Have just finished doing a round of editing for the IT Law report on cyber terrorism. 6,700 words! But it should be fine, just hope that we hit the main points and address the issues involved. Wonder how we can creatively present it on Thursday during class... maybe bring up the recent lenient punishment on Bashir to 'stir up' sentiments (I mean, just 30 months??).

Anyway, don't wanna go into a huge political debate just before going to bed ;) Am still feeling rather bloated, but better now as compared to yesterday. Think the Yakult I drank just now helped too. Took some antacids this afternoon, but they made me so thirsty, so think I'll try to do without them, and just eat carefully but regularly. R was sick today too, down with fever. Humm must continue to cover the comm in prayer, believe that this goes beyond just the physical. So many things happening now, but like the Word that was released during service today says, God puts us through the fire not to destroy us, but to strengthen and refine us, so that we can withstand the trials that are to come for His glory! And I believe that God has been recently encouraging us to just trust in Him no matter what the circumstances, and to fix both eyes on Him. Esp not to let 1) the old way of doing things; dead religion; ritualism; and 2) the 'valley of vision', myopia, distracted sight caused by looking at circumstances or people, keep us from clinging onto God, like how the Shunammite woman did to Elisha. That's the kind of desperation and brokeness that God will never turn away from or despise - in fact, He's attracted to the weak, because it's when we are weak that we can be strong in Him!

God is good :)

Just now over family dinner (steamed fish with ginger - yum!), we were discussing about the family holiday this June. I'm really looking forward to it actually, it's been a while since we've travelled as a family, and I think it's much needed, esp before Kor & I enter the working world (and leave will be much sought-after but a distant dream :P). We'll probably be going in the 2nd and 3rd weeks of June, definitely to some place cool at least (snow would be excellent!), but in June, not many places are experiencing real snow I guess. I suggested the Canadian Rockies (still had such great memories of the place when I was there in 2002), and Dad said that we could then go on to Niagara Falls even! That'll be awesome... But really, what's on my heart is that somehow our family will be able to bond, with all that's going on. While each of us treasure our independence (esp us 3 children), at the end the saying "blood is thicker than water" is not repeated often without reason. Will trust God at His Word meanwhile, that "Christ is before all things, and in Him all things hold together".

Hmm think it's chicken soup time. Shall go to bed early today. Long week ahead, many things to do... but God is good, and His mercies are new every morning, and ain't it great that He actually calls those who are weary and heavy-laden to go to Him, so freely and without condemnation? He asks us to cast our cares on Him, because He cares for us... and while I'm reluctant to release my burdens on anyone else, I know that He is more than able to bear them on my behalf.

Man, it's great to serve and love a God that loves and lives!
