Sunday wasn't bad at all, though i woke up with a really bad flu and was afraid to sing during worship lest i distract those around me with my wonderful "zao xiang-ing" sore throat voice. haha. Standard procedures like every Sunday, forced out of bed by parents, leave a bit later than the target of 9am and breakfast at coffeeshop opposite church. A homegrown speaker took the pulpit today, speaking about how to desire God more in our lives. Kind of links to Saturday's message.
Life was proven to be overrated as the life of King Solomon slowly peeked out, mainly the fact that he had 300 wives and 700 concubines, and still wasn't satisfied. I'm like, "What more could a guy ask for in life!!" Ok sorry, that wasn't what i meant. He had everything the world could offer but somehow, still wasn't satisfied. That's when God should come into the story. Anyhow, here are 3 practical steps for us to desire God more in our lives.
1. Recognise first that God is the only one who can satisfy you. (King Solomon could do that cause he tried everything in life already. haha.) 2. Release your desires to him completely. 3. Realign your priorities to journey together with him.
Well, so after service we had worship fellowship, lunch provided. And as warren would say," Nothing beats a free lunch." haha. Some things never change. Oh, during worhip fellowship, a video was screened and many floodgates were opened, from people's eyes. Check it out yourself, and appreciate your father. This boy, told his father he wanted to join the triathlon, they did. Now he wanted to join iron man, the world's toughest fitness challenge, they did.
Then the plan was dinner tonight at Bernie's, potluck. Went to the supermarket to get the ingredients for Shepherd's pie. Daron came over soon after with his chickens, those which can be eaten and we were off to Bernie's (not the pub). Only Bernie and Rach were there when we reached, followed by Yanjun and Jasmine.
Riding on an Aeroplane.
Playgrounds are da bomb
hear-heard, smell-smelled, see-saw.
Soon after, or not so soon after, Adriel, Miao and Yn made their grand appearance. It was time to eat supper, woohoo.
God-provided food.
Definitely God-provided, Shepherd's Pie.
After being chased out by the guard from using the bbq pit, we migrated to the poolside table for a drink where some of us drank more than the others.

Being pestered again by the guards, no wait, security officers, we went off to the playground OUTSIDE the condo. Oh, so many jobs these days get prestigious names like the security officer (he told us to call him that once, instead of guard.) Let's see, Grass cutters: Landscape Designer Toilet cleaner: Sanitary Agent Bus Driver: Bus Captain
No wonder so many people these days are unable to find jobs perfectly fitted for them. haha. Back to where i left off. We ran off to the 2 swings and miraculously, they could hold our weights, including mine.
Having fun.
Come on rach, Pull!!!
M.A.D. (Marcus.Adriel.Daron), Daron we need to see more of your face, wait, we see his cheeks.
Smile!
Finishing it all off
A fulfilling night i must say, everyone had fun laughing at each other. haha. Till then.
