I watched Beauty and the Beast on the bus on my student's laptop. I was 9 when I first saw the show! Really forgot most of the plot, the talking candle holder, clock, the songs, and even how Belle looks!
Simply brings back childhood days..
Also reminded me not to judge the book by its cover. How often I see things on the outside only, neglecting its true worth inside..
On Monday, some RP students and I had dinner at Plaza Sing and because it was too noisy one of them suggested that we go out to pray. He said he knew a quiet place nearby and so we followed him. After walking about 5-10min, we reached a small taxi stand which was wet because of the rain...and we stood and prayed for one another. It was a fresh experience of prayer.. I haven't prayed in a taxi stand before, except when I needed patience in the long queue haa.. Well, that's something I'll remember whenever I'm in a taxi stand I guess:)
“No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. The pulpit can be a shop window to display one’s talents; the prayer closet allows no showing off. Poverty-stricken as the Church today in many things, she is most stricken here in the place of prayer.

We heard from many inspiring women-Judy Douglas, Andrea Buczynski, and Dr Kim who expounded on the book of Ruth-another woman whom I had learnt much from. In the bible, Ruth was a Moabite whom clung on to her mother-in-law Naomi. She believed in and served Yah Weh. She lived a life of 'Hesed'- Loving Kindness- and one aspect of it is living life beyond and above what is expected. It inspires me to know that I can live life "surpassingly." One area that comes to mind in living "surpassingly" is that of missions. I'm going to Laos this March, along with 6 other young and fun-loving Poly students and 3 other adults. As time nears, and support raising gets tougher, my heart gets more excited but also more fearful. Will ...
