its Sunday again!! i am thinking about sunflower, haha!
many people are using sunflower oil for potato chips.
my mum is a potato chip fans, haha. and i will eat after her.
it has been a very sad week for my whole family.
on Monday, i was watching the news with my brother,
and i didn't notice that Dr Ong has past away,
cause i was distracted.. i was so shocked!
i thought he was lying or joking to me.. but it was real.
we didn't say anything, but keep on watching.
we were so sad upon hearing the news.. T.T
when my dad went back home,
i told him what we saw.. but he aldy knew it before us.
he was tired and sad..
we sit together on the dining table for dinner,
my mum, dad and i.. and dad started to talk..
he said that when he heard the news, he could not work.
his brain was empty and couldn't think properly.
my dad went for a dinner w Dr Ong in sentosa last sat,
they even celebrated my dad's bday..
and dad sang a song with him.. my father started to tear.
Dr ong was my dad's good friend and dad said that he don't even eat prawns!
he was so healthy, he exercises..!! argh.
and everyone started to say about their own time with him...
he watch me grow up.. T.T
every time, when my dad organise functions, i will see him in the vip table.
my dad would call me to serve him, and he would call me.. =)
Dr Ong is always smiling and friendly.. i like him!
he is a christian.. =) i am so glad.
my dad was so sad that he eat little rice.
'why did you eat so little?!'
'i will die even if i eat more, then why more?'
i was so sad when i hear this.
dad is really very sad.. iyo.
i wanted to comfort him.. so i hug him.
haha, i hug him till he feel so irritated.. lol
and before he went out, i reminded him..
'do you remember Dr Ong told you to quit smoking?'
'yes' dad said with a sad face..
and he walk out, head down.
recently, he had a grandchild.
and mum told me how big his house was.. woah.
i was never allowed to go to his house.
every time when his bday, his son's wedding, cny, Christmas..
any dinner you could think of, i was never there.
my parents was invited only =.= i want to go!!
ok, enough of resentment..
i cut my hair on Tuesday after tuition =)
i walk around the market area, looking for a salon.
and i saw this newly open salon, looks empty.
i like my hairstyle very much, thanks!
the only obstacles is school.
whenever i cut my hair, i will feel weird to come to school.
since i was 4, i had this feeling. but is still went.
i told my bro i don't have enough money,
and he gave me 5 in the morning..
there are many times he gave me money,
but i didn't notice and he took it back.
i was so touched, and he didn't expect anything back from me.
he knows that my allowance is always little,
and he is always giving. both my my brothers did that.
this is love..
went to ngee ann again on Friday.
i am always going to ngee Ann..
and wei and winnie thought it was all in one course.
its all different actually..
it is the 9th design competition & exhibition.
i summit 2 entries, but none was picked. haha
fatin got silver and huda and zila got don't know what prize.. haha
i was so sleepy, almost sleep when the GOH was speaking.
mrs Tan; 'so sleepy arhs..'
Saturday.. Church.
let me share with you some of my notes...
---
*Psalms 15:1-3
God has big gifts for you, example.. when you are five years old, God gave you a motorcycle and a Swiss knife. You have to be mature in order to use it. In the same way, like how God gave you big talents, if your character is not mature enough, you will only depend on your talents, not God.
mature in character is more impt than big talents!
- Often our inner life is left undeveloped due to the spot-light on the other life
- Our inward character is the infrastructure that holds us up through our lives
- The greater size is your gifts, the more time you must dedicate in developing your character
what is reputation and what is character?
- Circumstances which you live determines your reputation, but the truth you live determines your character
- The reputation is what you are suppose to be, but character is what you are
- Reputation comes from without, but character grows up from within
- Reputation is what you have when you come to a new community, but character is what you have when you go away
- Reputation is made in a moment, but character is build in a life time
- Reputation is learned in an hour, but your character does not come to light for a year
- Reputation is what much say about you on your tombstone, but character i what the angles say about you before God
What we are when we are alone, determines how far you can go.
*James 1:2-4
what is integrity?
- It's more than just telling the truth when no one knows the truth
- doing what you said you would do even when no one is checking
- keeping your promises
so i really wish that you people who read these will realise how much integrity you have put in in your daily life. integrity is one of the values in my school, but whoever wants a good character must have integrity. people with integrity influences others because he wants to bring something that will benefit them, not to gain something out of them.
i didn't type out the whole notes because i want you guys to come and hear it for yourself,
we cannot rely on notes alone to reflect and seek God.
i agree that even if you have big talents and reputation, your character bad, then you achieve nothing. its all on the outside.. useless
