Miss Universe
That was a joke I made up when I heard "Miss You" over the weekend during a particular wedding at PC. I heard a few "we miss you", and to avoid getting emotional, I turned the phrase around and say "I am Miss Universe? Thank you!"
I saw many old faces. And whenever we stopped to chat, I'd always have to answer the standard questions:
"How are you?" - almost default
"Where are you now?" - that would be the question to find out the church where I attend
"When are you coming back?" - Smile, "Aiyah, don't ask me this kind of question lah!"
They like my new hairstyle; They noticed I looked different, but not many can pin point the difference.
Then, there was the first-time ever sharing I have with a pair of couple on my honest views about some the things that I was concern about. And it's heartening to know that they actually understood what I was trying to say and agree with my sharing. And told me to return to PC, but to their congregation.
To all the requests for me to return, I gently return a "no". As much as a part of me wanted to do so, I know it's not going to happen. CC will be the place I will grow, and serve again. I believe it's a calling, and it's shame that I had to just drop everything in PC and move on. It has not been an easy road for me.
There were alot of work to be done for the wedding, last minute work in fact. Many exasperations, many miscommunication.
Please, if you want to get married, let someone else do the coordinating work. Don't be your own wedding coordinator. No, NEVER be your own wedding coordinator. You should be the happily ever couple on your big day.
Funny thing, we tend to be bothered by things that are not a result of our fault.

Took today off to recuperate. And good thing I did. Otherwise, I'd be too flat-out to go to work today.
Being out in Sentosa, taking in the cool sea breeze and doing idle chatting is one of the best way to relax. Then followed by a Hong Kong style lunch at 4pm, and "Die Hard 4.0" thereafter. The show, btw, is a good one. Pretty action-packed, and I got to admit, Mr Bruce Willis still got his moves.
It's funny. And strange.
In the midst of all the explosions, car crashes, gun shots and more explosions in the movie, I got a message,
Which technically speaking, this is the second time that I get an impression like that within the same month.
As in, that special one is near.
I have no clue. I only have an impression that he is near.

Well, if that is from you, God... I hope he will arrive soon.
