i'm glad to say that my relationship with my dad is much better now. though we did not have our heart-to-heart talk, i think there is better communication between my dad and i, and i thank God for that.
i got a new bass guitar! it's a Squier Jazz Bass, and i simply love the tone and feel of it! it's a second hand bass, and the price was really good. though it's made in China, which is supposedly substandard as compared to those made in Japan or America, the sound and workmanship doesn't look like it. i think it's 1 of those rare gems, the 1-in-a-thousand bass haha. i can't wait to try it out this Thursday for Snooze practice!
i also got a new backpack bag! this is actually a gift from the Engine staff (thanks Jo, Rudy, Janice!) and it came as a very big surprise to me. Janice commented that my current bag was too old and torn (there's a hole in the front pocket, but i don't put anything inside it) but little did i suspect that the staff actually went to get me a new bag! i mean, it's not like i asked for a new bag or i hinted that i wanted a new bag, because i was planning on continuing to use the current one. now i bring the bag to work, and will definitely continue to use it when school starts. it's a dark shade of orange hehe...
i thank God that Ho Wai agreed to help out in Prayer comm (NUS Campus Crusade for Christ Engine region) this coming academic year! when i called him, i did not expect his answer to be so prompt. with Ho Wai in the P-comm, i do not have to worry so much, and i can juggle my responsibilities better, so thank God for sending help! =p
i thank God for Jason and his mission team who went to Khon Kaen, Thailand this year. Jason shared about his experiences yesterday during Youth Service, and though everyone was kind of distracted and not paying attention, i really rejoiced in the Lord. firstly, because God really used Jason and the team to reap the harvest which my team sowed last year. secondly, because i really see Jason growing in his faith, and he is a great encouragement to me. =p
