What are your happy moments?

Happiness is:

- Looking out every morning to see how concrete slabs are being transformed into green oases surrounding the Esplanade, from the aircon comfort of a guaranteed seat in a private bus. 

- Seeing the Marina Bay Sands hotel every morning and remembering that it was Stephen Wiltshire's favourite landmark in his Singapore cityscape drawing.

- Waving to the neighbour of the lady C who takes the same private transport service as me as he crosses the road to take bus 972 every morning. Lady C told me that he is a marathoner and travels to run overseas. I would never have guessed it from the way he looks. Respect.

- A ministry-focused prayer session that ended half an hour earlier than the usual supervision session. I think I smiled too broadly at the end of the closing prayer. Then words floated over, "you pontan Monday meeting hor?" Guilty as charged.  

- A Restaurant Week lunch at Napoleon where service was impeccable and the food sumptuous.
- Having my ministry mates pray for my needs even as we prayed for others and the ministry. Such assurance of protection and covering over me. Prayed for two people on the prayer bulletin. Privileged and humbled. 

- Seeing a yellow butterfly land on a potted plant outside the Fullerton Bay Hotel this morning.
