` hot water youre my best friend

was suppose to blog a while ago , but was completley lazy and forgot!!! boo me..

anyway, today i totally realise how important it is to have HOT water to shower...
today the gas and the hot water decided that it would not work! yes , strangely enough our gas and hot water are linked, and the crappy useless gas company forgot to come and fill the gas tank up!!!! talk about unreliability, sigh... so there i was waiting to cook dinner and trying to turn the stove on, but to no avail. then there was no hot water, i was mildy tempted to drive to my parent's place for some hot water on my cold skin, but i couldnt be bothered to drive the 15-20 mins there and back, that would've been a good 40 minutes for a round trip!

so i decided to be brave, and go for a cold shower in this freezing weaather.... i grabbed the heater, and jumped into the shower, it took a while to acutally get soaping, shampooing, cos it was just SOOOO Cold.. i jumped around continously inside, so that i woudln't feel cold, it was so cold i tell you so cold until at the end i dint know if i was hot or humb, cos i coudlnt feel anyhting... i washed my hair, soaped, and made it out of there alive haha... even in summer i dont even shower wit freezing water, yet alone that we are approaching winter.... oh anyway i feel cleaner, and WARM now..

so after tonight, i really really appreciate hot water - its the simple things in life that keep us happy. and water is one of them. water, toilet paper and tissue paper. they're my godsends'.

on a separate note, i wanted to blog about my small car incident that happened last thursday in good old sunnybank plaza.. my poor old chad yaris toyota silver was crashed into!!! :( POOR THHING.... but anyyway it wasnt a bad crash at all, i was just in the car park looking for a car park (i mean wat else could u do in car parks anyway?) , and suddendly this car backs out of her car space.... and im thinking "dude, did u see me"?

anyway so i continue to stare at her car, and then i was like DUDE CANT U SEE ME?? so i like horned at this car to stop!!! BUT this car did not stop! instead the next thing i heard was a loud bang on the front of my car door........... oh boy, fury shot right through me , fury and shock! i was like oh no :( my beloved car :( Not the carrr.... then she got out and she also was kinda shocked and was saying "oh i m sorry, i didnt see you" i was thinking to my self , ARE U BLIND LADY? I WAS RIGHT BEHIND YOU.....

but indeed i restrained myslef... anyway she was very apologetic and kept sayig sorry, and then we just took down numbers and stuff and went on our merry ways.. i went to meet mel for lunch and told her all about it,then she suggested i rang my insurnace asap.. so that is what i did.... i rang, and they asked many ridiculous questions but i tink they were all pretty mandatory...

so i spent a good 20 minutes on the phone with them explaining all that had happened,
and some funny questions they asked were:

"did any animals get hurt"

anyway, i forgotton, but alot of weird questions that i was like errr No to.. anyway there are just a few dents and scratches, apart from that its all good. the hassle is goin to get it fixed.. i will be carless for 3 or 4 days :(

anyway, i think God taught me alot from this incident as i shared in my life group last week... Sometimes i felt that I hold on to the things of this world too tightly ie: my car, my computer, or whatever it may be, that when somethig happnes to them, we just couldn't function anymore, or we'd be so pissed, so mad, and just agro at the world............ but after this i learnt to let go of the love for my car... i do, i admit love my car alot, its such a good car to me, brought me to many places... but I know GOd is saying, dont hold on to such temporal things of this world, but hold on to those eternal things... - God i agree wit you! i will try and learn to!!

but no matter what, every time i drive i always ask for protection and covering upon my self and my car.. i beleive detailed prayers are ones that work! and He is Faithful.. he has kept me safe from all sorts of accidents out there.. There have been many many times where i could've had car accidents but because of His Protection.. well he protected me. as careful a driver as i may be, wreckless drivers are everywhre on the roads, and we have no control over them at all.
i really pray that people will become more resonsibile drivers, looknig out for the welfare of other drivers, to not speed, and to not cause road rage........

it is so important to pray for protection and covering when driving. Driving is a risk, when we get into that car, we are kinda like risking our lifes, cos we really dont know what could happen.

but our God is great; and His protection is upon us always.
