And as any law abiding citizen would have done, my entire family decided to participate in this global activity by turning off the lights for an hour.
It was unfortunate, though, that I decided to have my shower at 8.35pm. Not wanting to spoil this occasion, I fulfilled my daily activity without the lights on. And this was the only thing that was illuminated in the shower. I couldn't have turned it off, even if I wanted to.
It feels disorienting not being able to hear the clatter of my otherwise noisy keyboard as I pen this entry. Having taken the day off, I wasted no time in hitting the pool in the morning (believe me, that was my first quiet time spent by the pool), and later on, with Adrian and Samuel in the evening. The garang me decided to go really deep into the pool. Yes, I managed to sink to the bottom of the pool, but not before the pool water entered both my ears in rapid succession. Blame it on the buildup of the yucky stuff or what, I don't know. It will lead to an ear infection for sure, but I pray that it heals in time for Saturday!
I should try the tea that CH bought for me on Sunday-it was a pleasant surprise-that kind Godly brother had seen it fit to suggest that I try Green Tea with apple extracts to cure my recent bout of headache attacks. I'm really touched and surprised! CH, I owe you one. (:
This morning, Ben Oh shared some interesting insights about an educational path as offered by private institutions, and for that I am grateful. Most people, in my opinion, would be quick to shun private schools. But Ben advised otherwise, and I must admit that I never considered things from that perspective before. In my quiet time, I sincerely committed the whole plan to God, asking for strength and obedience to make the right, Godly choice. Co-incidental or not, I received an email from MDIS inviting me for their open day. I had a similar conversation with a concerned auntie today- and I am glad that I am not in this journey on my own.
This week's unbelievably crazy with the upcoming worship practice, reccee sessions, and the YA BBQ coming up. But boy, I am excited. And there's every reason to!
