I'm such a noob at html, so while I fix stuff please bear with the funny title about a yellow bird from my old layout, and the links on top that don't work!

I am doing good these days. I'm busier this week with more schoolwork, but this week has started off very well so far. My definition of 'well' being emotionally moving and provoking.

I saved a few-days-old baby cat from a drain gushing with rainwater; someone very poor by Singapore's standards treated me to a very precious lunch (and he is a brother in Christ so I will see him forever!). The mum of this kid I tutor told me many stories about how God is using her and her maid right now amongst her neighbors - they don't go out a lot because of some obligations, so God brings people to them online, through texts, or even 'coincidences' like having someone coming to Christ because she picked up the maid's verse cards that dropped off on the street. OUT OF THE WORLD I tell you.

Today, I slept in to a cool morning, away from the ferociously sunny and humid weather nowadays.

I am also learning that it can be so difficult to stay true to what I believe Christ has convicted in my heart to live out, both among believers and non-believers. I am really glad that I'm not facing this alone because of friends like Yvonne, Olie, and a few others who are there to listen.

Maybe self-denial and slavery to Christ is the way to go: not focusing on what I really desire, and whether it's been met, but being genuinely interested in them and their lives. Right now, I just don't feel like serving them, or even hang out with some. Sometimes I assume that believers are perfect and now I get disillusioned that they aren't. Hmm..
