I've decided that I should start my routine of healthy cereals just like how I am in back in SG. Morning perks with cereals, dried bananas, almonds & yummy grapes raisins from Corbin. ^_^ 

Time flies, and I'm already in the midpoint of internship, half enjoying and half missing my hometown quite a fair bit. I'm now on path to my fourth stop now, which is stewarding. 

Stewarding, what are my colleagues reaction when I put on my stewarding uniform? Some were shocked, some laughed, some stuttered. But I guess the first lesson that I have learnt from stewarding today was to humble myself down, to put down all my pride and start scrubbing every pot, plates, cutleries, the floor and every dirt on the machine, being an inch apart from the dirty and smelly bin and having to scald myself on the hot water bath used to soak pots and pans. I've heard of many stories on how other colleagues are treating those stewarding aunties even before I stepped into stewarding, that my heart ached for them with a simple need to use my own strength which God provides to help them as much as I could.  

Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 

Definitely, God has prepared many lessons in store for me right here in Hangzhou, from the very first stop of learning independence, appreciating what God has provided for me, pushing me out of my comfort zone, self-discipline and even financial responsibility. To be honest and truthful, life has been hard for me without someone being able to keep me accountable on my trip here. I felt like I have failed in self-discipline. I didn't mean I took up smoking or drank too much beer or whatever, but self-discipline in a way of not spending my time with God wisely and faithfully. But how faithful is God, during my dark times showed me how He had never left me alone here which really allowed me to experience the kind of growth that I could never ever learn if I am back in sg. I expected myself to reach out to others here before internship, but I guess I got to focus my eyes on the real stuff God has in stored for me, which is growth.
