if every week was like this....

what the title has to do with the entry i really don't know.... but i'll change it when i can think of a better one...

so the last few days have been quite ok... catching up with sleep... catching up with anything other than tekong... enjoyed myself mostly... being away from tekong does have its perks... i'll do a quick summary of the last few days...

friday
lunch with shawn... ordered the thai set meal for 2... but he doesn't take the tom yam soup... and he didn't really eat much of the rest of the dishes either... but the fish was nice...

then it was IMM with benjamin and daniel... didn't buy anything 'cos nothing caught my fancy... think they felt a little bad because i didn't buy anything... but really la... uncle tastes... don't see anything nice... maybe i need help... then on to dinner... took pictures of the food... (wadever for?)... and then home sweet home...

saturday
catch up on sleep... CHECK.

monday
HITMAN... MR 47... went with clem and reu to watch it... nice to finally see a proper game hero on the big screen... personally i thought it was quite nice... but they changed the base story a little.... it's clones la... not unwanted children... and it's a tad overtly bloody... anyways hope they do a sequel... then played daytona for a while... lost all the rounds... but it won't be that easy next time...

tuesday
fell sick... coughed till had chest pains... so slept through most of the day... peroidically waking up for a game of dota....

rewind to sunday
no... i didn't forget sunday... just thought it'll be better placed last...

went for chinese service... no translation... so didn't really get most of what was being said... but it was nice for a change... kinda refreshing... seeing a different praise and worship... even if it was for one song... eh... whose fault ah?

after service... went down to pkc with eileen to pass some time... waiting for her grandparents for lunch... said my hellos to the people there... nice to see most of them again after missing church for 3 weeks... suddenly everyone gave me some weird stare and head movements as if to ask...(ok some did actually ask)... "eh, who's that? your gf ah?"... i tried my best to reply with a look on my face which i hope signaled..."duh... no la...of course not... she's only here to find wen jing"... sheesh... the conclusions people jump to just because things happen slightly differently... strangely... i saw some of them heave sighs of relief after that... i wonder why....

proceeded to lunch... tried to eat as quietly as i could... faced down... grandparents asked questions... i answered where i could... the grandmother even said she carried me before... but of course wrong person la... grandfather talked about difficulties serving God 'cos you do have to deal with Man at the same time... then they asked about my parents and stuff... i nod.... and eileen goes... "i've never seen your father before..." oops... okay... here's where i have to apologise for misrepresenting myself... it's sort of easier to just nod and "hmmm..." your way through... rather than explain things out (in CHINESE mind you)... i seriously seriously seriously forgot what "divorced" was in chinese at that point... so yea... don't shoot me... i really didn't mean it... didn't want to spoil the lunch mood... sincere apologies once again...

met up with shawn... asks me to become his 3rd photographer... wah lau... i tried my best to decline... until eileen shouts out to take turns... i respond with a meek "orh".... and shawn says it's not fair... hullo... people suddenly shout like that... no chance to think properly of how to reply mah... anyways... it's not that i want to be difficult or anything in not helping... it's just that... when i was young... i remember helping out and doing some stuff for other people... but didn't really turn out the way they wanted it to... and i got blamed for it... anyways i tried my best already... so ever since then... anything i know i can't do properly... i try not to... it's much safer for everyone...

after that it was back to church to see shawn's wedding video... usual fanfare of old to new pics... nothing really "wow" about it... but still nice la... simple... sweet... and to the point...

all that said and done... we splitted up for practice... hmm.. hands felt a little weird on the keyboard after so long... hoped i played okay... amazing how they are always able to find a new kid to sing every year... anyways... the songs were fairly simple... and i had jr and clem beside me... so it wasn't that bad... time actually passed by quicker than i realised for the first time... had a second round of lunch... and went home...

....

back to the present
so there... my week... hoped you enjoyed your week and enjoyed reading mine... still not feeling too well... so help pray for me if possible...
