Jiexin, Hui Yun, Sylvia and I met on Tuesday. Quite random, but was cool la! We went to watch Harry Potter... NOT NICE!! It wasn't magical enough! The whole story content was SO lengthy~ Don't know which kuku keep saying it's nice~ haha...
Harry Potter kissed for the sake of kissing! That scene was super weird. Will not discourage all of u to go experience it yourself though. Go and watch Harry Potter!! HAHA~
A K1 boy walks in and out of the classroom, into the hall where I'm always stationed in prepare for any classes coming in for lessons.
Abinesh: Teacher Rebekah, can you give me a high 5?
(Slaps high 5)
Abinesh: Another 1!
Queen: Ok!
(Slaps another high 5)
Abinesh: ANOTHER 1!
Queen: Erm...? Haha~
(Slaps yet another high 5)
Queen: Why do you keep walking in and out of the classroom?
Abinesh: Because I like you Teacher Rebekah.
Queen: Can you go back to class, help Teacher Lai Ping.
Honestly, deep down, I'm glad I brought them so much fun. Really LOVE these kids! At least they have natural gratitude. But will they grow up to be like adults?Were the adults as innocent as they were? OH Well...

Never been fresher~
Today, the air seems fresher! haha~ Couldn't wait for 5pm to come. I feel stronger, more confident and more peace! God allows us in situations to push us towards Himself. I mean, he knows trials are good to train us.
I made a mistake. I'm glad I realised it now than later. I learned it the hard way. Will not let it just pass by and let things be. I'm on my way to a better me! I'm not ashamed to lift my hands and admit that.

Hold your breath!
I've got LOADS to say. But I decided to put them all aside and blog about this. Just one thing. We've got to start to take note of people around us.
No use taking sides. No use trying to lie your way through. There is no secrets in the house of God. Who's been yacking all the nonsense in our ears and make us lost balance in judging right from wrongs. Got to get it right again! Listen to all sides of a story! Missing out any information causes great disaster!
Let's learn to filter every word people tries to say to us. Including mine!
During devotion at work today: Eli and His Woodcrafts.
Eli's hobby was to make lots of wooden dolls. Tall or short, fat or thin. Emotional or courageous. All kinds of character he made them in. Each of them have their own lives (Yes, the wooden dolls are alive!)
The more Eli made, the more the wooden world gets selfish and corrupted. They begin to label each other according to the things they do. Good and bad in the wooden world's eyes. If you're hardworking, you'll get a star sticker. If you didn't do well in school, you'll get a red spot. It's a law to paste all of those things on their bodies, so that everyone can see.
Of course, those who get more stars, felt good about themselves and vice versa.
There was a particular wooden doll name, Elias(made up) who has loads of red spots on him. He's forgetful, timid, not as good looking as the rest. Everyone thinks that he's a natural loser. Therefore, he didn't like to go out at all. He hate the look in people's eyes. The way they look at him like a loser.
One day, Elias was alone in his room again... feeling sorry for himself. He looked out of the window, and saw a beautiful girl, Minna(made up too). He realised that she got no stickers on her. No stars, no red spots. NOTHING! This aroused his curiosity. He made his way out of the house to meet the girl.
Elias: "Hi, I'm Elias. I just need to ask you a question. How come the stickers people tries to stick on you doesn't stay on your body?"
Minna: "I had a lot of red spots in the past. I hate the sight of them and in other people's eyes. I thought to myself... If Eli made me, I'm sure he would have ways to help me get out of this. Oh! I see all the spots on you too... I urge you to meet Eli soon. Why don't you just go to him? I'm sure he's able to help. Like how he helped me."
Elias thought to himself: "Why would Eli see me? He would be too busy doing other things. I'm sure I'm just a small fry in his sight. Why would he bother about me?
Knowing all that he is thinking, since she's gone through the same thoughts before, said, "Just give it a shoot. No point standing here and ponder. No harm trying ya? "
Elias decided to make his way. Upon seeing Eli, he was welcomed with a great hug. At one look at Elias, Eli knew what to do for him. Eli also knew that he would come and seek help. In fact, he sent Minna to be around Elias.
Take a bold step of faith to go back to our creator!
Eli --> God
Elias --> Our old ways, past and discouragements
Minna --> Changed man. New spiritual man.

Going well... doing well.
Feel good! This week has been great thus far. Plus tomorrow, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, it'll be perfect! Friday's going to be crazy!
Talking to someone who's mature and objective is great man! Really don't have to be afraid if I would be influenced in the wrong way. I know he speaks with wisdom and experience. 100% trust toward him. Now I'm taking things objectively as well.
No wrong conceptions. No doubts. No bad attitudes. I love people around me! YES! Every single one around me. Including you!

Racheal and Karen
Went out with Racheal and Karen on... I forgot which day. But it was FUN! Racheal is a CRAZY person. Walked from Esplanade to Raffles City. On the way, we went into different hotels' toilets to take pictures! Where are the pictures Rebekah?! They're all with Karen la... She's not ready. She's not ready to be ready. Looking for another chance to talk to her.
Today's service was EXCITING can?! I received... I can't respond. I can't tell you things. We have a evil mouth growing among us! Get ride of it before it starts to devour us! It's a DEEP one! What's the point?
Phrase of the Week:
There are a thousand reasons why I should give up
But I'm stubborn in the things I believe...
-Corrine May's song

That's LOVE!
Pst How: Rebekah, how are you?
Rebekah: I'm ok Pastor.
Pst How: Are you still growing strong in God?
Rebekah: Oh~ Erm....
Pst How: Why the hesitance?
Rebekah: Erm, trying to be stronger pastor.
Pst How: Ok, tell me what's one thing that you think is hindering you.
Rebekah: Scatterbrainess pastor.
Pst How: What's that?
Rebekah: I'm very scatterbrain pastor.
Pst How: Oh, so are you discouraged by that?
Rebekah: Yes pastor, sometimes.
Pst How: Ok, Liane. Go and teach her. Minister to her. I mean it. Now.
Rebekah and Liane: Huh? oh~ Goodness. ok. Haha.
Learned that, I have not thought of the consequence the other might face if I forget things. It may be nothing to me, but to the other party who trust me to do certain things might be affected. Yup, I'll learn to see from the other angle.
Pst Lia: Rebekah, you lost weight is it?
Rebekah: Huh?! Pastor, actually I gained weight.
Pst Lia: Is it? You look like you've lost weight.
Rebekah: Oh ya. I lost some weight, then I gained weight again. So overall I looked like I've lost weight.
Pst Lia: Haha~ Encouraged to hear that you've lost weight?
Rebekah: Yes Pastor.
Pst Lia: You really look smaller. I need to lose weight too.
Dad came to fetch me home. I poured out all unhappiness at home. Felt good. Dad's great! Thank God for Dad!
But, irritating imps must always appear at home. Sometimes situations make me believe that good days don't last. Give up on me for all I care! I still have Dad, church and the trinity God! Who will not judge me for the things I do. They don't deny all my goodness when my weakness show. Thats LOVE!
