neighbours' cats at grandparents place

this chinese new year i got sick right before the eve and am gonna just recover today; at least, i had my three pieces of bak kwa. but programmes and illness left me no time to run and i'm craving for that. this year, i saw that some loved ones are losing strength and getting weaker physically and mentally; the feeling of giving away money (if you have it) is just as good as receiving; i didn't see some people i was hoping not to see - i don't know if that is good or bad. i got to spend sometime with mingyao. even watching him practicing his golf for half an hour yesterday was nice and peaceful. i met up with sammie and the girls too at sammie's house for an annual macaroni soup meal; this time it's a little more special cos ying's got a ring and steven is here for all the cny festivities.

i will want to be less materialistic and more compassionate; and more focused.

pastor lilian ang's sermon is mostly straighfoward and succint and i like that. yesterday she preached about serving God in the workplace, something i had been reflecting about in the past few days; Fear God and respect man, not the opposite. i must really use my hours and days wisely.

i am looking foward to march.
