almost a lefty

my chiro asked for the third time whether i'm a right or left handed. he thought that if he were to be in a pub, and someone was ready to hand in a hundred dollar note, he would have guessed that i'm a lefty. he wasn't entirely wrong. as a matter of fact, my left hand is quite cooperative in term of doing stuffs that don't require much precision. things like brushing my teeth, washing, scrubbing, using a mouse, writing on a board, ironing, carrying my bag on the left shoulder, playing badminton (possibly), holding my spoon (chopsticks are still challenging), etc.

i started using my left hand more since my right hand was suffering from repetitive strain injury at some point as a result of using a mouse.

Bonhoeffer on Discipleship and the Individual

"We are separated from one another by an unbridgeable gulf of otherness and strangeness which resists all our attempts to overcome it by means of natural association or emotional or spiritual union. There is no way from one person to another. However loving and symphatetic we try to be, however sound our psychology, however frank and open our behaviour, we cannot penetrate the incognito of the other man, for there are no direct relationships, not even between soul and soul. Christ stands between us, and we can only get into touch with our neighbours through him. That is why intercession is the most promising way to reach our neighbours, and corporate prayer, offered in the name of Christ, the purest form of fellowship."

Dietrich Bonhoeffer - The Cost of Discipleship, pg. 51

we meet again

the prayer meeting resumes today. it's refreshing to take an hour break to meet like-minded cns, share what's been happening at the workplace, and pray for one another. what a blessing to be surrounded by cns who have the Lord as their master!

(in contrast to many times annoying colleague, it's an antidote).

just

i just did something stupid. i placed an unstamped envelope into a post office box. the thing is i am not quite sure what they are doing to those letters that aren't properly posted. it has my CC details inside. moreover, i don't want my foster child not receiving a gift just because the response form doesn't reach worldvision (argh!).

btw, soy milk doesn't mix with tea. they taste no good. this too, is a bit (..stupid, i must say). will probably try rice milk with tea next time.

what's the other word for stupid? (it sounds so stupid, negative i mean, though when something is stupid, you have no choice but to call it ..stupid?!).
