I received this in my email today.
An angel says, "Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice."
1. Pray.
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say NO to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let
go of the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time
to go to bed to try to pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favourite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you, Jesus."
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
31. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
32. Sit on your ego.
33. Talk less; listen more.
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. God
has a way of turning things around for you.

Silence...I keel you!
I have been watching Jeff Dunham and his characters on Youtube over and over since Sunday, and I have decided that my favourite character is Achmed the Dead Terrorist, ha ha!
Enjoy Achmed's antics...
It's not Christmas yet, but here's Achmed singing "Jingle Bombs"...
Hehe.
Oklah...Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin. :D

Fun weekend!
The weekend started with a concert by SASS Chords of Hope Choir and Orchestra concert. They have improved a lot since their new music instructor, Ruth Millard, arrived two weeks ago. Two weeks of intensive practice, and already they're sounding really good, I can't wait to hear what they sound like next year! I'm proud to say that I'm a fan now. Hehe :D
The next day was good too. I enjoyed the "Down Memory Lane" concert, seeing students of SASS back in the 1940s all the way up to the present being called to the front, some getting emotional, and others just being goofy with their long lost classmates/schoolmates. The scene was just awesome.
Sunday was a hot, hot day but I had fun nonetheless. Started the day by having mee sup for breakfast.
asadappp no moti tie..laid no gia aa nakaakan mee sup :)
Then I was off to the grandstand to enjoy some football matches. They were interesting although someone broke a leg in one of the matches. Sungguh kesiannn...
Then I noticed this jersey...guess who? Hehe!
Ended the day by playing volleyball - didn't plan on it but was pulled into it. Our team (Omong, Choco, Michele, Marsha, Tinah and myself) actually won the first game but lost the second and final games. Ha ha. Our team consisted of girls who haven't touched or played volleyball since our high school days (except for Omong, I guess) and we were playing against an all-boys team who probably play volleyball every day. Despite the sore arms and bruises, it was really fun! :D
Whew, what a weekend! The only thing is my batteries died on me so I couldn't capture the weekend in pictures, but I'm sure there'll be lots of pictures of the weekend available for viewing in FB sooner or later. :D
Looking forward to next year's alumni homecoming weekend!

The weekend...
SASS celebrates its 70th anniversary of existence this year! This weekend is one of the weekends that I have been waiting for, and finally it's here.
I'm sure I'll have a great weekend, I sure do hope that you will too!
A song to share...
"Let God's promises shine on your problems." ~Corrie Ten Boom
Be safe, people.

M.V. Doulos is back in Sabah
I love it when Doulos stops by KK - the books are wayyyyyy cheaper than those sold in, say, Salvation. The CDs are also cheap! Got a Mark Harris CD for only about RM6.70 (worth RM39.90 in Salvation!) at the buy-any-3-items-for-RM20 section. I also got a "Cook's Bible" and a book on baking for my Mom. I wanted to buy more but we were running out of time as the driver was in a hurry to go back.
Gotta find a time to go again soon before it sails away.
