Today, well, was quit pissed off at Jeremy and Greg, cause was supposed to meet, Jeremy, Greg, Bernard, Ethelbert, Jobeth and Samantha at Haagan dazs at Taka, but then they went to the Marriot one, so Sean and i were waiting at the one at Taka, cause i thought that they were asking abt the one at meridian hotel, mot the marriot hotel one.. so blur lah, Anyway, then i SMSed Sam, asking where they were, so they never gave me an answer that directed me to them so after waiting around for a while, i finially called them, asking where they were, until they finally told me, by then i was quit pissed alreeady cause at least give me a ring to tell me you are there instead of making me wait thinking that u were gonna come down right??? Well, why i arranged to meet them at Haagen Dazs, cause i felt like having Ice Cream, so did Sam, so i arranged to meet them there lah.. So went down there to look for them, by then for people who know me, when i'm pissed i keep a straight face and become really really quiet... so when we got there, no space, so we got 2 chairs for Sean and i and sat down lah, first 5 mins was like really quiet cause they knew i was quite pissed lah. I actually scared Jobeth and Sam. Anyway, i sat there quietly, totally lost my craving for Ice Cream, so sat there quietly lah. Trying not to say anything, cause was quite close to shooting the whole group lah, so i was looking aorund at all of them, then stopped at Sam, she had this really apologetic and guilty look in her eyes and well, who could stay mad at Sam? Then it happened, she dipped her long spoon and fed me a little bit of her ice cream lah. For me, it was like the Hand of God working, telling me not to be angry, they were just playing, no doubt it was extremely childish. So yeah i took it and after that the anger and irritation just left, filtered away from that small little gesture.

After that everything went well and fine yeap, the rest of the day was good. Maybe it cause i spent the rest of the day with Sam, Jobeth and the rest. Yeah, as u can see though i've only known them like few months, they've had a big impact on me already. Sam has sort of a calming effect on me, its like around her i can just drop my guards and be myself with her and yeha, she calms me when i'm like frustrated or stressed, been talking to her lah, anyway, even a small sms from her makes the night interesting, its just her lah, That's one reason why i like hanging around her and why i like her so much. Jobeth, she's just understanding and someone i can talk to and relate things to, though she's like 4-5 years younger than me, the both of them are actually. Yeah, went over to her place just now and just sat in her living room talking to her and her brother. talking abt ghost stories and our travels around the world. yeap. had a lot of fun actually. Yeap, that's Jobeth also a very sweet girl.

Was reading Sherwin's and Lester's Journal and there's this one part where he said "I began to realise how, over the past year, I've truly drifted from him. Amidst all the work I've been doing for him, I've not taken the time to talk, and listen to him.. in fact, now would be a good time.." And when i read it, it struck a chord, and i looked back on today and the rest of my life that i've lived and i realized that God has been playing a more active role in my life than i imagined. and its always been through what my friends have said or done, Take for example, today, when Sam fed me the Ice - Cream.

She messaged me just now, apologizing for what happened today, and i was telling her that i was alright, not her fault anyway. Then she said that she was really glad that i took the ice cream, cause it told her that i was alright and it made her quite happy, yeah. Amazing how so small a gesture can mean so much yeah? Sometimes, the smallest things can trigger the most amazing responses, or reactions. I remember my friend Adeline didn't talk to me for a month or so cause of something i said or did, which i really couldn't remember. on the other hand, i once got into a fight with elena and yeah she got angry at me cause of something small, and i spent the entire of next day with her, skipped school and everything to try to make it up to her by spending time with her and tlaking to her lah, then at the end of the day she pecked me on the cheek when i thought she was still angry at me and yeah it made my night and i guess hers too. Amazing isn't it?

Such can be said for God's actions, that he works in small ways to make u see things and realize things. u know in relationships, its the small things that really really matter, not the big things.

I'll leave you now with a one of my favorite quotes from Blessed Mother Theresa

"We can do no great things, only little things with great love"
