Sundae...

I blogged last nite. But, i donno what happened to the post. Haha, mebbe i shd save it everytime b4 i click on anything. ISH!!!!

For an update, I went to Johor yesterday to see the dentist. I think it's been ages since i last went and saw one. Anyway, it was necessary because my wisdom tooth was aching and i couldn't stand it any longer. So, i went to the dentist. All in all it only cost me rm3. Can u believe it?! Well, she's someone that David knows la. Mebbe that's why we got it for so cheap. Haha...She didn't charge us consultation fee summore u know. Anyway, after tat i rushed from Johor back to NUS. Went and play soccer with the guys and Gloria. A good game but injured myself (as usual!). Then, came back and had a good chat with Lynn and Popo and Amirul and Aiman and then mom also called. Glad to hear from u mom!!!

Well, today i went to Bethesda Depot Walk - a new church and i want to go there la...since it only takes me 30 minutes to get there...hahaha....A fairly big church. We ( me and david) met this uncle eric...wah, he super friendly!!! He kept on introducing ppl to us. Good for me lor..hahah. At least the week after that when i go, it's not so bad lor hor?! At least, i know some ppl. Haha..
U know, i find it quite important to be there on time. To church i mean. I was late. Why? Because i was hunting high and low for my veil in my room and i couldn't find it. Could i have left it in KL? oh NO!!!! Gotta go and get another veil...i already have 2 veils back in KL....and its just sitting in my cupboard. Aiyo....Anyway, i think being there on time tells alot about the respect for God that we have. I mean, if u're going to see the KINg or even your bf or ur gf, u wouldn't want to be late rite? That's what i meant la....to be there on time. Who is God to us? Why do ppl go late to church? If we can be punctual for other occasions, then why can't we be punctual on Sundays when we come to worship HIM? Hmm....mebbe ppl ought to think about this. What does going to sunday mean for them? and what does God mean to them? Is it all a habit? or do they go really with the heart of worship?

Well, of course today also marks the day of the death of the Pope. I got the news when i was on the bus to church this morning. Haha, Yes, Singaporeans think that a bus is incomplete without a tv. Anyway, the thing that caught my attention was this : they were praying for his soul. Hmm, Why would you want to pray for someone's soul after their death? Please explain. But, from what i thought, it feels like the chinese beliefs. When someone dies, they pray for their soul to be accepted by their gods. Well, won't God decide whether someone will be acceptable or not? Do we need to pray for that person? Use the word intercede if u like but is it necessary for us who are alive to "intercede" for the dead? Why pray for the dead soul? Why are catholics praying for the dead Pope? He's done great things for the catholics....and christians if u like. So, if he really is a great leader and a true christian, then why worry about whether or not his soul goes to heaven? He surely will!!! Then, why pray for his soul? When anyone in the Bible died, the ppl didn't get togehter to pray for the dead soul but if they got together, they got together to pray for themselves...and for the loved ones of the dead one. NOT FOR THE DEAD PERSON!!!! hmm...correct me if i'm wrong yah....but, it's just weird lor..

This just brings me to think about how sometimes we relegate the position of God because we put everything else above HIM. For example, we "worship" our parents because of what they have done for us in our lives without realising that these wonderful parents that we have are given by God. So, its like we thank the gift instead of the giver. Weird rite? but anyone thought of it? Yes, the pope was probably an awesome servant of God. But, wasn't all that he has done been called by God? The pope's existance alone wouldn't be possible without God. And, of course it's a sad thing that someone has passed away. But, the pope has been serving for 26 years already and he's so sick. Don't u think he should be going to a better place where there is no tears and pain. I guess, this is the hope that we christians have isn't it?!! So, why do ppl behave like as if we don't have such hope?

Let us all live our lives worthy of the calling okie?! It's not easy but it's worth it rite?! Let's persevere on knowing full well the hope that we have IN Christ!!! and knowing all the promises HE has given us and knowing that He is a faithful God even when we are faithless and when we fail HIM!!!! God LoVes US!!!!!
