I was so excited and happy bout going back to New Creation i couldn't sleep last night. Somehow the place just has this draw to me. And the thought of listening to Pastor Prince and his antics just fills me with joy and anticipation. Hmm.. is this how a Christian feels?

Nonetheless it made me happy enough to crawl out of bed at 7am despite a sleepless night. On my way there I thought to myself and realised the only other time I went to church this early was the 1st Sunday service i attended with Colin. We didn't sleep the night before and spent our time wandering around Changi, watching planes land and the sunrise from Changi Close. Then i offered to accompany him to church and.. yeah suddenly felt pangs of memory.

Was the 1st time I went back after a 3 month hiatus. Felt a bit apprehensive. Went with my regular GP, Dr Ryan Thian, his pretty wife Esther, his sis-in-law Jenny and her husband (I didn't catch the name =p). They're very nice people and Jenny is very devout. In fact she bought last week's sermon by Pastor Lian (Christ Crucified: The Wisdom and Power of God) for Esther and myself! Was pleasantly surprised. Really sweet and thoughtful.

Entering the auditorium, I looked to the seats we used to occupy, look at all the loving couples around me and fully realised for the 1st time what I'd given up. The chance to be blessedly, contentedly happy. It reminded me of the times whereby it really seemed as if life was really a smooth ride, everything was ordained and had its own course. We never had to worry where to eat, what to do etc. It just flowed and somehow, even when we had nothing to do it seemed fine and I wasn't trying very hard to fill up the time. Even when he was flying I was just doing nothing at home then picking him up didn't seem like that big a chore or waste of time.

As usual I was nodding off at times during the service. Nothing to do with the message or Pastor. I was telling Ryan Colin and I used to take turns nodding off and waking each other. I still remember the times Eszee would nudge me and I'd realise he fell asleep again. I remember the times he'd insist on buying bottled water into the auditorium which we'd always inevitably not drink. Anyway I signed up for the Children's Ministry. The lady kept asking me if I was in another and I kept replying no. I guess she suspects I'd be better off in Oasis (the young, single, working adults ministry) but I guess I'm just not ready to face a whole lot of people. I love kids though.

Was looking forward to praise and worship but today there was someone else leading it. Brother Bob (I didn't catch his last name). Very country sort of singers but it was good. Wanted to get the lastest worship CD but it was so crowded at the end with people wanting to get out and loads more coming in for the 2nd service. Guess i'll get it on Thur then. Must make a point to go down for bible studies.

Going grannie's for dinner. Later.

Purest Of Pain

I'm sorry I didn't mean to call
but I couldn't fight it
I guess I was weak and couldn't even hide it
and so I surrender just to hear your voice
I know how many times I said I'm gonna to live without you
and maybe someone else is standing there beside you
but there's something baby that you need to know
that deep inside me I feel like I'm dying
I have to see you it's all that I'm asking.

Vida, give me back my fantasies
the courage that I need to live
the air that I breathe
Carino mio, my world becomes so empty
my day's are so cold and lonely
and each night I taste
the purest of pain.

I wish I could tell you I'm feeling better every day
that it didn't hurt me when you walked away
but to tell you the truth I can't find my way
and deep inside me I feel like I'm dying
I have to see you it's all that I'm asking.
Vida, give me back...
