Warm and Fuzzy amidst the chaos...

I just got back from church. Today was especially pleasant because Noel, Brenda and Sue came along. You see it’s just good to have people you care about around you when you’re in church. I have been trying to get my parents to go to church but I guess they’re too embedded in their beliefs to even accompany me to church for two hours. Nonetheless, I’ll keep on praying.

Today’s sermon was good. Pastor Rony was at his humorous best tonight and service ended much later than usual. Well, I doubt anyone minded coz’ the sermon was meaningful and contained a lot of stories we could learn from and relate to. Morale of today’s sermon? Simple. Pray when you’re sad, happy, worried or in any need whatsoever. Believe in him no matter what and keep the faith. You know what? We may not be the holiest people around but just like any loving father, God will continue to forgive us, take care of us and provide for all our needs as long as we prove to him that we deserve it. And that goes the same for anyone who reads this.

Yesterday’s clubbing experience turned out to be better than we thought. The disappointment at “Gotham Penthouse” threatened to spoil the night but the fun we had at “Attica” and “Attica Too” gave the saving grace. Here's a summary of that night. Mitchell got drunk and we had to send her home half-way through the night (poor girl). Xinlei didn’t lose her phone this time (she lost one at liquid room and another one at Zouk in the span of two weeks). Jiayi lost her camera cover after we took pictures near my car (her turn). And I finally managed to outlast Winkie in clubbing (So much so that she and Xin had to take their heels off to walk to the car after leaving the club.) It was a night well-spent. Noel and Zhiwei would have regretted not staying on longer.
