my weekend. (part 2)
tash is sadistic. she likes peeling ppl's dead burnt skin off. 'oooh look at this big piece!' she says with a big wide metal toothy grin, holding her prized possession gingerly between her fingers. haha. no worries. alls well for me cos it beats turning my head around to peel it for myself. and at least its now one whole light brown patch - not patchES. so thanx for pruning me gal, tho i bet u were enjoying urself. =)
that was last night after church. after the thought-provoking msg which pastor lawrence seow kept emphasizing is not gg to be pleasing or comforting, but is still what God wants to tell us. it takes guts to deliver such a msg - ppl might not want to hear any more of ur sermons. which i must say is childish cos nobody said it was easy being a Christian, nobody said Christian life equated to blessing after blessing. what He wants from us is to be able to praise Him despite our adversities. anw the sermon challenged us to take a bigger step of faith for Jesus. by 'living on the edge'. will i be able to do it? it means stepping into the unknown knowing that God is in control, that God knows the plans He has for me...'plans to prosper me and not to harm me'. i guess i'm still not there yet. despite wanting to study medicine, i am reluctant to succumb to the fact that i have to go to australia. i know i will be homesick. for 6 long years. i dun noe if i'm able to adapt to the new environment or if i would be able to take care of myself well. (well actually i hope i wouldnt take care of myself well so i would lose some weight.. haha) and i'm still clinging on to the hope that NUS will suddenly call and offer me a place..
sigh. lets move away from that way too depressing train of thought. and thats called denial syndrome.
on to a more light-hearted topic. went swimming today with my dad and i managed to swim 30 laps in less than an hr! yay thats an accomplishment for me. actually i was swimming at leisure as i always do but i never used to hit the 30s. mayb last time i talked more. this time i still did talk but lesser i guess. i formulated a theory that if i din talk, i would be able to do 40 in an hr. mayb i shall try next time.
after the swim my family minus my bro went for dinner. we had a 6 course meal comprising of braised baby sharks fin, prawns cooked 2 ways, coffee pork ribs, chilli cod fish, seafood fried rice and dessert. wah its times like these that i feel i lived to eat. the meal probably did injustice to all my effort in swimming. but anw the extravagance was cos we had to make use of the club levy if not we would still have to forfeit the money. i just had to add that so i wouldnt sound like a rich pampered kiddo. haha. hey this gal here has been helping out wif the housework u noe! gg to get veiny hands n feet already cos no maid. ok ok la.. i'm still a spoilt kid. i dun do laundry. only ironing, dishes and sweeping. heh. the sun rose on the wrong side? i think so too.
a very amusing thing happened during dinner. my dad's fren was sitting 2 tables away from us. then he came over and sat down on the empty seat to talk to my dad. about soccer. then he went back. then his wife came over. she talked about spa treatment (cos my dad's in the bathtub business) and she went back. then my dad went over to talk to them. and he came back. then when we were almost done, dad's fren called my dad to talk and say bye. my dad was like idiot why you call and waste my phone bill. so playful the 2 of them. like we teens liddat. cos i cant imagine adults doing such things. in a restaurant somemore.
