I am beginning to feel that maybe things are looking up, and thank God for it. So good things like company, they come on a roll. Although many would argue that it is the same for bad things.

Friday
A queer training session cannot be written off as bad, even if you beg to differ. But me and Joanne went off and had our weekly friday 'fellowship' anyway. The curry was bad, remind me to never even think about having it again.

Saturday
L-cell was good, service even better. Then it was cell. First, proper cell with the RGS girls and I am already beginning to like them already. I tried to be the best I could be on that night, in any sense, and they reciprocated my efforts with warm responses and kind gestures. For once, I am reminded of the joy of leading a cell with attentive and witty girls. And you can hardly blame me for needed to be reminded, I was used to shouting out my words with the p6ers. I had to be louder than them so they would listen. Don't even get me wrong, they were an absolute joy to be with. Just that it depends a lot on your very own definition of joy. :P

I liked the cell session, how God was among our midst. And I am dreaming of big dreams, planning things that I never previously had the confidence to. I would love for things to go uphill for us now, my only prayer being that God would be the engineer behind everything and anything. I want to do this well, because I know those sheep matter to God.

Sunday
Sunday has got to be the highlight of my week! I am beaming and grinning like a silly fool as I recounted what went on on Sunday. It was a day for celebration. 3 Birthdays that I want to honour, and all the satisfaction was like such a surprise bonus.

I went out with leepeng to Food Republic to spring my aunt a (not really)surprise visit. She, my favourite aunt, and seeing her makes me happy somehow. Then we went off to Marina and got our haircuts. After getting my mum's present, it was birthday celebration for her. And it went really good, she was really happy. I hope she liked my gift, though I know she will wear it even if she doesn't like it. Suddenly I felt that I have done a right thing and I felt that I was glad. I dont really know how to articulate what I felt at that time but it was good.

So after dinner with my mum and her church friends, I rushed over to Marina Bay to meet the rest. We were going to celebrate Sean and Persis's birthdays. Both are good friends of mine and I was looking forward to spending time with the church peeps. After losing my way(for the 2nd time of the day), I found the steamboat place. Too full to eat, I just sat down and listen to Sam Yuan's jokes. I looked on as Crystal brutally murdered the live prawns. And I got amused as she explained that we should dip the prawn's head into the boiling soup to 'kill the brain' first. -_-"

I switched table because I wanted coke. Then we started cooking lots of prawns. The happier thing being that I ate many many many prawns without having to peel any one of them. How nice of Ben. The only thing was that I had to be his maid for a while because we agreed that peeling prawns is such a treacherous task. The soccer people came shortly and I started to talk more. They insisted that me and zx shouldn't sit together, because we will start discussing about school work. It is funny because we just had to talk about it, and I don't even feel sad talking about it. Then I disturbed ernie by giving him MAJOR spoilers about Prison Break. Poor him, I think he really wanted to box me. About the spoiler part, my bad. :p An Arsenal vs. Man U debate soon begun shortly and it was even more fun when we josh one another.

I got a free ride home, and everything felt really good.

Although things started to go a little downhill from there(with Man U losing the match, almost like a bad sign), I thank God for all these joy, fun and occasional pain. I want to smile.
And I hope You smile with me too. (:
