不够好
since my neighbour started work some months ago, yest evening was the first time i spoke more than a couple of words to him. why so unfrenly?? yeah... i can be so sometimes. it takes 2 to clap lah. he is a reserved person too, usually just minding his own biz, so i do the same, since we have very different roles. but well, surprisingly, through that short conversation, or rather more like Q&A (I q-ing and he a-ing), i found out that he is a christian. i was quite surprised since well..... it never occurred to me that he is one and basically there's nothing that i can tell from observing him that could make me think that he is one, n i am quite observant one leh.
made me reflect upon myself.... whether pple can somehow make out my faith from my mannerisms and behaviour. or whether upon realising, it wouldn't be an unexpected thing to them...
so i think it really is very important to be responsible in every sphere of influence, any environment, and carry myself befitting of who i am. simply bcoz pple observe and christians tend to be judged with higher standards.

went for a vocalist audition in church just now. *huge sigh* 嗨！觉得自己很不自量力。我这种小小才也敢去献丑。。。真不可想象。嗨。。。没办法啦，接下来就只能用神所给我的，尽我的能力把它发挥地最好。
在audition的时候，看到一些在音乐方面真的很有才华的人。哇。。。
觉得能弹着一手好吉他，认真唱歌，陶醉在其中的男人，真的非常有魅力。

kiddo strip-er
my first day serving in the sunday school nursery2 class, ie the 4yr olds, was interesting to say the least. its just so fascinating to see how kids react to a new teacher, how they test waters, how they warm up to a new big person, etc. as usual, the naughtiest ones are always the friendliest ones. "jiejie, i make a cake for you! see the candle?" n he points to an imaginary candle. "wow~ so nice of you! u wan me to make a wish b4 i blow the candle?" he nods, and i do as he please.
as they were waiting for their parents to pick them up after service, i interacted with one of the naughty ones. seeing the water bottle he was carrying so proudly over his neck, i asked, "who is that??", referring to the plush character of his water bottle cover. he muttered smthg. "batman???" i asked. "BEN TEN" he exclaimed trying to pronounce it properly. "ahhhh... Ben 10," i acknowledged, without the faintest clue who this cartoon character is. i turned my attention to smthg else, but he came over and tugged at me, then pulled his shirt upwards exposing his tummy, in an attempt to lift his shirt for me to see clearly from my height. "see! see! ben ten also!" "ahhh, icic, okkkk," pulling his shirt back in place for him. n just when i got his shirt back in place, he pulled down his pants right there in the middle of the classroom, showing me his red hot colourful underwear n proudly declared, "see! power ranger!!"
the other teachers were laughing their heads off, as i stood there slightly embarrassed and tugging his pants back to its proper place.
the joys of serving the Lord. heehee =)

it sux when u realise u're not part of someone else's grand plans. perhaps never have been; perhaps fell short somehow and didn't end up in it.
but i find comfort that He has plans for me and I am always in His grand plan.
===================================================================
i feel like i'm getting slightly disillusioned.
i also feel that i'm becoming more atypical.
the whole question abt contentment vs ambition is bothering me again.
