Shopping with Mother

Yes! I went shopping with my mother to buy me a dress, shoes and shawl for my graduation in JS. YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT!!??

Okay. Just joking around.

Yes, indeed, it is true I went out with my dear mother to shop for myself a new knee-length dress, shoes that match and a shawl that doesn't spoil the whole matched outfit. It was absolutely a splendid experience and time. We went to JJ Aeon Bukit Tinggi mall and spent nearly 3 hours shopping for just those items. 

Before we left from home, I prayed. I even started praying when I was told that we girls need to wear dress. In my whole life, I only owned 5 dresses. 3 when I was pre-school and below and 2 between the ages of 7-12. Since 11 years old, I have not owned any dress. So you can get the idea on how I feel when I wanted to get a dress. I didn't know the basics of shopping for a dress. Okay, so we got the dress first. We went searching the whole mall until we came to a special boutique called Cruz. There was only one dress which is knee-length and it fitted me perfectly. It was definitely God answering my prayer. It's purple some more. Double blessing. 

We then got the shawl from Brands Outlet. And the shoes!! I tell you I hate shoe shopping because I can hardly get my size!! But all glory to God I now own my first high heels shoes! They are called wedges and it fitted me 'ngam ngam hou'! And I don't feel awkward walking in them and I especially don't feel extra tall. Hehe... At first my mum and I were considering flat shoes but they look quite ugly on me cause my right foot is bigger than my left foot and my right toe lines could be seen while my left one was totally covered. Really sad... Until I found those wedges. 

Praise God my mum was so generous. After a very long time, she finally started using her credit card on me. *sniff *sniff. I was extremely touched. Tried not to cry by reasoning in my mind. She promised to give me RM50 for every A I got for PMR. So that's all settled. But my inner being can't think that way. She has worked hard for the money and CNY is coming up. Papa really has to start giving me the allowance he owes me. He has given Zan 3 times more than me. Twice when I was away in JS! *grumbles

Anyway, today was really fruitful. I did my quiet time before breakfast and actually held to "No Bible, No Breakfast" principle. I must now do my quiet time. Hmm... I'm having this tiny desire to start a private blog to do my journaling. Maybe I should. 

I'm gonna renovate this blog some time this week and start writing in a different pattern. It's time for a real make-over! 

Thank you Lord for this day
Your abundant grace and blessings I felt today
I did not waste my time unwisely
You granted me that request I made this morning
O Lord how loving You are to me
I can't thank You enough for every kind deed
I received from You, my Daddy in Heaven
I bless Your name and confess widely open
YOU ARE MY GOD, SAVIOUR AND FRIEND!!
AMEN!
