The Opera Populaire

My CG is embarking on a new series of intensive discipleship Bible study. We all have to commit to reading up to prepare for the weekly sessions everyday. Started mine yesterday and found the reading very interesting. Read abt the history of the Bible. Although Stephen had always been giving me personal lectures on this topic, I never could fully get what is the Septuagint, etc. And neva really bother to find out, I must admit :p Until yesterday.

As a church called to minister to the youths, at times, we tend to feed on milk rather than solid food that we should be having, because of the many youngsters there. But I am glad for the cell grp, esp for this session, becos finally we are gonna get the solid food. Truly I am very blessed to be in the church and I hope to be a blessing to them as well.

Went to the Ford Factory, which will open this Thu, to work on Sat. My supervisor so seldom asked me for anything that I know whenever she does, it must be terribly urgent. I dun mind oso, as it is part of my duty. I must say it is a pretty impressive establishment after the renovation. We were doing most of our work and eating at the Surrender Chamber. Thankfully, the table and chairs were not the actual artefacts :p Talk about public history :)

Had a nice surprise on Fri night. Was working till pretty late when my cousin called, saying they were in the area and asked me out for dinner. I asked them to go ahead 1st actually, but they were so sweet to wait and I'm afraid I really made them wait, for 45 min in fact! We went to Pasta Cafe. The food and service used to be better apparently, but to me, it's the company that mattered.

元宵节 really arrived in the flash of an eye. Was in my room when I saw the full moon, framed between the trees of my backyard, climbing up the sky. It was a beautiful orange colour, contrasted against the blue sky of the late evening. Is it supposed to be called the harvest moon? Recalled that the moon is full on 初十五s.

My cousin and her British husband went back yesterday. How time flies. Soon, around Sept, they will have an addition to their family. According to some of my relatives, it will probably be a boy, cos her features apparently bec less attractive during pregnancy! Bad news for gals like me who want to have boys next time. Buahahaha :) Well, love and marriage is still so far away for me. But I'm gonna be a 表姑 soon at least!

Apparently the saying that truth is stranger than fiction has more grounds than it seems. A plot from the book of one of my fav authors, Pramoedya Ananta Toer, is manifesting itself in the life of my fren. I only pray that the ending is not as tragic as it is in the book. Gal, be strong. Let your mind win over your heart, please.
