I wanted to blog last night but in the end I could not as I was trying to rectify a synchronisation problem between my computer and my Personal Digital Assistant (PDA).
I came home around 7:30pm from my Malaysia trip. I started working on the technical glitch around 8pm. Even till 12am, I was still unable to solve the fault. It irked me quite a bit.
I gave up after that and decided to go to bed. To a certain extent I was caught off-guard again and I have allowed a problem between two gadgets to affect my evening. It was not worth the while but I still fell into the devil's trap.
From being frustrated with two machines, another incident caused me to be agitated with humans next. As I was dealing with the above-mentioned, mum came into my room and told me that she wants to change her birthday celebration from Wednesday to today. As I had plans made regarding work and also reserved a table at the restaurant for the celebration already, I told her I could not and started kicking a fuss.
I could have controlled myself and see whether I can change my appointment for tonight, which in the end was possible, before I kind of snapped. So everything added up to the fire that was already raging in me.
Anyway, I explained to mum in the end why I was in a foul mood and she said it was okay. Well, hopefully tonight she will enjoy herself.
All I have mentioned so far, I knew I could have controlled them and I even reminded myself to be careful and yet I still failed. I guess my flesh is still weak. I pray the Lord will help me as I press on to overcome this area of my shortcoming.
The trip to Malacca was okay. We shopped quite a bit and ate a lot! I had a total of 5 bowls of chendol in that two days spent in the Malaysian state. We had chicken rice balls, mee suah with oysters, Peranakan food like Buah Keluak, pineapple tarts from a famous Peranakan shop (I also bought a couple of boxes home for my family and friends), other Peranakan desserts, etc.
Never have I felt so bloated after each meal but it was a good time spent as the running gang ate and fellowshipped. We did not run but we walked quite a lot. In all I think we covered about 15km. Well, at least that helped burn some of the food we ate.
Praise the Lord for the two days of break.
I am supposed to plan the songs for this Sunday's worship at the 11:15am service. I intend to send the list out to the Worship Team before Wednesday. Currently I do not have the desire to think of them yet. I pray the Lord will help me as I go through this day by prompting me what the church should sing and what I should do as I lead.
I shall get back to work now.
Thanks be to God for the weekend. Looking forward to yet another week of adventure.
