A Great Day Just Passed !!!

my day started with a call from mom, sis and my niece... as usual, mom prayed... am always blessed by her prayers... when she wishes me for my birthday, i always feel tremendous joy...

after that, there was some messy things... i locked myself out of my room with the keys inside... had to look for the spare key for 3 hours... i slept in the lounge in between... i watched tv... then again i looked for keys... in between lizy aunti called me.. she wished me too...finally i got the key... and it was raining heavily till then.. all of a sudden rained stopped once i got the key... coz of that i could go for roaming around... i did a bit of shopping... bought a shirt for myself... didn't have plan to buy... but i liked it when i saw it.. so got it then and there itself...

i came back home and had shower... went to meet alvin for the "surprise" birthday dinner... we went to the thai restaurant...jeremy, jonathan, yu xiu, alvin, luis, eve, suween and reb turned up...they gifted me with a Manchester Utd t shirt which i was about to buy last saturday...thank god i didn't...a a beautiful card with lot of writings.. i loved reading each and every one of the entries...felt very touched... thank god for providing people who care for me... i am blessed !!!!!!!!!!! blessed abundantly!!!! had desert after that... enjoyed the whole thing...

when i reached home, my land lady had a card for me... and she noted down my birthday from IC when i gave it to her first time... and she remembered to wish me... i was so happy to see the card.. that was indeed a surprise...

i thank god for everything he is providing me.. friends, gifts, calls, everything...God is good... All the Time!!! thank you everyone for the love shown to me...

once again, Happy Birthday to Me...

ITS AUG 27... THE DAY GOD CHOSE TO BLESS EARTH!!!

August 27 is the day God chose to bless earth 27 years before...Yes... Happy Birthday to myself... if you ask me whether i am excited, i don't know what to say... when i think of birthday, its like getting older by an year... i am 1 year older than what i was till yesterday... but still some kind of excitement is there somewhere in my heart... not at the bottom of my heart coz according to JS, thats where all the shit lies... so somewhere in my heart there is an excitement, but not at the bottom...

happened to start my day amazingly...was talking to my sister in christ, shandy, around midnight and when it struck 12, she wished me and prayed one of the best prayers i ever had someone pray for me...it lifted my spirits greatly... she has been a blessing in my life and so was she today too... thank god for my sister...

happened to meet up with some of my friends from melbourne today... had a good time... talked about lot of things while having good indo food...was a good time...was a good day... will update more later sometime today, if i happen to log in... now off to sleep... will wake up in the morning and decide how my day will be...

keep smiling and make someone smile... God Bless

9 days at Home

had to travel back to india on 7th of this month after getting call from home saying dad is sick... he was crying aver the phone saying he desperately wants to see me... i went home the next day... the night he saw me, he slept after many sleepless nights... next day, things look good till around 10 in the evening... around then, dad's body started to swell up and pain started from his throat to his stomach and on his legs... we rushed him to the hospital... that's where the 'happenings' of my my trip started... soon after dad was in the casualty, a lady was brought there... she was much younger than dad... she died right in front of my eyes... doctor did everything to save her... i could see the fear in her eyes...struggling to breathe... and passed away... soon after that dad was admitted in the hospital...

in the course of next one week, too many things happened... i saw 3 major accidents... don't know the outcome of 2... but in one, a 23 year old boy passed away on the spot... i nearly escaped from 2 accidents... in one i would have gone beneath a truck and in another avoided a head on collision with a car while over taking another... could sense the protection of god heavily... am typing this entry just coz god was gracious to grand me life till today... thank god for His protection over me...

whole week was stressful and tiring... but no way i could show that i was stressed... so i laughed and made people around me laugh... my niece had a good time and so did my sister even though she ended up doing an awful lot of cooking... she cooked lot of things for me... she made sure that i was not missing mom... even after eating good food, i lost 3kgs in a weeks time... guess loss of weight had something to do with stress... somehow, couldn't sleep properly when i was there... there were days when i had only 4 hours of sleep... wanted to sleep in the plane while returning... but a baby was crying for the whole 4 hours...guess he/she was have ear pain... so can't complain... couldn't sleep enough yesterday too... so i think i have to sleep as soon as i reach home today... having bad headache already...

didn't get much time with mom or dad... dad was discharged from hospital on saturday... i brought him home by 5 in the evening and by 9, i was rushing to the airport... so kind of sad for not able to spend enough time with them... especially mom... guess i am missing her... i wish i could have a long weekend and go on a trip all by myself... any place will do... but need a break... may be a small back packing trip...just roam around as much as i can and relax... as of now.. i think, bintan will be a good choice as i can't get a long weekend...

but, during this time in india, i managed to be in the rain... walk and ride a scooter in the rain... i was waiting for that for long time...enjoyed it even though i did it when i was having flu...

back in singapore, yesterday was one of my friends birthday...celebrated with her... went to my cousin's place to pass him some eatables which his mom asked to pass to him... and now back to work... with awful lot of things waiting for me...

if you happen to read this post... plz do pray for dad and mom... keep smiling... and forget not to make someone laugh...God bless

2 Days-------2 Movies

weekend was good... happened to see 2 movies in 2 days... first time after leaving india 4 1/2 years back, i am being a frequent visitor to the cinema... these days, the frequency is getting higher... watched The Dark Knight on saturday and Mummy on sunday...

The Dark Knight

i think the movie should have been named after the joker (Ledger made this charector a memorable one) coz he was the one who kept the show alive... i don't see any big role for batman in there... he didn't have much impact too i guess... what ever joker wanted took place except in the case of blasting of ships... i liked something what Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) said in the movie... "the darkest night comes before dawn"... thats true...when you feel that you are going through the darkest times in your life, just believe that the dawn is nearing... its not far...

i will give this movie a rating of 7/10... quite good show... (to be honest, i was thinking it was going to be those scary kind of movies which i hate, but it was not)

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

watched yesterday... first time i am seeing Jet Li in a negative role... don't know whether he has acted in other movies also in a negative role, coz i haven't seen much of his movies... overall, the movie was good and general yang's assistant looked pretty too... can give a rating of 5.5 or 6 out of 10... i would give better rating to Mummy Returns...

before going for movie yesterday, i attended first lesson of CCLT... was good... felt sleepy... but preferred not to as i think the time i spent in CCLT is going to be useful... struggles are there... but that doesn't mean that i should hide from the purpose God has for me... i wish that i won't fall short of the destiny He has kept for me....

overall the weekend was good... service at church was good... liked P. Gerald's message... he put it together well... had lunch with cell mates... enjoyed everything during the weekend... weekends like this will be good... thank god for the weekend...

now its lunch time... let me go and eat...take care and keep smiling...
