Things will get better...

Amen! Things will get better! 

Things have not been going on so well here... at least for yesterday. But its just a small matter.
As human beings, we should n't gossip too much. Gossip kills both the speaker and the hearer.
I don't even want to be a part of it. At the end of the day, we are answerable to God, the One 
who will judge both the living and the dead. But teaching is challenging business here. We do
not have all the answers; and because we do not have the answers, we sometimes get so
frustrated. I asked the Lord what can be done to change the situation; what can be done so
that students will learn to be students. My only assurance is that the problem will just get
worse. And the Lord gave me an interesting answer: everybody wants an easy life that pays 
well; but there's no such thing. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Teachers in Singapore
are the most well-paid in this region. How can you expect less problems? If you want to be
well-paid, it comes with a price. Thank God that you're well-paid for suffering.

HAZE!

Thank God for fresh air!!! Man, you can't imagine how bad its been the last few days. I was literally breathing in smoke. The air was bad enough. But the pleasant smell of fresh air greeted me as i opened my eyes this morning. Hallelujah!!! The haze is gone!! Let there be rain over the next couple of weeks too!

Went to Swenson's to celebrate shaun's b'day. Its been a long time since i eat at swensons. Got to taste ice-cream cake today, and i'm glad everyone was happy and well-fed. It's really good to have money...
