she will be there with me. I will complaint to her whenever i argue with dl or whatever things regarding dl. She likes to lick me, lick my lips. Heeehehehe... She even know how to jump up to my chest for me to carry when im standing. So u say how much i love Abigail lehh? hehehe... i wonder how much she miss me when im not around in Malaysia, poor girl...

Pic 7: Pretty Abigail on my mummy's rocking chair.

Pic 8: Buddy had a very pity childhood, at the age of 1 week plus, his right hand skin was being peeled out, we suspected it was a fortlift in my mother's company that hit his hand.

Pic 9: Buddy on my sister's blanket

Pic 10: SYDNEY is the naughtiest among all, the smallest in size and age among all... She can run very fast due to her small size body. We adopted Sydney this year, 2005 in Feb during Chinese New Year when we see that she had no where to go and wondering around our house. Abigail don't like Sydney at all. They never play together. I always bring Sydney to mamak stall because she is the only one who can sit still with me. The other 4 are not trained to go out of the house while Sydney is a stray that we adopted when she was 6 months old so she is used to outside environment.

Pic 11: Sydney playing with earphone

My cats, my cats, im coming home real soon. Wait for me.

Kon Loo Mee

Dl just gone for his teeniekries (teenie cell group), a teenie group that Claus and dl just started last week. Dl's old teenie group that he handled with Claus and Beate previously already graduated to youth group. Today dl will be sharing about Rom 8.28, "All things work out good for those who love Him."

While i'm at home alone playing my game, Luxor, i'm going to win the game very soon and blogging at the same time. Heheehehe... How did i do it? I play one level and put some pics in my blog, while waiting for the pic to upload, i played another level... hehehee...

We had kon loo mee for lunch today. Dl asked Joon Min to try his char siew yesterday, but we had no time to cook char siew because of last minutes invitation for soccer, we wanted to play soccer, so instead of char siew, we cooked pizza yesterday... so we cooked kon loo mee and char siew today.

Joon Min came at 12pm and dl and i started to prepare for kon loo mee. By 1pm, the food is ready to be enjoyed.

Pic 1: Lunch with Joon Min

Pic 2: Kon Loo Mee with char siew

7 days more

I only went to bed at 10.30am because i was awake the whole night blogging and online chatting with some ppl in Malaysia. Slept till 3.30pm and rushed up the bed because dl's friend, Joon Min is coming at 4pm.

Joon Min offered to help to clean Johannes' castle. It is part of dl's contract to stay in this big house, 1 week dl have to do 1 1/2 hours work in this house. So there we go, sweeping fall leaves in the big big garden...

Pic 1: Bringing fall leaves to a big place to throw it there...

We sweeped for about 1 hour and we had pizza for err... lunch? tea break? at 5.50pm.

Pic 2: Pizza

Pic 3: Dl enjoying his pizza

Pic 4: Joon Min enjoyed too

At 6pm, we went for soccer again. 5 of us, Hardmut, Dominic, Joon Min, Dl and me. No pictures taken because i'm busy playing... We had our good exercise today enjoying the cold weather, Joon Min and dl even played bare-footed soccer plus wearing short pants... it was a cold and cool game.

Pic 5: Dinner that i cook for dl, simple but very nice... we had sausages and eggs

Another week only

I am sad, very sad as i think of the ending of my holiday in Germany and my time together with my bf will end very soon. Pressure and stress from work and family will come soon.

I went to bed at 12.30am and woke up at 2am. Can't sleep as my mind was wondering around thinking of all the sweet memories and the time is coming very soon that we need to part. Finally at 3.30am i burst out crying alone in the room till 4.30am... it is always very nice after crying, i like the feeling that after u hide them in your heart and at last, it is out, released, as i cried to Heavenly Father.

It is always very hard everytime when i'm about to part from dl. Whenever he goes back to Malaysia for holiday, towards the end of his holiday, i will feel very sad and cry... HHhaiii... this is the consiquence of long distance relationship. It is hard but if it is from God, it is worth while to wait and fulfill God's plan.

You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.

Hebrews 10:36

So, all the couples out there, if you can see each other daily, weekly... treasure your relationship.

''Father in Heaven, i pray that u will help me and dl to cope with our departure this time. Don't make it so hard for us to depart, it is really heartbreaking everytime we depart. Lord, help me to control my tears. Sometimes is very hard for me to not to think of dl and whenever i think of him, tears will flow even now... Lord, help me, help me i pray, Amen''

Spaggetti with Salmon

Wilhelma Zoo

Cold cold!! 4 degree celcius!!! As we walk to the church, i get to experience the cold weather that i want all this while... It was really cold, if i were outside the building longer, i think i could not stand it. After 10 minutes walk to the church, finally we get to warm ourselves. Today there was a presentation by sunday school children.

