Driving in Wonderland

The week passed very slowly with many things happening in the workplace. For good or bad, only time can tell. Drove to work on fri so that I can have an enjoyable day and also to meet the rest early too. Picked up Elaine & Shijia at Jurong East Mrt ard 6pm before the three of us made our way to Marina Square to meet up with CS, Web, Sophia & Pris.
The 7 of us had dinner at the foodcourt followed by coffee session at Killiney at 8plus. It was an good catchup session as many of us are simply busy with our own schedule at times. Took a walk around the area before catching a breath at Pan Pacific sofas. Half-way, Web went off to join the guys at PS for movie. All went our separate ways at 10.20pm.
However, it does not mark the end of my friday night and in actual fact, it had just begin. Drove to Euno to pick up Joanne & Meiling together with Pris & Sophie beside me before sending Pris back home at Sengkang as her gastric pain is developing. Spent close to 15min deciding what to do after that as the remaining 4 of us could not decide on a common understanding. Haiz!! That's the problem with too many people having different characters...or should I just blame it on the indecisiveness on women? Hmm...
Wind down the car window by Joanne as she does not intend to go & see God so soon....hahaha!! Finally decide to go East Coast Park to have some food & drinks to relax ourselves. However, Sunset Bay was closed by the time we arrived at 12am. Took a stroll to Bedok Jetty which was an enjoyable experience as I had 3 Pretty & Single gals by my side. This is the first time I had such an romantic moment of my life and I certainly hope this will continue to be so....but not only in my dream though.
Shortly after Joanne proposed to go Murstafa for pratas and shopping. OMG!! This bunch of gals sure can't sit still for a moment. I recount my journey for the day and realized that I had drove from the east to the west and then to central followed to east and north and east and now we want to go central again.
As usual, I seldom reject the gals request and so off to Murstafa at 1plus in the morning. By God's grace, we managed to find a parking lot in spite of the heavy traffic and my poor parallel parking skill. The same old topics was shared with Meiling during the "breakfast" and the graph regarding the man & woman was totally agreed by Joanne. Somehow, this feeling and scenarios seem so familiar. Maybe, it's just a different crowd this time round. Who knows when my gf will finally appeared suddenly?
Shopped around Murstafa with Sophie, meiling & Joanne with each of them buying something. I was surprised to see the crowds and that such a lively scenarios is found in Singapore even at 3 plus in the morning. Indeed, it was a eye-opener for me. Almost had an car accident on our way home due to the unfamiliarity with the road plus the fatigue setting in I believer. Luckily, all of us escaped unharmed. The route was then ECP, Simei, Sengkang before finally back to Tamp. I think I drove one of the longest time ever since I got my car 2 mths back. Someone on the way back commented that it seem that the buying of my car was to send the gals back home only. I totally agreed with that until I told my mum on sat evening. She protested that the purpose was because for her own convenience only....haha!! Anyway, the whole sat was spent sleeping away.

Baptism 2008

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to Joel, Happy Birthday to me!! Haha.....today marks the day of my baptism. A new chapter, a new phase of my life had just started. Definitely it will be exciting and all my dreams will be fulfilled...haha!!
Had an fulfilling breakfast with my parents, uncle and my auntie at AMK before proceeding to Expo for service. Sermon preached by Ps Benny Ho before making my way to ECP in eg's car with daniel and elwin. Anyway, the baptism was over before I knew it. One interesting encounter was the verse shared by Ps David during my baptism, it was still 1 Cor 10:13. It seemed that this verse continue to remain one of the most quoted verse in my life for now. Jo & Grace tried to intro 3 new gals to our cell guys which apparently did not worked out that well. I think the gals will probably not remember any of our names but as Honda Civic Type R or Vios. Think our intro skills need to polish up abit.
Some of us went to Parkway for some ice-cream & drinks followed by some discussion. It seemed that our info are really not that up-dated as each and everone of us are busy with our own schedule. There is always sad stories in our midst and it only depend on who's the person involved in it. Nevertherless, let me continue to enjoy myself in this joyous occasion where the sky may even "open".

