Prawn Fishing
Went Prawn Fishing yesterday...... I was abit reluctant at first since it is going to cost me $14.50 an hour. I am unsure about my skills in prawn fishing. Nevertheless I went ahead. The man told me that if I use the "sand worm", I will get a good catch from it. However the "sand worm" comes in a tub form and it will cost me $4.00. I was not willing to pay $4 for a tub of worms since I will only be fishing for 1 hour. I requested for 1 worm but the man budge not. I took my share of fish cake (prawn bait) and went on my way. Even before I could hook the fish cake up, the man came and give me a super long worm.. :p Yeah!! He even taught me how to hook the worm. After a while, another indian man came long and taught me further. After a short and exciting 1 hour.. I caught 8 prawns. When the hour is up, I retrieved my net cage and saw the last prawn escaping from the hole found at the bottom of the cage. I was dumb folded. I went to the man and requested for a refund. He refused. He said that I choose the net cage by myself which is of course not the truth. I looked at him and then look at all the other fisher men and exclaimed out loud.. " You gave me a cage with holes and now all the prawns gone.... How?"
One old uncle spoke up for me and ask him to give me back the number of prawns I caught. I caught 8 and was expecting 8 in return. The man took out a large net and was netting the pond for more prawns. Out of the 8 prawns that he netted, one of them was already dead. I requested or a change but he refused saying that it is ok to have a dead prawn and that the pond has no more prawns. He then mocked at me by saying that since I do not want the prawn, he will feed them to his son. I was abit confused by his statement at first before realizing that he was actually referring to all the huge fish in the net cage. I insisted that he returns me the 1 prawn and refused to move. My sister (Stephanie) looked at me and asked me what can I do if the man refused to give in. I told her that I will stand beside the cashier box and not move. I recall the parable in Luke.
"Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, 6because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.'
7"Then the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' 8I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness[e] he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
True enough, the man finally relented and instructed his friend to catch 1 more prawn for me. On our way back, we saw 2 cute kids playing around with their make-shift rod (using a stick and some strings) The boy seeing me walking away started shouting "Bye Bye Kor Kok" continously". Lo' and behold.. I heard he shouting "Aunty Bye Bye".. I thought my ears were playing a trick on me. I stop and inch my ear towards the sound. "Aunty Bye Bye".. I was about to asked my dad to reaffirm what I heard. Even before I could, he turned around and laughed at my sister, saying that the kids were calling her aunty. Both of us burst out laughing ( which is of course my dad and myself and definitely not my sister). I couldn't laugh in a more hysterical and sissy way than this. The constant greeting by the 2 kids towards my sister kept on ringing in the background even though both my dad and I were already laughing uncontrollably.
While waiting for Lester and Co. to arrive, I saw Michelle Chia. She looks really glamourous and pretty. I was star-struck.. haha. Lester came and took his chance at prawn fishing. He took home 6 prawns and caught one small-sized tilapia, which of course he did not bring back.

Unequally Yoke
I was talking to one of the female church elder that day. I posed her the question on whether her husband has received Christ or not? She looked at me and then gave me a "depressed" NO!
Female elder: Well........ You know that famous phrase on being unequally yoke??? Its very true you know!
Me: Really?? !!
Female elder: Yes!! You know when you first fall in love.. You keep telling yourself that you will win the soul for the Lord! But after getting married .. ... its' very hard you know?
Me: Hmmm.. ya
Female elder: You will face alot of problem regarding family issues.. You and your spouse might have very different opinions towards life. Example..Pre-marital Sex issues.. My husband has a very egoistic character and has his own views on worldly issues.. This is very hard on our children.
Me: Yah.. !! I agree with you.
Well.. Lesson learnt.. I thank God for bringing classic examples into my life to learn about biblical values. I thank God for warning us before hand so that we will not need to go through all the troubling issues of being unequally yoke with your spouse. I believe I can spend more effective time on other issues.

Crazy Taxi Ride
I had a crazy Taxi ride on my way home from cell today. The air con was down, the windows were not open, the driver was swivering his steering wheel left and right continously. I felt like I am sitting in a boat. I felt sick and could empathize with my driving instructor now. LOL! Especially so when I had experienced an amplified version of my common mistakes made during my driving lessons.
I am having my driving lesson tomorrow morning.. or rather today morning.. since its already 12:43am. Well.. ... Got to improve..! Lord help me !!

Blessed Lord
The Lord had blessed me with a job! Well, I can't disclose much over here but I must say that I am enjoying and learning much from it. Without a doubt, this is definitely another blessing I am receiving from the Lord. Sadly, I am not going to disclose much for the sake of the employer. I guess there isn't anything wrong with it, but it's better not broadcast unless people specifically ask. Thank you Lord for blessing me with a job that is flexible, interesting, challenging, friendly and reasonably well-paid.
Thank you Lord!
Thank you Lord!

Bon Jour'.. Calling from French School
I received a call from Sister Mei-I yesterday morning. She asked whether I can help out at the french school. I was told that they were lack of manpower and needed help. I thought it must be pretty cool helping out in a cookhouse. I bathed, changed and set off to my destination, "Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3".
Upon reaching, I gave Sis. Mei-I a call and was given the directions towards the school. The school stand out in the midst of all the industrial buildings. Sis. Mei-I was there to welcome me as I made my way to exchange for a visitor pass. I was then bought to the kitchen where all the action takes place. I thought to myself how cool.!! Which vegetable shall I cut? which meat to marinate? Where are the spices?
The boss came and directed me to help another C.A (Chef Assistant) This means I am a C.A.A (Chef assistant's assistant) How nice!!!! My first task was to sleep the floor, next to pour the rubbish, next to transport the used utensils, next to mop the floor, next to wash the utensils, next to collect the dishes and sort out the utensils. By then, I was shacked and trying to curb the murmuring spirit within me. The verse" Do it as unto the Lord" kept flashing across my mind. I purposed in my heart not to murmur. I carried on even though my back was aching like an old lady. I looked at the old indian lady beside me, hammering her back. What the heck! I can't be in a worse state than her, if she can do it why can't I? I carried on.
After having french cuisine for lunch, I carried on with work. Started by arranging and stacking up cups, followed by arranging trays, carried some tables, refill the water for the food warmer and called it a day. I received my pay for a day's work. $36 !! This much for a day of work!! The boss was nice enough to pay me $6/hr instead of $5.50 due to the last minute arrangement. I got my dad to fetch me. Thanks dad! Well.. What a day! I learnt alot from it. Thank you Lord!
