Battery NOT included!!

Story of a gal and a battery in her wallet..

she looked through her wallet the other day... this battery still sits in the coin compartment of her wallet...why does she carry a battery you would say?

Two months ago, a gal full of dreams of expectations had splurged all her money on preparation for violin exams. All that she had ever saved or earned those few months had went into the exam. The hiring of the pianist, the music lessons, the paying of the exam fees itself, the booking of the music studio to rehearse...for those few months she's really broke, scrimped on meals and stuff...so for a good two months, being so broke, she could not even afford to buy batteries for her MP3 player.

The MP3 player is absolutely essential to the musio, she would really need to really listen to the songs that are often given last minute and to figure out the chords and what to play for her violin part. Cos most of the songs do not have strings interlude in them.

So then, came one day that someone asked if she could pass all her digital photos to him for him to compile, all the photogs like to pool our photos together often we would have a good laugh at what we saw in those pictures from other units...:) of course we would share them out lah...:P Having no thumbdrive, her MP3 player serves as a detachable thumbdrive. So then this gal uploaded all her photos and passed to this someone, the MP3 player. He was shocked that she had passed him her precious MP3 player.

"You don't need to listen meh? You on duty right?"

"It's okay lah, I don't have money to buy the batteries anyway...upload already pass back to me okay?"

On duty that Sunday, the gal gets back her MP3 player and put it aside, since its a thumbdrive, the gal could pluck it out and plug it in the USB port of her computer to save on batteries!!....wahahh you would think of all the ways to save money when you are absolutely broke!

Finally got some money to buy a cheapo pack of batteries, opened the battery compartment and VOLA! There's this really "higher end" battery sitting in the player. "Eh, i dun use this brand lei, how come got this battery in the compartment?" She pressed the "ON" button, it worked...

Finally, it dawned on her, tears started to flow down her cheeks like a silly little gal...she MSN that someone whom refused to tell her where the battery come from..

"If its not you who put the battery in then it must be an ANGEL..."

"The ANGEL knows that you have no money to buy batteries, bless you with a titanium battery, lasts way longer than the normal alkaline ones.."

The gal's tears flowed, silly gal, simple acts of kindness like that do touch her, how much does God love her to grant her such small gifts to show that He cared!

For a good few months, the gal looked up to the "ANGEL" a lot, shared a lot of things to her "angel"....looking back the girl is glad that she's finally stepping outta the emotional rollercoaster ride..

Was digging into her wallet, saw the battery again, she had put it there cos she could not bear to use the gift from her "angel"....Finally took it out today, not to think about it again ..waved the battery about and told GOD about her wallet and hence forth her emotional baggage during what she would call the mini "dark ages" of her life...

"Dear LORD, Battery NOT included this time!......."
