Camp etc.

I'm going for camp tomorrow! Fri-Sun. And I'm driving there! It's in Bentong, Pahang. I hadn't intended to drive, but the camp organiser told me that there weren't enough drivers, so I volunteered. And I'm picking up three guys -...

Shocking news

This morning, I got news in my email that a friend, and – dare I say it? – spiritual mentor has passed away. The unusual thing is that this man lived on the other side of the world from me...

God's values

Today seems to be the day for surprises via the Internet. I checked into my site and found a note from a girl called Belle in my guestbook. She said she'd chanced upon my blog and has been reading it...

And she had flowers

Slept at 5am last night, or rather this morning. I really have to stop doing crazy things like that – it's time to be staid and "normal", as befits a proper grown-up. Then again... naah. How boring! *laughs* I took...

Loneliness

I致e just been scrolling through my cellphone痴 phone book, trying to find someone to have dinner with me. Couldn稚 find anyone. I think I don稚 have enough friends. The same thing happened last night. I got hungry at 10pm and...

The swimming that wasn't

Janelle and I were supposed to go swimming yesterday – a morning workout before settling down to work in the office. I need to start some kind of exercise regimen. I went home from Sat-Mon and when I tried wriggling...

High heels and my little car

Almost all the department store chains are having sales. Went to Isetan and heroically restrained myself from buying any more shoes, although I did try a few pairs. The last time I counted, I had like 37 pairs, so I...

Trustworthy God

This morning I had a “God moment” in church. It was one of those times when I just wake up and see what’s been under my nose all this while. *grin* We were singing “I’m so secure, You’re here with...

Not nice...

This afternoon I checked my guestbook and was stunned to discover this entry:Umm, you make a living writing? Highly doubtful. You have all the wit and originality of a retarded 12 year old. I've long believed that only the mentally...

Christians – mentally deficient?

I was still brooding about yesterday’s incident with the unknown message-leaver. Then this morning, I had another message, from a man named Russ:Don't worry about (that person)... The only people who think religious people are mentally deficient are those who...

Don't watch it!

I am soooooooooo sleepy! I know it痴 not interesting news, but I really am! Janelle and I went swimming this morning. We have decided to swim three mornings a week, before I go to work. Went on Monday morning but...

Finding myself

I really hate introductions. Not those, “Hi, I’m Sunflower, and you are...?” kind of introductions. I mean introductions that are the beginning of stories. I have all these wonderful notes in front of me, all the information swimming around in...

Traffic contretemps

On Saturday morning, I was on my way to an assignment in the heart of the city and had just made a left turn into a junction, when this policeman on a motorcycle signalled for me to stop. So I...

True Contentment

This is so cool: “Blind people can already surf the Web using screen access software that translates information into synthesized speech or Braille. A new technology could change the way they use the Web by allowing them to ‘feel’ electronic...

Sunflower the ostrich

I hate confrontations. I would rather ignore the phone, run in the opposite direction, and go into hiding than have to confront someone. Probably would make a good ostrich, except that I don’t have the long neck. Oh, nor the...

A bit blue

I feel exhausted. Probably haven’t been getting enough sleep – wait a minute, what am I saying?? Definitely haven’t been getting enough sleep… I’m a night owl, hardly ever sleep before 2am, which makes getting out of bed in the...

War

Saw K-19: The Widowmaker on Saturday night with two other friends. I wanted to cry – me, who almost never cries in movies! So many deaths, so much suffering – and for what? It was all so unnecessary. For those...
