Gd evening ppl !! think that this wld be a short blog (hopefully!), as i have to go back to school tml.. =(

I think there is sumthing wrong with the blogging system.. it doesn't seem to allow u to read my blog update.. well.. i'll just cont. blogging anway.. think by tml will be ok liaoz..

k.. so anyway, today went for service loh.. My pastor preached on the topic of making new year resolutions.. one thing that strikes a chord in me about that sermon was that worship is NOT about just playing the piano/keyboard/guitar, but its about putting God first place in watever we do.. When i heard that, i was like 'ok.. shld do that for 2004'..

another thing which really caught me by surprise today at service.. today, we had Holy Communion.. and one thing that my pastor said was very interesting..
For all these yrs, whenever he pours wine into the wine cup, he wld add water, and i always thought tat this is to dilute the wine or make the wine more or sumthing.. but instead, it actually has a biblical meaning of why water was added to the wine.. and the reason is becos' when the Roman soldier pierced Jesus with a spear (i think!), water and wine was being spurted out.. therefore, this is the reason y water was added to wine.. yupz.. a new discovery huh.. =)

And then came those hymns.. as u all koe, i played hymns at church too, which involves like on-the-spot sight reading of the notes (aka beansprouts), but of course, all these songs i koe one lahz.. =)
So anyway, today my pastor pick those hymns which we at church dun sing often, and worse still.. its those hymns which i either play for practice but NOT for service or it was those hymns which was only sang once a yr.. and worse still.. the hymns are like in Eb Major and Ab Major.. yupz.. so it was pretty tricky for me lohz.. however, was able to play it with no mistakes (i think!).. even if i do, dun think the congregation heard them.. wahaha.. anyway, must thank God for it!!

today's worship is ok lahz.. not so bad.. except that there are a bit too few members in the church today.. i think its like only 20+, which normal is about 40+.. so yupz.. was quite discouraged by it lohz, even though i'm not leading.. but as i say again, worship for God and NOT for man! what my pastor said today during his sermon was true..
everything we do, we do it for God, becos' God will NOT disappoint us !! AMEN!

Anyway, after service, the same clique (except Wendy & Tiffany - becos' they are holiday-ing) which goes for lunch every wk after service, went to the hawker centre beside Heartland Mall for lunch..

My sis and I had roasted pork and char siew rice.. it was quite cheap actually.. $2.50.. compared to outside price of $3.00.. but after eating, felt quite guilty.. becos' the roasted pork has quite a lot of fats.. but nvm lahz.. long long eat one time.. =)

ATTENTION!! THIS IS A REQUEST FROM HUIMIN!! HUIMIN ASK ME TO PUT ON MY BLOG WHAT SHE ATE FOR LUNCH!!
Anyway, Huimin ate ipoh hor fan with laksa gravy (becos' her mom order laksa).. well.. according to her, she say very nice.. probably, u can try it sumtime..

ok.. then huimin and I ordered dessert.. of course me being the real man (haha! *thick skin*), ordered for her lohz.. both of us ordered Ching Chow with Longans (stall name: Selegie Soya Bean)... very nice dessert they serve there.. love their Ching Chows..

ATTENTION AGAIN!! THIS IS ANOTHER REQUEST FROM HUIMIN!! HUIMIN ASK ME TO PUT ON MY BLOG WHAT SHE ATE FOR LUNCH!!

So since she wants me to be so detailed, i shall be that detailed.. =)..
She ate ching chow with 5 longans, and 13 small cubes of ice.. and i therefore ask the aunty to add another 2 small cubes of ice to make it to 15 cubes of ice (13+2=15).. hahaz.. =)

Then after that, my parents (who also went for lunch n they ate laksa) decide to go home and put all our barang barang before proceeding down to Paragon.. so my sis and i follow suit..

so then, my sis had to study for her test.. therefore, she only join us for dinner.. so my mum, my dad and myself, took bus service 105, and alight at far east.. from there, we walked to M1 Paragon..

as i had said yesterday in my blog, i went to M1 Paragon is to upgrade my sim card ($25).. which i finally did today!! feel so happy...
now, i can have the freedom of having 250 contacts and 35 SMSes in my inbox.. feel so happy.. I've got the power!! (familiar phrase huh?!?)

so then after that, we shopped the WHOLE Paragon, went to Centrepoint as my sis have not finished studying... so we kill time by window shopping loh.. then, my parents decide to eat Baker's Inn as my parents didn't ate its main course there b4.. so then i remembered that its promotion dinner is only vaild from 5pm-8pm.. and by the time i realised that, it was like 7.20pm.. so yupz.. so we rushed and walked as fast as we cld.. n we reached Baker's Inn at Plaza Singapura (and yes! i end up there again!).. so to cut the long story short, we ordered the following main course and of course, with the beverage and all..

Main course:Linguini Vongole
(Fresh clam cooked with white wine, garlic and parsley served with linguini.)
Drink:Some fruit tea.. dun koe wat name
