ISO was cool today, with the least digression out of all our group meetings. The thing that left me with the deepest impression's got to be how Vietnam is ambitious. How can any country eliminate illiteracy completely? Even Singapore isn't 100% literate, ha.

Lessons were okay. Lang arts as usual.. Moments of silence. I guess Mrs Ng can't be very much bothered by us anymore, because of our behaviour/attitude which I'm putting all the blame on the lack of motivation, fear of speaking up, over-dependency on those who always do. I'm guilty of that, definitely. I think I have alot of apologising to do. 'I am sorry' is a mere 3 words, and sometimes we don't realise how important they are, but the truth is, they are. In Mrs Ng's case, she just requests us to apologise for our mistakes. We (if not we, me) tend to hide our faults and all and to step out of it takes awhile.
Again, God'll guide us out of it if we ask 'cos He answers our prayers.
:D

(Here goes the longwinded bit.)
Thinking before speaking is something EVERYONE knows they need to do. Today, that was reinforced and emphasised by God through something very wrong I said/did.
My cousin, Isaac, was trying on to see how heavy my bag was 'cos I continuously repeated that it was chao zhong, so he took it off my back before I could put it down. I went into the kitchen to get water, and he came in shortly after saying "Jie, I threw your bag down on the floor and the umbrella dropped out..."
Before he could continue, I interfered, "Again! Do you like throwing people's things. No I mean my things around very much?"
I didn't think and wait for him to finish speaking. ("Stop talking and start listening") I wasn't listening, I just interrupted his sentence :/ But yes, he went on "But I put your umbrella back for you already." Man did I feel bad, but yes I suddenly felt God's presence and Him telling me how I need to learn to think clearly first, and listen to others.
A small, seemingly insignificant incident that teaches a big thing.

God teaches us new things everyday.
It's just another step to holiness.
