Morning, my family and i went to church for worship service. It's great to see everyone in new clothes and in something different. :) And the procedure was different.. The first 2 songs were Chinese New Year songs and it felt weird singing when we usually sing church songs. But anyway i felt the sermon was a little too long and eventually i turned off and dozed off :/ After that everyone went around shaking each others' hands and saying "happy chinese new year!" and i really hope i could dig a hole right in front of me and hide. I dont know why and i know it's funny but i hate facing people and saying all these things that i feel awkward saying. Right after the service, met my churchies for a short while (sobs) and left for gran's house.
Went visiting, came back to gran's house. Spent the whole day there waiting for relatives to come over, received many many ang pows, took photos with my couzie's iPad, played games on the iPad and ate bee hoon, goodies and drank alot of sweet drinks. (FATS UGHHH) but anyway the noon on every 1st day of CNY is always spend like this. EVERY YEAR ^^ I like it pretty well as it's not just bout the fat stack of ang pows i'll get $.$ but of course the crowd in the typical 5 room flat and the noise they make. Makes the apartment more lively and i feel happier! :) Uploaded photos on facebook and i must say luckily didnt bring my camera cos it would be not of use. Cos the iPad came effectively to use and it's so convenient!! :D
Evening came soon and after having steamboat with CHEESE SAUSAGES (!!), parents and i went home. Bro went visiting with grace~ We waited for my aunt to come. I think my parents and my aunt and uncle chatted for more than an hour. I sat there beside them, listening and nodding my head. It's like a total eye-opener hearing the stories, and i felt like i gained so much information bout their lives and the society we're living in currently. I gained a more knowledge on the wickedness of our society now, Singapore society. And how hard my family have ALWAYS been working hard to give us education, piano lessons, and such............ Then that was the time i realised that if i don't work as hard as them, or doubly, in my studies right now, i would definitely SUFFER BADLY when the time comes. Cos everything in Singapore is stressful, expensive..... Plus the fact that the young workers are 'bullying' the old and experienced workers and treating them like useless people makes me feel really bad for them. If i were them, respect is first thing. I dont understand why. Probably it's society's doing, changing people slowly.........
And lastly my aunt and her husband, my uncle, said something that i really thank God inside so much. The feeling was overwhelming. My uncle had a sickness and it was so terrible and was unknown to the doctors. He had gone through so much pain through the treatments. So... Because of the visit my parents made to their house last time (they were the only couple who went down, none of my dad's siblings did) and plus the prayers we had been making for their family, they thanked us from their bottom of their hearts and said they really appreciated us. I felt sooooo happy inside. That we became a testimony to people. That people saw God through us...... It's such a great feeling and God touched my heart. I almost teared. :')
How great it is to be an influence, an impact in my relatives' lives, even it's just a tiny bit of effort we made. God has shown me so many things and taught me lessons which i need to know and which i need to be applying in my life in the future. Thank You for every single moment today.
I look forward to tomorrow,
2nd day of Chinese New Year!
