I thought I was supposed to have my first driving lesson but when I went to the driving school, I was told that it is a theory class that I had to attend. The duration was about 1 1/2 hours.
I kind of suspected that it would not be a practical lesson today because last week when I told a friend about it and when she asked about the time, she said it is weird to have the practical lesson at 9am when it is supposed to be 8:30am. Anyway, the class was a good refresher course for me since I have not touched the steering wheel of a car for a couple of years already.
Well, I will start proper next Tuesday. I shall look forward to it.
I had to run some errands after the class. When I was in Raffles City, I met Mr Thaksin (Thailand's ex-Prime Minister) and his wife. They were shopping. When I saw them, I was quite surprised but decided to give them a smile when we made eye-contact. He smiled back and walked on.
This man is a billionaire but he did not have any bodyguards with him. He and his wife just held each other's hand as they shopped. Some noticed them but for those who did not, the couple would probably be passed off as any other person in the street.
I do not know how others would have felt or reacted but when I saw him, my heartbeat started to increase and there was this sense of "I-am-not-worthy-to-be-in-your-presence" awe. It was crazy to have felt that way but it came upon me there and then.
As I carried on with my errands, something dawned upon me along the way. Will I have the same sense of awe for God when I know He is around? In fact, He is around all the time since He is omnipresent. If that is the case, do I stand in awe of Him at every moment of my life?
Well, sad to say, not all the time. I guess the saying "Familiarity Breeds Contempt" holds true when one knows another too well and take the person for granted. The scary thing is I am taking the Almighty God for granted. I hope He will have mercy on me for times when I do that.
I went to see the Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner about my arm. He did some twisting here and there and used some red lamp treatment. Well, the shoulder feels less sore now. Hopefully in due time, everything would be alright.
I got a call from the Blood Bank again to donate my blood as soon as I can. The 'O+" blood type is running dry. They called me last week actually but I did not have the time to go. Since they called again, I decided to detour to the Singapore General Hospital for the donation. I pray this small bag I have given would save a life.
Okie, I shall stop here. Need to go buy dinner before I attend the Local Church Executive Committee's meeting.
I shall write again if there is anything else.
