Sky Juice
[ 11:06 pm ] Yesterday was David's bachelor outing and of course an opportunity for some guy bonding. The few of us went to catch Valkyrie, based on a true story about a failed attempt to assassinate Hitler. This is just one of those movies that while walking into the cinema you kinda know the ending already? They failed, that's it. End of movie. Later on we had dinner at Dave's, the place where I celebrated my birthday back in 2004. Now, that was quite a while back. Pretty nice place, but I think they might have changed the menu. Got no complains about the food, it's still good. We ordered two 1/2 meter pizzas ... I was actually expecting it to be 1/2 meter in diameter ... but it wasn't, so it was 1/2 meter long. Though it would be a crazy huge pizza if it was 1/2 in diameter. The pizza was great. I got to know the guys a little better now, kinda break the ice a little more as well. I've always found it amusing to observe how people from different churches interact, and what values they hold. Our conversations somehow suddenly centered around how different churches were ran, as well as some ... ummm ... 'sensational topics' about their problems. Dirty laundry basically. At some point, I was flabbergasted ... if anything were true, I am damn glad to be in Acts lol. There are just some things that just boggles your mind. I don't believe in churches that 'dismisses' members because they fall short of their standards. Isn't the church suppose to accept people with their short-comings and be the moral lighthouse? Anyways, we try not to talk about other churches or how sesat they are. Who are we to judge? After dinner the whole lot of us rendezvous at Sky Bar, a little chic swanky place at Trader's Hotel. That's where the birthday ladies will be at as well, killing 2 birds with one stone :P I thought the place was quite ok, not sleazy but brightly lit and nicely deco ... as for the music, I wish I could turn it off. You'd think a place like this they will be playing some laid back chill out music, but it was some house music. There's a large swimming pool at the center of the place, I wonder how many people ever fell into it. It was really humid and we were sweating ... and no, there's no aircond as it was 'almost' opened air. Must had been the weather and the hot air from the streets below. We were at the 33th floor, I'd expected it to be cooling. Anyways, the ladies joined us later ... kinda conned the both of them into this, so I guess they didn't realise that it was planned. I spotted CY and YF as they were walking in, so I joined them for a little while, had to swap groups a few times that night. Totally different bunch of people but enjoyable company nevertheless. Got to know the both of them better as well, perhaps some of my initial impressions just weren't true after all. I need to stop profiling people and fitting them into molds. We left the place around 1am, and I had the best opportunity to use the phone's GPS system hahahaha. I LOVE THIS THING! I was driving through lorongs I never knew existed and got back home following the instruction, it's quite fun really. Though it's not a perfect system, you just need to fine tune the route sometimes. Ahhh ... the joys of having a GPS capable phone. Oh yeah, while driving to Sky Bar, David was kinda sharing about the difficulties that he had to go through for the wedding. Once again, this is about another church and I don't want to talk about how things are run in other churches, but again, I am quite glad to be in ACTS. There's too much nonsense out there. I just hope that our leadership will still be forward thinking even when their hair turn white. So, what do I think of the whole night? I don't think I want to be out in these places unless I really have to. I rather enjoy the company over a meal at a nice restaurant or even a cheapo place. It's the company that counts, not the place sometimes. Wasn't there a saying, 'Good food accompany good company'? Or did I just made that up .... maybe I did. Hang on, Google time. Ok, I made that up. Annndddd ... for the few of you that had the surprise of my mom adding you to her Facebook account, aren't you just lucky? Hahahaha ... I'm actually worried about my mom using the Internet. I don't want her to get conned. Anyways, I was quite against my mom using Facebook. Really. How would you feel if your mom added you on Facebook and have access to some of your personal stuff that you keep separate from home? Now, she'll know who you've been going out with, what you've been doing, and the photos! But you know what, after seeing her get connected with her friends, I guess it's not too bad after all. It's kinda fun to see her connecting with her friends ... and now the rest of my uncles and aunties in Australia are connected to her ... and now to me :\ So, this is what I did. You can group your family and set the privacy settings for the group. Now, they don't get to see my full profile :P Mean? Nah ... I don't think so. Would you want MY mom to see what YOU'RE up to? Huh!? p/s: Hi there silent Singaporean reader :) 0 comments Archives nothing |
