let her rant.

i just did a stupid stupid thing.

i've signed myself on to blogger beta.

do you think the blogger staff will see this post and then ban me from using blogger forever and ever cos i said i just did a stupid stupid thing? :/

*paranoia*

no, seriously, i feel silly because it was only after the conversion that i realised i can't leave comments on non-beta blogs. so silly right? how can you make a supposedly better version of something and then not allow it to leave comments on a "lesser" version? and i can't revert back to the normal non-beta version cos blogger says so - and why that is so i have no answer...

uh...does this mean non-beta users cannot leave comments on my blog too...??!?!

so...dear smart smart blogger friends who have not beta-ed yourselves, please try leaving me a comment.

aiyah. where's the logic in technological?

and now, i want to show off my superb culinary skills.

i present...

maggi avec le thon et le chou

and in order to attain that exquisite cookbook status photo shot, i even took out a new set of chopsticks to achieve that unmistakable subtly-striking red-green contrast. *huh?*

for cg today, i got everyone to present their sharing through drawing. haha getting artistic we are...

the sharing could be about something interesting that happened during the week or something that we wanted to give thanks to God for. after drawing, we had to guess what the others were trying to say. and i've discovered we're really quite gifted at stick figures.

but beyond the stick figures, i really love your creativity guys and gurls! i love your simple expressions of genuinity!

here's one i really like.

this picture is a depiction of deep deep desperation...if i may put it that way (:

and as we had a good laugh over mervin's very-out-of-proportion sketch, i was hit by the depth of meaning the picture conveyed.

the hands represent prayer. and it reminds me of how God is our ever-faithful Keeper who hears us when we call out to Him, and how He is our ever-present help in time of need.

no matter how big we think we've messed things up and how impossible the situation seems, He comes beside to help and to restore.

and, God is bigger than all we can imagine.

mervin knows that (:

God of miracles,

oh that i may constantly lift up 'out-of-proportion' hands of prayer and a desperate heart of faith to You.
