Sounds like the title of a song huh? Nahh. Just a friendly service reminder to everyone out there: just hang on to your phones when ringing me!

Sadly & tragically (a phrase my pastor says all the time! hahaha. its so cute he’s got all these phrases he says all the time that botox his sentences. no awkward pauses with him!), people have been downing the phone by the 5th or 6th ring. This doesn’t give me enough time to fish the phone out of where I’ve kept it, assess if I want to take the call (just kidding), or pick it up on time. So for the good of mankind, just ring a little longer!

Here are my reasons:

• The phone may be in the bag. By far, the commonest excuse. Amen ladies? But, hello skirts don’t have pockets! And some pants don’t do their priestly duty of having a pocket either. Sigh, pants oh pants.
• I may not (won’t) call you back. Sorreh. If I don’t know what it’s about, I’m just gonna text – or wait for you to call back. “Why Eunice you so liddat?” Well see.. I’m on some expensive phone plan to save money. Haha, what!? But the phone rental is RM10, and my next best option is RM50 a month (I’ve been keeping under this! YAY! This month I just shaved under it…haha. Well, I gotta stick by my pa’s rules) But seriously, this bondage is very mafan. I wished tel-cos were free like Taiwan! THEN I’ll have no more problems.
• It’s charging. You know how you sprint all the way from the garden to your room and it stops ringing..AND you can’t call back cos your dad has made it very clear NOT to make calls? Yeah! stinks. very stressful.

Completely Unrelated #1: At the office last week, I realised something I do that is so dangerously lethal to my own dignity. I sing…or hum…along to things way too much. Unconsciously. We have this old printer used for just one process (whatever bloats her float!) and when activated, it makes a curious singing noise like “det DEEEEEEEEEEET det…det DEEEEEEET det…deet deet det” and it’s got a really cool rhythm & all that. Well yeah you guessed it, who in the world grooves to the sweet buzzing hum of the printer???

(I only got it when people started laughing. Is this abnormal? This harmonising with the printer?)

Completely unrelated #2: My TWD arborio rice pudding burnt. I’m going to take some fancy pictures, cry, disguise it up with some fruits, cry some more, make someone eat it, cry, or throw it away. …No I was kidding about crying.

Completely Related #1: On the deeper side, things have been fermenting in my brain but I haven’t written them out, mostly in splurts, but never in full, or ever in the blog – you sit in front of Write Post and feel incredibly lazy. I’m not a big writer but I’ve found the reason: I Am A Pro At Wasting Time. And one more thing. Top reason: In’nernet. Solution: Cut out in’ernet = more fruitful time spent finishing books, doing things I need to do… = OUCH! Lord if this is what you want me to do, help me cos I am seriously addicted! Confession. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. But Lord help me kill my ‘old man’. With the mercy I have undeserving, amen. :)

Romans 6:6
“Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.”

Completely Related #2: I’ve been going to church every single flipping day for the past one week and weirdly… I love it! Now I can’t wait to be applying what I’ve learnt. Ouch. That meant I have to be asleep…like now. 2.23am. But I also wanted to say that I’m so amazed we serve a deeply personal God who takes us through difficult situations to experience Him. Experience Him 24 hours = your whole life. Experiencing him at work, at the kitchen table, in the LRT, on the computer…(now the last one I have no idea!?)

#1 Goal for tomorrow: GET TO soaking up in His word & in Him before driving at 9am. (i have all that time to kill, oh thank Him for grace abounding! haha..i have a grace period of 2.25am to 8am to sleep…instead of 7. hey 1 hour makes a difference!)

#2 the message translation for the bible is great!

Isaiah 1:14
“I hate your new moon festivals and your appointed feasts, They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.

Want to know why? Stay tuned.

#3 (sorry I keep editing this thang) Isn’t it funny how we always try to avoid being annoying? At least, afraid lah. Maybe being annoying has it’s purpose. Not in the childish sense…but being persistent… (sorry people I will form my thoughts before blogging next time. hee haw.)

Jeremiah 33:3
Call unto Me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things that thou knowest not.