Pic 1: Sunday School Presentation

As usual, after 1 hour service, people stay back to talk and catch up with one another. It was instead a very warm church that every members know every members very well. Really like a family.

Today Jürgen and Beate wanted to bring us out for hiking but because the weather was too cold for hiking, Jürgen said he will bring me to Wilhelma Zoo in Stuttgart. Yes, in Stuttgart again eventhough we just went there yesterday. It was last minutes plan to go to Stuttgart to the zoo. They know that i love animals. Hehehee.

It was election day in Germany so Jürgen and Beate went for voting and we followed them. Then we drop by in McDonalds to pack out lunch and eat in the car. It took 1 hour driving to Stuttgart. Parked our car quite far from Wilhelma Zoo, we walked 30 minutes from our car to the zoo through nice park. This is a zoo with plants, birds, fishes, insects, butterfly farm and animals... All in 1 zoo.

Pic 2: Cactus

I can't be putting all the animals' picture here so i will only choose a few ok?

It was a very big zoo, the biggest zoo in Germany and we took 5 1/2 hours there. It was very tiring. There is one part that Beate wanted to rest so she rest in the sun and we went walking...

Pic 3: Enjoying the sun

Pic 4: Ain't this cute? Lazy pig!!

Pic 5: Petting a pony? Donkey? Whatever.... As long as i can touch them and play with them.

Pic 6: Playing with sheeps

Pic 7: Carrying a goat... hehehehee

Pic 8:Mixed donkey and horse...

Pic 9: Penguin. My first time seeing a real penguin and the way they walk is so cute... Dl actually downloaded a penguin documentary for me to watch last week, it was really amazing to know the life and death about penguin.

Pic 10: No, this is not animals... hahahah, Beate and Jürgen that blessed us a lot, bringing us to various places.

Pic 11: They demonstrated to us how to kiss... hehehehee but too bad can't catch the pic.

After long walk in the zoo, we need to walk again, 30 minutes walk back to our car... ooohh, tired tired thirsty thirsty... Finally in the car heading home, 1 hour drive. While in the car, Beate and Jürgen shared about how they met continueing their story from last time and dl and i shared ours.

They dropped us home to take some food and head to their house. We cooked for them.

Pic 12: Dinner at 10pm... what to do... we went out the whole day...

Pic 13: Dl's specialist, char siew...

Visits to Stuttgart

Early morning, in the weather about 5 degree celcius, we walked to the train station, bought the ticket and head to Stuttgart. It takes 1 hour 43 minutes to reach Stuttgart train station. Zhang Ley was there waiting for us. She is dl's friend from Stuttgart attending Hope church in Stuttgart. She is a student from China so we communicated with Mandarin and sometimes i don't know what she is talking about because those Mandarin is too deep for me to understand them. Hahhahaa...

Then we head to a chinese restaurant called Mulan to eat, it was really delicious as i could taste the taste that i used to eat in any chinese restaurant back in Malaysia. Zhang Ley is a sweet girl and she talks a lot too.. hehehehe...

After a full meal, we went on to the King Street in Stuttgart. Wow, i tell u, the people there was like ants if look from far. So many ppl walking along a very long street, really a lot of ppl. In Albstadt where dl is staying, it is a very small town and there ain't so many ppl but in King Street, i'm afraid of the crowds... In some smaller road, we have to squeeze ourselves and walk. Basically there are all the shopping centres in King Street that makes it popular.

Pic 1: King Street

Zhang Ley brought me into a candies shop and asked me to choose some chocolate, she wants to treat me, oh, so good... i can't do anything but to say yes after rejecting few times. So i choosed 5 chocolates only, hahahaa... i can't take so much because i don't feel good that she have to pay for it and i must control myself not to eat too much chocolate, it will make me fat as my mom said i already put on weight when she sees my photos from this blog. OOooooo.... hard work when i go home, need to start my diet program again... kekkekeeee

Pic 2: Chocolates...

Then we continue to walk and saw many kind of dogs, i'm very happy that dl is into dogs nowaday and even memorizing the breed of dogs so as we walk along the street and we will say the breed of the dog together and try to figure out what type of dogs if we didn't seen it before. One of the night, we actually spend time searching for different dogs in the internet. We walked through the park and the lake and saw ducks and swans. Zhang Ley brought me into a necklace shop and bought me a necklace. The same thing, i couldn't reject after trying so much.

