on being blessed with abundance yesterday's morning...

Yea, He was good to me yesterday, when I didn't expect it. People showering with small gestures of kindness. Must give thanks ah, to glorify my Abba Father:

1) Free breakfast! :D Early in the morning, was treated to a scrumptious nasi lemak meal by my colleague. She called our department and was taking orders for breakfast*. I was craving for the deep-fried chicken wing as well as the super-shiok chilli of that particular Malay stall, so I ordered one person's portion. When she came over to deliver, she mentioned it was "gratis, on her" when I offered to pay.

*Kar-ching*~ Savings of $2.50 on my yesterday's daily expenses! Thank you, Abba! 

2) Free tea-break! Another colleague brought back some snacks from her China trip - it was the peanuts coated with caramel block. Very the nice~ As I was in meeting, didn't get to thank her personally. Finished the whole block** and MSN-ed her my thanks~

*Kar-ching*~ Another savings of $0.50 on my yesterday's daily expenses! Thank you, Abba!

3) Usually we get to leave office 30mins earlier on Friday's evenings. So I rushed out "zhun zhun", as I was anxious to not get stuck in the human rush for the buses at the bus-stop. As I waited for my kaki to go home, she called me back and said we could get a lift from another colleague^! Was really glad as I had to go meet my 2 other friends at Choa Chu Kang - the ride home not only shaved off a bit on the bus-fares , but also precious minutes of the travelling time!

*Kar-ching*~ Saved money and time! Thank you, Abba!

4) Met up with my 2 kakis from secondary school days. Had a good time catching up with one another over "kopi" and playing arcade games - yesh, the kind of friendships where you don't have to talk a lot and yet enjoy each others' company^^. After a good game, my friend offered to drive us home~ And my other friend offered to pass me some rechargeable batteries for my new toy. Woo hoo! Not only blessed by my friends' generosity, but also their gesture of love.

Thank you, Elohim and Jehovah-jireh, for seeing my needs and providing them, and sending angels in the form of people around me. Really felt like a sparrow yesterday...

*Common office culture bah, for those offices that start work at 8.30am sharp. We usually spend the first 30mins of our office hours doing staff devotions and praying for one another. That's why most of us chose to go to canteen and buy breakfast after that. Fill our spiritual stomachs first, then our physical ones ah... 

** For some reason, was very hungry despite the full breakfast and lunch. Guessed it was the cold morning weather cum long-meetings - no, we don't provide donuts like in those Dilbertian meetings...

 

^ Usually won't get to take this colleague's car, as it's always in "hot demand". We call it our office "school-bus" service :D Am really blessed whenever I take her car, cos not only saved time and money, but get to "talk-cock-sing-song" with the company aboard the car. Fellowship more important ah :D

^^ or what commonly termed as the ministry of presence, being present to the people you spent time with.
