today i learnt a lesson.
went for driving today. well, my instructor constantly scolded me. it was relentless. until a point i just kept quiet. in my mind, i had thoughts like "mmm let me CRASH HIS CAR INTO POLE. HAH." but of course i din do that la.
it was very humbling to let him rant at me all the time and all i could do was just keep quiet. i mean, it's something i gotta go through for my license. i just felt misunderstood at times. because he spoke in chinese all the time, i couldn't really explain that at certains i couldnt understand his instructions when he mumbles and that its not that i dont want to learn my driving, its just that my schedule doesnt permit it.
at the end of it all, i just wanted to feel valued again.
well, i think God is training me for working life, scoldings and all. i'm so thankful that the church is so loving. yea. haha, run with the goal in mind, i think that works alot. =D thanks God.

today. my friend did the stupidest thing in his life and made this day, my most memorable DUTY ever.
we were walking back from the cookhouse, and my friend was saying "hey my phone is spoilt, it isnt getting signal and stuff". 30 seconds later, i saw him tossing his phone unto the grass patch. :O utterly shocked, i asked if it worked. nope, it didn't. and he said, "maybe i'll try harder".
we walked up a flight of stairs and walked on towards medical centre.
woosh.
i saw a white object flying into the air, followed by the rustling of leaves in a palm tree.
it never came down.
AND I BURST OUT LAUGHING. what an I D I O T. i had nothing to say. sometimes, man's stupidity confounds me.
anyway we two looked like idiots carrying a tall chair and a metal stick trying to poke the phone out of a 3 metre tall palm tree. but yea, it was ridiculously fun.
p.s. i didnt mention my friend's name to prevent him becoming the laughing stock of my camp.
been asking people how've they been doing. i realised, the more i ask, the more stuff chalks up on my prayer list.
yea! life isn't just about me.
