she sits on a bed watching a wrestling reality show in Discovery Channel on a Tuesday night in KK while typing away on her dad's laptop while her dad reads the newspaper on the other side of the very comfortable hotel room. She looks up and wonders for awhile why the water tap is on when no one is in the bathroom. She figures theres something wrong with the tap but couldnt be bothered to check on it. She looks back to the screen and realizes she should be doing her cop report but instead she's blabbering on a post where no one might even read. she thinks - 'its just to make myself happy'. She knows someone will read! she laughs evilly.
she sees the monkey and laughs at the irony. monkey. monkey thinks.
she is told the randomness annoys a certain someone. for that someone, she will try to be more annoying. she wants to watch everybody loves raymond. she cant seem to sleep for the past few days. damn the jetlag-ness! she smells of durian. yes indeed, she does.
She feels content. She is amazed at how amazing her God is at revealing even in the littlest things. She is realizing yet again that he restores what he takes away. He heals. He forgives. She is in love with him. for the very fact he first loved her. for the fact He constantly pursues her even when she is the least desirable, least pursueable.
'Why is it that many of us strive for years to attain spirituality through methodologies, programs and techniques; and when blueprints for success fail, we give up and resign ourselves to a life of mediocrity, frustration and regression??' she wonders. 'What is the abundant life of which God spoke about? Why do I feel as if I can never attain it' As she thinks of the next sentence to type, she recalls the wonderful durian that she ate just an hour ago at the side of the road near Likas hospital.
Tembaga durian, D24, Buah Emas, Udang Merah, 101, D99.. the list goes on.. bittersweet? go for the tembaga. Sweet and thick.. D24? or d101 maybe.. there's a different kind for everyone. soft and bitter? gooey and sweet? dark yellow? or pale ivory? of course, one has to get used to the smell first then taste. love it or hate it, u cant ignore it :)
ah yes, she got the durian gene from her dad. He who can differentiate the different kinds of durian by taste. its a gift i tell you, a gift!
She realizes she's gone off track. She reminisces over the amazingness that has been the past 3 weeks of holidays.. from home with the her dogs to 17 hours of a plane ride with cuckoo thing 1 and cuckoo thing 2 (ah, she laughs again to herself. she misses them badly. she wishes they were here.. ) She is thankful that she was given a fantastic break that will never be forgotten.. So much memories. SO much pictures for blackmail! she grins again.
she realizes she has a long day tomorrow. She met up with Lannel, Vanessa, Freddy, Sheila, Anthea and Dilyn just now and wishes she had more time with them. she has to leave on thursday :( sometimes theres so much to be done but so little time! she is going to Shalom home tomorrow and possibly meeting up with Kev and Grace. two of them make the world a funner place to be at, she believes. she smiles to herself. tomorrow, brand new day, brand new blessings. new encounters, new experience.
you see, she is not content just yet. she yearns for more. she is gonna challenge Him for more :)
