[ 1031. Late Night ]
Total upset of day and night. Got home in the morning yesterday, and simply refuse to fall asleep till noon. Struggled to pull myself out of the bed at 4, so that i could warm up and arrive at service perky and cheery.
Pretty happy to see tim and jonathan today! Haha... it's been so long since i attended service, and it was a real treat to see them today as well. Lolx. Alas, aaron and guanrui couldn't make it. One was sick, and the latter had to attend a gathering. So well.~
Jasmine talked about the basics of salvation. Something really fundamental, prolly i'd have heard it countless times in this life of mine. Probably sometimes i treat it with contempt, wondering how come i gotta sit through it again. But certainly not yesterday. As jasmine filled the sermon with personal anecdotes, my mind was also running its own old film. Especially those formative years of my walk. Stagnating has been a very familiar word. Too familiar, in fact. Short of wanting to fall out, i guess the convenantal bonds with the people are so strong that i've long forgotten that option. I'm energized once again. But there was also this part which wants to find out some things that i never knew. About people and what they thought.
Bo had us did the five languages of love survey during dinner time, as part of CG time. Out of words of encouragement, quality time, gifts, acts of service and physical touch, the survey was to find out which were the languages that we were the most at ease with receiving them. Needless to say, bo immediately shot that mine was obviously physical touch, but alas, survey saves the day. Though physical touch was high, but quality time proved even higher than that. Haha. Had a lil debate over the definition of 'quality time' as well. This era of technology has greatly diminished contact between person to person, face to face. Every lil minute thing is communicated through sms, msn and emails, and even through blogs. I remember calling people up just to talk and chat for hours, and admittedly i no longer do that not because i grown out of that, but just that i was 'lazy-fied' by the sms culture. From the kind of family background i come from, all the more i value personal time with friends, even if it means simply sitting at a cafe for hours chatting, or just window shopping without saying anything much. I need friends and company, in short. Nicole used to say i thrive on fellowship. I don't deny that.
Popped over to max brenner choc bar over at esplanade with bo, jo and enghow after sending tim and jon off. After much procrastination on my side for being fat and broke, i gave in to them and surrendered to the temptations of the warm choc fondue that the trio was so eager to try. A large one for four big eaters to share, i'd really hate to see the small one after seeing how many measly pieces of bread they gave us. Never mind though, all was made up when the first piece of choc-coated marshmallow touched the tongue. Muahahaha.... simply wonderful. How good God is for creating wonders like chocolates! For that precious twenty minutes of so, all about dieting and stuff were strewn far far away from my mind.... lolx. =p
Aye aye... time to laze around for a while, and get ready for consort later on. Tata! =p
