Yesterday was a good day :)
Wasn't really feeling close to God in church yesterday, and for some reason felt distant from Him. But towards the end of the sermon, Ps Tim said something that really touched me and moved me to tears. The story about the little girl and her father did it for me, because I'm just like that little girl.
In a way. I just keep reaching out for His hand, keep trying to impress, keep trying to be better. Keep forgetting that I'm saved by grace, not by my own talents (and thank goodness I'm not saved by my own talents, if not I wouldn't be saved). And all the while I'm so caught up with my own desires that I lose focus on the big picture.
That God's the one holding out His hand, and He's just waiting for me to take it. So that He holds me and I hold Him too, and when I fall, He'll make me stand again, back on my feet, knowing full well that He'll never let me go.
Even the thought of it now, again, moves me. Our God is an awesome God :)
Stayed back in church and learnt to fold the roses after a few failed attempts. They turned out pretty nicely after that :) Left at 2 and zhun zhun met my friend in the train on the exact same carriage at the exact same door. Quite cool. Chionged to S.A.M. and got tickets to watch the Wild Empire :) It was great!
GO JM, GO JOLLYN, GO JUDE, GO AMANTHA!! =P
Was talking nonsense the whole time in between the songs while the choir walked on and off the stage. And before the performances too. Total nonsense. Laugh until stomach ache only. Hahaha.
Chatted with Wan Rong and Miss Ong for a lil bit and headed to buy more Christmas presents. :) Quite touched by the kias; how they'd go out of their way to buy presents they know their friends will like. :) Not referring to me ah. Haha.
Had dinner with Kat, Willie, Wey Zi and Sam at some posh restaurant at Clarke Quay. Thank goodness we had a 30% discount cos Kat and Willie work there if not... wouldn't have enough money to pay. Haha. Wey Zi seemed to get worried everytime we arrowed him to pay. Lol. Kiam siap =P hahaha kidding.
Spent a long time walking to find somewhere for dessert cos someone didn't know the way =P Settled somewhere and they told us all the desserts were half price! SHIOK! So. shiok la :)
Got home near 12am, knocked out at 2am and woke up at 12.30pm. Super shiokamania ok. 10.5h seems really really long and I figured I deserved the sleep since I've been sleeping 7h a night since I got back TS. Somehow 10.5h seems really long, though in the past it'd be short cos 13h is long LOL. Ah well.
I'm glad I'm staying home today. Just slack and write cards. Ok, that's not really slack. But aiya, I'm just glad to stay home today after being out every single day. Ridiculous... But aiee.
Merry Christmas Eve! :)
