The Day It Rained Money!

one of those really amazing days
when it really rained money.

During lunchtime I checked my mail to find my Cambodia teammate say we've got the claims for delayed baggage from our travel insurance.

Remember how we arrived early at the airport but got stuck in a long queue and we only managed to check in 10 minutes before the gate closed.

We ran our butts there but the baggage got left behind.

Quite frustrating to get there and find that our bags were still in singapore,
but realised later how fortunate it was because we didn't have to carry our luggage around.

And by evening time when we actually needed our clothes,
there the luggage was,
delivered from the airport to our hotel doorstep.

Well today we got a fairly big amount of lump sum from insurance.
And the most beautiful thing of all is this,
we'll be donating this to the Cambodian fund.

It feels so much like God just made use of our mild inconvenience (if it can even be called that) to channel some money for the needy.

Super cool!

and funny how this came abt just as we're throwing ideas around on raising funds for our next trip to cambodia, where we might just build a house in a place full of flying cockroaches.

Later in the afternoon my fellow countdown juggler called me to say he has transfered the countdown gig payment to me.

"it's actually $xxx per hour"
"it's per hour and not the whole night?????" i asked in disbelief.
"yea it's per hour" he laughed.

suddenly now got another (small) windfall.

I'll prob spend this on a big furlooha costume,
which i'm still brainstorming and finding inspiration for.

I can so see a market for the big furlooha,
and if i can take off with it,
i can do so much more for the M.A.D journey,
and that's gotta be something worth doing.

what a strange but blissfully blessed day! :D
