SINGAPORE LIFE CHURCH ROX!!! I don't think I'm ever going to leave this church. After all, it's sort of like my second home there, considering the fact I've been there since I was an infant.
Anyway, today was Parents Nite, and we teens were supposed to prepare dinner for all our parents...lol...Reached church at 5 plus and saw Daniel and Ziyi already barbecuing chicken while Marissa was preparing the soup and salad. Heard from her that they went Plaza Singapura at 10 in the morning to shop for ingredients. Gosh! And I was still in bed that time. All the parents were in room 3-2 having some meeting before heading downstairs for dinner. Ha! I learned how to chop bread today! Well, in the slanted way of course. I was actually peeling parsley when Gabriel chop bread chop until very frusrated. So I decided to take over...not too bad...the bread looks the slanted, fanciful curve it should look. Child prodigy since it's my first time chopping bread that way! Appetizers was chicken vegetable soup with the bread followed by BBQ chicken cutlet as the main course. Desert was the "Oreo-Lemon Cheese Cake" Daniel made. While they were having their meal, I was asked to play the piano for entertainment...not too bad, considering I have the company of Mervyn, Matthias, Marissa and Gabriel. Mervyn and I took turns to play so I wasn't too exhausted. Uncle Mike requested for the "Da Chang Jin" theme song. Goodness! Luckily I heard the song for countless times so I just played it using my intuition for chords and melody. Then Caleb and Daniel sang a few songs...the chords were nice, since they were last-minute preparation...cool!! Both of you rock!!
The cheese cake was simply delectable...no one would believe it was home-made. Really, the base was crispy while the top part was so creamy and soft. Must really learn from Daniel...lol...
Frankly speaking, it's times like these that provides me a sense of belonging to the church. Thinking back, I've seen people coming in, people leaving. Throughout this 16-17 years, I feel that I'm still stationary. I haven't moved despite the people around me leaving and arriving. From Aunty Janet, Sheena, Aaron to Vania, Terence and Hannah. Well, maybe it's time I move on with life too...I shouldn't keep holding on to the hope that someday "someone" will return. It's time I took a step forward and embrace the new world that's in front of me...Thinking of "someone" that I'll never see again for my whole life will only cause me grief, nothing but sadness.
I'm wishing for a fantasy that will never happen. I should accept reality because I'm finally left with no choice. It's painful, but someday I know it definitely beats suffering more at the end of this whole thing.
