This month has been a slow moving but some things happened in this month that made me change my focus a little...
Starting off with a relaxing trip to Penang after Ken's exams. Was blessed with the trip. Think I didnt fork out a single cent at all... Heh... Thanks to Kelvin and my mom... Yeah, and really thank God cos I was pretty tied after all the taxis - reimbursement havent come in... Yep...
Then went for 2 whole weeks of training, quite boring and slack. Met up some old good buddies for dinner and movie... Also went gym... Think for the first time since I joined my co!!! Ermz... Hey... Dun look at me like that... At least I got started... Hahaha...
Yep... Then after training was xmas le... Went to get presents alone... Ken was having incamp training... So sad... Lugged the things home myself... So ke lian... Hahaha... But I did it!!! Yeah...
Then was the xmas services... Was prepared to go for all, go all out for the friends. Yeah, bring them in and let them experience the love of God... So on eve of xmas eve, went and attended svc 1 and 2... Went home after dinner and slept...
Then my mom woke me up at slightly before 6. And asked me wat I was planning to do that day. I said 'go church lo...' you muz understand, I slept pretty late the nite b4 and sleep was really precious. Then she asked if i can bring my dad to hospital. I was shocked. Still laying in bed... I asked her wat happened. She said my dad was in pain. And she has to go work cos it was Sun. Most crowded... Then she asked... "Can you dun go church?"
At that point in time, in my heart, I was thinking "Huh, but I really want to go". On the other hand, I know that my mom seldom ask me for help and she really had no choice le. I heard my dad vomiting in his room. My heart stirred. I asked God for guidance. I asked God to help me. I asked the Holy Spirit why muz this happen to me? I was really troubled... In the end, I went to hospital with my dad. I msged Ken to let him know I wont be able to make it for the morning service. And was prepared to pack my things and cabbed down to hospital. Then Ken replied ==> so he's up... I asked him to send my dad to hospital instead, can save some money and Ken can show his concern also...
I msged weemin to let her know I might not be able to make it back to serve cos dunno if my dad needs to be admitted. At the same time, I was updating Ken abt my dad and my mom also... I didnt want the cg to know so that it will not affect them. Think really no one knew that I wasnt ard during S3... Hahaha... Think only yan and Ken know from the cg...
After the doc checked my dad and everything settled, we went home by cab then on the way my dad was saying, if I need to go out, can go ahead. I really thank God for such an understanding dad... I made sure he was comfortably rested on his bed and listed a list of things to do for my siblings b4 I left for church... Managed to attend S4 and S5. Really by the grace of God...
On boxing day I decided to apply leave and stay home. My siblings were in school. My dad was in bad pain again. So bad that on xmas day he couldnt even get off his bed... I called Ken to come over and help me support my dad to the clinic for a jab. Supporting him and shielding him from the rain with the umbrella, we managed to bring him to the clinic and back.
These few days I saw my dad cry... I was really very troubled. Cos he has a very high tolerance for pain and this muz have hurt so badly. And there was nothing I could do. The painkillers didnt help much also... As xing called me to talk abt giving bs to the friends, I was not in the mood at all. I was thinking abt my family... I realised I havent been spending much time with them. Havent been giving a lot of myself to this family... I made a decision, 2007... I will spend more time with my family. Invest in them... For where my treasure is, there my heart will be also...
Today is 29th le... Going for thanksgiving cg later... Then tml going dim sum buffet... Then dinner with my engagement team's friends... Then Sun will be duty and then countdown at Ken's aunt's place and guess what? It will be 2007 le!!! WOW!!! Time really flies. In 2006, so many things happened... 1st mission trip... 1st time on the plane... So many couples got married... Hahahaha.... I wonder what 2007 will be full of.... 2007, here I come!!!
