Cat Poo Poo

My goodness! it's been 3 months since I last blogged!

I must have been really busy! :P actually I'm just too caught up with things to blog... and I'm also a little lazy :P cos I'd rather do other stuff... like read a book or something :)

But basically, I started the year rushing other projects like Yuan Chang's wedding video; if you had been involved, yeah you know what i mean :) the video brought me into mid-Feb with all the prep and filming. I've still got his actual wedding footage to edit... man... editing takes up a whole week if not more... and it's a killer, that's why I'm not doing wedding videos ever again.

Cos every wedding video basically comes in the same format: 1) fetching the bride with all the sabos... 2) ROM... 3) Dinner... the format's the same, except different faces... and... not to mention I'll be half sick of all the love songs after I complete the edit. And I really don wanna have a deja vu feeling when I walk down my own aisle thinking... "hey... this looks and sounds familiar... oh yeah, reminds me of the other HUNDRED & ONE wedding videos I've made... bleah!" it just takes away the sanctity of the whole wedding affair if I keep doing wedding videos...

So... sorry to the rest of my cell members who will be getting married and expect me to do wedding videos for them! :)

Besides that, the Lord had blessed me with a part-time job tt doesn't take up too much of my time and yet at the same time... you gotta read this ... pays me more than when I was working full time for the last 5 years of my life!!!

It's absolutely nuts and incomprehensible! All I can say is He is a real God and He provides for my every single need. It was exactly the prayer I asked for: "Lord, I need a job tt can pay me so I can pay my family bills and yet have enough time to do ministry and my own company stuff..."

Bingo! along came this job where I do roadshows at schools and I get paid per show :)

and I love my job! cos I love to talk to students! :)

On a personal note, God has been showing me how to rest in His sovereignty. He's been showing me how to enjoy the ordinary and mundane in life i.e. doing my laundry, cleaning my room, washing my car mat... which brings me to another highlight of my life this week.

I had to wash my car mat last Thurs night after a night out with Basia. Why?

cos I stepped on cat s*** yes! cat S***!

so we got into my car and this pungent smell came waffling into my nose.

I said to Basia, "did u smell something?"

She said, "no... I can't smell anything... cos my nose is blocked..."

but throughout the whole journey to her place... the smell of S*** (i really don think i need to explain how s*** smells like (: )just kept assaulting my nose... I almost blanched a few times while driving.

"I must have stepped on some s***" I said. "think it must have been the cat story I told just now..."

you see, just before we got into the car, we saw a cat along the road and I made up this fictitious cat ghost story to Basia. We thought the cat must have been pissed and pooped around my car for me to step on.

thank you Mr Cat! I really love the smell of your S***! :)

so... when we parked the car under her flat, we checked and true enough there's this mass of gooey brown stuff stuck to my shoes!!! ARGH!!! CAT POO!!

well we weren't sure it was Cat Poo then until Basia's Mum confirmed it with her great declaration of (in mandarin) "Must be Cat Poo Poo! Cat Poo Poo is the most smelly one! Not even dog poo poo can compare with the cat poo poo!"

Words of infinite wisdom indeed...

so we were there at her common corridor, Basia pouring water over my car mat and shoes while I emptied almost the entire bottle of washing detergent and scrubbing furiously to get rid of the smell...

so... while I was there scrubbing and cleaning... mucus free flowing from my nose... cos I was having a running nose then... I asked God what He was trying to teach me...

and He said, "well, learn to enjoy the ordinary son :)" yes... smiley face included...

by ordinary He meant the things we have to do in life while we're on this side of heaven, the cleaning, the scrubbing, the basic maintenance of... Life...

tt is... before we die and go to heaven and we can command our guardian angels to scrub our mansions for us :P

But isn't it beautiful...? God allowed wear and tear in this life time, to teach us how to be faithful and good stewards of all that He has given to us. And of course to learn tt in order to be great, we need to be faithful with the small things first...
