Service was awesome today. Hahas, we celebrated national day too. Oh gosh, was so disappointing yesterday, wanted to see the fireworks from the indoor stadium. In the end, the condominiums blocked everything (well almost). We saw like 1/10 of it, a fraction, a tithe. But those fellas on the condos sure enjoyed -_-

But still it was fun! After the picnic, we went to leisure park. I didn't know there was this cool antique shop at the 3rd floor. Me and Joh left the group to check it out, I was determined to find a vintage batman figurine (I collect batman figures and batmobiles), and true enough i found one! John's the man. He bought it for me! Rocker. We bargained well =D Even though it didn't cost much, but still thanks John!

Isn't it true, buying expensive stuff does not mean gurantee the other party will definitely like it. But when you really have a heart for the person,you just know what to get. And it's those little things that you do that people will remember. So BIG price doesn't equal BIG satisfaction. It depends on the individual really. I'm simple and easily contented. To me, it's not about having what you want, it's wanting what you have that really matters.

Count your blessings today. Have a thankful heart. Soon, you'll realise you are actually blessed and fortunate. Yes, there will definitely be setbacks in life, but don't count the setbacks. Learn from them and move on. If you can grasp this, you'll realise happiness is also a choice. But you need to discipline your mind to achieve it. Block out the negative, think positive. I'm not saying you become naive and think everything as a simpleton does.

But gather good thoughts. Thoughts of peace, thoughts of joy, thoughts that will strengthen you. See, your mind is a a battlefield, so be wise even you are just thinking. One wrong thought can actually cripple you, and trap you. This may sound weird, but I think it is so important to, be wise with what you think.Your mind is a very powerful tool, whether you believe it or not. Creativity comes from there(heard of this word brainstorm?), knowledge is stored there, memories is hidden there, analytical ability comes from there, belief system, and so so much more. That is why it is so important to protect and guard it. Just one thought can/might change or shift your whole mindset.

Philipians 4:6-8

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
