Wednesday Already

In a flash its already wednesday, and the Passion Week is almost half over. In the meantime, I've watched Hitch, driven Weimin's car (yay!!!) which her mom actually handed to me to drive, met up with Enhan, visited Jingting and the baby, and had a really really good night of sharing with Henry. If I were a multi millionaire and making money isn't the issue, I'd say I've had a really good start to the week.

Hehz...

Anyway, Hitch was pretty good. I mean, some of the stuff were naturally unbelievably tacky and cheesy. Get past that, and they had some pretty good lines and a pretty good point. Not to mention a lotta laughs. Unfortunately its one of those movies where it would have been a lot more enjoyable without the trailers, which gave away a little too much already. Kindda spoilt a lot of the laughs since they gave it all away already.

Met up with Enhan yesterday morning, and was basically just catching up on how he's been and how I've been. Its been almost 2 months since I last caught up with him, and so I guess we've also drifted apart a little more. That's kindda sad, given the fact that we were never close, and it had taken me a while to get him to open up. Now we're kindda back to square one again. Good news is that he's gotten back with Weimin again. I'm trying very hard to not kaypoh abt their business, since I've already said all I'm supposed to say, and then some. So I didn't wanna ask anything abt them as long as they don't tell me. But I can guess its a difficult time for them both, having to decide on their long-term future. Getting back for now just to stave off the pain might be good simply cos it gets them to be functional in the short term while they have exams and assignments all pressuring them, but I guess I can't help but worry for them that its like applying a band-aid to a broken joint. But that aside, I'm gonna take him out for Street E after his exams. Its something I keep telling myself I need to start doing again - telling people about Jesus, and I guess its good to be bringing him out to do that instead of just doing scripture memory. Hehz...

And yes, the shock of my life when Weimin's mom handed me her keys to her car and asked me to go pick up Weimin before going down to KK to visit Jingting. I was under the assumption that I was only to hitch a ride from her when she's going down to pick up Weimin from her school, so she can have the car when we go down to KK. But she pulled into a relative's house, then told me to drive down to pick up Weimin. Hahahaha... always glad to have a car to drive. But man, was it stressful. Grins. But good stress. Good stress. So I drove on the roads alone for the first time today. Yays!!!!!

Grin grin.

Had dinner with my family after that, and met up with Henry at nine plus at Meng's Kitchen. We talked until 1:30 in the morning, believe it or not, walking in the park. Guess we just had a lot to share about, musings on our own spiritual walk over the years, our struggles with our failures and our inadequacies, how we're doing right now, esp when looking back on the dreams we once had for God. So we talked about relationships in church, about BGR, about missions, about ourselves and our families... man. I guess of all the diffferent male friends in my circle, most of whom are those I relate to at a peer level or else those whom come to me for guidance, Henry and Paul are the few whom I know I turn to for perspective and direction. And in the absence of the discipler or mentor I've always wanted, I guess these are relationships that I really do treasure. Moments like these with Henry are slowly happening. We seldom meet up, but when we do we can talk for hours. And I guess it comes as no surprise actually, but its always with a certain wonder to discover the many similarities we share in our struggles, from ministry to our personal issues. Its funny how before my breakup, it was always Grace who seemed to talk to Henry more while I never did talk to him so much. Yet now I seem to really be the professional gooseberry between Henry and Bernice.

Yeah, my little private joke of how me, Henry and Bernice form the Unholy Trinity of the Levite Ministry. The boy, the girl and the huge lightbulb.

Hehz...

Meeting Chee Kiong tmr regarding the brochure I'm supposed to be working on. I've never done a corporate brochure before, not too sure I'm up to it. But I guess I shd give it a shot instead of always being too scared to give things a try. Guess my greatest apprehension after I took up the offer is that I'd let CK down.

Sigh.

Ruth's been dumped by Nut, and that poor girl has not only developed an allergic rash, but I also received messages from her today abt how she's feeling kindda down again. Ah well. Apart from my out-of-body experience when I got to drive the car today, I haven't exactly been all sunshine as well.

Darn. I know its Passion Week, but mebbe what sucks is that I know my feeling down is just the same familiar feeling I always have, which means that Passion Week or not hasn't really made things any different.

Perhaps I'm just being really indifferent.
