A tinge of sweetness

'Pig' has strangely become the most common used vocab by my sis to me in any occasion, any time, with a whole possible range of meanings i gave up figuring when she means what.

Me: I ate chicken whopper meal today. They changed the name to grilled chicken meal.
Sis: Pig.

Me: hello...
Sis: you sleeping ar?
Me: yeah..
Sis: Pig.

The Pictionary mystery is finally solved! For over 24 hours, this house's Pictionary went missing. Persons involved were me, sis and wei xiong. Suspects were few. I racked my brains and scrolled through my phone book trying to recall any incident of carrying that blue box and handing it over to anyone. Before Pictionary was recovered, sis and wei xiong came barging in to the purple room -

Sis: I remember you asked wei xiong to faster bring the pictionary back so you could lend it to someone.
Me thinking: No i didn't. The only time i used it was when i played it with the gang at home.
Wei xiong: Yeah, you did.
Me thinking: Well, hmm, maybe i did. But the only suspect i can think of said she didn't borrow it. Let me rack my brains again and dig up a probably buried with cobwebs piece of information.

One can really imagine things that didn't happen. Truth is, after a complete search in the Sister's hideout, we found Pictionary in a huge box that originally kept flowers under my her bed. Culprit: Mums. She stored some other stuff and Pictionary in the box, probably while cleaning the hideout. So my main point is, even though i started out insistent and totally sure i didn't lend it to anybody, my sis convinced herself and wei xiong that such a scene took place, and in turn caused me to imagine it too and almost believing it!

Same with words. Re-enlightened by Wayne-talk today on the power of self talk - how we can convince ourselves about almost anything if we tried hard enough. It all started when he commented he likes to eat man2 tou3. Patrick said it is blend. I said but if you think hard enough, a tinge of sweetness will surface. So in anything, we can actually convince ourselves of something that is not true. Even though how much we may believe what we have told ourselves, the truth is not! So knowing the truth is essential and empowering. Like, knowing that God loves me. Even when dire situations may scream otherwise, but the truth is God loves each and every one of us! *sings: Red and yellow black and white, all are precious in His sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world.

Matthew 7:11 "So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask Him."
