The Gal who Cried Wolf
Hmm my trip back to Indo is postponed yet again...till tmr only thank God! I am beginning to feel like the boy who cried wolf haha. But this time it's for real. Just a short spell before I start work at the end of the month at the National Archives.
Brought my cousin to church yesterday and I must say that was the 1st time I brought someone to my present church. She visited the Salvation Army with me last time oso, precisely on the day when I was sworn into soldiership. Very significant day, indeed! This time round, she found our service very unusual, with much more interaction between chrch members during service and lesser time dedicated to sermon. And I was glad some of the ppl came over to talk to us after the service, inviting her to come back to visit us, tempting her with their home-made curry next week etc. They r really friendly and not cliquish, I find.
Managed to clarify some matters that were of no consequence. I was kind of hurt becos I can never get used to not letting other ppl's opinions affect me. Plus I just dislike gossips, esp when things I do get blown out of proportions and ppl actually are so heartless as to question whether someone like me can have problems. But seems that the Chinese saying is oso true, that paper cannot hold the fire...things inevitably surface tho u try to hide it. It's just that I prefer certain individuals not to know wat's happening cos they spread it not comprehending and not caring abt the seriousness of the situation, but to just alleviate their own private boredom. I do try to be loving to the individual in question, but it's proving extremely difficult all these years. Only God can help me. I will be fine in time.
Thanks to sweet Nadine who called me just now to tell me about the job at National Archives :) Now I know better wat to expect. Thanks oso to Kevin who oso helped explain the situation there!
The old uncle I always see sitting at the balcony of one of the neighbouring houses has passed away. I really should have been less shy and waved a noisier hi to him everytime I walk past his house. Now I will no longer have the chance.
