would you pay...

20 cents for a plastic bag?

It takes awhile to adapt to the 'Plastic-bag-free Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday' policy in Penang (especially for those who do not live in Penang), but I must say that residents of Penang (both Penangites and Non-Penangites) seems to have adapted quite well to this policy, and thus, the success from the 3 days have probably resulted to a bold decision of extending the policy to 'Plastic-bag-free DAILY' come January 1st, 2011.

I didn't know that KFC restaurants in Penang also support the plastic-bag-free policy and I ended up carrying the box of fried chicken without a plastic bag. Do they observe no plastic bags just on Tuesdays? or is it for the entire 3 days? Is it just the KFC restaurant at Jalan Sungai Dua, or it includes all KFC branches in Penang? Hmm... I forgot to ask.... oh well...

So what if the whole neighbourhood knows I'm having KFC for dinner... :)

times like this...

I really need to focus on the right things...

a friend shared this poem on fb...and it encouraged me a lot as i prepare to go into 'battle' next week...

__________________________________________________________________

In Jesus' name I pray,

In Him my heart I lay.

He keeps me strong day by day,

He the Potter, I the clay.

I bow my head and close my eyes,

Shutting out distractions that entice.

I can depend on Him for endless advice,

For I know his love for me ain't no game of dice.

I see Your glory, way brighter than the sun,

Empowering your sacrifice heavier than a ton.

Thank you Lord for all You've done,

In sending me Your precious Son.

He calms my soul and gives me peace,

He takes away all stress, I feel at ease.

For in the end I know at least,

He's waiting for me at Heaven's feast.

where does my help come from...

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

¹ I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?

² My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

³ He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

⁴ indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵ The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

⁶ the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

⁷ The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

⁸ the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
