i'm rather tickled by the imaginary profile i gave myself today. i'm an Austrian today, haha.. guess y?

coz the microphone in which i used today was made in Austria.

Yes, i just have great sense of humour.

woke up at 11am today to find 2 msges.
1- from Edna, reminding me to share to her friend today
2- sent at 9am, by Mingde, wanted to have a lunch date with his dearest-ok 2nd to dearest.

But sadly i needed to rush to Bible House at City Hall by 130pm, so that rules out my 'hot-date'.

After the briefing, had time to spare, so went Borders & Kinokuniya to check out some magazines, coincidentally, they are having a promotion, buy 3 for the price of 2. But i didnt get any of course.

Along the way, on the escalator to the underpass, which claustophobic people will most likely faint, i heard a few Caucasians, who are breathing the same breath of air as i was, conversing.

Woman to Man: you should have been here during the weekdays instead of the weekends instead.
Man to Woman: Less packed i suppose?
Woman to Man: Its just much more leisure.
Me thinking: oh yes, totally agree, Orchard Road on weekends is a disaster, dun come down unless u're in a good mood.

While passing by LIDO, saw the movie posters, and OLIVER TWIST caught my attention. To my delight, its directed by the director of THE PIANIST- one of my favourite movies of all time, ALL TIME. Goodness, cant wait for it to make it to the cine-curtains. AHH! so exciting! MUST WATCH.

Then to church, Sunday school was overall very disturbing.
Cant stop thinking about it.
No, Pubs are never acceptable, NEVER never, as Christians should we step into Pubs.
when i'm talking about Pubs here, i'm refering to those which arent desirable, you know what i mean, those which are sexual and all, most of which are operated under tinted doors.
i feel that those which are 'open' like those Soccer or Irish Pubs, which appears alright and decent to me just like any other cafes. you can see people just socialising in a proper manner- e.g sitting down with a cup of juice and talking in the open air.
But overall, as a Christian, these places should be avoided, regardless of circumstances.
I feel that what Pastor Ong said makes total sense to me.
We should be the ones influencing our friends and colleagues, not the other way round.
Maybe i'm too sensitive, but Pastor said he doesnt drink nor smokes nor do whatever undesrable things because He's a pastor, it wouldnt be a good testimony and example to others/ for others to follow.
Is it ok for us?! After all, Wen Sir says its permitted if circumstances prevail. perhaps we need to prepare ourselves like leaving early or whatever.
i feel Not just because Wen Sir a pastor who is highly regarded by many so he chooses not to drink. i think its some spritual values in which we should abide to, even though we may not be someone who is a leader in church.
its all about a good testimony, as i've mentioned earlier, we all know how many pairs of eyes are watching us.
go on, choose a cafe, a Hard Rock Cafe.

if dz and i are not gentlemen, what then do you categorise Eunice Chua under i wonder.

Disturbed and falling asleep,
Alvin Chia
