Went to Sengkang Methodist Church today. Its quite big... Could fit over 900 people in the sanctuary. Anyway, I was there for a seminar... Supposed to go for 'powerful preaching' but I discovered that it'd be in Mandarin. So decided to accompany Stephanie and Elissa to 'Wesleyan Revival and Tradition'. I knew that it was going to be a dry topic once I saw the title. But it would be the only one spoken in English! I think too much emphasise is being placed on John Wesley... Yes, he did do a lot of things for Methodists but these were bible truths. Its not like he discovered something special? Yesh... Give him credit for doing God's work and preaching about God's love and grace but it still is GOD's love and grace?
Had a nice time chatting with Stephanie and Elissa during lunch. Found out some quite surprising information about her... Thank God for showing me through this, that there are some people who aren't so shallow after all.

Went for basketball with Shen, Cheng and Denise just now. I actually wanted to discuss tunes with Shen but didn't get an opportunity to. (He just called me... He sounds pretty upset. Hope everything is alright...)
Denise had a cow just now over a small issue... I think its my fault, but I can't find where the fault is? Hope she's alright.
This reminds me of Eileen. When she would get angry for no apparent reason. PMS gets way too much credit. Or maybe I really don't understand... All I know is that I can't be anything more than right.

PMS: When girls don't know what they want, still want it and when they can't get it, get angry with guys for not knowing what they wanted in the first place.
Sheesh.. Why am I letting myself get into this topic?

::: Song of the Day :::
give a word of fragile optimism that this will be okay
bore down on gluttonous hands, regurgitated thoughts from my heart
this can only be the going under
this can only be killing the me in me
push and pull like the machines
the humans anthems are dying in me
i don't think a soul knows compromise like a soul mate
it sleeps with me
in my flesh i ask for a personal bleeding
the holy ghost has word with me
it comes in love, it comes with gentle hands that disinfect the sting for me
a whole is filled without the ring
instead a kiss, a kiss from the sun to try again
