raindrops keep falling on my head

Raindrops keep fallin’ on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turnin’ red
Cryin’s not for me
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by complainin’
Because I’m free
Nothin’s worryin’ me

what can be better than rain pouring down outside the window while you are snuggedly buried under the duvet, watching the latest episode of gossip girl with a cup of steaming hot milo in hand, knowing that there’s nth else you need to be doing?

not much more.

pardon me for the erratic blogging, just got back from kl and cambodia. so didn’t have internet.

kl was as usual, tiring, hectic, but fun.

and cambodia you say? well, despite popular belief (thanks to the biggest mouth i know, a certain penangite XD) i didn’t carry a knife around, okay?

it was a really interesting trip, i’m not going to be all cliched and say things like it was life changing and i will never be the same again, but the whole 2 weeks that i was there, did change me and really opened up my eyes/heart to things.

just look at how adorable this boy is. and how intentedly he is paying attention.

and this two were so cute and funny, they started chasing us on the pony cart and then when they finally reached us, if you come near them, they’d run away. or maybe its just cos wy looks too scary.

and they can be real posers too =)

spot the non-cambodian! anyways, see the crowd of kids? all waiting to be ‘flown’. its amazing how little things like that make them so happy and excited! and they keep coming back for more.

and they really love the balloons! i had fun making them into random shapes. well, technically, only two shapes since i can only do dog and sword.

children at the fishing village.. playing with bugs.

basically in the past two weeks, i’ve done things i would have never done, sat on forms of transportation that i would normally only take pictures with, experienced things that i never thought i could and received so much in return.

i’ve learnt that God is completely in control of my life, and no matter how much i try to prepare and anticipate what is to come (yes, a lesson to be learnt from lehmann brothers!) God controls my life, and He knows what is best for me.

i’ve learnt that i should surrender things to Him, and just trust in Him, that He will pull me through anything He takes me to.

i’ve learnt that there are too many things in life that i take for granted. seeing the children there being so happy with the minimal things they have makes me want to count my blessings and just give thanks for everything i have. simple things like clean water and proper clothes to good family and the chance at a proper education.

i’ve learnt that we are not all that awesome and we sometimes just need to ‘lower’ ourselves from the throne our minds put us in. (of course some thrones are higher and grander than others, but yeah, you get the drift)

i’ve learnt that everyone is special in God’s sight. you could be a malnourished, skinny Cambodian child or royalty with too much money to be counted, but God loves us all! every single one of us.

i’ve learnt how to ’serve’ others, just as Jesus did.

i’ve learnt compassion and how to love and care for ’strangers’, just like Paul.

i’ve learnt that i need to humble myself.

i’ve really learnt.

i’m obviously far from perfect, but i’m learning.

and just like to song raindrops keep falling on my head, problems may come, my life may seem like utter crap, but to quote, ‘nothin’s worrying me’ – my life is in His hands =)
