haha. was thinking about a few things i like on the way home after mentoring with nadia and vina just now. one of the many is that i like to watch tv with my brother. also, i like to help him to buy dinner because he pays for my dinner (and milk tea) too. and he will give me money if i ask. and blah.. :P
then when i was unlocking the door, i saw my dad and i greeted "papa :)". then i saw my brother looking from the kitchen i "uhm chio" (laughed secretly to myself) and greeted "korkor :)". haha. he was like surprised that i called him that and said that it's been a long time i called him in that way. i uhm chio again and said "shi meh?" (oh really?) haha.
but true enough, it's been quite a long while since i have greeted my brother and not on a regularly basis for my parents and ah mah and once in a blue moon for my sister. ooooh. :(
hai yo. must remind myself to do it on daily basis, ya? no matter how tired i may be.
;)
(New International Version)
1 To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
2 in you I trust, O my God.
Do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.
3 No one whose hope is in you
will ever be put to shame,
but they will be put to shame
who are treacherous without excuse.
4 Show me your ways, O LORD,
teach me your paths;
5 guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.
6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.
7 Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you are good, O LORD.
8 Good and upright is the LORD;
therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.
9 He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.
10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
for those who keep the demands of his covenant.
11 For the sake of your name, O LORD,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.
12 Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD ?
He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.
13 He will spend his days in prosperity,
and his descendants will inherit the land.
14 The LORD confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them.
15 My eyes are ever on the LORD,
for only he will release my feet from the snare.
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.
17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied;
free me from my anguish.
18 Look upon my affliction and my distress
and take away all my sins.
19 See how my enemies have increased
and how fiercely they hate me!
20 Guard my life and rescue me;
let me not be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.
21 May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope is in you.
22 Redeem Israel, O God,
from all their troubles!
Amen.

meaning caused by the reflection and refraction of sunlight by droplets of rain, a rainbow often
appears after the passing of a thunderstorm, marking its end. The bow is coloured by the division of sunlight into its primary colours. The rainbow is served to remind Israel and her God of His convenant with Noah to never again destroy the earth by flooding (Genesis 9:8-17).
[Holman Illustrated Pocket Bible Dictionary]
(New Living Translation)
8 Then God told Noah and his sons, 9 “I hereby confirm my covenant with you and your descendants, 10 and with all the animals that were on the boat with you—the birds, the livestock, and all the wild animals—every living creature on earth. 11 Yes, I am confirming my covenant with you. Never again will floodwaters kill all living creatures; never again will a flood destroy the earth.”
12 Then God said, “I am giving you a sign of my covenant with you and with all living creatures, for all generations to come. 13 I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my covenant with you and with all the earth. 14 When I send clouds over the earth, the rainbow will appear in the clouds, 15 and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life. 16 When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth.” 17 Then God said to Noah, “Yes, this rainbow is the sign of the covenant I am confirming with all the creatures on earth.”
