Reborned, relieved, relived
Today was a dreadful morning... *rewind*
Today was a beautiful Sunday morning, where the brilliant red sun hung low over the morning sky, showering the peaceful land of earth with the most comfortable golden rays. However, it was made dreadful by a dilemma which involved so many implications. Shan't elaborate on that too much though. As I said too many implications were involved.
So service was on for today. I went out pretty early in the morning, dressed like a Christmas tree- black singlet with red shorts and a green jacket. So it was kind of awkward. But anyway, that was not the purpose here. One thing worth emphasising about today was how my stupidity had caused me to suffer.
Act of intense stupidity number one- I wanted to jog to the church which is 2 stops away from my house (I was referring to Mass Rapid Transit Train stations, not bus). The idea itself was already a stupid one, but I did things which were more stupid. Firstly, I acted smart by deciding to go along the MRT trail. I mean the MRT track would end me up at the next station if I followed along it and jogged, wouldn't it? So I was smart. Only until I realise that I didn't know which one is to which direction (is it To Pasir Ris, or to Tanah Merah). Because of that, I took a detour to the bus stop which is only 5 minutes-walk from my house ,and took 20minutes. Here's what I did, I walked towards the MRT station and decided against it for fear of getting lost, so I U-turned back, which means I walked an extra 500m or so.
Act of stupidity number two- I messaged throughout the journey, and somehow missed the bus stop. Bus 12 is a bus I took almost every single morning to school, yet I missed the stop. That's how bad distractions can affect out lives. Luckily, Joel replied in time to give me directions which allowed me to get down in time. One stop after, so I had to walked all the way back, which wasn't that bad. It was good enough, taking into considerations the ifs, that I've gotten off much later, that I might not have noticed it.
Today's service started off with many songs. I love them, as well as the dance. One of them was I love you Jesus something something one, while the other one was about the Splendor King or something one. All the songs were nice. Auntie Yipeng(I'm already calling her that despite knowing her only today) sang really well. She can really sing.
Then we had some youth program in the third floor counseling centre. We had this talk by Auntie Gween(I actually remembered) on media. To be specific, it's actually about how the media affects us and how we should respond to it, and how we should respond to it. The discussion was pretty fruitful.
In the afternoon, we had this music lesson program conducted by some musically-inclined church members. So, I joined the keyboard one. It was cool. I'm gonna learn keyboard, and Joel, Jolyn, and Alvin are learning with me too. We learnt some cords- G-major, C-major, A-minor, and D-major. Difficult to stretch the fingers, but ya... I'm looking forward to playing it well.
Then had this study group with Joel, Faith and Jolyn. I discovered the loving side of Joel. He treated Jolyn so well. He's a wonderful brother I guess. Yup, that sort of sum it up for today.
I'm not feeling well... had curry just now.. and am having so many butterflies in my tummy. it's becoming a garden...
