breath.out

Yesterday was such a lovely Saturday afternoon, after teaching my kids at the music school!! I felt really happy because the kids wanted to enrol with me, for piano lessons for another year in the new school term. I like them, and I also like the fact that they like me and my music! I learn so much through teaching. so much!! (understanding parents and children)

I jogged around the neighbourhood after work ... didn't want to look into the news... just coz...I saw the paper in the morning with this huge picture showing the whole town of Si Chuan being shattered into pieces.

While I was jogging around, there's an ice-cream truck beside me along the way =) I enjoyed the happy tune from the truck so much especially when children kept running out from the playground for ice-cream. One child stood in front of the truck, and his ice-cream cone somehow took extra long to deliver...and while waiting, the little boy started to dance with the music, shaking his body, shaking his little buttie. hahaha!! When his dad ran to his boy, telling him to buy, Two more, "we want two more cones", this is the scene I thought, a scene worth to last forever.

At night, I got a call from Mel...updating about a friend. Her little daughter just passed away on May 9th......due to sickness. [deep sigh!] R.I.P. - Molly

This week, it has been very strenuous emotionally! but I'm thankful for church on Sunday!Thankful for Joyce's announcement for the bake sale next Sunday, as an appreciation for parents' donation to the mission trip. Thankful for Hannah's singing..."Still" by Hillsong, a song, dedicated to Molly. Thankful for Mel editing my English writing...Thankful that my mom telling me this morning..."why are you dressed so clumsily all the time? Your outfit, and your hair...they don't go together." Mom, thanks...thanks for the kind words right from the heart :) [hee hee, but Wendy told me I looked perfectly fine, when I was taking a quick peak at my own reflection before I stepped into church :P she also encouraged by saying that God looks into one's heart...hee hee hee]

Anyways, as days go by, there is not one person who doesn't have something in their hearts that ache or concern...

The Nooma video discussion today [topic - breathe] reaffirms how each of us is so different and hence Effective communication is a deep lesson!!! It's like one person is working with a Mac computer and another person is working with a PC, but regardless of the hard-wired differences, haha, we can still work toward the same goal, e.g. fundraising! This is neat!!!
