Yesterday, I had a friend over for movie, wine and "fine dining". Hee.. I prepared Brie cheese and strawberry to match the white wine she bought over. I think the wine was really solid. For the first time (I think), I slept on her. Usually, it's the other way round. Haa! We had 3 movies to watch but by the time we started on the 2nd movie, I somehow made my way to my bed and unknowingly, I fell asleep. If not for a dream (which I cannot recall), I would have probably slept throughout.
I always enjoy playing host to my good friends at home. When I was back in Brisbane, every other week, I would love to have friends over for steamboat or just a simple meal. If possible, I like to dish up new dishes. If not, I would just simply like to spend time over a movie and a drink. I always thought that nothing beats being at home.
Since Friday was service, we had caregroup today. Caregroup was a good 3 wonderful girls! Zann had to study for her exams tomorrow. Nelson made another appointment with his B thinking that today's caregroup was not confirmed. Nonetheless, I thought it was a fantastic time dining at Mussel Guys with Penny and Yanling. Oh, before that, we paid a surprise visit to Zann's place to present her with an 'Examinations pack' and a bouquet of flowers. Interestingly, she surprised us by being not at home. Her meeting for her missions trip overrun and couldn't be back home as planned.
After my CG, I met Geo for awhile before he goes to meet his CG in the evening. We shopped around Vivo City and finally, we preferred to be stationary at a spot and chatt. Conversation naturally led to ministry and we spoke about serving God for God alone. Service to God continues no matter which stage of life we are in. Mischievously, I glared at Geo and asked "Hey! You are spending too much time in your ministry. Can you please leave your ministry?". Man! I should have snapped his slightly-shocked look. Then he coolly answered me "You wouldn't one lar... If you wanted, you would have asked me long time ago." Indeed, I personally think that one should use his/her gifting to the best that he/she could to glorify God's kingdom. Ministry is almost Geo's life. Getting him to get out of it is almost like telling him that he has totally made the wrong choice in having me as his partner.
Anyway, a few hours break from home gave me some freedom to think of a solution to the 'problem' mummy and I have at home; that is to bring my dad out everyday. It is really tedious for my mum to clean the wheelchair each time she returns, not forgetting that Sparkle may have pee-d and there is that mess to clear up. Solution: Buy another wheelchair. One stays home. One goes out. Mummy bought the idea and wheelchair shopping I will go! Praying for some "Great Singapore Sale" for wheelchairs now! Any 'lobang' anyone????
