It Has Been An Exhilerating 36 Hours
I went to a picnic; woke up to watch Germany beat Portugal and went to a new church today. The picnic was fantastic. Get to meet some new people (friends of sis and BIL), met common friends and had an enjoyable picnic. One of the new person is R. I never know my sis and BIL know a cool guy such as him. Very different from them both. He filled us up with his travelling experiences and adventures. He is very interesting.. Very chatty guy. He can hold the attention of his listeners well... But... Not my type :)
I am more interested in his friend *ding ding!* who came and join us later. I noticed the difference in me when D. settled down. I became more chatty. Earlier on, I let the others do the talking. But when D. came and start to crack his silly, corny jokes, I started to participate in the conversation more. Hmm... Oh, I came to know that D. does TVC and the "2 mega-pizal" comercial we see on channel 27 is done by his company. Yeah, he is in the creative line too *ding ding!* Haha... I had a good laugh at it because the voice-over was so funny. He told us it was done by the owner's nephew... No wonder..
And look what he did with his hands when we settled down at McCafe after the picnic...
The girls were amazed at his nimble hands and I commented, "Wow you must have broken alot of hearts by doing that!" Netheless to say, the girls went swooning over his creation.
Yeah, D. left a good impression on me. Most part of it is the humour. Right jokes at the right time. Corny ones. But then again, he is from the same church as that man of Feb. I realised they tend to have the same flair for conversation. But that's about it. I don't hope for anything to happen, although I do hope Something happen :P. Overall, I enjoyed myself alot. It is good to know that I can still enjoy great fun with Christians without the religious overtones like the ones I always attend. I feel that when you became too spiritual in such casual outings, people tend to be more reserved in the expression of words. I certainly didn't find it in this picnic outing.
I look forward to more of such activities. :)

Strangely enough, even though the fun picnic moments kept me awake till about 11plus, I woke up automatically at 2.45am, the exact time I tuned my alarm clock so that I can watch the 3am Germany-Portugal match. Klinsmann fielded alot of the reserve players and they worked pretty well together on the field.
The first half was normal. You know, like any match you saw for the previous week. But come 2nd half, the Germans really bia like crazy. Schweinsteiger's magical first ball at the 56th minute, all on his own, was superb. The Germans supporters began to sit up to watch this 21 year old, and the players on the field bia even more crazy. Portugal's Petit, in a bid to hit the ball, sent by Schweinsteiger, away from the German's goal post, send it straight into the net, making it an own goal at the 60th minute.
The Portugese began to catch up, and the match gets heated up. Schweinsteiger scored again at the 78th minute (can't remember how was the ball passed). More hard work for Portugal's Figo. With good coordination, he send a ball to Nuno, who was able to send the ball into the net at the 80th minute.
It has been a good game at the 2nd match. I think alot of us wonder why couldn't the Germans play as good as this in the earlier rounds. This was what the match is all about all this time. Excitement. Goals. Fair play. Haiz. But it's all over liao. The fireworks in the 11pm German night skies announced the last game the host nation will play in this competition, and we can see from the tv the emotions-stuck-in-the-throat kinda feeling on the German players when the camera pans from player to player on the field.
Finally it's over for them. But for football fans, it ain't over till it's over, tonight.

Again, for some reason, I woke up on time, today for church service. At the exact alarm time I set. This time, for church service. Have skipped a couple of services already. Today I decided to go to a new church. I guess Big Guy wants to help too. Hence, He tugged me up a little so that I can wake up on time, without the alarm clock :)
The service was held in a hotel and the worship style was familiar, comparable to PC. The church members welcome me friendly, some of which, were old members of PC. Actually I thought I could just slipped in and out quietly. But H.L., one of the PC former member, came up to me after the service, introduced me to his wife, and invited me to talk to their pastor. The pastor was very friendly and updated me about their activities. I also talked to some old faces of PC at the church too.
Compared my earlier experiences at Expo, I am more comfortable at this church service. I don't have to feel out of place among youths like the service at the Expo, and I see that there are quite a good number of young adults around my age in this church. Cool. I hope someday I will be able to join them.
For some reason, I came home feeling joyful and refreshed. Not like the slug I have been feeling of the past 2 weeks. Maybe this time, I have found the church to settle down.
I hope I have. Big Guy, please make it so.
Amen.
