I am absolutely in awe of His promises for me. :)
Proverbs 2
Moral Benefits of Wisdom
1 My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
2 turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding,
3 and if you call out for insight
and cry aloud for understanding,
4 and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure,
5 then you will understand the fear of the LORD
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the LORD gives wisdom,
and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds victory in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,
8 for he guards the course of the just
and protects the way of his faithful ones.
9 Then you will understand what is right and just
and fair—every good path.
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
11 Discretion will protect you,
and understanding will guard you.
12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
from men whose words are perverse,
13 who leave the straight paths
to walk in dark ways,
14 who delight in doing wrong
and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15 whose paths are crooked
and who are devious in their ways.
16 It will save you also from the adulteress,
from the wayward wife with her seductive words,
17 who has left the partner of her youth
and ignored the covenant she made before God. [a]
18 For her house leads down to death
and her paths to the spirits of the dead.
19 None who go to her return
or attain the paths of life.
20 Thus you will walk in the ways of good men
and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will live in the land,
and the blameless will remain in it;
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land,
and the unfaithful will be torn from it.

A piece of good news

Regarding Warfare
I was quite upset today. So I binged eat. Not to that severity that it would be considered as clinical binge eating. But I was full enough that I need not have dinner. Popped a flu pill at 4ish, showered and went to bed from 5p.m. till 9p.m. Woke up to Singapore Idol, a cup of honey and a handful of grapes. Here I am, back in bed, waiting for the SH to log on so I can rant about these 2 days to her. It's hard when she's away because I don't get to hear from her much. I feel ready to go to bed again. That is good because I have to be at work tomorrow.

Teachers Day
P said cannot give gifts. Kids gave other stuff. Big vanguard sheet of appreciation from one of the groups in my class. Another drawing paper of appreciation from 2 students and a few cards. The kids in my class are very obedient. I can't say the same for others. It was from my PE class I received red pens, nice lil chocolates (almond rocas, toberone, hershey's kisses, and nestle cookies and cream) and chocolate cake. It was from the PSG (Parent Support Group) I received a yummy butter muffin, sweets and Milo Chocolate.
The mini-concert was less than impressive, but the beauty of it is to see the Primary One performers being able to be disciplined enough to even TRY to perform a dance on stage. That was touching and showed the hard work that has been put in to put up a decent performance. The simplicity in the performances. That much, I appreciate. Other than that, I was suffering at the back of the hall; sneezing non-stop into my already crumpled and wet piece of tissue, trying to manage my collection of cards, vanguard sheet, drawing paper, along with the stack of exam papers I had just gone through with my pupils before the concert, a single uncapped red pen and the huge cup of green tea, all with two hands and a small space under my chair. That was uncomfortable. And that happened during my hour long free period, which I would appreciate having to do my own stuff.
Ah well. THe best part of Teachers Day must be the break yesterday. Oh, I must mention that 20 over ex students came back to see me. That was a nice reunion. :) Back to work tomorrow, then Friday, then I am going to chill for the next week.

cardio combat
was not bad. I didn't think it was that difficult, but I wasn't able to go @ 100% because of my fitness level. I can teach cardio combat too! Not difficult. Done it @ work before. I just need to work on my fitness and look a bit fitter. Heh.
So... I didn't know how much of my muscles were used till this morning. My arms and abs are aching. But as usual, it feels gooooood....
My dinner was 8 sotong balls. One was eaten by R and the other was eaten by Y. Very yummy. It's better to buy up than ask for delivery. THe price is nearly doubled and for goodness sake, they are just opposite the road from BB. I realised that thanks to their orange uniform.:)
Buy from shop : $6 for 10 sotong balls
Delivery: $11 for 10 sotong balls.
It was wonderful evening of catch up and sharing with a few peeps over a drink @ BB. Wish it was Teachers Day every other week. :)

%^&*()(*&^%$#$%^&*-
No. Not vulgarities. In fact, it was a great weekend.
Meeting up with the Ezer ladies was awesome. Getting better each time, thanks to SL's facilitation and new additions to the CG. Heavy but goooooood.
My ex student and his 2 friends removed the drum set from under my bed. He forgot the seat but took 2 pairs of drum sticks!!! I told him I needed one pair back, that he can bring a pair back for me when he comes back for the seat. !!!!
I figured out how to go about playing the bass on the classical guitar and that made me very pleased indeed. *beams* SH was playing the chords and I played the bass. So fun.. So many things to do together. I like!
So.... I ate my first 4 yolk mooncake. The yolks are all gone. I shall finish the rest of the mooncake in the next few days. It is very yummy but so expensive! $11 each! They are having a discount for 2 yolk mooncakes though.. $26 for 4. That's quite cheap. Mei Zhen Xiang. Good.
Witnessed J's baptism today. Was a lil touched by the act of declaring that she belongs to Jesus.
I couldn't get the 2 guitar stand. Yamaha only sells the 1 guitar stand. But I changed the broken string today. So I have 4 fully functional guitars now. 2 classical, 1 folk and 1 semi-acoustic.
I learnt the 7th Chords and the Major 7th chords today. From A to G. Yipee!
It is going to be a wonderful day tomorrow because TUesday is a holiholiholiholiday!
My room looks fabulous now.
