I was planning to just clean my room the whole day, but...well...with me, usually things don't go well with my plans. I did clean up my desk a little, but that's about it. Got called out to lunch with Chen Jie, later came to my place for Scrabble, foosball and table tennis. I find it so hard to talk about serious stuffs with guys... Slept for a short while only to be woken up by an annoying credit card telemarketer. The evening was wasted, basically.

My stack of reading materials is getting higher and higher... Found a series of 130 sermons on the book of Hebrews on the net today, and that added to the reading list... Sigh...I just hope and pray that these readings will actually make a difference in my life, God willing.

I'm grateful to God for...

• teaching me the balance between theology and compassion, and having a right heart;
• this time spent connecting with Chen Jie;
• Samuel's email, giving me a slight ray of hope;
• a slightly cleaner environment in my room; and
• keeping temptations away from me today.
