My First Day of Chinese New Year
Amazingly, for a person who was so pessimistic about the whole Chinese New Year occasion, i actually had fun on the first day of the lunar year. Bet there's someone dying to claim all credit for this.. haha...
Well, today started off really okay.. by the annual first visit to my Grandmother's house. I totally love my grandmother lor. haha.. Anyway, pigged out as usual, eating mostly yday's reunion dinner's leftovers. Which was a lot. I think i really put on weight during this holidays. Sheesh.. there goes all the weight i've tried to lose... and double put on. ARGH.
Previously, my whole family will go visiting the whole day. But given the fact that we are to be mourning over my grandfather's demise, so this year we were not required to go all over Singapore. So, on receiving mr. calvin's invitation to attend his church service, i agreed. :)
So off i went for new creation's service held at the indoor stadium, and firstly, i was surprised by the crowd turnout. The number was as great as the number of people at the BLUE concert i attended with Shiva just a year ago. There was a huge crowd - couples, families, teens, grandfolks... And at the service, it was amazing to see that these people really active in worshipping God. It was certainly an charismatic event which was really glammed up with performances by the band, choir, singing talents and also dance performance. Really hyped up, i must say. It really satisfied the senses. I know that it is their preferred method of praising God, but is it really necessary? People dressed up for service like they were dressed up for a concert. I know that, it's true that it's CNY and people are dressed up for visiting, but but but... shouldn't they think twice before entering into God's presence dressed in a mini-skirt and backless top? OKAY, enough of criticisms. The testimony of the pastor and also some members were really odd. Besides, they preached a sermon with almost 80% of their members without a bible at the service. *faint* Forgive me for saying this, but how can you study the Word of God without having the Word of God?
After the really eye-opening experience and learning how different churches conduct their own services, their cultures and also what they preach about, all the more i am glad that God has brought me into the family of Christ at prophetic revelation.
Ok, after service, mr. calvin and me got lost. Apparently, being the sotong i was, brought us both to the wrong bus stop in the slight drizzle but we thankfully had very nice people to guide us the way and before long, we ended up at Suntec City! Where he made me lose my "image" as a demure gal by climbing over a erm.. slab? pavement? argh.. whatever u call it. Then we walked past the Fountain of Wealth just when we decided to eat at Fish &Co. BUT!!! I made him queue with me to touch the water at the fountain. Apparently, it has "magical effects" of blessing people. Haha.. we just queued for fun la.. Since we both are "sua-gus" and haven't been to the centre of the fountain. IT WAS SO COOL!!!! haha.. i splashed him with the water la. haha... We were like lil' kids man.. Kept making him wave at the cool chick at the DJ box too.. lol!!!
We then decided to dedicate each other songs because they were having some kind of live dedication. And gosh, when was the last time, a song was played and dedicated to me??? So, i made him dedicate to "Patricia the Queen" and I dedicated to "Calvin the Clown"... LOL!!! it was seriously funny la... we were like 2 naughty kids playing with the dedication box. The songs we chose were "Dun Cha" (me to him) and" You're Beautiful" (him to me).. haha... We didn't think that it'd be played la.. But we wanted to listen and catch it if it does.
So, we went to grab BK instead of our Fish & Co. dinner.. haha.. I bought Whopper Junior while mr. calvin bought Whopper (papa). hahaha.. and we camped at one end of the fountain and digged into our fries. Then there were sprays of water all over us and our food but silly us, just sat in the shower. haha... and laughing our asses off.. and guess what?! OUR DEDICATIONS CAME ON!!! while we were laughing like mad... so we only caught some parts of the dedications. haha.. BUT... BOTH SONGS CAME ON... AND BOTH DEDICATIONS WERE READ OUT!!!! so pleased at ourselves and happy la... haha...
We finished our meal and decided to head back.. when we realised that we were sitting in the shower because the water was spraying to the back.. and the other side was completely dry.. (difficult to describe... but it's hilarious if you know what really happened)...
Tried to take photos using our cam phones... coz mr. calvin is a super duper vainpot who thought he looked really nice in his new year clothes... which i have to agree he looked gd. argh.... sucker. but of coz i only agreed to take photo w him after he also complimented i looked gd too.. haha.. so who's the bigger sucker? lol! well, in the end, mr. calvin's motorola v3i failed him!!! haha.. batt low lor... lol! but that's just an excuse. moto sux la.. hahaha... TOO BAD... so only my hp has the photos.... mmm.. wonderin if i should send them to him. maybe should charge him.. hehe..
Our chinese new year day ended with our trip back... me to my home and him to his granny's house. was really a pretty fun day. Had to convince him i had a great time 3 times la... stupid.. and i also had to convince him that he looked good lor!!! wat a vainpot. haha... ^.^
