When you are in danger, what would you think about?
Today, my car got out of control as I tried to merge from Stoney onto Symons Valley Road, since I stepped on my break a little too hard. It started zigzagging. Within a few seconds, these things came in my mind:
1. 神啊!死火! (God, oh no!)
2. I gotta switch my gear to neutral. (And I did it.)
3. If my car slid to the right, it would go off the side and I wouldn't be able to get back up without a tow truck.
4. If my car slid to the left, I would crash into (or be crashed by) the cars on Stoney.
5. If my car kept zigzagging in the middle area (the so-called "safety-zone"), my car would go into the exit pole.
6. I AM NOT READY TO GO TO HEAVEN YET!
After these thoughts, my car spun out, and I finally screamed, " 神啊! (OH LORD!)" The moment after my exclamation, my car stopped. Where did my car end up? Oh, just somewhere in the safety zone. I was far from the exit pole. No harm done. I just switched my gear back to drive and steered the car to the right direction again. I arrived at my workplace 1/2 hour early.
When I said, "I am not ready to go to heaven yet!" I mean it wholeheartedly. Seriously, if someone asks me if I am ready to go to heaven in the next second or the next day or a few months down the row, I'd still give the same answer. Can't foretell my thoughts in a few years though. I know being in Heaven and seeing God face-to-face is a wonderful thing, and I love God. But, I do love my life, and I do want to live it to the greatest potential before I see the Lord. There are still many things I want to accomplish (for God, for myself and for others, whether I know them or not). Anyways, God knows my desires and I'm certain He will satisfy them as long as I seek Him first.
Praise the Lord that:
1. I am safe and sound.
2. I am a calm person and am able to keep things under control.
Nevertheless, I hope everyone would drive with caution in this terrible weather. Don't forget to pray for safety!

Irony
I sometimes find life ironic. When you have a hectic work schedule, you would wish to be less busy. And for those people who have jobs that pay by the hour (such as mine), you are worried about your income when you don't get to work as much. Either way, I still have to watch my expenses carefully. :-P

Dysfunctional Brain
Lately, my life is full of teaching (and a little bit of A&W and socializing). I hardly have any leftover energy to write music when I get home. There are a few words I have yet to find for the song I've been working on for the past month. Can these words just ... come? Please?
