Boring days... When your life kinda seems the same each and everyday. Same routine on days without outings... But I guess its kinda good... At least I have some time for reflection and deep thinking besides the usual qt, piano practice, mugging, sleeping, eating, being online and other stuff like that.
But thats not to say I'm not having fun... Friday, I made a trip to Sam's house to go collect the homework/worksheets that were given out on the previous Thursday and Friday when I didn't go for school. Actually there wasn't much... Except for revision exercises and announcements and answers to questions.
Spent some time playing yu-gi-oh cards with Sam, helping him test out his decks, then playing Fifa 2005 and a bit of Halo. The Fifa controls took a bit of getting used to, cos it was kinda different from the controls I have to use for Winning Eleven. The shoot and long shot buttons were swapped. Halo was ok... Sam let me win lah. No doubt about it.
Sam's P6 cousin came over to ask him for help for problem sums he couldn't do. And it was pretty fun watching Sam teach. Uh... I even chipped in to help solve some of them using the outdated model method haha. I feel like a maths god now. Though I guess its not much to be proud of. =P
Singapore Idol... Singaporeans sure are smart. They voted correctly, definitely. Not like Americans who could let my fellow rocker Chris get voted out. Sorry Americans. Surprisingly some of them chose well known songs as compared to the expected older songs. Like A-Train's Drops of Jupiter and Here Without You by Three Doors Down... At this stage of the competition people tend to sing safe ballads? At least thats the impression I tend to get.
Sunday... Recieved the wedding invitation to Tim and Hui Min's wedding on the 24th. Can't wait! Though I'd most probably have to skip the dinner cos of piano. BS was good... Worship was ok for me lah. Screwed up a bit. After that some of us went to the National Stadium for GDOP...
Global Day of Prayer! Singaporean churches gathered at the National Stadium to pray for Singapore as well as other countries of the world. It was a day to bring everything in our lives to prayer. The message for Singaporeans was... Matthew 6:22-24.
"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good (greek translation exact meaning: singly focused), your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad (greek translation exact meaning: multiply focused), your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."
For us Singaporeans it means one single thing though the passage seems quite chim. Simply put... Us Singaporeans usually pursue other things instead of God. This is kinda like a reminder that only God matters, and he should be the only one we should focus on. Not money, not degrees, not education, not our friends either. Though these things can be a part of your life, you cannot make them your main focus.
Ok... Hope all you fellow christians out there got that.
Hmm that was quite lengthy... Please read through it thoroughly though.
