i finally found the urge to blog today.
you know i can never fathom the hearts and minds of aunties. despite their age, they still wanna compare and compete with young girls and expect the same treatment from their superiors, and when there's a difference, they explode.
madness.
rabbi_robin left early this morning, didn't have time, or rather, i was too late to say goodbye. but hey, if you ever read this, sorrie i forgot all about wishing you a safe trip and to have loads of fun in the states!
lateness.
i almost knocked down a motorist that day whilst driving in malaysia. it was sucha close shave, just a lil bit more and i would have claimed a man's life. the emotions were hard to hide, as soon as dad took over the wheels, i broke down big time. i almost killed someone. someone almost died that day because of me.
to elaborate more on this point, i'd like to advise all drivers, and to-be drivers to be careful everytime you're behind the wheels. you gotta be extra careful, extra alert, check your blind spot whenever you wanna change lanes and never speed. because when you're on the roads, you owe a duty of care to everyone who's on the roads, and everybody else's lives are part of your responsibility. dun learn driving just because you wanna wear short skirts and be seen at popular places in a car you're driving. and dun learn driving just because you wanna look cool wearing shades behind the wheels. this is LIFE we're talking about. grow up and stop learning if that's what you took up driving for.
carelessness.
for clarification purposes, the post prior to this one about the nail package that i'd unwillingly signed up, actually consists of like 12 pedicure sessions and a couple more other free credits which could be exchanged for other stuff. the package was worth the price but its just that, i wasn't ready to sign something like that, and moreover i didn't have the money to pay the full amount up front, which was what i was trying to complain about but have obviously failed.
*major eyeroll
the big sista and bro sent an email from brisbane just the other day. apparently, the night we went mambo, the big sista called, asked where i were, and dad told them i went clubbing. she said dad sounded upset. actually i knew that he was the night before i left, even though he said cheerfully to have fun and be careful. thus they wanted to gently remind me of the following:
1) light has no business with dark
2) everything we do speaks of Christ - is the Christ we represent one that is compromised? or one that is set apart and holy?
3) and finally, non-Christians (including our non-Christian family members) are always looking out for things to slime us with whether intentionally or on hind sight. we who are saved have a responsiblity to preserve and defend the name of Christ.
though our intentions are innocent, i have to admit that the Christ i represented, had unknowingly been compromised. thus i have decided, i am officially abstaining from clubbing. from now on, its gonna only be clean fun, activities done in the day, or even if its in the night, it shouldn't and will not be those after-dark activities.
and this is a promise i'm willing to make, for my Papa in heaven, and my papa on earth. i only pray that i will not fail.
