Haven’t Been Posting Much
This place has really taken a holiday man. I could never have imagined I would be this busy during holidays! With what you ask? I’m not sure.. its just.. I guess when I have the time, these things (blogging and general online activities) suddenly take a backseat. I’ve been house-sitting when my mom goes out, helping out at (read: slacking) at pastor’s place. Its quite funny actually cos there’s nothing much I could actually do other than just be around and carry stuff here and there abit. Most of the time is spent just spending time together talking and messing with his things. I’ve to rest more I guess, and read too. Anyways, I came across this funny picture from last year.
I think I did it when I microwaved an egg and covered it thinking it would prevent a mess - obviously I was wrong cos the explosion was so strong the cover flew off.
That was utterly unrelated. Anyway, I had a few fruitful talks this week. Daniel on Sunday, pastor on most other days and Jonathan today. It was not really the talks or its contents that were edifying, it was the realizations about myself that I gained after thinking about what they/I had said and viewing firstly in the context of being a church member and then in the context of supposedly being bible believing Christians. When I look at these two, really the Christianity I live is so shallow, as with so many others around. How much we obsess about people around us really suprised me greatly and I became very conscious of it in my own talk and in others this week. Surely when we are judged we stand alone.
Lastly, although I’ve been with people this whole week, I’m feeling quite lonely already cos theres nothing much to do with myself. Now its the end of another week and I’m just.. here. I really want to go out lim kopi but theres nobody to go with me. Sitting down and doing some reading would be nice.. I keep falling asleep when I read myself, even after 3 chapters of the bible I’m so tired I doze off sitting outside the house where its bright and green with all the plants.
William seems to be busy. Gone are the days where we were all slackers, free at a moment’s notice. Haha.. I wonder if growing up really catches up with you and your friends so much so that its not so simple to just call each other and go out for coffee. Really as one of my GP essay topics put so rightly: youth is wasted on the young.
I’ve decided I want a canon G9 so I’m going to start saving for it. Thats a funny thought cos I can just buy it outright with the money I have. Still, I feel I’ve lost the art of saving. When the money in my bank account reaches a certain (undisclosed) amount I’ll just ask my bro to buy it from the states if the warranty covers it.
Thats all for now. Maybe I’ll sleep early today. hahaha.. who am I kidding..
