my first service

yesterday i went for my first church service at new creation church.

i've always wanted to attend service. why so much later in my life? why the sudden interest in christianity. well there have been times in my life when i have experienced all-time lows and felt very depressed. especially last year when i was going through a very rough patch and everything didnt go my way. during the time i was feeling like this, i was trying to find ways to get myself back on track and feel better about myself. i remember walking into my sister's room and picking up the bible and started to read it. Jesus loves me, that's why He led me to Him. and many more events have inspired me, like reading alvin's blog, and many more instances of which i cant really remember now.

anyway, i enjoyed the experience and i will be very willing to go again and make it part of my life. and who knows, i might convert one day. Amen.

i'm starting work next monday. it's a mixed feeling, calling christina up and saying i want to take up the job. on one hand i feel very excited because it's a new job, a new start and time to make some money. but on the other, i feel quite sian because the working hours are uber uber long and this means no life on weekdays. but not that it matters, cos no one asks me out anyway. which brings me to my next point..

i feel like ive become forgotten by most, if not all, of my friends. my life is really about basketball, slacking at home and nothing much else. people like nl and ym are always like yeah will call u out, or yeah will ttyl, but they never do. and the guys in the study gang are always doing things on their own. i wish i had a group of friends very tightly knitted, like friends the tv show. but then again, relationships would form, then break, and everything would grow awkward. it's always the case..

i completed the 10km run on sunday. it was a very easy run, and i enjoyed it quite alot. but looking back i should have applied for the 21km.. i should have set higher standards. one day i intend to run a marathon. perhaps the london marathon, cos i cant make the sg marathon next yr. but well 10km is a start. Father, please give me the strength to keep running and stay healthy and injury free.