Backup Plans

Finally, it's time for some rest at home. Been going out for the past 3 nights which is of course enjoyable but not healthy for my pocket. Friday was supposed to meet up with jo but ended up meeting Sop & Car at The Cathay where we went to play board games nearby. Sat was supposed to meet up with gq, mich & the rest for dinner where I ended up shopping ard Vivo with Jaslyn. Still as pretty and noisy as before. Haiz...something just never change. Sunday night was spent at TM catching "Accuracy of Death" with Jo, web & Sop. Had a drink at T3 where we stayed till 5 plus in the morning. Fish...I thought I want to cut down on late night outing but ended up staying out later and later.
Dropped down dead tired on my bed after sending all the folks back home. Sometime, things just never go according to what we had planned. Though it's good to have backup plans, it's kind of sad sometime as it may just simply mean a lack of committement hence the need to have alternative routes available. Whatever the case, I'm still glad that my family had always been there to support whenever I need the help and support.
This sunday will be my upcoming baptism. Can't really feel the excitement yet but guess it will be so on sat night.

BreakThrough

Break and be through!! Been a extremely tiring week with many things going on at the same time. Yesterday was spent at S's place with web n C. The scenery was beautiful and so are the girls beside....haha!! Really enjoyed just sitting down at someone's place and rest and relax. The costs are low too which is much needed too. Almost had an accident after sending C back home. Guess I'm really too tired already.
After less than 5 hrs of sleep, I dragged a half-dead body to attend the whole day baptism classes. It was from 8.15am till 4.30pm loh!! I was feeling abit relentant to go as it simply mean my only day of long rest would be forfeited plus it also mean the end of my saturday too. Anyway, the session turned out to be better than I expected thus I get to know Jo too. Thanks God for sending her to sit beside me which made my day brighter. After spending 1 day together, there were many interesting conversations n ideas which I am too lazy to write all down. The club would be called "No Point Hiding" - NPH in short. Our very own BC SDU club is formed......hahaha!!
Many had asked why I decided to go for Baptism this time round. Is it because of the Ps David's "coffee session" last saturday? Was I "forced" or "conned" as I had mentioned that I don't think I'll be going this time round? People that know me well should have realized that I'm not one to be pressurized easily even though it mean having a big argument with the Ps or any others involved. The past 2 years had shown this quite clearly. I don't mind straining the relationship even if I had too. I must admit that I don't like to be forced to do any things that I don't want to. The more forceful people are, the more I will retaliate. Guess it's the rebellious character at works.
Even before the session, I had the intention to think of a escape route out already. Sometime meeting is just for the sake of courtesy. Not to mention, it is someone that had been there for me in the past when I need help once. Somehow the tactic changed this year or should I said perhap God had given the wisdom to all of us to make things work out better. The word "BreakThrough" was released and somehow, this is indeed what I've been thinking for the past few weeks. Things had been going smoothly but I need something more than that. Something is missing and I'm not sure how to do it. Therefore, when the word was released by Ps. David, I believed it is God's signalling me that it's time already.
I decided to take a step of faith and I believed by doing so, God will make the plan for me. I'm not saying that there will be no more struggles, but rather at some point of times, man need some shaking before he can be a better person. Just like I managed to get to know Jo and maybe her circle of frens eventually and also the NPH club today.....just kidding!!

Leap of Faith

Times really flies and it's been 4 years since I came back. What the future hold, no one can predict. Good or bad, depend on the decision made at that moment of time. Should I or should I not? Tough decision..............................

Two-sided Coin

Visited St James again with ck, elwin, faye, web and sophie yesterday. Saw Egwin, Andrew & another of our church member there as well. It was a last minute change of plan. Original plan was to go jogging and maybe dinner at Downtown East. Anyway, the whole idea was to make someone feel young again....haha!!
The whole place was crowded as expected and the music was hmm...not really my cup of tea most of the times. Left ard 2 plus and had supper at Geylang before sending the rest back home. One thing I shared with some of them during the trip back was about how everything has 2 sides of the truth but we never really realized it till we're at the other side of it.
For example, having the car gives me the freedom to chose where I want to go, the time I want to leave plus the convenience that I had expected before I had the car. However, what I did not expected is the additional responsibilities that come with it. Beside maintaining the car aspects in terms of finance, cleanliness etc, the sending of people back home safely is one aspect I had not consider previously. Now when I go clubbing or bar, I had to constantly maintain a clear-headed level of conscience as it not affect myself but the rest that come along with me.
I believe this not only applies to the car but also to every other aspects of lives. Whether relationship, work, families or even studies, there are always 2 sides of the coin but we never really bother about others except for the situation that we're facing currently. Though many longed to go into relationship for various reasons, are we really prepared to accept the responsibilities that come with it? It's a good point for many to ponder about.
