Loving saturdays the most lah. its like on the spiritual chart meter u see a sudden sharp increase on saturdays, coz its service days. haha. oh well.

woke up at 10.55am, coz the weather was perfect for sleeping in. couldnt even get myself to realise that i had to meet my biblical friends at 11am at Somerset for lunch. haha. so erm yeah, kinda rushed alot and my mom drove me all the way to Newton station where i took a train. A-men. lol. see Hope Church getting in my head already. haha. okay. was so rushed lah. reached there just nice 12.01pm. prayer meet starts at 12am. then didnt see any care group members except Gideon at the reception. waved to him and then just continued and storm into the auditorium. then ran up the steps to find... no one. wah malu sia i tell you. thought i was late but was the first to enter. but the musicians were on stage already lah. then the female usher ran and kinda asked me to be seated. lol. like im some idiot who was new or something. oh well. thankfully Thaddeus and the rest came in not long after. okay. so prayer meet started.

okay. well prayer meet was nice. so was service after. its like i so appreciate being able to do tongues now, cause i get the goosebumps feeling everytime i break out in tongues. yeah. that feeling where u feel like you've been electrocuted by the Holy Spirit and your legs go weak. basically didnt feel as spiritually high as last week. but that was when the whole church joined hands and prayed in unison. then like super electrifying lah, can literally feel my whole body shaking. oh well. after that it really made and set the atmosphere, at least for me. ahhh!! have i told you how much i love God? lol okok.

after lunch at Starhub centre, went for DMM(David's Mighty Men.. i think) meeting, in the Europe Room near the reception there. was kinda crap and squeezy lah. oh yeah. first DMM meeting for me. was not for me lah, coz i wasnt a sheperd. it was for sheperds yeah. but then Gideon and Jon kinda invited us coz itwas on BGR. yeah, u heard me, BGR. Biblical Perspective on BGR to be exact. lol. okay we had lots of fun crapping lah. but all in all, it was taught that : -

1. Defective dating, erm but rather it is right courtship instead. okay i know quite chim. coz i had a hard time understanding too. but then dats wad we should do.
2. how to avoid defective dating.
3. and erm, should we decide to get a gf or get married, its important to choose a partner that are Christians too!! okay yah basically cause our spiritual life wont be in ruins then.

it was a lesson that was enriching and yeah open up my perspective on things. yeah i know we had this kinda talks time and time again. but if its by the church, its different lah. lol. then the others were like acting gay and pretending to have BBR(boy-boy relationship). lol. oh well. by the time the lesson ended i was super late for Ching Ming, and my parents called me on the cell and keep complaining on how late i was lah. in the end it really left me wondering, whether i did the right thing by going for the meeting a not. oh well. was super rushed and took the train to Newton where my parents were already waiting for me.

was super angry and pissed at them lah. the whole time in the car hear their story on setting priorities and how i shouldnt be late, like its so darn in my control. but i tell ya the best thing that happen out of this is when i got into the car, and my sister beside me looked at me, rested her head on my shoulder and hugged my left arm. oh boy, its really touching lah, coz she's like only 7 yrs old and she knows how to express her love when i needed it most. my dad was like scolding away and she hugged my arm. though she may not know that she was doing something super comforting, i bet deep down inside the Holy Spirit was working on her, hinting her to do wad she did. oh man. i was totally lost for words, i honestly tell u i felt like crying. no but i didnt okay (:

reached the cementry and went to my grandmother's tomb. u must be wondering why a Christian has to go for Ching Ming. this was a Christian cementry and erm, Ching Ming is not a Buddist custom but a Chinese custom and tradition. so yeah. first time i did tongues during prayer infront of my Grandmother's tomb. it was really something that was very nice and heartwarming to be able to do, after that, moved over to my Grandfather's tomb. yeah. how time flies. close to 3 yrs already since i last saw my grandfather. sigh. it was really touching lah, especially when my aunt told me that as she was going through the letter my Grandfather wrote when he was in Brunei to her was that, in mandarin, "my precious grandson, Shawn, knows how to call me Grandpa already. and he can even recognise me from a picture" i neva been that close to my Grandfather, and it was really touching to hear that i meant so much to him. sigh. time flies i tell ya. oh yeah, my brother pointed out to a rainbow we saw when we were at my Grandfathers tomb. thank God it stopped raining when we arrived at the cemetry and i didnt have a single mosquito bite. and it was like, the rainbow was there just for us to see, coz the next minute we turned to see again, it was gone. Gone even before i could get a shot of it with my phone. oh yeah, i found out that my aunt and uncle were presbyterians. knew they were Christians but didnt know they were presbyterians, but methodists. oh well.

went to my aunt's place for dinner after that. yeah. so now im back home. Chemistry test on Monday and i didnt bring back my Chemistry book okay. i still told Mr Won when were trying to persuade him to postpone the test that if he gave it on friday, i would definitely fail and if he gave it on Monday, i wad pass it. sigh. i better pass then. gonna go for a retreat tomorrow. so as for now. Goodnight and God bless.
