Weekends

SATURDAY

Woke up early in the morning to go to Yishun SAFRA for my camp's CNY cum Family Day. Nothing much there... just burnt my morning when i can just sleep... 14 hours of sleep in 4 days... Doing things that aren't productive except being there for Eliz whenever i can.

Went to AMK Hub after that to 'die die' must get earphones... Got it finally... So i was passing by Starhub, and remembered that i need to change to line rather than use prepaid. So i saw a deal which is quite good. $48 for Nokia 5310 + monthly subscription of $25.95, 2 year plan. Free 500 mintues outgoing calls, 1000 free sms. Good deal! So i picked the colour of the phone, the number and then the cashier told me, "You're under 21 and you're only entitled to 1 line." So my dad is using a line under my name! Argh!

Well, i fumed all the way to church. Service was alright. Too sleepy to understand. Didn't go for sports challenge and cg members asking me why. Well, I knew that Eliz isn't going. She doesn't want to. And she wasn't feeling really good. How can i just go and enjoy myself and abandon her when she needs someone to be there. I made a promise to anyone that i will be with her at all cost. ALL COST!

We went to Marina Square. Walk around and decided to catch a movie. 27 Dresses. Well, that's the only show that has the right timing and no rating but PG... :P I fell asleep almost at the end of the movie... Was really tired. Wait! Before that, i bought her a cup of CHOCOLATE 'FLUDGE' Ben's and Jerry's ice cream. Haha! According to the patron, he pronounced it as "FLUDGE". In that i reply him, "Ok, give me the chocolate fludge..." :D
After the movie, we just set opposite Esplanade gazing the starless sky. Yeah... It was a moment i will remember and i knew, i've achieved something that day... Made her smile. It was like my duty to be there for her, bring that smile back, and end her day in a high note.

SUNDAY

It felt weird not to have service on Sunday... But at the same time, it's great that Sunday is my free day. Though it's hard to stay late cos the next day, i've got camp. Oh well....
I woke up at 9:10. Headed to the hawker to join my dad who was reading the newspapers (his daily routine)... I was thinking what i should do for the day... I know, meeting Eliz was a priority... The rest isn't important. So why meet Eliz? At the end of the day, there was a reason why.
And so, she attended the Z2H progamme (thinking what prospect will you get out of it when you put too much focus on it...). Every sunday morning. We thought it will be like just till 12 in the afternoon, but somehow, it ended up till 6. And dear Eliz, she wasn't happy. I can understand why.
You see, when you tell people that you're free, they try to make use of your time. Ok, nvm if that's normal, but how can you accept someone who mock at God? Mocking a 'religion'. Hard to accept that Christianity is a religion. From what we know, it's a relationship with God. Her friends began to mock at OUR 'religion'! "Why can't you be a Catholic, don't have to commit so much, can sleep in church..." Sorry, if there's a thing i can criticise about that religion, i could. But i choose not to cos i respect yours, therefore, you should respect mine. They don't respect Eliz by mocking God when Eliz respect theirs... It was so hurting for Eliz and i was really worried on how she's gonna handle this setback...
"At times, they are the best people around, at times they are not...", Eliz told me that with tears in her eyes yesterday. I met up with her. Later in the evening after meeting my ITE schoolmate for dinner... Her mood change. And it breaks my heart to see her like that... I just felt her sorrow in me. I told her to leave, but no. Audrey told me they were her only clique in school. Does clique really matter? Or is it a way to show off your popularity in school? I just felt these are not her true friends. I want her to listen that, you can't expect much from your friends at this age. Only when she graduates from this secondary school, only then you'll know who her true friends are. Will they still keep in contact with her?
A friend doesn't mock another's religion. And yes, i'm really very pissed by this. I wanted vengeance on that person who said that and hurt Eliz...
Let God settle this.

Psalm 35:15-17
But in my adversity they rejoiced
And gathered together;
Attackers gathered against me,
And I did not know it;
They tore at me and did not cease;
With ungodly mockers at feasts
They gnashed at me with their teeth.

Lord, how long will You look on?
Rescue me from their destructions,
My precious life from the lions."

This may be her plea right now... But God always has an answer for every circumstances in life.
Simply this:

Matthew 24:34-36
Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.


Eliz, no matter what, God is with you. He never abandons you. No matter how far you feel away from God, God is waiting for you to come back to Him. Look up to Him for answers of life most difficult trials. Remember the book i lent you? FACING YOUR GIANTS? You ca overcome these giants like how David saw off Goliath with just five stones.
Five stones represent: Past, Prayer, Priority, Passion and Persistence.
I always say that God is with you. So am I.

Love ♥
