i feel fat and broke. just came back from double feast.
today is eric and nicole's wedding, for the first time in my life i attended a church wedding ceremony >< i met susi to go together, it's amusing seeing one another in golden and yellow attire.. guess we just wanted to look bright in this joyous occasion. we reached there very early, saw lots of familiar faces (of course). many of the gals were in pink, made the whole place very sweet. anyway really congrats to both, very emotional couple considering that they cried a lot =)
i think the whole ceremony made me think.. the purity of wedding, a real meaning of relationship, the seriousness of commitment for life. glorifying God. it's not for fun. sometimes we always joke about crushes or getting into relationship but it's really much more than that. it is not easy to balance and most of all, to glorify God. if you are seriously not ready for all the commitments, don't even think of going into one.
ppl told me that i'll be going to more and more wedding ceremonies in the future, haha.. true, though those are going to cost me a lot, it's just a great thing witnessing such an important decision made come to pass. please don't ask me when my turn is.. it's really in God's hand. i wanna keep a positive thought though the future is seemingly quite bleak =p
the second feast of the day would be samuel's farewell dinner. 17 of us cramped into one long table at heritage, the north indian restaurant at sixth avenue. the place was surprisingly comfortable and the food's nice too. i like their weird green chilli, wanted to buy one bottle home. samuel had a great time i think >< we all affirmed him and he tried to affirm us also, especially his beloved cg members lolx. we're really going to miss him, no joke. we took quite a few pics, hope to post them here soon. anyway it's not really going to be the end, i know he'll come back one day to visit us. meanwhile God's hand will continue to be upon him, wherever he is.
thinking - how wonderful it is to be part of a church community. *livi* 11:12 PM
