Alrighty... This weekend has been a flurry of activity. Let me start on Friday. Went to Sentosa with Lynette, Pat, Gloria, Jennifer and Dennis. It was Jennifer's birthday and I guess they wanted to show her around. Did a lot of walking along the stretch of beaches at Sentosa. Basically talked nonsense all the way with Dennis. Had New Zealand Ice Cream at central beach and looked at couples making out in canoes. Basically a reminder of what I was like. Not that I was so indiscreet. But just a reminder to be careful. :P
Anyway, we celebrated Jennifer's birthday at the top of the giant merlion. She was so thrilled when she saw the cake and when we started singing Happy Birthday. It made me wonder why no one does these kinds of things for me. But then again, I'm not that kind of person. So it doesn't really matter.

Saturday was spent shopping for army stuff. Things like powder, extra army t-shirts and singlets, socks, black tape, kiwi shoe polish, etc... Met quite a few other guys who were also booking in on the same day as me. Went to meet Christine after dumping my stuff at home. Had dinner at Takashimaya before walking all the way to Dhoby Ghaut MRT... I actually intended to send her to her church youth service before heading back to my church. But I thought it would be good to see their youth service and also say hello to some of the mission trip people. I'm glad I did.

Seeker Service today was better than I expected... As usual, God did His 'thing'. There will always be things that we can improve on but praise God that He can use us for great things. I was especially moved during the actual skit. When Alicia, Jean and especially Wee Seng (1 year old Christian?) was acting out their roles, I was stunned by how God has been with them as they've grown spiritually. It was just the fact that these people love my God enough to serve Him in ways they know how.
If you could only see how He has changed our lives. If you didn't just brush it off as just another religious mumbo jumbo. If only you weren't blinded by the world. If you didn't try to reason everything out through logic with your limited understanding. And if you did try to reason logically, if only you'll do it thoroughly.
Would you believe?

I personally don't believe in scare tactics. But there was nothing scary about Atomic's (the speaker's name) message. He gave an overview on his topic, lingered in every point, revisited the points he covered after finishing each point and at the end of it all, summarised everything again. Maybe to make sure everyone got the message. Praise God no one fell asleep. Praise God that he works despite things like this. Haha. Not that I'm perfect in any way. I played horribly during worship too...
4 hours of soccer to cap it all off today. Its been a tiring weekend. But I'm a happy boy nonetheless. Praise God for family and friends. I'm going to spend my last few days as a civilian at Rhema Bible School. 7am tomorrow!
