Why is my picture so big?
How do I make it smaller, more discreet?

Update at 6.20pm: Done. Realised I've uploaded the picture to the wrong place.

No Right to Ask
We have no right to ask God
to give us a special revelation of His will
where either the light of our own common sense
or the teaching of Scripture has already
made the matter sufficiently plain.
--A. B. Simpson
Some people already know, yet they still want to ask. They are not really interested in knowing. They are just testing the limits, to see how far they can go without going over to the dark side.
Indulgence
Yesterday I totally lost control.
I splurged on an expensive DKNY handbag. It's the most expensive handbag I've ever owned so for ROI reasons it'll have to last me at least five years.
It's so nice and I rationalised that I have to indulge now before I get too old and have no choice but to settle for "auntie" handbags.
Hubby commented on the price and that it exudes "form more than function." Nevertheless his conclusion was that it's "sui." So it's a good choice.
Thanks, darling, for the birthday present and for the indulging me.
I tell you, God has a sense of humour.
The timing is so appropriate 'cos
this week we are studying self-control
in our Fruit of the Spirit Bible Study.

At the Rotary Club Installation Dinner
We were invited to the 78th Installation Dinner of the Penang Rotary Club on 15 August 2009.
I like this picture of us. It is one of the rare times when hubby dons a suit and my hair behaved!

Long Lost Favourite Food
Last week I found a long lost favourite food at the economy rice stall.
Crunchy big headed taugeh
I remember my mom cooking this and sometimes in a soup as well.
Thinking of long lost favourite foods reminded me of a flower soup that my mom used to cook. The flowers yellowish-green and tiny, about a centimetre in size. I don't think she bought them from the market. She probably picked them from the garden.
Does anyone know anything about this flower soup? I remember it being delicious but that could be just the novelty of it being a flower soup.

Wrong Movie
We had Sisters Nite Out last night. Girly movie was on the agenda and so we decided to watch "The Proposal." This movie was highly recommended by 'bee.
After the trailers, the movie started and an astronaut appeared. Are there astronauts in "The Proposal"? Something wrong here.
After a while the title of the movie appeared - "Land of the Lost"! What is happening?
First thought, did I purchase tickets for the wrong movie? Checked the tickets. No mistake there.
Second possibility, are we in the wrong hall? No need to check. People were saying "they are showing the wrong movie" and some proactive ones were already on their way to inform the person(s) in charge.
The screen went dark and after that "The Proposal" came on.
BTW, we wore masks during the movie. We were the only ones.
We are very kiasi. Don't know who is sitting beside us. FYI the infected person is infectious 24hours before onset of symptoms. So don't play play.

By the way, I have experienced buying tickets for a wrong movie.
Many, many years ago, hubby and I went for a movie.
When the movie started, we were puzzled to find on-screen
something totally different from the movie we wanted to watch.
Initially we thought that it was a trailer because there was no title
to indicate otherwise. Then, we found the language to be too offensive
for our sensibilities. When the subtitles appeared, our suspicion
that we were at the wrong movie was confirmed.
So we beat a hasty exit from the cinema because
it would only be a waste of time and money to sit through
such a C or even D grade movie.
Later we found out that the movie we actually wanted to watch
was only scheduled to start the day after. What a boo boo!
Okay, back to yesterday's tale.

Exposé
The remarks made by friends when they meet you after 34 years reveal a lot about what you were "famous" for in school.
Yup, I was well-known for fainting whenever it gets too hot - on sports day, during Physical Exercise class and even while cooking over a hot stove during Domestic Science class. By the way, it's the real thing, no bluffing.
I confess that I had a voracious for romance story books. I would stay up half the night just to complete a book and I even resorted to putting the book behind my text-book, or under the desk, in order to continue reading while the class was on.
Those were the days.
"You are the one who always faint!"