Pic 3: The palace behind us

Pic 4: Zhang Ley and me trying to talk to the swans...

Pic 5: A baby rottweiler. The origin of rottweiler is from Rottweil in Germany. That's why Rottweiler is named after the place.

After some walk, dl called another China friend, Zhang Yi and we got to meet because he was around King Street with his mother who came from China for holiday too. Zhang Yi speak cantonese back in his hometown, it was perfect cantonese and i admire the slang of this China cantonese so much... ehehhee. After meeting we went to an ice cream shop to talk and spend some time there.

Pic 6: Zhang Yi and his mother from China

Before we departed with Zhang Yi and his mother, we saw this group of band playing on the street outside the train station. When Zhang Yi and his mother left, we went near to the band. It was amazing as i like music very much, i enjoyed seeing them play...

Pic 7: Band

Pic 8: This is a Husky mixed according to the master... hhhmmm... does it look like one?

Then we took a train to head to Hope Church trying to meet some of the ppl there because Zhang Ley said there are some meeting going on earlier but when we reach, there isn't anyone there anymore. But i got to see the place that Sally is staying next year when she married there. The church is downstairs and Sally's house will be at the 4th floor.

Pic 9: Sally's future house at 4th floor

We continued to walk along the street there and walk back to the train station before we are too late to catch our train and realised that we still have few minutes so we walk up the top of the building and have a look at the busy Stuttgart.

Pic 10: Near a lake near to Hope church

At last, we have to depart with Zhang Ley too, thanks to her for spending her time with us. It was very nice to get to meet her eventhough some of the word that she used was too deep for me, hehehehe...

Once again, we are up in the train, couldn't get any seats so we sit on the stairs at the entrance of the train for a while before we get seats. It took 1 hour 43 minutes again to travel back to Albstadt. On the way, dl actually met his junior in the train heading back to Albstadt too...

It was very cold in Albstadt because it is situated in a hill, its 5 degree celcius and dl got Johannes to pick us from the train station instead of walking back home. Hahahaha.. Good choice and thanks to Johannes for his willingness to fetch us. Otherwise it will be very cold till i can't stand it too eventhough i wanted to try how is it like to be in cold weather. It was too much, so how will it be if it is winter??

We cook our dinner and watch a movie at home while eating, as usual... And went to rest. It was a very tiring trip but it was an eye-opener to me to see what a busy city Stuttgart is. I personally still prefer Albstadt. Just like in Malaysia, KL is a hectic city where there are so many ppl like in rush hour especially during working hour.

Okie, that was my visits to Stuttgart.

Beate's Birthday

Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to Beate,

We have cell group in Lucia's house and it is Beate's birthday. So they celebrated beate's birthday together in the cell group.

Pic 3: Enjoying food before starting sharing. Beate bake the bread herself, it was very tasty...

After one round of eating, Lucia did her sharing on prayer, how many type of posture of praying mentioned in the Bible, what are the pros and cons of coporate prayer and so on... interesting sharing by Lucia from a book.

Then we proceed to the second part of cell group, eating again... this time enjoying 3 types of cake bake by different person in the cell group. One by Sabine, one by Beate and one by mama... so good of them all. One birthday party, 3 cakes... hehehee

Pic 4: Dl's cell group

Pic 14: The Castle Church of St. Marien forms a unique baroque ensemble which ranks among the most splendid historical places of interest of Lake Constance.

Pic 16: Halskrause (Pooh) - Dahlie. This is only one kind of Dahlie, there are hundreds of them i think...

Pic 17: There are also a farm in Insel Mainau where they have cows, pygmy ponies, miniature donkeys, goats, numerous hens and rabbits. These goats are very clever, they know that this machine can provide them food so they will kick it, open its flapper and try to lick for food there...

After walking around in the town, we went back to where we park our car and pay for the ticket to drive out. Just before we wanted to leave Konstanz to Meersburg, Christian called. She wanted to meet us so we have to repark our car again. Dl sms Christina who is staying in Konstanz early morning but no reply till Christina called. Thank God that we got to meet coz i haven't seen Christina for years...

Pic 21: Then what else? Kapten Eng said let's take a boat ride out to the Bodensee (Lake Constance). Measuring 40 miles in length and 8.5 miles in width, Bodensee (Lake Constance) covers 220 square miles, making it central Europe’s second largest freshwater lake. Bodensee, is bordered by three countries: Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. More than 4.5 million people in the three countries rely on the lake for drinking water.

