fuah...
Didn't sleep for a whole night, spent 5 hours plus to scan 200 plus of pages. I have no idea i can be so industrious o_O
Thanks to the hours spent at PERKOBP doing sealing and packaging, it really did train my patience and perseverance in doing mechanical robotic jobs (all those senseless repetitive motions, no wonder factory workers at production line really like staring at the clock, eagerly waiting for an off time...)
Mom dad, thanks for the new HP Deskjet F4185 All-in-one printer! ^_^
(not that there's much choice, the old canon printer is really dying :P)

social loafing
I'm presently (and temporarily) a social loafer for my group class assignments. Please kick me hard help me move, and please do it out of love as a friend, not out of contempt neither simply for the sake of the assignments! The least you can do is pray for me and let me know that you are. Thank you dear ones.
The Wounds Of A Friend

READ: 2 Samuel 12:1-13 Faithful are the wounds of a friend. —Proverbs 27:6
Not everyone appreciates correction, but David did. He felt indebted to those who corrected him and realized how much he owed them. “Let the righteous strike me; it shall be a kindness. Let him rebuke me; it shall be as excellent oil; let my head not refuse it” (Ps. 141:5).
Correction is a kindness, David insists, a word that suggests an act of loyalty. Loyal friends will correct one another, even when it’s painful and disruptive to relationships to do so. It’s one of the ways we show love and help one another to grow stronger. As Proverbs 27:6 states: “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.”
It takes grace to give godly correction; it takes greater grace to receive it. Unlike David, who accepted Nathan’s correction (2 Sam. 12:13), we’re inclined to refuse it. We resent the interference; we do not want to be found out. But if we accept the reproof, we will find that it does indeed become “excellent oil” on our heads, an anointing that makes our lives a sweet aroma wherever we go.
Growth in grace sometimes comes through the kind but unpleasant correction of a loyal friend. Do not refuse it, for “he who receives correction is prudent” (Prov. 15:5) and “wise” (9:8-9).
When others give us compliments,
They are so easy to believe;
And though it’s wise to take rebukes,
We find them harder to receive. —Sper
Correction from a loyal friend can help us change for the better.
