ah ah ah ... beautiful sunday....

Bright beautiful Sunday morning, I woke up n found Marlin looking walking n talking like zombie… DUH! She slept at 5… :D but no mistake, she had no regrets lagh… hehe… well, I was quite on time when I went out of the house… but who could predict the bus?! Was thinking of taking cab, but none was free -_-‘… finally 188 came… i was 'great.. another bus stop…reaching liao..' thennnn the bus turned left instead of going straight… wad d ….??!!! I immediately alighted n looked around… it looked like there’s a kind of market on the far end of the road… so definitely the church is not there… so I decided to go back to the main road (b4 the bus turned) n walked according to sbass’ instruction… but I saw one malay guy ready to set on his motor cycle… so I asked him
Me: hello…. :p do u hav any idea wther there’s any church around here…
Malay guy : (shocked tat im asking about a church) church????!!!!!
Me : :D yeaaaa
Malaay guy : ow.. I think itz that white church, right ?
Me : (tho duno wadz the church looked like….. ) uh-huh….
Well… he pointed that I juz hv to walk a bit… itz actually the place i thought a market...=p I was kinda late when I arrived… to my surprise, itz soo very different from ORPC! GPBB is TINY! :D but sbass said the English congregation has bigger space… eniwei… when I came in, the service had started n I could find sbass nowhere in sight…. Instead, I saw yongky n h-boy n rizky n decided to join them… but then sbass called me from the right Oopz.. didnt see him there..

Erhm.. I noted that guy on the piano is darn good!! He could make simple songs sounds so beautifully complicated :D well… sermon was by pdt. Johan Gopur… he is the same guy who preached at my church last x’mas… the theme was ‘where’s God in ur Agenda’..... we, as humans, could plan a lot of things… but we cant be sure that ANYTHING wouldn’t happen tomorrow… itz all in God’s hands… 2nd type of wrong behaviour,… we LIST DOWN wad we want, n force God to approve… which is so very ME! I do wadever I want, n I prayed that God bless them n walk with me… tho sometimes it might not be ‘rightfully right’, I PRAYED that God grant me this hope or something like that…. Instead, we have to alwiz think back what God wants in our lives.. maybe we duno what He wants, but WHO knows what He plans anyway?? Sometimes u do things according to His wants, but sometimes trials n temptations are too strong that we forget about Him.. but Job, the righteous man from the old testament, he is soo faithful that God has no heart to hurt him (not us too!! Everything good is from Him, but nothing BAD is from Him, ok?!) but satan is jealous n hoping to waver his faith.. Job lost 10 children n his personal wealth n maids in a day… even he himself got the most devastating illness… but as he hold strongly to God, n never spite Him or grumble even once, He added his blessings to Job! He got more than what he had…. But isn’t it sad for Job that the first 10 children died? Tho he had children again n even more blessed, if I were him, I would still think about the 10 children… I think this is what it means by walking in God’s plans… wadever God gives, we take care, wadever God takes, the things we’ve taken care n God would be pleased…. We have to remember that everything in this world belongs to God… that we are only LENT by Him all these personal wealth, family, intelligence n other things… nothing we brought to the world when we were born, n NOTHING we could bring out of the world when we died, except of the assurance of the eternal life…

i think, Ive not been able to commit wholeheartedly, maybe itz becoz I KNOW what awaits righteous n faithful Christians… trials n temptations… hav u not heard that the closer u r to God, the more satan hates u n the more he try to put more trials to block ur path, n determine to turn u away from God…. Some people hav so much trials that im juz AMAZED that they could face them… example Toby, the 21 year old guy in my church (could hav been 22-23 this year) he passed away when he was 21 due to kidney failure… he was a very active guy, very well-known n well-liked by his members of family n friends… all of a sudden, he became quite a loner n didn’t go out as much as he usually did… when brought to doctor, his kidneys BOTH failed n soon after that sentence, he had to do blood transfusion…. The most amazing thing about this guy is that although he is in pain, he could still praise the Lord… when my preacher sms-ed him, asking about his condition n he said ‘tho my body is failing, my trust (something like that.. I dun remember wad he really said) in God is getting better’ (as in he felt closer to God than any other time) my preacher wept…. He’s so young, n still… he’s faithful in God n KNEW that God will be there waiting for him… so far, ive not been thinking about MY own death.. but somehow… after reading the scripture yesterday, it was said that WE, Christians, know what to do n not to do… we HAVE to do what we have to do, n if we dun, we are sinning… thus…. My sin lists hav gone to infinity!! Tho I know God would redeem me, but wouldn’t He be bored redeeming me if I kept on sinning again? *Sigh* what awaits me after this worth-awhile life?

Eniwei, after church, I met c Marlita n pdt Johan n talked with them for a while… pdt Johan didn’t remember where he met me.. but when I said im from bandung, he straight away remember Kalam Kudus… ^_^ hehe c Marlita, apparently was a member of pdt Johan’s church back in Jakarta… :D was a coincidence…. After the refreshment, me n sbass joined by Marlin went for lunch n then back to my house to change clothes then met aswin… Qkho sms-ed tat she was reaching liao… we were like ‘oh no!!! we’re still at the bus stop!’ we hailed taxi, but never did come…. I remembered tat I forgot to bring the films negative… -_-‘ so I gota ran back to the house… by the time Im back to the bus stop, Qkho arrived liao O_o’ eniwei… we managed to get taxi n met aswin… we went here n there without particular destination… :p went to national stadium… suntec… raffles city…. Finally out of the pan…. By 6, qkho n sbas left us liao… so we went back to orchard as aswin said his friends would be meeting him at wheelock.. I bought da vinci code for cia2… n we spent a longggg longgg time wandering inside borders finaly our sitting place is outside wheelock near the traffic light.. :p bwehehehe

Dinner was again at nydc… the waiter rememberd lehh!!! *paiseh* aswin’s frenz, Irene, Sylvia, Michael (the ntu graduates), n Iin (NUS graduate) updated each other… while I played with marlin’s hp… there’s this pic of Chloe ‘crowned’… it looks very exaggerated lagh…. She’s bald.. n not ready to smile like a little princess n yet marlin said ‘cute ah?!’…. Tony could not take it.. he was drinking n he laughed out... as a result… a pool of water created like waterfall… bwehehehehehehe… Eniweii… our dinner lasted quite long legh… hehe up to 10 oclock … no wonder I saw relieve in the Indian girl’s eyes when we asked for bills… hehe.. we took more photos at wheelock b4 we finally went home… at home, I was toooooo tired to do any tutorials (as usual hor!) eniwei… aswin gave me belated prezzie… n it was a pig…. *towew* bwehehe… added to my piggy collection liao…. :D
