Just came back from the Clean & Green Carnival. I got backaches and foot-numbness after having a hard day.

There is this particular booth that contains pitcher plants. I fear and despise and get goosebumps when I see them. But when I was walking pass that booth, without realising its presence, the fruit of the pitcher plant brushed my head. At first I thought it was some kind of unharmful thing that brushed pass my hair. However, when I turned my head to look at it! I couldn't shriek(as I was in a public area), and I also wanted to pluck my hair(Hoping that a pitcher plant will not grow on my head)!

I got a strong disgust of plants since childhood, and often got nightmares related to plants(that will move!). I still didn't understand why do I have such fear, especially those plants that are carnivorous, an example that is the pitcher plant. I wonder how to get rid of this obstacle in my life!!!

Many children came to our booth to get involved in the games and environmental-message-making(EMM- A short-form created by myself) . Remember the humongous leaf(from now call it THE LEAF) that I brought to the booth yesterday? It was meant for the EMM, and many primary school kids became engaged with the markers and paper.

The effect when I hanged the messages from the edges of the leaf with pegs created the "streamers" effect. Maybe posting some pictures here to make you understand what I mean. All I could say, it looked beautiful.

Guess how I got the idea? After a heavy jog in the afternoon, I became all weak over. It was a Saturday then. As I was resting on my home sofa which is facing the balcony, I was thinking of how to complete the important role handed over to me. I was to exhausted to even think. How to invest lesser time but also make the EMM a good one? Hence I asked the Holy Spirit for ideas(I expected many ideas but He came up with only one) and He told me to use THE LEAF. I did argue with him(I knew I was bad!) and brought about many doubts that came along my mind, such as how to bring THE LEAF ,which was enormous, to Suntec, if I were to break my mother's beloved will she cry? Despite all these circumstances that I had thought over throughly, I chose to trust in Him. I plucked up courage and approached my mother. Maybe I sounded like I was cowardly(omg!), but she finally agreed with the approval of my father.

Therefore, the best condition when the Holy Spirit can talk to you is when you are at your weakest, in conclusion. So if you want to listen to God, not only you must be sensitive to his voice by being close to Him; you must also be weak inside-out(that is, be humble). You will find that being weak is the optimum condition in order to listen to God. :) So those of you that are weak don't hate the state you are in, because that is when the impossible becomes possible.

By the way, the humongous leaf that I am refering to is my mother's child. It was because of the great trust she put in me that she finally gave in to me and said that I shall be responsible if the leaf doesn't come back in one piece. However, I felt abit regretful, as I did not tell her that the pegs and the messages are going to be torturing THE LEAF!

Most surprising of all, Mrs Phillip and Mdm Koh wanted to buy THE LEAF from me for $50! Hope there is still stock for THE LEAF in IKEA to pay my mother back her jewel.

Might be posting THE LEAF's pictures tomorrow. Considering...
