big time
[ 11:31 pm ] I was supposed to have started writing this about an hour or two ago … got distracted by this stupid Bejeweled Blitz game on Facebook … it’s darn addictive. I managed to score 92,900 … a personal highest so far. Who da man!? *points to himself* My mind is all over the place. Lemme rewind a little, hopefully the memory isn’t that fuzzy. Let’s work backwards, shall we? I visited another cell group last Friday, this was one of the original cell before they multiplied into YS’s current cell. I was rather curious; I wanted to know if the cell groups were conducted differently and how was the feel like … coz to be honest, I didn’t feel comfortable in her cell. Besides, they were going to meet at Auntie Susy’s place and I haven’t seen her in a while, so I thought, why not? I was pleasantly surprised … that this cell was different. A little more … approachable and had a homely feel to it, much like how Homes in ACTS are conducted. I felt comfortable, partly because it was a familiar surrounding. I won’t go through how the cell went, different churches got different styles, and I’m opened to different experiences. I manage to connect pretty well with some of the guys there, a lot more than her cell lol =X This is a happy cell, I like. But I like my Homes more … though I see some good qualities that could be incorporated into ours. I love Auntie Susy, I think I’ve mentioned that a few times before in this blog. I really don’t mind giving her a hug lor. I’ve not seen a person with a gentle and caring spirit like hers, so yeah, I admire that. Besides, I have to thank her for a few things :) The weekend ended pretty fast. I spent a better half of my Saturday with Weng and Siew Li at Sg. Wang. He needed to get his suit done for his wedding this coming Christmas. Yeah, we went to the same shop I tailored mine early this year for Eric’s wedding. I might not remember the material or cutting well, but I remember the good service. Note to self, sometimes it’s not the work you produce, but the service you render. Ok, back to story … Nick wasn’t around so Jack (I can imagine Jack Ling as a tailor, seriously) attended to us instead. Lepas tu, we belah! I told Weng I couldn’t be his best man. How many times in a year do I have to be the best man? Besides, his wedding is on Christmas day. I want to be in church for Christmas … good thing they understood my stands. My mom came back from her mission trip from Estonia. Nah kidding. She brought back some chocolates (the usual) AND AND AND AND … a few packets of fried pork skin that looks like crackers! Pork Rind or something like that. I thought it tasted weird until I found out it was pork. BABI SIUT! Babi junk food! I took 5 pieces and stopped, didn’t look very healthy to me. I’d go for rice crackers instead. Rev T.T Quah spoke today at our church. I took YS along for the evening service since she’s friend with him (big time la). Long story. The bible is pretty interesting when we start to understand the cultural practices, taboo and way of life back then. It didn’t occur to me that guys back then don’t wear pants. I always thought there would be pants underneath those gowns … I guess they don’t wear underwear too? There’s a bunch of changes to the Dream Malaysia video that pastor wanted … that’s easily another week’s worth of work there. Haihhh … but I will still do it. Speaking about pastors, I used to stay with my uncle when I was studying SAM back in 1997. He would occasionally have visiting pastors staying over. There’s this one pastor that I remember clearly (for a few reasons). My uncle usually goes the extra mile to make his stay pleasant … he’ll pinjam his car la, belanja him la, take him around la, etc. I wondered, who is this man? Why was my uncle so humbled? Why is my uncle serving him … like … like … dude, where’s your dignity man? Don’t have to humble yourself until so low la. I was 18 and backsliding, what would I know? ;) It took me 10 years to figure it out. I finally understood. When you really respect a person, even more when a person who added so much value into your life, what is that little ‘inconvenience’? In my eyes, it was an inconvenience. In his eyes, it was a service. He was serving the man that perhaps added value to his life. I wouldn’t have known that. Now looking back, what is that one week’s worth of extra work? Nothing :) 3 comments Archives nothing |
