Elections here!!! But then, there's no opposition contesting here, so it's a walkover. Ah... no chance to vote. Haha, dar have a chance to vote, though i suspect she might find it a hassle to travel all the way back to Tampines just to cast a piece of paper into a box. My thoughts... 1- Burn the Floor is really an excellent production. The dancers were all so awesome, the way they move, their flair, their style, their looks... The dancers were all either very handsome or very pretty. Switching easily from ballroom to Broadway style, from jive to salsa, they were technically astute. A pity it was a 1 hour matinee, not the usual 2 hr show. Oh well, at least the tickets are free, so I ain't complaining much.
2- Rushed to City Harvest Church after catching the dance production. My 1st thoughts upon reaching there is that it is like a concert. What with all the singing, and the jumping up and down, it really was an eye-opener to me, even though I had expected that CHC’s services were not ordinary compared to other churches. Haha, seeing Felicia onstage performing is really different from seeing her at work. Guess being onstage brings out a totally different side to a person. It’s just like saw Dar’s performance at MOS. I remember seeing Dar perform that night. I was pretty fascinated, that there is this side of Dar which I had never seen before. Hehe, the missus will surely be questioning me later when she sees this…..
Anyway, after attending CHC’s service, I must admit that the pastor is a good speaker. Hmm… but actually, after attending 2 of their services, I come to the conclusion that all pastors are good speakers. Maybe the political parties should consider hiring them as spokesperson for their rallies!!
I’ve noticed one thing about CHC and that most of its congregation are pretty young. My mum, upon learning that I went to CHC ( as usual, she rumbled my bag, and saw some of the CHC stuff), and asked me about CHC, and went on saying that CHC appeals to young teens in their 17-18, and keep asking people for money. I was about to refute the words she said, when I recalled that there WERE a lot of young people, and upon attending 2 services, well… there was an emphasis on donations. A part of the service that I found to be a little unsettling was when they actually showed a presentation about how much each individual should give according to their status. I mean.. come on… how much one should give should be up to them, shouldn’t it? And another thing about CHC was how it proclaims to be the best church here.. Hmm… I mean if you’re talking about a corporation, or a school or a sports team, it’s ok, as there’re RESULTS to show for, e.g. sporting results, profits and academic results. But this is a RELIGIOUS organization. Come one, even though I’m a free thinker, but ain’t you serving the Almighty One? Does having the largest congregation means that one is actually the best one out there???
I know Dar will want me to go there again…but I don’t find myself attending CHC… firstly, because I’m a free thinker, and secondly, I don’t particularly like CHC’s style… especially during their prayers in tongue… it’s quite unsettling to say the least… I don’t mean to be insensitive or whatsoever.. but when I first heard it… it freaked me out. It totally did, seeing everyone around me doing that…
3- Work’s ending soon… and its time to evaluate my options again…. Full-time studies??? But there will be no income… no money… and I really do want to let mummy take a break.. this morning, when I was watching TV, and Mummy was feeding KaiLin some stuff (like what she always does). I took a look on her face.. and suddenly, I realized that she looked really tired and worn-out.. it was kinda..sad.. that mummy actually looked like that… and then, I recalled what Waiyee’s friends said about Mummy on that trip to Down Under.. that Mummy was really energetic and fun with on that trip, and that she was quite refreshed… made me wanna provide Mummy with a trip too!! Anyway.. the point is that, its either work or study.. and if I study… mummy and father will have to provide for me.. and I really don’t wish for that… oh well… take things at a step ba….
