At the end he offered help to do for me, checking the camera, tried it out, and bargained as well.<\/p>\n<p>Then on Sunday miraculously got time to shop again&#8230;this time got the jean was looking for (30% from Giordano),\u00a0 water bottle, and last-minute camera pouch. All in the budget and &#8230; got them when i don&#8217;t even think of ever getting them in first place. Sunday suddenly Cherry wanted to go Orchard, and Yen Lyng was waiting for somebody at Orchard, and Vi\u00a0was free and waiting for evening meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Yah&#8230;it&#8217;s very taxing towards today. Haven&#8217;t had enough sleep. But i thank God, i roughly get back to the old discipline of waking up early in the morning and read my Bible in total silence&#8230;:D<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps after all, this US trip is just to train and shape me back to my olden days of daily reading Bible undisturbed in the morning&#8230;hehehehe<\/p>\n<p>And to trust God&#8217;s providence&#8230;that everything i need will come at the rite time. It&#8217;s true that in the past i don&#8217;t need to buy almost a single thing. And now the time for buying things, helps also come as much as needed. Perhaps one day\u00a0will come when i can do all these by myself?\u00a0 or in turn helping someone\u00a0else in need.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m never be the end of God&#8217;s blessings. It&#8217;s said that we&#8217;re blessed to bless. And\u00a0more true is we&#8217;re part of bigger thing, that is God\u00a0Himself and His unchanging plan.<\/p>\n<p>So yah&#8230;US trip..i thank God for such\u00a0a thing. I still need few more things. Perhaps they will come tonite?<\/p>\n<p>Looking forward for a fruitful holiday&#8230;meeting friend and my sister. Having fun and refreshed&#8230; What&#8217;s the end o Lord? Only God knows.\u00a0How clay would be at the end?
