THE AGONY DELIGHTFULNESS OF BEING HAPPY.
There is logic in that, factually. Sometimes, when you feel too happy, you suddenly think, "Oh no, what if i turn sulky after that? Then bad things and challenges will come against me. Oh no..." Wait! You all won't say that! No it would be like this - "Eh walaaaaaaao, surely later will become emo one if too happy. Alamak, then how?"
THEN HOW YOU SAY.
"Tune into God, no batteries required." I remember this line from an IJ song i heard during EMDD. It was pretty funny because it sounded like a radio station, a television advertisment and a talking remote control. Well, that's right! Let's all seek the presence of God whenever obstacles stop in our paths! Let's allow Him to take over what we're facing and let Him handle it! As in Luke 1:37, for with God nothing will be impossible! Shout His praise! You can be happy and sad everyday every second with God by your side! For He is your fortress and your shield!
I just want to share this incident with you all. This was when Ria, Nicola, Sophia and I were walking to the bubble tea shop after school. While we walking there, this auntie suddenly approached us. She looked rather well-off with simple dressing and a Bonia spectacles. She asked us a friendly smile and asked if we wanted to buy the things that she was selling. She told us that she was helping this old woman sell her shop's leftover stock.
At first, we were quite shock what to say. We remembered another incident that the tcher announced in school about a con man asking for money from school students because he allergdly said that he lost his wallet. So we knew beforehand that we weren't going to be tricked by this seemingly innocent old lady. She showed all her selling items which looked like second-hand items and she sold it at a very high price. She kept on persisting for us to buy the items, even saying to 'share' the cost to get a 'present' for a friend. To make it clear, it's not that i'm mean or selfish or anything, it's just that how can you go up to someone, claiming that you're just helping an old auntie, to sell such things. The reason why i feel that she's conning people with how she speaks us, was because when we asked us to go for our carnival to sell her items, she said, "No no it's okay." Not only that, she kept commenting how we were being so selfish and acting ' pitiful' in a way wasn't usually what sales people would do. After saying that it wasn't convenient for us to buy the things, and saying we were in rush, two girls walked past and then she immediately approached her. We quickly walked to the bubble tea shop without looking back.
These type of people should have some dignity in themselves to know that it's actually wrong to con people of their money. What? Get easy money? Hey, open your eyes and see how actually people actually worked to get what they have. Without a license, or not even telling where or what the shop is, she simply asks us to buy it and she nearly forced us too. Fortunately, this type can be easily turned down and walked away. Oh i just really hope that i won't bump into these type of people again, or i would really call the police.
Anyway, went to Nicola's house to paint the banner for Family Day. Can't wait!