Surprised porridge

I have been playing this computer game called Luxor, it is colour game like Zuma so if i'm free in the morning, i will play this game for a while before starting to do other things that i need to.

So same as today i was playing Luxor since morning and dl said is time to cook lunch, well i said ok but still hooking unto the game... After a while dl said we need to cook for lunch again and i said, ok, after i finish this level we will go and cook together.

After finishing the level of that game and noticed that it was quite late already, rushing down to the kitchen and saw that our meal is ready...

OOOhhhh... it really amazed me that how come dl can cook so fast since he just went down only?? I was really amazed, i even said this is like a miracle that when i stepped into the kitchen, the meal is ready....

Later did i know that actually dl was cooking it while i'm busy playing game... hhahaha... It is really a porridge full of surprise and love and it is so delicious...

**TQ dl for your love**

**TQ Lord for giving me this man in my life to live together and grow together**

Soccer game

In the evening, we played soccer again with Hardmut, his son Dominic and Johannes. Hardmut's daughter, Natalie was crying because she don't like her shoe so she didn't follow us for soccer. We played beach soccer which means we played in a sandy field... Oh, i'm really like a kid today playing in the sand, my whole shoe was dirty, sock was dirty, my pants too... aiyaya...

We break into 2 groups, dl and Johannes one group, Hardmut, Dominic and me in one group but we lose today, 16-13 i think... After we finish a game, there are few kids who came into the field and start playing too so we asked whether they wanna play with us... hahhaa...

Did i hurt?? YES! Was being kicked on my leg, now bruises already, banged on dl's shoulder against my front teeth, hahahaa, but not very painful... The opponent's goalkeeper kicked his ball towards me, hit my mouth and shoulder... very painful... ouchhh... And when i'm fighting for the ball with one of the kid, he pull me down the ground.. not bad today, i got to play with sand... was so so dirty... hahahaha...

It was a good soccer game, we played for 2 hours and it rainned, we played in the rain for a while then went home. Washed my shoe that was full of sand... yaksss... hehehehee

Attitude

As i was attending church today and while the preacher was preaching, not knowing a word that the pastor preach, i read a bookmark that is in my Bible. This is what is written in it....

• Attitude is a choice! Jeff Keller
• The major difference between achieving people and average people is their attitude of and response to failure. John C. Maxwell
• A great attitude is not the result of success; success is the result of a great attitude. Earl Nightingale
• Now your attitudes and thoughts must all be constantly changing for the better. Ephesians 4:23-24
• Your attitude is an expression of your values, beliefs and expectations. Brian Tracy
• It is not what happens to you that determines how far you go in life; it is what you do with what happens to you. Zig Ziglar
• Our attitude at the beginning of a task will affect its outcome more than anything else. John C. Maxwell
• Four little words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd: 'a little bit more.' They did all that was expected of them and a little bit more. Lou Vickery

As i was reflecting on those words, it gave me an understanding that we can choose what attitude we want to have. It is a choice of how we would react to any situation.

After reflecting on it, this is the attitude that i want to achieve...

• Never get angry anymore - in every situation, we can choose to see things in different perspective, we have our self control so is time to gear up my self control and use it, it is the fruit of the Spirit afterall, it is in us...

Not that i alwys get angry, in fact i think i seldom unless something strike me seriously but still i want myself to have the self control to control my anger during those serious time that strike me.. but one thing i notice, i will get angry at dl more often... hehehe, maybe he is closer to me but anyhow, i will learn and have good attitude.

'Father Lord, help me to have beautiful attitude. Amen.'

Don't know what was wrong with me. In the afternoon we went to the town, bought kebap and ate it for lunch, i love kebap.. then went to buy some meat and other food...

Dl went to play softball tennis, asked me to watch, i dont want... i was in the room facing the computer.... after dl finish playing, im still facing the computer... and dl went to search for his bicycle's light to fix it downstairs, i told dl that im sleepy... then i went to take a nap...

After my nap, i found that my room is dark coz already nite and no sound in other rooms too... hhhmmm.... still in the 'no mood' stage, trying to sleep some more and suddenly i though i shouldn't be like this and i started to pray in tongue... well, after 10mins i felt better... went out to the room and see if dl is in his room, no... it was dark, so i switch on the light and went to the kitchen and saw dl there.... hehehee...
