Time for myself

Every now and then, I enjoy living in my own imaginary world. Imagine loving an unreal someone whom I made up in my mind, imagine spending our own sweet time value each other's companion, even when none speaks. 

How sweet... :)

Days have been hectic. I have a long list of things to do but I opt to spare time for myself. Stare blankly, enjoy the soothing rhythm of songs... spending time with myself. Contented.

Endless work, meetings, readings, responsibility overwhelmed me. I hardly have time to be lonely. Loneliness which, on occasion, could be a bliss. 

I need time to rest, sleep, complete the mound of tutorial and readings, lie on bed reading readers digest, have meals with friends and chatting time away, go for a hair cut... or just enjoy listening to songs, cho boh (doing nothing)...

I miss having time for myself. 

Miss mummy, papa, bro and delt. Miss everyone back there at home. Miss chien, wilson, jos. Miss driving friends around. Miss spending time alone with friend sharing lives. Miss having someone to hug me, hug me tightly so that I know how much they love me.. just like how chien always do... 

An Unspoken Bible

His name is Bill. He has wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes in it, jeans and no shoes. This was literally his wardrobe for his entire four years of college. He is brilliant. Kind of esoteric and very, very bright. He became a Christian recently while attending college.

Across the street from the campus is a well-dressed, very conservative church. One day Bill decides to go there. He walks in with no shoes, jeans, his T-shirts, and wild hair. The service has already started and Bill starts down the aisle looking for a seat.

The church is complete packed and he can't find a seat. By now people are really looking a bit uncomfortable, but no one says anything. Bill gets closer and closer to the pulpit and, when he realizes there are no seats, he just squats down right on the carpet. (Although perfectly acceptable behaviour at a college fellowship, trust me, this had never happened in this church before!)

By now the people are really uptight, and the tension in the air is thick. About this time, the minster realizes that from way at the back of the church, an Elder is slowly making his way toward Bill. Now the Elder is in his eighties, has silver-gray hair, and a three-piece suit. A godly man, very elegant, very dignified, very courtly. He walks with a cane and, as he starts walking toward this boy, everyone is saying to themselves that you can't blame him for what he's going to do. 

How can you expect a man of his age and his background to understand some college kid on the floor? It takes a long time for the man to reach the boy. The church is utterly silent except for the clicking of the man's cane. 

All the eyes are focused on him. You can't even hear anyone breathing. The minster can't even preach the sermon until the Elder does what he has to do. And now they see this elderly man drop his cane on the floor. With great difficulty he lowers himself and sits down next to Bill and worship with him so he won't be alone. 

Everyone chokes up with emotion. When the minister gains control, he says, "What I'm about to preach, you will never remember. What you have just seen, you will never forget. Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some people will ever read."

How much you are willing to pay for the comfort of your feet?

Hey friends, here I am to survey how much people are willing to pay for a pair of comfy shoe.

Do respond! =)

New Year Celebration

Woohoo.. U must wonder how I celebrated new year last night huh?

I WENT TO EAST COAST PARK!!!

YAY! Hearing ECP excites me so so much! =P

Woke up at 8am in the morning to meet up with the sisters at Tiong Bahru to do the shopping for the afternoon picnic lunch. Had fun time preparing pasta, sandwiches and potato salad at Hui San's place =)

We over-estimated the appetite of the people, especially the brothers... Some of them had their lunch before that lah.. so under the circumstances of not having people volunteering themselves to finish up the food we'd prepared for the afternoon, we volunteered people by playing... Deng deng deng deng.... 終極密碼!!!!!!!! Those who got the precise number which was set before hand had no choice but to finish any food chosen by the people before the game started. Wuuuhuuuhuuu... There we go, the food was wiped clean in the glance of an eye!

Then then, we split into 2 groups to spend the rest of the time we had there.. Some went for bowling, the rest went for cycling. I opted for the latter. Hey, wait... Brenda went cycling???

Hey people, proudly announce to the world that Brenda knows how to cycle! She just picks up things that fast... tsk tsk tsk what to do... =P

Alrighty, done with the cycling and bowling, the unit went down to Clark Quay for New year countdown! Woohoo! There were so many ppl......

Nah.. this is the place where we gathered! The Coffee Bean =)



From there we watched the fireworks at this angle..
P/s: See the smoke between the buildings?? Fireworks lah!


Had whale of good time waiting for the clock to strike 12.. All of the sudden we met.... PASTOR JASMINE! LoL! She was also there with her friends counting down for New Year and she was so excited when she saw us! Woohoo...



WHEN IT WAS 12AM....

Lighted the sparklers...




Everyone shouted, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!"

After that, Qianru, Hongyao and I went back to ECP to stay overnight with the others who camped there!

Hongyao played guitar, Qianru and I sang and praised God.. Then the shepherd and sheep chatted throughout the night... Till the sun had risen...
