what a day!

The whole day had been such a roller-coaster ride in emotions. Was jolted out of sleep by a voice in melayu and my familiar husband's voice. Got out of my room to find a malay guy outside our house separated by just the iron gate. Both parties looked and felt heated in their exchange.

Later, I realised it had to do with our maid. After the guy left, warning us to beware our maid, we questioned her and found that she's trying to hide something. Sent her back to the agency. And there our emotions got to another height.

It turned out that the agent, who's a very pregnant lady was so so fierce when confronting our maid. Of cos we got what we needed to know and decided to send her back to Indonesia and get another maid. Then come another shock. I paid $1000 just to send the maid back and pay for the insurance and fee for the new maid. Big hole in my pocket now. "Broke" is the word.

Got home and went to my Sis-in-law's place. Was so tired that both vic and I just fell asleep at her place, one on the sofa, the other at the slain couch. Tired man.

Gone was our swimming plan bcos of this morning maid saga.

After a long night of mtg, the 3 zones celebrated my birthday for me. It came as quite a surprise cos it was at a point when I least expected. Pleasantly surprised. The ldrs reali gave me many gifts and their heart-felt wishes that reali moved my heart. But a bit lost that at that time as pastor wasn't around to pray for me. Anyway, I requested for prayer still and Simon, together with the rest, prayed for me. Nothing means more than that.

The clock has passed twelve, and it's after our supper. Then we got an SMS informin us of mtg tmr! Well, pastor, Wenling, simon, vic and I had taken leave to go sentosa to celebrate my birthday! In short, gone is my sentosa, sun, beach and bikini celebration. So sad.

But it's fine. I'm just so blessed to have friends and comrades like these. Feel so loved. Especially, the words on the cards by the leaders. I knw those were not just standard phrases you say to assure pp. Thanks. I feel so humbled by it all.

It's a great joy to love God and serve God together with you. Thanks all. Love you lots.

P.s. Photos coming soon.
