it was 7th Sept 6 yrs ago, on a sat evening, that I received Christ into my life. It's a really significant day in my life...So in marky's terms.. he calls it my spiritual birthday...
It's also the 1st time I manage to go to church since I came back to S'pore about a month ago and started taking care of my mum. I went to Yishun Methodist Mission again at Yishun GV, for the 2nd time this year.. becoz Simon Cheo is there and it's the nearest church I know of.. which I feel comfortable worshipping at.
It started off as a pretty good morning.. I had some difficulty getting up early.. but still in time to drive there.. I could easily bus there.. coz I have a direct bus.. but wasn't early enuff... Corporate Worship was awesome and I just had a great time soaking in God's presence. It's their missions month in church and it's so apt for me to be there...
I know I have my responsibilities so no intentions to stay there late.. after service, casually talked to Simon and Evon abit.. then he prayed for me.. I didn't want to hold him up.. so I left shortly.. and went to Northpoint to get some stuff from Guardian Pharmacy.. but to my dismay.. it's poorly stocked and no pharmacist around, so I couldn't get what I wanted for my mum.. I thot perhaps my mum wanted to eat some outside food that I can't whip out for her.. so I rang her and I take-away char kuay teow for her and hokkien mee for myself.. got stuck for a shortwhile at bodyshop coz they have some sale and I wanted to get some foot lotions and shower gels.. then I quickly make my way back to the car at GV Yishun... as I was exiting the carpark, which was not very tight but a lil. winding.. I was abnormally confident about my driving skills and didn't check as much as usual and the accident happened. Next thing I know I heard a scratching sound.. the back car door behind the passenger seat was scratched against the wall.. :| the BMW 745 Li that I'm driving got scratched.. aarrgghhh.. and I got pretty devastated and distracted.. and I almost had another accident along the way home.. it could be I'm tired I don't know.. but I think Satan is really hard at work to prevent me from going to church. after I got home, my mum was concerned about me.. and comforted me.. and said not to worry.. my dad was a bit unhappy which is understandable.. but later on in the day my mum said this morning when I was leaving for church she said she had this gut feeling about something is gonna happen when I go out.. and true enuff something happened. she wanted to stop me from going to church but she didn't want to appear to be unreasonable.. and she regretted not stopping me to go to church.. then all these wouldn't have happened.. *sighz.. (some bgd info, my mum is not a believer.. she's a staunch buddhist...)
Owells, I guess I have to get over this episode.. and move on.. and be more careful while driving in the future.. especially while driving such a big car.. but to be honest.. I usually will turn on the sensor and pay extra attention when exiting or entering carparks in singapore coz they are most of the time too tight for the car.. and maybe I gotta watch my attitude sometimes.. and not be over-confident... HUMILITY.. HUMILITY...
